Okay. So it was her first day in school. So I guess school really burnt her out, and she wasn't trying to do nothing. So at about 7 o'clock, she was knocked out. That's all you need? And that's what I needed right then and there. When she got home, she ate, and she went out. Only rookie parents stay up after their kids go to sleep.

No. You learn that when you got young kids, when they go to bed, your ass should go to bed, too. You go to sleep, yes. My iPhone tells me that at 720 that my bedtime is in an hour. You know when the kid's bedtime is? Around the same time. Yeah, my kid's bedtime. Once they wash up and they eat and they're in that bed, I'm right behind them.

Oh, we got a worldwide exclusive, too. I haven't heard it yet, so let's listen to this together. What is it? This is the weekend and future, and it's called Double Fantasy. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Okay. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. That was the weekend and future Double Fantasy. It's the Breakfast Club of the Morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.

Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. That was the weekend in future Double Fantasy. That's a little skating ring bop. I haven't skated in years, but that song definitely is a rolling ring music. That's the kind of music make you write a little letter where you go with me, yes and no.

Check a box. Yeah. Little bop. Little bop. All right. Well, let's get to the front page news. Start off with sports. Now, the Nets beat the Se...

Oh, sorry. 76ers beat the Nets 102-97. The Suns beat the Clippers 129-124. And the Warriors beat the Kings 114-97. Okay, Warriors. See, they're back at home now. See, the Warriors can win at home. They have trouble winning on the road.

They're not a good road team this year for whatever reason. And, of course, Draymond Green didn't play because he was suspended. Now, what else we got, Ms. Teslin Figueroa? How are you feeling, first of all? I'm feeling good. I am in Atlanta for the first ever Black Effect Podcast Network Festival. And flew in on Southwest. And I noticed you guys waited until I left yesterday to throw all this Southwest Airlines shade for donkey of the day.

Oh, yeah. That dude from Orlando that was on the Southwest flight. Was there any crying babies on your flight, Tess? It was not. But that had nothing to do with Southwest. It was that gentleman that called, well, not gentleman, but that idiot that caused the problem. But I shout out to you for throwing that shade when I left, though. I'm glad you made it safely on Southwest.

Yeah, you and me both. You one it safely on Southwest. You and me both. You're one of the blessed ones. Yes, I did. Now, let's talk about this former pro wrestler. Now, he's charged with welfare fraud. Yes, yes, yes, yes. While House Republicans are trying to cut food stamp benefits, which we're going to talk about later this morning, rich people in Mississippi are running welfare scams from the food program. Former professional wrestler Ted Teddy Tobias Jr. of Madison, Mississippi. What? The million dollar man?

Yes, the million dollar man is running a million dollars worth of schemes. He received sham company contracts and misspent millions of dollars of welfare money that was supposed to help some of America's most needy, most neediest people. The indictment is the latest development in an ongoing Mississippi corruption case involving wealthy and well-connected people receiving contracts from the State Department of Human Services from 2016 to 2019. Now, according to the indictment, Davis directed funds from the Emergency Food Assistance Program and the Temporary Assistance for Needed Families to buy a vehicle, a boat, and for a down payment on a house, among other things. He is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and to commit theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, six counts of wire fraud, two counts of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, and four counts of money laundering. Now, when I read this story, it reminded me of the great Fannie Lou Hamer and what she said about Mississippi in 1968.

Take a listen. Mississippi is still a very rough place. You know, people is not just walking up like they used to do in the past, walking out, you know, shooting a man down or getting maybe two or three hundred people carrying you out and lynching you, but it's in a small, subtle way. You know, they let you starve to death, not give you jobs. These are some of the things that's happening right now in Mississippi. See, Mississippi is not actually Mississippi's problem. Mississippi is America's problem. That was 55 years ago. Fannie Lou Hamer was talking about Mississippi. So this is another example. So if he is convicted of this, he will face five years in prison for the conspiracy count and up to 20 years for each wire fraud count in 10 years for the count of theft concerning programs with federal funds.

I can't believe you, Ted DiBiase. Rick Flair would never. And what makes rich Americans think that if they cut welfare, that's going to work out for them? Like if people can't eat, if people can't afford food who you think they're eventually gonna come after yeah they come in where the wealth is at you jeopardizing your own safety and your own well-being because those same people that starving gonna find a way to survive and that survival is gonna come from taking what you got best believe that yep and we're gonna talk about that more uh next hour about how they are trying to cut uh the stamp program. All right. Well, thank you, Tez. We'll see you in a little bit. Get It Off Your Chest is next. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.

Again, 800-585-1051. Get It Off Your Chest is the breakfast club. Oh, it's Ted DiBiase's son, Teddy Jr. Oh, it's the Jr.? Yeah, the Jr. Oh, okay. The million-dollar son. Okay, the million-dollar son.

Yes. All right. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. The breakfast club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. How you feeling? I'm better now. How are you? You doing good. What's up? Good morning, Mariah.

Talk to us. Uncle Charlotte. Oh my God. What's happening? Oh wow. Okay. So I just have two things to get off my chest. First, I want to say I appreciate, Charlotte, how you put on or support teachers. I am a very, very stressed and overworked teacher in Georgia. And I just want to say I need people to just have a better level of respect for us

because it's really, really hard out here. But also, I need people to respect on my bank account. I'm working way too hard to be as broke as I am. My mother was a public school teacher and the most she ever made in Berkeley County Monk's Corner was, I think, $30,000

she said. Wow. A year. Oh, sweet Jesus. Yeah. With inflation, it's about the equivalent too. So, yeah, I just want to deal with that because the IRS is about to be coming for me. Because even as a broke teacher, I owe money to taxis and I don't know how that happens. I feel like teachers should be tax exempt. Don't you feel like teachers should be tax exempt if you work at a public school?

I think so. Yes. My life would be so much easier. But, you know, here we are. And the second thing I want to say is I need people to get rid of this irrational idea that family is supposed to just ride or die no matter what. Oh, I agree. If family is jeopardizing your peace, they can go just like the next person.

That's right. That's exactly right. My therapist tells me the same thing. I've been realizing that way before therapy, though. That's part of boundaries. Family is some of the first people you end up cutting off in your life. Yeah, but then tells me the same thing. I've been realized that way before therapy, though, that that's part of boundaries. Family, some of the first people you end up cutting off in your life. Yeah, but then I'm the bad guy when I speak up for myself and I'm just over it. I got a really bad phone call from my brother yesterday. That's just when you pray to God to take negativity out your life.

He's not swinging at, you know, just just things. He's swinging at spirits and energy. And sometimes that spirit and energy consists in people in your family. It might be your brother, your mother, your sister. It is what it is. Oh, yeah. Oh, I needed to hear that. Thank you. Yes.

What grade do you teach, Mariah? I am an eighth grade history teacher. Okay. Specifically, Georgia history. And let me tell you, very problematic, but here we are. I'm going to buy you lunch today, Mariah. What what's your cash app tell us your cash app uncle charlotte um my cash app is of course the money sign raya r-i-a-h and then lex l-e-x r-i-a-h and the letter what lex no uh l-e-x like le Raya. Oh, money sign Raya Lex.

Mariah Colon. I see you. Colon. Wait, put some respect on me. I'm Puerto Rican. Colon. Mariah Colon. I'm going to send you some money for lunch, man.

Enjoy your day. Honestly, I love the lunch, but what's up with this podcast festival tomorrow? I'm here. You in Atlanta? Yes. Damn, Eddie, get her email, man. Let's see if we can get Mariah Some tickets I know we sold out

This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning.

Bro, what the hell was that? I'm sorry. I was drinking some water. Oh, I was about to say, don't call up here. You know, you and your boyfriend Doing what y'all do Early in the morning I got a little kinky on a Friday Yeah leave us out of it

Look I was trying to drink some water Okay Glad you hydrated I was listening To just say good morning And how much I appreciate y'all So And um

Just wish everybody A happy Friday Okay Thank you brother And also I want to get your advice on something. Yes, sir. Well, I know, Charlemagne, you always talking about our black kings and this and, you know,

just try to keep those black people encouraged. And, Charlemagne, I wasn't reading. I'm good, you know, trying to get into spiritual walk and everything. And I want to ask you, Charlemagne, have you ever read the second page of the Bible? The second page? Yeah, not Genesis. There's a page on the second page of the Bible.

If you got it in free time, would you read that in your spare time and just give us feedback on the radio whenever you can? Yeah, what's the chapter though? What's the chapter and verse? Like, would it just read

the second page of the Bible? That's random. Yeah, right after the first verse like what is this just read the second page of the bible that's random yeah right after the first page that says the whole about the second page it's a letter address and i about flipped when i seen that this page says something about how the american government don't supposed to run this land because i'm all about the injustice here that goes on in the world. And I believe that, you know, the world is so corrupt because we as black Americans didn't get a fair shot to knowing God. Like, we got God through slavery and everybody else got God through love. And we know that God has built a kingdom of heaven built off love.

