Y'all ain't never listened to the Boyz II Men Christmas album, and I can tell. It's called Christmas Interpretations.

Performing Christmas songs in the summer. If y'all saw Mariah Carey perform All I Want for Christmas in the middle of May, it would look like her coming out in like a big-ass North Face and a hoodie and North Face and a hoodie and Timbs.

No. She don't even wear that. You'd be like, what's wrong with Mariah? You know what I'm saying? She don't even dress like that. But if she has production and they start doing the fake snow out there and they make it a scene. Yeah.

Because if that was true, they wouldn't be coming out. Sleuth everybody I saw in New York and New Jersey at Barnes and Nobles, too.

I was in the Barnes and Nobles in New York on Fifth Avenue. And then I was in Paramus in New York and New Jersey at Barnes and Nobles, too. I was in the Barnes and Nobles in New York on Fifth Avenue, and then I was in Paramus in New Jersey. Sleuth everybody who came out to get their copy of Get Honest or Die Lying signed. And tonight I'll be in Philadelphia. Okay? With Uncle Bobby's books at Green Street School. And we have Charles Sweet. Charles Suit, he'll be joining us this morning.

Man, let me tell you something. Charles Suit is a person that people need to know because he's one of those people that, you know, is behind the scenes making a lot of people that's in front of the camera look good. Okay. Absolutely. He works with Patti LaBelle in regards to all her products. He has a great publishing company with Simon & Schuster called 13A. They put out Stephen A. Smith's book and Deion Sanders' book and Pinky Cole's slutty vegan book.

And they got a lot of other books coming, man. So he's a great person to talk to if you want to know some of the ins and outs of this business. But not only that, before, on the music side, he was the one that helped Lost Boys get their deal. He was their first manager. And signed Lost Boys, their first manager. He's the one that Mr. Cheeks may or may not have killed at the end of the Rene video. It's a mystery on whether or not he died. Did you ask him?

Are you going to ask him? Of course. Okay. All right. Where are you at again? I'm in Aruba, man. Okay. Where they got you in?

It looks like he skimped on accommodations. Where they got you? Nah, they got me in the conference room so I can plug right in. Because sometimes the Wi-Fi might be a little shaky. You look like you're in ISS. They got me in the conference room, man. I'm in a conference room, man. I'm in a conference room. All right.

Well, let's get the show cracking. We got Morgan Wood. Morgan Wood, we got front page news coming up. What we talking about, Morgan? Yeah, the Biden administration is releasing another round of student debt relief. Nikki Haley is endorsing former President Trump. And there is a George Floyd biopic in the works. Morgan just been popping in, sounding like a whole news anchor because she is.

But before she sounded like a whole new girl from DMV. Hey, y'all, what's up? We got a piece. Yeah, what's up? We got a piece. And she just switched. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's D-E-J-N-V. Jess O'Leary, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. From the Black Information Network, we have Morgan Wood. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. Good morning. The Biden administration is announcing another round of student debt relief.

The Department of Education says it's forgiven seven point seven billion dollars in student loans for over one hundred sixty thousand borrowers in an effort to reduce the burden of education debt on U.S. households. The debt relief includes over $5 billion for those pursuing public service loan forgiveness and about $2 billion for students enrolled in income-driven repayment plans. So people who work in public service like teachers, police officers, in addition to those, in addition to thousands of people who signed up for Biden's loan repayment program, save, will qualify for that. U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said one out of every 10 federal student loan borrowers approved for debt relief means one out of every 10 borrowers now has the financial breathing room and a burden lifted. Love it, man. One of the best things they are doing in that administration. And the reason I love it so much is because people I actually know

and people I don't know are being impacted. Like when you can actually see, you know, the tangible things that are happening because of that student loan debt relief and you can actually see people, you know, getting their debts removed. That's a beautiful thing. So that's one of the best things that administration is doing. You can tell he has a publicity person now because now you're starting to hear about it more and more and more. It's starting to hit the news more.

It's going across my feed, and I like to see it more because everybody keeps asking, what is he doing? But now you're starting to see it more. Yes, and you're seeing it, like I said, from people. I got my man Wes Bellamy, salute to Wes Bellamy. I saw Wes. He got his student loan debt erased. I saw him post about it like yesterday or the day before yesterday. Dope.

And he had like over $20,000 in student loans. Wow. That's a lot of money. Yeah. What else we got, Morgan? All right. So moving on, like I said yesterday, I hope you're registered to vote. Former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley says she will vote for President Trump or former President Trump rather instead of President Biden in the 2024 election.

Can we roll that audio? Trump has not been perfect on these policies. I've made that clear many, many times. But Biden has been a catastrophe. So I will be voting for Trump. Now, Haley did not formally endorse former President Trump, but she said she puts her priorities on a president who is going to have the backs of our allies and hold our enemies accountable.

Well, that's no surprise there that she's voting for Donald Trump. I don't think nobody's surprised by that. Well, really? I mean, didn't she slam him the whole time she was running for president? She made it seem like he was disgusting. She wouldn't vote for him. He was a nasty person. It's politics.

We know that. That's how they play. We know that. Oh. Pretty much. All right. Moving on. And more.

I would love to believe that this is positive news, but, you know, you remember when George Floyd's daughter said, Daddy changed the world? Well, that's the new title of a new biopic about George Floyd in the works. Daddy Changed the World is a family authorized film with his daughter Gianna and her mother, Roxy Washington, involved as executive producers. Gregory R. Anderson is writing the screenplay, which will cover Floyd's life as a man whose 2020 murder sparked protests across the U.S. against police brutality. It's still in search of a director and a press release described the movie as a gritty drama of a man and his community thrust into the fiery light of history. Now, is this like a big studio production? Is somebody doing this on Tubi? Like, what is this?

