How y'all feeling out there? I feel blessed, black, and highly favored. Happy to be here. Another day to serve our beautiful listeners. You said it's a homecoming weekend? It's Del's day, homecoming weekend. I woke up so excited. Shot ready.

You should tell people, you know, what Dell is. I know Dell is short for something. Delaware. Why do you keep asking people to know Delaware is the first state and they don't know Delaware? But if you do not know Delaware State University, we celebrate our homecoming weekend this weekend. I am alumni. It's my 10 year. Shout out to class of 2014.

And they are HBCU, right? Yes, we are HBCU. I'm so happy to be an HBCU alum. What was your major? I majored in marketing, business administration, concentration in marketing. Oh, so where'd the whole journalism thing come from? I just had it. I did marketing because I was like, I'm going to need to make some money while I figure out the talent part of it. So I worked corporate jobs for a while before I fully was

full-time talent. Makes all the sense in the world. What'd you do last night? Anything fun? No, I actually was supposed to make it to Toosie's listening party. Some of the team went. I fell asleep and woke up and I was like, you know what? I'm just going to stay here and sleep. This is the second time this week that you've said that and I'm happy for you. I am

happy that you are getting rest. I am happy that you are getting sleep. Are am happy that you are getting sleep. Are you getting seven to eight hours? Yes, and it's so, I feel great. I'm choosing peace

a little bit more. Except for this morning because it's homecoming weekend. I'm so excited. So it starts today? It does. Tonight, we are,

we're starting in Wilmington, Delaware at the Queen Theater. This is the official alumni homecoming kickoff party that I will be hosting. So we're going to have a great time. It's going to be a lot of shot of clocks, a lot

of, you know, Tamia's steps for the OGs in the building as well too. And then tomorrow we tailgate. It's our homecoming game. And then we are outside with Driz and the True Hustler Worldwide team after that. Bringing back the Bubba's vibes, which is a very Dover, Delaware thing to say.

Well, to salute to everybody listening to us all across the country, Google Delaware. Google Delaware is crazy. Y'all be really trying to do us. Fun fact about Delaware, that is where Google chose to register as a corporation. Did you know that? I didn't know that business specifically, but a lot of corporations are registered out of Delaware because of the tax thing.

So, yeah. Interesting. Well, we got a great show for y'all this morning. The Baby will be joining us. Yes, sir. He's got a new project out called Why Is That a Mixtape?

I don't know why he keeps calling this his comeback project, but we're going to discuss that with him plus some other things. Plus, Morgan Woods will be joining us in a second for front page news so don't go anywhere it's the world's most dangerous morning show the breakfast club yes it's the world's most dangerous morning show the breakfast club charlamagne the god dj envy lauren larosa uh jess hilarious is still on maternity leave salute to the good sister uh jess hilarious yes now let's get in the let's get in the front page news. Morgan Woods, how are you?

I'm doing great. I'm doing great. Y'all doing all right? It's Friday. Yes. Favorite day of the week. Yes. So you know who else is doing okay?

Well, at least it seems so. Those striking dock workers along the Gulf Coast and the East Coast. Well, they're headed back to work today. Sources say members of the International Longshoremen's Association and management groups have reached a tentative deal on wages. According to reports, the two sides are agreeing to extend the expired contract until January 15th. Now, 50,000 union members working from Maine to Texas walked off the job on Tuesday. The strike had led to uncertainty about moving supplies as the nation heads into the holiday season. Of course, you know, getting those resources to those impacted by Hurricane Helene as well.

Meanwhile, President Biden says there is progress being made in the recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene as they continue. Those efforts continue. He made the comments yesterday in Valdosta, Georgia, adding the direct assistance program for hurricane victims will cost you the U.S. billions of dollars. Let's hear more from Biden in regards to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Feminist teams are knocking, literally knocking on doors to register folks so they can receive assistance to buy what they urgently need. Congress has an obligation to me, it seems to me, to ensure the states have the resources they need. So Biden toured the devastation in Georgia, where at least 33 people have died. Now, this comes as Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is slamming the Biden administration's efforts

for not doing enough for the rural communities impacted by the storm that reportedly were not initially included in Biden's disaster declaration. Now, it's important to note that Hurricane Helene is now the deadliest storm to hit the mainland since Hurricane Katrina. Now, officials say 215 people have died due to the storm that slammed into the southeast a week ago. More than half of the deaths were in North Carolina, including at least 72 in Buncombe County, where flooding has devastated the area. The death toll will likely rise as hundreds remain missing. And meanwhile, hundreds are still without power across Georgia and the Carolinas. Absolutely. And you said you talked about the strike, Morgan, the strike is suspended, right?

Until January. Right. Yes. January 15. So they're basically going to extend the expired contract that they have until January 15th. So that gets them through the election season, I'll say that. And they got a 62% pay raise that the tentative agreement includes a 62% pay raise over the next six years. I think they were looking for 77%. So, I mean, their strike worked. A couple of days' strike worked.

I have a tenant in one of my mom's buildings who was out of work and he thought he was going to be out of work for a while. So it's good to hear because he was trying to figure out what he was going to do and how he was going to do that as kids too. Morning guys. Well peace. I'm a little upset. Not a little upset but yesterday we went to the

grocery store and stocked up on groceries. So I spent all that money in the damn grocery store yesterday thinking the strike was going to be lasting a little bit longer. You heard me play the audio. Kathy Hochul, Governor Hoch don't this is not the time to be doing all of that but you know what at least you know you've been good yeah white people tell me not to do something that's when i go do it and morgan uh i was talking to my dad last night about this and i don't know if you mentioned this but they were saying that the government has the right to

make people go to work when it comes to the railroads and the docks so my dad was like don't worry about you ain't got to worry about it because if it gets crazy they're gonna force them to go to work so even though that is a possibility but uh president biden has actually said that he was not going to do that he's already gonna do that he wasn't gonna um initiate those type of yeah well yeah executive orders yeah it hasn't yeah but you know we're moving on from it at least until now at least 2025 so that's a good thing. We got time for one more? Yes.

All right. So the Biden administration can move forward with a student loan forgiveness plan. A federal judge in Georgia allowed a temporary restraining order on the plan to expire. This comes just weeks before the November presidential election. And the judge ruled Georgia lacked standing to sue against the relief plan and could not be the venue for the case. The lawsuit against the loan plan was brought by several Republican led states, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, North Dakota and Ohio. So just like the longshoremen going back to work, there are a lot of people who are still reeling from student loan forgiveness and still trying to figure that part out. So, you know, we'll keep you posted on that. At least that

loan forgiveness plan can move forward. So that's your front page news for 6 a.m. 7 a.m. We'll get caught up with the presidential candidates, Trump and Harris. What are they doing? All right. Thank you, Morgan. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's the coach of shoes With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa I'm back And I got the match Talk to me

Man, Taylor be doing them intros, don't she? This is such a vibe So, Holly I always get her first name wrong Holly Bailey and DDG are done According to something that DDG put up yesterday He posted, Dear friends and supporters, after much reflection and heartfelt conversations,

Haley and I have decided to go our separate ways. The decision was not easy, but we believe it's our best path forward for the both of us. I cherish the time we've spent together and the love we've shared. They say despite the changes in their relationship, their love for each other is going to remain deep and true they're forever best friends they adore each other they're going to focus on our individual journeys but they are still going to focus on their roles as co-parents and they cherish the bond that they've built uh in different moments that they've shared they are planning on navigating this new transition and they just ask for people's understanding and support now now lauren la, was that a joint statement?

DG posted it. I haven't seen anything posted to her page. I'm going to double check again. But yesterday, when I checked this morning when I came in, I did not see anything posted to her page. My people seem so happy about it, though. Oh, happy, baby. I'm about to get into that day of growing up.

Hold on. Did she post anything? Nope, nothing posted to Sissy's page at all. Not her Instagram. I'll check her Twitter. So the people have been going up but i think it's because and i mean look i don't know ddg personally but people have felt like she shouldn't have been with him she shouldn't have had a baby with him and you know their baby is a blessing and halo is now here in the world so you know i know that that has to be annoying for them to see but yesterday the people were going off so one person tweeted

hayley holly holly is single from the z-list rapping n-word i can say that can i say n-word no you can say n-word okay the z-list rapping nigga um no you can say n-word oh n-word oh sorry y'all street i need that list of what i can and can't say every single day streets are saying uh hayley and ddg broke up yes god hayley bailey deserves more better anyway i'm glad our girl can move on from him now i hope they co-parent in peace even like it's been a whole thing that's been the conversation of people just being excited for the fact that they have broken up but they were just whack it because look they were just, I think it was like a week ago, at Usher's Past, Present, and Future Tour

in Las Vegas. That was September... Oh, so it's Usher's fault. The domestic terrorist strikes a damn game. Let me say, let me listen. Usher breaks up with another happy home? No, because, look, he was trying to... He does like the cherry thing,

that they do the cherry thing when they drop the cherry in the girl's mouth at the show now. Yep, yep, yep. DDG intercepted and grabbed the cherry himself and put it in her mouth so i thought they were good yeah but it's kind of crazy that it ended where it started because when we first started hearing rumors of them together it was back in um i don't remember what month it was but they were at it was january 2022 uh after the uh ushers las vegas residency so it's like it ended where it started that's kind of

crazy but you know what's so interesting about this well two things uh i'll just just just blanket statement i don't know why people feel the need to release information like this to the public like why invite people to have an opinion about your breakup why invite people to have an opinion about your life like folks choose to disturb their own peace and that's insane to me that's what i would say if i thought that this was true. But possibly this is just DDG trolling. He does stuff like this. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions.

