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

After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast

their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

You guys are the coveted morning show, which I earned it.
Impacting the culture.
They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that Breakfast Club.
The world's most dangerous morning show. We in the mother wake up in the morning and they want to hear that breakfast call. The world's most dangerous
morning show.
Pee in the mother...
Pee in the...
Good morning, USA!
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!
Good morning, Angela Yee.
Good morning, DJ Envy.
I'm sure Charlamagne will be here in a second.
It's Thursday!
Yes, it is.
The Grammys are this weekend, and they're in New York for the first time in a long time.
And so everybody's in New York.
There's a lot of different events going on.
That's right.
So many different parties, so many different events.
There's a lot going on.
Yesterday, we had an event, Wealth Wednesdays at the Juice Bar that we own in Brooklyn.
It was an amazing turnout.
We had a great event.
We were talking about couples and finances.
And they say the divorce rate is very, very high due to financial problems.
Well, the number one reason that people get divorced is because of finances.
It's not even adultery.
It's nothing like that. It's finances.
So we were able to talk about that.
And pretty much that's what happened.
You know, Guy and I got together when we were broke, 15 and 16. And, you know, when we first
started, she was making more money than I was.
And then I started making money. And money never
really meant anything in our relationship. Like, we
didn't care. We've been broke living in a basement.
But, you know, when we made it, it never made our relationship. Like, we didn't care. We've been broke living in a basement, but, you know, when we made it, it never
made our relationship. Yeah, it's
a tool where we enjoy and we have fun with,
but it never made our relationship. Oh, that's because
the things, you know, people like to
call me cheap, and I'm like, no, I'm not cheap. It's just
the things that matter to me are
cheap. Right. You know what I mean? Alright, and then
in our household, like, you know, the way we do money
is we have a big pot. There's no her
money or my money. It's a big pot. There's no her money or my money.
It's a big pot.
If she wants to buy something, she goes and she calls me and she buys it.
If I want to buy something, I call her and same thing.
Everything in moderation, though.
Come on.
But it's important even if you're dating and you're not married,
it's important to have those money conversations,
and it's hard for people to do it.
People don't like to tell other people how much money they make. They don't like to tell other people
what their credit score is.
They don't like to talk.
Sometimes for people,
they've had issues.
It's embarrassing.
Especially when you ain't got none.
You have to face those issues.
When you ain't got none,
it's real difficult.
But the realest thing that happened yesterday
was a young lady came up to me
and my wife last night.
And last year,
I spoke to her mother
and she tried to commit suicide.
And she was, I think, like 13, 14, tried to commit suicide.
You know, it was bullying.
And I spoke to her.
I went to visit her in the hospital.
I didn't know the young lady, but her mom told me the story and I just felt it in my heart.
God told me to go see her.
And I went to her.
So she came yesterday and she wrote me the letter.
So I just want to read this letter right fast.
She goes, Dear Mr. and Mrs. Casey, I was hospitalized in 2015 in Bellevue for a suicide attempt around the holidays it was such a hard
and painful time for me and I just want to finally say thank you both for coming to visit me I'm
utterly grateful for your support and always remember the day my mother told me you came to
visit me in Bellevue I want to thank you personally for bringing up bullying on the breakfast club
it's a topic that needs to be discussed more.
Everyday kids around the world are getting harassed and bullied.
The suicide rate is too high and I was a victim of bullying in my school and online.
I felt like no one had my back or stood up for me.
Over the years, I've gotten older and my voice has grown.
I want to help other kids my age deal with being bullied and let them know that they are not alone.
Because of you both and visiting me and really having our conversations your genuine help heartfelt support i am alive
to see myself graduate from high school in june i also aspire to be a makeup artist a social media
star and a dj like you envy i just thought that was amazing that you know sometimes you don't know
your conversations can really affect or really help somebody, but sometimes your positive energy out there could
really help. It seems like that we
saved that young girl's life.
Just make sure you spread positivity
out there. If you ever see anything that looks a little
funny or you get a chance to really talk
to somebody, a kid, or even an adult,
definitely do it because that made me tear last night.
Drop on a clues bomb for that young lady.
I'm glad it transpired her to be a DJ
and a makeup artist like you, Envy.
Well, and a social media star.
No, not what I heard.
I heard you say a social media star, makeup artist, and a DJ.
Congratulations.
I didn't know you were a jack-of-all-trades.
You didn't hear that.
You know what?
You saved a life.
I got all of it.
The only thing you took out of it is.
You're a social media DJ, a makeup artist, and a makeup artist.
That's what I heard.
That's all you heard.
Hey, man.
I'm glad.
I didn't know you did makeup.
That was a nice thing to get from the event. a makeup artist. That's all you heard. Hey, man. I'm glad. I didn't know you did makeup.
That was a nice thing to get from the event.
I was at this
Make-A-Wish Foundation
event yesterday
and they were talking
about the lack of volunteers
right now for Make-A-Wish.
So I actually signed up
to be a wish granter.
That's nice.
So everybody here should.
I'm just upset
that all of these,
you know,
past few months
I've been coming in here
with makeup,
you ain't never offered
to do mine.
This is disgusting.
You do a good job yourself, sir. This is disgusting. You do a good job yourself, sir.
This is terrible.
You are, as they say, beat to the Charlemagne.
I got my 50-220 in my pocket.
You want to apply my foundation this morning?
I'll help you out.
I'll help you out.
All right, now Fat Joe and Dre from Cool and Dre will be joining us this morning.
And we got to talk about Monique giving you guys some ether out there, boy.
Hey.
Monique, y'all just,
God bless Monique, man.
I wish her nothing
but the absolute best.
I didn't hear about it
until you told me.
Yeah, she do some ether
out y'all.
I watched her in Sydney
last night.
Enjoyable, enjoyable
little live stream.
I missed it.
I was working.
We'll talk about all that.
All right, now,
we got front page news.
What are we talking about?
We are going to talk about
Larry Nassar.
We've been discussing him and they actually gave him his prison sentence for sexual abuse
for all those young ladies that he sexually abused over 100 of them.
All right.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
All right.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get some front page news.
Now, let's talk about this guy that's been sentenced to 175 years in prison.
Larry Nassar, he was the sports physician who was treating the Olympic women's gymnasts as well as other women.
And more than 150 women and girls said in court he sexually abused them over the past two decades.
Now, here is the judge sentencing him to that 175 years, Judge Rosemary Aquilina.
As much as it was my honor and privilege to hear the sister survivors, it is my honor and privilege
to sentence you because, sir, you do not deserve to walk outside of a prison ever again. My page only goes 200 years. Sir, I'm giving you 175 years, which is 2,100 months.
I just signed your death warrant.
175 years, 2,100 months.
That is the true meaning of time's up.
Okay.
Yes, absolutely.
But why do judges play with you like that?
What do you mean?
Just say forever with a period.
Okay.
How much time are you getting forever with a period? Well, he made a statement.
He said, there's no words that can describe
the depth and breadth of how sorry I am
for what has occurred. An acceptable
apology to all of you is impossible
to write and convey. I will carry
your words with me for the rest of my days.
Man, nobody care what you got to say. Just go
die. And you know what's crazy? So before
the judge sentenced him, she actually read
a statement from him that he wrote
to the court where he defended what he
did. Defended? He said, I was a good doctor
because my treatments worked.
And those patients that are now speaking out are
the same ones that praised and came back
over and over. The media convinced them
that everything I did was wrong and bad.
They feel I broke their trust. Hell hath no
fury like a woman's scorn.
No, no, no. but that's two different things.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that's that whole philosophy of separating the art from the artist.
Yeah, you was a doctor and you did good things to people, but you were a piece of crap.
Like, when you weigh them on the scale, the evil outweighs the good.
No, I fixed your leg, but I put my finger in your butt?
No.
Exactly.
You don't get clear enough.
But that's what I'm saying. You weigh
things on a scale. That don't outweigh the
bad that you did. Stop it.
Initially, they expected 88 women to speak out,
victims to speak in court, but that number
turned to 156
victims who came to court and
spoke out and were very brave to tell
their stories of what he did to them.
And in the wake of all this, the president
of Michigan State has resigned.
Lou Anna Simon has resigned.
Yeah, you can heal a broke leg.
Thank you.
But you're still an abuser.
Yeah, absolutely.
Knock it off.
All right.
I guess we'll talk about Trump later.
Okay.
All right.
That's front page news.
Now, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now.

This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest. Hello, who's this?
Yo, what up, DJ Envy?
What's up, man? Get it off your chest.
I just want to say I'm blessed, man.
I'm happy I woke up this morning.
Oh, wait, I got to say what's up.

Angelique.
Hey, what's up?
Man, I just got to say, you guys are the best.
I'm blessed I woke up this morning.
My daughter, she turned seven months this week.
Okay, okay.
I just got to say, yo, DJ Envy.
Yes, sir.
You know, you with Charlamagne making fun of you with Team Lightskin, you're starting a movement.