I was going to say, I do not have all the information on that. Because I think stuff like that should be told later. Like, we just saw this. You think it'll trigger emotions? Yeah, hell yeah. It just happened, like, four years ago. Like, this is not is not i mean if the family getting paid i'm all for it i just i'm just trying to figure out like who's behind it like when you said there's no director i was like he's still searching for him i would hope it would be a major release i would hope

it'd be a major release yeah it would have to be i'm just used to biopics coming later like later i get what you're saying But yeah Hopefully we will see Alright well that is front page news Thank you Morgan Wood We'll see you in an hour Everybody else get it off your chest

And I like just learning different facts about different things. So I'm a little bit of a nerd, and I like just learning, like, different facts about different things. So I want to just recommend, like, say if y'all pick a topic every week, say, you know,

Jess has been talking about health here and there. So say the topic of the week is health. And for maybe, like, a minute or two, you just say, like, you know, quick bullet points about, you know, whatever, foods to eat, foods to avoid, types of workouts you can do at home. And the topics can be, you know, random, but something educational versus having just like

a guest speaker speaking about a specific topic. If that makes sense. That sounds dope. Thank you, brother. I appreciate that. Definitely.

That'd be dope. Like, things that people are going through. Like, women, you know, sometimes have a problem growing their hair, so if Jessica break down what they could eat

or what they could do. First of all, boy, that is not what he was talking about and what did you talk about you basically call me boy get it off your chest 800-585-1051 we got just with the mess coming up yes so look apple music dropped a 100 best album uh list and people find it disrespectful okay so we won't get into it all right we'll get into that next so don't move it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious all i mean the guy we are the breakfast club now let's get to just with the mess news is real whether it's just a his real brother. Just don't do no lying. Just don't do no lying.

She don't spare nobody. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide Madness. She don't spare nobody. On The Breakfast Club. She's a culture shitter. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it off.

So a local bounce group from the new orleans area named the showstoppers they saw in beyonce and big frida both of them for a copyright infringement and unfair trade practices oh my god no i know right it's crazy this also stems from the use of the phrase release a wiggle uh which they claim was taken from them okay yeah because in 02 the showstoppers released a song called release a Wiggle, and they claimed that Big Freedia stole their concept, and her song, Explode, that she released in 2014. So they're arguing that Big Freedia's roots in New Orleans and her ties in the bounce community make it likely that she was aware of the Showstoppers song

before she put hers out. And then they also claimed that Release a Wiggle had never been recorded or published in any other song prior to the show stop is release a wiggle um beyonce sample big fritas explode in her 2022 hit break my soul because of this they decided to sue big frida and beyonce and they're also suing other writers and producers including jay-z um they are credited uh that are credited on um break my soul yes all that makes me want to dance right now don't even attempt that without hips right first of all

don't even attempt that without hips oh god you gotta have hips and something to shake back there you know okay the release can't be released if there ain't no wiggle hey you gotta have something to wiggle all right well it sounds to me like release your wiggle is just some New Orleans slang. It's a slang. Like how people say standing on business or whatever common term they be using nowadays. Phrase they be using nowadays. So, I mean, does that mean that it can't be used in a song? I'm not sure.

I don't know. But they saying they dropped. It sounds like a slang. Yeah, they said they dropped the song which said release the wiggle. So, they're saying that they actually put it in music first well they should have copyrighted the phrase they should have copyrighted the phrase it's copyrighted the phrase what the hell what i say you say i'm coping i'm coping with what i didn't write okay so everybody loses us uh on q93 in new

orleans by the way absolutely that's right that's like the phrase no ditty, right? Nobody copyrighted no ditty and everybody used it. You just got to bring up ditty. No, the reason I'm saying that is because he got ditty on his brain. Like nobody even talking about ditty right now. I'm talking about the phrase because Gucci just did a song no ditty and people have been talking about no ditty. So I was saying it's the same thing. Whoever came up with that, could they sue too?

Because everybody's running with no ditty. Hey, man, if you're trapped in that little room you ain't just wink man okay all right i'm in a conference room you look like you're trapped somewhere yo anyway social media reacts to apple's 100 best album list they uh released it and uh they they described the list as a modern 21st century ranking of the greatest albums uh greatest records ever made crafted by apple's music team of experts alongside a select group of artists songwriters producers and industry professionals or whatever but jermaine dupree had a problem with it he said looking at this apple music top 100 album list is sad the disrespect to R&B is crazy. It's given, not worthy.

Yotus Man said it's given, not worthy. I like that. You like that? Give me the top 10. What we got on there? So, Beyonce Lemonade is number 10. Number 9 is Nevermind by Nirvana. Back to Black, Amy Winehouse, which is one of my favorite albums.

Good Kid, Mad City by Kendrick Lamar is number 7. Songs and the Key of Life by Stevie Wonder. Number five is Frank Ocean, Blonde. Purple Rain, Prince and the Revolution is number four. The Beatles, Abbey Road, number three. Michael Jackson came in number two with Thriller

and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hills, number one. I'm disgusted. I'm not disgusted. That's a strong word. But it's just an impossible list to make because you would have to listen to every single genre of music to make that list. I asked the driver yesterday, what's the best album he's

ever heard? And he told me the Allman Brothers live from NYC. I never even heard of the Allman Brothers. What color is your driver? He was white. But that's my point So when you have a list like that You have to have a whole diverse group of people in the room And it has to be people that listen to all genres of music

No disrespect but is Lauryn Hill number one? Over Michael Jackson? Over Michael Jackson Over Stevie Wonder? Over Prince Is Michael Jackson Thriller number one over Michael Jackson Off The Wall? No That's another thing Off The Wall you got Thriller People one over Michael Jackson Off the Wall? No. That's another thing.

Off the Wall, you got Thriller. People love Bad. So I don't know. But I can't see Lauryn Hill having the same. Nah, not over Michael Jackson. Frank Ocean has never done any album better than Michael Jackson. Okay? I don't care if it's Blonde, Channel, Orange, Nostalgia, whatever.

