we'll discuss with them alright when we come back Teslin Figueroa will be joining us for front page news so don't move it's the breakfast club on BET everybody it's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha Guy we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club on BET. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. All right.

Now, let's jump right into Joe Biden. Now, what's going on with Joe Biden now, Tess? Good morning, by the way. Good morning, DJ Envy. And good morning, beautiful. How are you? Good morning. When you say now, I don't know if you're talking to me or Charlamagne.

It's always me. Both of you. gotta i gotta make sure i'm being fair yeah just leave me out okay yeah you good morning good morning well uh pro-reparation activists say that president biden is taking black voters for granted and losing their support by remaining silent and not backing reparations for black Americans as a way to make amends for slavery and racism. Now Biden is facing increased pressure to use his authority to either support legislation or enact proposals that would advance efforts to give out reparations, especially as the campaign for cities and states put themselves in position to pay reparations at a more local level.

As we know, that is continuing. That is gaining momentum all over the country. Now, several Democrats in Congress have backed a bill establishing a commission to study and develop reparations. But the White House has previously previously indicated that he does support the study, but has done nothing to actually make it happen to create a commission as i mentioned a little moment ago at the state level new york and california are the only states that have passed bills to formally create a commission to support reparations so i i just want to kind of throw it out here guys you know we've seen this movement continue to get louder and louder and louder charlemagne and i think you know folks

think that they're just they're going to sit down and be quiet and that's just not the case uh they don't give a damn if uh democrats are running if it's an open primary a closed primary they could care less if you say well you're helping trump this movement is continuing to get louder and louder and ignoring it is not a good thing what are your thoughts oh you know i'm no fan of uh joe biden or his administration but i wonder uh i wonder if joe is is really blowing off black voters are is joe not doing what they want in regards to reparations because what i mean by that is there's a lot of people you know who appointed different things that they say joe biden has done for black people i don't know if it's strictly for black people but things that have assisted black people

but people may not care about any of those things because their questions about reparations aren't being answered. What do you think? I think, well, first, I feel like before the reparations conversation, a lot of people gave up on Biden way before that. So I think that this is just like another trigger point. Yeah, I don't think we were ever on Biden. Yeah, I don't think. We just had no choice. Yeah, I feel like we didn't have a choice. But i also think it's so sad to say in my opinion i

know like a lot of conversations i had once the biden administration got elected people now feel like there's there's no point in voting anymore and that was before reparations conversation but we've been having this conversation yeah people definitely feel like i don't think that it's specifically biden i think it's politicians in general. Yeah, it's the system. Yeah, from the local level to the federal level. But I don't see the reparations thing happening. I don't know why we're caught up on it. Well, I mean, it's happening now. Well, just to be fair about it, it's happening now.

You know, it happened in... Now, people have disagreements on what reparations should be. Should it be cash? Should it be land? Should it be funding and education? But to say it's not happening, it's happening now in San Francisco. They were a city that funded policy

to help local black residents. Chicago also became the first U.S. city to fund a reparations package, giving money to people that qualify for home repairs, property down payments, and so forth. And California just established a task force. So it is happening at the local and state level. How it happens is, you know, there's still debate

about that, but it's happening. And so the federal government cannot just continue just to ignore it. And again, people that support reparations, they've been talking about this for over 50 years, but there's a new movement. They got really active and loud, i would say uh in 2015 14 16 and so on they got really aggressive and brought their conversation to the main stage uh in the 2016 2020 election and so it's not going anywhere yeah i think the federal government will continue to ignore it until uh they can they can show how politically it's going to help them win a national election so it's time to vote again yeah yeah. Yeah. I mean, but are we mad about that? That's what politicians do.

So it's like, don't we use this to kind of pin them in the corner the same way we did with him getting a black woman on a ticket? I don't know if mad is the right word. I'm not, I don't know if I'm mad about it. I understand it. But like, you know, like I said, I don't, I think they'll continue to ignore it until they can figure out how it helps them on a national level to be able to win an election. All right.

Well, that is front page news. Teslin, we'll see you in a couple of minutes. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, something's on your mind, you need to vent, whatever it may be. Again, 800-585-1051. Call us up right now. Phone lines are wide open.

Listen, by the administration, Ben let a lot of us down when they started talking about this student debt relief thing. They only set us up just to

throw us away again, you know? So I wouldn't be surprised if nothing they do, bro. For real. As far as what? As far as reparations or anything like that, man. He did erase $130 million in student loans for 7,400 borrowers. I read that yesterday.

Oh, 7,400? Yeah, 7,400 borrowers. So $130 million in student, 7,400. Yeah, 7,400 borrowers. So, $130 million in student loans. I'm on the wait list. They said, you're on the wait list? Uh-huh, I signed up. I'm on the wait list. Yeah, yes, I did.

I'm on the wait list. Yeah, my wife and I are still on the wait list, too. Oh, okay. I just, I think, can it be a thing, too, of, like, you can't do everything at once? Like, when things like this get started, like, the rollout of the student loan debt relief and stuff like that? Yeah. I mean, he said, and then, I don't't know the wording be interesting too because like once again yesterday they said

it says the biden administration said tuesday it would forgive 130 million in student loans for borrowers does that mean it's done yeah i gotta get it done you know what i mean i'll tell y'all right now no it's still emailing me so mine mine ain't forgiving hello who's this gloria hey gloria get it off your chest uh yes um i'd like to shout out a book and it is called yes and it is called see you at the station that must be your book uh uh i wish no it is a book from a friend.

Oh, boy. The Kindle is $2.99. Paperback is $12.99. Okay.

Okay. You might check that out. I'm always looking for a good read. And also, I think they read that there was a study that said that most people pay off their student loans when they're like 40 years old. I don't plan on... Never mind. I don't know if I can say it on the radio.

What you mean? You say you don't plan on paying them off ever? That's not true. You get the bag, you're going to do it. I just feel like i shouldn't have had to pay that amount of money anyway to go to college i love my hbc you don't shout out to delaware state university but i don't think anybody should be in that much of debt to try and better yourself that's crazy if i was joe biden i don't forgave delaware state university immediately

that's where he's from i thought we had the like you know what i mean like the little family hookup yeah i'm still on the wait list but then my people over there they have a really good team on the Biden administration they do a lot for like coordinating with black media so if y'all listening to this bump me up on the list they put us on the holiday party together they well I can't

what is all that throwing parties at the White House going to do I don't know I never made it to one the one that I flew in to go to I was late and I couldn't go in I got The one that I flew in to go to, I was late and I couldn't go in. I got invited to one. I decided not to go. Why? What's the point? I don't want to be in there rubbing elbows with them people and you know, I feel like, I don't want to

be on the radio criticizing them but getting in there rubbing elbows with them at the same time. That's what politics is though. But it's not rubbing elbows. It's just your own God in there. It's just the media people in there. Joe Biden, if you want to take a picture, it was like Santa. He was in a room.

