Good morning, USA! Hey! Charlotte always run the league. Yeah. Yeah, you know, this morning it was the George Washington Bridge, and on the way in to work every morning, I listen to the news. And the reason I listen to the news is not only so I can figure out what's going on in the world, whether it's political, whether it's celebrity, but also to know which way I can drive in. And this morning it said the George Washington Bridge is a 45-minute delay. So I didn't take the George Washington Bridge. I take the same way every day. I've only hit traffic one time in my whole existence here.

Until that one time when that bridge is closed or that tunnel is closed and you're stuck. Oh yeah, I'm a B. So I took another way, which got me here on time. And Charlemagne is still on the bridge. So come on, Charlemagne. Oh, he didn't listen to the news. He didn't listen to the news. Why you didn't text him?

I didn't think about it. I'd be zoning in on my way to work. Envy, that is so selfish. I usually do. I usually text him, you know, the bridge is shut down or the bridge is... But I just follow navigation. Navigation took me a different route. I should have, though.

At least one of y'all are here. That's right. Because that one day when I thought it was about to just start with me, I'm like, I can't do all the yo-yo-yos good, but I'm like, y'all, I need help being here. You good. You got a lot to discuss today. Man, yeah. Woo.

First rumors. You got to fill us on what's going on with Diddy. Diddy was arrested yesterday yeah did he was taken into custody custody yesterday um by federal by the feds and i man when i got the alert my my exact words were oh man it's over and this is this is not state this is federal yeah this is federal and and i was just saying to you um before like you can do certain things on a state level but when it it goes federal, they're not playing around. They're really trying to make sure people understand not to play with them.

Yeah, and they say that their conviction rate is 85 or 90 percent or something like that. The feds do not. And I've been saying this since all this happened. The feds are not organizing the way they did around the situation in multiple different states, multiple different agencies, unless they really think they got something. And they know who you You're in New York. You know who Diddy is. You know who Sean Combs is. You're not going to risk a high-profile mess-up.

laura la rosa's filling in for jess and let's get in some front page news now last night like i said the eagles lost to the falcons 22 21 the eagles had the game but they lost it in the last two what two minutes less than two minutes. Congratulations to the Falcons. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning. Good morning. I was going to say, where's Charlamagne? He's not there?

Look, I know he's overhearing from President Biden, but he's still our commander-in-chief. If he speaks, I'm going to report on it. With that said, President Biden says there's no place for political violence in America after there was an alleged attempt or another alleged attempt rather on former President Trump's life. Now, speaking at the National HBCU Week Conference in Philadelphia, Biden said America has suffered too many times from violence against political leaders and it does nothing but creates more problems. Let's hear those comments from President Biden. Let me just say there is no and I mean this from the bottom of those, you know, we many

of you do no place in political violence for political violence in America. None, zero, never. I've always condemned political violence, always will in America. In America, we resolve our difference peacefully. The battle box, not at the end of a gun. America suffered too many times the tragedy of an assassin's bullet. It solves nothing and just tears the country apart. We must do everything we can to prevent it and never give it any oxygen. So meanwhile, we are learning more about the alleged suspect in the attempted assassination and the details surrounding the event. Speaking from Palm Beach County, Florida, where the event occurred or excuse me, the incident occurred.

Acting Service Director Ronald Rowe said the suspect, Ryan Ruth, did not get off any shots. And he praised former presidents, the former president's detail for their swift actions. Let's hear those comments from acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe. Yesterday was an off-the-record movement, off the record. And the president wasn't even really supposed to go there. It was not on his official schedule. And so we put together a security plan, and that security plan worked. We need to get out of a reactive model and get to a readiness model.

There could be another geopolitical event that could put the United States into a kinetic conflict or some other issue that may result in additional responsibilities and protectees of the United States Secret Service. And I just want to say that the commitment of Congress to the Secret Service throughout the years has been tremendous. And we will continue to work with them and Secretary Mayorkas. Yeah, that wasn't on the schedule, but everybody said that that's what he usually does. They said when he's off Sunday, he goes to his golf course and he plays golf in the morning and he has lunch in the afternoon. They said that is his schedule, even though it's not on his official schedule. So people did know that.

