Man, I just got a letter. I was checking all the mail that we get up here at the station. And this woman just hit me. Her name is Lillian from Chicago. And she said it's her first time writing a fan letter. She's 76 years old. Oh, wow. Yeah.

Did she type it? No, she wrote it. And she says she loves hearing that I love books and that I have them in every room of my house, and she does also. 76 years old and she ain't never wrote a fan letter? Mm-hmm. Come on, stop. She said, hi, Angela, this is a fan letter, my first.

I listen from Chicago. She wrote Don Cornelius that soul train before. Come on, stop. God bless today, brother Don. That was really nice. Thank you, Lillian. I appreciate it. Salute to you, Lillian.

Salute to you, Lillian. What's happening? All right. I feel blessed, black, and highly favored this morning. You should every morning. God is good. I do. I always feel that way. You said this morning.

Like, this is the only morning you feel that way. I'm just expressing it. That's all you got to give. You know, gratitude should always be your attitude. Thank God for another day of life. What's happening? That's right. Yeah, I was out to country yesterday when I arrived.

We arrived last night around midnight. It was the weirdest thing. The plane landed, and it was like, hey, so there's nobody working at the airport right now to guide us in. So we just got to wait until we get some people to come guide us in. I was like, what the hell is going on in these airports? Man, nobody cares. Nobody working no more? Nobody cares.

No staff? It's YOLO everywhere, bro. I see. People are like, it really might be the end of the world. And some people know, and some people don't. And they're just like, whatever, man. Nobody seems to care about anything. I'm sitting there like, okay.

All right, well, comedian Flame Moreau will be joining us this morning, right? Liggy Flame. Flame will be here this morning, the host of the Laugh and Learn podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network, amongst other things. Mm-hmm. Yeah, he's back on the road. She's back on the road. Flame Moreau is back on the road. She's back on the road. Flame is back on the road.

Flame has a bunch of different pronouns. Okay. He actually has three. He, she, we. Okay. Yes. I'll stick with Flame. I mean, yeah, but it's hard to use in a sentence

when you're just trying to describe somebody. Okay? I'm not going in with you today. It is, though, for Flame. Just because Flame makes it, I'm not going in with you today. It is, though, for Flame. Just because Flame makes it, I'm not going to say Flame makes it complicated, but Flame has three different pronouns. I don't know why I always say she when I talk about Flame.

Really? She doesn't. Right. She doesn't just say she. Flame doesn't. Exactly. Flame doesn't, but I do. I don't know.

It's just, I don't know why. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. What are we talking about this morning? Well, the FDA has granted full approval for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. All right. We'll get into that next.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where are we starting? Well, the FDA has granted full approval for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

Now, Joe Biden is telling everybody that now that you've been waiting for this, you can get vaccinated now. With today's FDA full approval, there's another good reason to get vaccinated. If you go to vaccines.com or text your zip code to 438829, you can find a number of vaccine sites near you just minutes away where you can get your shot without an appointment. So please go today for yourself, for your loved ones, for your neighbors, for your country. Now, does that make people who, you know, said they would wait, does that make them feel comfortable to get the vaccine? What about you, Charlemagne? Does that make you comfortable now?

I've been saying that for weeks. You sit in here with me every morning. I've been telling y'all that for weeks. I don't know if you changed your mind. I mean, if I do that, it'll be my own personal choice or my own personal decision. I don't think it'll be something that I broadcast, but I definitely do believe that, you know,

now that it has full FDA approval, a lot more people will feel comfortable getting the vaccine. I mean, even though people have other questions, they want to know, does the vaccine protect against all these other variants? All these new variants that's coming out. I see Delta, I see Gamda, Lambda, Fraternity. I saw COVID-22 yesterday.

Yeah, something 22B, 22 something. All types of stuff. Well, yes, and emergency use authorization obviously came first because it takes less time than what is required for full approval. But they said the FDA has been working around the clock and conducting their own analysis of the vaccine. In addition to the company's analysis, they did benefit risk assessments, all of that. So it's the same formulation that's in emergency use authorization that's in the fully approved one. And why didn't they fully approve it for kids? Because, I mean, I keep hearing all of these conversations about, you know, the kids are going back to school

and the kids are going to be, you know, big spreaders. Like, why isn't it for kids 12 to 16? Right now it's 16 and over. And the reason why is because they have to continue doing studies. There's a certain amount of people they have to test. And so I think it's like 20,000 or something. So they have to complete those studies before they can approve it for

ages 12 to 16. But it's still available for emergency use. I guess it's hard to test, though, for kids because they haven't tested for kids. Because you've got to test. That's how, I guess, it gets approved from the FDA. But my question is, now that it is approved, does that mean all government offices, you have to have the vaccine?

They can mandate it. Corporations can legally mandate it. So teachers and government employees. But they did say they expect to have the vaccine trial data for kids 5 to 11 by the end of September. And then the company could apply to have its vaccine authorized for those younger ages shortly after.

Yeah, that would definitely would bring a lot of comfort to people. Even though I know a lot of parents who have their kids that are 12 and up vaccinated. I just, that would, that definitely would bring a lot of comfort to people. Even though I know a lot of parents, you know, who have their kids that are 12 and up vaccinated. I just, you know, seeing full FDA approval for the kids would definitely make a lot more people comfortable. Right, and really what it is, is these clinical trials and people

signing up and there's a certain amount of people that have to be part of these trials in order for them to give it full approval. But now I'm just curious how they test kids though, because nobody's going to give up their kid to be like, my kid you know they give you a placebo and then they give somebody the um so you get to see if there's a difference between people who got the placebo and then people who got the vaccination right now nationwide there's five vaccinations that you have to get kids get to go to school so just putting that out there also that you know a

lot of kids we've all had to get vaccinated at some point absolutely nobody's afraid of vaccinations i mean don't get me wrong you do have some anti-vaxxers, you know, a lot of kids, we've all had to get vaccinated at some point. Absolutely. Nobody's afraid of vaccinations. I mean, don't get me wrong, you do have some anti-vaccines, but nobody's afraid of vaccinations. People are just afraid of the newness of this vaccination. Just make sure it's tested. Alright, well that is your Front Page News. Alright, thank you, Miss Yee. Now,

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.

Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's up? Hey, what's up? Get it off your chest.

Yo, I'm tight because I just moved to D.C. I'm from New York, and I just got this job at the Department of Ed. Congratulations. Why are you tight? Thank you. Because they've mandated the vaccine now. And now I'm a resident in Connecticut, and it's on mandate for me in Connecticut. So you got to go get that vaccine.

I don't want to, though. That's the thing. So what you going to do? I don't know. They talk about that if you don't get the vaccine, then you work inside the schools and the Department of Education that they laying you off without pay. What's your hesitations on the vaccine, King? I'm just not comfortable.

I get it. I'm not comfortable with it. It came out too fast. We don't know what it's going to do in five years. Like, I don't know. I really don't understand why that's not enough for people because that word, when somebody says they're not comfortable, that's enough anywhere else. In any other setting.

But when it comes to this, it's like people still are pushy and forceful. If people are not comfortable, they're not comfortable. Alright, brother. Sorry for forcing you to do that. I mean, let's see what happens. Hello, who's this? This is Rodrigo. Hey, Rodrigo. Get it off your chest. Okay, so my son,

he's eight years old. His name's Justice Bryant. His birthday's at the end of the month. He has chronic asthma. And I had took him to the doctor for his asthma and she was pushing the vaccine out on my phone. You can't take it at eight. You gotta be twelve to take the vaccine. Right, but she's like

pressuring it like, well, you know, he can get the flu shot. He can get the vaccine as soon as it becomes available. He has asthma. He should be the first one on the list. And I'm just like, calm down, calm down. See, stuff like that is so confusing. Because I swear you had to be 12 in order to get the vaccine. She said when it becomes available, right?

So in four years? What do you mean? I don't even know if it's available now. Not for eight-year-olds. That's my point. Yeah, she's saying when it's available for younger kids. I don't think it's a good idea. I have not even heard that it's going to be available for eight-year-olds.

All I've heard is 12 and up. Oh, yeah. She's pressure now. I'm in Kentucky, so, you know, I don't know that it's going to be available for age olds. All I've heard is 12 and up. Oh, yes. She's pressure now. I'm in Kentucky, so, you know, I don't know if it's different here. Yeah, I don't understand what she's saying. Like, what is she saying? When it's available, what does that mean? He's only eight.

So what does that mean? That's what I was asking her. And then once we, you know, get to discussion, she's like, well, he can just get the flu shot as well. You know, you want to get him vaccine. And I'm just like, calm down. Yeah, that's wild. Right, and they did say they expect to have vaccine trial data on kids 5 to 11 by the end of September

and then they'll apply for the vaccine for kids younger. Will y'all let y'all 8-year-old get the vaccine? No. I don't know. Even with the health condition, you know, with asthma, he does have, we have been hospitalized, you know, hospitalized about it. Now, when it gets approved for younger kids, then you know, me and my wife will have a conversation, but know, hospitalized. Now, when it gets approved for younger kids,

then, you know, me and my wife will have a conversation. But right now, not now. I think she wasn't saying now. She was saying when it's available. Yeah, when it's approved, I think I will, honestly. When it's approved for who, though? I mean, like, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. But I see she's saying that because your child has asthma,

and I know that people with asthma have suffered a lot from COVID. Yeah, when it gets approved for younger, my 17-year-old and my 19-year-old got the test. Well, he's had it before, and he survived. So I'm just, you know, it's just confusing to me. It's all new, like you said, it's confusing. That's all. It's all new, and

people fear what they don't understand. All of this is new. We don't quite understand it, so there is a fear that people should understand at this point. Well, thank you for calling, mama. Good luck. Thank you so much. 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?