And we know slavery is not love and i think because of that our our race is just like this is the aftermath of like lying on god when we know god don't lie and if god said i'm building the kingdom off of love you know who gives the europeans the right to put us in slave and call it god love i see what you're saying And I do feel like America Is never gonna You know Get on the right track Until it takes care of its original sin

It has to have atonement For its original sin Which was the enslaving of Africans I agree with that Hello who's this? And the killing of indigenous people Hey This is Lamar from Tougaloo

Hey Lamar Get it up your chest Tougaloo, Mississippi Hey Yeah I wanted to talk about The welfare with Ted DiBiase. Junior. Man, this been going on longer than 2016. I think I heard about it before.

It was around about 2013. It seemed like all the white wanted to just take over the money from Mississippi even though we ain't got that much. Yeah. I mean, that's the same thing with Brett Favre. You know, he was, you know, remember all the hot water he was in for his connection to the welfare scandal? Was that $77

million of money that was misappropriated? Yep. Yeah. I'm going to make me feel better about people getting PPP loans out of here. The only difference is we go to jail when we do our fraud and our scamming for PPP loans. They don't.

All right. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. When we come back, we got your rumor report. We got to tell you about designer. You remember designer, panda, panda, panda, panda, panda. Well, he exposed himself on a plane.

Or you gossiping Or you chatty patting I'm gossiping This is the rumor report I mean, I guess we on the breakfast club This is where the tea spills, right? Yes, on the breakfast club. If you went to your Twitter yesterday, you probably realized that the blue checks are

gone for most of you, alright? Now Twitter removed blue checks from damn near everybody. From all the legacy verified accounts including Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Oprah, myself. Mine is gone.

I'm sure Charlamagne's is gone. Let me go look. I don't be on Twitter. I ain't been on Twitter in like five years. Yes. And if you want that blue check, they want you to pay. Let me see if my blue check gone. Turn on notifications.

Yep. I ain't got no blue check. Yep. There you go. I could care less. LeBron James did get his blue check back he paying for that? no people assumed he paid for it

but Elon Musk insinuated that he's personally paying for some of celebrities blue checks like LeBron James so Elon Musk played for LeBron's blue check I could care less about Twitter Twitter is not good for my mental health that's why I got off Twitter 5 2017? 2018? something like that.

I mean, you know, I let, like if I'm promoting a TV show or promoting something, I let the, you know, people have access to it to post that. But other than that, I don't know. Now, there was a Kanye West sighting. Now, Kanye West and his wife were at the Fear of God show at the Hollywood Bowl Wednesday night. He was dressed up at, fully masked out. He still got a blue check?

I'm not sure if Kanye got a blue check. But him and his wife were fully masked out. You couldn't see them. You know, they wear those funny outfits where you can't see none of their face at all. They gotta look through like a sheet or something to see through. Every day is Halloween. Yeah, pretty much. So he was at that fashion show. People were looking for him and

people were looking for him. There's a sighting every once in a while. They'll be like, where's Kanye? Where's Kanye? Well, that's where he was at that uh fashion show if you were looking for him and if he was looking for him because you know there's a sighting every once in a while they'd be like where's kanye where's kanye well that's where he was now designer kanye's uh ex-artist uh he's seeking some mental help now he was having problems as he was on tour out in thailand and tokyo they said he was feeling sick and they gave him some pills. Well, on his flight back, they said that he exposed himself on the plane. What do you mean exposed? That's all they're saying, that he exposed himself. Like pulled his meat out?

That's what I would assume. We're told that he exposed himself and was scolded by a flight attendant. Well, this is what he posted yesterday. He said, for the past few months, I have not been okay. And I've been struggling to come to terms with what is going on while overseas for a concert i performed at i had to be admitted into a hospital i was not thinking clearly they gave me meds and i had to hop on a plane home i am ashamed of my actions that happened on that plane i landed back to the states and uh admitted himself into a facility to help him i will be

canceling all my shows and obligations until further notice mental health is real guys please pray for me if you're not feeling like yourself please get help designer that's right man listen it's okay to not be okay yeah but it's not okay to know you're not okay and stay that way so i respect that brother uh for going to get help yeah shout shout to designer he wasn't arrested or anything for exposing himself they said when the plane landed uh police did come speak with him but he wasn't arrested but i'm happy he's getting the help that he needs absolutely shout to design don't blame that on just you know some people like will blame that on just being i'm rock star lifestyle before you meet out anywhere nope the man going to get

help i respect it now in more ysl trial news now a defense attorney uh was arrested for carrying prescription drugs they believed they was carrying in to give to one of his clients uh it has been brought to the court's attention that mr monetas has been taken into custody this morning due to that particular issue um the court's going to go ahead and sever mr farley on its own motion. I'm doing that based upon a couple of cases. Hill v. State at 239 Georgia 278, as well as Harrington v. State at 315 Georgia Appeals 101. It's basically both cases read in tandem, say for the proposition that I as the trial court have

discretion to sever even on my own motion prior to trial and since we have not impaneled the jury and haven't been sworn I'm going to exercise that particular discretion on the court's behalf. Now they believe he was allegedly sneaking drugs in court for his client uh they said we have increased the security protocol because they're saying that drugs have been an issue during the trial there is no way this is a real trial this is an episode of power man 50 cent courtney kemper behind this there is no way how much could you possibly be paying your lawyer that they're gonna sneak you drugs into the trial. Ain't no way in hell. What is the name of this law firm?

I don't know. Is it the same lawyer that was yelling cap? No, that's not the same lawyer. We'll say allegedly, but what I've been noticing, especially in this case, it seems like to me that a lot of these brothers that are locked up are going through withdrawal because maybe they've been taking these pills all the time and they haven't been able to get it in jail. And I guess family members, friends, and attorneys even are trying to help them out with this situation. But that's what it seems like.

I think you're absolutely right. But if that's the case, how come these guys just don't say, look, I need help. Why don't they send these brothers to rehab? I know that they're in the midst of a trial. But, you know, if you're going to keep putting them in these facilities and calling them correctional facilities, how about trying to correct some of these issues that these brothers have? Like, why can't these brothers be going to rehab while they're, you know, facing trial? I agree.

Why sit in your jail cell and go through withdrawals? Just admit you got a problem. And I wonder if those jails do have those facilities to help. If they don't, I know the state does. Yeah, maybe the state. Because they're pretty much in holding cells while they're on court. They're not, you know, but I know the state does. Yeah, maybe the state. Because they're pretty much in holding cells while they're on court. They're not, you know. But I hope that they do.

But when you see somebody trying to pass thug drugs and you see this happening and people are willing to risk it all to get those drugs in the jail, it just seems like a bigger problem. That's right. So go get them. Them brothers need to admit that they need help. You know what I mean? Whoever they are. I don't know who the drugs are for, but they need to just admit that they need some type

of help and go get it while they're sitting there, you know, and fighting trial. Alright, well that is your rumor report. I'm sorry, Jesus, I didn't mean to bring you in this. I know you ain't got nothing to do with it. Alright, now when we come back we got your front page news. Teslin Figueroa will be joining us. And let's get on this joint we played earlier today. It's a worldwide exclusive.

It's The Weeknd featuring Future, Double Fantasy, and it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Introducing The Game, a new single from The Lox, Rick Ross, and Fat Joe. This track is more than just a tribute for hoops culture. It's a lifestyle. Find out more at DraftKings.com slash The Game.

Available now on all major streaming platforms. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Available now on all major streaming platforms. But the Warriors beat the Kings 114-97. The Suns beat the Clippers 124-129. And the 76ers beat the Nets 102-97. Now, what else are we talking about this morning? Where do you want to start? Want to start with the food stamps? Yeah, let's start with the food stamps.

On last hour, I played a clip, 1968, from the great Fannie Lou Hamer about how they will try to take your food away. And that is exactly what is happening right now. Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is pitching changes to the federal food stamp program that would increase the number of people who have to show they're working in order to be eligible to receive the food stamps. Now, the proposal is a part of a larger legislative framework to raise the nation's debt limit for one year while scaling back on federal spending. Right now, many people ages from 18 to 50 who rely on food stamps are subject to work reporting requirements. McCarthy is looking to raise that

age range to 56. Now, advocates worry that if that happens, more people will be shut out of the program. The SNAP director for the Food Research and Action Center, Ellen Vollinger, says it's pretty feasible that this is going to lead to more food hardship and that it doesn't do anything to improve people's employability. It will just take away from people that are unable to meet the documented requirements. Now, more than 9.5 million adults age 50 and older rely on food stamps. And if Republicans in the House pass this, it faces an uphill battle in the Democrat controlled

Senate. So in other words, this is highly unlikely that this would pass the Senate. But I still wanted the family to know what is being proposed. And just know the first law of nature is self-preservation. So when you take people's food stamps away and crime goes up because of it, you know, just because people are just trying to survive, don't be surprised and don't be, don't use that as an excuse to be tough on crime because you shouldn't have cut their food stamps in the first place. Absolutely. And I just want to say this note. I was an employer in Florida, maybe about a decade ago, I had 300 employees and I know there's, you know, folks that are going to say, well, they should just show, you know,

that they're working. And one of the things that I want to point out, that is not always an easy thing to do, particularly if you work part time, if your hours are unpredictable. If one week you have a certain amount of hours, the next week you don't. Right now, you have to show that you work 20 hours every week. And so what happens is if they don't have that documentation in on time, then it prevents them from getting programs. And actually, I challenged the NBA during the NBA lockout in 2011. I came up with a program called Assist the Bench. And it was one of these things very similar to this that was showing that if these part time employees or people that don't

have consistent work, they're not able to show documentation to federal programs. They lose access to food stamp benefits. You know, I understand. I understand of the economy, you know, the way the economy is right now and inflation being sky high. Should you be making it easier for people to get government assistance instead of harder? Absolutely. Especially when we consider how much money is going to Ukraine. Let's make sure, you you know that we feed our american citizens so hopefully this won't make it through but it's still important you know for folks to know what what is actually being proposed that's right all right now let's talk about uh the

workplace you ever work in a workplace where they got somebody in there that bothers you all the time and bullies you all the time you ever work in a place like that i haven't worked in a place like that but i'm familiar with one oh me, me too. Let's talk about this toxic positivity in the workplace. I do. I'm toxic positivity. What is that? I like how that sounds. I'm glad you asked that question.