Right. And Mayorkas, by the way, is the secretary of Homeland Security, for those who do not know. So 58 year old Ryan West Wesley Ruth, he does face two federal charges, one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and one count of a possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial tag. Now, whether or not those charges will stick remains to be determined. Former FBI special agent and current Palm Beach County defense attorney Stuart Kaplan, he says it's possible the suspect may not be charged with federal crimes because he never

got off any shots and he was never actually seen pointing the gun at former President Trump. So I will continue to keep you updated on those. Those two charges do carry a combined maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a possible fine of five hundred thousand dollars. So, again, I'll keep you posted on that. Meanwhile, Trump, he's he's jumping in on all of this responding. He's blaming the rhetoric of President Biden and Vice President Harris for the apparent second assassination attempt on him. Trump talked about the incident a day after the man was taken into custody

after authorities said he attempted to target Trump while playing golf. He said, Ruth believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it. Now, Trump noted previous comments from Biden and Harris that described Trump to be a threat to democracy,

and he called on Democrats to watch what they say leading up to November's election, quoting, they use highly inflammatory language. I can use it too. Far better than they can, but I don't. Far better, much better. Better than anybody you've ever seen.

But yeah, Vice President Kamala Harris, she actually stepped in and spoke through the White House saying that she is deeply disturbed by the possible assassination attempt of former President Trump and that she condemns political violence. So we will continue to watch this situation for you. And yeah, I'll let you know what's going on as details arise. Yeah, that rhetoric is a rhetoric that he actually spits. All that is done because of the things that he said. But let me ask you a question. What is the National HBCU Conference? I've never heard of that.

And what happens at that conference? I'm just curious. So the National HBCU Week Conference, I was going to say it's where, you know, the leaders, they gather in and whether it be HBCU leaders, presidents from various universities, they come in and converge. And they also meet with the administration on how to, you know, all the $7 billion that they got. Yeah. Yeah. Figure out where all of that stuff kind of goes and more.

So I believe they had some of that last year. I attended an event at the White House for that last year. And I also sat on a call yesterday. I have to go through that call. But yeah, I believe those efforts will continue and I will continue to talk to you guys about that as well. Alright, thank you Margo. We'll see you next hour. Sure.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Man, this is the priest from Omaha, Nebraska. What up, Breakfast Club?

What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. I'm trying to get it off my chest, so I'm a businessman. I run an electrical business called Black Power Redevelopers. I hired an assistant to help me with estimating invoices and whatever else I need help with. But the community is giving me an issue because my assistant rides with me every day in the truck, and she's a female. So my question is, you have an assistant, DJ Envy. Is it okay for your assistant to book flights with you, go to business events. We're planning to go to the mental health awareness for Charlemagne.

And a few more friends are giving me an issue about it. This time I'm getting too close to my assistant. So I'm trying to get your thoughts. My assistant does everything for me and with me. I mean, she watches the kids sometimes for me. She books my flights. She books my hotel rooms. She'll drive me places.

She is my right hand and my left hand when it comes to the world out there. Without my assistant Mercedes, things would be tough. So my wife doesn't have a problem with my assistant Mercedes. She actually was the one that told me to hire her. And it was probably one of the greatest business decisions that I've ever made. So as far as having a female assistant, as long as it's business and y'all both cool with the business, I don't have a problem with it. Matter of fact,

I'm about to call my assistant right now and wake her ass up and tell her to get her ass to the gym. Man, see, that's what I'm talking about. Moving like a straight box. What about you,

Olga Charlotte? He's not in here yet, but this is Lauren. Hey, come on in. I had a question though, like, but where does, where does the,

where does the, like the hesitation from your female friends come from? Like, is there, like, what's the issue?

I think, I think so, more so the issue, they say we're, like, just super close on social media. You know what I mean? We just trying to get it out there. And they're not comfortable with seeing a man and a female actually work and grind and take care of business. She bought me tickets to the Husker game a couple weeks ago when they paid Colorado for my birthday. And everybody's just like, you can't be doing those type of things with her and she's your assistant if she's a business assistant.

I'm like, dang, it was just a gift. Nah, I mean, I don't understand. As long as there's no quote-unquote relationship, romantic relationship, I don't have a problem. Even this weekend, I was in Vegas and my sister got me tickets to the fight. She does what she wants to do. And I'm a. Like, that's, you know, she does what she's supposed to do.

And I'm a single man, so I guess they make it, I guess it's even worse. From what I was understanding, it's me being single, and she being my sister and other girls liking me is kind of like some jealousy. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't tripping. As long as there's no romance involved, I wouldn't care. I mean, who cares what other people think? You care about your business and making sure that your life is less stressful. That's all you got to worry about.