But you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello?

And how would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life-altering medical procedure a secret from everyone? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child?

Those parents are in love. Dot, dot, dot. That's right. Life update. That's what I think. I mean, DDG probably trolling. Like, like, like, because number one,

why would a guy release something like this? Like, I don't think DDG would choose to disturb his own peace like this on purpose or the peace of Hallie like this on purpose but he's known to troll he's probably trolling this but why right why this could be could be a troll people put people be putting sis through it because she's she's locked in her family or he could be you know moving on and he if he's seen with somebody else he doesn't want to make it seem like he's cheating that's

what i thought i thought it was they're at the point where they're ready to move on and they don't want it to backfire against anybody when they do or that usher video just went out and everybody's clowning about the usher video everybody know usher the domestic terrorist who breaks up happy homes so he's just feeding into that he's just playing with the internet it's all entertainment y'all maybe listen holly holly bailey has not released anything i keep y' yo i don't know why i messed up her first name so much i'm so sorry sweetheart um she has not released anything on her twitter either since i think september 29th i think um we looked september 29th so this this statement comes from him it's even signed dvg but okay i don't know i hope they figure it out but you know

the baby's here they seem to co-parent where they were just out last week. So they have something figured out. Garth Brooks has been accused of rape. So according to a new lawsuit, Garth Brooks cornered a makeup artist in a hotel suite and raped her so violently that she felt like she was going to break her body in two. Now, in these documents, it gets pretty vulgar. This woman claims that Garth held her five foot frame by her ankles and dangled her upside down as he did the things that were not okay to do to her private areas um slamming his insides inside of hers and she felt like she was going to break into two now this

woman is a woman who used to do hair and makeup for his wife and then Garth later hired her to do the same for him and she claims that in 2019 he took her to LA this is when all that what I just described happened um in 2019 May 2019 he took her to LA for a Grammy tribute that he was doing for uh Sam Moore and when they boarded the private plane she noticed that it was only them two on the plane which she said was very unusual. And then they got to L.A. and there was only one hotel rented for the both of them. And he denied her request for her own room. She also alleges that he suddenly appeared in the doorway in this room.

He was naked. He dragged her onto a bed in a room. And that's when all the stuff that I just described happened. Now, I will say he is calling BS on this and saying that this did not happen. She's saying, however, that he took advantage. She needed the money and he knew that and he took advantage of the fact that

she needed the money and he knew that. And she's suing him civilly? Yes. Did they release the lawsuit yet or right now they're saying they're about to no no no no no the docs are there because all the reports are attributing this to the docs

so the docs are there how is country white twitter reacting to this news are they making memes are they digging up old lyrics and old videos is country white twitter conflicted about listening to his albums like no fences sevens roping the wind how i just how are they reacting i just i'm just asking i don't know um last night i think people were just kind of talking about how crazy it was because of his

wife uh but tricia tricia yearwood yes his wife tricia yearwood um but as of this mind you yesterday when we talked about it last night just amongst amongst us, it was trending. It's not trending on Twitter anymore. However, it is now trending across Google in the U.S. But it's not trending on Twitter anymore. But yeah, he's saying that this is an extortion. She's trying to shake him down. Wow. Yep.

I don't even know a Golf Books record. I ain't even going to front. Golf Books is one of the biggest superstars, period. He's definitely one of the biggest superstars in country music, but he's one of the biggest superstars in America and globally, period. Which is mind-blowing to me that you said this isn't trending on Twitter anymore. It's trending across, but bigger. It's trending across Google in the U.S., though.

Yeah, but where are the memes? Why are they not digging up old lyrics and old videos to see if there's any correlation? Maybe we just... Because country artists ride country... That genre rides for each other.

They're not going to disrespect their legend and their icon like that. Well, I need some folks from black Twitter to go make up some fake accounts and go infiltrate country white Twitter

and start stirring some things up. Baby, Garth Brooks said he's been going through this extortion and been hassled with threats and lies. It's like having a loaded gun waved in his face, okay? Nah, they too busy doing it for us.

They not gonna do it for that. But do you know Garth Brooks' record? I don't know Garth Brooks. Not that I can name off the top. Maybe if I hear it. I just named three Garth Brooks albums. No Fences, Sevens, Rope in the Wind. I mean, Garth Brooks is a big, big, big, big, big, big deal. I didn't say he wasn't. I just don't knowth Brooks albums. No Fences, Sevens, Rope in the Wind. I mean, Garth Brooks is a big,

big, big, big, big, big, big deal. I didn't say he wasn't. I just don't know

none of his music. I know him in the name, but I don't, off the top, I don't know the name of a song, but maybe if I heard it. But we'll, I mean,

we'll keep you guys updated what was happening over there. And I mean, I don't know if I'm logged into Country Music Twitter, but I'm going to try again and see, you know,

if the memes are as funny over here on this side. All right. All right. Well, that was Jess with The Mess with Laura LaRosa. Thank you, Lauren. You're welcome. Now, when we come back, we got front page news.

More are going to be joining us, and then the baby will be in the building, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Laura LaRosa filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news. Now, congratulations to the Mets. They beat the Brewers last night for the wild card spot. They beat them 4-2. And then Thursday night football, the Falcons beat the Buccaneers 36-30. All right, well, we're starting off with Morgan. Well, I really want to start off with what's going on with the presidential candidates.

But first, just give me my money. Bank of America is suffering from an outage. Customers first reported problems accessing their accounts just before 1 p.m. on Eastern yesterday on Down Detector. There have been reports about not being able to log into accounts or account balances, either not showing or displaying zero balances. A message saying accounts temporarily unavailable greets some customers who are able to log in either online or using the bank's app. Now, Bank of America has not said what is causing the issues, but of course, I will keep you posted. Hopefully that issue gets resolved before the weekend.

Meanwhile, former President Trump, he's focusing on battleground states. He spoke at a rally in Saginaw, Michigan, reminding voters that mail-in voting has begun in several states. Trump also criticized the Biden-Harris administration for open borders, claiming immigrants have overrun cities like Springfield, Ohio and Aurora, Colorado. Let's hear more from former President Trump at his rally in Michigan. We have to be too big to rig. You know that too big to turn out and vote in record numbers. Too big to rig. You see what's happened with Springfield and Aurora. You see what happened Springfield, Ohio. You see what's happening. Would you like to have that happen to you?

So the former president says he would revoke Haitian migrants' protected status and have them removed from Springfield, Ohio. He told News Nation, you have to remove the people and you have to bring them back to their own country. Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, have made claims about Haitians eating pets. Now, state and city leaders have called those comments false and dangerous. Now, it also is important to note that Haitians living in the U.S. or there are some Haitians living in the U.S. under temporary protected status, which keeps them from being deported back to their nation, which is in turmoil. Meanwhile, former Republican Congresswoman. Say that again. I said, you know, it's interesting.

It's amazing how much Donald Trump projects whatever he blames the other side for. It's their side that's actually doing. So when he says too big to rig, his party is the one that's trying to rig things. Like I spoke about this on The Daily Show last night. I literally spoke about, you know, how they're already planning to steal the election, you know, if they lose. So, yeah, he projects whatever he blames the other side for their side is the one that's doing but it's easy for him to project right when you look at just some of the conversations that Trump and Vance

has had right I looked at something yesterday and they had 62 interviews since August compared to Harris I think only had 22 and when you talk about our culture and the core of the people that they speak to well Harris has spoke to all the spoken which was a great interview but besides that when is

harris going to come out and start having these conversations especially with with her car with the people that follow her how come she hasn't done the breakfast club how come she hasn't done a lot of these other places where people do listen i mean we're syndicated in over what 100 markets and she hasn't come here yet she hasn't come and did any of those big platforms in our genre and it's effed up. Trump does his call. Trump did Aiden Ross. Trump did Dr. Phil. Trump did this one.

