Wow, what were you doing? I did the late show with Stephen Colbert last night, and it was actually live.

You know, it's live after all the conventions. So it was live last week for the Republican National Convention, and it's live this week for the Democratic National Convention. And Barack wanted to speak so late last night because it's his final speech, his final horizon. He spoke so late, and I think he was done by like 1130, 1135. It was pretty late, like about 1130. So then the local news had to come on, and then Colbert came on like 12.23,

and it was actually a live show. Damn. Wow, you didn't take a nap beforehand? No, not yesterday. I didn't have time. I went to the gym, went to get a haircut. You know, I live life. I play with the kids, kiss the wife, you know?

Well, I'm in Chicago right now, and there's a bit of a time difference, so I didn't get a lot of sleep either, but I feel good. It happens. We're here. Absolutely. A slightly bright-eyed, but definitely bushy-tailed. Definitely bushy-tailed this morning. Where the hell did that saying ever come from?

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It's from squirrels. Really? Mm-hmm. You're like a little squirrel with a bushy tail. And bright eyes. Yes, absolutely. But I'm in Chicago now.

One of the first people I saw when I got here was I saw Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade. Drop one of those bombs for that. That's beautiful. They were eating right outside the hotel where I'm staying. Did they know who you were? Well, yeah. First of all, I know Gabrielle Union. That's my girl.

I love her. Hung out with her a few times in Miami. Super cool. So a lot of people kept stopping to take pictures. They were eating outside. And I asked a dumb question. What'd you ask? Well, she was like, hey, what are you doing here? I was like, oh, I had to do something for work.

What are you doing here? I know. I forgot. I forgot that he plays here now for the Bulls. What was her reply? I mean, he's from there. Well, she pointed at him and he had on a Chicago Bulls hat. And she said, you know, we're looking for a place to live and school for the Bulls. What was her reply? I mean, he's from there. Well, she pointed at him and he had on a Chicago Bulls hat and she said, you know, we're looking for a place to live and school for the kids and stuff like that, so we're just here because, you know,

he plays for the team now. Wow, you. I was like, oh. Good job, you. You know, I forgot. Okay. Next time you see Derrick Rose, don't ask Derrick Rose what he's doing in New York when you see him here. He's playing basketball. It just caught me off guard. And then I was actually going to eat

at that restaurant, but then I felt stupid, so I just was like, alright, take care. And then I had to walk all the way around the block and sneak around the back and go inside. Alright, well let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what we talking about, Yeezy? Man, we're gonna talk about Freddie Gray. Now, people can't believe this, but the charges were all dropped.

We'll give you the details on that. People can't believe it? Really? What country have we been living in? Since when has there been justice? Ain't that what we upset about? I mean, I thought something. I really did.

I thought something because everybody knows Freddie Gray didn't kill himself, but, you know. Yeah. What else are we talking about? And, of course, we'll be talking about

President Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention endorsing Ms. Hillary Clinton. All right. Mrs. Hillary Clinton. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get your ass up. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. That was Beyonce with Sorry. Now let's get in some front page news. Now, Freddie Gray case. What happened to the officers, Yee?

Right, and just to refresh you, this is about Freddie Gray, who was in the back of a police van and somehow died. Now, according to the state's attorney, Marilyn Mosby, she said, we do not believe that Freddie Gray killed himself. We stand by the medical examiner's determination that Freddie Gray's death was a homicide.

So we know that for a fact. But they did drop all the remaining charges against three Baltimore police officers. They had already acquitted three others, including the Vans driver and the highest ranking officer of the six. So if you know that it's a homicide, how do you

justify letting all the police officers know? First of all, it's called a homicide. What'd I say? Well, if you know that he got murdered, why do you still let the police officers know? I can't figure it out. I knew they was getting off the once Baltimore paid Freddie Gray's family that $6.4 million.

They ain't not giving the family $6.4 million and convicting the officers. That ain't gonna happen. And according to the police department, they're saying the state's attorney simply could not accept the evidence that was presented. She had her own agenda. So they presented. She had her own agenda. So they do believe she had her own agenda. But come on. So he could have. The medical examiner said

it was not an accident. So when you say you can't accept the evidence presented, you can't accept Freddie Gray's broken, mangled, dead body. That's not enough evidence? Sounds crazy. That he clearly didn't do himself? That's not enough evidence? So sad. Okay. Now let's talk about Barack Obama, Yee. Yes, Barack Obama spoke

at the Democratic National Convention yesterday endorsing Hillary Clinton. Here's what he had to say. Nothing truly prepares you for the demands of the Oval Office, but Hillary's been in the room. She's been part of those decisions. No matter how much people try to knock her down,

she never, ever quits. That is the Hillary I know. And that's why I can say with confidence, there has never been a man or a woman more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America. He's absolutely right. Even if you don't like Hillary Clinton, you can't act like she's not experienced enough to be president.

She's definitely experienced. And that's the simple difference between her and Donald Trump to me. The one who's got zero experience, the one who's got a lot. Barack gives amazing speeches. That's an understatement. When he talks, you just mesmerize. And he gives amazing speeches without sweating. It's hard for a black man to be up on that pulpit.

All them lights on you. All them lights and give them great sermons and not sweat. Like, you saw Cory Booker the other night. Cory Booker was giving a great speech. Yeah, he was sweating. But he had a pastor ragdamp in that forehead. You're right. Barack don't even take sips of water.

Nope. Don't nobody come out and spray no cool water on his face, no towel, no nothing. He just rip it. He ill with it. Yeah, he ill with it, man. He ill with it. Drop one of Clues bombs and pray to Barack Obama. You'll never see it like that again in your life.

That boy got swag when he talks, boy. All right. That's front page news. Now, on today's show, we got an artist joining us. He's pretty new. You might not know who he is. You might know who he is. He goes by the name of Anderson Paak.

Oh, man. Well, he was on the cover of the freshman XXL. Yes. He's got a great project out called Malibu. I like Anderson Paak. He's dope. I feel bad because when Keith Sweat was here the other day and Keith Sweat was talking about people that could be

legends in R&B in the future. Right. And I said Miguel, which I stand by still, but I feel like Anderson.Paak got something, bro. Yeah, we'll talk to him. He's also signed to Dr. Dre.

He's done a bunch of work with Dr. Dre, The Game. He's real dope. He was on that Compton album. Yeah, he was on the Compton album. He's not just R&B, though. He's just a little everything. He's got something. He's on that Compton album. Yeah, he was on the Compton album. He's not just R&B, though. He's just a little everything. He's got something.

He's special. I think he's special. Yeah, so we'll talk to him a little bit. But what do I know? I got the same clothes on I had on yesterday. I noticed that, but you didn't even take a shower. You had to go home. I did take a shower.

You just put on the same clothes? I actually mixed and matched. What I did yesterday, I had on something. I had on these pants yesterday when I was here, but I wore this shirt last night on Colbert's show. So you just mixed and matched. I got the same but I wore this shirt last night on Colbert's show. They just mixed. Mixed and matched. I got the same pants I had on yesterday.

Yesterday. Not last night, but yesterday, but the same shirt I had on last night. Did you change your drawers? I don't know. That's important. No, the reason I don't know is because... You can't take a shower and not change your drawers. You have to change your drawers.