Good morning, it's Jack Jack. What up, Jack Jack? You swear you're one of the Incredibles. And you swear I'm not, but you know I am. But look, y'all, I want to get this off my chest this morning My neighbor has been like Messing with me for the longest And like last week

It finally came to it She puts me in I just had to pull a dustman And walk out like a dog So after that She pulled a gun out on me What? In front of our like

Yes She pulled a gun out In front of our president And everything And so now we gotta have a board meeting today And if I get fined What? In front of our, like, yes. She pulled a gun out in front of our president and everything. And so now we got to have a board meeting today. And if I get fined or have to leave, I'm walking her like a dog on my way out. You better be careful if she got a gun because she might shoot you. Yeah, I don't understand why you so calm about this whole situation.

She pulled a gun on you. She's scary. She's not the type to pull anything. She pulled a gun out on her ex-boyfriend. And they both got bit on it. Like, she She's scary. She's not the type to pull anything. She pulled the gun out on her ex-boyfriend and they both did all the... Like, she's just scary. I'm not... I just want to say, though, watch out for those scary people because they be the ones that do something like, oh,

no. It takes nothing to pull a trigger, but why are you picking her up anyway? Most shootings in the hood happen because of scary people, by the way. First of all, Charlamagne, you're assuming that we're in a hood. We are not. Well, either way. They're having board meetings. Well, either way.

In any community, then. Most shootings happen because somebody is scared. Not because they're just some stone-cold killer. That's very true. But you can't be the type to get bucked and push people

and push your hands on somebody. And then when they defend themselves and you get whooped, then you can be scared. That's a different story. If she put her hands on you. If she put her hands on me. Yep, you could whoop her ass.

If she put her hands on you, like you said, self-defense. I was fearful of her. I had to put the hand of God on her. You're right, but she can also pull her gun after she get that ass cut and shoot you in self-defense. Yeah, she needs to go to the police station right now and file a report and get a restraining order if she pulled a gun on you. We did. I definitely filed a police report. Alright, well be safe, okay? It's not worth

sometimes things spiral even worse out of control. So I just want you to be careful and be safe. Thank you so much. I'll see you after this meeting. Lord have mercy. I'm sending you healing energy. I'm sending both of y'all healing energy. Protective energy, something. Alright, mama. Thank you. Hello, who's this?

Hey, what's up, man? It's Dee Boston from Michigan. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest, man. Hey, man, my issue with this vaccine, what they think about the long-term effects? Like, they don't say what's going to happen two to five to ten years from now. Like, nobody knows.

Well, they don't know. I mean, we're not there yet. Yeah, you can't tell what long-term effects are until... I know, that's why I'm not saying it's what I have. Like, most vaccines, they take 10 to 12 years to prove. Now, they just put it out there. I don't know what they're going to do. I'll tell you something my homegirl Courtney told me

yesterday. She was in the military. I think she just finished, but she said something yesterday. She was like, science is supposed to evolve. You know what I mean? So things that once took 10 years shouldn't take that long anymore in 2021. That sounds like a logical explanation.

I still got my, you know, I'm still reserved a little bit. So I'm going to wait and try to figure it out, see how things go. But that was my issue with it. All right. She actually said the purpose of science and medicine is to be progressive. It shouldn't take 20 years to develop something. Hello, who's this? This is Chris.

Chris, what up? Get it off your chest. I just want to get out of my chest. I'm a father of four. You know, five and a half. I'm going to take my first daughter. And it's just down here in Kentucky, man. The schools are just crazy.

And every day they're getting papers about COVID and, you know, cases coming up. Every single day I get a letter home about my kids, students, and my having COVID or anything like that. Then recently, a kid and a teacher got into a fight. And I guess the teacher told the dude he's going to end up being another dead black dude in the street or something like that. And the dude got into a fight. And all you see is the teacher on top of the little boy, like, just trying to swish him.

I guess I don't know what he was doing, but he ended up grabbing him by his head and hitting him in his face, and it's over. The teacher's still hitting the kid, and I know kids is bad. I get it. Everybody's saying the kid is bad. Nobody should be putting their hands on nobody's kids but the parents. Right. The first thing I did, I went to my oldest. He's 10. I'm like, hey, when you see this video, what's the first thing you would do

if the teacher said that to you? He said, I would have left the class and called you. I said, I'm glad you said it because I don't want you to touch no teacher. I mean, don't be no punk. In these times, you can't be touching these teachers. They still gone, and they ready to hit these teachers. In these times? In no time be touching these teachers. They still gone, and they ready to hit these teachers. In these times? In no time.

In no time, yeah. But I'm saying, if you see this video, this teacher, man, he look like he was ready to, hey, I'm telling you, it wasn't normal. Because back in my time, the kids in the video, they trying to stop it. They was helping the teachers. They like, man, you know, they trying to stop you. In my time, we would have beat the stuff out of them. I promise you. It wouldn't have been stop you. In my time, we would've beat the stuff out of him, I promise you.

It wouldn't have been like that. We was different kids. We would've jumped at people because he was trying to hurt a kid right there in front of everybody. You know what I'm saying? So,

I don't know. I'm pretty sure my message ain't gonna do much, but he's just coming from a father who worked every day and I got four sons. Right.

Put a white in the company. I'm just seeing all the stuff going on in school. I'm only 32, and I'm like, dang, it's just word every day.

I'm just worried what's going on for my present and future. So, I don't know. I just wanted to get out of that check. But thank you for sharing all of that with us and for being a great dad. Absolutely. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way? Man, so a former girlfriend of R. Kelly has testified about alleged abuse.

This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, R. Kelly's trial is continuing in Brooklyn. Now, yesterday, one of his accusers broke down on the stand. She was giving testimony about the abuse that she allegedly endured from him during their five-year relationship. She said he would give her bruises during frequent spankings and even force her to get an abortion back in 2017. She said he had expressed that he still wanted me to keep my body tight and he wanted to have a family after he got rid of the rest of the girls. Now, during their first meeting, she said that he peer pressured her into letting him perform oral sex on her. After that, she was

only 17 at the time, but she told him she was 18. She met up with him at several of his concerts across the country. And then months later, she started to experience severe pain whenever they had sex. She said it got to the point where I could not physically even walk. It turns out that she had contracted vaginal herpes. When she told R. Kelly, she said he was agitated and said that she could have gotten a disease before they met, but she told them she'd only ever been

intimate with him. She said, this man purposely gave me something he knew he had that he could have controlled. She also talked about the strict rules that he had. They had to wear baggy clothes. They had to turn away from men who entered elevators. And they also had to write at least four fake letters every year

that claimed they'd stolen money or had been molested by family members in order to protect him and so he could exploit them. She also claims that she was forced to record demeaning videos of herself as punishment. There was one where she had to smear feces on her face and put it in her mouth. She said after R. Kelly told her she wasn't into it enough and that she would have to redo it, she refused. And she said she was also physically abused on a regular basis.

One time he beat her with his size 12 Air Force One shoe after she lied about texting her high school friend. So this is all yesterday. And she's on the stand as Jane Doe, but she has spoken out against him before. And she said he would leave bruises on her, would make her skin tear at times. So right now, as you know, he's facing a slew of charges, including racketeering based on kidnapping, sexual exploitation of children and forced labor. He's also charged with violations of the Mann Act that prohibits the transport of people across state lines for sex. We'll keep you updated, though.

We're keeping our eye on what's happening with this R. Kelly trial. All right, now, Boosie wants to clarify some comments. He did this on The Breakfast Club regarding Lil Nas X, and Lil Nas X has responded. Here is what he said on The Breakfast Club. What about even saying, like, you would beat his ass? And I saw Lil Nas X responded to that. You think that's too far?

Nah, because I just be feeling like sometimes I gotta speak up because as far as straight people in the world, you don't have an opinion on homosexuality. Everything is harm. I don't know that that's a problem. That ain't true. Yes. Who's the rapper that's been talking about

f***ing women forever? And I feel, you know, they're attacking our children. Why are we acting like rappers haven't been negative influences for years so how is he the person that you decide to point at and say oh you're ruining it for the kids I really get offended when it was like he was saying that he would go up there and perform naked in front all the people as well tears wow that that came

from this show and that audio sounds so disgusting. That is wild, because it came from here. Good observation. I was wondering, too. But it's just wild that that was so disgusting, this audio, and it came from this show. Well, Lil Nas X responded to this clip. He said, wow, this is insane, almost as insane as my new single, Industry Baby, which is out now. Get it here, freelittlenasx.com. He said, the issue y'all say about me would drive me crazy if I didn't already love myself.

That's the most important part. You know, and Lil Nas X is a prime example of don't be afraid to do something just because you're scared of what people are going to say about you. People are going to judge you no matter what. So if you love yourself, put your best foot forward. And it's also been revealed that Lil Nas X and Taco Bell are teaming up. And the partnership is for Montero. You know, that's his real name. And so back in 2017, he was part of the Taco Bell team at an Atlanta area outlet.