Trump did that one. Where is Kamala Harris? That is a fact, but that also sounds personal. No, no, no. Not just that one. No, no, but not just our platform. But that's a whole other conversation based on what I'm talking about, though. I'm just talking about the fact that he's accusing Democrats of potentially rigging the election, but they're the ones that are actually doing things right now

actively to rig the election. And I ain't going to hold you, Charmaine. You actually had amazing foresight in these things, when it comes to these type of things. So I wouldn't be surprised if exactly what you say ends up happening, because that's kind of how it's been in this election cycle. It's really been fascinating. I don't know.

But meanwhile, former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, she was on the campaign trail in Rippon, Wisconsin yesterday with Vice President Harris. Now, Cheney said Harris is standing on in the breach at a critical moment in our nation's history and working to unite reasonable people from all across the political spectrum. Now, Harris called Cheney a true patriot. Let's take a listen to Liz Cheney and VP Harris in Wisconsin. I tell you, I have never voted for a Democrat.

But this year, I am proudly casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. Liz Cheney really is a leader who puts country above party and above self, a true patriot, and it is my profound honor, my profound honor to have your support. With that being said, Madam VP, full out to the Brackets Club. It ain't got to be just the Brackets Club. It could be a million dollars worth of game. It could be drink champs. It could be any one of these platforms that we have. Cut it out i mean she did all the smoke it could be any one of the platforms in these podcasts that are big it could be anyone for our culture it could be steve harvey it could be anyone but i want to hear her talk to some of her own people yeah i do agree like they are all focusing on battleground states as they should be because everybody says the election is going to come down to the battleground state so i get it but to what envy

said the vp does have to speak to her base because I don't feel like she has her base completely locked up. And she also doesn't have a lot of undecideds completely locked up because a lot of folks still don't know her. So what I think happened is when she became the nominee and they put her at the top of the ticket, I think it energized the base. And a lot of people inside of the base uh were excited the party was excited but i don't know if that's translated uh outside of the party party just yet all right well switching gears in the case of tyree nichols all three memphis police officers accused of killing tyree nichols have been found guilty on charges of witness tampering but mixed verdicts on other charges now nichols family lawyer antonioamanucci, civil rights attorney, Benjamin Crump,

and Tyree Nichols' father, Rodney Wells, they spoke outside the courtroom following the verdict on Thursday. Here's what they had to say. The remaining defendants have all been found guilty of one charge or more. Obstruction, conspiracy, deprivation of rights, causing bodily injury.

This is justice for Tyree. It is very important to note that all of them were pointing the fingers at each other. So all of them said that the others has something to do with the death of Tyree Nichols. We are all elated. We're all very, very happy that these guys have been put in jail. This is a long time coming and justice for Tyree. So we're just so very proud that all of them are going to jail today. Today, officers Tadarius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith were charged with violating Nichols civil rights by using excessive force. Bean and Smith were acquitted, acquitted, excuse me, of civil rights charges while Haley was acquitted of violating Nichols' civil rights by using excessive force. Bean and Smith were acquitted of civil rights charges, while Haley was acquitted of violating Nichols' civil rights, causing death,

but found guilty of violating his civil rights, causing bodily injury. Bean, Haley, and Smith were on trial for the beating death of Nichols during a traffic stop in 2023. Former officers Desmond Mills and Emmett Martin, they accepted plea deals in exchange for their testimony. All five of the officers who were on the scene that night that Nichols died have been charged with second-degree murder in state court and have pled not guilty.

A trial date in state court has not yet been set. But, of course, you know, I'm going to watch out, and I'm going to keep you all updated. And the last and most important story, happy homecoming to my HBCU, Morgan State University Bears. We outside this weekend, Baltimore. What up?

That's the story? That was news? Yeah, salute to all the HBCUs. Salute to Morgan State. Why are you hating? You want your HBCU tour? Come on. It's HBCU love here.

Hampton.

Don't get too drunk on the yard now. I mean. All right. Now, when we come back, DaBaby will be joining us. His album or mixtape, How to F is This, a mixtape, is out right now. And we're going to kick it with DaBaby when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Jess is on maternity leave. So so Lauren LaRose is filling in. And we got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Ladies and gentlemen, the baby's back.

Welcome. It's a pleasure to be here, man. Pleasure to be here. How you feeling, my brother? I'm feeling great, you know what I mean? Wouldn't rather be nowhere else right now. I'm happy to have you here, man. For sure.

You got the new mixtape. How the f*** is this a mixtape? How the f*** is this a mixtape? I'm still trying to figure this s*** out. That's an album, man. It should have been an album. Why not an album? I'm still trying to figure this s*** out right now's an album, man. It should have been an album. Why not an album? I'm still trying to figure this s*** out right now.

Why not an album? You know, we wanted the warm to pop back up, you know, and really, more than anything, it's more of like a reintroduction, you know what I'm saying, to all the listeners, to the fans, to the supporters, to the newcomers, you know what I mean? It's just a reintroduction. I feel like, you know, I done been away from them so long, it's my first time putting my heart in a project in like four years, so no features, it ain't got nothing to do with no rollout, no none of that, you know what I done been away from him so long. It's my first time putting my heart in a project in like four years. So no features. It ain't got nothing to do with no rollout.

No, none of that. You know what I'm saying? I wanted to just give him my authentic self, be completely transparent. You know what I mean? And reintroduce the listeners to me as a person. You know what I mean? Beyond the artist. And, you know, move forward from there.

And then we come with the album right after, though. Don't get it. Yeah, don't get it. I see. You take the music as, like, I would say, how the essence used to be, right? Right. The reason I say that is you do the mixtapes. You do the freestyles.

Yeah. You pop up in the clubs. Yeah. Even when it's a paid appearance and not paid appearance. Absolutely. You still get a whole lot of money to perform, but you still go to the small venues. Absolutely. Why is all of that so important?

Because we don't see that with a lot of artists these days. The most important thing about all that shit is being able to connect directly with the fan base. You know what I'm saying? Everything else is clouded. You know, when you talk playlist and when you talk this and that, all that got politics and factors that come into play that, you know, control, you know, how visible your music is or what have you. You know, when it comes to freestyle, I can give you current energy. I can touch on current topics and everything.

I can give it, boom, straight to you. I don't got to wait. I don't got to wait. I don't got to upload it, wait for the DSPs to get time to service it and all that extra shit. Shout out to them when they do do it. You get what I'm saying? But sometimes, you know, when it comes to this art with music, you want to just get it straight to the consumer.

You know what I mean? You need to know how I'm feeling today. For the consumer, what's the difference between a mixtape and an album nowadays? They don't give a – they don't f***ing know. You know what I'm saying? It's just all about, you know, how you hype it up ahead of time. You know what I mean? And of course, an album is presumed to be something that's just a large thing in a moment that's coming.

But I'm more of a spontaneous person. You get what I'm saying? So I like to boom, just pop out with it. And then, yeah, let the music speak for itself and let it catch up with me. Kind of like how I popped out with this one. Like, you know, I'm seeing I'm like, what, a weekend come midnight. It'll be a week that it done been out. But, you know, I'm slowly but surely seeing people, you know what I mean?

Understand like the type of body of work that I just put out. And that's what it's all about to me. Like that, that mean more than, you know, it being on this playlist for a day or for a week. You know what I'm saying? Because somebody done broke bread or, you know or for a week. You know what I'm saying? Because somebody done broke bread or this or that. You know what I'm saying? So I like the organic. And I really want it.

I want an organic climb back to the top. That's what I want. Because then I understand it for exactly what it is. But you keep talking about being canceled. You keep talking about being at the bottom. I ain't talking about it no more. Maybe I wasn't paying attention. I ain't see it that way. Man, that's... i ain't see it that way man that's that i i don't see it that way i appreciate

that from you because i know you don't you don't yeah you saw it i saw it yeah what you see now what did you see i i mean i feel like i don't believe in cancel culture completely but i did feel like there was a time where you were like it was like quiet a bit and we weren't seeing you out as much because i forgot at one time you had the festival run it was all the baby like if it was a festival it had to be you mixtapes dropping music music music songs and then it just got really quiet after the whole situation and now i feel like i see you slowly like you're dropping your uh your freestyles online you're dropping the content i watch you do that a lot and now we're here with the tape and you're running back around so i think it's coming back around how bad did it get

because on the album you talk about of course you always talk about the money you were getting 500 a show and then it dropped so much

how bad did it get to the point where did you think about you know what I gotta give up I was finna get my jet I was finna get all type of shit

I already had it you know figured out yeah I done talked about this plenty of times but if you but after fall you talking about I'm talking about

the paper I'm talking about the hair yeah I ain't talking about the you know i mean me the music ain't never went nowhere like i you know i'm in the demonstrating on the regular you know i'm saying anytime like anytime i feel like you know when they get the love and the attention from the media when they see that and they get that confused with you know who i am as an artist and what i got off as an artist that's when i get in that mode like i'm doing this song and this one i'm gonna pick'm doing this song and this one. I'm going to pick the hottest songs out, and I'm going to burn them down. You get what I'm saying?