Everybody else can really be the D. We get into the money. Black Power redevelopers, make sure y'all go follow it on IG and check us out for real. If that's making his business feel better, they should want that. Like I said, I'm always with my sister.

Nobody gave no money. My sister got a boyfriend So her boyfriend be there too Like We don't pay that no mind Hello Who's this? Yo

Jess don't do no lying. She don't scare nobody. Worldwide jest. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a culture shoot. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back.

And I got the mess. Talk to me. Okay, guys. So last night, September 16th, Diddy was taken into custody in New York. He was taken into federal custody in New York. Now, reports state that he was taken into custody inside of his hotel lobby. That I have not confirmed, like the actual location of where he was

taken into custody, but I have confirmed that he was taken into custody. Now, I reached out to Diddy's team, but I also reached out to the feds. So, the Southern District of New York is who is handling this case and this indictment. In the statement that they issued, they said

earlier this evening, federal agents arrested Sean Combs based on a sealed indictment filed by the Southern District of New York. We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning, this morning, and we'll have more to say at that time. Now, in addition, so this statement kind of painted a

little bit of a picture like it number one it confirmed that he had been arrested not because you can say taken into custody and the normal person will have a question like does that mean he was arrested is he just been taken in because they have some questions like what's happening so the fact that they confirmed he was arrested means that they are going to move forward with something he probably turned himself in that's why that why you didn't see no pictures of him doing that uh yeah so i was i'm on my way to that so they use the term arrested which is that elevates it all the way and then um there were there were reports that came out that diddy had been in new york for this past week because he was supposed to arrange to turn himself in um that according to reports

was supposed to happen happen tuesday so that was supposed to actually happen turn himself in. That, according to reports, was supposed to happen Tuesday. So that was supposed to actually happen today. But there are reports that something happened. Law enforcement actually told TMZ that something happened that made them expedite and come a day sooner. So I don't know what that something was. I've been asking that question for a very long time, but I was told that basically there'll be more information this morning once everything was unsealed.

I did reach out to Diddy's team and his attorney sent me a statement. He said, we are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. attorney's office. Sean Diddy Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation, and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts.

These are the facts of an innocent man with nothing to hide i'm sorry these are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide and he looks forward to clearing his name in court now this statement told me a lot first of all the fact that they started with we are disappointed that said to me that there was some sort of conversation over these last weeks two weeks long, between Diddy's legal team and the prosecutor's office and whatever that. 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.

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.

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans,

I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change.

I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us. It's maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hey, I'm Gianna Pardenti. And I'm Jimei Jackson-Gadsden.

We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, the early career podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts. One of the most exciting things about having your first real job is that first real paycheck. You're probably thinking, yay, I can finally buy a new phone. But you also have a lot of questions like, yay, I can finally buy a new phone. But you also have a lot of questions like, how should I be investing this money? I mean, how much do I save? And what about my 401k? Well, we're talking with finance expert Vivian Toot, aka Your Rich BFF, to break it all down. I always get roasted on the internet when I say this out loud, but I'm like, every single year you need to be asking for a raise of somewhere

between 10 to 15%. I'm not saying you're going to get 15% every single year, but if you ask for 10 to 15 and you end up getting eight, that is actually a true raise. Listen to this week's episode of Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Arrangement was, right? Because if you think back to like even Harvey Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein turned himself in and we had known in the news what day he was turning himself in.

So this statement from Diddy's attorney leads me to believe that whatever that agreement was, it wasn't honored. But again, there are reports that Diddy was supposed to be allowed to turn himself in on Tuesday, but the feds moved in early. Yeah, if he got arrested in a hotel lobby, I feel like there'd be pictures and video. Yeah, I mean, I haven't confirmed the hotel on Tuesday, but the feds moved in early. Yeah, if he got arrested in a hotel lobby, I feel like there'd be

pictures and video. Yeah, I mean, I haven't confirmed the hotel lobby thing, but there are no photos, there are no videos, but those reports are out there. But to back up those reports,

there is a confirmed source, police source, that told TMZ that they did actually move in early. Now, another thing that was telling in this statement to me

was the fact that they're painting this character picture of him. It's like Diddy, who is the loving father, this man in the black community, all that stuff. And if you think about the last week or two, we've seen Diddy out in New York. We didn't know why he was here, but we've seen him out in New York. What do we see him doing? He's smiling.