And now he is got a role with Taco Bell. So congratulations to him for his new partnership. He's going to be playing out with a menu of activities, collaborations and a company wide push for his forthcoming album, Montero. He's also going to team with them to recognize and reward young creative individuals via the Live My Scholarship. And from today, he'll appear in their Breakfast campaign with further fan engagement opportunities to be announced.

I would love to look at Taco Bell's books. I would love to see how Taco Bell is still doing profit-wise. Yeah, 25 years ago. Even now? No, it still does well. You think so? Absolutely. Okay. I would love? Absolutely. Okay.

I would love to see. I would expect Tuesday to be their biggest day, right? Like today. It only makes sense, right? I would think so. All right, well, that is your Room of Reports. All right, we got front page news next. Yes, y'all need to stop eating them hot dogs.

I'm going to tell you why. Start or stop? I mean, you can give it to somebody if you don't want them to live long. Let's just say that. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

the general mike's been on don't need that now mike's on now mike's never went off i hate you man i hate you you know what morning everybody it's dj nv leonard and angela that's right we are the breakfast clubique. That's right. We are The Breakfast Club. Come on, let's get some front page news. Where do you want to start, Yee? Well, researchers have released a nutritional index and some of the findings in it. They included over 5,000 foods in the U.S. diet. It's classified

by health burden and environmental impacts. Did you know eating one hot dog takes 35 minutes off of your life, according to this study? What kind of hot dog though? See I don't like that because you got turkey hot dogs and you got all beef hot dogs. What kind of hot dog? Listen it's all processed

so a lot of times those processed meats have a lot of detrimental effects that's why I don't eat cold cuts So turkey hot dogs are processed? Yes. What is a hot dog? I heard that this morning but I thought they were lying. A turkey hot dog is all turkey. A beef hot dog is all beef.

A regular hot dog is all kind of different stuff. Yeah, I thought if you had an Angus hot dog, that was like... That's right. It's all Angus beef. Listen, y'all, I'm just telling you, if you want to keep on eating those hot dogs, go ahead. Nah, we need some nuance. You can't just say hot dogs. There's so many different types of hot dogs.

Now, they said 1855 gram serving of chicken wings translated to 3.3 minutes of life lost because of sodium and harmful trans fatty acids and the beef hot dog is what results in some 36 minutes lost. So what about vegan hot dogs? Is it plant-based hot dogs too? Yeah, I don't know if that

counts. But that's my point. That's why we can't just say hot dogs. I need some context. Don't just eat your meat, man. Shut up. I knew it. I knew it. Now, foods like salted peanuts, baked salmon, and rice with beans also give you some gains. So you gain 10 and 15 minutes.

So you eat. You got to balance it out. You eat some meat. You lose some time. I do all of that. You eat some nuts, and then you gain some time. I do cheat days. I mean, I eat very healthy during the week.

On weekends, I do what I want. I do cheat days. I mean, I eat very healthy during the week and on weekends, I do what I want. I do what I want. Alright, now, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has stepped down, and yesterday at midnight, he had to turn the reins over to our next first ever woman governor, Kathy Hochul. Now, here

is what Cuomo had to say as he did his farewell address, and he basically is letting people know that he did not do these things. He admitted to acting badly in certain instances, but he said some of the more serious charges against him are not true. Facts still matter. A firecracker can start a stampede. But at one point, everyone looks around and says, why are we running? The truth is ultimately always revealed. The attorney general's report was designed to be a

political firecracker on an explosive topic. And it worked. There was a political and media stampede, but the truth will out in time. In addition to that, he was talking about his own success as a governor. He said no governor in the nation has passed more progressive measures than I have. He said he tried his best. We didn't get everything done that we wanted to or even everything we should have done. And we didn't always get it quite right. But I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that every day I worked my hardest.

I gave it my all. And I tried my best to deliver for you. And that is the God's honest truth. Look at Governor Cuomo plugging my show, The God's Honest Truth, coming to Comedy Central Friday nights at 10 p.m. starting on September 17th. Great time for an endorsement. Incredible. Now, Eric Adams, he said,

will be the next mayor of New York City. He said, I think he'll bring a new philosophy and competence to the position, which can give New York City residents hope for the future. Because clearly he doesn't like the current mayor, Bill de Blasio. So that was his last final shot as governor. I'll tell you one thing, man.

My daddy would always tell me, you're never as good as they say you are, and you're never as bad as they say you are. And I also love the quote, if you live for the cheers, you'll die by the booze, because never forget how much the country loved Governor Cuomo this time last year. I mean, literally, just this time last year, he was the bell of the ball. He said don't forget what we accomplished. We went from the highest infection rate in the nation to the lowest. We did what no one thought could be done.

He also talked about the rebuilding of the Guardia Airport, a new Penn Station in Manhattan, and the launch of clean energy projects across the state. And he wanted people to know he did his best. Alright? Don't listen to people when they say they love you. Don't listen to people when they say they hate you. Don't listen to people when they say they hate you. Just stay the course.

Keep doing what you do. And that is your Front Page News. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, comedian Flame Moreau will be joining us. So we're going to kick it with Flame when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. That's right. Comedian extraordinaire, the host of the Laugh and Learn podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network.

Flame! What up, Breakfast Club? What's up, Envy? What's up, Angela Yee? Flame, always got the fans. Always. What's up, Sha Sha? What's up, Flame? Let me spray you. Have you been. What's up, Shasha? What's up, Flame?

Let me spray you. Have you been vaccinated? Let me spray you. That is my business. That's exactly what it is. This is my business. You see what this can says? This can says, kill coronavirus.

The vaccine says, testing. You know how many tests I failed in my life? I'm good. Did I say, cure coronavirus? Are you vaccinated, Flame? That's my business. You see how he's trying to give me security? I'm being attacked by this.

Do you know I just fanned out? I just had a sissy moment, y'all. I walked in the green room and I f***ing saw a little pussy and I lost my mind. I said pussy. I turned into a full on f***. I saw you posted a picture with a f***ing fan. Oh, I thought you said fan. I can say that. Yes, you can say that. That's a fact. No, I saw you posted a picture with a f***ing fan. Oh. I can say that.

That's a fact. I'm that too. I'm a fan now. I say Boosie. I love Boosie. How did Boosie act? Chill. Like, what's up? And his guy was like, do you know who Flame is? And he's like, no. I said, I'm a comedian. I was on here before. He said, oh yeah, I saw you on here.

It was cool. He took a picture with me. He hugged me, all of that. That's what's up. I don't invite the drama. I'm not looking for a fight. I'm here just to Netflix and chill. Speaking of Netflix, y'all ain't called me yet, so HBO, come with it. What happened?

This is business, baby. I'm selling s**ts and everything else. I wonder, does Flame Monroe find anything offensive? Yes, I do. Okay. You know what offends me? If you bother my family or my children. True.

I am in a place now. I'm someplace that a lot of people probably wish they will be or could be in their life. I am free. And when I say that I am free, that does not mean that I don't have rules that I have to follow or guidelines. But I am so comfortable with who I am and what I present and how I am that I make people around me comfortable enough to say, Flame, just cool. I felt like that the first time I met you. That's why you hired me the first time. You know people think

we f***ing. What? Oh, I get that from other comedians. Ain't nobody ever said that, Flame. Oh my God, if I showed you the text message, I can't show you my text message. I've heard it too. Everybody's like, Flame, you and Sean, man. I'm like, so just discredit me. I couldn't have got hired for my talent? He couldn't have liked my personality and what I brought? Oh, you couldn't have liked a better looking guy? like, so just discredit me. I couldn't have gotten higher for my talent? He couldn't have liked my personality and what I brought? Oh, you couldn't have liked a better looking guy?

First of all, I am handsome. I would have done your standards to be higher than that. Way higher. What about me? What about me? What about me? If I was dealing with a man, he'd need to be at least like 6'2". Make your s*** great, too.

Flame would be my type. He didn't need to cut it off. We're too short for you. What make you think Flame would be my type? I think that would be too aspirational for you. Way too aspirational for you. And by the way, Flame, you don't like guys? I do what I want to do.

Now, see, this is new. I didn't know this. No, it's not new. I said I like what I like. I do what I want to do. I said Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I do penis. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, I do vagina. You ain't never said that.

You told me that you like it. Oh, you ain't been to one of my comedy shows, so you missed it. So that's why you don't know it. You ain't bought no ticket. You told me you like women who present as men. I do. That is my get down. That is what I love.

My thing. But I mean, I've had a boyfriend. I've been everything. So that's why I say I'm free. I do. And I'm free. And my children know who I am.

And I'm telling you, once you have the love... What the f*** is going on? Who's yelling in your bag? Your bag just started yelling. That was my cell phone, y'all. They know I'm in New York. What does she have in there?

I'm glad Angela didn't see that day. She knew that. Oh. Woo-woo. That was a sock. I am not a thot. That's all you are. Let's not label people like that.