Toxic positivity and how it's bad for your workplace. Now, according to licensed clinical psychologist and therapist Lauren Cook, toxic positivity is an unwavering devotion to optimism that can minimize or disregard when someone like DJ Envy is in emotional pain. Yes. In other words, toxic positivity makes you believe that you should have a positive mindset no matter what you're going through. And I actually, I want people to think about this in their personal relationship as well, platonic and romantic.

It's something that causes you to disassociate from your negative feelings and pretend that it's all rainbows and butterflies when it is not now you may recognize phrases like good vibes only look for the silver lining well those are phrases that typically gloss over genuine problems in the workplace they may have good intentions when they say that but what it does is it dismisses negativity that can create a false positive facade. Now, in a survey, nearly 60% of respondents say that they have experienced toxic positivity from someone in the previous weeks. And more than 75% of respondents admitted that they ignore their own emotions in favor of

being happy. So I want to give you a few side effects on how toxic positivity affects your mental health. And then I'm going to tell you a few things what you can do to fix it. So number one, it invalidates employees' feelings and experiences. Number two, it creates a culture of avoidance. And number three, it triggers feelings of shame. Now what you can do, DJ Envy, to avoid this toxic positivity is one you can start setting up some boundaries and speaking up to charlamagne i'm gonna set a boundary right now you don't pass this air force one first of all there's nothing there's no toxic positivity in

this workplace continue what else can i do two you can call it out when you see others doing it stop doing it charlamagne we do that all the time. Shut up. What's number three? What's three, Tess? Number three, understand that it's okay, DJ Envy, not to be okay. By the way, that's the first thing you learn in therapy. It's okay to not be okay. And when you go to therapy, the therapist is going to tell you to feel your feels. So there ain't no toxic positivity in here because nobody in here bite their tongue.

When we feel a way about something, we express it fulfill your feelings i don't know i'm gonna push back because when dj envy lost his uh jury you know he was he set up boundaries he spoke up he came in empathetic uh you know and you said you know hey look on the bright side you're still rich so that was an example of i think that you should apologize and give me a hug i don't think that was an example of toxic positivity i actually laughed that you should apologize and give me a hug. I don't think that was an example of toxic positivity. I actually laughed when you lost the jury because I thought it was funny.

Also, that was just regular toxic then. That was just plain old toxic. That was just plain old toxic. That was toxic. That's all. That's all that was. Well, thank you, Teslin.

Got to be right from behind That don't sound right Alright, when we come back Chloe Bailey will be joining us My cousin She has a new album called In Pieces There's a lot going on with her She's heading on tour

She has a movie out She's on tour Oh, she's on tour Yeah, she's on tour right now And we're going to talk to her when we come back So don't move Chloe Bailey when we come back It's The Breakfast Club on BET

Good morning The Breakfast Club back guys so don't move chloe bailey when we come back it's the breakfast club on bet good morning the breakfast club we got nyla hanging with us this morning yes yes and we have a special guest who charlamagne claims is a family i don't know why you keep saying and we say this all the time because when we announced that your album came out he didn't even know your album came out and i forced him that is not true wow that is not true and we played the song i played uh the missy record and chris brown record that morning but i had to make him download the records he didn't even know that's not true i don't know

now that's right you said you bought it you bought it right we don't download music but you said you bought it listen in pieces is out right now okay did you buy it. I see. Loyal. Listen, In Pieces is out right now. Okay, did you buy it? All right. Did all y'all people online complaining, making noise buy it? I streamed it. Okay. How you feeling this morning? I feel great.

I'm so happy. Like, the past two days, I've been feeling, like, great, to be honest. The week and a half, like, before, it was, like, a little rocky. But tour kind of been getting me out the funk because the shows have been amazing. They've all been sold out. And everyone's singing every lyric to every song. So I'm like the love is real in real life So I've been feeling good. Why were you in a funk? I know you wasn't letting these these digital heads on the internet Well, I mean like you're like we're all human so of course some things are gonna bother you and I think when you put so much time and effort into

The art of everything and it's really a conceptual album. My executive produced it. I produced on 12 out of the 14 songs on there. I had a lot of incredible, amazing talent on the project. So I was just like, it's OK. Come at me, bro. So I'm ready for what's next, to be honest. What's the title mean, In Pieces?

Yes. So In Pieces, it's kind of like a double entendre. So in pieces represents the pieces of my heart that has been left broken from life situations, relationships, things like that. People stabbing you in the back. And then it also means what's left in pieces is the box that people try to put me in on who they think Chloe is. And, you know, I just have to speak for myself and break through it. That's what it means. It's like the simp side and then the place of power side. It has to be difficult. Because people have seen you grow up. So it's like they've seen you as this young girl. So now when you break it out into your own, it has to be difficult for your fans, I guess, right? Maybe, maybe not. I'm really proud of my sister and I because we've been branching out on our own successfully.

And people are getting to know who we are individually. And I'm so blessed that I grew up with her in life so we could go through everything together. And it came to a point where we were so dependent on one another, like we were Siamese twins. And so what forced us apart was her going to London to shoot Little Mermaid and, you know, me being in L.A. And especially with the pandemic, the travel restrictions going to another country was crazy. So as stressful as it was for the both of us we both had separation anxiety it like forced us to figure out okay who's Chloe who's Holly so now when we come back together it's going to be even stronger because now we also have a great sense of self did y'all recognize the growth in each other you and Holly like when y'all finally did get back together did she see growth in you did

you see growth yes the crazy thing is growing up it was me who was afraid to speak up so like she would be the one speaking up for me and like she's the Aries like younger sister yes she's the like don't mess with her and it would always be me like oh my gosh I like I don't like confrontation things like that and so because of that I had to force myself to speak up for myself because I didn't have my sister right there doing it for me. So now I'm very independent and very vocal and I say what I mean and I mean what I say. And she's recognized that she's like, well, you're like a completely different person. I'm so proud of her because she's confident who she is as an individual as well. Like we both were missing that

and now we both found it so it's like we're stronger did that change because you missed your sister or was it a relationship that made you change it was writing your music that made you say what was that change that's a great question i think it was a combination of everything i think it got to a point where i realized if i don't fight for myself then i'm just gonna be left in the dust and if I don't speak up for what I want and speak up for who I am as a human being then like it's just going to fall on deaf ears and closed mouths don't get fed so you know throughout the music I was finding my strength because I was saying things that I was afraid to say or speak up to certain individuals and then from there it just

grew from that it was like it just kept growing and growing. And now it can't really stop. I feel like growing up as women, we're taught to like not be so vocal. So now that you are being vocal, do you feel like you're being a bitch? Do you feel like you have to turn on a new version of yourself? Absolutely not. It's not about what you say, but how you say it. You can command a room without having to bark so loud. And as long as you believe in what you're saying and you don it you can command a room without having to bark so loud and as long as you

believe in what you're saying and you don't change in that for anybody people will respect you was was pray away based on a true story yes so i wrote that song with my girl jazzy and i kept seeing her like three four times a week at every event and i'm all about signs like i i don't feel there are any coincidences in life and I was like so the final place I saw her now there's gonna be a dude that's gonna find out but I was like okay so we passed each other going to the ladies room at the studio and I was like I got back in my session I said so I texted her I was like can you come in here and she played me a few demos and it was the skeleton of pray it away it was originally called

church I was like I'm in love with this because I loved how open it was it was completely raw and honest and for me I've always learned to just be the bigger person and turn the other cheek and it's like sometimes you do want to get down and dirty and get on that person same level but I will never give anyone that power over me so it's like you know i'm gonna pray it away so it was quite easy to finish out the song because there has been people who have tried me and i love it i really do when the last time you really wanted a person hurt because that's what the song that's what the song is about you want

a person hurt but then having to pray it away i think the last time I felt like I wanted somebody to hurt, five days ago. She's growing five days. She's growing five days. She said, I've been growing. How long? Five days. When you say hurt though, you don't really mean hurt. You just mean like you want them to feel how you feel.