You got to wait in line. I didn't do that. You know what I mean? That's what I don't like. I want them to have just media days and they invite all media. Why it got to be

a black media and then a white media? It's like, no. They have the pressure at the White House all the time. But not for picture ops so that you can actually

mingle and have conversations. That's what it should be. He doesn't want a picture. He's not posting that on the gram if he doesn't want to even go to the holiday party where there's an open bar. I'm cool. God bless everybody. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you need to vet, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. So we accept it because we don't know anybody. I think politicians know how powerful the black vote is. I don't think that we have to hold it to show that.

I just think that we have to rally around things that actually make sense. I think that that is one of the fall-offs. Yeah, we need to be more strategic with our vote. And we have to start voting on interest. But I do know sitting out elections is not the key. No, it's not the key. But I do feel like when they do need our vote, they will come in every church.

They'll pop up at places that you would never expect them to. They'll come on the breakfast club. They'll come on all these media outlets. I don't even think they do that no more. But they don't do that no more. Once they get the vote, they don't have it. I think they just do fish fries at the White House. And invite, you know, Yo Gotti and his crew to go there.

Not have fish fries at the White House. That's what I think they do now. That's what it looks like. What a space table. All right, this is Anisha. Oh, I didn't know you was on the phone. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning. Get it off your chest, mama. Hey, I just wanted to thank God for waking me up, blessing me with the job that I got. My children, their health, my health. It's just a beautiful day. Although I heard you guys were talking about the reparations. I don't think we're going to get those, but I think we're in a good day and age right now for black people

if we keep moving towards what we need to move towards. What is it we should be moving towards, ma'am? I think we should be moving towards a lot more freedom. I think I have a lot. This is a deep conversation for me. I couldn't explain it over the last five seconds

or whatever. I know you guys have other callers calling in. We appreciate you. I definitely think we need to stand up a little bit more. Thank you guys for taking my call. Yes, ma'am. Thank you, mama. All right.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Now, Lauren, we got rumors on the way. What are we talking about? Give us a little tease. We are talking about Bronny James. LeBron James and his family had a major health scare yesterday with Bronny.

He was rushed to the ICU. So, yeah, we got some stuff to talk about today. All right, we'll get to that next. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. Hey, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Lauren LaRosa. She's our guest host today. And she got her nine-year-old niece in here, knowing that this room is not appropriate for a nine-year-old. My niece just said to me she's changing her room aesthetic

for her birthday. I did hear her say that. Wow, I love that. It caught me off guard. I said, aesthetic? Where'd you learn that at? Lauren gave her $20 in ones, too, to throw in this room today. Jesus Christ. I mean, who's she gonna throw that at? I have no idea. I've seen videos of you. I guess you

were trying to twerk you've never seen that young delaware i did okay that's never happened that's not true no he drops into the floor he doesn't twerk he drops into the floor okay okay my bad my bad let me put some respect on your name and your mega knees put some respect on my knees yeah the mega knees i got you i got you all right well let's get to the rumors let's go i think a lot of people will recognize the voice in the name on the breakfast club lauren came in hot you know i came in telling the truth the lauren came in hot always gets me um so look le, LeBron James and his family, they have a lot going on right now. Bronny James was hospitalized yesterday for cardiac arrest.

So he was at USC practicing. And at some point during that practice, he felt unconscious. There was a police call that came in that there was a young male unconscious that needed to be transported to the hospital. They transported him to the ICU. Now, there are some updates to this. He did only spend one day in the ICU. So I think that, you know, that's something that it shows signs that, you know what I mean, that it's not as bad, even though this is really bad.

But tests are still being run to determine what was the cause of the cardiac arrest. And I just, you know, like he's so young. 18, right? Yes. tests are still being run to determine what was the cause of the cardiac arrest and i just you know like he's so young 18 right yes like i know lebron and savannah are probably like going insane but you know there are reports that at this point they're a little bit you know relieved and they're optimistic because of things like he was moved out of the icu after one day and you know but determining what happened is going to be everything worst worst feeling in the world i'm sure uh for any parent you know i mean because as parents you know our job is to protect and our job is to provide but when things like that happen to our kids and we can't do anything like you can't do neither only thing

you can do is you know leave it up to the doctors it's in their hands you know take care of your child oh my god i wouldn't wish that on nobody man something has changed though because people are having more and more strokes or is it just we're noticing it more but i feel like healthy people are having more and more strokes and younger people which is very scary well i mean we don't even really know what caused his heart to stop you know what i mean so like we don't know what it is so we don't know if it was because of something that was unhealthy if it was something sudden because of you know i don't know like too much like pressure or whatever he was doing yeah we don't know but that's what i'm saying it's scary because of something that was unhealthy, if it was something sudden, because of, you know, I don't know, like too much pressure or whatever he was doing at the time. Yeah, we don't know. But that's what I'm saying.

It's scary because something like that could just happen. It doesn't have to be, you know, where it develops after a certain amount of time. It could just happen. Yeah, you know, it's sad though. I mean, you know, growing up, I've definitely had, you know, friends who, you know, had kids who were like 16, 17.

One in particular, I'm thinking about just out jogging and, you know, had a cardiac arrest like 16, 17. One in particular I'm thinking about just out jogging and had a cardiac arrest and died. Wow. So things like that do happen. I don't hear it like how we hear it now. Can you guys imagine you get the phone call,

you hear a cardiac arrest, unconscious, and you know what I mean? I do not want that call as a parent. Not at all. I can't imagine it at all. Well, sending some prayers out for Bronnie, LeBron, Savannah.

The whole James family. Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. And I can't imagine it. Well, sending some prayers out for Bronnie, LeBron, Savannah. The whole James family. Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. And then next, we're going to move down to Atlanta. Usher. So you guys remember Usher caused all that trouble with Keke Palmer. He's been going for years. Yeah.

So it's not his first rodeo. You sound upset. You haven't even made it to the Usher show yet. Why are you upset? I'm just listening to the story. So we have some exclusive video. Shout out to Freddie O the Usher show yet. Why are you upset? I'm just listening to the story. So we have some exclusive video. Shout out to Fredio of Usher. He was at

his Usher's New Look organization's sixth annual benefit called Usher's Disruptivators. Usher's New Look Disruptivators Summit. So this summit raises money for kids that are like impoverished um you know helping

them have a new look on life um they raised 75 000 but a part of this whole like get together was a private usher experience and during this experience usher got up and told a few jokes and one of them really went over well with the crowd listen to this but one thing that make me laugh is, you know, I got this new handle now. I guess I'm the domestic terrorist. I'm like, really? Is your girl wanting to take a picture? No. Vegas ain't been so bad for me, man.

You know, we call Usher a lot of things. We call him an icon. We call him a living legend. We call him one of the best R&B singers to ever do it. But now we got to add another title to his name, and that's Monster. What a monster. Domestic terrorist. Only a monster would play innocent as if he doesn't know how he got that reputation.

At a benefit for impoverished kids. Okay. He was definitely joking, but I think he knows. He knows his body. Of course he knows. Usher knows his body. This man not telling us nothing we don't know.