He's taking photos with fans. He's throwing up the L for love. I know I think it was yesterday or the day before he was out at Melba's with the whole family. They're standing outside doing family photos. So to me, if I'm looking at this, I'm like, you know, if you're someone who knows that this is coming, this all goes to you when you want to keep up the character. You want people to see you in this light. And his attorney is doubling down on that. But I think them asking for people to reserve judgment is because, of course, you know, Diddy's taken into custody by the feds. After everything that has happened, you instantly jump to assume, oh to assume oh he did it well people well let's be clear people

cast judgment after people saw that video a hundred percent like come on yeah a hundred percent you can't tell people to reserve judgment after they done seen a video like that they're going to judge well i see something they said they have over 10 uh 10 witnesses and they're going to be uh unsealing this thing this morning so yes we saw a video also too but what we have in the in the indictment that they're unsealing what are they saying is in it i read something in the new york times yesterday so there um i don't have specific details yet because it's not unsealed but what it's going to uncover is more information in relation to sex trafficking and what was it sex trafficking and what's the second one racketeering racketeering Racketeering. Now, anytime you hear RICO,

whether it's a drug case, it's something related to trafficking or whatever, it's normally, law enforcement is trying to say that there's a big community or conglomerate of organized crime

of some sort. So when you say racketeering, That is the R in RICO. Yes, basically, what that is yelling is that they are trying to put Diddy in this position

of all of this illegal criminal activity. He has been the driving force and the commander and director of it um is what I think that we're going to hear but what's going to be really telling once this information is unsealed and you know I'm hoping I can get this before we're done this show if not we'll have it up on brown guard grinding and then we'll bring it back here um the following morning but the evidence where we should soon get a look into what they found when they ran into these houses, the people that they've been talking to. You know, it's been reports that Cassie has been cooperating with the federal case. And all of this is over a matter of seven or eight months.

The first accusation from Cassie was November 16th. We're now in September. Since then, he stepped away from Revol as chairman. When did they do the raids of the houses? The raids of the houses. So on March 26th, they ran into the Miami home. And on on march 26th they ran into the miami home and on march 28th they ran into the la home in april the reports came out that cassie was working with this federal case whatever this case may be um in may there was i'm sorry may 19th did he came out

and apologized may 29th uh there were reports of the federal grand jury being convened which means they got these people together to look at whatever it is that they thought they found to see if they had enough to bring charges. August, there was another accuser who came out, the girl that was talking about that. He allegedly did whatever to her when she flew out to his all white party. And then September, Don Richards,

the a hundred million dollar lawsuit. And I don't know who of these people or what is actually being considered, but that's a lot in these last couple of months. So we, you know, we'll stay locked to kind of see what's coming up. Yeah, racketeering and sex trafficking. If he gets racketeering and sex trafficking for freak offs,

there will be others involved. Yes. Like if you ever ran a train with Diddy, you're probably going to jail. Yeah, that's what a lot of people were saying that, you know, that's possibly on those cameras because he had cameras in the crib. So people are thinking that maybe there'll be other people involved. If you ever been butt naked anywhere with Diddy or half butt naked with Diddy and there was some women around

or some men around that he told you were part of the party party you're probably going to jail. Half butt naked is insane. Alright. If you possibly on any of those tapes like Envy just said

that they seized from that house that's right you're probably going to jail when they start throwing that word racketeering around. But we'll see what happens. Hell, if you walked in a room and saw Diddy in there

smashing Carl Winslow, allegedly. What? If Diddy flew Carl out, you might be going to jail. Can we? Okay. Why you got Carl out there like that? We going. We going.

Call Carl. We'll be back with more, guys. I'm just saying that. Racketeering ain't no joke. For Carl. Pack it up for Carl. All right. When we come back, we got front page news.

And then EVE will be joining us. EVE will be in the building. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hold up. Every day I wake up. Wake your ass up. The Breakfast Club. will be joining us. E.E. will be in the building, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hold up. Every day I wake up. Wake your ass up.

The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now let's get in some front page news. Lauren LaRosa's filling in for Jess. Some quick football scores if you're just waking up. If you're an Eagles fan, well, you lost.