Yes. Okay. But the thing is, we never have to do the work. Like karma speaks for itself. So never give someone power to get you out of your character you've never been like or you don't believe in like spite like I got to get my get back no I don't because I don't want it to come back to me in turn so I just let them dig themselves in a

ditch wait a minute there's a record on the album that pisses me off and it's called opposite cheat back okay that record pissed me off okay so why does it why does it piss you off because that's cruel and unusual because he believes in double standards you don't get back like that not this is hypothetically speaking an alternate universe yes you're with someone she continues to cheat time and time again because you love her so much and she keeps saying she's going to change. You stay. But at a certain point, aren't you going to want to get something back so you don't feel like a yes.

Yes. OK. I'll just break up with her, though. Will you? No. We're cancer. OK. OK.

See my point. But have you ever been in a situation where you had to get your you say it's not revenge but revenge that way because that's revenge so i have been cheated on a few times and it's like in my head i feel like i got them back after the fact after the relationship and i'm like hot you'll never know it's just for like a little internal damn how did you catch the person cheating you said a couple of times jesus christ yeah the two times i've been cheated on social media and social media evidence how'd you okay what on social media like it was posted such and such it was like yeah it was multiple things on social media and then evidence like panties and hair ties oh let me ask you a question when you asked him did he reply yes, ma'am. No, they try to deflect hey, that's my sister's or something

Hey, hmm. Did they lie me like that's my sisters and my cousins Yeah They really said that was his sisters or cousins But not another woman did you break up immediately or did you feel like... Yes. Okay. I did. Good for you.

And I block because we're cancers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I don't want to see my phone blowing up. I don't want to see loving long text messages because I don't want to be a simp and crawl back. That's right. And we love so hard that when you do us dirty, it's a wrap. Yeah. Do you double back at all?

I did one time. I did. And I was like, nope, it ended for a reason yeah yeah all right we got more with chloe bailey when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning everybody it's dj mv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club nila simone is here she's kicking it with us and we're kicking it with chloe bailey charlamagne one of your favorite records is body do right now yeah my favorite one is Dew. I feel like that should have been the single. Like that one, that's a good, especially now that the weather's getting warm and stuff like that.

But why did you start the record like that? Why do you ever wonder who else is f***ing your man? Yes. Okay, so I wrote Body Dew after I found the panties. Jesus. Yes. And it's like, you know when someone's not good for you, but there's something within you that just misses them. You miss their touch. You miss like the connection that you have.

So what I really I wrote that song in five minutes because I was quite angry. But I love the juxtaposition of how fun it sounds like you just shaking ass, but it's quite toxic and sad. And it's like, I can't trust you as far as I can throw you. I can't trust what you tell me, but I can trust what that body do. Because you're right in front of me. So, does that mean body language? Yes, like what goes on behind closed doors. That girl wanted you to find those panties too, by the way.

I think so. That girl wanted you to find those panties. I think so. She knew who you was. She was like, I'm going to give this to my kid. They were nice. I never... Hers.

I never fault the other woman. Because I'm not in a relationship with her. I didn't do that. I didn't touch or smell them. They're not. Wait, Walmart? That's how you really kill them. I don't know.

I wasn't paying attention that much. I like that you said that. I've heard a few men say, like, why do they never be mad at the woman for knowing I have a girl and they're doing X, Y, and Z? Because. And I don't agree with that sentiment.

Yeah. I've heard men say that. I don't like how society has taught us as women to compete with each other like if you flip it again if two dudes find out about each other they're not calling each other going back and forth oh so let's compare stories right they're just moving on because they're not bashing you yeah some the immature ones yeah but i don't think no dude's gonna leave a sock and be like, I want this other dude to find my sock or whatever.

Some men are petty. Men will do a pull-up, though. They'll definitely pull up, try to make it awkward or something like that. Oh, that's never happened to me. Has that happened to you? That hasn't happened to me, but I watched it happen to my friend. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Damn. I would be sitting there with some popcorn. Why did you say the panties were nice, though? They were cute. That's what I said. They were cute. But she left that there. She wanted to come with your popcorn. Why did you say the panties were nice though? They were cute. That's what I said. They were cute. But she left that there. She wanted to kill your father.

That would scare the hell out of you. Your woman be like, I found a cute pair of panties. And I know they're not mine. Whoa. Was he quick on his feet at least? No. What can you say?

There's no answer to that. They're mine. The thing about women. That's a good one. That's a good one. What happened if he said they're mine? They are mine.

That's a different conversation. I'd be like,. Now, what happened if he said they're mine? They are mine. That's a good conversation. I'd be like, you know, baby, do we need to discuss some things? They are mine. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you asked. That conversation might be easier than the other one. You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying.

Now, what was it like recording I Want You to Feel Me Cry and Make It Look Easy? Because both those records felt very personal. So this album is quite toxic, to be honest. Feel Me Cry, as emotional and sad as it sounds, it's actually a quite sexually liberated song. It's double meanings to Feel Me Cry. With Make It Look Easy, that one was the most personal song in the record.

I went into the studio trying to just like forget what was going on in the record. I went into the studio trying to just like forget what was going on in my life and I thought I was just going to make like some fun and I heard these simple chords and I just started writing. Usually I'll go in the booth and freestyle a bunch of melodies and then like Frankenstein it together but I was just coming up with the melodies and writing it at the same time and I was crying while I was writing it and cutting in the booth and even after listening to the demo to hear if I wanted to fix anything I couldn't listen to it for a while because for the people who know me personally like it's a way deeper meaning like with hidden messages and what certain things mean within the lyrics so I'm really proud of myself

for being so open and honest and I was like I can't create a conceptual album about heartbreak and being left in pieces without being completely honest like yeah I can talk about relationships and friends stabbing me in the back but it's like why not talk or cover the other things because mental health is real anxiety is real feeling like you're not good enough is real feeling like you don't want to be here anymore is real and I've been through all that so I was like if I'm saying I'm going to be honest and I should put it within the music and I didn't really care if it sounded like a single or anything I just wanted to speak my truth absolutely are you off the internet as much now because I know you I know you're on it you watch it so here's the thing because I'm sure your therapist says that's the

major thing you got to stay off of social she does as well as my god mom she's me trying to still she sees me going on it um for me before it was easier to just like delete the apps off my phone but now i'm on tour i'm trying to promote my album like i can't just get off of it like i want to it's a part of my business so i have to like monitor myself because you can get down the rabbit hole and things like that and i'm not going to sit up here and lie and be like oh Oh yeah, like nothing bothers me. I'm great. Cause that's a lie.

But at the end of the day, it's like you have to fall so you can get back up and be stronger and you dust your shoulders off and you get back up. And when I would see people say, Oh, she does too much or she over sexualizes herself. I'm going to be 25 in like a couple months. I'm a grown woman.

Um, but I think because people grew up with my sister and i when we were younger they can't get past that but i'm like you know what i'm grateful that i'm breathing and whatever i'm stressing out about is not that big of a deal so you said you became that so what you started being more overly sexual on purpose or oh no no no i was changing myself i was trying to cover up i was trying to be on stage like oh because people like just have the mic and sing i was like okay but i expressed with my body you know i grew up in dance and i was younger like it's a form of expression i don't want to be predictable i don't want to be mediocre i want to be extraordinary and be like something you've never seen before and it's shocking isn't it strange because i remember the first video that went viral it was the bus it challenge i think

everybody loved you and then and then after a while it's like okay now she's doing too much yeah that's the crazy thing like even before sis and i got our own instagram pages like that's what i don't like when people try to pit family against each other or compare sisters like we're two complete individuals we will not be the same and if you go back and watch performances within the group i was still the same passionate moving no there's some funny videos yeah yeah yeah and before people would like praise that and it seemed like once i found confidence and my power within that people would then try to weaponize it because no one ever likes to see a black woman be confident within herself

speaking of pitting people against each other the internet the internet felt like Beyonce should have done more in regards to promoting your album what do you what do you have to say about that I love B and she supported my sis and I since we had our little locks on YouTube. So it's all love over here. I love her. Do you feel like the label could have supported more and pushed more? Because that's what nobody's talking about. Everybody want to blame Beyonce.

Where was the label at? Well, I feel like it's all politics, but this is what I'll say. God's plan is always greater than any plan I could come up with, and I'll tell you why. I shot Swarm and Praises last year. I didn't know when those were coming out. Swarm, whether it's negative or positive,

everybody had my name in their mouth maybe a week or an hour or two or a week and a half or two before my album. Then I was able to use, because Praise This is with Universal, shout out to Will Packer and Tina Gordon, I love them. I got to do this whole full press junket,

go on all these morning shows, go on all these talk shows, Jimmy Fallon, Drew Barrymore, all these great things to talk about the movie. And because God is so good, I was able to finesse that and also promote my album. So I am grateful that I have multiple avenues and multiple ways that I can make money and promote myself. And it's hard, but I love it. And because of that, that shows me that what God has for me will be for me. And I think that's what we all have to realize when we're fighting for ourself and fighting for a dream that no one can stop what God has for you.