He said, don't leave your girl around me. And I figured out the key to keep Usher from trying your woman. Usher has to be happy. We always quote that line, don't leave your girl around me, but that song,

You Don't Have to Call, is a bounce back song. Usher was trying to bounce back after a breakup or something, so he's telling the girl, you don't have to call. I'm going to song. Usher was trying to bounce back after a breakup or something. He's telling the girl, you don't have to call. I'm going to go out and I'm going to have fun. I'm going to be all right tonight. He's going out with his boys, but what he was doing is he was going out to project pain on the other people.

Since he was hurt, he wanted to go out and take somebody's girl so he could hurt that person. Got you. You really broke this down, huh? Yes. He's trying to think of ways that when he goes, he's okay. I ain't worried about it. I already told y'all what's going to happen when I go to the Usher contest. So Usher comes, he grabs your wife's hand and starts singing what you're going to do.

I already told y'all, he's going to be serenading the both of us. You're going to grab his hand and then the meganese is going to hit you. You're going to drop it? Nope. My wife's going to grab one hand and I'm going to grab the other hand. And he's going to be serenading the both of us. Okay. You're going to have a threesome.

Okay. Ain't going to be no threesome. Black is your room report. I like Usher too. Okay. Cute little threesome too We know what we should do We should have a men's night out at a Usher show So we buy all the tickets And nothing but men go

Right in the VIP area where he walks by The whole crowd is nothing but men And then see what he does That's right We want the same show Keep that same energy. You don't have to. You don't want to set off the letter.

Thank you. Thank you. Now let's jump right into it. Let's start with sports. If you haven't heard, Jalen Brown, he reached a five-year deal with the Boston Celtics. $304 million for five years. It's the richest deal in NBA history. Listen, I respect Jalen Brown. He is a super solid NBA player.

I want everybody to get their money. But how did the Celtics justify giving him a Supermax deal and making him the richest player in NBA history? He's the second best player on the Celtics. Is he top ten in the league? Would I put Jalen Brown top ten in the league? Would you put him top ten? No, not top ten.

I wouldn't put him top ten in the league. Don't someone that go for celebrity, though? Because celebrity-wise, he's a big... Jalen Brown's a big celebrity? Name-wise, yes, he's a big... Yellow Brown's a big celebrity? Name-wise, yes. He's a very recognizable guy. I don't know if it's Jason Tatum. Yeah, but Celtics ain't paying you because you a good celebrity.

They paying you for what you do on the court. You know what I mean? Respect to the brother. You salute the agents and everybody, but damn. Could this be part of reparations, how much they're paying? Because the Saudi Arabian club just paid the soccer player M.B.U.P.A.P.I. a billion dollars. $1.1 billion. $776 million salary and $332 million transfer fee.

What the hell do I have to do with reparations? I don't know. They just give him money like crazy. I don't know. I'm just, I don't know. Man, shut up. He's not even black. Is M.B.U.P.A.P.I. not black, is he?

He's brown. Yes, he's black. Is he? Oh, he is? M.B.U.P.A.P.I. is black, yeah. Oh, okay. Jalen Brown is 26. Saudi Arabian.

It's a new club soccer team. I can't imagine having that much money at 26. Like, I don't even know what I would do. What, $304 million? Yes. The other dude just got $1.1 billion. Listen, Lauren. How old is he?

He's older, right? How old is he? No, I'm just talking about he's 22 22 years old he got 1.1 billion dollars Lauren y'all I don't know

what I've been doing my whole life how are this is insane I wouldn't know you need to play some sports I don't know I don't

that didn't work out well who's all the football players football that's insane football soccer now talk about Saquon now talk about Saquon

he broke compared to everybody yeah he did a one year 11 million dollar deal I feel bad about Saquon. He broke compared to everybody. He did a one year $11 million deal. I feel bad for Saquon. Petty $11 million. I don't even want to talk about your numbers. We're talking about Jalen Brown and

Baku's numbers. I can't talk about that. I can't talk about Saquon after I just said $304 and $1.1 billion. Saquon, he played basketball or football. Soccer. He does play basketball or football. Soccer. He does play football, not football. That's right.

All right, Tess. What else we got? What else we talking about? Sorry, Tess. No problem. We're transitioning to the working class. After we talked about those billion dollar contracts, I wanted to talk a minute about, you'll appreciate this, DJ Envy, about property. And the lowest cost rent for black americans is in rhode island now this finding is

based upon the rent to income ratio certainly people that don't have a billion dollars they wanted to figure out who has the most you know where can you live uh that's the most affordable now rent to debt ratio for those who don't know is your gross monthly income a tenant pays to pay the rent compared to what you have to pay out in in simple terms now the average uh resident in rhode island spends about 1066 a month on rent which is about 20 of their gross monthly income now it's followed by san antonio texas hartford connecticut indianapolis and atlanta as the five most affordable rent cities for black Americans. Now, high prices combined with rising mortgage rates have priced many would-be buyers out of the market. That means many more Americans are renting and renting for longer periods of time.

Now, the increased demand for rental units has caused the prices to go up as well. So just wanted to give you a couple of tips on how to make your rent more affordable. Number one, negotiate with the landlord when it's time to renew the lease as the landlord wants to keep good renters so giving tenants possible leverage was that gives tenants possible leverage so see how that works out two you can sign a longer lease if your landlord allows that for a 1.5 year or two year lease see if that that works. If you decide to move, wait until the fall or winter because the demand is lower than the summer. Also, refer friends. Some apartment complexes

offer a cash bonus for that. Or you can relocate. Living downtown in those areas costs a little bit more, so live out a little bit further. You can also downgrade to a smaller unit or find a roommate to split the costs. I've never heard that you can also downgrade to a smaller unit or find a roommate to split the costs i've never heard that you can negotiate with your landlord yeah of course you can

of course you can yeah do it all the time that's the first thing you should do if somebody says rent is 1500 you know you could say i'll pay 1300 or 1400 nine times out of ten if they'll they'll look to negotiate if they can't find somebody you can do do that when you rent a house, though, right? Not necessarily when you rent an apartment or something, right? You do any rent apartment as well. Really? Yeah. You can always ask the answer.

May or may not be no. They also tell you to Google apartments or look to see what's competitive in your area. So if you're able to say, you know, I can move across the street for $25 less, $50 less, they may give you some leverage. It doesn't hurt to ask. Yeah, I'm with Lauren. I've never been able to negotiate you know i can move across the street for 25 less 50 less they may give you some leverage it doesn't hurt to ask yeah i'm with i'm with lauren i've never been able to negotiate a price i've i've asked him to stall me out stall me out man you know i'm saying i'm gonna be late this month you know give me a couple extra days you know no my daughter stays in the building in the city we negotiated that for anybody that stays in any of my properties people negotiate that

and like you said if somebody's a good tenant, you'd rather keep that good tenant in there at a lower rate than a new tenant in there that's going to F up your property. Yeah. That's right.