And I like Frank Ocean, but yeah. Nothing he's ever done Should be in the top 10 Greatest albums of all time I love Kendrick Lamar He's the leader Of the new school When it comes to

This generation of rappers But according to this list Good Kid Mad City Is the greatest Rap album of all time We know that's Simply not true Yeah

Come on Come on y'all People on social media Was going crazy Somebody said So Apple Music Made a list of 100 best albums of all time and didn't include any of Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Brandy albums.

Mary J. Blige. My life was on there, but it was way too low. To me. Are you saying that? Marvin Gaye, What's Going On. Patti LaBelle. Marvin Gaye. Celine Dion.

Tina Turner. They said they weren't included in any of this. Marvin Gaye was going on I forgot what number it was but whatever it was it was too low. Stevie Wonder songs and the key of life was like come on you named about 5 albums in that top 10 that ain't better than that but it was in there they said it does include

William Eyelash, Taylor Swift Travis Scott and SZA not the end of the world but what a joke I don't even know who is Eyelash I don't know who't even know. Who is Eyelash? I don't know who William Eyelash is. William Eyelash? Yes, that's his name. William Eyelash. You made that up. I swear I'm looking at it. It say, it does

include, this is. But see, that's what I mean when I say you gotta listen to all genres of music, because I don't know who that is. But clearly, he's somebody. Yeah, clearly. What's going on is number 17, too, by the way. Is Sade Diamond Life on there? I don't know. I don't have the whole Top 100 in front of me, but I know William Eilish is on there. It's an impossible list to make. I'm glad Apple attempted it.

It got everybody talking. You know, it created a lot of engagement for y'all. I hate these lists. Literally nobody supported it. It's an impossible list to make. Yeah, I hate these lists. All right. That's just the mess.

That is just with the mess. Thank you, Jess. No problem. When we come back, we got front page news. Morgan Wood will be joining us. She's from the Black Information Network, and we're going to chop it up with her next. Don't, Jess. When we come back, we got front page news. Morgan Wood will be joining us. She's from the Black Information Network, and we're going to chop it up with her next. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, quickly, in sports, the Mavericks beat the Timberwolves last night 108-105. Charlotte, did you see the game? No, man. Them games be on too late. Well, I did

watch up until like the third quarter, but then I went to sleep like towards the end of the third. Yeah, I fell asleep too. I ain't watching. Them games be on too late. They don't care about men born in the 1900s. They gotta do morning shows. I don't know why I keep telling y'all them games need to come on earlier. Come on 6 o'clock. Them games can be over by 8, 9 o'clock.

Why them games be on 10, 30, 11 o'clock? For what? I'm with you now, because there's only one game per night, so they can to come on earlier. Come on 6 o'clock. Them games can be over by 8, 9 o'clock. Why them games be on 10, 30, 11 o'clock? For what? I'm with you now because there's only one game per night. There's one game. So they can't make it earlier. Yeah, I agree. All right. Now we got Morgan Wood on the line, of course, from the Black Information Network.

Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. Good morning. So keep it things sports related. The Atlanta Falcons are expanding their ownership group. The team announced recently that four limited partners, all who are black, were approved by the NFL to join the organization. Roslyn Brewer, Dominique Dawes, Will Packer and Rashawn Williams will join the current group of seven limited partners. Packer, Williams and Brewer are all HBCU graduates.

And Dominique Dawes is the first black gymnast to win an Olympic gold medal in 1996. Forbes values the NFL franchise at $4.7 billion. Get paid, young. Get paid. Scoot every single one of them, man. Congratulations. Absolutely. Yeah, so moving on. Former NFL-wide receiver Antonio Brown has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Times Union reports

he owes more than or about $3 million to eight different creditors according to documents filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida. So Brown was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL draft. He earned $88 million as a player, but apparently now he says he has no more than $50,000 in assets.

So, yeah. That's scary. Not a lot of judgments. $88 million in career earnings. Let's just say half of that taxes, right? You still made about $40-something million. And now you're filing a bankruptcy? That's scary.

Yeah, so I'm on some more positive news with him. He will be a first ballot Hall of Famer in 2027. Does that come with a check? Yeah. If that don't come with a check, I wouldn't care if I was him. I wonder if they'll put him in, Morgan. Say it again? They're supposedly releasing music this summer.

Oh, that's definitely not going to make him no money. But I wonder if he's going to get voted in because of all his antics off the field. Because he should be a first ballot Hall of Famer just off skill set. But I wonder if he'll get in because of his antics. Because think about Terrell Owens. Terrell Owens, to me, should have been a first ballot Hall of Famer just off skill set. But I wonder if he'll get in because of his antics. Because think about Terrell Owens. Terrell Owens, to me, should have been a first ballot Hall of Famer. But he didn't get in, you know, at first because of his antics off the field. It's true.

We haven't seen him since 2022 when he took off his shirt at that New York Jets game. Yeah. Unless he was on Twitter asking Caitlin Clark, saying that she looked like she'd keep it hairy. Oh, my God. Yeah, that alone might keep him from getting in the Hall of Fame. i don't think he's gonna be i don't think they're gonna let him in in the first night in the first ballot nah i mean uh not gonna get too much into that getting into uh what americans like to use apparently they say that uh marijuana daily use is up and drinking daily is down so according to an analysis from the national survey on drug

use and health close to 18 million people in 2022 said they smoke marijuana nearly every day. That's compared to less than 15 million who reported similar drinking habits. It's the first time in three decades that daily marijuana use was more common than daily drinking. And this comes as the Biden administration plans to reclassify marijuana, easing restrictions nationwide. That's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood. Thank you, Morgan. Jess got disgusted because she can't do either or. Nope, not at all.

But it's good to hear that more marijuana is being used than alcohol. Yeah. Yeah, I don't do either daily. You know what I mean? But I do do more edibles nowadays than I do drinking. But you know what? A lot of people do use marijuana to go to sleep do more edibles nowadays than i do drinking but you know what a lot of people do use uh marijuana to go to sleep like especially edibles and they smoke before they

You may not know his face. You might know his name, but it's good that you get to know him because, you know, a lot of things that you see that are front and center, there's people behind the scenes making a lot of those things happen. And Charles Sude is one of those people behind the scenes

making a lot of those things happen. Yes, sir. How you doing, my brother? How are you? I mean, I'm blessed, man. I'm happy to be here. I don't even know how to introduce you. Do I say publisher?