I don't know because I woke up, Dave was on the floor, so I can't remember if I wore these last night or did I pull them out this morning and just throw them on the ground. Sounds like a great night. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. That's a little disgusting, bro. You should at least change great night. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. That's a little disgusting, bro. You should at least change the drawers.

I'm not sure. But whatever. All right. Well, tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent call us right now. Maybe you haven't

changed your drawers. You got a little stench coming up. I ain't got no stench. I ain't say you. I didn't say you. You sound like you're talking about me. I didn't say nothing about you.

I just said maybe. I was just talking about wearing the same drawers. Now all of a sudden you just said maybe. I was just talking about wearing the same drawers. Now, all of a sudden, you're just going to randomly shout out people who got on the same drawers with a little stench. I wasn't talking about you, bro. You have a stench? 800-585-1051.

to the subway yesterday, and they wouldn't take them, man. The word gets too bougie. Wait, but it's post-dated, so you can't use it, right? Yeah, I can use it. That means they gonna cash it when I put the date on there, which was for like two days later. No, I don't play in subway. I eat at subway every day for lunch, and I wouldn't play Subway. I don't eat that way to take your checks either.

I literally eat at Subway every day for lunch, and I wouldn't take a post-dated check if I was Subway. Why wouldn't you take a post-dated check? Because you don't know if the person got money in their account or not. You don't know what's in that person's account. Yeah, what if it doesn't clear? Oh, it's going to clear. It was only $4.

We don't know you, sir. We don't know if that money's going to clear. That could be a fake check. Oh, it was only for $4? Yeah, $4, Angelique. I'm telling you. Come on. They could have took the little check, let me get my little sandwich, and let me go about

my business. What the hell kind of sandwich you got for $4 at Subway? It was like $4 and some change, man. The bad thing about this guy is he ordered the sandwich and then had to pay for it, and then he ain't had the money. So the sandwich is sitting in there. Yeah, I mean, I feel like- I had the money.

The money was on the check. I'm telling y'all, man. They could have standed a bump, man. I feel like if you had the money. The money was on the check. I'm telling y'all, man. They could have standed or something, man. I feel like if you got... They couldn't do me like that. If you got to write a post-dated check for a sandwich you don't deserve to eat, just snack on some air. Just snack on some air until you get it in your hand.

but I was actually on live on the Colbert Show. That was my second time being on a Colbert Show, and Barack Obama didn't finish speaking on at 10.30, but I was actually on live on the Colbert Show. That was my second time being on a Colbert Show, and Barack Obama didn't finish speaking until after 11.30. And, you know, Stephen Colbert's whole live show spiel is based on the Democratic National Convention, so they waited until the DNC was over,

then the local news had to come on, and then it came on. But it was dope. John Oliver was on there. I was on there. And, I mean, I just like doing the Colbert show. It's a good experience. It's a lot of good energy. Now, you're out in Chicago. How's the Chi-town?

and I think the Malibu Project is very, very, very dope. I wouldn't consider him R&B. He's kind of a little bit everything. No, he's definitely R&B. He's a little worldly, a little R&B. He's definitely R&B. He raps a little bit. He's a, very, very dope. I wouldn't consider him R&B. He's kind of a little bit everything. Nah, he's definitely R&B. He's a little worldly, a little R&B. He's definitely R&B. He raps a little bit. He's a little everything.

But I get it. He is on Aftermath. All right. Well, we got rumors coming up. Well, we're watching this saga continue between Keisha Naipuliam and her husband, Ed Hartwell. After such a short marriage, she spoke out and said she thought everything was smooth. Well, here is what Ed Hartwell has to say in response to that to People Magazine. Okay.

We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. Rumors on the way. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club.

Rudy who? Rudy Huxtable. Her name is Keisha Knight Pulliam in real life. But, yes, she did play Rudy Huxtable on The Cosby Show. And she's going through a rough time right now. She's pregnant. And her husband, Ed Hartwell, has gone public and said he wants to get a paternity test. And that he has filed for divorce.

Now, Keisha Knight Pulliam did an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight. Here's what she said. He left like it was any other day. He was thinking goodbye. I was still sleeping in bed. did an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight. Here's what she said. He left like it was any other day. He said goodbye. I was still asleep in bed. And he texted me, you know, saying, hey, can I talk to you for a moment?

Which wasn't weird. I was like, okay, babe. You know, okay. He was like, you know, this isn't working. All I heard was I filed for divorce this morning and I'm coming to get my stuff. Did you cheat on him during your marriage? I have never cheated on him. I've never been unfaithful to my husband. This is his

daughter. You know, it's one thing when you choose to be in the spotlight. It's another thing when you have a baby. And it's not about me. How does Heathcliff Huxtable feel about all of this? I don't know. Any comments from Claire Huxtable? I don't know. This is her real life story

and she's really pregnant and having a baby now. According to a source on Ed Hartwell's side who revealed some things to People magazine, this source is saying the couple just cannot see eye to eye on anything. Ed Hartwell's very old-fashioned in marital beliefs and how couples should make decisions, and it seems like she's more interested in remaining a successful, independent businesswoman than baking cookies and being a submissive wife. Isn't Ed way older than her? Yeah, I believe so.

Oh, that ain't way older. I thought he was. Oh, no, because she's like in her 30s. Yeah, she's in her 30s. I thought he was like 45, 50-ish. Yeah. Oh, no, he's actually 38 and she's 37. Oh, they're close.

Yeah, they cool. Yeah, and he has one child with Lisa Wu from Real Housewives of Atlanta. Yeah, I thought he grew up like watching Rudy. Like he was a grown- ass man when Rudy Huxtable was running around the Huxtable house in pajamas. Right, I mean they got married really quick after knowing each other. They've only been married

six months. Well, once again that's what she gets for leaving Big Tigger. We don't know what happened with that. That's the story in my mind until somebody tells me different, okay? She left Big Tigger and she's getting what she deserves now. Oh boy. Now Tyrese posted a picture on Instagram yesterday. Did you guys see it? The picture with

Jay-Z and Future and Khaled in it? Uh-uh. He said they scheduled a video. I hope they've scheduled other meetings about the state of black men and what we need to do to change the ish that's going on. I'm scared for our future. I'm especially scared of the most powerful black men and influential black men

of our generation not finding time to take what's really going on more serious and align our minds and powers to directly affect change. Tyrese, my man, 300, but he got to mind his own business. Like, the Jay-Z's out here doing a lot. We don't know what these people are doing behind the scenes. Exactly, but he's doing a lot. I mean, Jay-Z even dropped a record. Nobody paid attention to the record. He dropped what is called Spiritual.