And then I just leave everybody in awe. You see it. You see it. This s*** do 20 million views on damn Instagram. I wouldn't even put s*** out on YouTube, none of that. Or I'll go do it on somebody's platform or whatever, and I would just leave it at that. But like I say, that all go back to me just holding myself accountable

because I could apply that same amount of pressure to my own individual work and that's why i come with this mixtape instead of a three pack or a single i'm like that i want to put a whole tape out and it went from i mean originally what we was gonna do bro we was gonna do what like five six songs i overnight you know i'm saying within like a week like man hell no i got 14 you know i'm saying and shots to my team because they ain't here they finally like yeah do you you know I mean they like do you so I'm like no I got 14 of them and all this is that I just recorded so it's current energy it's all the way there and that's the way I prefer to put the music out you know what I'm saying you was telling us how bad it got though you said yeah it got bad but it ain't nothing I'm dwelling it ain't nothing

I'm dwelling on you know what I don't as kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection,

it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

You're trying your best. And you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say Secrets. How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And how would you feel if your doctor advised you

to keep your life-altering medical procedure a secret from everyone? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child? These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets. Some of you have been with us since season one, and others are just tuning in.

I really want to speak on that because I'm ready for them to start giving me the five and the four. I feel like you've been past that, dude. I didn't even realize it was four years. That feels like longer than that. That long-ass time. You get what I'm saying? Long-ass time. I feel like you've been past that, dude. I didn't even realize it was four years. That feels like longer than that.

Long-ass time. You get what I'm saying? Long-ass time. I done had two kids. I done had two more kids. My baby's talking, running around. You know, they don't need, one of my babies don't even know I'm a rapper. My four-year-old, she saw me on TV, man.

But nah, it's all good, man. You know, more than anything, man, I'm grateful to be here. And then at the same time, I'm going through so much real s*** personally that I needed that. You know what I mean?

Because me, I'm one way. I missed the tunnel vision. When I got my mind set on something like it's it ain't too much at all it was nothing that was gonna stop me from you know what I'm saying from getting what my heart desired you know what I mean but if that ain't healthy for me for my mental for my for my spiritual if that ain't healthy for me you know I'm gonna run into a mother well you know it's a downward spiral and and you know once you once you come up off of it You know, that's a that's a beautiful space to be in You know, I mean and that's why I'm at right now

I feel like everything hit you at once like, you know, you that all that situation happened But then like you said real life issues like you read from your brother that happened first So what a lot of money understanding like they you know, I was really getting kicked while I was down You know what I mean? Like I need no one just because of like how, how, you know, how I carry it. Like, I'm not looking for sympathy. I wasn't looking for none of that. You know what I'm saying?

Like, so, yeah, I was hustling to goddamn divert my attention from the real, like, I was going through. You know what I mean? But every year of me being, especially the first two years, my most successful, you know what I'm saying, time period in the game. Like, I took the biggest losses of my life. You know what I'm saying? I lost my father in 2019 right after I dropped. You know know i'm saying uh time period in the game like i took the biggest losses of my life you know i'm saying i lost my father 2019 right after i dropped you know i'm saying my debut project right after you know i mean month after and then my brother 2020 while i'm the top streaming rapper in the world you know what i mean and then the next year boom the whole big the whole big cancer coach the very next year so it's boom boom boom you know what i mean

We still kicking it with DaBaby. His mixtape, How to F Is This a Mixtape, is out right now. Charlamagne? You know they say staying busy is a response to trauma, right? Absolutely. That's exactly what it was.

When you lost your pops and your brothers, you was super busy doing everything. Man, I flew out. When things got a little bit quiet and you had to sit still. Exactly. That's when I heard you. Man, look. Everything. And this is where it got quiet and I had to sit still. Exactly. That's when I heard. Man, look. Everything. And this is where it got quiet and I had to sit still.

It was really COVID. That was my second show back. COVID would seem like so long ago. That really was a long time ago. Yeah. Yeah. So that was really like my second show back. So I had stayed.

I was able to stay busy enough like when it came to my pops. And not only that, like, you know, it was a different situation than my brother. You get what i'm saying but i immediately like i dropped my my debut the second project my second album really baby on baby was a mixtape but i dropped my debut album kirk you know i mean that went number one that was an honor of my father that was my way of carrying the last name you know i did that you know i did that when it came to my pops we even had a conversation before he passed where he you you know what I'm saying? Like, you taught me something.

You get what I mean? Like, you, you know, you stuck to what you wanted to do. You did it your way. You taught me something. Now, what's next? So, we, you know, that situation was a little bit different, you know, and I was able to stay busy enough to, you know, navigate through that or whatever. But, you know, when you talk about losing somebody to suicide, like, that's a different

thing. You know what I mean? Who was in your corner? Four kids behind. Who was in your corner during that time? Because, you know you you're always in somebody's corner you always reach out to your people who was like you know what put their arm around you to make sure that you're okay uh it like emotionally like spiritually like when it come to what my brother just to make sure that you okay nobody you know i mean nobody hell no nobody it's like who does the go-to guy

go to right you get what i'm saying i'm i'm the one this in this in the corners you get what i'm saying like it ain't no yeah nobody you know what I'm saying? I'm the one that's in the corners. You get what I'm saying? Like, it ain't no, yeah, nobody. You know what I'm saying? And it ain't even expected, you know what I mean? Which ain't, that ain't healthy at all, but it's not expected of me. Like, I'm kind of like,

a lot of people probably attempted to be, you know what I'm saying? But I don't, you know, that's just how I'm wired. That's how a lot of, you know, black men wired. Like, we don't, we taught to suck that shit

and keep it moving. You get what I'm saying? Like, hey, bro, I ain't no, you know you got to deal with this shit, you know what I'm saying, that's put in front of you, you know what I mean? So that's something that I really stand on, and I'm really the shoulder to lean on more than the person looking to lean on the shoulder, you know what I'm saying? Like, I won't even allow it, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't, it got to be, it got to be equal with me, you know what I mean?

And when you start going to therapy? I ain't even started this shit. I plan on starting it immediately. You know what I mean? I plan on starting it. I want to have a conversation with you. You know what I'm saying? Off the air. You know what I mean?

When we get done. And just so you can, you know what I mean? Give me some insight on that and, you know, lead me in the right direction. I got an idea of how I want to do it, but I want to get you, you know what I mean? What do you want to get out of therapy? Because most people, I know when they go, it almost feels like somebody's in your life. You know what I'm saying? And that was always my thing with it.

I'm like, man, I ain't about to pay nobody to tell them my business like but it ain't it ain't even that like and really what got me on it right what got me on like look i'm about to start therapy i want to do it it's me working on my documentary you get what i'm saying so i did so much digging you know what i'm saying into my past and i'm i'm calling my mama i'm having conversations with her i'm asking her questions you know i'm saying i'm calling this uncle this uncle you know and as they telling me these stories and they confirming certain stuff that is jogging my memory, like I'm remembering more and more. And then I'm, oh, what about this? And yeah, boom, boom.

I'm getting answers. And I'm like, damn, hold on. Like, I'm f***ed up. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm really, you know, it's different. And, you know, like with this, with this smile and even how I came in there, everywhere I go, they do this and do this. Smile and show your teeth. Like, you know, it is far more to me than what meets the eye. You know what I'm saying? It's less to me like it's different.

And I know it ain't no different than than just about any other individual. You know what I'm saying? Like we you know, we we kings, we know how to goddamn carry it and and carry on. You know what I mean? But at the same time you know these kings need somebody to go to you know what i mean for sure now how difficult was it to go from the streets to the industry the reason i say that is you know when you're in the streets and you get in the fight you get in the fight you go home they go home but now when you're in the industry you get in the fight they suing you man look and they suing the tail off you right so i got my licks in before i started getting sued well i got my licks in. You know what I'm saying? But now, yeah, I don't.

Does it make me what? Like scared to put my hands up? You're running from everything. Absolutely. I'd be a b****. I ain't got time for that s***. About four million on lawsuits, man. Like four or five million on lawsuits.

What, settling out or just fighting them? Nah, fighting them. A lot of that b****. I don't put my hands on nobody that don't deserve it. You know what I'm saying? When I say deserve it, I ain't saying like, okay, I feel like you be bulls**t. I don't put my hands on nobody that don't deserve it. You know what I'm saying? When I say deserve it, I ain't saying like, okay, I feel like you deserve an ass whooping. Like, nah. So that's why I don't get charged criminally with nothing.