Oh, please. Oh, ain't no labels here. Just send me my email. I got a song out called He She We. Lady Brazy wrote it for me. It's called Ain't No Labels to This He She We my email ain't no i got a song i'll call he she lady brazy wrote it for me it's called ain't no labels to this he she we i don't put myself in the box i'm talking about that though we're not calling you oh you could be a thought it'd be anything oh young male female because you know they identify as everything right now i personally i think i uh harry tubman identified as the first trans man because remember harry tubman was running

running running running running and on the bills they was looking for a man. Harry was a woman. She might have looked a little manly. But if real talk of Harry Tubman wasn't allowed to be in the Olympics right now, none of you bitches would stand a chance. Because Harry ran for months. Months. That is true. I wouldn't have went back and got nobody.

I would have been a free bitch and said, y'all on, y'all on. I ain't going back. Master hit too hard. That hurt my back. What the hell is wrong with you? I don't even know what you're saying. That was a joke. I the hell is wrong with you? I don't even know what you're saying. That was a joke. I would never

disrespect black women. You just did. That was a joke. I know, I know, I know. Do people understand the context of jokes anymore? No. Absolutely not. And when you say something that offends everyone, they want to cancel everything. Let's talk about the cancellation of DaBaby last week. Yes.

First of all, DaBaby is not my demographic. I'm 55. DaBaby is 29. I never knew who DaBaby was until all of the controversy. But then let's break it down and take it to the context. DaBaby was on stage. We're all live performers. We are all in this room, have been on stage with live theater.

Sometimes you have an audience and you have a microphone and it gets away from you. The difference is at 50, you know when to bring it back or how to bring it back. At 29, maybe he didn't. So maybe his words got away from him, but he didn't say if you was black and gay, put your phone up. Or if you were white and gay, put your phone up. He didn't say if you was gay and got AIDS, put your phone up. He just said if you don't have HIV or AIDS, put your phone up. If you don't taste like water, put your phone up.

If you ain't in the parking lot, put your phone up. a hit dog will holler. He wasn't talking to me. So I didn't take offense to that because I'm like, y'all canceling everything. But where's the black men's caucus at to surround this young brother and say, hey, that's not cool. Let us teach you so you don't make this mistake again, as opposed to snatching everything away. And then all these celebrities jumping on. And Madonna, I'm a huge Madonna fan. Madonna created envelopes in the 80s to push, including on her knees in front of a black man burning a cross and like a prayer. She did that. Now they beat her house, burning it

down. But it was a different time. But don't take everything from this young man and don't teach him. I will say people have tried to approach him because they did have, it was 11 different LGBTQ plus organizations that were like, hey, we'd love to sit down with you. He didn't need to be spoken to by a LGBTQ organization. And then it was 11 different lgbtq plus organizations that were like hey we'd love to sit down with you he didn't need to be spoken to by lgbtq and then it was miley cyrus

it was also another lgbtq organization because my size that made up my man it was a few different people and i don't know what he's doing behind the scenes if he is having conversations lauren hogan who works on they on laugh and learn with me my partner my manager the hf reached out to him to do something but it was just too controversial at the time because they wanted to bring him up for World AIDS Day. I don't know if that's what it's going to take to mend the fences because everything we're going to take, everything

will be offended by. We can't be offended by everything that somebody says to us, even when they're not talking to us. I think part of it for him, though, was the misinformation about HIV and that you're going to die. I think that a hit dog will holler. Yeah, they corrected. And they took that and ran with it.

He was not talking to one group, organization, or nationality. He just said some words. I agree with not canceling people and with the education part of it. And so I did see people reaching out. And I know behind the scenes people have reached out also just because I think that's a great opportunity to say, okay, you said something. People were offended by it because people were offended. And then now let's discuss.

And so I do think that's a great opportunity. I agree with not just canceling people. Yeah, teach them something. That's all. Because I want to put my phone up on the part when he say, if you're not in the parking lot, I'll give you a d*** suck. I say, well, whatever you're getting, you're d*** suck. Not if you're sucking my d***.

You can't put your phone up. I would have been way up high. Now, LGBTQ community, how do they feel about Flaming Royals? Oh, not at all. They'm kidding me. We ask this every time.

I started my own organization. I got a tribe with a vibe. We call it the HeSheWe group. You can catch us on Love Lounge on Instagram every night between 6, 30, and 7, West Coast time. We got our own shit.

If I said every word perfectly for my community, it would never fall in line with what we do. The hypocrisy of everything I said two years ago and they're ready is falling in line. We're fighting over bathroom rights and pronouns still, but look at the strides that we are making. We have Sarah McBride, a state senator in Delaware. Joe Biden just appointed a young lady to be a doctor.

We also got MJ Rodriguez, who just made history as being the first trans woman to ever be nominated for lead actress in a series role for TV. So I'm looking at the positive. I'm looking at we're going forward. I'm not looking at we're going backwards. I don't want to fight. I just want to work and take care of my family. I don't care what you think of me. Alright, we have more with Flay and Monroe 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 still kicking it with Flame Monroe. Charlamagne, what do you think about how Biden handled Afghanistan? I think that anybody in his position, whatever president would have been, if they would have pulled out, it was going to be the same back then. Nobody expected the Taliban to move as fast as they did. Also, y'all keep forgetting that Trump let the leader out in 2018.

Everybody's mad at Biden, Biden, Biden, but y'all not giving Biden a chance. I hate that you vote for these officials to get him in and vote. Biden won, not by a landslide, but he won. Look, Lori Lightfoot of Chicago, Chicago mayor, she won by a landslide. Y'all voted to put her in. She made mistakes. Nobody is perfect at their job But we so ready

To throw them up under the bus Let me tell you something About the Democratic Party I'm a Democrat They need some You know who got the biggest In the Democratic Party Who?

Nancy Pelosi She got the biggest In the Democratic Party She could borrow a man I think that they've tried Every political strategy Except for courage I think that that whole term

That the rappers And all the gangsters say I gangsters say, I'm right or that, I'm right or that. The only people that's right or that in this life is Trump-licans and GOPs that are full-on Republicans. Because if the Republicans and Trump people was in the position

where they could get rid of the filibuster and can control the vote, you think they wouldn't have took the chance? They're doing it now. They're moving s*** left and right every chance they get. I applaud Stacey Abrams. I know what happened on January 6th. You know what happened on January 6th? Do you know what happened on January 6th? Do you know what happened on January 6th? Domestic terrorist attack by a bunch of crackers.

We won Georgia. I don't give a f*** what they was doing over there. We won Georgia. Stacey Abrams was on the ground. We won Georgia. That was not our fight. So while they're climbing the walls with no net like Spider-Man at the Capitol, we were celebrating in Georgia, partying up. Now, Flame, how has life changed for you since Day Ready

and then since having your podcast? Because throughout the years, we've seen your star rising up even more and more and more. So how's things for you now? Oh, I'm grateful to be working, Angela. Thank you. And Charlamagne, thank you for the job. Absolutely. Charlamagne gave me a job. Sammy was eye-hard and Charlamagne thank you for the job and I mean gave me a job Sammy what I heart Sean may win the partners that no why'd you ain't my goddamn party you make more money than me but Charlamagne my checks coming I'll never have to talk to Dolly Dolly is the

president's only running that way I How has life changed, though? It's good. You know, four years ago, I wouldn't have been able to be so comfortable with my son going to college and not thinking about it. Even though he got a full scholarship. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Congratulations. When she was going to go to MIT, remember? But then COVID hit. Nobody saw coming. A scholarship for what? Mechanical engineering.

Okay. Perfect. He's smart like his daddy His daddy just wear dresses But it's good Because my daughter is a sport already Anyway it just made more people know Who I am and people always say Flame You speaking you cooning for the straight people

You dancing the straight people there You saying what they want to say What it is is I've always spoke like this Y'all just come to find out who I am I was always this me y'all just being brought into the fold but if you don't want to work be around me in the words of nikki giovanni i ain't never worked the room where the door was locked and take five of your friends with you because your friends ain't my friends because my bitches wear my collars because i wear theirs if i ain't nothing else i'm loyal you think about little nas x and and everybody attacking everything he does?

I like that you got a list, too, over there. Let me hold your list, friend. I want to make sure I hit everything I want to talk about. Let me hold it. Let me hold it. I got you. I got you. Let me see.

I think that Lil Nas X is a prime example of live your life to its best. I've heard so many gay people complain. He's kissing a man on TV. He's gay. What else is he supposed to kiss? A horse? If he was on the DL and he got busted, then y'all would have a problem with that. You can never please everybody.

So stop trying. Look in the mirror and like the person that's looking back at you. When I tell y'all, look in the mirror and I see all the n****s up in me. The her, the he, them, those days. Looking back at me and we all chill because I

accept all my good and my bad. Too many people are lost. That's why we, 74 million people voted for Trump because they lost. They don't know what to do. They need a beacon of hope. Some people think that seeing gay people on television is going to convince children to become gay and pushing some type of agenda. What are your thoughts? That is

ridiculous. That's the same hypocrisy that some comedians, male comedians get out. I'm a male comedian. I never wear a dress. I never wear a dress. Tyler Perry has wore the ugliest dresses for about 20 years and is a billionaire and has employed tons and tons and tons of all people. Not

just black people, but all people. Tyler Perry, call me because I know you bring him a deal out of retirement and her stripper name is going to be delicious. I want to be her best girlfriend. I want to be scrumptious. I would love that. Come again, Tyler. Baby, the girl made a billboard and got a job for him.