That was about, like,Z even dropped a record. Nobody paid attention to the record. He dropped what was called Spiritual. That was about everything that's going on. He said he wrote that around the Michael Brown situation. Yeah, that was an older record. He did it with detail, and then he just put it out recently because he was waiting for the right time, I guess, to put it out, and he felt that this was the right time. Why wouldn't you post that, Tyrese? Jay wrote a nice letter about it and everything,

about why he decided to write the record and how these things must cease. You know, the killing of unarmed black men in America, but why highlight that future in Caledon situation when Jay-Z put out a record? Well, Tyrese also wanted to make some things clear. He actually spoke to TMZ after this, and he's saying he's not calling out Jay-Z, Caledon, Future as hip-hop stars, not doing enough for the community. He said that was just about all people of color needing to step up and come together,

especially powerful men like Jay-Z. He said he's also going to reach out to Jay, and they're going to try to come up with some kind of plan to help save black men from killing each other and winding up in jail. Listen, I agree with him, but don't assume people aren't doing things just because they're not posting it all over social media or doing Snapchat videos about it. You don't know what people are doing.

Correct. Right. All right, now let's discuss. I'm in Chicago, and just recently they actually started demolition of Oprah's former Harper Studios out here in Chicago on the near west side. And they knocked it down, right? Yeah, actually McDonald's bought it. And so they're going to be moving their headquarters over to that location.

So Oprah posted a picture of her studio, and she said, First crack on the wall, and before you know it, demolished. Harpo Studios, long may you reign in our hearts. So many memories, so many powerful stories shared. Thanks to all who made it happen. So that's where she had the Oprah Winfrey Show from 1990 until it went off the air in 2011. She just closed the studio for good last year. Is that the one she had all the cars when she gave everybody a car?

You get a car and you get a car and you get a car. It's that studio. Absolutely. By the way, I'm a Pinkett Smith Winfrey knows car. And I don't like how you said that about my mama. What part? She said McDonald's bought it. McDonald's didn't buy it.

Oprah sold it. It's the same thing. No, it's not. Oprah sold it. Let's be clear. And she sold it because she wanted to sell it. Oprah sold it. It's the same thing. No, it's not. Oprah sold it. Let's be clear. Well, they purchased her studio complex for $30.5 million. Oprah sold her complex for $35-something million because she wanted it. McDonald's bought it for $35.

Oprah sold it. And they're going to put a McDonald's there and sell nuggets and cheeseburgers and fries. I don't know if it's going to be a huge McDonald's. I think it's more like their headquarters, their corporate headquarters. I was just know if it's going to be a huge McDonald's. I think it's more like their headquarters, their corporate headquarters. It's not going to be a McDonald's. And she sold it because she wanted to sell it because she was done with it. Drop one of Clues Bomb for my mama, Oprah. I'm a Pinkett Smith

Winfrey knows Carter, damn it. That's a lot of nuggets on deck. Alright, well that is your Rumor Report. I'm Angela Yee. Alright, thank you, Miss Yee. Now when we come back, we have a special guest joining us. Yeah, a young new artist that I thoroughly enjoy. I was sleeping on him. Somebody was trying to put me on to his music a few months ago.

I didn't get around to it. I think I started listening maybe like two months ago. He's got a project called Malibu that's really, really dope. Anderson.Paak will be here. That's right. He signed to Dr. Dre. He's worked with Dr. Dre's album, the Compton album. He worked with Game.

So many different people. We'll chop it up with him when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Drake One Dance. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building today. Anderson Paak. Anderson Paak. Yes, Lord. I can't front, brother. I slept on you. Somebody recommended you to me early this year, and I never listened.

But a few months ago, I listened to Malibu, and I'm like, this kid got it. Now, you signed to Dr. Dre or? Signed to Dr. Dre. Oh, you signed to Dr. Dre? Yes. Now, I know you wrote a lot for Dr. Dre, but Dr. Dre really doesn't have that many artists anymore. I don't. It's interesting.

That's why I like it. It's a good time right now, you know? And wasn't it when they presented your music to Dre, somebody said, Dre's not signing the law. Yeah, what's his name? The lawyer. I mean, he was just kind of like, you know, good luck. Yeah, like, you can play it for him, or I'll try to play it, but he's

not interested right now. And that's how I felt, too. I always thought it was so far fetched. So he did play it for him? I suppose. I think a lot of people tried to play it for him. I think F. Gary Gray tried to play him some stuff. But honestly, you could play stuff for people, but sometimes with

my, in the case of me, a lot of times people don't really get it a lot of times until I'm in the studio with them. They see what kind of unfold and then they really become believers at that point. That's what happened with him. He didn't, people tried to play him different things, but then when I got in the studio with him, he was like, oh yeah, it's that nigga. He was's what happened with him. People started playing him different things. But then when I got in the studio with him,

he was like, oh, yeah, it's that nigga. And he was just always writing. But I feel like we're speeding a little bit, man. Let's talk about this process. It took you 13 years to get on from what I read. Right. And I'm only 21 years old. So, you know, it's kind of crazy, bro.

But you did say at one point you wanted to give up. I was ready to give up this morning. Why did you want to give up? Because I didn't sleep. I was up all night. And I was like, damn, we're going to come. They're going to be grilling me. They're going to ask me some crazy shit about Dre.

Yeah, there was a couple times, man. It was just taking forever. I was watching everybody else just... Like, Hov has a line where he's like, it's like 92, 93, and Snoop and Dre and all them are popping. He's literally still slinging. Dope, you know? And that's how I was feeling watching... Yeah, Matty Pop in the West.

Had a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yup. That's how I felt. But I had a family. I had a kid. I got a son and a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yup. That's how I felt. But I had a family. I had a kid. I got a son and a wife, and I was literally going couch surfing with my fam.

Just, it had no direction. And I was watching everybody pop off, you know, Cole, Dre, Kendrick. All these people were the same age as me. You can't watch other people's journey, though. But I was. I had shit else to do. That's exactly what I was doing.

I was watching episodes of The Breakfast Club. I was watching. That's all I did, you know. I was just watching, watching. And if I wasn't watching, I was just working on my music and working on my craft. I had nothing else to do. Now, which wife was this? Because I find it interesting.

This is the one that matters. Jay Lynn. You got a couple of wives. Hey, Yonce. Nay. Chagia. My uh. I started speaking in tongues just now.

That's right. That's right. She know. They know what it is. I'm Yonsei. I'm a Korean people out there. You've been married twice. I have, man.

You young to be married twice. I'm a lover boy. Blame it on my mama. Oh, good. She been married a lot of times. She got a handful. I mean, you only get a couple of good marriages. Get a couple of good marriages. mean, you only get a couple good marriages. Get a couple good marriages.

That's what I'm saying. You were homeless at one point too, right? I was, bro. I was homeless, couch surfing. Because a lot of people would be saying they're homeless. They would be staying at a friend's house. You know what? I don't feel like I was ever without a home.

I was exactly like you said. With me, there was never a time where I felt like I couldn't go somewhere, you know, and I got siblings. I got two older sisters, and honestly, I lived with them, you know, with my sister, and when one sister kicked me out, I moved with the other one, and then when she kicked me out, I run out of money, I moved with the homie,

and then, you know, it was just, I always had someone to go with. You weren't on the street, street homeless. It was a couple times where it was in between places, and the homie was, you know, he had his spot. You're like, you street homeless. It was a couple times where it was in between places and the homie was, you know, he had his spot. You're like, you and your wife and your kid gotta get out. And the other homie, you know, I remember one time the homie was really helping me out. Shafiq

was like, yo, my spot about to get foreclosed so you can stay here until the sheriff comes and then we gotta go. You gotta help me, Pat. So you were squatting? Yeah, that's it. You were a squatter. I would go from one spot to another until I finally got a little bit of change and I got on tour and then I was able to. Now, how did you meet your wife?