First of all, I'm not light skin, sir.
Sorry, I meant DJ Envy.
But you're starting a movement because now it's like when I'm talking to my friends, I'm like, yo, get your DJ Envy behind out of here.
Oh, you think that's funny?
Oh, so Envy's like an adjective for waffle color now.
I like that.
I like that.
But no, that's what I'm saying.
That's 2017.
It was like, that's how you describe light-skinned people.
DJ Envy.
Got you.
You got Envy on.
Thank you.
You got you.
Goodbye.
Have a good one.
I can see why he say that.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Bill from Detroit.
What's up, brother?
What's up, Doe?
Get it off your chest.
Hey, man, I'm kind of pissed off, man, because Kaepernick, you know, we still watching the NFL and the playoffs and all this s***.
See all these likes for watching that.
But Kaepernick, he's literally stood up for us getting killed.
Like, nobody else is really standing up for us, and we can't even stand behind him.
And people, like, still watching football and making jokes about it.
Like, I mean, we complain about how we can't get any leaders to stand up for us.
But when they do stand up for us, we're not standing behind them.
Here's the thing with my guy Kaepernick, man.
Kaepernick is still out there doing the work.
Right now he's doing his million-dollar pledge.
Remember, he pledged to give a million dollars to various charities and organizations.
He's done that.
He's at like $940,000.
And for the past 10 days, he's been spending the last $10,000,
and different celebrities have been matching him.
So in the past 10 days, he's given like over $100,000.
That's right.
And still got like another $100,000 to go.
It's about us, the people standing behind him because he's standing for us.
Like, yeah, he can do good.
I understand that.
And that's why he's such a good person.
But for us as a people not to stand and support him,
it's kind of like hypocritical how we get mad at everybody else
for not standing up or not saying nothing.
And when we not even
standing up
or showing unity,
all we got to do
is cut the TV off on Sunday
and can't even do that.
We don't want to complain
about how A-Town
you know,
calling us monkeys.
Like, we not supporting ourselves.
But how we don't get mad
when the white man
do what we do?
Do what they do to us.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
It don't make sense to me.
Okay.
Now, you're absolutely right, man.
But that Patriots game was good last Sunday.
I ain't even gonna lie.
Stop it, man.
That Patriots, who they played?
The Jaguars?
The Jaguars.
They came back and they buzzed ass.
Come on now.
The Super Bowl, Philadelphia, and the Patriots
is gonna be lit now.
I get everything you're saying, okay?
But I can still stand with Cap
and support my Cowboys.
This guy here.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up.
Or if you feel blessed, call us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Wake up, wake up.
With your ass.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Queen, God, DJ Envy. This friend from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, chucking in with ya.
What's up, my brother?
Get it off your chest, man.
I like your energy.
I need you to be specific when you say queen.
She's talking about you, you ass.
Not you.
Good morning.
I need y'all to give me 60 seconds real quick.
I ain't gonna lie to y'all.
I got a little shade towards the breakfast, but just a little bit towards y'all.
Why, why?
What's up?
Because I've been calling all week, and I understand y'all. I got a little shade towards the breakfast. Just a little bit towards y'all. Why? What's up? Because I've been calling all week, and I understand y'all are busy.
I got a lot of listeners.
But Trav seems to get through twice this week, and it's my first time getting through.
Trav comes on the back line, sir.
Oh, stop it.
Okay, so here I go.
Give me 60 seconds.
I got a few things to touch on.
Okay.
First, shout out to Revolt one time.
Damn it,
because Revolt TV,
y'all are beautiful.
I love to see y'all
up close and personal.
Second thing I want to say,
the young Latino sister
that we had up there,
in my opinion,
she don't look that hot.
Next thing I want
to touch on,
Mother Love,
Mother Love needs
to be thankful
for the half a ticket
that they trying to give her
because at this stage
of the game in her career,
she don't deserve that. So she needs to set
the F up forever. And my last thing
I want to say, Uncle Charlotte. Yes, sir.
Not trying to put you on blast, brother,
but you used to be an up-and-coming player
back in your heyday. Jersey hung
up, retired and everything, but how many
bodies do you have
underneath your belt, brother? Confirm. He don't know.
Oh, yeah, I'm going to be honest with you. I really don't know
how many bodies I got. I'm going to tell you
that's the truth. I don't think I have a lot, though.
Maybe in the hundreds. But why does he want to know
unless he flirting with you? He's just asking.
How many do you have, sir?
I would like to say Amara La Negra
is not a bad looking
chick. She's beautiful. So yeah, I don't know why he would say
that. And I'm not going to sit here and say
what Monique deserves.
All I want to do is put the
actual analytics out there and
let her know this is why she didn't get what she
thinks she should have gotten.
They already have a comedy special with her on Netflix
that nobody watched. Wow.
I mean, it is what it is. Alright now, Monique will jump on your
ass now.
Alright.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, this is iPhone.
What's up?
What's up, iPhone?
Get it off your chest, bro.
Yo, nah, I don't got nothing to get off my chest.
Yo, like that girl said, like, you never know what you do when somebody can touch you,
you know what I mean?
Like, in a positive way.
You feel me?
So, my man Charlamagne said that he went to the fight, and after that, he went to go
have some oxtails and rice at like 2 in the morning.
Yes, sir.
What he said, though,
he said he did an hour of cardio
just to burn that s*** off. I've been back
in the gym four days straight
right now. I eat oxtails and rice every
day and I'll never do an hour of cardio.
That's your fault. You don't look like me either.
Listen, I know, I know, but
what I'm saying, though, bro, is I appreciate you for
putting me back on my grind. Oh, yes, sir. He was giving, but what I'm saying, though, bro, is I appreciate you for putting me back on my grind.
Oh, yes, sir.
He was giving you props.
I'm sorry.
I'm always defensive.
You know why?
Because in my head, I think people are always coming for me.
So I'm sorry.
I apologize.
One more thing.
One more thing.
Listen.
On the rewind, y'all got to play that Jelly Roll, Touchy Roll skit.
When that girl called and said, I got a roll. Yo, please play that jelly roll, touchy roll skit. When that girl called and said I got a roll.
Yo, please
play that. Alright, we'll see if we get that
old for you. You put that fat shaming skit back up.
You've been riding with us for a long time.
Hey, I want to salute Showtime
too because my iPhone 7 reminded me. I was
hosting the boxing up front yesterday
for Showtime Boxing. We was at
Cipriani's and it was really dope because they had
like all the top boxers
in the world.
Danny Garcia,
Deontay Wilde,
Keith Thurman,
Earl Spence,
they all were there.
It was like the Avengers
of boxing.
And they just announced
all the fights for 2018
and I hosted that.
So salute to Showtime.
Salute to Showtime Boxing,
man, for that.
All right.
Well, that's
Get It Off Your Chest.
Now, we got rumors on the way?
Yes, we are going to
talk about Nelly.
There are two more women who are accusing him
of sexual assault. Oh, Lord.
So we'll give you those details. Also,
we'll tell you some great news for Tiffany Haddish.
Alright, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Listen up. It's just
in. All the gossip.
The Rumor Report. The Rumor Report. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, a woman is now suing Russell Simmons for $5 million for allegedly sexually assaulting her.
She says that he propositioned her for sex back in 2016 at his house.
She refused.
She said he then became aggressive, pushed her onto his bed, and as she fought back, he knocked her off the bed, hit her in the
head, and pounced on her. She said she was
in shock and fear as he proceeded
to rape her, and she met him back in
2006. They were friends, sharing
a passion for meditation, yoga, and a
vegan diet. I thought you have to press criminal
charges before you press, you can do a civil
suit. Or sue somebody. No,
not necessarily. You know? Yeah, I don't know. You can
civilly sue anybody. Oh. Alright, so now there You know? Yeah, I don't know. You can civilly sue anybody.
Oh.
All right, so now there's more than a dozen women who have accused Russell Simmons of various forms of sexual misconduct.
Would you, if somebody did that to you,
would you go for the criminal or the suing first?
If somebody sexually raped me?
Yeah, that's what she's saying.
If it's rape, he got to go to jail.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I wonder why she's not got to, she or he got to go to jail. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I wonder why she's not
pressing criminal charges.
I don't know that she's not, though.
We know that she's suing for that,
but we don't know that
she's not going to
press criminal charges.
Okay.
So this is just what we know.
She wants $5 million.
She might be doing both
at the same time.
All right, in the meantime,
two more women have accused Nelly
of sexual assault
in a lawsuit
that was filed by Monique Green,
who was the college student that says
who says that Nelly raped her on his tour bus
after a concert. Now, these allegations
are also included in an amended
complaint that was filed on Monday
by Monique Green's attorney.
She's seeking damages for defamation
and emotional trauma. She's also
requested an injunction against
Nelly and his penis that prohibits
him from sexually assaulting female fans in the future.
Why Nelly and his penis?
I guess his penis is also involved with these assaults.