That's right. The Falcons beat the Eagles 22-21. And we got to congratulate aja wilson uh she scored a thousand points in a season the first wmba player to do that so congratulations to her now where we starting off with morgan listen there is drama within the republican party right now after far-right activist laura loomer posted racist comments on social media saying that the white house will smell like curry if Kamala Harris wins. Now, during an interview with Meet the Press Republican VP nominee J.D. Vance, he said he did not like the comments, but he further made comments of his own.

Let's hear those comments from J.D. Vance. I think what Laura said about Kamala Harris is not what we should be focused on. We should be focused on the policy and on the issues. And look, so yeah, do I agree with what Laura Loomer said about Kamala Harris? No, I don't. I also don't think that this is actually an issue of national import. Is Laura Loomer running for president? No.

Kamala Harris is running for president. And whether you're eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies. Let's talk about the person running for president of the United States, not a social media personality who supports Donald Trump. Excuse me, fried chicken? Oh, okay. That is crazy. Like the racism is just so blatant, just so in your face.

Right, you're trying to clean it up and you're making more of a mess. So I think it's important. Also note that J.D. Vance is married to an Indian American woman, Usha Vance, whose parents migrated from India to the U.S. He also said prior to those comments that he makes a mean chicken curry. But I doubt that because it's supposed to be curry chicken. I'm not going to get too much into that. But some Republicans are condemning Donald Trump's association with Laura Loomer. So they're fighting back against those comments that she made. And that list actually includes Senators Tom Tillis and Lindsey Graham and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. Imagine MTG entering the chat calling someone racist. But that's exactly what she did.

She said Laura Loomer's comments were rhetoric and a hateful tone. And she called her problematic, someone who and someone who doesn't represent MAGA as a whole. So there seems to be some trouble within the paradise of the GOP party. And what's wrong with curry chicken? I love curry chicken. They never want no curry chicken. I ain't eating no curry chicken from that man. Oh, no, not him. But, you know, if Kamala's making it, I might pull up for sure.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Speaking of which, switching gears, we have less than 50 days until the 2024 presidential election. So, for one, I hope you are registered to vote. Secondly, the chief of the United States Postal Service says he's fully committed to ensuring the timely delivery of ballots in this year's election. U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy responded on Monday to concerns raised last week about three dozen election officials from the National Association of State Election Directors. The group questioned the USPS's ability to deliver millions of ballots, citing concerns about processing facility operations and frontline training deficiencies.

Now, DeJoy says he plans to hold a call with state officials to speak to their concerns. The USPS is currently delivering mail in just over two and a half days, but is urging voters to mail their ballots at least one week before their state's deadline. And if you need that, vote.gov is a great reference on just voting reference. If you need resources in regards to, you know, ballots and how to access them state by state, vote.gov. So, yeah. In other news, the murder trial of three former Memphis police officers who are accused in the beating death of Tyree Nichols entered its second week yesterday. A Shelby County judge on Friday agreed to allow response to resistance forms filled out by the officers to be introduced as evidence after an attempt by defense attorneys to have them suppressed. Now, former Memphis police officers Tadarius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith are on trial for the beating death of Nichols during a traffic stop back in 2023. Former officers Desmond Mills and Emmett Martin are expected to testify in the case after they have already accepted plea deals.

Now, didn't one of the officers say he wasn't a threat when he was snatched from the car? Yes, he did. Yes, he did. So, yeah, yeah, this is this is. And trust me, all of that was probably surfaced within this this trial. And in my last story, sports related news, U.S. gymnast Jordan Childs, she's appealing the decision that left her stripped of a bronze medal in the Paris Olympics. Now, Childs lost out on bronze in the women's gymnastics floor routine when Romanian team challenged the decision to to revise her final score. Now, the Court of Arbitration for Sport sided with the Romanians, giving them

the gymnast medal. Child's attorney said on Monday that everything about the court's decision was unfair and that the court refused to consider video evidence that the initial revision was requested in time. So, continue the fight, Jordan Childs. We see you, girl.

And, yeah, bring that bronze back home. All right. Well, that was front page news. Yes, that is your front page news. Follow me on socials at Morgan Media. And for more news coverage, make sure you're following the Black Information Network and BINnews.com. Thank y'all. Thank you, Morgan. All right.