You said she's Korean. She didn't speak any English. Which one? The one that matters, as he says. Yeah, yeah. I met her at music school. She came in from Korea. I went to this school where it was kind of like a ITT Tech for Musicians trade school

where they teach you until you get popping, you know, you got to make some money. And I didn't want to go and get a job and work at Rouse or whatever, you know, so I just was like, okay, I play drums. I've been playing drums in the church for years, so I at least can read music and I can be a session player. I went to that school. I got into the school. I had to drop because I couldn't afford it.

I couldn't get nobody to give me a loan and nobody I couldn't get no financial aid, so I had to drop like within weeks. But then they were like, you good.'t get no financial aid, so I had to drop within weeks. But then they were like, you good. You know how to play, so we're going to hire you as a TA. And that's how I met my wife, because she was in the vocal class. How did you afford to go to school,

but you was homeless? So I did. I couldn't. He was a TA. Yeah, I was a TA, so they was paying me to be there. Teaching assistant. Teaching assistant. Okay.

Yeah, so they was actually paying me to be there. Now, your father went to prison for beating your mom? Yeah, yeah. He got caught me to be there. Now, your father went to prison for beating your mom? Yeah, yeah. He got caught up on, you know, in the drugs and alcohol. Things got a hold of him. And that was the last time I ever saw him. I was like seven years old, and he was just all messed up on it. And, yeah, he was just out in the street with my mom.

My mom was coming home from work one day, and he just tackled her in the street. Really? For what? We just heard her screaming. He had a lot of issues it was a lot going on you know i was only seven years old and you haven't seen him since uh no well he passed away when i was in my maybe 23 or something so he died in jail yeah no no he got out he did about 14 years and got out and then he started calling me and we started kind of

building the connection and and talking but he was really trying to reach me and wanted me to come and visit him and stuff. And I honestly, I put it off for a while. And I just I remember he would leave messages and messages, messages. And I didn't know he was dying. He knew he was dying. He had cancer. And he and now now I understand why he was so adamant about trying to, like, build that relation relationship with me.

And I was kind of a little bitter. And now I feel, you know, kind of shit because, you know, it would have been nice to, you know, talk to him. All right. Well, we have more with Anderson Paak when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

That was Rihanna needed me. Morning, everybody. It's DJ M.D. Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. He's signed to Dr. Dre.

He's worked on Dr. Dre's album, The Game album, a host of albums. Goes by the name of Anderson Pack. Now, Charlamagne? Now, your mom went to prison, too, though. She did. She did. He was pretty much around all the way until I got into high school, but when I got into senior year of high school, both my mom and my step-brothers got put into prison. Interesting. Now, your mom sold strawberries?

Yeah. Yeah, she had her own strawberry business, and Oxnard is produce. It's like the beach in produce, strawberries, all kinds. You can grow whatever. Marijuana. You grew marijuana, right? Yeah, yeah. How do you go to prison for selling strawberries?

Well, no, she didn't go to prison for selling strawberries. It was a bunch of tax things. I think they're called illegally moving securities. Money laundering. Tax evasion. Yeah. You probably hate strawberries now. Man, I wish I could say that, man. I still really do like it. moving securities. Money laundering. Tax evasion. Yeah. You probably hate strawberries now. Man.

I wish I could say that, man. I still really do like it. You do? Yeah. You know what's interesting is that even you being at home and having, you know, both of your parents go to jail, you still turn to music for everything instead of turning to something else. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I had an outlet. That's it. That was it. It saved my life, you know? Like, I had something to do and something

I was really obsessed about. I didn't care about anything else. All this stuff was happening around me. My parents got put down and all this stuff. I tried to work different jobs. I bounced around different things like that, but I couldn't stop making music. I always do that.

Did it affect your siblings in a different type of way? Yeah, absolutely. My little sister is two years younger than me. I know it affected her. It was just a lot. It's just like having the ground just swept up under you. We was really spoiled kids. We had everything we wanted.

Because of the strawberries? Yeah. My mom not only did that, but she was a really good gambler, and she still let her gamble. So she would go to Vegas. We damn near grew up in Vegas, and we would get everything comped, and we'd go out, and my mom would be out in the slots. And then you got married at a really early age yeah right the first time yeah

how long did that last like a blink well i mean as soon as i did it i knew i mean it was just like i grew up in the church and like you know we both grew up in the church and every time we get the pool every time we humped we was like we going to hell like fuck we going straight to hell we was like even if we were just like well let's just try just hit it and then no

we still going to hell and like so I was like let's get married so we legit and we can freak as shit yeah and I mean

it just seemed like a good idea and it just it just backfired but you know the thing is great thing about that was she was a really good singer

and she really gave me a lot of confidence and boost to chase, get back into music and really be like, you should sing. You should mess with that a little more. That's great.

So she had her purpose. Yeah, absolutely. Everything. You can say people come into your life for a different reason. Do you feel like you are anything? Oh, no.

Like, being that she does music and you're in a position to maybe help her out now, would you do that? Nah. He's do that? Nah. He said, nah. Nah. I don't think she wants to see me.

Nah, I mean, I think... So you love her? I did. That's pretty bad, then. Breezy, love Joy. How could you? I know. I remember she was like,

it's either me or music. She seen me getting really, really into it and she didn't like that. Yeah, because she encouraged you. Yeah, you know, people try to encourage you but then they try to compete

sometimes, you know, significant other wants to compete with what you're chasing and it takes a lot of balls, a lot of respect, because it's like seasons, you know, Kobe and Jordan, you know, when they're being the greatest, they probably couldn't be the greatest dad or the greatest husband at the time when they're scoring

40, 60 points a game. They just focusing on that, being the greatest basketball player. And now he's retired. I'm pretty sure he's like, damn, what's that meme where he's like, so what should I like to do? You know, like that's where it's at now. And now he gets all that time, but he was building something. And, you know, now he can just chill and do that.

So that's what I'm doing now. I'm really, this is really what I'm, you know, I feel like I'm the best at right now is making music and wanting to make music. And now it's really happening. And I feel like I'm the best at right now is making music and wanting to make music. And now it's really happening. And I feel like I'm going to really execute at this point. You also have a lot of different influences in music as far as the type of music that you listen to. How would you categorize your music?

Sometimes it's a little poppy. Sometimes it's worldly. Sometimes it's jazz. Sometimes a little jazz. Sometimes a little punkish. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's range and dynamic, you know. Maybe genre-less

or if anything, but I think that's for people to put it in their own little box. I even sometimes think it's gospel, you know, even. I think it's just a feeling, if anything. The people I really look up to especially in hip-hop were people

that they were MCs, but their music met funk and met rock and met jazz. Like Andre 3000, like Kanye West, like Pharrell, you know. These were all people that were coming out and were big influences to me when I was still able to be a fan of music. And these were people that someone like Hove would draw inspiration from I could see that he when he worked with Pharrell he was loved the fact that Pharrell could be a skater in punk rock and still give him these raw hip-hop beats and stuff like that so I love that you know and that was what I was inspired by do you feel comfortable around other MCs because you're so left XXL cover and you sit next to artists that don't

necessarily look like you or sound like you or have the same vibe as you? No, I don't feel, not XXL, I was a little more sometimes uncomfortable when I was maybe

in the studio with people like The Game and there's just like 50 gangbangers and I'm worried when I'm worried not to say, but when you do

sessions like that and then you in with these kids, I'm 10, 11 years older than some of these kids. And it's like. Did you connect with anybody from the cover? Particularly out of all of them? Lil Dicky was really cool.