Do I say business manager? Like, what do I say? You say Jamaican? Look, look, look. Product of the hip-hop environment. I started in the early 90s. God bless Andre Harrell. You know, I saw a video, Ralph McDaniels,

and they were interviewing Andre Harrell, and he said that MCA gave him a million dollars to start a record company and I'm sitting at home I'm a teen I said they gave a million dollars in the 90s so no that was the 80s and then fast forward I would start managing the Lost Boys. Now you're up here for a book you're a publisher of 13A books 13A how did you you started in music i always loved it very heavily and then you became a publisher how did you trans like transition into books so again you know in life um you don't get anywhere by yourself you might have that eye and you might but there's always people so there's a woman in karen hunter

who i don't know if you guys are familiar, she has her own Brilliant woman who asked me to manage her after I also managed salt and pepper and she was ghostwriting Peppers book so we had a wind you will book to yep She did one do in his book so she asked me to manage her and after about six months of managing I realized like there was no pathway to really make money Managing a writer so I said, you know, in my business, which is music, with the success she's had, at that time she had written like seven New York Times bestsellers. We get our own. And she said, Charles, well, they will never give an African-American their own imprint and definitely not a female. So I said, well, give me it.

Same thing like Patty. Well, give me give me a name or a number. And the name she gave me was Carolyn Reedy. She said, I don't like publishers at all. But if I had to be at one publisher would be simon houston carolyn reedy so i called karen carolyn um who passed away um rest in peace to carolyn reedy she was on vacation two weeks later she called me i pick up she says charles this is carolyn reedy and i was like who she said you called me she's the chairman of simon Schuster. And I had like two seconds to get it together. And I said, Ms. Reedy, oh my God, thank you so much.

Karen Hunter has made you so much money over the years. We'd like to come in and talk about publishing our own books because we understand what our people want to read. And she said, Charles, you're right. Karen has made us tons of money. Come on in. Karen and I went in. I stood up in front of a bunch of white folks and

i'm charlamagne understands this because he has his own imprint at the same place and i said you know you think guys think that black people don't read we do we read a lot you guys don't know how to make books appetizing yeah and glasses flew off and it's a whole room full of white folks that you know it is true carolyn said well how would you do it and i gave him a couple of suggestions and they were like man that's just it sounds so doable so she said how do we make a deal happen i said well my lawyer david koukakis who now runs um universal music publishing is right outside that door and she called her lawyer and we got a deal done i want to talk about some of the books you've published so far, man, with 13A.

Deion Sanders' book, which is a New York Times bestseller. Stephen A. was the first one. You got Stephen A. over there? Stephen A. was the first one. Stephen A. set it off. And all of these stories, from Pinky to Deion, these aren't just black stories. These are American stories. And my job is to tell a story.

I'm no different than Kenya Barris or Spike Lee or any of these filmmakers. My goal is to tell our stories. You know, Italians have been telling their stories for 60 years. We've been watching and idolizing the Italians. When are we going? Ours is the greatest story ever. Ours is the greatest story never really told. The only stories that we're telling are

slavery and no it is oh my god this story's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years one of my favorite movies is uh book of clarence you know like that is loved probably probably the most accurate story ever told about biblical times amazing and we laugh about it so 13a our goal is to tell our stories and make them enjoyable i have a book with alan iverson coming next year um wallow wallow is coming in september when i tell you wallow's story and yeah who he is like it's real like how hard he works right i wish i could tell you who did um his forward but like so wall it was real um i have a book with nia long coming publishing nori i can't wait book yeah his book is coming i can't wait i love how you

you're really like careful and passionate about their stories like you don't just see these people as money that's right oh just because of who they are you know yeah like oh no this gonna make money like you you seem so, like, into their story and being able to tell it from their standpoint. And if Charles wasn't there, those stories wouldn't be told. Like, people don't understand that in these publishing companies,

these people are icons to us, but they not looking at Nori. They not looking at Wallo. They not paying attention to our culture. And it's strategic. So after the success, I was able to sign Nori after the success of Stephen A. I just went in the meeting. Of course, nobody in that room knew.

Okay, well, sign him. Let's go. So that's strategically. Same thing with Wallo. It's always after the success of something, I go in. I'm working with Cam'ron now. Cam'ron's story is crazy. And it's not just hip-hop. And it's not just, man, I mean, I go in. I'm working with Cam'ron now. Cam'ron's story is crazy. And it's not just hip-hop, and it's not just men.

I mean, Pinky Cole is from Baltimore, but she had a story. She's an entrepreneur. She came from a family that was doing some things in Baltimore. And she created this empire. So I want to tell our stories. I'm happy to be that conduit. So, yeah. And, you know, it's interesting, right? Because, you know know me and Charles are both at Simon & Schuster with 30 he's

got 13 a I got black privilege we don't step on each other at all if somebody said like if they say yo no are you doing a book and somebody says yeah but 13 a doing it I don't even yeah I'm not trying to outbid him on anything at all we talk I know what he got coming he's taught he and I don't say a word he got some great books coming oh my god not just his and that's the beauty like it's yeah it's competitive i'm not gonna say it's not competitive but it's not um competitive against one another right like i've told him all the books i've gotten i tell him what i'm going after and he'll say okay that's a good he tells the people that i'm going to have to do it with suit he doesn't say nah do

it with me yo nori do that with suit that's he you know so it's a beautiful one. He tells the people that I'm going to have to do it with soup. He doesn't say, nah, do it with me. Yo, Nori, do that with soup. That's he, you know. So it's a beautiful thing, and it's, you know, it's a blessing with all these beefs going on around and rap. Like, y'all could really work together instead of doing all that negativity. Yeah, at first it's fun and it's cute. You know, I was involved in the LL Cannabis beef. Yeah.