So I'm asking now on the breakfast club. I'm crossing Tyler off the list. You're rolling, Flynn. Oh, that was on the list? Tyler was on the list. Oh, I had to make sure I gave the shout out to Tyler. I'm trying to give me a gig, baby. They say you have not because you ask not.

I just ask. Salute to Tyler. You know what? You look very nice and fit. What's your workout regimen been? Oh, thank you. I've been taking C-moms, Charlamagne. I've been taking C-moms.

So you don't work out or nothing? Hell no. You look like you have been though. I'm dating a 22-year-old. My workouts are regular. Okay. 22 years old? Really?

You mean? You mad? You mad? I'm actually very happy for you. I don't know what you're asking. You know I like them, yo. I'm a D-O-M-W-T. I ain't got no issues with that. I am a D-O-M-W-T.

D-O-M-W. What is a D-O-M-W-T? A dirty old man with tits. Come on, let's do it. Okay, what about that? Okay, you're a 22-year-old. It's very? A dirty old man with tits. Come on, let's do it. Okay, what about that? Okay, your 22-year-old is very close in age to your son. How does that feel? My son is 18.

I know, but that's close in age. And I don't look at my son the way I look at that. Well, I know that. I'm not into all that bullsh**. You say I'm not going to even respond to it. Everybody who knows me knows I hate pedophiles. That's why I live in Florida. What's the benefits of messing with a 22-year-old, would you say?

Like a younger as opposed to older. Young and dumb and full of A. I don't want nobody as smart as me because then I'll be challenged all the time. I need somebody that just don't know. So what's the conversations like? Conversation? They 22. F***ing conversation for.

Are you ready? Because I'm ready. That's conversation. That's how it went down? conversation they 22 conversation for are you ready because i'm ready see i can't lose because i'm on his side and i'm on her side this is he she we i'm i can't lose because i and when i do my love lounge because i do the show called love lounge where i'm a love guru where i do i answer love questions this is a love because i've been the husband and the wife sometimes in the same, depending on who turned it was, how much money was involved, and which day of the week. So I can answer all questions. So if you got a love question, hit me now.

Y'all hit me with anything. I'll tell you, I'm prepared. All right, we have more with Flame Monroe 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 still kicking it with Flame Monroe. Yee. Flame, what are your thoughts about the vaccine? Listen, I'm not anti-vaccine. I'm not taking the vaccine. And here's my reason on why. Because people always say, well, Flame, you can't say that.

You push an anti-vaccine. I have a lot of black market silicone in my body. I got a lot of foreign particle in my body. My breast implants, my hips. So if I put, and that has never bothered me in 30 years. But if I put another foreign particle that y'all don't even know what the fuck it is yet because it's not FDA approved in my body, and these two foreign particles don't get along,

and they fight in my body, guess who loses? I do. Because I could lose a leg or an arm. I could lose my eyesight. I could lose the ability to talk. And my mouth make my money. Only on the microphone, though. So I'm too afraid to put something and i have no control though i said today was test number 70 since the virus coronavirus has

hit i took 70 tests today made steps number all negative because everybody in my presence everybody in my presence is sprayed with lysol i'm trusting lysol more right now than more than i'm trusting the science especially that one from the 80s with AZT. Fauci. You don't trust Fauci? I don't trust Fauci. Okay, why not? Because he killed a lot of my girlfriends in the 80s. He did say that AZT would kill AIDS. It did.

And it killed everything in their bodies, including them. What was AZT? AZT was an AIDS medication that Fauci was ahead of and in charge of back in the 80s during the Ronald Reagan era when AIDS first hit. Do you see there's an HIV vaccine now that they're developing? Oh, I saw that. I heard that.

I watch that story all the time. I haven't went to see a reaper yet. I want to ask you something. Yes, ma'am. That you just talked about. So does putting a dildo in your b***h make you homosexual? Because can't you be a guy with a dildo in your b***h, but if a woman's doing it? But a woman wasn't doing it when he did it.

He was doing it. He was doing it. He was doing it himself. So that's just masturbating. Well, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, and again, a no. Evan, you know what I'm getting at. I know what you're getting at, but let me get to it. Hey, flamed in nine no's for each inch.

Baby, uh-uh. No, no. It's called pegging when you're with a woman with a man. But that's when a straight woman is with a straight man and they're doing their thing. But when he did that himself, that wasn't to prove a point. That **** enjoyed that.

You better look at his face on that picture. That **** enjoyed that. And let me tell y'all something. I keep getting asked, people keep asking me, Flame, are you going to get a sex change?

I'm ready for my next album. We'll be on Netflix playing. Flame, what are your DMs looking like?

It's too many queens. My DMs, when I was the, what are your DMs looking like? It's too many queens. My DMs, when I was the only one, my DMs was full. It's too many young queens. Now they're hitting them all up everywhere else. They just having them all, child. Everybody getting caught up. Let me tell you something. I don't think that, and I hate when they keep exposing all these rappers

and all these guys that have relationships with trans women. Sometimes they just are attracted to trans women. And it's okay, but society has already said, oh, you can't do that. That's gay. You're less than a man. You can't tell somebody how to feel. The problem is sometimes the trans needs to shut the f*** up. Stop running your mouth because I had a

relationship with a n***a for about 17 years on Atlanta Falcons and nobody knew nothing. Really? You want to know his number? No, I don't. Number 30-something. Where he takes you like to events with the family. Hell no. That took me in private and paid me. So why are you putting him on blast now?

I didn't. I didn't put him on blast. What name did I say? That's true. You're right. I'm not going to do that. I like my head on my shoulders. I don't want nobody looking over my shoulder.

I talk a good game, but I don't want to be putting myself in a position to where I'm going to be afraid because I did this or did that to somebody. You know, I did speak to Monique after that whole situation too. We squashed all that. Oh, y'all did? Oh, that's good. What happened? It was cool. She understood. I was never looking for an apology from Monique. I just wanted to know, girl, what? What'd I do?

But it was just a different time. And that was very explicit. It was just a different time. But she just got a great major deal with somebody. So I told you she was talented. She was going to get another job. Monique is beyond talented. Nobody ever said Monique wasn't talented. Tyler, I mean, Oprah, call me. Tyler and Oprah.

All right, so look. How do you want to shout out Monique and then shout out Oprah? Because they're powerful black women. Yeah. I'm a team black woman. Word, word, word, word. And, you know, I get, ooh, let me go.

I know we want to get away from the LGBT, but I got to bring it up. I got so many attacks about flame. You're not a drag queen. You're a drag queen with d***. You're not a trans woman. I was a trans woman when some of y'all were still cooking in your daddy's d***. You young bitches better do your research before you check up on the old queen

because I know some stories, and I know where the bodies is buried. I will never discredit a biological woman. It's my term. I say biological woman because biological women are givers of life. I came in and every other bitch and every other n***a in this room

and white boys too came in through a woman. I would never discredit a woman. And I'm not saying that I have no less disrespect for my trans sisters, but they are my trans sisters. I'm not falling for it.

So be mad at me. You know I don't care. Flame, give them your Instagrams and podcast information and all that good stuff. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a podcast called Laugh and Learn. And thank God that the Black Effect Network has just acquired a YouTube channel so we can really start pushing

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 gonna 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. Listen up. It's just the end. All the gossip.

Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Young Blue detailed his whole incident where he basically had a run-in with Georgia

officers. He accused them of racial profiling. Now, he said that he was going to buy a trailer and he was inside Absolute Trailers he was there for about 10 minutes and then an officer came on the scene he was racially profiled he says by both the owner of Absolute Trailers as well as a female

officer who was called to the location he did a post about it and he said they approached me and my team for absolutely nothing trying to buy a trailer for my tour. The owner was an old white guy who called the police talking about they suspect fraud. I was just trying to buy a trailer.

The first officers walk up with hands on guns, damn near drawn on us saying, what y'all doing here? We have a brief back and forth and then as I leave, the cop is sitting

in the middle of the highway waiting on us. They trap and get behind me. They said my tag is obstructed but she clearly had her lights on way before she saw the back of my car. Five cars have pulled up on us since then I'm up here at Absolute Trailers. They just profiled the s*** out of us, called the police. I'm looking at trailers. I'm up here in my lab in my truck trying to find a trailer for tour.

And they called the police on us just for looking at trailers. Talking about they had a bad run in last week. Yeah, what that running got to do with me? I'm okay to buy a trailer. I'm an artist. I make a lot of money. I'm trying to buy this legally. What the hell are you calling the police for me for?

Right. And then he also called out the police, not just the trailer company profiling him as well she pulled me over she was in front of me put her lights on in front of me they profiled me at the store when i came down they plotted on me so i came down the street she put her lights on before i even she even saw my tag got behind me she was already in pursuit of me when she hit the turn. So how you know my tag was obstructed when you ain't even get behind? All right. And then he did end up getting arrested and he gave an update. He said,

I'm all right. Back free. F'em. Thank y'all. Yeah. I mean, listen, that bigot missed his blessing because he let his prejudices get in the way of his paper. Young Blue got the cash. He wanted that trailer for tour. You know, that guy would have got that money, but not now. And that's good. You know who's who because I wouldn't want to give my money to a bigot. Not for tour. You know, that guy would have got that money, but not now. And that's good. You know who's who, because I wouldn't want to give my money to a bigot.