Because, I mean, you know, we're kind of like around the same age. And we're just kind of real fascinated. I have like, you know, I'm fascinated by the younger generation of hip hop. How does it feel to be a freshman? Why do you keep saying younger generation? Like, you super old, man? I mean, I feel like it when I hear some of it. I feel like one of them old niggas when I used to play,

and they was like, what is that? You know, sometimes, you know? Like, I really feel like I don't get it, you know? But you know what? I've learned that there's nothing wrong with not getting it. Yeah. Because everything ain't for everybody. Exactly.

Like, if I hear Lil Yachty, I'm not posted like Lil Yachty the way an 18-year-old kid likes Lil Yachty. Exactly. But I'm intrigued, you know. That's just naturally how I am, and that's what brings the best out of you is being in these different environments. So whether it's, like, being with Lil Yachty

or being with Schoolboy Q or being with, like, some punk rock group or anything like that, it's just I'm trying to figure it out. I love that part. It's like, whoa. All right, well, let's get into it. Anderson.Paak joint is called Am I Wrong?

It's featuring Schoolboy Q. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Am I Wrong? Anderson.Paak featuring Schoolboy Q. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.

Anderson.Paak's in the building. Now, Charlamagne. Now, you we are the Breakfast Club. Anderson Pax in the building. Now, Charlamagne. Now, you sold weed legally and illegally, right? Yeah. I think it was always illegally. Because I read something, you was trimming it. Yeah, yeah. We was trimming, and I was bagging it up,

kind of like the little grunt workers. You got fired from an illegal job? Fired on my day off? No, I was like, it was, you know what it was? It was the well ran dry, and they didn't have no more work for us. That was pretty much it. But when it was popping, it was popping.

What you mean? I just mean that How much money a week? I think I was making like, and it was a lot for me at the time, but it was like 5, six G's every few days. Oh, that's not bad. Yeah. And it was me and my boy Jose, and we were, it was maybe about 10 or 12, but we split it, you know,

because we was moving it around. But I knew it was all profit. So it was out of a girl house or a real trap house? No, it was. He was trying to get you to tell a lot right now. Yeah, yeah. Clearly he's told a lot if I know. Jesus Christ. Yeah, yeah. Clearly he's told a lot if I know. Jesus Christ.

Yeah, yeah. No, we was in it. It was damn near a trap. It was pretty much. But we was the only ones stupid enough to be in there with all the product. And it was like, these niggas will go in there and do it. Never on it. I don't even think Instagram was popping yet.

Yeah. Yeah, this was still. Yeah, so we was just in there trimming it. And we was like, man, we taking all the risks. Let's get a little bit, you know. So you're stealing. Ah, you were stealing the product and then selling a little bit on the side. Absolutely.

Okay. What are we supposed to do? Now, how far along are you on your project that's going to be coming out under Dr. Dre? I got a bunch, a bunch of tracks, a bunch of demos. I got a bunch of stuff that I never put out that I thought was going to go on Malibu. I just always creating. Like, I like to be in the studio every few days. I got a bunch of stuff that I never put out that I thought was going to go on Malibu. I just always create. I like to be in the studio every few days. I don't know. I don't think it is really

going to start, though, until I get in with a good doctor. We do about a good few months and really, really, really get to the nitty gritty of it. I'm excited for that. Do you want to get bigger? Because you're in a good space right now. I want to get better. I just want to get better at writing. I want to get better at because you're in a good you're in a good space i want to get better i just want to get better at writing i want to get better at playing i want to get my show to

get better i want that i just want to be hungry you know and if that means bigger crowds and bigger checks then so be it now what is the tattoo on your arm sample all the doves uh this is 24 doves i was 24 when i had my son soul so i got a son here and I got my son's name in Korean. His mom's full Korean. I'm a quarter Korean. My mom's half. Oh, you're part Korean? Mm-hmm. Do you like your chicken

Korean fried or Kentucky fried? Never Kentucky. Yeah, no. I try to stay away from fried, period. But I'll do the Korean fried any day.

So your wife is really a ride or die, though, because she was really there with you when things were super low. I'm talking about. Which wife? What's the first thing?

The only one that matters. My shaggy. What's the first thing that you did for her and for your son? I got her Chanel bag. There we go. The boy bag. You don't seem like you'd be married to somebody who'd be into that type of stuff. It's a balance.

You just do it with your hands. It's a balance. I don't care. I like this, or she like. Yes, because there's a big stain on your shirt that's been bothering me. Where is it at? Where is this thing? It's right there. It's a balance. I don't care. I like this or she like... Yes, because there's a big stain on your shirt that's been bothering me. What is it at? What is she saying? It's right there. It's yellowish. I've been looking at it. What the hell is that?

That's a little bit of hash oil. That's alright. But no, that's just the balance. It don't take much. And it's also representative of this is the first time I've been able to get a Chanel bag. I'm sure she got a bunch of them now. It's a representative of where you finally just, you know, things clicked. Yeah, for Koreans, yeah.

They like that shit. Love Chanel bag. You gotta show love. The good thing about you, though, the money probably won't ever change you because you've been through the real low extremes already. And you've lived life. And you're older. So it's probably not going to make you go crazy.

Time will tell. It's going to be fun to watch you, man, because I can see you either being one of those real legendary musicians, or you might just go crazy. Yeah. Because you got a wool hat on in the middle of the summer. So I'm thinking it might be crazy. I didn't know it was thunderstorming out of nowhere the other day,

so I'm just like, I don't know, man. That wool hat will protect you from the thunderstorm. Keep it versatile. Yeah. Yep. You had to do some... You had to do some... You know what I mean?

You was about to... You was gassing me for a little bit. Right? Right? You said you're about to be a legend. No, I can see that.

I do, because you really care about the music. I appreciate it, man. Yeah, that's it. That's all. That's it. That's it. I love it.

I love the music. I love y'all. It's a pleasure being here, man. Well, we appreciate you joining us. Thank you. It's The Breakfast Club. It's Anderson Paak. Yes, that's it. That's all. That's it. That's it. I love it. I love the music. I love y'all. It's a pleasure being here, man. Well, we appreciate you joining us. Thank you. It's The Breakfast Club. It's Anderson.Paak. Yes, Lord! The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. The Rumor Report. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Joe Button just did an interview with FirstWeFeast.com, and he talks about what happened the aftermath of those kids that ran up on him at his house and he chased them with the rocks and everything. All right, well, guess what he did after that?

He actually showed up at their house. Check it out. I went to their house the next morning. How did you know where they lived? Because the Internet will tell you everything that you need to know about someone. Because I have a 15-year-old.