And the cost of getting somebody else in and switching all that much rather than just... Repainting and fixing up the house. Yeah. Sometimes it just makes sense to have a good tenant.

Keep a good tenant. Y'all might be on to something. We got to make some calls. Yeah, because you're unemployed, Mara. You're going to have to... L.A. rent is so crazy. Yeah, you're an, Lauren. You're going to have to. LA rent is so crazy. Yeah, you're an entrepreneur now. Oh, that's ridiculous.

Oh, my God. You're going to have to tell them, like, look, I just recently walked away from my job. I don't want to tell my landlord. They're going to be like, wait, so can you afford to live here? I'm an entrepreneur now. I can't afford to live here, but not at the rate I was paid. Listen, if I say entrepreneur to my white landlords, they probably feel like, let me just give it to her for reparation.

So maybe that might work. Maybe. All right. Well, that is front page news. And listen, make sure you subscribe to this Great Shot No Chaser podcast with Tezlyn Figueroa on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network and follow Tez on all social media platforms at Tezlyn Figueroa. All right.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That is the question.

Do you remember a picture of how you felt in high school or middle school and was like, why did my friends make me look like this? I remember seeing this picture of Charlemagne where he arched his eyebrows, and he looked like The Rock. You know how The Rock's eyebrows go up like that? That's what it looked like to me. Well, I got gassed up, you know what I'm saying?

And I wasn't even in high school then. I was actually doing telemarketing. I used to be the guy that would call your house and try to sell you 12 CDs for a penny, working at, what was that, BMG Publishing or whatever? I remember them. Yeah, and two two women i worked with uh nina and shamira they gassed me up shanaira nina and shanaira because they told me i look like tupac and they said tupac gets his eyebrows arched did you move your hat back just now so we could see that they're no longer arched

well yeah they're not ours i have amazing eyebrows come on come on lauren no they are there i was looking they're there so i never had to arch them. Okay, I never had. I didn't. I did, but I did because they gassed me up to do it. That's all. By the way, true story. The other day I was walking into the drugstore and this white dude, a young white dude driving a Chrysler 500 and he slammed on

brakes and he goes, yo, aren't you famous? I go, no. And he goes, you look like that one guy. And I go, who? Charlamagne? He goes, no, Tupac famous? I go, no. And he goes, you look like that one guy. And I go, who, Charlamagne? He goes, no, Tupac. That let me know how slow people are. Yo, shut up, man. That was on Monday.

Shut up. I promise. I don't even want to promise to God because God knows. God was there. Why do you think Tupac was walking in? You said CBS? Exactly. That's my point. People are slow, Lauren.

Lauren, he's the lie. Let me ask you a question, Charlamagne. You also put Queensbridge on the side of your hair. QBC. I was a fan of QBC. I was a fan of Queensbridge music. And that's where I used to hustle at and hang at. That's what we used to call it. We used to call it Queensbridge.

But that was for a reason, though. That's because the road was actually called I think it was Queen Esther Lane. Something like that. So it was just slang. But we were fans of the Queensbridge music. I'm glad you made it out of that era. That was a time it seems like. Absolutely.

So am I. 100%. What about you, Lauren? I mean, yeah, we used to do double collar shirts, like the Aeropostale collar shirts with beads up our arms, everything matching down, eyeshadow, with nothing else. No other makeup, just eyeshadow on your face. It was bad. In high school, nobody knows what they doing, for real.

We all look crazy in high school. Leg warmers. Oh, my God. There's nothing wrong with a flat top. You had gel in your flat top, and you had it curly because you wanted to be a member of the barge. I need to see this. That doesn't exist.

All right. We got rules on the way. You signed that bad contract. What we talking about? HL. Why everyone was upset about this new Netflix doc. A story of women in hip hop. Got the people mad.

All right. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is joining us. She's our guest host for today. And yes, happy Wednesday and let's get to the rumors.

Lauren LaRosa. I've been here for a little bit. I've been here for a minute. Move back away. Tell her. I think a lot of people will recognize the voice in the name. On The Breakfast Club. Lauren came in hot. You know, I came in telling the truth.

So Netflix dropped a trailer for a new documentary. It's called Ladies First, A Story of Women in Hip Hop. I want to play the audio first because I want you guys to hear some of the women that are featured in the clip. And then I'll get into why people are very upset about this trailer. What people mad about. OK, so in that trailer, you hear and you see I Spice, Lotto, Kim, Young M.A., City Girls, Tierra Whack, Cash Style, all amazing bomb, you know, female artists. People are upset, though, because they feel like if we're celebrating 50 years of hip-hop, right, there are so many more, like, I set the tone for this.

Legends. MC Lyte, Queen Latifah. Yes. Yeah, of course. People are throwing out... Nicki Minaj. They're asking, where's Nicki? Where's Lauryn Hill?

Where's Missy? Where's Left Eye? Where's Wanda D? Foxy, Salt-N-Pepa. There's a lot of people. Gangsta Boo. So basically, they focused on the now instead of the forever. I mean, but also, too-N-Pepa. There's a lot of people. Gangsta boo. So basically they focused on the now instead of the forever. I mean, but also too, this is only a trailer.

So from the trailer, what it seems like they used a lot of the, you do get some shots of like Kim and, you know, but they use a lot of the newer girls to kind of put it out there. And maybe it's because those women are the women that people of today know. Yeah, but even if you're doing a trailer and you're calling it the 50 years of hip-hop you can't just put the the women of the day like y'all you gotta put the originators especially when some of these people that are you know still have have done things that other people haven't done you know what i mean like you got to put nikki minaj on there you got to put missy elliott the brat is the first female

solo artist to go platinum you got to put salt and pepper on there you got to see light it's a big year for MC Lyte. She just had her whole moment at the BET Awards. I mean, she's a legend. Yeah, it's just, I mean, so people are really upset about it. They instantly started calling

Netflix out about it. People are saying, you know, there are women who literally carved out the space for women in hip hop with their bare hands and you guys just overlook them. Well, they're saying Queen Latifah and MC Lyte are in the dock.

That's what they just hit me and said. Yeah, but if you call it the 50 years... I mean, I'm sure they're in the dock, but if you call it the 50 years of female hip-hop, you have to show the forever.

You got to leave with them. Yeah, and I don't know if maybe producers are thinking let's put, like I said, the newer girls first or do this, honestly get people a little bit...

Let's shake the room so people will then watch it to see who's there, who's not so they can have an opinion. But, you know... They might do this, get people a little bit, you know, let's shake the room so people will then watch it to see who's there, who's not, so they can have an opinion. But, you know. They might do this to get people talking. I really feel that way nowadays. I feel like a lot of these corporations, they do things like this just to get people talking because now everybody's aware this doc is coming out. Correct.

Right. Because now I want to watch it to see what homage they pay or don't. But, you know, speaking of rap and legends, Boosie posted a photo side by side of him and Jay-Z, and he had a very interesting caption. He said, I F with Jigga, but, you know, this is facts.