Not at all. You know, it's interesting, because sometimes, right, have you ever been in a store and felt like you were being profiled? Happens all the time. Go ahead. Now, I was going to say, and then what do you do? Do you say, I'm not bringing my business here, or do you try to buy something to prove to them that?

It depends on what situation. Sometimes I go to a different salesperson that the dude wasn't following me, or sometimes I bring my business someplace else. I've done that many a times. I've definitely seen people do that stupid stuff. I hate when they do that. They get mad at the store owner and be like,

I'm going to watch this. I'll buy this whole store. And then you spend $20,000 in the store to prove a point. Thank you for that commission. Sometimes you go to a different salesperson. No. This could have been your money. Even when I purchase vehicles a lot,

the first thing I do is I look for a brother in the store to help me out, a brother or sister to help me out. And if somebody's doing something, I go to somebody that decided to help me and I will issue on a person that's just looking stupid for not helping me. But you're still giving the store all the money though. The store ain't going to do it. It's the salesperson. The salesperson don't eat off but you're still giving the store all the money, though. The store ain't got nothing to do with it.

It's the salesperson. The salesperson don't eat off of that. I'd rather not give the whole store nothing. The whole store got to suffer for the sins of this bigoted salesperson. All right, now, Jay-Z and Beyonce, people are upset at them for posing with this rare Basquiat painting, and also they did that to sell a Tiffany diamond. There's a new ad campaign featuring Jay-Z and Beyonce.

It's called About Love. Now, when you say people, tell me who these people are. Is this social media? This is definitely social media. I saw Van Lathan posted, am I the only one that's mildly annoyed when they see so-and-so billion-dollar black celebrity partnering with 100-year-old white brand? And he said, is it just me?

You need a nap, Van. That's too woke. Sometimes when you're too woke, you know, you say strange things. You need to nap. But see, like, I can never understand why people would get mad at Jay and Beyonce. Now, I understand, but they do so much for the community. So you could say, okay, let's say

they got a hundred million dollar check, but how much do they always give back every year? And the fact that they didn't do it... I haven't even heard the story. Go ahead. Tell the story of why they're upset. They're upset for two reasons. One, I heard, for the fact i haven't even heard the story go ahead and tell the story why they upset except for two reasons one virus i heard for the blood diamonds and what's the other one um i guess and so what i'm trying to to gather because when i first saw this i didn't know what was going on so i had to dig deeper into it but uh van lathan said to hovane elevate black luxury brands only forever so we can actually have black luxury brands the longer we build the mystique and value of brands that have exploited us,

the more we miss out on their wealth for us. Are we prisoners of the moment? Because didn't everybody just give Beyonce props because she was walking around with the black bag? What's the black bag called, Yee? What black bag? The black bag. Telfair.

Oh, the Telfair. Exactly. How quick do we forget? Like, literally, this was just like a week ago and everybody was, maybe a couple weeks ago, and everybody was bigging her up and the bag sold out. Why can't you do both? I didn't see that. I saw you there

and they were mad because they were saying that Tiffany's diamonds are blood diamonds and they heard our ancestors get the diamonds so I seen they were mad about that.

I don't know nothing about that. Then I seen they were mad about the Basquiat and now they never showed a Basquiat and that's not what Basquiat would have wanted. Well, how does anybody

know what you're talking about? That's what they said. Seriously, what are y'all talking about? I have no idea what y'all talking about. That's why people were mad. Those are the reasons yesterday that I see.

Well, yeah, it was a never before seen Basquiat that they were posing in front of. And she's also the first black woman to wear the iconic Tiffany diamond. So the diamond that she has on is iconic. It's a 128 carat Tiffany diamond and the company acquired it back in 1878. They rarely put it on display.

R.G. Hepburn wore it in Breakfast at Tiffany's and Lady Gaga wore it to the 2019 Academy Awards. So she's only the fourth woman and the first black woman to wear that diamond in more than a century. I just don't understand why you can't do both. Because literally we just saw, like, I mean, by the way, Beyonce and Jay-Z both elevate black brands and black businesses all the time. But we just saw Beyonce with this bag.

And by the way, Tiffany is also pledging $2 million towards scholarship and internship programs for HBCUs. See? See? Alright, well that is your rumor report. Parking.

Yeah, you're going to find a lot to park your ass. You're going to get caught a lot now. It's too far. Enough's enough now. Everything is so far. Enough's enough. I don't hate you niggas sometimes. I send y'all healing energy, by the way.

I didn't mean to say that. I don't hate anybody anymore. I don't hate people. I either love you, wish you well, or hope you heal. So I'm sending y'all healing energy. People just attack. Just attack. There's no reason.

I'm sending all of y'all out there that's mad at Basquiat and... And Blood Diamonds. And Blood Diamonds. I don't even know anything about the Blood Diamonds. There's no reason. I'm sending all of y'all out there that's mad at Basquiat and... And Blood Diamonds. And Blood Diamonds. I don't even know anything about the Blood Diamonds. I seen it yesterday. Tiffany and Company's Blood Diamonds? I don't know. I don't know anything about that.

All right, well, who are you giving your donkey to? Osbed Vasily. Okay. He needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with him. What's the name again? I think it's Osbed Vasilyon. You just said it twice.

Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Hee-haw, bitch. Hee-haw. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy. I can take it if he feel I deserve it. Ain't no big deal. I know Charlamagne and God gonna have some funny shit to say out his mouth. If God say something you may not agree with, doesn't mean I'm mean. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey.

That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey of the day right there. It's a breakfast club, bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Yeah, donkey of the day for Tuesday, August 24th goes to a 31-year-old man named Osbed

Vasilian. Did I pronounce that right? Play it for me, Red. Osbed Vasilian. Osbed Vasilian. Okay. Definitely that right? Play it for me, Red. Osbed Vasilyan. Osbed Vasilyan. Okay. Definitely sounds like a luxury brand. All right.

He is from Fresno, California, and he was cited for misdemeanor hitting run. Now, there are conflicting reports about what happened in this situation, meaning conflicting reports about how the accident happened. Okay. Let's go to KMJ now for the report, please. Police say a driver crashes into two cars Monday morning in northwest Fresno because he was distracted. It was around 10.15. Police say the man pulled down his pants while driving and started to self-pleasure in the area of Herndon and Riverside Drive. His car crashed near the marketplace at El Paseo Shopping Center.

Police say then 31-year-old Asbed Vasilian got out of the vehicle and walked away from the scene. A Fresno County Sheriff's deputy located him at a nearby Dickie's Barbecue. Police cited Vasilian for misdemeanor hit and run. Yes, you heard correct. A masturbating motorist, okay, an Uber Beach driver named Asbed Vasilian who was caught at a nearby Dickie's barbecue after getting into a car accident because he was shaking hands with the milkman at 10 15 a.m in the morning. Now I told

you it's conflicting reports because some reports say he was cooking cucumbers while driving. Other reports say he was playing five on one after the accident. Let's go to KMPH Fox 26 for the report please. 31 year old Osbed Vasilian hit two cars near Herndon and Riverside, then got out of his car and walked off. The sheriff's office says he also pulled down his pants and started masturbating in broad daylight by the crash. A deputy detained him near Diggy's Barbecue. No one was hurt, though.

American Ambulance did show up to make sure everyone was okay. Vasilian's car was towed away from the area. He was cited for misdemeanor hit and run one of the men who was hit posted about it on tiktok he caught video of vasilian appearing to touch himself you saw right there before he walked off away from police going right through traffic and nearly getting hit by two different cars turning onto Riverside. I know TikTok took that video down. And listen, it doesn't matter if he was painting the pickle inside the car or outside the car. The fact remains that he was found near a Dickie's barbecue.

This isn't lost on me. In fact, it sounds like he was dropping off the main ingredient to that Alabama white barbecue sauce. But that's another story. Listen, do they still make stick shift cars? Yes. OK, so there's still stick shift cars out here because he may want to get one. Alright, that's

you know, that's what a sod needs. He needs a stick shift car and a sexual partner. Okay, he clearly misses or has never experienced the joy of using a clutch pedal and gear shift to guide a car through all its gears. Okay, if you have a certain age, you know, like me,

this story doesn't surprise you because if you're 40 and up and you're black, you should absolutely positively remember when stick shifts all across the country were sexualized because Trey Styles decided to lie on his penis. Listen. Can you drive stick? I can learn if you teach me.

Envy, ask me if I know how to drive stick. Envy, ask me if I know how to drive stick. Envy, ask me if I know how to drive stick. Leonard, do you know how to drive a stick shift car? My name is Leonard. Ask me nice. Leonard, do you know how to drive a stick shift car? No, but I do know that when I'm stuck in park, someone has to stand behind my car and check my brake lights. So stand

behind me, Envy, and check my damn brake lights. Okay. Whoa. Now back to Osbed. All right. Back to Osbed and the hand, the gland combat he was engaging in. See, we all know that when your car jerks while you're exhilarating, it's probably a problem. But when the driver of the car is jerking while the car is exhilarating, it's definitely

a problem. Okay. Dirty fuel injectors are among the most common reasons for why an accelerator becomes jerky. And Cam'ron's pink horsepower is among the most common reasons for why a driver becomes jerky. There is absolutely no reason to be holding your sausage hostage while you're driving, okay? There is also no reason for you to fire your apprentice standing outside your car after said accident.