Signed Cannabis, which Charlamagne said that it wasn't a real big beat. But it was at the time because LL was the GOAT at the time, right? And Cannabis was that young line. What did you think when you heard Cannabis tell LL, you don't got the skills to eat ass like me? See, that was before. Who said that? That was before.

He said that. We knew what he meant. He just meant rapping. He meant rapping. We knew what he meant. He just meant rapping. He meant rapping that he was better than him. So we knew. You knew what that meant then. All right, we got more with Charles Suit. When we come back, don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ and DJ Solarius. Charlemagne's guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Charles Suit. Charlemagne?

Charles, I wanted to ask you. The Patty products, right? Patty got the pancake mix and everything out now. Yep. And I saw Master P recently. He said in an interview that Patty LaBelle only owns 10% of her Patty's pies. Right. You've worked with her.

Yeah. How much truth is in that? So I want to say this respectfully. Master P is out of his mind. He has this thing called the master class. In order to teach a master class, you should have done your research. So he claimed that Patty's pies are up front because Walmart owns the pie. Walmart does not own anything.

They own zero percent of the pie. He also stated that he did his research and he got uh stuff from uh forbes 50 over 50 you don't make the forbes 50 over 50 owning 10 of a company she wouldn't even been on the list forbes did their own research business week did their own research she owns 100 what we did do as a owner you strategically make different partnerships so what she did do is five of her items are exclusive to walmart on a handshake because they have 4 800 stores in their high volume there's no contract on a handshake they are walmart buys the pie from us period no ifs ands or but yes there are buyers just like there's anrs at every record company that called us and said hey miss

labelle i googled you and when i google you mac and cheese comes up and sweet potato pie comes up do you have a sweet potato pie and we were ready and this is a lesson to all the young folks you gotta be ready we were ready we had our business set up and we said yes and we approached the factory um and the factory we have factories going almost 24 hours a day making that pie she employs hundreds and hundreds of people and we don't just have the pot we have cobblers we have mac and cheese we have collard greens we have pasta dishes and oh by the way we're not only just in walmart we're in kroger we're in uh target we're in ajo we're we're all we're in rouse we're all over the country i understand his point he's suing walmart now because he feels like his

product isn't uh being promoted or up front what do you think about that um he has a point what the consumer needs to understand is that walmart is a real estate company all they're selling is is real estate they're selling space in their store. And when you have companies like Kraft and you name it, Pepsi and Coke and Tropicana, all these big companies, they're buying that space. So when a black company comes along, nine times out of 10,

we don't have the money to buy that space. We don't have Coca-Cola money, right? So they take a chance on young up-and-coming companies like they took a chance on us. And by the way, and shout out to James Chanel Wright, my brother, who blew up the pie. It was selling before that, right? So when they called us, they had a sweet potato pie. It was selling four, five, six pies per store per week, right? When we went in, we immediately went up to 10 pies per.

So that's a success. If the video never would have happened, but that video obviously made it infamous. And I'm super grateful for James and what he did. And it was organic. He loved, people don't understand, he loved Patti LaBelle. And as a matter of fact, thanks for reminding me,

the pie really popped off. Now Charlamagne's gonna probably try to get in for reminding me, the pie really popped off. Now, Charlemagne's going to probably try to get in my pockets. But the pie really took off because I bought the pie up. I called him. I said, can I bring this pie up? Just let you taste it. So I gave him about four or five pies, and he posted it. When he posted it, James saw that post and went to Walmart, came back.

And it's because he loved Patty. He had been to almost every show when she came into town. that was his ode to her yeah you know and on top of that immediately not when it went viral immediately she was in overseas somewhere her security guard hit him on facebook and said hey i saw the video like here's my number and they started talking i want you to before it blew i want you to come to my house for thanksgiving because she was just so blown away she is at a place now that she is so humble right we just got back from atlanta um and we did two in-store shinings at kroger's just pulled up she said charles i want to go to some kroger's and and hundreds of people found out she was into word spread and she just signed boxes that's who she is yeah so the

audacity there was a guy in the classroom that said he bought the pie because it's my sister it's a black woman and he was like you mean she don't own the pie and then all the comments that were coming in hey i'm never buying that pie again patty don't even own it that is a lie people she owns 100 if you want to know call walmart and they'll tell you that they buy the pie from us and then they sell it they buy it from us at a wholesale price and then sell it at a retail price when did he even get that from when did he get that i don't know i mean his i get what he was trying to say like patty's pies are up front well they're up front because the bakery's up front and the only reason why it's doing well is because it's up front well no we're in the back

of the bakery you got to go through the whole bakery to find our pies or cobblers we have puddings and now i proclaim today patty labelle is the queen of breakfast so this right here is a pancake mix and i feel like this is what a black woman represents and oh by the way this stuff is good i mean this this is so good and it's organic Patty's had best-selling cookbooks for 30 years she's cooked on Oprah she was the most visited guests on Oprah ever she got voted best mac and cheese this this is not no like y'all let me go out and this is real it's organic it's organic the park everybody wants to come to Patty's house and eat

because she loves to cook and then done's house and eat because she loves to cook. Been there, done that. Almost as much as she loves to sing and entertain. Yes, Charlamagne has been there. You know, we go into Essence and Patti's fed 40,000 people, right? And people overwhelm me and say, oh, my God, this is good. Why would I buy Pearl Milling or anybody else is making it? When Patti LaBelle, my sister, makes the same product, right?

And oh, by the way, she gives back so much. During the pandemic, we gave pallets and pallet supplies to all the health workers. We have photos of just delivering the pies. Patti is, you know, she's of that age. And she put on her mask and went with us and delivered to the hospitals in Philadelphia. Every Thanksgiving to the food banks out of her own pocket right so there's not only yes it's a successful company and you should want it to be successful the same way jay-z is successful with um asa spade and

and all his products patty labelle should be held at a certain place because she started a company at 60 years old and we make great products and we're everywhere if you if you're buying pancake mix this is the one i promise you i promise you this is the best pancake mix you're ever going to taste it tastes it tastes like cake you're like you're going to be like oh my goodness we have syrups and i'm telling you this pancake mix right now it's in kroger nationwide rouse tons of other stores you're not going to regret it it's an amazing product and I'm so proud of it and go get Dion Sanders book

It's the Breakfast Folk of the Morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get to Jess with the mess. News is real. We're the Breakfast Club. I ain't Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Jess don't do no lying. She don't stare at nobody. She don't stare at nobody.