Street niggas in the South don't put hove over badass. That's subjective, but, you know, I don't necessarily agree with that because there's plenty of street dudes from there's plenty of street rappers from the south that put hove you know at number one like whether it's wayne whether it's a ti whether it's a gz or ross i'm sure they'll all tell you different but if you're talking about one of the points i saw

online was like if you're talking about you know artists from a certain region in the South, there's a lot of other people that I think people will go to before Boosie. Although Boosie culturally is very iconic, I think that people have waned. There's so many different people that people would go to first. And that's a lot of the argument right now is like... But even where Boosie from, people might tell you, you know, Soulja Slim is their guy. You know, like that's just, that's regional. But yeah, I don't necessarily

agree with that statement Boosie made. Scream dude. And then it's generational too. It's generational. You know what I mean? It's also regional. Like you said,

it's regional. It's where people are from. By the way, even generational, there's a generation right now that wouldn't put Boosie as their number one from the South.

Who's your top five from the South? From the South? Mm-hmm. Scarface, Killer mike andre 3000 ti jeezy for me personally that's my personal people minus outcast jeezy ti gotta say face and i don't know who my fifth would be. And it's tough too though, right? Because you say $180,000, but I wouldn't want to put Outkast as a group as well. That's why I said Outkast.

You know what I mean? I wouldn't want to put Outkast as a group. People are arguing heavy for T.I. too. Oh, come on, man. People are saying Boosie is not even standing next to T.I., so how can he sit next to him? T.I. in my top five, period, of all time. Catalog goes crazy. Catalog goes crazy.

Talk to him lauren uh-huh from i'm serious the trap music the urban legend the king the paper trails i play with tip man well we also are gonna um you know talk a little bit about you know sobriety today so ari lennox uh posted a photo with a pretty long caption to sum sum it up, she says she's celebrating seven months sober. Is it Ari Lennox or Ari Lennox? I call her Ari Lennox. Is it Ari Lennox? I don't know. I'm just asking. I'm sorry if I'm saying your name wrong, baby, because I love you.

You don't love her that much. I do. You know why? Ari Fletcher. No, no, no. I am thinking about Ari Fletcher. And I think it is Ari Lennox. I'm sorry. You love her so much that you're confusing her with Ari Fletcher. I didn't confuse her. no, no, no, no. I am thinking about Ari Fletcher. And I think it is Eric Lennox. I'm sorry. You love her so much. You're confusing her with Ari Fletcher. I didn't confuse her.

Okay. We're not going to do this today. So she says she's seven months sober. Sober from drinking. And she says that one of the biggest things here is that she's not having hangovers. There's no more, you know, embarrassment. And she's also been a year sober from sex. I haven't had no sex

that's Ari where she get come from that wasn't Ari no that's not Ari but we needed we needed we needed to throw that it's like

it's like when you texting somebody and you gotta put the gift because like you just need the emotion we need to put that because a year with no sex is crazy

but shout out to her though shout out to her on the sobriety path. Alright, well that is your rumor report. Now Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to? Man, four after the hour, we need to talk to you about a sucker named Ian Atkinson. He's from Boston. He needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him

Try it for free at zip recruiter.com slash breakfast. I was donkey up the day. Maybe. Damn. He hard. It's time for donkey of the day. I'm on my way to the Who got the donkey of the day today? Well, my good sister, Jess Hilarious, donkey of the day for Wednesday, July 26,

goes to a 33-year-old Boston man named Ian Atkinson. Ian Atkinson is currently being held without bail in a Boston jail because he is 100% grade A sucker. He's being charged with assault and battery, causing serious bodily injury and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. The dangerous weapon was a car. A car, as they say in Boston. Would you like to hear more?

Let's go to NBC10 for the report, please. Singing and gardening. Interrupted by a violent beating. This cell phone video shows what police say happened to a 59 year old woman in Boston earlier this month after she failed to say two words good morning. The defendants accused her of not saying good morning to him. I quote from the police report when people say good morning to you you should say hi you crazy bitch. You can see just how long the attack goes on in this surveillance video

before the suspect takes off from Balsam Street, almost hitting her with his car as he drives away. Broke her nose. 33-year-old Ian Atkinson of Dorchester is now under arrest, charged with assault and battery. Prosecutors say he wasn't hard to find because he was already wearing a GPS monitoring device. His criminal history includes other assault and drug-related charges.

Ian Atkinson, a.k.a. Stone Cold Bitch Austin, beat up a 59-year-old woman. Look, man, I understand that brother's probably dealing with some things. He's probably in pain, and he's projecting that hurt on other people, but that's not an excuse or a justification. I be trying to figure out where are the men when things like this happen like no no husband around no son no brother no male neighbor nobody is around when this poor woman is minding her business singing watering her lawn and then gets

attacked because she didn't say good morning back to ian what happened to young boys walking by while older while older women are watering their lawn and just simply going hey miss such and such hi miss Parker hi boy we gonna let me okay y'all need to sit down and watch Friday immediately to learn proper older woman watering their lawn etiquette because this ain't it okay and you know i gotta apologize to scar lips you know i'm saying see i'm from the south so some of us from the south raised in a certain area we speak to everybody you know what i mean so when i first heard scar lips say this my answer was you would look like a person with manners okay you would look like a person with

some hospitality okay i was like what kind of world are we living in when a person can't even say good morning to another individual? Well, Scarlet, you might have been right. You may absolutely have been on to something. OK, maybe we just all need to mind our business and stop being nice to people because you damned if you do damned if you don't. This 59 year old woman was minding her business and got swung on because Ian Atkinson felt entitled to a good morning. And now that I think about it, none of us are entitled to say anything to complete strangers. OK, as kids, we are taught don't talk to strangers. So at what point did we get so friendly? All right. Is this some type of subconscious rebellion against our parents and adults in our life?

You don't tell me what to do. I'll speak to all the strangers I want to. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Bye, humbug. maybe the common courtesy needs to stop and for all we know this woman in Boston is probably the nicest person alive but she just had a feeling this dude was on some BS so she decided to mind her business and sadly it cost her but I'm not mad at her at all okay what would the world look and sound like without good morning though okay I got the president of the fat lives matter community in the back cooking up some high cholesterol dishes to get your mouth watering.

And this morning, I told him, chef me up a world with no good morning. What would the world sound like with no good morning? Well, that song off Kanye West's graduation album wouldn't exist. It would sound like this. You need good morning for that record. It's absolutely necessary. Dirty Money. Remember that record with Diddy and the young ladies how would that sound now let me hear it i bet you young miami hears that every time she don't get to the phone quick enough when he call i bet you you can't get rid of good morning okay what about our queen mary j blige

good morning gorgeous how would that sound with no good morning no no no we need good mornings okay we need good mornings but you're not entitled to my good morning and i hope every morning while ian atkinson is in jail someone punches him in the face and says good morning i want the fist of his face to be his alarm clock okay i'm not encouraging violence but i am encouraging people to give this man what he wanted so bad from this lady punch him in the face good morning punch him in the face again good morning punch him in the face a third time good morning please let remy ma give ian atkinson the biggest hee haw hee haw hee haw you stupid mother are you dumb what a sucker i will say this growing up in new york my whole life we didn whole life, we didn't really speak to anybody.