If my kid were behaving in a manner that would get his f***ing head popped off, I surely would hope a parent would come tell me. The mom came to the door and I looked probably

threatening. And she went and got his four brothers. And I had my conversation with all of them. We all had a nice understanding. We should probably

rectify this. More importantly, if y'all don't, I'm at your house. Well, there you have it. I think that Joe handled that the right way. Show up at the house. Yeah, I mean, he went to go talk to the parents. Like he said, he said he's got a 15-year-old son, and if his 15-year-old son was in the street doing something

that, you know, could get him killed, he would want somebody to come tell him. Thinking about it, yeah, he did the right thing. At first I was like, well, why would he do that? But, yeah, that's the parent thing. These are young kids still at the end of the day. And also it's probably embarrassing for them as well to have Joe Button show up and talk to your parents

about what it is that you were doing. But that's the truth, though. Like, I'd rather you come talk to me and tell me, like, look, I almost shot your son because this is what he did. Now you let the parents deal with their 15-year-old kids. Right.

Right. Now, I don't know if you guys saw Bow Wow on Twitter, but people are giving him... Why would I see Bow Wow on Twitter? Well, because it was on all the blogs, what he said about voting. Now, somebody asked him,

Hillary or Trump? He responded, I don't really care because after I learned what I learned about politics, I just stay away, let down. They said, well, you should care based on the fact that your ancestors died so you could have the right to vote. And he responded, man, I only believe what the I see. I'm mixed.

I don't know what my ancestors were doing. I only know what I see. And they said, you don't know what your ancestors are doing. Did your I see a movie called Selma? And he said, yeah, I seen Selma. Was I related to what I see. And they said, you don't know what your ancestors are doing. Did your eyes see a movie called Selma? And he said, yeah, I seen Selma. Was I related to anyone? No. I'm saying my Ma's side of the family is not black.

Heritage different. This is what left. I don't understand what. Boy, Shad, you as black as they come. You ain't nothing but a Negro, dog. I don't know where. I don't care what you. I understand what your ancestry may say.

But when you step out of that house, you was a little Negro from Ohio, Georgia, wherever you're from. You're claiming Compton now. I don't know. Wherever you're from. You said he's from Compton. He claims it.

No, he doesn't. He'll claim you're Compton. What's wrong with you? He told me I was banned from Compton. I don't know. Wait, when did that happen? He said something like that on social media. I don't remember.

All I'm saying is, Bow Wow, you a Negro. Okay, stop it. All right. Mixed. Please. Now, are you guys planning to watch Mariah Carey's upcoming eight-part docuseries that's coming on E! Mariah's World? Yeah, I'm going to watch that. No.

I'm going to watch it, too, because I'm pretty interested to see what it is that she has to say. But she recently did a cover story for Complex Magazine, and she's talking about a lot of different things. She's actually singing Tupac during the interview, and she's saying that she would have loved to have a song like How Do You Want It, like Casey and JoJo's song. And she said, if I would have had a song like that, I'd live for that. She also goes on to talk about her divorce from Nick Cannon and saying that's not something that she would have wanted to happen ever. She said, but life happens. It was supposed to happen.

It's fine for my children. I wish it hadn't happened that way for me. It was. And she starts singing too much, too little, too late. Now, she said she wasn't initially looking for a new love until Brett Ratner introduced her to a regular normal person. Of course, we all know who that regular normal person is. Billionaire. Who, Nick Cannon? No, that person. Of course, we all know who that regular, normal person is. Billionaire. Who, Nick Cannon?

No, that billionaire. That was after Nick Cannon. First of all, that's not a regular, normal person when they're a billionaire. No, not at all. She got a 35-carat diamond ring after less than a year. Oh, yeah, that's real regular and normal. First of all, I'm watching that eight-part series just because Mariah Carey is such a diva. She is right.

I cannot wait to see this. I wish we was recording her behind the scenes at the Breakfast Club when she was here. Because when she walked in, she had a big entourage, and she came in with her own lighting. Like, literally had her own lighting guy just for her. Yep. Well, Mariah's world will be coming soon. So I'm sure we'll be talking about that as soon as it happens. And that is your Rumor Report.

I'm Angela Yee. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, Charlemagne. Yes. Who are you giving that donkey to? Oh, man, I need a man named Ronnie Music. What? Wow.

What? Wow. Why did you start playing I Need a Girl and I said I need a man? What? I was about to say I need a man named Ronnie Music Jr. to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. All right.

You set me up and hit that instrumental for I Need a Girl as soon as I said I need a man. Alright. We see what you're looking for. Donkey of the Day is up next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Donkey of the Day for Thursday, July 28th goes to a 45-year-old man named Ronnie Music Jr. Now, I need every drug dealer that's listening to The Breakfast Club right now to pay attention because this next story is

going to piss you off. I'm talking about the drug dealers who are out there praying, hoping, wishing they can hit a legal lick to get out the game. I want y'all to pay attention because I want to tell you a classic tale of doing too much. Now, Ronnie Music Jr. won $3 million in a local scratch-off game in

February of 2015. You heard me right. Ronnie Music Jr. won $3 million in a local scratch-off game. Wow. Okay, yeah. Your mama, grandma, auntie, they're going to keep sending you to the store for them scratch-off tickets now after hearing this story. This story is going to make the price of hope sky high. So go on and get ready to get your mom and them scratch-off tickets

and boxes of cigarettes every day for the rest of your life. Now, $3 million is great money. You can live a nice, comfortable existence with $3 million. But for whatever reason, this wasn't enough for Ronnie Music Jr. See, Ronnie got arrested and is facing a maximum of life in prison for investing part of his $3 million lottery winnings into a crystal meth drug ring. Yep, somebody has watched Breaking Bad one too many times. Okay, now when you get some extra money, you should make investments.

In fact, I encourage you to make investments, but this, sir, is an unsound investment strategy. You think? Okay, all right. You invest into the drug game after you up $3 million? Huh? What part of the game is that? Now, investigators revealed that after he won this $3 million, Ronnie Music conspired with others to buy and sell kilograms of crystal meth in Ware County, Georgia, and elsewhere.

It was determined that Ronnie was a source of supply for the meth that he purchased for resale with his own lottery winnings. His co-conspirators were caught trying to sell about 11 pounds of the drug, which has a street value that exceeds half a million dollars, according to federal prosecutors. Now let's flash back to when Ronnie Music Jr. was handed this blessing in the form of the instant game 100 times the money scratch-off ticket,

which he bought from a gas station. When he won the money, he told Fox affiliate WBRCTV, I couldn't believe it, and I still don't believe it. I buy tickets every once in a while. Well, Ronnie Music Jr., when I heard that you used some of that money to invest in a crystal meth ring, I couldn't believe it. And I still don't believe it.

Federal agencies, more than $1 million worth of meth in Arsenal, firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, multiple cars, and more than $600,000 in cash as part of the case. And now Ronnie Music Jr. is facing the music because he faces life in prison. Let me tell you something, people. When you take things for granted, the things you are granted get taken.

If you are bestowed a blessing like winning the lottery, even though I don't feel like God intervenes in games of chance, but either way, Ronnie, you received a blessing, and then you just tied a rock, the biggest rock you could find, to your blessing, ran to the nearest lake, and threw your blessing as far away from you and your life as you could. You about to get life in prison simply for being greedy? As if $3 million wasn't enough?