Does Nelly's penis have a mind of its own?
My goodness.
Now, the first woman, Jane Doe 1, is a married mother and a U.S. military member.
She says that Nelly assaulted her after a concert in June 2016 in the UK. The second Jane Doe says that he allegedly invited her to his room
where he dropped his trousers, started masturbating,
and tried to remove her top and told her,
you want this D, don't you?
And so these are new complaints that have been filed against him.
It's a lot going on right now.
So they named Nelly's penis and Nelly's.
I'm confused with that. I knew you were going back penis and Nelly's. I'm confused with that.
I knew you was going back to Nelly's penis.
I'm confused with that.
Hold on.
Did everybody in the room see me looking right at DJ Envy?
I said, Envy's about to go back to Nelly's penis.
Because I didn't know.
I never heard that before.
Have you ever heard that before?
No.
That's crazy.
Well, you know what?
I don't know.
I'm confused.
There's a lot of things we probably never heard before that are happening now.
When it's things that I don't understand, I'm just going to say I don't know.
Now, congrats to Tiffany Haddish.
She just signed a first look deal with HBO.
Drop one of the clues bombs for Tiff.
She'll be developing new projects.
Shout out to Tiffany Haddish.
So congratulations.
It's a two-year contract for her.
And she also just was on Drunk History, where she told a story.
Basically, the premise of the show is on Comedy Central.
You get the guest drunk, and they narrate actual historical events.
Here is Tiffany Haddish talking about Rose Valland.
I'm Tiffany Haddish.
And today we're going to talk about Rose Valland.
She ready.
So is France.

Now, how do you feel about, in real life
All of these butt injections, butt implants?
Me, personally, I ain't got a problem with it.
You know what I'm saying?
If a person want to do whatever they want to do
with their own body, you know what I'm saying,

Yeah, Envy. I spoke to Envy.
He said, man, you know, his wife

Wife, kids. She turned
on that video. That boy was like, yo, I don't know
what Joe's doing in this video. Yo, Joe's bugging. Joe's bugging, man. We need to turn this off, kids. She turned on that video. That boy was like, yo, I don't know what Joe's doing in this video.
I said, Joe's bugging. Joe's bugging,

How could he do this?
I'm entertaining.
It's a strip club record. Past strip club record.
Nah, we entertaining, man.
Is your wife there on set while you guys filmed the video?
Man, this is so scary, man.
This is the first video I was scared to show
her. I showed it to her like a week ago.
We ain't talked since.
Are you serious?
Very serious.
Why?
You didn't tell her what it was beforehand?
Man, she knew what it was, but, you know, it is what it is, man.
Listen, let me tell you something.
I'm a great man.
I'm an outstanding citizen, if you ask me.
You know, I provide for a lot of
people. Fat
Joe the gangster, he's not
going to never compromise
how he makes his music.
Whether I'm older now,
whatever the case may be, I'm going to keep
making gangster music until I die.
That's just my point.
Dre said, yo, we're going to make a strip
club anthem, and we made a strip club anthem.
We went out there to Vegas.
We got with Floyd Mayweather's crew.
And we shot his amazing video, if you ask me.
You know what I'm saying?
Why Ambitions is a writer, Dre?
Because that's not technically a strip club record.
I mean, I was at the crib watching that Tupac movie.
And that's like a great movie to watch at the house.
You know what I'm saying?
You're chilling.
At the house.
He said at the house.
It wasn't good in theaters, but at the house.
It ain't a theater.
Yeah, no.
You're chilling at the crib.
You're doing what you do.
And the scene came on when Daz was playing the beat, but it was fast.
And he was like, yo, slow that down.
And when he slowed it down, just watching, I was like, man, it's crazy.
And out of nowhere, like in my head, I was just, pop that, pick it up.
Ran to the studio immediately and cut it and called Joe the next day.
I was like, yo, we got one.
You know what I'm saying?
And, you know, so excited I was doing this thing,
and we was getting such great feedback from it.
Joe was like, we got to do it again.
First of all, I had to force him to be on So Excited.
So, you know, if people don't know for America watching on Revolt,
Dre's behind the scenes of many of my hits and many of Khaled's hits,
many of everybody's hits.
So Dre been penning up them hooks forever.
So I'm so excited.
You know, I had to force him, you know, because Dre, he cool.
He comfortable.
He in Miami.
He chilling.
I'm like, yo, Dre, B, I'm going to leave you on the song.
He's like, nah, Joe, just put somebody else on there.
And I was like, nah, we're going to do it.
And then, so we had a version with Dre, and I don't want to say who else.
We had another big, big, big boy.
Two different versions.
Two different versions.
I'm going to say something that sounds crazy, but, you know,
it never, ever happens, and I don't never use this card,
but I heard Big Pun tell me yo stick with the team
so I said oh that's
it I was like yo
Pun told me to stick with the team I put
Dre on there and went top five
do you get those I guess revelations from Pun
I never get them really
I never get them you know what I'm saying so
when I do get them I listen
how'd you know it was Pun though
I knew it was Pun bro
you know what I'm saying so you know it was Pun, though? I knew it was Pun, bro. Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
So, you know, we had this same problem before.
When I did Don Cartagena, Pun was on the hook, not Puff Daddy.
And that was when Puff Daddy, anything he'd say, take that, take that, was going platinum.
Right.
So I went and got Puff on the hook.
And I remember I had not an argument, but Pun was like, yo, stick with the team, B.
Stick with the team.
We don't need Puff Daddy right now.
And I was like, nah, it's Puff Daddy.
I got to win, right?
So nowadays, it was the same similar situation, and it came right back.
The voice came back to me where it was like, yo, stick with the team, B.
Stick with the team.
We was going back and forth, and I kept telling Joe, nah, I'm good.
I'm good.
You know what I'm saying?
And then he called me and was like, yo, Pun told me to keep you to rest.
I said, Joe, stop.
You're going hard right now.
I'm going hard.
And he was like, nah, real talk.
And I was like, you know what?
I can't say no to that.
You can't say no to that.
That's like somebody handing you a Jesus pamphlet in the street.
You're not going to throw it in the trash.
You're going to put it in your pocket.
You might not even read it.
So I'll just, you know, embrace the blessing.
And since that, you know, we've been inspired.
You know what I'm saying?
And the people, the love we've been getting back from the people has been so amazing.
All right, we got more with Fat Joe and Dre from Kool & Dre coming up.
So keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now we got more with Fat Joe and Dre from Cool and Dre.
Charlamagne?
You know, Dre, you Cool and Dre, y'all don't speak much throughout the years.
Does that help to hurt?
I mean, you know, it's a good thing and a bad thing.
You don't really wear your face out.
I mean, like, you know, some people think I'm brand new, and I love it.
You know what I'm saying?
At the same time, you're right.
Like, you know, we don't really, I don't want to say claim our legacy,
but we're not out here promoting it loud. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, just what't really, I don't want to say claim our legacy, but we're not out here promoting it loud.
You know what I'm saying?
So, you know, just what me and Joe been doing lately, people been digging it up.
Like, oh, man, they did Hate It or Love It.
They did New York, New York.
They did Rodeo.
Like, so I think it's going to be different now because we putting music out and me doing something like a breakfast club.
I could, you know, shine a spotlight on, you know.
Shout out to my brother, Kool, too, because he's the one who really don't talk, you know?
I know you 100%.
Well, give these kids your resume a little bit, man.
Let them know what some of your biggest records.
I mean, New York, New York was our first hit.
You know what I'm saying?
Ja Rule.
Ja Rule, Fat Joe.
50 Never Hate You for that?
Nah, because Hate It or Love It came out four months later,
which was, you know, was strange times.
That's why it's family ties.
Like, we keep it 100.
Right, right.
You know, me and Kool wasn't, like, making beats in Miami, just emailing it off.
We was in the streets wearing Terror Squad chains.
So, like, both those records that came out at the same time was, like, it was crazy.
And you remember the time, 2003, 2004.
How did that happen?
It was really fifth flight.
It was really people getting shot.
They was nervous.
You didn't want to take that record back, though?
Because, you know, at the time, Fat Joe was in the midst of the beef. It was really people getting shot. He was nervous. You didn't want to take that record back though? Because you know, at the time,
Fat Joe was in the
midst of the beef.
It was already done.
Like we heard
Hate It or Love It
for the first time
on the radio.
Like, you know,
we knew we gave him
the beat,
but it was crazy.
It's a hell of a record.
Crazy record.
It's, you know,
number one.
Our first number one.
You know what I mean?
So that kind of like
put me...
Fat Joe back then
was a different mentality
than Fat Joe now.
Did you have to call him?
Did you have to call him, Dre?
Like, yo, Joe, listen.
Beforehand?
I just put it to you this way.
We keeping it real.
Listen.
I know Joe called you.
Oh, man.
Let's hear it, Dre.
Let's hear it.
When Joe calls you is a good thing.