We just keep our head down and keep it moving. But in your household, in your family. In my household and family, of course. But when we out in the street, hat low, hat tucked, keep it moving, and don't mess with nobody because people are crazy. That's what we were raised. Now, when I started doing radio with the little short guy from South Carolina over there who says good morning to everybody. It takes you out of your character and you start speaking to, you know,

you say good morning to everybody. But before that, I would never say good morning to anybody. Just, you know, unless I knew them. Other than that, I just keep my head down and keep moving.

What your grandma said to you? Listen, my grandma is from the South. She will stop you. You walk in her house, uh-uh, go back through that door. I didn't sleep with you last night.

You don't come in here and not say good morning. That's right. Oh, they don't play that at all so now we know why envy never spoke to nobody now we know why envy never said good morning to all the men he used to see he was sleeping with all of them what that's what you just said to us sir i did not i did not say the hell he said he was he started saying good morning to you oh my goodness yeah because he wasn't

sleeping with me oh dang What are we talking about? All right. Thank you for that donkey today. Shoot. Lauren, say goodbye to BET, please. Bye, BET. I'm mad that went the wrong way. BET, we'll see you guys tomorrow.

Everybody else, when we come back, let's talk boxing. We have Ak and Barack. They'll be joining us this morning. We're going to kick it with them next. So don't move. Talk about that fight this weekend. Earl Spence, Terrence Crawford, baby. That's right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The're going to kick it with them next. So don't move. Talk about that fight this weekend. Earl Spence, Terrence Crawford, baby. That's right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. My guys. You might have heard them on SiriusXM Fight Nation 156 weekdays 12 to 3.

So they got to get up out of here because they got to get to work. They're real. They're a real job. Oh, you might have seen them on The Zone. On The Zone? On The Zone boxing show. That's right. I used to like to pull up.

Y'all don't do the pull up as much no more. Oh, man. You know. No, long story. No, we kind of got sued. You know what I'm saying? We were running up on casting their job. You know, I don't know.

No, it's coming back. It's coming back, though. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, Aka Barak. Welcome. Thank you. Thank you. Pleasure to be here.

Great week to have y'all because, man, they always like to throw around the term fight of the century. I'm not going to say century because it's 100 years. Right.

This is the best fight of at least the past. I say 24 years. In my opinion, Trinidad-Dalahoyah was probably the last fight with two undefeated fighters in their prime

where people didn't really know who was going to win. So, 1999. I mean, they say fighter of the century, and they've been watching boxing for 100 years. Nobody's been watching boxing. But we know in our era, this is the most important fight out there. When you got the best fight and the best.

And think about it. When anybody complain about boxing, they only talking about that one fight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all they talking about. Yeah. The one to see that one. That one, yeah.

Who we got for the fight? Earl Spencer. Oh, we going, we going. Let's jump right into it. Let's jump right into it. Got it. It's difficult for y'all because y'all actually have relationships with these people.

Yes, yes, yes. It's super hard. I mean, especially those two dudes. You know what I mean? Like, there's a few guys that we're closer to. Normally, I don't give predictions, but regardless, in this particular one, super hard. I mean, especially those two dudes. You know what I mean? Like, there's a few guys that we're closer to. Normally, I don't give predictions,

but regardless, in this particular one, it's 50-50 for real. Really? Like, everybody that says it, they be like, all right,

I think Errol Spencer gonna win, but Crawford a dog though. Or they think, I think Crawford gonna win, but Errol Spencer ain't no joke though. So it's hard to just

be definitive on who you think is gonna win because you know the other one could win. We know who Charlamagne thinks is going to win. Yeah, right. Charlamagne is screaming, Earl wins.

We heard. He is, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I love Bud. No doubt. To your point, exactly. I could never be like, oh, man, Terrence Crawford ain't ****. He's a beast.

He's an animal. But you said for years, but as the years gone on, have you swayed a little bit and said, like, maybe this fight is going to i thought no i think it's gonna be a tough fight i still think earl wins though why because he's bigger and because he's bigger and i think eventually he's just gonna wear him down the longer the fight going that's just my personal opinion and everybody always says things like that could happen but but bud might knock him out early i'm like buddy knocking out earl spence early bro right right i don't think that's happening but i think that neither one of them is for the fighter like the other i agree you know what i mean and then terence crawford he can't just be pushed to the side as someone is going to lose easily because he's the most dominant in that division he's actually knocking everybody out you know what i mean so he got a hundred percent

knockout rate in that division so it's going to be tough for spence to to stop but so obviously after this fight unless it's a draw somebody's's going to have an L, right? Somebody's going to have one loss, which is going to affect a lot for them. Would you recommend if you were in any one of them teams to take that fight? I mean, first off, we need to change that narrative about that undefeated record. Yeah, Floyd

spoiled the game. And in the 80s, I mean, people talk about it all the time. The Hagler, Hearns, Durant, those dudes lost. People still wanted to watch them fight again. And for this particular fight, there's a rematch clause. So if either guy wins, they're going to fight again. They're going to fight again. So we're going to see these guys fight twice.

And if the fight is competitive and they fight again, maybe we'll start changing that mindset and be okay with taking risks. But, yeah, obviously this fight has to happen. There's no way I would say no. Oh, yeah. If I was in anyone's corner, I'd say you definitely have to have this fight. This is the legacy fight that everybody wants to see. And it's like if you think about the most respected fighters of all times, they all got losses.

That's right. Just because Floyd was popular and he didn't have no loss. But, you know, people don't love him as much for some reason as the other fighters because they didn't see him with no rivalry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, we love the Gadis, the muhammad ali who had an actual rivalry you know what i mean and that's what we want to see so we don't mind if you lose come back and win it's actually it's kind of better being called a two-time champion after a loss than undefeated which is which is kind of strange oh floyd thing i mean i talked about this the other day. Sugar Ray Robinson went 40-0, lost one fight,

and then won another 89 straight fights. So, I mean, I think that whole Floyd 51-0 thing is a little too much talked about. Is the person who wins this fight the face of boxing? Oh, the face. I would say they're the best fighter in the world right now because it's like the number one fighter fighting the number three fighter or whatever you got them on your list you know but the face of boxing i believe is the person that no matter who you fight you're making eight figures you're making 20 30 figures and that just happens to be canelo so i don't want to diss the winner of this fight i'm just

saying the face of boxing only mean who's the most popular. So I'm going to say whoever wins is the best. There are many faces in boxing, though. Tank is a big face. Ryan's a big face. Tyson Fury. But I think Canelo's the only one that can fight anybody and still make $30 million. Literally. Nobody else could do that.