This is what happens when you take that extra scrimp Royal Honey Pack the night before, and things don't go as planned, okay? You can't just be taking Royal Honey VIP if you don't have a for okay you can't just be taking royal honey vip if you don't have a for sure thing lined up you end up like osbed okay on a date with 50 palmer buttering your corn calling down for more mayonnaise at 10 15 in the morning my god now i don't have anything else to say here other than the cause of the accident was clearly because Osped was distracted. But man, how do we know that this case isn't new evidence that masturbation does indeed cause blindness?

Let's discuss. But in the meantime, please give Osped Vasilian the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.

Yes, ma'am. All right. When we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Now, we reported a story in the rumors about Jay-Z and Beyonce. What is the story again, Angela Yee? People are upset with them for this whole Tiffany campaign that they're doing and also for having a rare Basquiat painting that they're posed with in this ad campaign.

It's called About Love. I don't believe people are really mad. No, no, they're upset. I don't believe social media. I don't believe people are really mad no no they're upset I don't believe social media I don't believe in social media at all I don't think

in the real world outside of that virtual reality that is social media people give a damn about it I seen it yesterday they were upset I was trying to figure out

why because that's why I had to dig deeper into it I was like okay I was confused to be honest so what are they mad about? a couple different reasons what are the reasons? one was they said that Tiffany honest. So what are they mad about? A couple different reasons. What are the reasons?

One was they said that Tiffany's has blood diamonds and they're promoting blood diamonds. Now, I did one quick Google search 30 seconds ago, and Tiffany's said they don't have conflict diamonds. So that was false. That's literally on their website. It actually says, yes, we have taken rigorous steps to assure that conflict diamonds do not enter our inventory

as global leaders in sustainable luxury. Tiffany & Company is committed to sourcing natural and precious materials in an ethical and sustainable manner. Then they said that Basquiat painting that Jay-Z behind his Basquiat paintings. So you mad about a painting I got in my house and I ain't let y'all see it. Yeah, they said that's not what Basquiat would want. I don't believe this. I don't believe people are really mad about this. I just think this is social media. And then he said he's trying to take Basquiat style. I can see that.

Basquiat and Dade County, Miami niggas. I can see that. You can see that. I can see that. I can see that with Hov's hair. I can see that. Stop it. I can see that.

That I can see. 800-585-1051. Are people taking this too far? Is this getting ridiculous now? Come on. I don't believe it's real. That's why I like going up the phone lines because radio listeners are real. Social media is not.

You think it's bots that just make that stuff up? That's right. Yo, shut up. 800- 585-1051. Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic.

Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, Angela Yee reported something about Hov and Beyonce in the rumors. You want to break it down, Yeezy? Yes, Jay-Z and Beyonce, they are doing an ad campaign with Tiffany, the famed jewelers. And in this ad, we see that Beyonce's wearing the $30 million Tiffany yellow diamond necklace. That's a stone that only four other women have worn before at all, period. I think they acquired that stone,

they said, back in like 1877 or something like that. So it's worth $30 million. But people were upset. Why? I don't know. They were mad. They said Jay-Z behind his Basquiat paintings,

which is his paintings. It's his painting. I bought it. It's in my house. They said thatZ behind his Basquiat paintings, which is his paintings. It's his painting. I bought it. It's in my house. They said that's not what Basquiat would have wanted. Then they said that. Well, I don't know that it's Jay-Z's painting. I think it's Tiffany's painting.

That's why we need researchers. I don't know whose painting it is. Yeah, they said they had acquired it, which had been in the possession of a private collector since the early 80s. But even still, regardless of whose painting it is, it's my painting. Put it out when I want to put it out.

Why are you upset that you didn't see my painting that I paid for you? I got a lot of paintings in my house. Do I have to put them on Instagram for y'all to see? No. No, I have a lot too.

What are we talking about? No, you can't see none of them. Also, they were mad about the blood diamonds. They said that Tiffany be messing with blood diamonds. Allegedly. I googled on Tiffany's website. They say otherwise.

Did y'all read that? Yep, I seen that. Shouldn't we put that out there for the people? We did. Let me read it again real quick. It's just real quick. It just says, what did it say? Damn, I done lost.

Oh, it says, we have taken rigorous steps to assure that conflict diamonds do not enter our inventory. As global leaders in sustainable luxury, Tiffany & Company is committed to sourcing natural and precious materials in an ethical and sustainable manner. So where did that story even come from? And Tiffany, by the way, is donating $2 million to her scholarship and internship programs for HBCUs. I mean, that's good. I feel like it should be more, but that's good. I mean, listen, and by the way,

I'm only saying it should be more with no knowledge of what they're working with money-wise. No, we don't know. I don't know. I don't know. We don't know. And also, people say that Hov is trying to take Basquiat's style. He's definitely doing that. The hair.

Miami-Dade County dudes and Basquiat, that's where Jay-Z gets his hair style from. But that's neither here nor there. The one thing I fundamentally disagree with is something we discussed last hour, where they said that you should elevate luxury black brands. I could have sworn Beyonce and Jay-Z do that quite often and I could have sworn

just a couple weeks ago didn't Beyonce cause a black luxury bag to sell out? Yeah, that was last week though. What was the name of it? Telfair. Telfair?

That was last week. People forget what happened Why are we such prisoners in the moment? I can't. A couple that does so much for our community. It's crazy.

They got Tiffany to donate $2 million. They invest in our community. Why we mad? And I told you guys, I was trying to figure out what the issue was because I wasn't 100% sure on why it was trending and why people were upset about it. But then I went and looked at what Van Lathan wrote, and he posted,

Am I the only one that's mildly annoyed when they see so-and-so billion-dollar black celebrity partnering with a 100-year-old white brand? Is it just me? Van's a guy. You spoke to him? Yeah, but I didn't talk to him about that yesterday. But what do we want as black people? And by the way, I want to know what's the better way.

Like, what's wrong with partnering with institutions? Like, I don't get it. Like, we can't have all these conversations about equity and ownership and building black capital but then don't want to do business like why can't we do business the way everybody else does business literally everybody else it's strange to me and if and if you're and if you're if you're retort to that is but we should be building up our own i literally saw this bag that I'd never heard of, Telfair, sell out. Yes. Because Beyonce wore it a couple of weeks ago.

So what are we talking about? I got family members that ordered it and asked me if I can get one and I told them they gotta order it on the line. What are we talking about? I don't know. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name is Nikki. Hey Nikki, good morning. What's your thoughts on everybody talking about J&B? I just think that I can see both sides. I can see both sides i can see

how some people can be upset where you stand for everything that's black black leadership black entrepreneurship by power however you partner with somebody like as a predominantly white institution but i can see where you partner with those institutions because you would like to spread your message to a broader audience. No. Are you just making what you're making your black owned business stronger? Now you got more capital and more resources to hire more black people and put more black people in position. And if we're trying to get our companies to scale so we can be one of these Fortune 500 companies, these are the partnerships that have to happen.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. And that's just my point. And speaking of Black entrepreneurship and promoting Black, do you mind if I give my sister a shout-out? Sure, go ahead. I just wanted to shout-out my sister, Megan. And it's in my parenting that she's a powerful, young, Black leader in motion.

She's the best in the world. She taught me how to swim. She's so strong. I want to be just like her when I grow up. Absolutely. Thank you, Mama. And also, too, weren't y'all just congratulating Rihanna last week on becoming a billionaire? Weren't y'all just congratulating LeBron on becoming a billionaire?

Yeah. How do you think they got there? Partnering up with... Rihanna's with LVMH. Yep. Like, what are we talking about? So many different companies. Yeah, absolutely.

Y'all are strange. 800-585-1051. We're talking J&B. What are your thoughts at the Breakfast Club? Good morning. I ain't no witness. I ain't a witness.

I ain't a witness. I ain't a witness. I ain't a witness. That Kano VV was bad. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club Topic. Come on.

800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking about Jay-Z and Beyonce. Now, some people were upset with them. For what reason, Yee? Just because they've done this ad with Tiffany.

And in that ad, Beyonce's wearing the $30 million Tiffany diamond. And they're posing with a rare Basquiat. So people are mad that they said that, you know, they're dealing with a company that deals with blood diamonds. And that's not true. Charlamagne just read that. They said they don't do that. Oh, listen, I'm just reading what's on their website. I don't know what's true and what's not true.

I just know Tiffany and company says they've taken rigorous steps to assure that conflict diamonds do not enter our inventory as global leaders in sustainable luxury tiffany and company is committed to sourcing natural and precious materials in an ethical and sustainable manner that's what they said the bosque i i don't understand why y'all mad that i own something and haven't let y'all see it it's mine it's mine how can you say things like uh but this is not what bosky i would have wanted how do you know who where's the letter that bosky i wrote that said that and they also were mad that uh they said uh jay-z uh try to look like basket i that i agree with stop it that in miami-dade county and in boskyiat hairstylist fans

have a case there that is a fact hello who's this this is trash good morning what's your thought trash okay so i think the issue is that they never have a rollout campaign that announced what they're doing right they just appear show something and now people get a chance to critique it. They could have came out and said, we're going to do this with Tiffany. It's a showcase, black luxury, and that we can be a part of this or whatever. They did announce it. They announced this like last week. Didn't they?