When Joe doesn't call you is when you're stressed out.
And let's just say both those records coming out at the same time
definitely put a strain just on everything.
And it's just, it is what it is.
But, you know.
He didn't call you?
Nah, we ain't talking for a period of nine months.
You know what I'm saying?
But nah, of course we got back together.
I mean, that's what a real relationship or a family is,
to be able to go through anything
and come on the other side.
But, you know.
You have to reach out to him. What's your recollection of, you know, you have to reach out to him and say, hey, let's squash.
Time was bad for all of us, man, because, you know, I'm from the streets, man.
And I warred with some of the biggest warlords and drug icons you ever heard of in your life. So I was in a very tough predicament because I had beef with this guy who was dissing me
in this music and interviews, and I couldn't really get him.
You know, I'm just brought up with so much violence,
that's the only answer to everything.
And then when it got sticky with my brothers
because, you know, they was trying to throw all kind of bread
at my team and Khaled, too, everybody, you know what I mean? And it all kind of bread at my team and Callie, too.
Everybody, you know what I mean?
And it put a strain on me and Callie, too, because, you know, they was trying to give
them tons of money to produce stuff for them.
And then, you know, it was just a bad time for me.
And I was so stubborn and so warlordish that, you know what I mean?
It got me mad with everybody.
You know, it was a serious time, man.
We was playing for keeps. I always wondered about that, though, because you everybody. You know, it was a serious time, man. We was playing for keeps.
I always wondered about that, though, because you said, you know,
you put a screen on you and Khaled relationship,
but then later on 50 even got at Khaled when he was recording his mom
and everything.
So did Khaled ever come to you like, yo, you right?
You was right, Joe.
We're warlords, man.
We lie to ourselves every day and tell us we got beef.
The reason why Fat Joe been in the game 20 years,
the reason why DJ Khaled works like a slave
every day is I put a mindset
in the DNA of Terror Squad, of
Remy, of like, we got beef with
the planet Earth. Anybody
stepping our way, we rolling over them.
That's it. That's the mind state of
Terror Squad. It's like, we just
war ready. We warlords.
So, you know, so Khaled come back
to me with the, yo, here's the Fat Joe playbook,
bro. This is what it is.
You told me we knocking
cats out.
You know, it was crazy, man.
It was crazy, you know. I mean, that's
like, I don't think they'll ever,
no matter how much love, team love
or fan love Khaled got,
I don't think they can actually repair that.
You know what I mean? I mean, 50 no, you know, I don't think they can actually repair that. You know what I mean?
I mean, 50 no, you know, I'm cool with 50 Cent. You know what I'm saying? Extremely
cool with 50 Cent. And the past is the
past. Totally the past.
But, you know,
you know, he played with his moms.
You know what I'm saying? So I don't know how I could
squash that. I'm trying to squash every beef
with 50 Cent. What about Ja Rule right now?
First order of business was me trying to squash Ja Rule with 50.
He was like, oh, that's not going to happen.
That's never happening.
Pick another beef, Joe.
Just over the weekend, it got re-ignited.
He was feeling peaceful, too.
He was like, no, no, no, no.
But it got to extreme.
I mean, as Josh said, they shot him, they stabbed him, they fought.
Like, it's too extreme.
You can't, you know.
Yeah.
I mean, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah. We hold grudges, too you can't you know yeah i mean you know yeah we hold grudges too like you know what i mean the good thing with us is it wasn't no real physical beef right you know what i mean it was verbal and we got over that but jerry what made
y'all embrace fat joe so much in in miami back in the day brother from new york coming down
staking claim i think you know one thing jo Joe's always done is wherever he goes, he always, you know,
sticks his flag in the ground and shows massive love.
So if it's finger licking, he popping up.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm here.
I'm supporting the local businesses
and whoever's doing their thing.
Me, I fell in love with them.
You know what I'm saying?
So I fell in love with Kool and Dre.
I fell in love with Khaled.
That's one of the main reasons I moved to Miami.
You know, we had so much unity over here in New York.
Things was like going bad.
Everybody beefing with each other.
You know, I always say this, but I mean, everything was Fat Joe beef.
Everybody had beef.
But one day, I was in my crib in jersey and i heard the radio and i heard cameron disrespecting
nas in a in a way that i was like i am done like i am done with this new york scene i gotta get
out of here i can't believe what's going on you know what i'm saying and uh they embraced me and
we went down there and we started all that with the Rick Ross,
with the Lil Wayne,
with the Pitbull,
with Kool and Dre,
Khaled.
Like, we was like,
I've never seen
nothing like that.
Like, we was in
different studios
like running in Wayne's session
and Wayne was like,
crack, I think you do it
like that.
It's dope.
And I go back up in there
and mess with Lil Wayne
and then Ross was in there.
Like, it was just crazy, man.
It was a real unified movement, you know what I'm saying, going on out there. That's with Lil Wayne. And then Ross was in it. Like, it was just crazy, man. It was a real unified movement, you know what I'm saying, going on out there.
That's interesting that the discussion you had from New York at the time made you go down south.
Like, I never heard anybody.
I thought people were going down there for the weather.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, no, you do.
And it's a beautiful place.
But I'm just talking about I love New York City.
This is my city.
What I'm saying was the temperature in hip-hop artists,
everybody dissing each other, everybody was going at each other,
everybody, it was like no, it was not unity when I came.
You got to understand, man, I've been doing this since Flo-Jo
digging in the crates.
You know, if you go back to that time, Fat Joe was in everybody's video,
Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, this, and when it goes,
Injun, Injun, you know,
I'm one of them dudes jumping up and down.
I'm in Daza Facts video.
I'm in it like, we always love.
Everybody was like, yo, everybody.
And then to get it to a black cloud where it was like,
everybody's warm with everybody.
I was like, yo, this is whack, man. Like, to me, Nas is a rap god.
I think the same with Cam'ron, too. You know, it this is whack, man. Like, to me, Nas is a rap god. I think the same with Cameron, too.
You know, it was just terrible, man.
So it's fine that rap is a competitive sport,
but it just can't get disrespectful as far as disrespecting the legends.
No, man, that boy was talking about he's smacking koofies off, this and that.
I'll never forget that in my life.
I was like, yo, this can't be it.
In this new song, you say f*** Trump.
That's right. Now what made you do this skit
with Tiffany Haddish? For everybody that didn't
hear it, let's play it first.
This is a Channel 6 special report.
Hurricane Maria
has caused quite the devastation in Puerto Rico.
Over 75% of Puerto
Ricans are without power.
And there still is a large shortage of
water. They need water and they need power.
And we need your help.
Donald Trump don't like brown or black people.
You know, I'm Puerto Rican.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm from the Bronx.
I was born in the Bronx, but my roots is Puerto Rican.
And it just hurt me to see how they treated Puerto Rico like a third world country and how Trump people was out there.
They have they still people don't have getting power and water.
So you're talking about we're talking about giving 20 billion to build a wall.
And they told him it's impossible to give power to Puerto Rico.
So we know that's not true. Right. He went over there.
He was he was throwing paper towels at my people like they cockroaches or something.
And that was it.
Just warlord.
You know what I mean?
And we the voice of the people of the voiceless.
You know what I'm saying?
Hip-hop started with Grandmaster Flash and Melly Mello and all them guys making records like The Message.
We got to talk for the kids that's really getting harassed by these police out there.
And they can't scream loud enough.
We got to talk about these issues.
And, you know, Trump, man, this is must-see TV, man.
You know, there's Africa, there's Haitians.
Haitians, shout out to all the Haitians in Miami.
I mean, it's so disrespectful.
These are the times we read about before we was alive,
you know, the Martin Luther King days and all that.
And it's weird because you got the jacket that got Colin Kaepernick there,
but you damn right.
Damn right.
That's the new American hero.
All right, now let's get into a fat Joe and Dre mini mix.
Let's play that new song as well.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
We have Joey, Crack, and Dre from Kool and Dre in the building.
Charlamagne?
How frustrating has the situation in Puerto Rico been for you, though?
Well, for me, I'm not going to act like, you know what I mean? I live in Puerto building. Charlamagne? How frustrating has the situation in Puerto Rico been for you, though?
Well, for me, I'm not going to act like,
you know what I mean?
I live in Puerto Rico.
I live in Miami,
but it hurt me to see my people.
I didn't know what to do.
I'm sitting on the couch.
You know what I'm saying?
And what's crazy is my wife,
she's a slight hater.
So, you know, I'm always... Nah, I'm telling you,
I'm always giving...
Like, I always try to do and give back charity to the people.
And she'd be like, yo, B, you're doing a little bit too much.
She want to know where it's going.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She want to know where it's going.
So I'm sitting on the couch and we watching all this.
And she said, yo, you better go allow for your people, boy.
And I was like, she was like, nah, go hard.
And I was like, all right, that's all I need.
Hard to throw the battery in the back. And I was like, all right, that's all I need. Hard to throw the battery in the back.