Even though I heard Ryan just made $30 million on that Tank fight. Because he fought Tank. Tank is popular. You know what I mean? I feel like Tank is the person since floyd who culturally has a lot of a lot of impact absolutely i mean like he brings in a lot of casual i think boxing fans absolutely you know if you think about it when you see yo tank has the same crowd that comes out everywhere not not to say the same people per se but the same look of crowd you know they got the jewels on they all got trucks and cars on their necks you know what i'm saying and wherever he go that

kind of crowd comes out this crowd don't normally watch boxing you could tell this crowd don't normally watch so he's tapped into that hip-hop community that black community that only he at the moment can bring out that's what i'm saying even with this week man it's like a holiday i can't wait till saturday oh my god but'm like, you don't hear nobody planning no fight parties or anything like that. You know what I mean? It's crazy. It's almost only hardcore. In your mind, only hardcore fans like Saturday Night Live.

This is the Super Bowl. It should be like the Super Bowl right now. You're right. But it's the personalities. I mean, look at Errol. These dudes, they're soft-spoken. That's true, too. They're not braggadocious.

They don't bring that bravado. They do it in the ring. And I think that's the problem. Like, can't we appreciate what they're doing in the ring? Do they have to be that grand outside the ring for us to pay for the pay-per-view? Yeah, what really makes something big is the people around it that's supporting it. When Tank and Ryan was fighting, you've seen so many influencers, whether they're artists or athletes, posting about it. Even though those same people probably know about this fight, they're not as anxious to post about it. Kawhi Leonard, you guys

know that dude's personality outside basketball, right? He has none. But they love him on the court. And then he gets paid top dollar. Exactly. So why can't we do that with our sport? What do y'all think the current state of boxing is? Is it gaining more popularity?

Because of networks like The Zone and what showtime is doing espn investing in the sport what y'all think i think it has more eyes on it now because so many networks are willing to broadcast it but i can't say popularity i think we lost a big crowd and we lost that crowd to mma and and to be truthful i think when you don't have a white champion or white men dominating in the sport they kind of gravitate away from it i just feel like the white fans that used to go to fights that used to watch boxing in the 70s 80s maybe early 90s they're watching mma what would y'all think devin haney is ducking shakur stevenson

i wouldn't say that because before um this came about these two devin haney was 19 years old trying to fight loma chanko yeah when when the world was asking Tank to fight Lomachenko, you know, but Devin Haney wanted to fight him. You know what I mean? So if he want to fight the most dangerous guy then, why would he be somebody who doesn't want to fight Shakur now? I can't answer that. None of these fighters are ducking people.

You got to understand, they all have teams around them. Everybody making decisions for them. What's the proper, the right business decision. So if you ask a fighter by himself, he don't want to fight it. Most guys are going to want to fight anybody. But there's a lot of filtering that has to happen before a fight happens. And it's about money

now, you know. Alright, we got more with Ack and Barack when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Aq and Barack. We're talking boxing. I want to ask you a question.

Put your parents' hat on for a second, right? Yeah. I ask a lot of football players, well, you want your kid to play football, right? The majority of them, I would probably say 80% say no. How do y'all feel about that, especially since you said you had 75 competitive boxing matches? Yeah, and I have a son, a 14-year-old son.

So short answer no i wouldn't want to fight uh he wants to fight like just to try it out like an amateur fight but pursue it nah the sport is too brutal for me wanting and i'm that might be hypocritical because i cover the sport and i love it but now i wouldn't want my son to do it i raised my son and he need to pay me back he need to go out there and fight and pay his daddy back for all of that stuff. He put me through. No, my son is an amateur boxer.

He was an amateur boxer and I pushed him hard and at one time he thought, oh, you trying to make me live your dream. I was like, no, I seen the gift that God gave you early, like six years old. I don't want to rob you of that.

But in reality, truthfully, I don't want to see you fight. It hurts me to, truthfully, I don't want to see you fight. It hurts me to see you fight. I want to fight the person that's in there when I see him fight. And even if he's winning, you know what I mean? So, but I don't want to take away what God put in him. But do I really want my son to fight? Of course not.

Now, do you think they're going to change boxing up a lot? Like they changed the football so much. Do you think they're going to do that with boxing? And how would that work? Never because boxing, it's not a league, right? It's the wild, wild west. There's so many promoters. Every state has a different athletic commission.

They would have to change the rules in every single state. And a lot of the states don't get along. So it would never happen. I mean, it's been, boxing has been the same forever. It's not like the NBA where one organization controls everything. You know, this is independent contractors around the world doing whatever the hell they want. And they've just got commissions in each state that regulate it with their own rules. So it's kind of tough. You got to make

one organization to control over all of it. Do you think there should be one undisputed title pro weight class instead of having four? Yes, absolutely. I think it would be less confusion. And I think the fans are come back a little bit more. Some of those fans would be like, oh, I don't know who the champion is because everybody's coming in with a belt. That's what it seems like. You know, everybody's coming in with a belt,

and that's kind of sucked. I don't know if that's going to create a whole bunch of fans, but it'll stop the confusion at least. It's not going to happen, and if it does, it's going to take a long time. These section of bodies have been around for a long time, and they get a fee every time a fighter fights for their belt.

You know what I mean? They're not going away quietly. I'm saying, I don't want nobody losing their jobs or losing their bags, but if they could somehow work together

and make it a little bit better, you know, for the fans, I'd love that. I mean, rumors that somebody is trying to do that. I don't want to,

you know, say it on the air, but... Or trying to get rid of all four belts. I'll talk to you about it because it's an important person. I don't know why he brought it up. You can't say it. Say it. I heard about it. You were belts? I'll talk to you about it because it's an important person. I don't know why he brought it up.

Say it. I heard about it. You were talking about it. Say it. What boxer that you see is coming up the ranks now that people should be looking towards? Boots. Boots is a phenomenal fighter. Phenomenal talent.

Even though he hasn't fought an elite fighter yet, his last performance, it was so impressive. I know people want to see him against Bud and Spence, but those dudes, they pay their dues. I don't even want to see them fight this young killer. Honestly, it's just too much him. Shakur is probably, in my opinion, going to be the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world one day in the next couple years.

He's just so, so talented. But boxing has a bright future. But if you talk about when a come-up come-up, he's just so, so talented. But boxing has a bright future. But if you talk about when a come up, come up, there's a young fighter, he signed a top rank, I believe,

his name is Bruce Carrington from Brooklyn. They call him Shoo Shoo. Oh, you're talking about young, young, like prospect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's coming up. He's going to be the next one.

A hundred percent. He's going to be the next one. What's his weight class being? Right now, I think he's fighting at 126, I think. He's going to be the next one. He's special. How much did Bruce pay you for this? No, no. No, no, no. fighting at 126, I think. He's going to be the next one. He's special.

How much did Bruce pay you for this? No, no. None at all. I ain't got no affiliation. But I think Boots, I agree with Sean. Boots is phenomenal. What do y'all think boxing's missing? That's a good question.