All right, we have more with Chloe Bailey when we come back. Let's get into her joint body do. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Chloe Bailey. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Enj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we have nala simone here we're still kicking it with chloe bailey nala so you talked about stepping into your sexuality on the album and obviously we've been seeing it in the music videos and stuff like that but swarm that clip that was trending on

twitter it was people were making it sound like i'm getting calls like did you see did you see i'm like no i guess i'll go look at it and then i look and i'm like it's really not that it's two seconds yeah it's really not that yeah christ for a fall but that's like 10 minutes all right okay so that's 10 minutes man so this is man y'all don't ever think about us i know right never think about us so because god is good blessings flowing. I'm an actress as well. What I love about acting is that I'm not Chloe whenever I'm playing that certain character. And shout out to Donald Glover, Janine Neighbors, Dominique Fishback and Damson. Like we had the best time.

And when I was shooting on that set, I fell more in love with acting. I barely wore makeup. Everything was shot on film. In music, you win and thrive off of being this image of perfection or whatnot like you get clowned for messing up or tripping or falling on stage or looking a hot mess on the carpet but with acting that's where the beauty is with all of the flaws and you know the imperfection and things like that so I fell in love with the script now I totally like didn't even connect oh I have to do a sex scene i've never done a sex scene before and i was like okay well i'm not the focus of the scene it's

really about the shock value of dre and khalid watching each other and like you see the obsession between the sisters form at the beginning was it awkward shooting no no you see me for two seconds in the mirror and and you did not see titties. You did not even see crack. You saw everything. You saw everything that you see from me on stage. Like, let's keep it real. Did you have to call?

Like, when you told your dad, hey, dad, this is the scene. Or, you know, how was that conversation? Because a dad's still going to be a dad. My daughter's 21, and I don't care. For sure. She's still a dad. Yeah, I feel like dads will always look at their little girls like they're still little and that's totally fine i one thing i will say about my parents is that they know this is our job and so what was the call you called

hey dad hi baby how you feeling i just finished shooting what did you shoot go okay so it wasn't about the shoot it was about when i first got it and you know when the agents will call and be like congrats and after i got it i think my dad read the script and he's like oh okay he's like yeah he deleted twitter okay i'm not on this week the dad goes up a minute no it was just me i had to hop on a flight right after i bet you the internet doesn't realize how much more money they make you because if a two-second scene caused them to lose their mind like that, all that's going to make other people say, oh, we got to get Khloe in our movies. We got to get Khloe in our TV shows.

We got to get Khloe in endorsement deals. I like how you were saying. You can't see. She said it's working. When you say acting, you can be imperfect, and the music has to be perfect. Why can't you bring the imperfections to the music? Because I think like what's dope about Cardi B

is that you can hear she's from the Bronx. You know what I mean? And like the Spanglish she uses sometimes. Like why can't it be both? Well, I do do both but that's what people

ridicule me for. Being imperfect. Not being the type of image they want me to be. People say they want certain things and then when you do it that's what they used to pick on you the weirdest thing is when people say things like she don't know who

she is she's not being herself you don't know her thank you you don't even know her i'm sure they'd like me if they meet me i'm a really nice person i wanted to ask you're on a sold-out tour yeah does that mean that you're not going to be a special guest or that you are going to be a special guest on somebody else's tour coming up well i'm definitely asking you're going to be opening for me i'm definitely going to see the show for sure and it's been exciting like seeing what i've been doing for myself like i've never headlined a solo tour ever sis and i never got to do it for ungodly hour because we were in the midst of a pandemic so i really didn't know what to expect going into it like when i announced it even before the album dropped i was a little nervous like would people want to come things like that every night i'm like

telling my godmom and my team i'm like what do you see out there like people out there like for some reason it doesn't click that people are there to see me correct and it's sold out and i think when you're constantly used to people telling you otherwise a part of you as much as you don't want to begins to believe it but then when I step out on that stage and I see it and I hear it it's not like people are just watching me being quiet like they're singing the words back to me they're giving me that energy and that love you can't fake that you can't buy that and and make numbers. You can't do that with that. That's real.

So as long as I'm connecting with the ones who love me and I'm doing what makes me happy, that's really all the f*** that matters. And it's also okay to have your people say, don't ask me no f***ing Beyonce questions. I love Beyonce, but I'm my own entity. That's right. Because I'm sure Kelly, Michelle, everybody's gone through that, that has stood next to that great person we call Beyonce. It's okay. you know what?

Tell them don't ask me no Beyonce questions. Yeah, I mean, she is Beyonce. Everybody wants to know about her. So, I'm just like, cool. Like, I don't really look much into it. Are you going to be opening up for her, though? Oh, my God, shut up. Say exactly what he said.

Don't ask no f***ing questions about Beyonce. Got one good time. He's my family. Let's practice. Let's practice. Let's practice. So, are you going to be opening up for Beyonce? I plead the fifth. No, say don't ask no f***ing questions about Beyonce. Let's practice. Are you going to be opening up for Beyonce? I plead the fifth.

No, say don't ask me. Okay, okay. No, no, no, no, no. I'm nice. And you're my family. Now I do cuss. Are you going to be opening up for Beyonce? I don't know.

Now you're really going to cancel? We was definitely going to take that clip though. Don't ask me no questions about Beyonce. That was going to go everywhere. No, that would be great. now with all the critique you get from being by the way she said she didn't know she didn't say no she just said she she said she's not sorry we heard you know just put all the critique you get from being a music artist does it make you just want to stay in acting because of because of the freedom that you getting acting that's a really great question in this past week that crossed my mind a few times and i got over it like two three days ago really yeah and i was like when people make you doubt and especially as creatives we already doubt everything we do so you begin to think like oh

well maybe this isn't for me but then i would be going against the exact reason why God put me here. So why like pray it away, never lessen yourself to please somebody else. And that's an everything, not even just me, not people in the business, not S with everything. And I think why I love make it look easy so much. I was in New York a couple months ago and this was when I was like listening to the mixes and like i'm so technical i will obsess over the two empty seconds at the end when

it comes to mastering anyways i was listening to it and i saw a single mom with her child i saw a man who kind of looked really sad with his briefcase and i saw a homeless man all while like make it look easy make it look easy make it look easy was playing and in that moment i said okay i'm doing what I've been praying for that I heal through my music because it's bigger than me like when I leave this world I want my music to make a difference when people come to me and tell me because I'm open about my mental health journey and you know how I was struggling with even staying here they say that that saved them because they felt less alone so that on its

own holds so much more weight than anything you could ever put in comparison to that when you get stuff like that numbers don't matter awards don't matter i'm not doing it for that i'm doing it because it makes me happy it's literally like my favorite thing in the world well i got i got to ask you about um i heartland for me i did like a five song concert okay and it was amazing i got to do it in front of an audience like 150 people i think of like my closest fans and this was before the album even came out so it was the best it was me with a band and it was great so i actually really love it it turned out really nice to be honest it is this friday at 7 p.m. They haven't told me where it airs.

Charlamagne, do you know where it is? iHeartRadio.com slash iHeartland. I just want to tell my cousin that she knows I love her. And I want to tell you, it's better to... This is something my therapist told me, actually. It's better to be slandered than ignored, right? And all the noise is the price you pay for all the good you do in the world. Yeah. Amen. I the world. Yeah.

Amen. I love that. Word. You didn't download the album, though. Man, shut up, man. Let me just tell you what I'm saying. You an internet troll. Listen, let me ask. Did you download the album?

Can you imagine an ex-president of the United States of America discussing conga language? That would have been good. All right, now we got to get into something that I don't necessarily like. You're my fan? You're my fan.

Pull your fan out, man. Pull your fan out. I've got to hear the story for us before I... Pull your fan out. It might not be fan-worthy. It's fan-worthy. Now, Lil Uzi Vert, you know he changed his name. right now he's going as the name leslie chow what yeah that's his new name he's going by the name leslie chow first of all dropping the clues box for little uzi i'll

pop my fan for little uzi because little uzi is a sassy savage like myself all right now a girl on uh instagram left a comment and said jt you, you're really taking City Girls down. Talking about dating Leslie Child, which is Lil Uzi Vert. Right? She left a comment and says, JT, like, City Girls are down right now. Basically saying that, you know, she's dating Lil Uzi Vert, who changed his name to Leslie Child. I don't have enough sassiness in your throat. I was coming. I need more sassiness in your throat.

Well, the girl, JT, she clapped back, right? Ooh, okay. I'm going to tell you how she clapped back. I guess JT went to the girl's page and said baby I looked at your baby and your baby looks like finesse two times okay girl please leave me alone I'm not bothering no one okay well finesse two times responded just don't know I throw you in the air and break you before you hit the ground I guess she's mad because I said I can't do nothing with no skinny hoes all right okay well finesse two times uh uh girlfriend says jt

who man you calling ugly have you seen yours who man you calling ugly okay okay okay okay that was just a little bit but there's more okay so that that was that that story that story that story what was the story that was it they were just calling each other ugly and this than the other it's interesting all right now coyler ray little uzi said his name is little child yeah for that two times just call it straight okay ready what's this now now coyler ray is mad at lotto you know why because she feels like Lotto is body shaming her. What did Lotto do to little Koi LeRae? Lotto did a song, and this is how the song went.