And I was like, yo, let's get it done.
I believe this relief effort we did for Puerto Rico
really, really laid down a blueprint
and let us know that we could take power.
If we combine together, we could take power
into our own hands and come through something,
God forbid, happens to somewhere else
that we connected to.
You know what I'm saying?
We show up. We do the same thing.
Let's go. Like what y'all did.
Y'all got in my pocket.
Y'all got in my pocket.
We appreciate that too.
I got a phone call. Joe,
how much you donating?
We send watering cans of food to Puerto Rico.
Put Dre on the list for next year.
Oh, man.
Oh, by the way, we are gearing up for this year, too, by the way.
Is it worth putting out albums nowadays?
Or is the single game better?
Yeah, you know, we put out, the single game is way better.
But we put out a body of work every time.
You know, we not, I think about the future.
I think about 30 years from now.
I think about 40 years from now when people come back and they
look at a body of work. And right about now,
if I go on this run that I'm about to
go on right now, Fad, you're
one of the greatest of all time, hands down.
You can't even talk about this. When people talk about the
greatest of all time, it's other factors that go into it.
They don't just mention Jay's lyrics. I think it's the same
for you. Look at all the people
you put on. That's real. Yeah, we did
everything from street basketball. You know,
my record as a coach is 99-1
at the Rucka out there. Who's the one
that lost? It was the one game you lost. We beat them the next year.
Don't worry about them, guys. We don't even know.
We don't see them, guys.
And they jerked us if you ask me.
I would have loved to see, and this is going back, I'd have loved
to see that game. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. I'd have loved to see that game.
I'd have loved to see it, too. I mean, we were stacked up, too.
I mean, you know,
I had A.I.
chilling in the hotel.
I had Mike Bibby.
This one,
they was in the Olympics.
Man, I had so many guys
waiting,
so I had two tiers.
So,
as soon as the first quarter
was going to go through
and it was almost done,
we was going to walk
in that park with A.I.
and all of them.
And we already had
Marbury,
whoever you named, Carmelo, had Marbury, whoever you named,
Carmelo, Zach Randolph,
whoever you named. I started in five
with all stars,
but I had another five all
stars waiting down at the
Plaza on 57th Street
that I was just going to be like,
Park was going to go crazy after
the first quarter. But if they had LeBron,
he did. And Shaq.
And Shaq. He said Shaq.
And Shaq.
Shaq was really the problem.
We know LeBron is.
Damn, man.
If you had stepped on that court, I would have broke your leg.
You would have played against.
Why you tell Shaq that?
That was Shaq, man.
That was like almost a guaranteed win.
He said, no.
He said, if you had stepped on that court, I would have broke your leg.
When did you say that? When did you tell him that? I had to tell him that, man. Because, you no, he said, if you'd have stepped on that court, I would have broke your leg. When did you say that?
When did you tell him that?
I had to tell him that, man, because, you know, it was like Shaq,
he hurt my feelings, man.
Stay out of this, Shaq.
Can't nobody beat Shaq.
That's not even fair, man.
That's not fair.
That whole situation is interesting because everybody always talks about
how you and Jay have beef, but y'all couldn't have had that much beef
if y'all was going to play a game against each other.
Yeah.
I mean, I think it was more
of a, I don't even know,
man. That's not even
relevant, man. You know what I'm saying? We try
to put a game out there for the people. Shout out
Greg Marris. Rest in peace,
man. Everybody up there at the EBC,
man. They do so much
to keep the kids out the streets,
man, and summertime. You know, people
killing each other. They banging on wax, banging on street, and the cold is zero degrees.
Man, the temperature in New York is bad.
So when you got them out there in the summer where they really get killed
and you give them a place to come and be happy and enjoy themselves
and watch some basketball, that's major.
I'm not a native New Yorker, so why didn't that game happen again?
Blackout.
Blackout.
It's a movie about it.
Go look up Blackout.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's crazy.
I remember that.
Look at that.
They tried to get lights in front of 40-40.
It was like, let's play in front of 40-40.
They tried everything to get that game on, but it couldn't happen.
No, I feel like the white man did that.
Lights wouldn't just automatically go out all of a sudden.
That's random as hell.
He's just a white man.
That was random as hell.
Trump wasn't around then, man.
Why don't you think New York is like that anymore?
Growing up in New York, it was fun.
It was a lot to do, whether it was Grant's Tomb or the Rucka.
It was so much going on.
Because they kill people.
Because they kill people.
That's your answer.
So when you have the ASAP yams and memory party,
and it's the biggest riot you've ever seen in your life,
if we turned around, people ask me all the time,
why you don't go to the Bronx and do Fat Joe Day?
Because they kill people.
They'll be shooting little girls by the pitawwa machine and all that.
Unfortunately, it's bad people who want to come out and do that type of thing.
I never understood that, man, when we celebrate peace.
I think it was Miami.
I don't want to quote it like that.
Shout out to Miami.
But I remember it was Martin Luther King Day,
and they did like something in a picnic,
and they were shooting people out there.
Like, come on, Martin Luther King Day?
You think it's a youth thing?
Because I think about when y'all did the Chris Lighty performance,
you and 50 pieced it up.
Y'all wouldn't even think about it.
It is a youth thing.
We were youth, too, but we wasn't crazy enough.
It's a different time, man.
It's just a different time.
You just got to think things through.
You know what I'm saying?
If you're doing something celebrating somebody's death,
you're doing something, you know,
somebody Martin Luther King Day, bro,
the most nonviolent American in the world.
You know what I'm saying?
They put dogs on Martin Luther King. They put him in jail a'm saying? They put dogs on Martin Luther King.
They put him in jail a hundred times.
They wind up killing Martin Luther King.
They're giving him a holiday.
It's crazy, B.
This guy was always preaching nonviolence.
And you go on a Martin Luther King day
and shoot some people?
Come on.
It's so good to see your music being so inspirational.
I saw you posted in church.
They do it all the way up in church.
It has to feel good that you make songs
that people look at as like anthems for being up.
Man, it's an honor, man.
We make music for everybody.
You got to understand, music is a universal language.
You know, we go to places we never thought we could go.
Djibouti, Africa.
You ever heard of Djibouti, Africa?
No.
Djibouti, Africa.
Okay, Djibouti, Africa.
Sounds intriguing.
That's not like a place Diddy would say he's been on drink dances.
Jesus Christ.
Did Daddy get that from Djibouti Africa?
Uh-oh.
Come on, fast.
That's a fully.
Nah, but I'm just saying, man, you man, my music got me all across the world.
I never believed I would be there.
And it affects people in different ways, man.
And that's what we do.
We try to inspire.
Our next single after this, Pick It Up,
was Pick It Up going number one.
But our next single,
boy, it's going to inspire the men
like you've never inspired men before in your life.
So is this the Melanin Magic record for the guys?
Yeah, it is.
It's called Melanin Magic.
Oh, no.
I'm for a fact, man.
I mean, y'all going to be a serious one, guys.
All right.
You know what I mean?
When's it coming?
When's the album drop?
Well, the album don't drop until maybe like spring.
Okay, okay.
We're going to let it pick it up, do what it do.
You know what I'm saying?
Hopefully your wife starts talking to you again spring. Okay, okay. We're going to let it pick it up, do what it do. You know what I'm saying? Hopefully your wife
starts talking to you again soon.
It's hard out here, man.
It's hard.
I'm telling you,
it's hard out here, man.
You know what I mean?
But you know,
it is what it is, man.
I love making
a certain kind of music.
There's nothing
I can do about it, you know?
Well, we thank y'all
for joining us.
Nah, I appreciate it.
Fat Joe Dre
is the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Yes, crew.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Today is
Take Your Friend to Work Day.
Yes, we have
my friend Janae from Bossip
for Take Your Friend to Work Day.
Hey, Janae.
What up, Janae?
Drop on a clues bomb
for Janae, damn it.
Who just made that holiday
of Take Your Friend to Work Day?
Yes, Take Your Friend to Work Day. Yes, Take Your Friend to Work Day.
Why not?
Where do all these other holidays come from?
I don't know.
People make them up.
They're all more relevant than J'Holiday.
I knew you were going to say that.
Let's get the rumors.
Let's talk.
Monique!
This is the Rumor Report
with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On The Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Well, speaking of Donkey of the Day, apparently Monique heard Charlamagne's Donkey of the Day.
And she had some things to say on her live stream.
Here's what she had to say about Charlamagne.
When it comes to Brother Charlamagne, the God, when I heard him call me Donkey of the Day, see, this is the same brother that got on the elevator at the Monique show and was very respectful.
As we were joking,
I said, baby, give your mama a hug from me because she
raised you right. And that baby
looked at me and said, yes, ma'am.
And we had a beautiful
moment. So to hear this
young man call me a donkey
of the day, I would say to him,
why do you have so much hatred towards
black women? Jesus Christ.
Oh my goodness.