Like, you feel me? Like, I don't. You know what I mean? Like, I'm going, like, you have to make me do that. You know what I'm saying? Like, I just defend myself. That's all. I just defend myself.

One of my favorite songs on the album is Ain't That A B*****. Because I can relate. But one thing, you said you are willing to reconcile with some of these people if they admit they was wrong You better that's me. Yeah, but but I ain't though. That's one thing about me. I ain't no race I'm only talking about probably like one Nah because I keep it I keep it real for that You know I'm saying like anybody anybody out there, they know. It ain't no, you know, the proof is in the pudding when it comes to me. I can hear the pain in that song.

It's like you do things for people. You help people. You don't never gossip about how you help them. Hell no, I ain't going to say a word. You know what I mean? But the thing about this, with me, it's really, I don't even got to talk about what I done did for a nigga. I don't got to do that. You know what I mean?

So when it come down to that, it just be like, damn, ain't that a b***h? You know what I'm saying? Like, I just leave it right at that. That's why I came with that song. I feel like that's something everybody got a situation or a particular relationship or something, you know what I mean, along the way in their journey that they can immediately relate to that record, you know what I mean? Do you have to change all that, though? Do you have to change the people around you?

Did you see artists switch up on you and people that you thought were family switch up on you? Absolutely. Hell yeah. Was that the hardest were family switch up on you? Absolutely. Yeah. Was that the hardest? Was that the hardest? What, artists? No, no, no. Family and the people that you thought were your family switch up on you.

Was that the hardest thing to deal with? Dealing with that, it wasn't hard dealing with that because I was born into this cut though. So like that type really ain't like, you know, I grew up, the environment I grew up in, man, like, you know, like your family members that got them steal your shit if you look for it. You get what I'm saying? It's like that. So it's, I'm, I'm used to that. See, that's what a lot of motherfuckers don't know.

Like when it come to me, like that part, I know anybody across you. I've been through that. You know what I mean? That be where a lot of motherfuckers, where I had them fooled too. Like they're thinking sweet. They not knowing. Like I done already in their streets. I done done that type of shit.

You get what I'm saying? And so that part is whatever. The hardest part with it is severing the ties with the you do like that that particular you know what i'm saying group and understanding like like them like really processing it like me you got them tripping you acting like one of them type you you tripping you know that's the that's the hardest part to me but like when anybody i didn't met through like you know music or some other man i'm So you don't trust nobody? Trust my daughter?

Mm-hmm. I trust my daughter. I trust people to be themselves, man, at the end of the day. You know, I trust people to be themselves. And I know a person is, I know it's human nature to preserve, you know what I'm saying, your own best interests. This way I know. I'll never be a lick. I ain't never been a successful lick.

Like, it ain't going to happen. You might think, you might think it's got them going but ask around bump into these mother ask them how it end up going or just look you know what i'm saying enough yeah yeah it ain't we know how yeah i ain't talking about like responding that way though but i'm just saying like it ain't no yeah it ain't not and not even no push so it's just like like I do I do things righteously at the end of the day even when I get on even when I put

and that's why I make it through these that's why I got them overcome any of these obstacles because if I got them do something

I did it righteously whether it's whether it's got them something that's considered good or if it's something of this or if it's got them if I kill

I did it righteously you get what I'm saying so I'm going home I'm not doing nothing that I ain't supposed to be doing it end of the day there's trauma that comes with that too and you've had to do that you know you had to defend yourself yeah I'm sure there's some trauma that comes with that like of course you know anytime somebody somebody life is lost you know it whether knowingly or not you know it probably definitely got some type of effect on you feel me but like I say like I'm I operate righteously you

know I'm saying everything I do so i'm okay with whatever results i get from that now if i'm doing something unrighteously which i don't do that ain't even how i'm rocking i don't even got to do that if i do something unrighteously in the hell yeah that will haunt me every single day come can we play a joint on the album i would love to i think fat can go for the radio that is definitely the the radio jump fat I already knew what Fat was. I really could have just came with that as a single, but I'm like, nah, they got to get the person. All right, well, let's get into it.

It's called Fat, P-H-A-T. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Fat from the Baby. That's off his album, How the F is This, a mixtape or a mixtape, whatever you want to call it. He's in the building. We're chopping it up with him now.

Charlamagne? I want to ask you about Hollywood Freak. No, Hollywood Freak. Because it made me think, like, what's more enjoyable you about Hollywood Freak no Hollywood Freak because it made me think like what's more enjoyable a Hollywood Freak or a 704 Ratchet 704 Ratchet

I'm Hollywood Freak it's weird than a I can vouch I can vouch I can vouch a nice yeah

a nice ghetto thing but you also say you hate a nice chick you got a song called I hate a nice chick no when I say a nice ghetto thing I don't mean a nice

no I mean like nice. You mean like built nice. Not even built. Like, you know, just Just nice. Yeah. But not like nice, like friendly. Not friendly.

Yeah, because on I hate a nice chick. I hate a nice chick. So you don't want to chick that guy manas? With me? But f*** everybody else. Except me and your daddy.

Oh, so you don't want her to be friendly with other people is what you're saying? F*** no. You say you got too much ops out here. Okay, I see what you're saying. I don't got ops. You say it in your song.

I say I don't got too many ops out here, but you know I got shots like I'm at the bar. I don't got ops, but I keep shots. Plenty of them. Jesus. How the f*** is this a mix tape, man? Listen, during all this stuff you faced, man, I just want to know, you always appear confident and strong in public, but I wonder if you projected that confidence as a way to convince yourself that you weren't going through what you were going through.

Absolutely. And that's a problem that I feel like a lot of black men in particular have. This is what we literally got to do. You know what I'm saying? It ain't nobody else to where, okay, you get pulled over, and goddam gotta do you know what i'm saying like it ain't nobody else to where okay you get pulled over and god damn it you know what i mean they're gonna shoot you off the rip you know what i mean so it's like we we've been conditioned to be like this for for so long not to even get too revolutionary you get what i'm saying but it's like it's a real thing like i didn't have police goddamn try to kill me several times

you know what i'm saying like felt it like oh these gonna kill me like when you when you already got four five on you probably was about six and they still saying uh stop resist give me your hands and they already about to break your arm it's like hold on you already got them like what you tell you know what's going on you get what i'm saying when they start moving in slow motion you know something gonna happen you know what i mean so it's like yeah i'm you know so many so many different scenarios and situations but just me just being a a black man who stand on morals and principles period i'm in danger every second i step out the door and i can't show weaknesses i can't you feel me i'm conditioned to believe that i can't show weaknesses because as a black man they preyed upon like the second i i feel like i i showed vulnerability as an artist

i saw it get prayed upon you get what i'm saying like from the from from everywhere you know what i mean from the media to everybody like i saw it and i'm like oh got me up like they don't you know what i'm saying like i really don't you know it's really this way but at the same time you know that's just that's a never ending never ending process to navigate through you get what i'm saying and i think the best way to navigate through any process is gracefully and that's just that's a never-ending never-ending process to navigate through you get what i'm saying and i think the best way to navigate through any process is gracefully and that's what i'm on you know what i mean instead of being combative with this whatever like that's too much energy and i personally like me i could easily be consumed with it you know what i'm saying like i got i started making music for the haters like what the

i'm doing right i started making music to where i'm only addressing these feel this way about i'm tripping they not they're not the ones who buy you get what i'm saying i see the fans like damn you got them showing them more loving than us we want to you know we we the ones that love you so it's like you know and and everybody like be careful anybody whatever it is that you do like like don't get tricked in the you know what i mean like allowing your purpose to become proven The hate I done already did that Like it ain't nothing

A hater can take from me You dig what I'm saying It's nothing A hater can take from me You gotta come take something from me That is hard to take That's it You get what I'm saying

But other than that Like you know Don't get lost in the sauce I got lost in the sauce I'm real enough to say that I got lost in the sauce And allowed myself to God damn

Get tricked out of my position And I hold myself A thousand percent Accountable for that And I'm glad you to say that I got lost in the sauce and allowed myself to goddamn get tricked out of my position. I hold myself a thousand percent accountable for that. And I'm glad you started the baby kids. Absolutely. So other people don't get lost in the sauce. Absolutely. In no way, shape, or form. You should be in the first in line.

Absolutely. For your own program. That's what I'm saying. That's something I've been advocating, you know what I mean? Like for the past two weeks, like I need this. So it's like when people say, you know what, it's something that I need. You know what i mean i'm a grown-ass man and i know you know i know me at at this age could utilize this program i know my nieces can need this on my nephew i know

plenty people bro plenty millions of people around the world you know what i mean and that's what i started the baby carriers for shout out to tammy for helping me take that all the way up through there's something i've been wanting to do you You know what I'm saying? But now I can do it like on a large scale. And I love the recognition that it's getting because I can already see it. You know what I'm saying? Drawing people in. I already know what time. I be sending copy every goddamn thing else I do.