As if you couldn't find anything positive to invest in? Why didn't you just take that money and sit on it until you figure out what you want to actually do with it? Once again, when you take things for granted, the things you are granted get taken. Please give Ronnie Music Jr. the biggest hee-haw, please. What an idiot. That's stupid. Yeah, very stupid.

No, no, that is stupid, okay? You got $3 million. He thought he was going to flip it. That's that hood conversation. That's that, yo, you know we could flip that, right? This is a white guy. There's still going to be white people in the hood. He's 45.

He should have been growing out of the hood. Definitely breaking bad. Yes, no matter what race he was, he should have been growing out of any type of hood mentality. At 45 years old? Yeah. And you get a $3 million investment at 45, and you say, you know what

I want to do? He didn't know what to do with it. I want to go into the drug game. He probably was nickel and diamond beforehand, and it was like, you know what, this is my major gumbo. He probably does just miss breaking bad, since it went off the air. But you know, you sell drugs to make money. I know. He thought he was going to flip. There's no

drug dealer that he probably even met that had made $3 million. Not at all. You know what I'm saying? Like, they had drugs that were worth a half of, 11 pounds of the drug it said exceeded half a million dollars. Like, you got $3 million. You got more money than these drug dealers that you're investing in.

Like, what's the point? You don't know no better. Alright. You could have gave that to me. I'm about to scratch off today. The Fed seized $600 in cash from all of these different co-conspirators. You had $3 million. At least you got lawyer fees. All right, Ronnie. All right.

Well, just to put it out there, I think the Powerball is over $500 million. So definitely go get a Powerball ticket if you're out there. Yeah, if I win that, I'm definitely going to invest in the weed game. Legally. We should all pool our money together. No. So selfish. All right, well, thank you for that dunk of the day, sir.

Can you imagine if we all won the lottery at one time? And whoever had the ticket, I promise, if it was either one of y'all, you guys would definitely try to run with it. We're going to see who really loves radio if we all win 40 million dollars. We're going to see who really loves radio if we all win 40 million dollars. We're going to see who really loves the radio game, okay? I ain't going nowhere.

I'm going to stay. Yeah, I'm going to stay at home with the ISDN. I'm going to be doing it from the house. I'm going to do it from the house. All right. That was Donka today. Up next is Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice

or any type of advice, you can ask Yee. Maybe you won $3 million and if you need relationship advice or any type of advice. You can ask Yee. Maybe you won $3 million and you don't know what to do with it. I will tell you. Ask me. 800-585-1051. Call or announce The Breakfast Club. Good morning, it's Jeremiah.

It's Wee. That was Jay-Z. Excuse me, missed. And don't forget the iHeartRadio Music Festival presale has been extended. Word. The MasterCard presale is on until 9 p.m. Eastern time tonight. So that means it's like, what, a discount on tickets or what? No, you can get your ticket before anybody else.

You get it before everybody else. So you have a great options then. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. Black men always want a discount. Black men always want a discount over there. And what's the problem with that? Nothing. But I'm going to tell you something.

The iHeartRadio Festival is worth every coin. Absolutely. You're not going to feel bad about spending top dollar for the iHeartRadio Music Festival. I was thinking about buying my mom some tickets, so. All right. You still have a chance to get the best seats in Vegas before anyone else to see Drake, Usher, Pitbull, Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, and much, much, much, much. Bring somebody you love.

Bring somebody you love. And special appearances in spirit, Michael Jackson, Prince, and David Boy. What? In spirit. All right. Well, iHeartRadio.com slash tickets. Write it down. iHeartRadio.com slash tickets.

Now it's time for Ask Yee. You got a question for Yee. You can call her up right now. Hello, who's this? It's Anaisa. Now what's your question for Yee? Hi, I got a question about three of y'all um i recently reconnected with this guy who just recently came back into my life i used to date him in college

and the truth is when i was in college i was very book savvy you know i was always in the book but coming out of my last year of college i realized like it's time for me to party time to have a good time and that's when he kind of started treating me different. So my question is, why is it that men only want to be with chicks when, not that they ain't got nothing going for them, but they just focus on themselves more primarily. And then when they start to have a good time and all that, then they're like, whoa, whoa, I can find this anywhere. Well, now let's keep it real.

You said that he started to treat you differently because you were partying and you wanted to get out of just being in your books. But I'm sure you started to treat him differently, too. True. So it seems like perhaps you telling him that you would rather go out with your friends and go party and do all of that

than spend time with him showed him that he wasn't a priority to you, right? Not necessarily. I mean, you you know he is he is fine like i like this guy a lot he's always treated me good but i was like to myself but you you like him a lot but you didn't want to just settle down and be with him you wanted to go out and have a good time no the truth is i you know i'm 24 years old i'm looking for somebody but i also want to be comfortable in my own skin and And if I want to party or I want to do, you know, you know, they have that meme that says get to a man who can do both.

Like, I want to be that girl who can do both at my own time. Right. So it's not like, so when you go out and party, it's not like you're meeting guys and doing anything like that or dating anybody else. I mean, I'm doing what I'm doing. You're not ready to settle down. All right. So you want to casually date him, but he's not going to treat you like you're his girlfriend because you're not

acting like you're his girlfriend. That's true. Okay. So there you have it. Ain't nothing in the club anyway, so you got a good man, she's that good man. She's 24. If she doesn't want to settle down, she can't force it, but you also can't expect him to give you the benefit of acting like you're his girlfriend when it's convenient for

you. True. Alright, thank you very much. And you're having sex with him with no condom. Oh, no. Trust me, boo. Lies. No. I ain't trying to have no kids yet. Thank you. God know you like your raw. She got off that phone fast. Yeah, she got off that phone fast.

Alright, thank you. ASCII, 805-85-1051. You got a question for Yee, call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Rihanna with Work. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. You got a question for Yee. You can call her now. Hello, who's this? Maria from Atlanta. Maria from the, hey! What's your question for Yee?

I'm ready. My question is, I work with some girls that I was really cool with. We go out together a lot. We were hanging out. But then we had a new girl move down from up top. And she's been in their ear, telling them all this and that. But then she'll come back and she'll tell me stuff that they said. And I'm the type of person, I cut everybody completely off.

I want to know, should I go back to the girls that I was cool with for like a whole year and talk to them and ask them, you know, what's going on? Is this, you know, workable because we all work together? Or can I just continue to cut them off? Well, I think that it is important for you to not just listen to he said, she said. When you find, to find out information on what's going on. I would recommend when things like this happen, for you all to be in the same room together to address the situation.

So get the girl that's going back and forth between you guys and saying things. It's very young and childish of her. But put you all in a room together and bring it all up so you can see what everybody has to say in front of everyone on the spot. Okay, Missy. Mm-hmm. What? Okay.

They're not as mature as I am. Even though I'm the youngest in the bunch, the hardest working in the bunch because I work a lot. And I don't have time to sit down and I know that it's not going to go anywhere because they took it to Facebook. What? They were on Facebook talking bad and pictures that I was tagged in talking about no love, no trust.