Gracious, Charlamagne. That story Monique is telling
is from 2007. So you were at a Monique show.
I was not at Monique show.
Can I, can I, I was not at a Monique show, okay?
It's funny that she remembers that, though.
That's when I was working at WBLS in New York
with Wendy Williams, and it was her and another sister on the elevator,
but I just don't understand how you can say I was
nice and respectful and give regards
to my mom.
But then the sharp turn is I hate black women.
You don't like black women.
Just because I gave you donkey of the day.
How does that work?
All right.
I gave Jay Holiday donkey of the day yesterday.
Let's finish the rumor.
Does that mean I hate irrelevant R&B singers?
You hate black men too.
All right.
Well, well, well, well, well.
Here is Monique defending her relevance because she says that she has gotten so many nominations and she is the most.
What is it?
What was the title she gave herself?
Decorated, decorated comedian alive.
And when you have people that say about our relevance.
See, there was a woman named Moms Mabley.
I don't want you all to forget her.
They spoke about her brilliance. They spoke about all that she
gave to the world of
comedy and to the world at large.
They spoke about this woman, how
she was just a genius. But what they
didn't speak about is she died broke.
Not because she squandered her money.
See, they'll make y'all believe we just
dumbness. And these
don't know what they're doing with their money.
No, it's just that we don't get the monies we do.
Man, this don't have nothing to do with brilliance.
It's got to do with business.
I don't think Amy Schumer is brilliant at all.
I don't think she's funny at all.
But to sit here and act like she didn't have a 50-city world tour that was selling out
and to act like she didn't have a $141 million movie and train wreck.
Come on, bro.
And Kevin Hart's doing excellent.
And he's getting the money that he's due. Come on, man. This is business.. And Kevin Hart's doing excellent and he's getting the money that he's
due. Come on, man. This is business.
They're going to do it brilliantly. I'm not going to lie.
They definitely undercut Monique, but you have to negotiate.
Tiffany Haddish is doing really well.
You have to negotiate. Right now, she's getting all kinds of
great offers that she deserves.
Alright, well, she also had something to say about
the other brother and sister on this show.
When you hear my sister saying,
are you out your f***ing mind?
She's only worth $2 million.
And that's our sister from the Breakfast Club.
I'm not sure of her name,
so I don't want to say it
because I don't want to say it wrong,
but she's on with Charlemagne and the other brother.
Charlemagne and the Dominican brother.
She didn't say Dominican brother.
She said Charlemagne and the other brother.
Yes, she did.
She didn't say Dominican brother.
Now, let's flash back to what was actually said
on the Breakfast Club
by this sister and the other brother.
And I do feel like if you think it's low, then somebody has to negotiate or you can always turn the deal down.
And I do feel like $500,000 was a low number.
How much would you have given Monique in 2018?
I mean, in comparison, maybe I would have given her $2 million.
All right.
I'm not a Netflix executive, but I don't think I said it As harshly as she said I said it
Listen I have nothing but love and respect for Monique
But when it comes to this Netflix situation
My whole opinion on that situation
Is based strictly on analytics
Nothing more nothing less
If you can't understand why Amy Schumer
Got more money than Monique
Then you simply don't understand business
And just one last thing
You don't have to take the deal
Not at all
If you have people that are also going to be
Doing a bidding war for you You can go to HBO There a bidding war for you, you can go to HBO.
There's all kinds of other outlets.
You can go to Showtime.
You can do a special on Amazon.
I actually said that during Donkey today.
I'm like, I never told her to take the $500,000.
You feel like you're worth more than you go somewhere else and get more.
But if everybody else is giving you around that same price point, are you going to scream race and gender bias everywhere you go?
That's all I'm saying.
Yeah, I think the main thing is, you know,
put in the work of doing a whole entire nationwide tour,
get it up, produce it yourself maybe,
and sell it, and you'll get more money if you do that.
If you're ready packaged and ready to go.
I want her to get what she's worth.
Jo Koy did that.
Absolutely, but she has to negotiate it,
and if they are low-bidding, low-blowing,
or low-bidding her, I should say,
you know, go somewhere else.
How about don't ask the white man for nothing?
How about set up a 10, 15-city theater tour and sell it out?
And then, you know, your value goes up in the eyes of those people like that.
Absolutely right.
And if not, who cares?
You still got the coin.
Right.
From the arena tour, the theater tour, whatever you want to do.
You know what?
Start your own digital streaming service and produce it yourself and put it on there
and get millions.
God damn.
Yeah, you're right, but Jesus Christ.
It's a lot of work.
You streaming now?
Damn me.
All right.
Jesus Christ.
All right.
This brother and sister will support it.
There you go.
All right.
I'm Angela Yee.
That's your rumor report.
Oh, boy.
All right.
What a morning.
Chalabay!
Yes.
Who you giving that down? I'm still
trying to understand the fact how I go from having manners
and being so respectful to somebody, but
then the sharp turn is I hate black women.
But whatever. Stephen Ramirez
needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him.
Ramirez. Is he Puerto Rican or Dominican?
Leave me alone.
Leave me alone.
He's definitely not a black woman.
You know I don't know.
Girl, you know it's true.
All right, Donkey of the Day is up next.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Come on in.
You get donkey of the day.
Yeah, you dumb ass.
You get donkey of the day.
Yeah, you dumb ass.
You are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day, huh?
I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
They want this man to throw them blows, man.
They wait for Charlamagne to tap these gloves.
Let's go.
You have to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day.
They chose you.
This is a breakfast club, bitchy.
Who's Donkey of the Day today?
Yes, Donkey of the Day for Thursday, January 25th goes to a 33-year-old man named Stephen Ramirez.
Now, Stephen Ramirez is a former Burger King employee.
Do not judge this man for being 33 years old and working at Burger King, okay?
That man is out here making an honest living, and that's all that matters.
All right?
I respect a hardworking individual, and this man, Stephen Ramirez, is a hard worker.
In fact, he worked so hard at Burger King that he wanted more hours.
Now, do you know how dedicated you have to be to a job to want more hours in January?
Okay, people want more hours around the holidays.
Kids want more hours around primetime or even the summer
because they need money to go back to school before a 33-year-old man
to want more hours in January?
God bless his heart.
Okay, well, apparently Steve, oh, Sean Ramirez.
No, Stephen Ramirez.
Yeah, Stephen Ramirez got denied.
What's his name?
Stephen.
Okay. Stephen Ramirez got denied, Stephen Ramirez. Yeah, Stephen Ramirez got denied. Wait, what's his name? Stephen. Okay.
Stephen Ramirez got denied when he asked for more hours,
so he decided to show up to work and ask for more hours in an aggressive manner.
Let's go to KTNV 13 Action News for the report, please.
Police have arrested this man, Stephen Ramirez,
for allegedly threatening to shoot up a Burger King.
According to investigators, Stephen Ramirez walked into this Burger King demanding more work hours. Police saying he threatened the manager, even saying he would shoot up the place.
Immediately, that manager called 911. Ramirez was later found carrying a semi-automatic gun,
30-round magazine, more than a dozen bullets, and a machete. This is a teachable moment,
ladies and gentlemen. This is not the way to ask for anything ever, okay, especially more hours.
If Monique is not running up in Netflix with a pistol and a machete,
then you, Stephen Ramirez, can't run up in Burger King with a pistol and a machete, okay?
My brother, it's not that serious.
Now, I know you're hearing this story and you're thinking, wow, what a donkey.
But not only is Stephen Ramirez getting donkier today from running up in Burger King with a pistol and a machete
and demanding more hours, he's getting donkier today
for thinking this was going to work.
What made you think you was going to run up on your manager,
pull a gun on him, demand
more hours, and he was just going to say, you know what?
You're right. And just put you on fries the
next day like it's all good. Okay?
Stephen Ramirez, you took the Burger King slogan
have it your way way too
serious. Let's read the slogan. Why don't we?
The Burger King slogan reads,
you have the right to have what you want
exactly when you want it.
That doesn't mean I was Burger King employees.
Let me continue.
Because on the menu of life,
you are today's special and tomorrow's
and the day after that.
And while you get to drift,
yes, that's right.
We may be the king,
but you, my friend,
are the almighty ruler.
See, clearly, Stephen Ramirez
loved working at Burger King too much.
And clearly he took that have it your way motto to heart.
And now he's being held at Clark County Detention Center on charges of carrying a concealed weapon without permit,
carrying a concealed machete with a permit, and owning possessing a gun by a prohibited person.
This is what happens when you attempt to have it your way.
And that way is the ski mask way.
Have it your way.
Have it your way.
Have it your way at Burger King.
Oh, good.
Give Stephen Ramirez the biggest hee-haw, please.
Sheesh.
I just don't understand why he thought that was going to work.
I don't either. That's not going to work. I don't either.
That's not going to work.
You're not going to pull a gun on somebody and they're going to say, you know what, cool.
You get 10 more hours this week.
See you tomorrow.
Nope, not going to happen.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey today.