So, you know, hopefully it'll light a fire in somebody else. Going to journey of healing. Absolutely, bro. I saw you said on Sway, the baby had to sit down so that you could take care of Jonathan. What is taking care of Jonathan? It's really all this going collectively. Like, number one is hold myself accountable so I can identify the things that I do need to tend to. You get what I'm saying?

Rather than goddamn diverting and deflecting, you know what I'm saying? And blaming it on this or this. So, man, I'm going through this because of this or because of that. Like, nah, like I done did plenty s*** ahead of time that even got people to even think about, you know, placing me in this type of box. You know what I'm saying? So I got to hold myself accountable for these things.

But it's just moving better. You know what I'm saying? And getting organized, getting on top of my business, getting on top of my personal life. You know, I'll be in, Jonathan be in the gym. Nah, you know what I'm saying?

Grab the baby. I do need that. You put the baby in because I baby oil. I do need that. I do need that because I was running. I do need that. Y'all can really come on with some of that. I'm not f***ing with y'all. And this baby oil. But nah, I mean, and, you know, and taking care of the people.

Yeah, Jonathan be in the gym. But I ain't been in it like three, four days. So this really, you know, this ain't mean. Okay. You know what I'm saying? God damn, Lauren. What the f***?

Let's get your head done. You need to be real, brother. Jessica Lawrence, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Jess don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Now before we hop into some things I did want to mention We talked about Garth Brooks and the trending versus not. Since that happened, he has began trending across Twitter.

He's at the bottom. He's number 30. He's trending in country music right now. And I did go through, you know, the hashtags and see what people were talking about. A lot of it is these people, you know, alleging that this is all happening because he decided to come out and support kamala harris which is yeah so i didn't want to mention that their version of garth brooks is trying to buy nbc yes yes yep that's what it is that's what it is yep yep yep um but moving on um today is richard mcquon's birthday so you know sending a happy birthday

to him i know his family is you know just trying to be in comfort today he also or they also released a album in celebration of his life today it's called forever going in ironically it's 34 songs and in the caption they mentioned it's 34 songs which is the age that rich homey kwan passed away um which is the age that rich homey kwan passed away at let's take a listen to the intro now you hear yourself in there charla he has your donkey today intro in there as well and the song is about him not falling off getting back to music letting people know he's here he's outside um and that the tape is going to be a good one i did take a listen and it's good like he he mentions his flow and how his flow kind of originated a lot of the Atlanta artists.

He mentions Gunna and Gunna's flow in there and saying that he originated a lot of that. I didn't get to listen to all 34 songs, but it's good so far from what I heard. Rest in peace to Rich Homie Quan. 34 songs, if it's a posthumous tape, wouldn't you split that up? That's a lot of music.

That could have been a couple projects. I'm sure they did it because that's his age it represented his age yeah i think i think they just wanted to make that a thing as well too i don't i don't know they didn't specify why the decision was made but yeah he must have a lot more music in the vault if they put out 34 songs right okay um well yeah i'm pretty sure they do. But, you know, I hope. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions. But you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.

For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

I'm sorry, to Eminem. Eminem is a granddad.

Did y'all see that? No, y'all didn't see it. Y'all didn't see it? I did see it. 50 posted it yesterday, right? Yes. Y'all like, that's exciting. We should clap for that.

Salute him. Yes. Absolutely. So Eminem, who's 51 now, is a granddad. His daughter, Haley, who is 28. He dropped his temporary music video. Remember we talked about he had dropped all this music speaking to his kids and as if he didn't make it through his drug addiction. So he dropped a video for it.

And in the video, there's like a bunch of home videos of Haley and the other kids while they're younger. And then it cuts to this one video where he's surprised. Like she sits him down. She brings out this jersey. The jersey is a blue jersey, but I don't know if she's having a boy or a girl. And on the back of the jersey says detroit lions jersey that's right oh well still i don't know if this symbolizes anything to the color but um she gives him a sonogram and she gives him uh the jersey that says grand pop number one how old is she now she's 28 years old that's okay i'm cool with. I was just sitting back thinking, okay, 51.

I'll be 51 in five years. Do I want to be a granddad in five years? No. Because my oldest daughter will only be 21. But 28 is a good age. She's 28 and she's married. Remember Eminem walked her down the aisle. So she locked in.

And 50 Cent posted about this and posted some photos of them. And he said, man, a baby is not a baby anymore. Congratulations, man. We getting old. Shaking my head. No, not getting.

We there. Y'all are there. You already there, baby. Yep. Ancient. Don't say ancient. It's a blessing. It's a blessing.

I wouldn't want it no other way. Age is a blessing. It is. The opposite of not aging is being dead. So let's take it. I'm happy. Well, another happy couple news. Jennifer Hudson and Common had a conversation on air during her show about some marriage

comments that he's made. Let's take a listen to a comment on Jennifer Hudson. I heard you've been even out there talking about marriage. Ken, what's that about? I was asked about marriage. Yes. I just answered honestly. I said, you know what? You told me a quote that your mother said, a man knows what he wants. can uh what's that about i was asked about marriage yes i just answered honestly i said

you know what you told me a quote that your mother said a man knows what he wants i was just saying i was saying my true feelings about jennifer is the person if if i should be married it will be to jennifer kate hudson i was just being honest yeah but where do you stand on that where are you where are you you know on that? Where are you in that? You know what? My mother was right. I think if she had a match, she'd say, I don't know about the rest of them, but that comment is all right with me. That's what she would say.

And I would agree. I think it's a beautiful thing. I think you are a deserving man. And, you know, I support that idea. I think it's a beautiful idea. Why don't they just go ahead and do it? I'm going to tell you something Common You missed the best opportunity

To propose To propose Yes Right then and there I thought it was going to happen As soon as she said What she said That last line

You should have got down on your knees It would have been a surprise to her Yes It would have been a surprise to the audience You should have proposed Right then and there You missed the great opportunity But I don't think he knew

That she was going to bring that up I don't think she knew Because those comments were made over the summer you guys so he was here um in july on the breakfast club and he made those comments and then he was um in philly as well and made the comments again and i don't know if he knew he was there to promote um him and pete rock were at her show to promote their uh recent album the auditorium volume one so i don't know if he knew but it would have been a great questions it would have been good it would have been so good. Now let me ask you a question, Lauren.

You're a woman, right? Yes. Were you here to ask me that? I don't know what you... I am a woman, yes. She. How many times can a man say, if I was to get married, it would be to you and it would be considered a compliment?

You only can get that off a couple times. Yeah, now after this, it's like, what are we doing? That's right. Common has said it enough where it's like, oh my God,

that is so cute. That's right. He's confirmed how she felt, and publicly. Now after this, next time you bring this up, baby,

bring it up with us. But we all know Common is very, very artsy. You know, he plans his things, so I'm sure when he does it, it's going to be amazing.

Common ain't just going to be on a regular random street and do it it's going to be amazing i will say i didn't know if you know i made these comments when i was here last like the ghost ghost hosting um go around i didn't know if this was going to last because common be in and out it'd be seeming serious and then he he'd be out she got him he there common serious i'm happy for them i like comments salutes a comment congratulations early on the engagement because it's going to happen if it hasn't already we'll see i don't know all right well that was just with the mess with lauren larosa charlotte bang yes sir who are you giving that down man salute the atlanta man there's a brother in atlanta named brandon dillard uh he's was known as a top veneer specialist in Atlanta. Okay, we need

him to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him this morning. Alright, we'll get to that next. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Donkey up the day. Made it. Damn, the hee haw again. It's time for donkey up the day.

I ain't trying to be donkey today no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. I'm called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlamagne. Who got the Donkey of the Day today? Well, Jessalarius, Donkey of the Day for Friday, October 4th, goes to a young man named Brandon Dillard.

Now, Brandon Dillard is known as a top veneer specialist in Atlanta. Salute to everybody who listens to us in Atlanta. He has a practice called A-List Smiles in Atlanta. I went to their Instagram page, and they have 160,000 followers. They tout themselves as Atlanta's top veneer specialist and trainer. They say you can DM three photos of your teeth for a free quote. You can call them at 404. I don't want to give the number out.

I might as well. They can call them at 404-254-3169, and they are open. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern. They have a picture of Brandon Dillard as the profile pic. And if you look on their page, you see a bunch of what looks like satisfied customers. They look like satisfied customers to me. They're flashing their now A-list smiles. He charges $5,500 for the veneer procedure.