Well, I didn't see no announcement. Yeah, they announced it. They didn't do a good announcement because this is louder than their announcement. Now, I will say, when I saw the pictures yesterday, I didn't know what the pictures were for. I just was looking like, oh, it's cool pictures of Beyonce and Jay. I just thought they was out at some black time. Right, the campaign came out on Sunday. Right, but you see now, you had an announcement, but the critique is louder than the announcement.

And my second point is the amount of money that Tiffany is donating. Now, we know that family owns a lot. They have a lot of money. They're like the fifth on the list, right? The billionaires, right? Mm-hmm. If Mackenzie Bezos can donate $40 million to HBCUs, why are they only donating $2 million?

Like, that's nothing. Hey, I'm with you. So many HBCUs. Now, listen, I'm with you. As a person who has donated a quarter million dollars of my own money, you know, at one time, I've actually done way more than that. But you can't tell people what to donate. I agree.

And you don't know how much they donated and where they donated. She's saying that number sounds light. It does sound light for Tiffany. It sounds light. They have over 100. Remember, this is the more energy family, right? We got to stop that, though. We can't tell people where to donate.

No, we don't. No, we don't. Yes, we do. No, we don't. You don't know what else they're donating. That's true, but we do need to put pressure on these companies at all times. They might be donating to something else. By the way, if I'm Tiffany & Company or any of these Fortune 500 companies, I wouldn't want to put that number out there.

I wouldn't want to say I'm only donating $2 million. Only $2 million? For Tiffany & Company, that's only. But we don't know what else they donated, though. But they can say it. You want to quiet the noise because and Company, that's only. But we don't know what else they do need, though. But they can say it. You want to quiet the noise because, listen. That's right.

The truth is, they bought Ace of Spades and Jay-Z got the advertising as a part of it because it's the same family, right? They own all of this stuff. Louis Vuitton. I don't know if that's true.

Let's not start spreading them lies. Look them up. They are not family. All right, Louis Vuitton, Moet Hennessy. I don't know. They own Fendi. They own all of that. They own Ace of Spades., Louis Vuitton, Moet Hennessy. I don't know. They own Fendi. They own all of that.

They need to stay. They own all of that. Oh, yeah, yeah. I thought you were talking about Tiffany and Company, too. Yes, that we know. Yes. And Tiffany is valued at approximately $5 billion. Come on, now.

Just give a little more. We don't know what else they do. Nah, I'm with her. We got to stop now. No, no, no, no, no. You can't tell somebody to donate. I'm with her. I'm with you on that.

I'm with you, man. They basically bought us a bottle in the club. And I agree with Van Leighton. I agree with Van Leighton. I think they reach a point. They're black loyalty now. Everything doesn't have to be something they're paid for. They can do something.

I disagree with Van because two weeks ago, Beyonce was spotted out with a Telflare bag, and Beyonce's always bigging up black designers, and Jay-Z's definitely always bigging up black creatives. So I definitely disagree. I think you can do both. Well, thank you, Mama, for calling. Anybody in this room turning down a Tiffany's endorsement situation?

I would because I don't wear diamonds. They sell more than diamonds at Tiffany's, bro. Well, I wouldn't even know that. See that? That's exactly why I don't need to be doing it. It's not just diamonds. What else they sell? Black jewelry, everything. They sell more than diamonds at Tiffany's. Well, I wouldn't even know that. See that? That's exactly why I don't need to be doing it. It's not just diamonds. What else they sell? They sell jewelry.

I ain't really that type of person. They sell, you got jewelry on now. How you know it's real? You're right. Touche. Touche. We got rumors on the way. And by the way, I have a nice simple anchor because it keeps me grounded.

All right? This is for spiritual purposes. I've seen you with a Malcolm X chain. I've seen you with Elijah Muhammad. Spiritual purposes. I don't feel like they sell that at Tiffany's, though. I don't think they have Elijah Muhammad at Tiffany's. Greg Yuna.

Okay? Smooth to my guy, Greg Yuna. All right? But the moral of the story is it will never cease to amaze me how much people speak on things they know nothing about with such confidence, including me. And also, I'm a Pinkett Smith Winfrey knows caller, so I'm biased. So don't listen to me. Okay, we got rumors on the way in.

Yes, Marlon Wayans, let's talk about what he's doing next, what he's going to be starring and producing. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Rumor, rumor.

On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, Tanal Lathan was on Jamil Hill's Unbothered Podcast, and she was talking about her role of Monica in Love and Basketball. She almost didn't want to do the role. She felt really discouraged, and people around her were also discouraging her from taking that role. She said everybody told her to drop out. Here's what she said.

Every time I thought that it was time to get the job, she would throw in another basketball player. And that became very emotionally really hard. And it went on for months and months. And everybody in my life said, you got to drop out. She doesn't want you. You're not going to get the job. And then this woman, Debbie, said to me, she's like, you're working out. You're learning a new skill. You love acting. Just do it for the job. And then this woman, Debbie said to me, she's like, you're working out. You're learning a new skill. You love acting. Just do it for the fun. Stop worrying about getting the job.

It was a huge lesson for me because as soon as I let go and I was like, you know what, I'm just going to have fun and I'm going to learn basketball. And if I get it, I get it. If I don't, I don't. That's when I got the job. Well, thank God. Oh, so it's not like, you know, she had the role and didn't want to do it and people were discouraging her. She was auditioning. She didn't know how to play basketball. Yeah, she was auditioning, but she didn't feel like she could do the role

because all these other basketball players who she said had been playing basketball since they came out the womb were auditioning, so she was just ready to not do it. And she felt like she should just not even bother trying, and people were discouraging her from taking on that role. And they were telling her to drop out and that she wasn't going to get the job. So stop trying.

But she persevered. Oh, just a prime example of you'll never miss out on what's meant for you. Never. All right. Now, Moneybagg Yo has the highest selling rap album of 2021. So congratulations to him. Rightfully so. Yes, $777,000.

Who do you think is number two? Poo Shiesty. J. Cole. J. Cole? Is number two. Oh, Poo Shiesty was number two at one point. Poo Shiesty's number three. And then Polo G, then Rod Waved, and Doja Cat, Lil Baby and Lil Durk, Lil T.J., and

then Slime Language 2 and DJ Khaled. I've been saying all year long, man, the best rappers are from Memphis. The best rappers this year have absolutely positively been from Memphis. So Moneybagg, Yo and Poo Shacksy being in the top three don't surprise me at all. All right. A judge has increased Tory Lanez's bail for violating a protective order that was granted to Megan Thee Stallion. He appeared on the Rolling Loud stage in Miami shortly after her performance. His bail was bumped up from $190,000 to $250,000.

He's also now prohibited from attending any events where she will be present as well. So the judge made it clear this is his last warning. If there's another violation, then he will be remanded into custody. All right. Now, on an episode of the Road Trippin' podcast, Kendrick Perkins said that if he could fight somebody in a celebrity boxing match, here's who it would be. If I had one guy, and he's not even my former teammate, but he feel like that I talk s*** and I feel like he talk s***, it's Draymond Green. Like, if I had to get in the ring and really put these paws on somebody, it would be Draymond Green.

But I really think he don't want that smoke. And history tells me that he really don't want that smoke. What history? I don't know. You don't know their history? Something I'm missing? I don't know. I don't know if Draymond backed down from a fight or something.

I don't know. What was the context of that conversation again now? Yeah, he was just talking about who he would pick if he was doing a celebrity boxing match. Oh, okay. So if he could fight somebody, who would it be? And that's who he said it would be. Gotcha.

And yeah, there you have it. All right, now Baby Keem has announced that his Kendrick Lamar-assisted Family Ties album is dropping this Friday. He posted the Family Ties cover art on social media, and he posted 9 p.m. Pacific on Thursday. So I guess midnight Thursday, you can go ahead and check out Family Ties cover art on social media. And he posted 9pm Pacific on Thursday. So I guess midnight Thursday, you can go ahead and check out Family Ties.

I can't wait. Okay. Drop on the Clues Bonds with Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem. Lil Dicky put me on Baby Keem a couple years ago. Oh, actually, maybe this is just a single. Yeah, this is just a single. The first time I heard Baby Keem, I said, he sound like if Kendrick Lamar did trap music.

You didn't know that was his cousin? I had no idea at the time. Alright, well, The Office Single. And the first time I heard Baby Keem, I said, he sound like if Kendrick Lamar did trap music. You didn't know that was his cousin? I had no idea at the time. All right. Well, The Office may be coming back. The showrunner, Greg Daniels, has said it could happen. It just depends on when they want to get it started. Who's in The Office?

I don't watch it. You never watch The Office? No. Steve Carell is in it. Craig Robinson was on it. There was a lot of big stars that was on The Office. Minnie Kaling was on it. That's how she has her own show now. All you got to do is turn to Comedy Central on any given afternoon.

It's always on? Is it a Caucasian show? It's definitely a Caucasian show. Well, they have a lot of, but there's black people on there too, though. I just never seen it. It's very diverse. Okay. I will say that.

There's Latino people, there's black people, Indian, everything. It's funny, though. Yeah, it's a great show. All right, now let's talk about the fifth and final season of Insecure by Issa Rae. Are y'all excited for the final season? I'm sad about it. Is this a black show? This is a black show. Is this a black show?

Yeah, y'all not going to be able to handle Insecure Season 5, man. Man, when y'all find out who died, whoa. Don't do that. Well, October. Oh, I shouldn't have said that.