I think it's missing the organization part of it. Because it's so divided, we don't get to see the fights as easy as we can. Because actually actually even though spencer crawford is fighting and thank god they both in their primes look how long we was waiting for manny packey out of fight floyd you know what i mean because everybody like i said is independent contractors so if we could probably form a league across all of boxing then we would see those fights and then i think it would be because the best are fighting the best all the time. Even though this is a great era, don't get me wrong, you'll see more losses.

So losses will become more acceptable. Right. And I think that would help boxing. Yeah, and also just coverage like mainstream media needs to cover the sport more, especially when they're young, talented fighters. Even if they're not superstars, I mean, the only way they're going to get there is if there's coverage and people talk about it. But I agree.

I mean, if fighters are a little going to get there if there's coverage and people talk about it. But I agree. I mean, if fighters are a little bit more forced to fight certain fights, it'll be more entertaining. But it's still, it's still the best sport in the world. But respect to you guys, The Breakfast Club

and other things like Sway and them because you guys put these guys on. Yeah. You know, like they'll never get the coverage. Even on our show on the DAZN Boxing Show is big in boxing,

but you guys, you got the world, you know, at your feet, you know. So, listen to y'all. You're doing your part to make the sport better. 100%. I'm a fan of boxing. Yeah, yeah. And that's what boxing needs, bro. And I hope, I hope and pray that this fight does well in numbers, man.

What's it on? Is it on DAZN? Showtime. That's on Showtime pay-per-view. Got you. All right. Well, Ak and Barack, we appreciate you brothers for joining us. Give them your Instagram and socials and all that good stuff.

Yeah, Boxing with Ak, man. A.K. Boxing with Ak. And I'm Boxing Bully. Barack the Boxing Bully on Instagram. And watch us on the zone daily. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

On The Breakfast Club. Lauren came in hot. You know, I came in telling the truth. So Ice Spice, her poom poom has rubbed people the wrong way. Excuse me?

What? She sat down with British Vogue. She did a segment called In The Bag, which is where celebrities explain what is in their bag on a day-to-day. We have some audio from the interview. Listen. I always keep a panty on me. The ratties that get it, get it. All my panties are pink.

I always keep a panty because you just be having to change your panties. You know what I'm saying? So... I don't know what she's saying. What that mean? It means, okay. it just means that throughout the day she may want to put on a fresh pair of panties so she carries them so that she can swap out why i mean what happens ain't that what panty liners for though yeah but i mean some people

don't just want to keep doing panty liners some people just want to be completely fresh um it could be you know if it's that time of the month um and she wants to you know just refresh well if it's already got discharge and all types of other stuff coming out of it what's putting on a new pair of panties gonna do you start over you're gonna style those you just start over yeah you gotta wash first i also was wondering too what does she do with the old panties like do you throw them in the bag or you throw them away throw them away i would i feel like she would have to throw them away put them on ebay oh my panties can get a little something now i think after this interview because people are so up in arms people are like if you can't

relate to this that mean you dry people are like y'all don't understand the woman's body she's not talking about being wet some people are like wait what i don't even switch my panties like she just taught me something yeah i don't know i don't know what she's talking about but i'm not supposed to because you know i'm not a woman who wears panties so women women should be able to relate to that right yeah yeah that's what some sometimes you're taught that um she also had a knife in her her bag as well too but i feel like more people related to the panties i felt like the knife thing was so like it was so new york so she's from the bronx yeah like it was giving it went over people's heads though um moving on though damon john uh he recently was granted why she don't have security

she does have security why she need a knife you got security i think you know she's recently from the bronx she's still going through a lot of trouble you know what i mean she's still carrying her knife in case you know the girls roll up roll up. Yeah. You know how that go. So, Damon John, speaking of protection, he was just granted a restraining order against a few Shark Tank contestants. So, on Friday, a New Jersey judge ruled in favor of an order of protection against the founders of Bubba Q's Boneless Baby Back Ribs Food Truck. ribs food truck so al bubba baker his wife sabrina baker and their daughter britney bo baker these names uh britney bro baker are former contestants of shark tank who damon john invested in now he claims that they've been posting stuff online and um it's like super disparaging to him um and that they're unhappy because they're they made poor business decisions that i guess aren't reflecting well on what they well on the goals they set for the business or whatever.

So the restraining order says that all of the negative comments that were posted have to be removed, and that Bubba and his family have actually started removing some of the statements and accusations online. Have they been threatening them? I think people don't realize how aggressive they be sounding online. Sometimes people be sounding real violent online. removing some of the statements and accusations online have they been threatening them uh i think people don't realize how aggressive they be sounding online like sometimes people be sounding real violent online they may not mean to but they do and you got to take those things serious but i

also think too it's just a bad look for the show because i've always wondered once you win a show like that and invest in you you can't predict i don't care what minds you have on your team you can't predict how business will go how people will receive it so what happens when it doesn't go well and I think that we're seeing that in real life with this restraining order yeah just because you win

Shark Tank and one of the Sharks invest in you doesn't guarantee success and you shouldn't feel entitled to that success and you can't blame them

if things don't work right I mean well they're blaming him but they've had to remove these comments so you know I don't know hopefully Bo

and all the bubba's they figure it out well i would like to tell people to make sure you subscribe to damon john's podcast at that moment podcast on the black effect iheart radio podcast network it's a really good podcast he sits down and talks to uh you know different notable people about that moment they knew they had uh something something yeah so subscribe to that on the Black Effect. I love the Black Effect. You guys are everywhere. A lot of it for y'all. God is good. So Doja Cat.

Now, Doja Cat might need to sit down and talk to Daymond John, somebody, because she is really messing up her business and her brand online. Really?

So recently, she lost over 200,000 followers on Instagram. The big thing here is that she's been online arguing with her fans. Now, her fans call themselves the kittens. And Doja Cat went online and said that she was losing money and brand deals because the kittens were using her government name on their profiles.

So I guess she said it was causing confusion. But she also told the fans to go get a job. She said that if you're a kitten, basically you're a loser. She started saying things like uh her fans were like do you love us and she's like i don't even know y'all so um yeah the fans are saying she's mean-spirited and they want to show her that like you need us we are your fans oh well she i mean they technically they're right yeah she does don't need her fan base she's a superstar but i don't know why she keeps trying to sabotage she is so weird i mean she's being

very honest though like you know like i i don't know them but i mean you should love what they do for you they show up to your shows they buy your merchandise they you know support your music you should love that aspect of it yeah but she does stuff like this she gets online and says i don't want to rap anymore she gets online and says my my music has been trashed i'll make better music like i just don't see where she's coming maybe i'm because i think a lot of times i thought she was playing too we need sarcasm font on social media because i was thinking she was playing and being sarcastic the whole time she's being serious i don't know but i love Doja Cat as a rapper.

Doja Cat gets busy. Yeah, I just want her to like, I don't know. It's just a weird, it's just weird to me. I love that new record. It's not new anymore, but Attention, Attention. Oh, that's crazy. She killed that record. I mean, I think Doja Cat is super talented.