I saw specialist and trainer in his bio as well. So I went to look and see what type of training. And what Brandon does is he holds training sessions for people across the country. And he holds these training sessions to teach them how to do veneers. He charges more than $6,000 to teach you how to be a veneer specialist. Now, you would look at that page and you would say to yourself, look, another black-owned business thriving in Atlanta. Young brother out here making sure your breath don't stink by fixing your root canal filling in your cavities gotta

salute that right wrong see yesterday brandon dylan and alice smiles were raided by district attorney investigators and atlanta police why were they raided let's go to wsb tv put a report please investigators raided what looks like a high-end dental practice in northeast Atlanta. Check out social media. You see the specialty of A-list smiles Atlanta, veneers. It does look reputable. It does look professional, and that's part of the scan. To his 157,000 Instagram followers, Brandon Dillard promoted himself as Atlanta's top veneer specialist and trainer, but he's not showing off that expensive smile in this booking photo on eight felony charges, including practicing dentistry and medicine without a license and theft by deception. Is Brandon Dillard a dentist? Brandon Dillard is not a dentist. He's never

been a dentist, and as much as he may want to play one on Instagram, he is not one. Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis tells me only licensed dentists can do this kind of work in Georgia. If you went to this and you thought it was a dental office and you looked at the equipment, it appears to be legitimate. But that's what the best fraudsters do is they do everything they can to make themselves look legitimate. And in this case, the problem is the consequences are to one's health. Damn. There's somebody out there listening to us on 96.1 The Beat, and they went to A-list smiles to get their teeth done. Lord have mercy. Brandon Dillard, hop up out that bed, turn my scam on.

Took a look at these teeth and said, what's up? Listen, imagine you go to the dentist thinking you're in good hands, thinking you're about to walk out with an A-list smile, but instead you get great value veneers. All of y'all who went to A-list smiles might as well say you got your teeth from Timu. Okay, smiles by Sheen is what you should have called your practice, Brandon. Okay, fashion molars. All right, listen, you got your teeth installed by somebody who probably watched a couple of YouTube videos and thought to themselves, yeah, I can do this, okay, which is what I don't understand. If you're inspired to be a dentist and you spend all this time and energy into setting up a fake practice,

getting an office, getting all the equipment you need to be a dentist, then why the hell didn't you just take your ass to school to be a dentist? I want to play a game of guess what race it is, but what's the point? We all know this is niggas niggin'. All right, listen, just because you can fix your own car doesn't mean you are a licensed mechanic who can start their own mechanic shop. By the way, salute to all the people in rural America who aren't licensed mechanics but know how to change an alternator.

Okay, drop on a clues bomb for those individuals. You are appreciated. But working on my car and working on my mouth are two completely different things the same way you can't play boxing the same way you can't play with stand-up comedy that's how i feel about playing playing like a dentist okay i feel like that playing like a dentist times a hundred times being a plan being playing being a dentist is is worse than all of that just because you have nice teeth just because you know how to floss and love to play in other people's mouths, doesn't mean you are a licensed dentist. Brandon Dillard, the biggest reason you should be ashamed of yourself is because of what I said previously. You spend all of this time, energy, and money into pretending.

Reality, as we know it, is a thing of the past, folks. People would rather put the work in to pretend to be something they are not, as opposed to putting the work in to actually accomplish real goals in life. Now you got folks walking around Atlanta with counterfeit chompers, okay? Phony pearly whites, black market molars, and why? I bet he acted surprised when they raided the place, too. Okay, if I was the land of police, I'd be like, Negro, knock it off. You know why we here.

Brandon is now being charged with eight felonies, including practicing dentistry without a license, practicing medicine without a license, and theft by deception. Turn my scam on. My brothers, my sisters, there is no right way to do the wrong thing. And this young man had the opportunity and clearly God given skills to do the right thing and he chose not to simply because he didn't want to do the work of going to school, which makes no sense to me because this level of scamming is hard work. The D.A. says Brandon's business looked reputable. He said it does look professional, which is part of the scam. D.A. Fannie Willis said if you went to this and you thought it was a dental office and you looked at the equipment, it appears to be legitimate. But that's what the best fraudsters do, she said.

She said they do everything they can to make themselves look legitimate. And in this case, this is an illegitimate operation. Once again, I don't understand why a person would go through all of this just to create something that is a sham. You could have went to school. You can't scam your way to true success. That's the moral of the story. You can't scam your way to true success. There are no shortcuts to true excellence.

There are no shortcuts to success. In fact, if you take shortcuts, you get cut short. Please give Brandon Dillard the biggest hee-haw. Hop up out that bed. Turn my scale on. I want to look at it and see how they look. Like Charlamagne said, it's very impressive that he was able to do all those

damn veneers with no license, no classes, nothing. You could tell, if he would have just put the energy to just going to school, getting his license and doing it, he did have done this without a license. You know what's crazy? I always say that I feel like doctors, dentists, dermatologists, they actually have a God-given gift. I truly believe this.

I believe that God anointed certain people to do those tasks, but you still have to go to school and get your license and everything else. So clearly he had the gift. He just didn't want to put the work in to go to school to get his license, which makes no sense to me. Because look at his practice. You got all this nice equipment. You know what I'm saying? You know what you're doing. Just go to school.

But the comments people are saying they like him. They're saying they actually like the work that he's done. No, I'm looking at it right now. It looks really good. It's not the big cheap teeth, the embarrassing ones. Not the horse teeth? No, it looks good. In the beginning, people would be like,

oh, I didn't have the money, but he was booked. He got people on his page. He does. But once again, we all know the person in the hood. We all know the person in the rural area who knows how to change an alternator, who probably can take your engine out,

all of that stuff, and he don't got no license but that's a big difference doing your car and doing your mouth is two totally different things and i understand that you know this man brandon is only charging 5500 but it's still illegal why wouldn't he just go to school why he wake up in the morning talking about how about that bad turn my scam on why and i wonder who his first client was like who's the first person you tried it was like you know let me try do they see if this work yo what the heck that's scary so who's his anesthesiologist is that person licensed correctly i have no idea yo what i'm not not letting you stick my gums with no needle and you don't know how to...

You ain't got no license. They was doing raffles. They had the raffle announcements. $25 per entry. $100 for six entry. Winners get a full set for $1,500. Lord have mercy. I don't know if he did see Kemp, but she was on here promoting his veneer collection.

You think they'll let him do that in jail? Probably. Yo. You go to jail, talk about you playing and somebody might watch what happened to you.

You're going to be welcomed with open arms and open mouth. That's crazy. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Mm-hmm.

All right. Now, let's talk about homecoming. This is homecoming season. Homecoming start this weekend. And our very own Lauren LaRosa is very excited about homecoming season. She's already telling people, look, don't call me. I'm not driving.

I'm getting lit this whole weekend. It's going to be a movie. So let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Yes. To people going to homecoming. Is this their chance to cheat when nobody knows? Is this their past? What kind of toxic

ass question? Who came up with this toxic ass question? Lauren LaRosa? I didn't come up with this question, but that is a thing at homecoming. People come to homecoming and they act like whatever is happening in their real lives, their recent marriages, their families don't exist. They want to act like they back in college. And they try to hook up with them old flings and all that.

Alright, well let's open up the phone lines and find out. 800-585-1051. When you guys out there going to homecoming, is this your chance to do what you got to do and then come back home like nothing happened? Is it like what happens at homecoming stays at homecoming? Imagine bringing gonorrhea home from an alumni party. Your old ass. You should have said crabs. You should have said crabs. Take your old ass to swag surf and you get gone to real.

You should have said crabs. You get gone to real and take it back to your significant other. You better sit down somewhere. Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We're asking, it's homecoming season. When you go to homecoming season, is it your chance to while out and then come back to your significant other?

That is the question. The reason I'm asking that is because both you and Morgan said y'all about to get lit on campus. You already, you said I'm not driving. You said I'm about to get drunk. I'm going to be drunk the whole weekend. I got to watch myself so I can pace myself. So is that after the weekend? Man, what that got to do with sex?

Nothing you said, that don't got nothing to do with sex. Nothing I said has anything to do with sex. And I'm also single. Right. But I will say. He just wanted you to say that. He just wanted you to say that. He set you up to say that.

See, he just wanted you to say you were single. Can we cut the Zoom? Can we cut the Zoom? But I will say that people do come back to homecoming. And it's not just HBCU homecomings as well. Because I done been to UD. I done been to Temple as well. People come to homecoming and they want to relive their glory days.

And a lot of times the glory days meant you weren't in a relationship. And they want to link up with those old flings who are doing a lot better now than they were when you seen them. And, I mean, it's a thing. It literally is a thing that happens. Well, I've been to a bunch of homecomings. Usually I bring my wife. Or if my wife is not there, I work and I take my ass

right back to my hotel. As you should. I ain't playing. And when I was in that relationship, I didn't play no games about the homecoming because we went to

two different schools. I want to know where you at, what you're doing. And also, I'm coming down for the homecoming. Introduce me to all

the sissies that you've been hanging out with all year. Okay. J.A. Talk to me. What's up, J.A.? Talk to me. What's up, JA? Talk to us.