She don't stare at nobody. She don't stare at nobody. She don't stare at nobody. She don't stare at nobody. She don't stare at nobody. She don't stare at nobody. She don't spare nobody. On the Breakfast Club. She's a coach and shit. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it off. So yesterday I reported on the newest lawsuit against Diddy.

He's being sued by a woman named Crystal McKinney. She alleged that Diddy gave her drugs and alcohol and kissed her without her consent. Forced her to give him oral sex and sent her home in a cab while she was blacked out. And that is when she woke up in the cab on the way home. Reporter Megan Kuniff or Kuniff shared the paperwork for the lawsuit. And it revealed that Crystal has evidence from the night Diddy allegedly assaulted her. It says due to the traumatic events to occur later, plaintiffs saved the unwashed clothing from that night in her closet where they remain in a plastic wrap. So in other words, she saved her clothes from that night over 20 years ago. So even though she chose not to report the assault back then she knew she would need it one day for proof

So she's seeking a civil or criminal case in this situation. I think it's past criminal. I think you gotta do civil Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah, and these clothes can be submitted for evidence in the case Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I'm just curious to know I know before I even asked this question Sometimes like what the case may be, people are fearful. But you chose not to report the assault back then. I mean, I know people are fearful, but I do remember when I reported it yesterday, she has said that she wanted her career and modeling so bad that he had promised her that, you know, although she was confused, she still went along with it. She probably thought she was going to be blackballed or, you know, he could shut down and everything for her. She reported it back then.

Yeah. Absolutely. And then most people say they don't think people will believe them a lot of times when they are in these situations. They feel like nobody will believe them. Especially, it depends on who the abuser is as well. Definitely. Okay. Funny Marco on the dm from chris rock so he was recently on the big podcast

with shaq and he spoke on his viral interview with g herbo if y'all remember fans accused g herbo and south side uh for bullying funny marco during the interview but he revealed that chris rock dm'd him to show him support after that happened the incident with like g herbo uh was that real yeah it was real was he? No, he wasn't mad. I just feel like they leveled trolling and I didn't know how to match it at the time. So it was like, and people were like, that's how we do it in Chicago. But, you know.

But when that happened, I got a DM from somebody. It was Chris Rock. And he said, keep your head up. It happened to me. And I was like, you got slapped. And he read it. And he just left it at that was I wrong pretty Marco stupid yo well if you a troll you know what I'm saying you have to know that sometimes people will match your troll energy so in that case that

case G Herbal and uh who else was on there and Southside young Miami baby they just out trolled and people think it was bullying yeah you know but isn't all trolling a form of bullying yeah nah but Southside. Young Miami baby dad. They just out-trolled him. And people think it was bullying. Yeah. You know? But isn't all trolling a form of bullying? Nah, but it goes too far. Yeah. Then they break his watch and stuff. Yeah, broke his watch. The watch was fake.

It wouldn't have broke so easily if it wasn't fake. Oh, my God. Shut up, man. They didn't know it was fake at the time. They didn't know. They was just trolling. That's the way they do it. But I feel like he turned around and trolled Chris Rock.

Because why would you say that? Yes, that's what I'm saying. You got slapped. Oh, okay. Exactly. And that's why Chris Rock never responded. All I'm simply saying is troll energy will always be matched. And you will always get the energy that you put out in some way, shape, or form.

So you can't say Southside and G Herbo went too far. How do we know that? What Marco said about Chris Rock didn't offend Chris Rock or hurt Chris Rock's feelings. Absolutely. Especially if he reaching out to support you after he sees this. And by the way, Marco act like he got slapped.

He acted like he got slapped. Marco act like he got beat up by G Herbo. Big victim energy. Yes. Yes. That's beat up by G Herbo. Big victim energy. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's what I'm trying to say. Big victim energy.

Yeah. So when he asked Shaq, was he wrong? But I think he was wrong for what he said back to Chris Rock. Yeah, I do. I think he was wrong.

And by the way, all he was trying to do was be funny in the Shaq interview. Yeah. That's literally all that was. Everybody entertaining. So guess what?

And G Herbo and him can say the same thing. That's right. That's right. You know what I mean? Everybody performing. That's right. Yeah. Well, in lighter news, 50 Cent announces Humor and Harmony Festival.

Would you like to hear why this sick, sadistic, emotionally challenged little bastard should never see freedom again? Let's go to Fox News for the report, please. The images of this house fire in Denver in August of 2020 were horrific. Five people, including two children, were killed in the fire that was deliberately set. They were all members of a family from Senegal.

Today, 20-year-old Kevin Bowie pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for each of the five victims. This afternoon, a friend of one of the people who died in the fire said, we're hopeful this time that justice will be served and that he will get a deserving sentence. The judge today said Bowie could serve up to 60 years in prison. Two other teenagers had previously pleaded guilty. Investigators say Bowie was seeking revenge for his stolen cell phone at the wrong house and set that house on fire. This man burnt the wrong house down over a damn iPhone, over his devil damn iphone let me tell you something man having your phone on silent is all fun and games until you can't find it there's nothing worse than

when you think you've left your phone lost your phone phone was stolen whatever it is to find my iphone app is a godsend but none of that has anything to do with the fact that this young man found it perfectly acceptable he found it perfectly fine to set fire to a whole family of five over his iphone and it was the wrong house okay how many of y'all have read american gods by neil gaiman okay it became a great series on uh stars too but there was a new god on there called internet boy technical boy he represented all things technology and there is no doubt in my mind that in this new era uh whatever technical boy represented he is in absolute control it's not even close the way satan is able to use smartphones to create dumb people will be written about in some form of scripture in the future okay i can't even wrap my mind around the fact that kevin

thought his phone his iphone was more important than human life, was more important than his freedom. I guess he didn't have his phone on him to be able to Google what's the consequences of committing arson and killing a family of five. And the fact he was able to convince three friends to engage in this BS activity with him. OK, the news report said it. But let me repeat. Let me tell you how young these kids were. OK, one was 14. He got three years in juvie and seven years in a state prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder. Another one was 19. He got 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of second-degree murder. And Kevin, who was prosecuted as an adult, is getting 60 years in prison.