He said, with 50 Cent, I got guns the size of little Bow Wow. Those are big-ass guns. I don't think Bow Wow like me. If you got a blunt as big as Koi LeRae, that's a big-ass blunt. Well, Koi LeRae didn't like it. She says, if you don't like me, support me, or F with me, don't mention my name. Period. Ish. Don't make sense. I don't know me, support me, or F with me, don't mention my name. Period. Ish.

Don't make sense. I don't know none of you hoes in real life. Stay in y'all lane and leave me. Why does hoes make everything funnier? Stay in y'all lane and leave me out of the bull crap. I be minding my business and showing real love online. Oh, man. Yeah, so it looks like they're going back and forth.

Hoes make everything funnier, regardless of what gender you talking about. been they're going back and forth hoes make everything funnier regardless of what gender you talking about i don't love none of you hoes okay oh you hoes out here using beijing to die your bitch there you go you stand up for that one huh i don't think that was a diss though i mean i can't tell how to feel but it does remind me of the 50 cent line when you said i got guns the size of low bow wow and you. And he said, I got blunts the size of a Coil of Ray. That's a big-ass blunt. Just like that would be a big-ass gun. I don't think it was a diss either.

But she's entitled to feel how she feel. But guess what? You feel the way Ryder Raff about it. That's true. Diss her back. And lastly, we got to congratulate Martin Lawrence. Martin Lawrence yesterday received his Hollywood Walk of Fame. Yes, we did this story before.

His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, I should say. It happened yesterday. Yeah, we reported that he was getting one, and I feel the same way. It's just like, what took so long for Martin Lawrence to get a damn star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame? That is Martin Lawrence. You know what type of a legend Martin Lawrence is, man? From the TV show to the stand-up specials to the movies,

like Martin Lawrence, absolutely positively revolutionized comedy. That's right. There's so many comedians out here who Martin Lawrence is the lawrence is the blueprint for yeah yesterday steve harvey was there tracy morgan i've seen uh michael blacks in there and a host of others at the event he spoke about uh that it was an honor he said i'm very honored and very thankful to god for making this possible uh he also shared that he is uh praying and wants to send a love to jamie foxx as well so congratulations to martin lawrence i saw every comedian in a mama at martin lawrence's uh ceremony yesterday so that shows you what what type of level martin lawrence is on yeah we we forget i think how many things

I need Rocky Mount, North Carolina police to come to the front of the congregation because they got this one all wrong. All right. Salute to all the public school

teachers out there. I'm riding with you. All right. And then when we come back, Jim Jones will be joining us. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club on BET. The Breakfast Club.

Find out more at DraftKings.com slash The Game. Available now on all major streaming platforms. That was Donkey of the Day. Made it.

Damn, the hee-haw again. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. Called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlemagne. Who got the donkey of the day today well just hilarious donkey of the day for friday april 21st goes to the police in rocky mountain north carolina because y'all got something all the way

wrong okay first of all salute to all the public school teachers out there drop on the clues bombs for all the public school teachers out there you might ride with all the public school teachers my mother was a public school teacher for well over 30 years in south carolina charleston county berkeley county public school teachers just like our military veterans are national treasures and we don't treat them with the respect they deserve okay think about the fact that we entrust our babies our hearts outside our bodies with them every day we should be making sure that teachers are well taken care of. So mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally, they are good. Oh, and how can I forget? Financially.

Okay. Teachers are overworked and underpaid. All right. My mother told me the most she made as a teacher was $30,000 a year once. Okay. And guess what? That money should be tax free if you ask me. All right.

Teachers should be tax exempt. That's the least we could do for the folks who help shape our child's minds and prepare them for the future. But now that we have established how I feel about public school teachers, you will understand why I feel the Rocky Mount police are getting the biggest hee haw. Because Rocky Mount police have charged both a student and a teacher for a fight at Rocky Mount High School. And of course, it ended up on social media. let's go to uh i forgot who it is before the report please rocky mount police say they're investigating now a fight involving a student and a substitute teacher at rocky mount high school a profanity laced video has surfaced and shared online multiple times it shows the pair arguing over a cell phone and then everything turning physical. Take a look. Why is the room not packed with everybody else? That's my phone. No, you did not keep

nobody else's phone. And you feel like, give me my phone. Don't touch me. That's not my phone. Situation continues to escalate, obviously, to this moment. Both the student and the substitute teacher swinging at each other. Within seconds, the student is on the ground, restrained by the sub, disturbing all the way around. It is important to point out we do not know what happened before the recording started or how that incident ultimately ended. Police identified the substitute teacher as Xavier Estille. Nash County Public School System is telling us that she has worked with them since 2021. The student was only

identified as a juvenile that news report was courtesy of wral by the way now let me tell you something i don't know what y'all saw uh but i saw a substitute teacher of xavier xavier steel i think you pronounce her name i saw her you know i'm saying with no drawers on doing her job all right it's not your business why she didn't have drawers on because you don't know what the weather is in rocky mount and she may have been letting it breathe for a number of reasons that all equate to us minding our business. OK, but she wouldn't have had to be in that position if that young lady she had to defend herself against knew how to act. All right. She took her phone for whatever reason. And that student wanted her phone back. Now, should she have explained why she took her phone and not the other students? Maybe.

OK, but one thing's for sure. And two things for certain certain that young lady had no business putting her hands on that teacher okay substitute her otherwise all right respect your elders and the reason that little girl so quick to put hands on that teacher is because she probably putting hands on some adult in her life and said adult has never hit her back because she family okay all right but what you don't want your kids to find out the hard way is that outside is not like in the house all right you're not my child you're not my niece my sister my cousin you go out here putting hands on strangers the way you're putting hands on people in this house you're just gonna be an op all right period and the first law of nature is self-preservation so stop expecting people like xaveria still not to be human okay this poor woman lost her edges fooling around

with this little girl not because of stress because the little girl pulled him out listen that young lady attacked me and she went for blood she took out an inch of my hairline all the way to two inches back here she was in my space she was behind the desk i followed protocol now how hard it is to get two inches of your hairline back don't make me take off my hat and show you okay out here losing edges because y'all don't know how to raise y'all damn churn okay zavaria uh i'm no i'm pronouncing your name wrong but you did not deserve that okay and i can hear some of y'all now charlamagne what if that was one of your kids look man uh i cannot say this with 100 confidence because hey you never know but i can say it with about 98.9 confidence this would never be one of mine okay

why simply because i've taught them better all right because i let them know constantly that there are consequences to your actions and i'm old school with it all right born in the 1900s 1978 to be exact i tell them like adults in my life told me. Don't start none, won't be none. All right? The best way to keep your peace is to not disturb the peace of others. And that woman definitely had her peace disturbed. Now, I have to salute the Christie Show. The Christie Show blesses us ever so often with some words from Miss Charlene.

And Miss Charlene gave a word yesterday that brought a tear to my eye. Can we listen? Y'all children getting slammed on their head by these teachers is y'all fault. These big, burly children thinking they can talk to people any kind of way, do whatever they want to do. They out of order. Because you failed to discipline your child. They think they can try to intimidate an adult? Try to threaten an adult? That substitute

teacher didn't even have no underwear on. That's how much she didn't care. That's how much she almost didn't make it. She didn't put no underwear on. She didn't care. So you think she gonna have a little restraint when your daughter who thinks she grown come bucking? Come on now. Come knocking and working? Ready to fight?

She treated her like some bad out the street. Cause why fight. She treated her like somebody off the street, because why? She was acting like somebody off the street. Lord have mercy. When you act wrong, wrong things happen to you. When you act like a dog, folks treat you like an adult. That's why people always say you got to stay in a child's place. Why? Because it's safe there.

That's right. There's some grace there. There's some protection there. There's some grace there. There's some protection there. There's some provision there. There's some compassion there. There's some nurturing there. The moral of the story is stay

in a child's place because it's safe there. And most importantly, thank a teacher today. Okay? Thank a teacher today. I have no more to say please let remy ma give the police in rocky mountain north carolina the biggest hee-haw you stupid mother are you dumb i ain't hear nothing but a word this morning that's all i heard why she ain't had no underwear on though it's none of your business

then did she stay in a child's place now you need to stay in a child's place mind your business now you know how sometimes we a child's place. Now you need to stay in a child's place. Mind your business now. You know how sometimes we cash out people much? I ain't got, what? No. You don't know why that woman ain't had no drawers on.

You don't know what's going on with her. Stop it now. You being two, you being two, you being two now. You being two what? You just being two.

You being two what? You need to stop now. Stop. You don't know why. Leave that woman alone. Okay? What her situation is. Women don't wear underwear

for a number of reasons. Okay? I don't know. Let it breathe. Okay breathe okay all right mind your damn business chafing oh you leave it all kind of stuff could be happening leave people alone you know i'm not even gonna have this conversation that ain't our business there ain't no women here to talk about why ain't no woman why women don't wear underwear so we're not gonna have that conversation all right well thank you for that donkey point no thank you for that donkey today i You're missing the point. All right. Thank you for that donkey today, I said. Yes, ma'am. You have underwear on, though?