So, yeah, man. I will say that based off experience, not my own, just guys that I know I play ball with and fraternity, your girl should not be allowed to go to homecoming alone, and that is not a sex estate.

I've seen it. You see... I've been out there. Go ahead. I'm sorry. I said you see when they go to homecoming is they forget they got a husband at home. It's different. Why would you go back to homecoming without your'm sorry. I said, you see when they go to homecoming, they forget they got a husband at home. Hey, it's different. Why would you go back to homecoming without your man?

Anytime I fly, she's coming with me because by this time we go back, girls are on their second and third marriage. They're divorced, single, you name it. So, yeah, man, it's different out there. I done been to every homecoming in the Midwest and a few in the South. I'm going to Howard's in a couple weeks. It's different out there. It's not just the women, though. It's both parties. It's the Midwest and a few in the South. I'm going to Howard's in a couple weeks. It's different out there. It's not just the women, though.

It's both parties. It's the guys and girls. Black men, don't you? Ashley. Yes? Now, this is Ashley. You already got them calls. Are you coming to homecoming?

They want to see you. They want their whole thing back. They've been hearing you all week, haven't they? The little check-ins. Already. Already say homecoming next weekend. Already getting the calls. Are you married or in a relationship? I'm not, but that doesn't

stop the phone calls. That doesn't mean that anything is happening, but they definitely make the calls. Ashley, what school you go to? Well, here's the weird part. I actually didn't even go to this school. I'm from the city. It's my hometown. So you just used to be one of them on campus. You used to be one of them

chicks on campus. Well, you know, it is what it is. What school, Ashley? You ain't gonna tell us? I did say Albany State. So are any of the people reaching out to you now married or in relationships? They definitely are. Oh, God. And so the vibe

is what happens at homecoming stays at homecoming? That's their vibe. It's entertaining to me and my friends, but, you know, it happens. Oh, group chat comedy is up 1,000 points this week. Thank you, Ashley. And for people that don't know, Albany State is actually in Georgia, not Albany, New York. Did you know that?

I thought she was talking about the Albany, New York. But the one in Georgia is the HBCU. The HBCU, yep, yep, yep, yep. I wonder what the people in their 50s say about the old whores that they know in their 50s. Like the, you know, the old whores.

When they see them on the yard. Yeah, the ones that you know. Especially like when she said she ain't even go to the school. Like the ones that came from other schools and was probably letting people run trains on them

and all kind of stuff. Like what do you say when you see them at homecoming? I'm not 50, but I will tell you when we be seeing them. And she a lawyer now. When we be seeing them like with babies and married, we be like, man, look at her.

Go ahead, girl. Hello. Look at her. She was a hoe and she got married and got kids. And look at you. Damn it. Hello. Because I hit single.

Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Airline Fool from VA. Airline Fool from VA. What's up, brother? As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection,

it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

So I think it was Charlamagne that said, don't beat on it, cheat on it. Yeah, that's a young man game. Anybody that's a master of fortune knows I can't afford no divorce. Wait a minute. First of all, Charlamagne ain't never said nothing about, no, don't beat on it, cheat on it.

I ain't never said nothing like that. Charlamagne said black men don't cheat. Yo. Okay? You're right. My bad. I apologize. See what I'm saying?

That's why people be hating me for nothing. Charlamagne said nothing of the sort. He was so clear, too. Charlamagne said don't beat on it, cheat on it. I take it with Charlamagne who said, what? I know why I believe it. I said, whoa. I've been up here with this brother for 15 years.

I ain't never heard him say that. That was crazy. That one was crazy. I said, black men don't cheat. 800-585-1051. Homecoming season starts this weekend. Lauren LaRosa goes to Delaware State. She's going.

I don't know if y'all heard. Y'all haven't heard? No, no. Who's that? Who's that? Leon Thomas. Oh, no, I ain't heard it yet. Oh, my God.

It's so good. Mac told me it's fire, though. There's a few great R&B projects that dropped this year, but this one's definitely in the contenders for one of the best. My favorite record on there, though, is called Feelings on Silent featuring Wale. And Wale did justice. I can't wait to go see him.

We still gonna go see him? I can't wait to go see him. I love Wale. No, he's really that guy. Talk to Wale. He'll be actually in New York this Saturday on tour.

I feel like Wale is going to get his just due. Wale is a person who, you know, for the last 15 years or however long it's been, you know, he's always been in the mix. People respect him, but I feel like a Wale res a person who, you know, for the last 15 years or however long it's been, you know, he's always been in the mix. People respect him.

But I feel like a Wale resurgence coming. I feel like everybody's going to realize how dope Wale has been and actually is. You think people don't know how dope he is? I think people know. I think there's other factors. I do. But there's other conversations that I feel like he should be in that he's not in. You know what I mean?

Like he don't get mentioned in that top tier like he should be in that he's not in. You know what I mean? Like, he don't get mentioned in that top tier like he should. Yeah. And I think now that Kendrick has cleared the field, and it's really just big him, for whatever reason, when the smoke is cleared, for whatever reason, Wale is going to come out really good. You're bringing Wale in the top three, top five, Kava? I mean, to me, he's always been in the top five.

He was already in there. He was definitely top five. I can see what you're saying there, because I don't think I've ever heard someone put him there. Yeah, he deserves it. But I think Wale deserves it. He needs to bring his ass up here. Wale ain't been up here in a minute.

Well, he gonna be in town so y'all should bring him up here tomorrow. Yeah, Wale should be coming up here. Wale, Rhapsody, Kendrick. We don't gotta do a big three anymore. But I think now there's a new blog era class of young rappers, young spitters from different regions.

And then two out of New York City of my favorites, I got to say is Nico Brim and the Life of Tom. And they just dropped a new record. Do you like it? Yeah, I like it. I didn't know. Honestly, what was he on that was like kind of trendy? That was Tom in the beginning

and then Nico Brim on the second half. But I don't know. He was just recently on tour at Rhapsody. He was her opener. There was something else I heard him on before and I felt like I didn't really listen to him. Then I was like, oh, okay, he really, he's rapping. Salute to Nico. That's Rhapsody Art He was her opener. There was something else I heard him on before and I felt like I didn't really listen to him. Then I was like, oh, okay, he really,

he's rapping. Salute to Nico. That's Rhapsody Yard, right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, Nico's doing really, really great right now, man. So proud of him.

Make sure you guys tune in and tap in with him and Tom. Tom is a really fire MC, too. But it's weird because he's like a Puerto Rican hippie with dreads.

He has like a really cool aesthetic. I'm kind of into it. So shout out to Nico and Tom. And then I definitely want to talk about this weekend Playboy Cardi record because I was a little concerned when I saw them collaborating. But the record actually came out kind of fire. Okay.

I don't know how I felt about that. It's a little bop. Yeah. We played it every hour and hour last week. It's a little bop. I feel like I heard that record a million times from a million other artists. It just sounds like... Okay. It's not bad bop. I feel like I heard that record a million times from a million other artists. It just sounds like it's not bad, but it just fits in.

It feels like another version of 50 other songs, but it's still a bop. It's like this, I don't know, it's just this one little rhythm and then...

Okay, well, I'm not mad at it. And when you hear it, it's cool. It ain't whack. It's not whack. I feel like it's growing on me the more I hear it. Y'all heard it every hour on the hour.

You've heard it a million other times from a million other artists. Oh, my God. The reason why I was concerned because I feel like I liked early Playboy, but then as Playboy continued, he kind of went a little too left for me. But I feel like this was okay. Because I heard it a million other times from a million other artists. All right, all right, all right. Something you haven't heard yet is Tootsie's Project, but I felt like this was okay cause I heard it a million other times alright alright alright alright something you haven't

heard yet is Toosie's Project or maybe you did cause it just dropped tonight and we just did the album listening for him

Certified Vibe just did the album listening for him so I wanna get into my favorite song off the project called F U Mean good

I like it a lot I like Toosie as a person me too you don't like the music I like some of his songs, but I like him as a person. You feel like, no.

No, you're not. Be honest. You're not love. I actually like his, I like the- She just said he like his music. You just said you like him as a person. The first song on his album

is the most fire song on this new record. It's one, I think it's like the, I think it's number three. What's number three? Gunna is one with Gunna hard too. One of Gunna is number two.

I'm talking about the intro, the first song. It's number three. One of them, he talking, he them, he's talking to a girl. And then the one with Kehlani. The one with Kehlani's crazy. Yeah, that one is crazy. But it's crazy toxic.