I'm like, you don't even know this girl. She only been around for two months and I've been around for like 16 months and I've never changed up on y'all. I think that being that you guys work together, it is a situation that you might want to resolve. It's great. You can cut people off if you don't ever have to see them. But if you're going to be in a work environment that's

hostile, I think you should at least be mature enough to address the situation. Facebook, all of that is immature. You need to let them know, listen, let's get it all out on the table. All right. What's the issue? What do you think that I said about you? What I'm going to tell you what I heard you said about me. Let's just put it all out there. And moving forward, how about we don't talk about each other behind each other's backs? Because it's just immature and childish. But you do need to address it because y'all work together. That's right.

And sometimes these misunderstandings could be solved by communicating. We don't talk to each other. We hear something automatically, we assume it's true, and we go off. And now it's started a whole entire avalanche of events that could have been avoided if you just go right to the person, right to the source and say, what's good? Let's talk.

All right, I can do that. I have to call y'all back next week to let y'all know how much bond money I'm gonna need just in case they don't go. Don't you, but don't go in there hostile. Just say, listen, we work together. I don't want to have these issues, so let's speak. We might need a mediator like Charlamagne because...

I don't know if that's going to work. Baby, I'll be there for you, baby. You tell me where I need to be. That might make it worse. That might make it worse. You tell me where I need to be. And can I record it for my Snapchat? You'll definitely have to fight if you bring Charlamagne as a mediator.

All right. Ask Yee 805-85-1051 if you got a question for Yee. Sometimes a fade resolves a situation. I say it all the time. Five minutes and then y'all

be friends again. Yeah, you think that with women and men? Yes. And nobody can last five minutes. Good 35 seconds. Okay.

35 seconds of scrapping you good. Yee, we got rumors coming up. Yes, we'll talk about some more about Joe Button and he's talking about Drake all up in his DMs He's on your good. Eve, we got rumors coming up. Yes, we'll talk about some more about Joe Button. And he's talking about Drake all up in his DMs where it goes down.

All right. Also, Amari Stoudemire has retired, but we'll tell you what he did so that he could retire with the team that he loves. Okay, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. The rumor report. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, we all love the speech that Michelle Obama gave at the Democratic National Convention. And this particular part of her speech actually had a lot of people talking online.

I wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves. Right. She goes on to talk about watching her two daughters playing with their dogs on the White House lawn. Well, Bill O'Reilly, for some reason, wanted to defend that slaves built the White House. Here's what he said. Slaves did participate in the construction of the White House. Records show about 400 payments made to slave masters between 795 and 1801. Slaves that worked there were well fed and had decent lodgings provided by the government, which stopped hiring slave labor in 1802.

However, the feds did not forbid subcontractors from using slave labor. That's great. What was his point? He actually was agreeing with Michelle Obama, but I think what got everybody so upset was the fact that he said the slaves had decent lodging and they were well paid. Dad, they were slaves. Okay? They weren't getting paid money.

They were forced to work. Hello? I don't understand how you can justify. Okay, great. You gave me a sandwich. Yeah, I mean, no, it wasn't more than a sandwich. It don't understand how you can justify. Okay, great. You gave me a sandwich. No, it wasn't more than a sandwich. It was actually meat from what he said. But it doesn't matter

what you're feeding me or where I'm staying if you're enslaving me. If you're making me do it. He did open his show yesterday trying to defend it because people were going off and he said, it's a given that slavery is an abomination, but reporting the story behind Mrs. Obama's very valid points does not diminish the horror of enslavement

as these dishonest critics allege. I mean, that is true though. It doesn't. It doesn't, like, it doesn't diminish the horror of enslavement by him saying they had decent lodging and good food. But I don't even understand the point of him. Yeah, why would you say that? It don't matter. There's no purpose to say that. I don't care what's on the menu. It was no purpose and even you

trying to, you know, yeah, slaves did build it, but they got good food and they got a no place to say that. I don't care what's on the menu. It was no purpose. And even you trying to. Sounds like a nigga that, okay. Yeah, slaves did build it. But they got good food and they got a nice place to stay. Yeah. Yeah, I don't care what's on the menu or, you know, what hotel you stayed at during slavery. All right. Amari Stoudemire has retired after 14 seasons in the NBA. And he signed a one-day contract so that he could retire as a Knick.

I'm confused about that. He had his best years in Phoenix. So I don't know why he could retire as a Knick. I'm confused about that. He had his best years in Phoenix. So I don't know why he would retire as a Knick. I mean, New York is one of the best cities in the world. But, I mean, you played your best season in Phoenix. Yeah, I don't know. He just wanted to retire as a Knick. I mean, I would probably choose New York over Phoenix, too.

Why? You played your best season there. You were all-star there. I think it means more when you get your jersey retired in the Garden. I would think it means more to get your jersey retired in the Garden than— I don't know. I don't know if they're going to retire his jersey. They're not going to retire his jersey.

Nah, they shouldn't. No, I would. I paid him $100 million. I'm going to leave it to something. Nobody else can wear this jersey after I done paid $100 million for it. Okay? We're keeping this. This is ours.

They're not retiring that jersey. All right. Now, Joe Button recently did—we talked about earlier how he rolled up to the house of the kids that were at his house, you know, harassing him and went and talked to their parents. Well, he also did another interview where he talks about Drake in his DMs. All right. Here's what he had to say. What is wrong with waffleaffle Color Negroes? You know, he started off with, I would like to formally invite you to

one of my four Madison Square Garden shows. You and however many people you would like to bring. Then after that it said, I bet you can't release 25 disc

records between now and then. So then there was the laughing emoji. So I talk, I use that emoji with my friends. I don't know if he's laughing or joking at this point. And then he followed that with, if you can, I will give you $10,000

LOL. And then it said Joey with a bunch of exclamation points. I didn't know how to take that. He should do it. You think this was malicious or you think it was friendly?

It was malicious. It sounded like a polite fade. It sounded like a nice Canadian fade. You come to my concert. Why he acted like $10,000 was a lot

for Joe Button too. I'll give you $10,000 if you put out 25 diss songs. That's a lot of work for $10,000. $10,000 is a lot for everybody. If I saw that video of them kids in Joe's driveway I would say a nice $10,000 if you put out 25 diss songs. That's a lot of work for $10,000. $10,000 is a lot for everybody. If I saw that video of them kids in Joe's driveway,

I would say a nice $10,000 would be a lot for Joe, too. I would have said the same thing. I get it. Well, Joe Button said he wasn't dressed up to par that day. He was just, you know, just woke up. What about the rest of his life, though? Everything else around him. All right. Well, that is your Rumor Report. I'm Angela, though? Everything else surrounding him. All right.

Well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, shout to our family at Revolt. We'll see you guys tomorrow.

Everybody else, People's Choice mixes up next. You want to hear something at DJ Envy. We're going to start the mix off with a world premiere.

And by the way, I just thought about this. Gambling with Joe Buttons means nothing because he still owes me and Envy $1,000. He definitely still does. All right. He owes Envy $1,000. He definitely still does.

All right, he owes Envy $1,000, he owes me $1,000 because he lost the hollow to Don and we told him he was going to lose the hollow to Don. That's right. So betting him $10,000 means nothing. Yeah, good luck getting that money. Exactly. Well, let's get into a world premiere. It's DJ Khaled, Do You Mind?