Yes, I'm a lady. Okay. Just making sure. All right. When we come back, Jim Jones will be joining us. We're going to kick it with Jim Jones. Capo! And shout out to BET.

You guys have a great weekend. Everybody else, Jim Jones will be coming back at the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club on BET. And we got a special guest with us this morning.

Big legend, Kapo. Kapo is here. Jim Jones. So bettrayed, man. What's up, Jim? We're still getting up hella early. Vamp life, you just going to sleep? Definitely. Definitely just definitely got an hour of sleep before I got here, but it's good.

How you feeling, man? I'm feeling pretty good. I mean, for what it's worth, man. Somebody told us today, for whatever reason, I thought it was long, but they said you've been in the game 20 years. More than that. That's what I feel like. I feel like it's more than 20, right?

Cam got signed in 97. Yeah. You know that we was outside since we've been outside for a long time but yeah we signed started in 97 so what's that uh 26 years 26 years still making quality music i feel like nostalgia is back it is like you know i mean which because it was a classic timeless era so i feel like it never left but I feel like it's a whole new generation on that way especially with Dipset. Music always goes, it's usually just 360 like everything else in life what goes comes back around and things like that and with New York music is different from anybody else's music you know I mean so we got like our own sound sonically and things like that and just to hear like the people starting to rap

again and they going on aggressive beats and things like that, it makes me feel good. We've been out the loop musically for a long time and right now it feels good to see the resurgence that we have when it comes to us getting inside the musical race. Shout out to all the artists that's popping out here right now and putting on for New York City. I tip my hat to you. I know it ain't easy. It feels like can perform in harlem now without bringing uh somebody the whole dip set out we actually was in the building the other night when cam was performing oh you did okay okay me and you was in the crowd watching the show we came out to uh support mysteriously cam came out did you know cam was coming out or was it a surprise to you too

super surprised everything with cam to me is a surprise i don't got no you know Cam was coming out or was it a surprise to you too? Super surprised. Everything with Cam to me is a surprise. I don't got no, you know what I mean? It ain't like I used to. It ain't like I know what his moves is and things like that. Wish the best to him in all his endeavors and things like that. I see he's doing a sports show right now. Y'all got the craziest relationship because I swear, sometimes I feel like the dip sets on tour, everything is good and then it's like, no, I had no idea he was coming out.

Because even with the Drake, it all came out together for the Drake show and how was that when Drake reached out and called and said he wanted y'all guys to be a part of it? That was dope.

Shouts to Drake, shouts to Chubbs. I got a great relationship with him. I got to speak to him early about that and I think I put it out there,

yeah, you're coming to Harlem, bro. He's like, oh, we got to go up. Shouts to them boys. That was a hell of a moment

for us, for Diplomats, for Harlem. All the work we put in for all the years, vice a moment for us, for Diplomats, for Harlem. All the work we put in for all the years, vice versa, you know what I mean? Pretty dope.

Pretty dope. Even with that drink, it's a branch off the family tree though because I think people forget how Wayne was running around with Dipset back in the day.

He's young money and Wayne is out buzzing. You heard? Shout out to Wayne, man. Shout out to the whole Cash Money. Watching Wayne over there inside the Apollo.

Forget how many hits that boy got. Yeah. Did like two hours worth of straight just hits with a band in back of him. Pretty dope, man. Shout out to Weezy. I saw you get back in your director bag with Drum. That was dope. Shout out to Drum, man.

That was dope. Called me one day like, are you still directing? I'm like, yeah, but I used to direct all my videos or videos for my and things like that he like i got something i want you to direct it's not necessary to video and then he told me i was like oh man that's crazy like i want to shoot some scenes from juice over and i got all the artists i got all the actors from the original movie that's dope i was like you got tupac too he like now i ain't gonna get pop couldn't get pop but i got everybody else so you know but directing directing queen latifah uh definitely was the highlight of the Couldn't get Pac. But I got everybody else. Directing Queen Latifah definitely was the highlight of the whole thing for me.

You get to direct a queen. That's big right there. Not just taking that away from Omar Epps. You know what I mean? But I'm just saying, Queen Latifah is Queen Latifah. Absolutely. Now, I heard you talking about doing a dip set TV show or movie. No.

I'm going to start to create a show called 5H, which is my life in 5H before we actually got to fame and went on to be in Dipset. So that whole time inside of 5H when Cam and Mason, everybody was living inside my grandmother's apartment and things like that. It was very instrumental to our success. And so much wild things were going on. Inside of that 5-H apartment,

I think people will be very enthused to see some of these scenes about our history coming up. Loosely based on... Loosely based. Loosely based, you know, on getting nobody in trouble.

That's all I'm going to say. Are the statute of limitations up? Can you... I would hope so. That was a long time ago in the projects of 5-H. But yeah yeah I mean We got so much history

And with all of these shows With the Wu-Tang show And all these shows The MF Yeah Picked in the hip hop culture And things that went on in the past All the stuff that we've been into

Especially for New York City I think it's only right Will we get a A dip set documentary? I would love to see You know You guys meeting And how y'all got on

And the relationship with Mase And how y'all signed And through the relationship with Mace and how y'all signed and through the trials and tribulations and all of that is like 5H. That's all a high school and just graduating

out of high school era and things like that and Cam and Mace go in the same high school. Me and Cam living in the first half on the same side and they being

from the west side like all that was around high school or the 5H days and then when Cam and Mace went to college they both got kicked out. And when they got kicked out from school, they ended up coming to live with me at my

grandmother's house. Both of them? Where I recently passed away. Yeah, both of them. Oh, wow. So Cam, Mace, Jwells, a few other famous artists that made it pretty successful in this game all came out at my grandmother's house. She provided the shelter for us so we wouldn't have to be in the streets at night.

That's crazy. So that's what the whole 5-H story is about exactly what you're talking about the very uh humble beginnings of who we were before we became diplomats and jim jones and killer cam and then what's so what's your relationship with mace now it's weird to see that at one time you would be with all these guys when they were in your grandma's house y'all grew up with each other like y'all lived with each other yeah 100 we definitely live with each other weall grew up with each other. Y'all lived with each other. Yeah, 100%. We definitely lived with each other. We definitely grew up with each other. We know each other.

As we got older, we all kind of separated in our own ways and things like that. But we started together wholeheartedly. Don't care for Mace too much. You ever tell Mace, go say some prayers. Word up. You heard? My deck, Mace. Let me stop.

The show is entertaining. That is what it is. It's entertaining, though. What? It is what it is, It's entertaining, though. What? It is what it is, yo. I like seeing you do the weather match, them do that. Yeah, it is. For the show, the size of your personality.

It is. They definitely very funny. Always been a group of comedians. I can't take that away from them. And they very knowledgeable about basketball. They both grew up playing basketball. Mace was cool. Cam was definitely, had a chance to go to the NBA.

I can't say that without with no hate, nothing in my heart. Boy was dumb nice, since he was younger, doing playing, starting the record at age 15, they calling him Cam the All-American, and then Mace went to the championship in Madison Square Garden and things like that for Manhattan Center and stuff like that, so they was some ballers, so. I see them on the television show, what is it, What It Is? It is What It Is. Pretty dope, I hope they get a check for that you know and you know you got the uh back in my

prime album with hitmaker i love that title do you do you feel that way do you feel like you're back in your prime for like the third time but yeah it feels good i mean i've been through so much to still be able to make music at this capacity and still be in the game um still getting records played on the radio, still making top 40 hits and things like that. I've seen a lot of people come and go, especially being in the game

so long or get to a standstill. I'm blessed to be able to keep going and keep being able to make this good music. Shout out to all my artists, BGVL, all the youngsters

that be around me to keep me in tune with what's going on. It's a medium you got to have. You know what I mean? We got to guide each other. So that's where I'm at. Where was Kapo's first prime?

What would you consider, as a solo, just solo, what would you consider your first prime? Because you said for like the third time. My first prime was when I was in the streets. That was musically. That was musically. That was musically. My second prime was when I was able to do the music.

My third prime is where I'm at right now. Was it balling? Or certified gangster? Balling, I would say. Certified gangster, too. Well, certified gangster was my introduction. I was kind of hot off the intro, stuff like that. But I think that moving into balling and hustlers' poems

was kind of like me moving into my first prime when I was at the top of the game at that time and things like that. And then if they build you up to knock you down, if you're not strong enough to persevere, you won't be here next year. You know, I'm still here. So God bless. All right. We got more with Jim Jones when we come back. Don't move.

So my dog you did you not in my top 50 you might be in Charlemagne's top 50 and things like that. Pusha's top 50. You haven't done that much for me in my life. I didn't never want to be like Pusha. I never had a Pusha moment in my life. I never thought.

You dig? Where I'm from, I didn't want to be like you if you was really that dude and that rapper and things like that. Wayne wanted to be like Pusha? He was influenced by Pusha? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, cool.

That's why Pusha did the Mr. Me Too record. Okay, cool. You a very strong Pusha T fan. Yeah. Okay, cool. That's why Pusha did the Mr. Me Too record. Okay, cool. You a very strong Pusha T fan. You heard? And I don't care because people be like, look at Jim talking. Dude, you is nowhere near top 50. You top 950. You crazy.