I'm flabbergasted. Okay, I knew these phones were an issue. But the level of addiction people have to smartphones can only be rivaled by crack and heroin. And honestly, I don't believe crack and heroin got anything on these smartphones. These are the type of crimes that people on drugs commit. These are the type of crimes people addicted to money commit. Yes, people with drug addiction and money addiction will rob you, kill you to get, you know, what they want. This man, Kevin, killed a whole family because he couldn't find his phone.

And when he tracked it, he tracked it back to the wrong house. Also, man, I know you're not supposed to question God. But if I'm this Senegalese family, when I get to wherever we go after we leave here, I got questions for Big G OD my whole family we all gone because an idiot burnt down the wrong house looking for his iPhone earth gotta be on autopilot at this point it's hard to convince me Jesus coming back to this ghetto only thing I want y'all to learn from this is F staying safe stay dangerous okay don't sleep on nobody don't think because someone is a child a teenager don't think because of their race.

This young kid, Kevin Bowie, he's a little Asian kid. Okay, the family he killed was Senegalese. The moral of the story is the way my anxiety is set up, everybody is a goddamn threat and should be treated as such. I don't have nothing else to say, man. Please give Kevin Bowie and the rest of those young punks the biggest hee-haw. I'm all for, you know, any type of rehabilitation. And I like talking about issues more than individuals.

The issue here is the fact that people are addicted to their phones. But where do these three young men go from here? What type of rehabilitation can be in their future? After you burn down a house and kill a whole family of five. They killed kids. The husband was 29, the wife was 23. 22 month old daughter. Okay?

A 25 year old relative was staying there and a 6 month old daughter. Come on, man. Come on, man. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Well deserved. Man, Lord have mercy Alright well When we come back Jess Fix My Mess

It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Jess Fix My Mess. Hello. Who's this? This is Joy. Hey, Joy. What's your question for Jess? My question is, should your ex still be in contact with your family and coming by after you broke up?

Okay, your phone is messed up. But the question that you asked me, I did understand it. You said, should your ex still be coming by your family's house after y'all broke up right and contacting them and contacting them okay so did you move on move on or is this like something that y'all do y'all on and off you know it's officially done it's officially done i got you because sometimes that happens in cases where the family knows that the breakup is not going to be forever people break up get back together that's why it's on again, off again. But I actually have a problem with my own mom doing this. So I definitely can sympathize with you.

My mom is an angel. She connects with everybody. She likes to pray for people and all that. Some people, they take advantage of that to still keep tabs on me. A couple of my exes still call my mom come see her and all that and i'm like ma you can tell them no it's okay for you to stop doing this now because you're not getting back with my daughter she she doesn't look back when she moves forward um do you have a conversation with your family because that's a

conversation with your family you can't control what he did right i actually called my sister this morning because i failed call to ask her a question and she said yeah he came by a few days ago and i need you know i'm just like why it's been a couple of months now and officially done he hasn't contacted me but i think it's just his control and what i just want to feel be in control yeah definitely that they gotta your family gotta understand your boundaries because now that's they gotta understand boundaries that this is not this is not what you want to do this is not a person that you want to be with anymore so they gotta respect that

honestly and he can yeah i'm imagining he got his own family he can go lean on and talk to about things they ain't gotta keep contacting your, but if they're open to receiving him then that's what he gonna keep doing So there's gonna be a line drawn between Him and the family and everybody got to be on the same page with that. Yeah, I agree with that Yeah, definitely let them know and then update me and let me know girl Thank you, boo. Good luck. All right.

Just Fix My Mess. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Jess now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. X about me. Relationship problems. X about me.

You need to beat your co-worker's ass. X about me. Your co-worker need to beat your ass. Call it up. It's Dr. Jess and I'm here to fix your mess. It's getting very much messy. Let me fix it. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Just Fix My Mess. Hello, who's this? This is Andrew calling from New Carolina. Andrew, what's the matter, bro? You sound so depressed, defeated. No. So I recently just read my girl's diary and found out that she still has feelings for her ex, Chris.

Oh, and it's still your name, Chris. Jesus. The reason why I went through her diary is because she went through my phone when we first met and she didn't believe that I wasn't talking to other people. So I felt like she thought I was hiding something, but I felt like she's hiding something as well, and I found out.

Do you think I should confront her, Jess? Well, I don't think that's the reason to go through her phone. Just leave the reason out of it. Don't tell her that's the reason, because when y'all first met, she went through your phone. I mean, that was clowned out for her when y'all just met it's like damn i don't know if we are establishing something right now but um but if you waited this long to go because how long y'all been through how long y'all been together about four months oh four months okay so y'all technically

did just meet all right well she still has did Did you find out? Did she ever tell you, like, she was just getting out of a relationship when y'all decided to be friends? Or y'all never had that conversation? We did have that conversation. She did say she was just getting out. But I was, you know, she was saying that she wasn't, like, talking to anybody else because she just ended it. She had just ended it so so you took a risk on the fact that you know what I'm saying you trusted that

it would be over although she did tell you she was just getting out of a relationship they the type of risky relationships that you gotta watch out for cause you know what I mean cause she was still obviously hurt and unhealed and just getting out of something you know and and although You could have helped her with that