That was Notorious B.I.G.
Morning, everybody.
It's D.J.
N.V.
Angela Yee.
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now it's time for Ask Yee.
805-851-051.
We have Day Day on the line.
Day Day, what's your question for Yee?
Listen, I was in a four-plus relationship.
We broke up.
After two weeks, she called me talking about it's over.
So I'm like, what?
So I'm like, all right.
So now, mind you, I take care of her daughter.
So, like, I still want to take care of her daughter at the end of the day,
but she's giving me a hard time seeing her.
Like, I don't care who she's with, but my whole thing is she call me if it's convenient for her.
Like, I'll be texting her, like, let me talk to my daughter.
She won't text me back until she's outside going to the store or either when she's taking her son to the doctor.
So I'm like, why you not let me talk to my daughter?
She always got an excuse for everything.
Like, at the end of the day, like, I've been through a lot with this girl like my family take care of
little baby I do like I love the little girl but she's giving me a hard time and today's my birthday
so she didn't call me yesterday she didn't call me yesterday but she's gonna call me early this
morning like five o'clock text me asking me for money on my birthday today now a couple of things
here Day Day-Day.
Let me ask you.
So, this is both of your child?
This is your son also, or it's her son, but you helped raise her son?
Oh, she got a son and a daughter.
But I'm more in the daughter's life because the way how the son acts.
I don't like disrespectful kids.
So, I kind of fall back from that.
You know what I'm saying?
So, I started doing more for the little girl because I was doing a lot for him, too. But then I seen how he acts. So, I'm like, you know what I'm saying? So I started doing more for the little girl because I was doing a lot for him too.
But then I seen how he acts, so I'm like,
you know what, I'm just gonna take care of the daughter
because she always tell me, like,
don't worry about him, just do for the little girl.
Okay, so, but these are her kids,
they're not your kids, legally.
Yeah, right. I got a relationship with the little girl,
like, the little girl only know me, like,
I take care of her, like, I'm in her life.
You know what, it's really hard, and I've been in situations
where I've dated somebody for years
who had a kid, and when you break
up, you kind of break up with the whole
family if you're not tied to them in
that way, unless that was your child.
Sometimes it's really up to her what she decides.
If she decides, look, you can't
be around my child, there's nothing you
can really do about that. So she's not
telling me I can't be around a little girl.
She's calling me like,
she's calling me
when she want to call me
to speak to the little girl.
Jenny, it sounds to me
like she's moved on.
She's with somebody else.
You might need to just
make this a cleaner break
than you have
because it's too messy
and it feels like
it's not going to get better.
It'll only get worse.
So don't take care
of the little baby.
So just forget about that.
I mean, if she's with somebody else and she's kind of letting you do things in her own time,
it's a difficult decision to make.
But I do feel that the easiest thing to do when you break up with somebody is, yes,
like there's no reason for you to be in that child's life anymore.
Now, if that child was older and had a cell phone and you guys were in communication now and then
and you checked in and, you know, maybe sent a card or a present on birthdays, I think that's fine.
But I don't think it should be a constant thing because that's probably even harder for a kid and more confusing.
Because at the end of the day, the only one who gets hurt is the little baby because the little baby loves me.
But, like, it's like when she do call me and say I'm at work and I can't talk to her,
she'll tell the baby, your daddy don't love you or your daddy busy.
Like, she do stupid stuff like that.
Who does that?
Right.
I love the baby.
The baby know that.
But she be doing stuff like that.
It seems like she's manipulating the situation to try to keep you around
enough to get things out of you and using that child as a way to manipulate it.
And I think it's really important for you now to just cut ties.
Because if y'all are not going to be together,
then there's no reason for this to continue on the way that it is.
It doesn't seem like it'll be beneficial in the end to anyone.
You're right.
All right.
Thank you, B.
All right.
No problem, Dada.
Good luck to you, man.
Check back in with us.
But I think it's important for you to just get on with your own life
and let that family get on with their life.
Let her get on with her life and not
keep using you. You're right. And today's
my B-day. Well, happy birthday.
Capricorn's in the house because I'm a Capricorn
also. You already know. You know how we do.
We're very practical. You already know.
It gives Charlamagne
the hee-haw from the other day.
That's how...
It's your birthday. She want to give you the hee-haw.
What up, Charlamagne?
What's up, baby?
All right, mama.
What's up?
ASCII, 800-585-1051.
If you got a question for Yee, call her now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time for Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
Yeah, what's up?
What's up, Envy?
My father, Jay.
Jay, what's up, man? What's your question for Yee, bro?
Yeah, I'm in kind of a tight situation.
All right, so basically, I got caught cheating or whatever on my fiance.
Congratulations.
And the thing about it is, so the side chick boyfriend, she reaches out, he reaches out
to my girl, and I guess I don't want to know if he's, like, telling on me or something
like that.
I mean, who does that?
The side chick's boyfriend does that?
He's hurt. I mean, of course he's telling on me or something like that? I mean, who does that? The side chick's boyfriend does that? He's hurt.
I mean, of course he's hurt, but I mean, I think that's like breaking a real guy code.
Sir, is that your friend or something?
He's cheating with his girl.
I don't even know his dude.
I know his girlfriend.
You know what I'm saying?
We work together.
Well, clearly you know his girlfriend.
You were cheating with her.
You put your penis in his girlfriend.
Sir, your anger is misdirected.
You're mad that you got caught cheating and that the person who you cheated with's boyfriend told.
How are you mad about that?
Your anger is very misdirected.
You know who you should be mad at?
Who I should be mad at?
Yourself.
Well, you know, I am mad at myself.
I'm disappointed in myself.
I mean, the thing about it is what I don't understand is me and my girl, we talked about it, and we were trying to get through it.
But somehow or another, this dude out the blue, the cheating gods,
come out and call my girl and try to confirm, yeah, he's been texting her.
He's been asking for hugs.
He's been telling her he loves her.
Like, damn, why does that matter to you?
Well, is that factual?
No, it's not factual.
Partial factual.
I may have been.
The thing with me was it wasn't like I was really cheating on her. Sounds like cheating
to me, sir. I feel like it wasn't cheating.
I was in too deep before I could have backed out of
I don't understand how
that's not cheating. So you're still
even not telling us that you
slept with somebody else, you
tasted her, you did all this stuff, but you
don't think you cheated? No.
Well,
there's your problem there. That's why your girl can't move forward with you because you don't think you cheated? No. Well, there's your problem there.
That's why your girl can't move forward with you
because you won't even admit that you did anything wrong.
Let me ask you this, though.
Let me ask you this.
Should you admit?
Is it almost...
She already knows.
She knows, man.
The dude already told her.
You got caught.
Just let it all go, man.
Just be honest, man.
You still holding on to the fact that you didn't cheat,
but the fact is you did cheat.
You know how disrespectful it is when we caught you know you did something and
you trying to deny it if you ain't catch me butt naked in the poom poom it never happened the man
called him he lying don't believe this scorned ass negro calling you who is this guy trying to
ruin our relationship he's a size chicks man okay so you have a side chick, but you're not cheating.
So what is the definition of side chick?
A chick that's standing by your side.
You better not listen to Charlamagne.
Actually, my fiance said, right, nice to meet you.
Can I talk to her?
Oh, sure.
Hello.
Hey, what's up, hon?
Hey, how you doing?
So let me ask you this.
Did your fiance cheat on you because he says he didn't?
Yeah, he cheated.
And he got caught.
And he don't know how to cheat.
So I found messages in his phone.
But the girl was acting like she was a boy.
But it was really a girl the whole time.
Oh, he gay.
No, no, no.
He not gay.
It was a girl.
But what she was doing that told me also I wouldn't know it was a girl calling his phone.
So she was with it.
She was like, if she was a n***a.
Did you see the girl? Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm sure. I didn't call her.
So you know he cheated but he still won't tell you that he cheated.
Right.
What do you need to happen for you to even consider
continuing with this relationship?
I need him to be completely honest
but right now
I can't see it right now.
Because he's such a liar.
It's so disrespectful.
Now, you got caught doing something.
You can't even have any remorse if you're not even going to admit you did anything wrong.
Exactly.
And then he trying to tell y'all, but he still haven't admitted that he had sex with the
girl.
Put him back on the phone for a second.
Listen, baby, I want you to teach him how to cheat.
Go get you some penis. Tell him five years later. Yeah. Now, let phone for a second. Listen, baby, I want you to teach him how to cheat. Go get you some penis.
Tell him five years later.
Yeah, all right.
Now, let me ask you this.
What if she did that to you?
Absolutely.
I'd be heartbroken.
So you don't think that she's heartbroken right now?
Yeah, I understand she's heartbroken.
I apologize.
When are you going to stop lying, though,
so that you can show that you're on the path to becoming a better person?
You got to be honest, bro.
It's not going to work because she doesn't believe you.
So you got to be honest.
How can I be with somebody that's lying to me, to my face?