Like, you think? I don't really care. I would say that Pusha had a, you know, I went to school in Virginia where Pusha was from and I know Pusha a long time. All right, could you, could you, if five Jim Jones records play right now on this radio, could you sing along to them? Yeah. Five Jim Jones records play right now. Yeah. Five Jim Jones records. You can't tell me five Pusha

T records, but you can tell me five Jim Jones records. You can't tell me five Pusha T records, but you can say five. So what we talking about? You want me to get into the real semantics of this shit? Like, what we talking about? I think Pusha top 50, man. All right, cool, but you can't, you can't, put on, let's start's start playing some pushing t records he's nice i'm not saying wait he's not not we're not listening being nice and being in the category is two different things

see that's what i rank the top rappers on i rank them on actual rap like who can really spit you know so i got i gotta put fish in the top 50 for rap. Just rap? We just talking bars. So what is we gauging the top 50 on? Just rap? So anybody can slide in there? I don't be knowing with these lists. Bro, if you talking about somebody supposed to be the top 50 greatest of all time, what are we gauging it on?

That's true. That's what I want. It gotta be everything. It can't just because he can rap nice. Man, we could go a bunch of battle rappers that can rap nice right now and go crazy. They nice as hell. You heard? But what else has he bring to the game?

Did he make people want to dress like him? Did he have some slang that everybody was talking like him? There'll be the girls, all the girls want to do him. Like, what is the... He definitely created slang. Which one? Sorry, I'm trying to come home. Like, in this era with all of these rappers who... What slang did he create? Snitch. Sorry, I'm trying to come home like in this era with all of these

rappers who what's like they create snitch sorry that's the acronym i don't even know nobody to even know the acronym like we can't forget the clips like the clips was not the clips was the clips was different amazing group that's different hard that's different. That's different. The clips are dope. They had the record grinding. They had what happened to that boy. Right? You dig? Like, so I'm not, it's not like I don't know the music. We're not going to sit here and say that, but the clips and Pusha T, two different things.

I would think you would like Pusha T. I didn't say I don't like him. He make great albums. I never listened to one whole Pusha T album. He don't listen to a Pusha T. No, he make Pusha T, man. He does. He spin.

I've never listened to a whole Pusha T album. He just had an album that wona T album. Nah, he make Pusha T, man. He does, he spin. I've never listened to a whole Pusha T album. He just had an album that won a Grammy. Do y'all know any of the records on that album that won a Grammy? He was nominated for a Grammy, yeah. His last two albums

was nominated for a Grammy. Okay, cool. Do y'all know any records on these Grammy nominator? Yes. What, Diet Coke? The last album is Almost Dry, Grampeton Road,

My Neck, My Wrist. When did you listen to this shit out of your bass because I never hear it nowhere. You heard? Like, I never hear it nowhere. Like like i never hit it nowhere like no disrespect like where like you did and i like like and let's get like people don't crucify me because let's not make this about me and him because it's not about him you're like it's not about me and him i'm just talking like it's this why i don't want to do no more interviews i don't want to do no more interviews. I don't want to do no more interviews, man.

What does the coffin mean, Jim? Man. You still have the logo for your label, right? The coffin? Yeah, it's a logo for my label. All right, all right. Shout out to everybody out here that's a rapper, man. I mean, I don't even try to.

I'm not trying to diss nobody. I'm a bit of a comedian at times. So, man, support me for that. It is what it is, man. But just don't call my phone. This ain't the type of phone you want to call for any type of smoke. You heard? That shit is a smoke detector.

You better leave that phone alone. You heard? You better continue to give me high fives when you see me. You heard? That's all I'm about is good energy. Let's continue to throw this love out there. You heard? Champagne toasts and all that.

We all live a pretty good life, man. You heard? One time Jim called me. Jim called me. I said something he didn't like. Jim was like, what was that? I'm like, my bad. I can tell by the taste.

What was that? Do not listen to him. Do not listen to him. I'm not the type of person. I'm a very loving person, man. How long ago was that? That was years ago. Now, Jim has done some wild stuff. I seen Jim say, the first comedian to walk out the building.

I said, damn. I said, I'm not walking out the building. They might think I'm a comedian. Damn, man. I was terrible, man. Jim said, what was that? You don't play with me like that. Because if you play with me like that, then everybody else is going to think they're going

to play with me like that. Then I'm not going to play with none of y'all. Yeah, like, Dennis, we got a problem. Like, yo, like, no, let me stop, man. Just God damn. I grew up hard, man. no, let me stop, man. Just God damn. I grew up hard, man. You got to pardon me, man. I don't know, man.

But right now I'm in a place of love in my heart. And it kind of gets twisted when people ask me these difficult questions and I don't know how to answer them without. Honestly. You know what I mean? Can we leave it at this? This is my opinion. It is your opinion. I don't want no pushy T-Sm t smoke i don't want to end up in none of his raps

i say he's nice right dumb the boy know how to talk about some cocaine you're talking about pablo numbers you're like that boy talking about cocaine you understand it god damn it i ain't even saying that he ain't nice well the album is out right now back in my prime make sure you pick it up what you want to hear off the album let's play now shouts to young bird one of the most incredible producers out there i was i was very blessed to be able to do this album um very dope album shout out to chrissy This album is pretty much written about her in so many different ways. I would say let's go with Gunshot.

Gunshot featuring Beam. But thank you, I just want to tip my hat to y'all. Y'all keep doing things for us to look at and be inspired

by y'all. BET move, y'all are a new building, y'all got drones that y'all sitting on. You know what I mean? What could be better than this?

But I seen y'all grind the same way y'all see me grind and things like that from the beginning. I know things wasn't as good as it is now coming up and things like that. But y'all continue to break down barriers inside of this journalism game. And when it comes to being on the radio and things like that and taking number one morning shows. Oh, man. Thank you, brother. You know what I mean? Tap yourself on the back sometime.

Oh man, I appreciate y'all, man. It's Jim Jones. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning on BET. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's a Friday, so you know what that means. We do a segment called

Pass the Ox. Instead of doing the rumors, our girl Nyla Simone comes up here, who I busted her ass last week in a verse. That is a damn lie. That was nuts. That is a damn lie. The caller said you won 7-3. She won. She won last week.

Yes, she did. But I will say, Envy, you was definitely in your bag. You had me. First of all, don't feel any pressure. This man was born in the 1900s, okay? He actually did mixtapes when they were on tapes, okay? So you shouldn't feel bad about that, okay? No, she did her thing.

You know, we love Nala up here. And this is where we do Pass the Aux. And Pass the Aux is a segment where Nala has a playlist, and we pretty much go with what's on her playlist, right? Some of it is new music, some of it's her playlist right some of it some of it is new music some of its old music some of his music that we need to know so she puts us on and that's why we have nala here today yes so today i'm gonna start with a jay dilla record off of his album donut now i was familiar with jay dilla as a producer but i really wasn't familiar with

all the records that he produced and he produced a lot of my favorites D'Angelo Erykah Badu etc so there's a new documentary on him on Hulu and FX that kind of just told the story of J Dilla and his legacy so after that it sent me on a rabbit hole and the record Time that's on his album uh Drake had Freestyle 2 on one of his early projects maybe comeback season but it was just cool to hear it so first up on Pastor Ox is J Dilla with Time. Rest in peace, J Dilla. Yeah, for people that are asking, I think he passed away from cardiac arrest at the age of 32. I thought he had like, I don't know. So young.

I thought he had a disease or something. Yeah, I thought they said he had a blood disease, but I thought they said he passed away from cardiac arrest. I thought it was a rare blood disease or something. I could be wrong, but I thought it was cardiac arrest. But he got that soul in his production, which is fire. Absolutely. Not everybody can do that. So next up, we're going to keep it wrapped, and let's get into HG Bendo.

He's signed to Roc Nation, and he just dropped his new joint called Locked In. Okay. Where's he from? Brooklyn. Oh, he's from Brooklyn. Okay. Yeah. HG's going crazy crazy out here so shout out to him i like that record and then lastly i love their project actually it's a group called they and they just dropped a new project oh what do they and i'm serious what do they identify as does that have anything to do with it or it's just i i don't i don't know i've never met two men but the men that identify as me or just the group i'm just asking because that's a that's a very you

know i think the group identifies as well i think individually they both identify as him he okay i'll find out next week i want to know if that's anything to do with it but they've been running with they before pronouns became like is big thing. Is that an acronym? Is they an acronym for something? Or does that just mean it's more than one? I think probably because it's more than one. But it's only two. Okay.

So it could have been like. It could have been we. Could have been we. All right. Anyway, they just dropped the new project called New Moon. And they got some bops on there. Honestly, if you're a fan of like r&b 90s r&b modern r&b they kind of give you a little bit of both so tap in you really don't got to skip

anything on it really yes but the record that i'm gonna play today is called riptide okay i like that i like that i like that energy now one of them is from colorado one is from washington dc but i guess they formed a group in la yeah but the Yeah, but the DMV claims it.