Sometimes we just not finished where you know that the door is not even closed Did they do anything or did she say she just had feelings for him in the diary? Well in the diary She was saying that you know she wished that I could be Chris I could be him she wished I was him and she was you know that, you know, she wished that I could be Chris. I could be him. She wished I was him. And she was, you know, disappointed on, you know, that I'm not doing stuff that he's doing. But she's telling me, you know, that, you know,

when I ask her certain things, she's telling me that, you know, she wants me to be me. She wants me to, you know, be, you know, she likes me for me. So I don't know what to believe yeah i think you should confront her about it i mean the fact i mean the damage is done you already did violate her privacy now you just gotta let her know you know be truthful with it don't even give her a reason though don't be like all right i did this because you went through my phone we first met nah because that's gonna make it seem tit for tat although like i said that was wrong that's still not grounds to ever touch somebody's journal

or diary however you you went through it and you found out some some stuff that you that you know it's always going to be in the back of your mind if you don't confront her she wants you to be a whole nother like what what are we talking about, you definitely have to sit her down and talk to her about that. But just know, you did take a big risk jumping into a relationship with her. After she told you that she was fresh out of one, you know? Yeah. I really like her. I really do.

I can tell. Yeah, and I'm sorry about this. But definitely confront her, King, because your feelings matter as well. Thank you, Jess. No problem. No problem. All right. Good luck, brother.

All right. Just Fix My Mess, 800-585-1051. When we come back, we got Jess with the mess. What are we talking about, Jess? Yo, sweetie said she remember when she was a stripper. She was a stripper? Yeah, she was a stripper for a short period of time. But she was stripping. She was in these clubs. Okay. a stripper for a short period of time but she was

stripping she was in these clubs okay we'll talk about it when we come back good morning morning everybody is dj envy jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now let's get to just with the mess Don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spell nobody. Worldwide jest. Worldwide magic. On the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shift. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.

It's time to set it off. So breaking news, Cassie just released a um following the assault video that popped up and um she's basically thanking her family and her friends and strangers um who she has yet to meet for the outpouring of love and uh it created a place for her younger self to settle and um to feel safe now you know but she she does stress that this is only the beginning and domestic violence is the issue it broke her down to someone that she never thought that she would become um and then also she said her only ask is that everyone open their heart to believing victims the first time it takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you are powerless in um and then she says she offers her hand to those who are still living in fear and encourages them

to reach out to their people. Don't cut them off and no one should carry this weight alone. So that's basically what she did. And she regrets, you know, how she went about it, you know, but she felt powerless. She was fearful and we do wish her the best. So she said her healing journey is never ending, but this supports, this support means everything to me love cassie absolutely and um you know one thing that i i love that statement and i love that she's standing up for for other victims but i love what her husband wrote her husband left a comment and said i love you so much you're the perfect example of our daughters for our daughters which i love yeah definitely so sending healing energy her way absolutely and other news so the simpsons showrunner addresses viral diddy predictions so the simpsons have been

known for predicting major moments in pop culture as we all know like the ebola outbreak the game of thrones series finale the titanic submersible disaster just to name a few. And the one we can't forget, Donald Trump's presidency. A photo surfaced online claiming Diddy's legal issues were predicted and featured in an episode of The Simpsons. The picture shows Diddy as a Simpsons character wearing a pink suit and being chased by the police. But The Simpsons showrunner Matt Salmon said that that was never an episode of sim of the simpsons and the picture is an ai fake he said in quotes in the current era of digital misinformation the simpsons predictions or more accurately coincidences have become meaningless any goofball can whip up an ai image based on a current event and say the simpsons predicted and decent but

easily misled folks will believe it because they so very wanted to be true. I totally agree with him. Then he also added that the Simpsons famous predictions are made by studying history because the foolishness of humanity repeats itself. So basically, he's just saying like he just watches like

what happened in history and it's always bound to repeat itself which means not wrong about that either. Yeah. But Donald Trump being president, I would, I know that's very specific, but it's like,

it must've been like the Donald Trump. Do you ever remember Donald Trump back in the day saying like, yo, I could be the president of the United States. Like back in the day, you never heard him say that. Okay. Cause I know he's always been cocky.

Like always has the head, that attitude to say that no i didn't see that one even the ebola a breakout yeah i could see that one but not the donald trump for presidency or even uh anything else happening in this world like you got to take a lot of guests to get those yeah uh and lady gaga performing at the superbowl every time like he predicted that too that was actually in an episode as well. So yeah. So he said he's not psychic guys and he's not a conspiracy theorist. He just watches time and it repeats itself. But I definitely want him to pick my lotto numbers just in case though.

Just in case. Just in case. Right, yo. Sweetie reflects on working in a strip club. So I know I said that she was a stripper. But no, this is actually funny. She did an interview. She did an interview on The Cruise Show on 92.3 The Real LA,

and she reportedly worked at the strip club to pay her bills and school fees while she was a student at USC. I was working at the strip club being a waitress. What strip club did you work at? Yeah. I worked at Dames and Games. No way! If I go and throw your name at the door, am I good?

Am I in? I had a different name. Oh, shoot. My name was Carmen. I intentionally went there because it's not popular like in the black community. And I don't want nobody from like my family or my friends of my family seeing me work at the strip club. I get that. So she wasn't a stripper.

She wasn't. So I just seized it. But no, she wasn't a stripper she wasn't sure i just teased that um but no she wasn't a stripper and she was actually a waitress and she's actually actually uh in a longer clip she said that she tried to work at other restaurants to be a waitress like you know buffalo wild wings but those that money didn't compare to the money that she was getting at the strip club yeah and uh and a lot of the clubs the bartenders and the actual waitresses make more money than the actual strippers i know a lot of these clubs, the strippers got to break down the money with other people. But I know with the bartenders and waitresses, that's their money.

That's how the name The Star Tenders became so big because the bartenders were making more than the strippers. Absolutely. So, yeah, that is the news. My girl wasn't no stripper. No, she was a bartender. She was a bartender. Well, that is just with the mess. Now, before we get to the mix, I got to tell everybody, save the date.