You don't even have my back.
Be honest.
All right.
All right.
I appreciate it.
Let me hear you tell her.
No, I wouldn't tell her right now just in case it don't go right.
Hey, boy.
Hey.
Appreciate it, fella.
Hey, you know better than that.
You know better than that.
Can you put it back on the phone one more time?
See how he playing?
Now, listen.
Now, if y'all get off the phone and he decides to have a heart-to-heart
and he tells you the truth and tells you what really happened,
will you give him another chance?
No, she don't know what she's going to do yet.
Stop.
She can't answer that.
Yee, stop.
I can't answer that.
She can't answer that.
Listen, if Beyonce can forgive Jay-Z, then you can forgive Jerome.
Well, if Jay-Z can admit he did something wrong.
I mean, Beyonce and Jay-Z is on a whole nother level. We know that,
but I ain't with the damn thing. Don't listen
to that. Listen, he has to have
an honest conversation, and you can't even consider
moving forward until that happens.
Until he's ready to come clean and be honest with you,
all bets are off. He sounds like a good guy
with a great job and a good credit score.
He sounds like a damn liar, though. And he seems like
he loves you and honest. So you should
just talk to him, have a nice conversation.
But tell him he's just got to at least come clean and be honest,
and you can't even determine anything.
Until that happens, you don't even think you did anything wrong.
Yeah, that's what's going to happen.
I'm really good on him right now, though.
That's how my mind's thinking right now.
He's scared to lose you.
He can't be honest, and I'm scared that I'm going to be just falling in
something that is going to be a continuous pattering.
Pattering.
He might end up doing this again.
Why do I got to tell you what you already know?
All right, you guys, this is Asky.
Can y'all shut up?
All I need you to do is just keep us updated.
I want to hear how this all turns out.
I'm very interested, so we're going to revisit this.
But you guys have this conversation right now, and Tom, stop the BS lying.
I will.
All right. Thank you. Good luck, Mama. Aw, man. And Tom, stop the BS lying. I will. All right.
Thank you.
Good luck, mama.
Aw, man.
Listen, guys, I love love.
Telling the truth ain't going to change nothing.
I ain't a liar.
If she clearly don't want to leave, she with him right now.
That's what I was saying.
She know everything that's going on, but she with him right now.
I know you did it.
Just admit it.
But there's still doubt.
That's why.
But he should just man up.
There's no doubt.
She saw the messages.
Tell the truth.
She saw the messages.
All right.
Ask Yee. We got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, let's talk about Drake.
He's breaking records, of course.
You know how Drake is. We'll tell you what record he just broke.
Also, Lil Wayne has new music out.
Alright, we'll get into all that when we come back. It's the
Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's
DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good
morning. Good morning. Let's get to
the rumors. Let's talk Erykah Badu.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report.
Rumor Report.
This is The Rumor Report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
All right.
Well, Erykah Badu recently did an interview with Vulture, and she talks about a lot of
things.
And one question that the interviewer asked her was her opinion on this larger discussion happening now.
David Marchese, that was the interviewer's name.
About whether we can separate the art from the artist.
And he asked in particular about XXXTentacion or Fela
or Louis C.K. or Bill Cosby or whomever.
And Erykah Badu answered, she said,
I don't want to get scared into not thinking for myself.
I weigh everything.
Even what you just asked me,
I would have to really think about it and know the facts
in each of those situations before I
make a judgment because I love Bill Cosby
and I love what he's done for the world, but if he's sick,
why would I be angry with him?
The people who got hurt, I feel so bad
for them. I want them to feel better too, but
sick people do evil things. Hurt people
hurt people. I know I could be crucified
for saying that because I'm supposed to be on the
purple team or the green team. I'm not trying to rebel against what everybody's saying, but maybe
I want to measure it. Somebody will call me and ask me to come to a march because such and such
got shot. In that situation, I want to know what really happened. I'm not going to jump up and go
march just because I'm green and the person who got shot is green. The rush to get mad doesn't
make sense to me. And then she goes on to discuss a lot of other things, including the interviewer says that that's not something most of us are good at as far as seeing all sides simultaneously.
And she responds, we're not.
And I'm OK with that.
I'm also OK with anything I have to say about Louis Farrakhan.
I'm not an anti-Semitic person.
I don't even know what anti-Semitic was before I was called it.
I'm a humanist.
I see good in everybody. I saw something
good in Hitler. He says, come
again. And she said, yeah, I did. Hitler was a wonderful
painter. And he responds, no, he
wasn't. And even if he was, what would
his skill as a painter have to do with good in him?
And then he said, okay, he was a, she
says, okay, he was a terrible painter. But she goes
on to discuss these things.
You have to read the whole article.
You have to read the article.
First of all, that Erykah Badu interview,
and I think his name is David Marchese or David Marches.
I thought it was amazing, and I can't believe there's no video for that.
She is brave to do a print interview in 2018.
But I think y'all took a lot of that Erykah Badu interview
out of context, and I learned a lot from that interview.
And if you actually read the interview,
you would understand the context of the things that she's saying.
I actually want Erykah to write a book.
Her ideas of thinking for herself, not participating in group think, it was some jewels in there.
Now, Erica, after this, has gotten a lot of backlash on social media, a lot of articles,
and it's a lot of people just really kind of taking a snippet from the interview and
not the whole thing in context of what she was saying.
In other words, what everybody is taking is, I see good in everybody, I saw something good
in Hitler.
Hitler was a wonderful painter. But that's not really the gist of what it was that she was saying. In other words, what everybody is taking is I see good in everybody. I saw something good in Hitler. Hitler was a wonderful painter.
But that's not really
the gist of what it was
that she was saying.
Not even close.
Right.
And so she was on Twitter
and she said,
say what you must.
Dialogue is cool.
I invite it,
but please do me a favor
if you can.
Black and Jewish Twitter
just don't use the word
problematic anymore.
Y'all using that too much.
Oh, and read the article.
Oh, I've been muted
that off my timeline.
You ain't got to worry about that word problematic.
I hate it.
Okay.
Can't stand it.
Problematic and woke.
I hate those two words.
She is using her own brain, as she said on Twitter.
Some of y'all are so woke, y'all need some sleep because you're tired.
When you're tired, you don't think it's great.
But yes, I encourage everybody to go ahead and read that article.
It's interesting.
And it's okay to debate with people and not agree with what they have to say.
But when you just take a little clickbait line, it makes it a lot more difficult.
Yeah, because there's a lot of jewels in that interview that y'all missing, man.
All right, Drake.
His God's Plan song has broken U.S. Spotify and global Apple Music records.
So congratulations to Drake for God's Plan doing all of that.
It was time.
We needed some Drake music.
He broke the global record for the first day streams on Apple.
So once again, Drake is out here, puts out a song,
and breaks all kinds of records.
Now Lil Wayne has released a new song from his mixtape,
from his new Dedication 6 Reloaded mixtape that's coming,
and he has Jewel Santana on it.
It's a sped-up version of Hail Mary, Tupac, and check it out.
It's called Bloody Mary.
Suicide, this is suicide. Tell them seeking you are fine, cause I'ma lose my mind. antenna on it. It's a sped up version of Hail Mary, to fly. The rules denied. All the toughest goons is mine.
That's toontch and slimes.
They kill you and go do the time.
We unify.
I like Lil Wayne like that.
Sounds good.
I like Eazy like that. And you guys like Family Feud too, right?
Yeah.
Well, no, I like Drake's part in Family Feud.
I liked Family Feud.
I really like God's Plan though.
God's Plan is really dope.
I've been working out to that record.
Wayne sounds dope there.
I'm going to go check that Wayne record out.
No order tools.
No sample I just heard.
And some new music also.
Snoop Dogg has a new album coming out, and he's doing Snoop Dogg Presents the Bible of Love.
So it's going to be a gospel album, and he's going to be performing at the 19th Annual Super Bowl Gospel Celebration.
That's going to be happening.
Which is also going to be hosted by Yvonne Orji from Insecure
and Pastor John Gray. They're hosting that event.
That's where Russell Wilson is going to get the
first ever Faith in Action Award.
And Larry Fitzgerald is going to
get the Lifetime of Inspiration Award.
So yes, Snoop is doing the Bible
of Love. I'm going to close bombs with Snoop Dogg.
There is nothing Snoop Dogg
can't do. Snoop Dogg rap name should have been
Chameleon Air because he can blend in anywhere.
He did country.
He did Jamaican reggae.
West Indian music.
He did regular music.
And now gospel.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee.
And that's your rumor report.
We covered a lot today.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
And shout out to Revolt.
Revolt will see you guys tomorrow.
Everybody else, you know, today is Alicia Keys' birthday.
So let's start the mix off with some Alicia Keys.
Let me know your favorite Alicia Keys joints.
We'll get on some Alicia Keys music.
So happy birthday to Alicia Keys and shout to the homie Swizzy, all right?
Let's get the mix popping at DJ Envy.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