When we come back, Eve will be joining us. We're going to kick it with Eve. Her new memoir, Who's That Girl, is out right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Jess is out on maternity leave. So we have Lauren La Rosa filling in. And we got a special guest in the building. The legendary. Her book is out right now who's that girl eve ladies and gentlemen what's up morning y'all welcome good morning how you feel how you feel i feel good happy to be here you got the memoir out man who's that girl one thing you

tell folks right out the gate is how much you initially hated the name eve could you explain that for the people who haven't read the book yet? Yes because I thought I was cursed because I grew up Jehovah's Witness my grandmother was Jehovah's Witness and religious and Eve was the one who made the evil happen in the world she gave the apple to Adam so I actually literally for years thought that I was cursed having that name. You know I grew up Jehovah's Witness too but you're the first person that ever made me look at that from that perspective because most people just say Eve was the first lady lady yeah yeah no i felt like well damn she's she's responsible for evil like because people used to say to me when i was a kid like you oh you

you gave adam gave adam the apple like literally and i'm like that's crazy why would you say that to a kid also like yes like i don't know him but yeah no i really did think i was cursed but then you really love your name yes eve j, because you found out what it meant. Yes, Jahan means universe. Eve means first lady. And my mom was obsessed with Shah Jahan that built the Taj Mahal. And she changed a letter. And then I was like, wow, Eve Jahan.

That's a big deal. And yeah, I love my name now. First lady of the universe. First lady of the universe. What point in your life was that switch from I hate it to now I'm embracing it? Like how old were you? I was, that was like, honestly, even thirties, late twenties, thirties. Cause I was still in, I don't know.

I was such a tormented person within myself. Um, it took a while. It was years also that I just didn't trust myself. And I talk about in the book, like with drinking and stuff, I just didn't trust myself. So it took a, it took a while. How was rel was reliving all these memories right because a lot of these stories i feel naked you gave it up no you gave it up you talked about a lot in this book i talk about a lot in this book i definitely we reread stuff i definitely was like do i really want to put this stuff out here but i was like i think it's important i think it's important for myself i think it's important for my kid i don't want to bring any of my shit onto my kid but and

it's so cheesy to say but you know it's just what's that saying what you reveal you can heal yeah what you don't heal you can't reveal yes exactly and it's like i just feel like i need to shed some of that and yeah what was the most difficult thing to write in the book? What was the hardest part? The hardest? I think being really vulnerable, vulnerable about my drinking for real, because I talked about it when I was on the talk. I talked about it. Yes, I had an issue, but I don't even think I actually admitted it to myself.

Also, the fact that I had I had this eptopic pregnancy when I was on my sitcom that I never told anybody about. And I actually did not even recognize it until I was ready to get pregnant with my kid. So I never even dealt with it at all. So that was really hard. What made you deal with it now? You felt like there's other women probably dealing with it? 100%. 100% and the frustration of being a woman.

And I talked about this the last time when I was here with the crew of Queens. And we talked about, well, I mentioned about endometriosis and having fibroids and shit like that. And how doctors just don't listen to you. And having to go get a specialist to find out that I had that. And I think it's just important. There's so many women that are suffering with infertility. And definitely lots of black women lots of my friends are still suffering so yeah i think it's just important i know that was back in 2006 yeah

and i've actually been through that oh wow yeah so when i when i heard you talk about it in the book i was like oh shoot because it's it's like it just happens like you don't even know what happens yep after that happened when you were looking to have your baby that you have now. Yeah. Were you a bit nervous about like if it would work out? Would you be safe during the pregnancy? Like what were your thoughts? I was so nervous. I was so anxious. And I'm an anxiety written person, which is why I drink and smoke so much weed to try to chill myself out. I was so anxious. I was so nervous. And I talk about in the book how i was like anxiety master level when i was pregnant on the set of queens because i was like here it is okay i'm working which is great

and i'm so grateful and blessed but is it to the detriment of my kid like am i gonna lose this baby like i was literally going to the doctor trying to hear the heartbeat just so i could feel calm on set so yeah i was scared i was really. You know, it's crazy when you're younger and you don't know what anxiety and I guess, you know, depression is. Yeah. We all have those coping mechanisms because they're all around. So whether it's in the lifestyle, in the hood, just growing up, you see family members drinking. And then I know hip hop didn't help. Oh, yeah.

No, hell no. No, have another drink. Smoke some more. Oh, yeah. Smoke some more. Oh, you crying? It's fine. Have a drink.

Like, no. Hell no. Because everybody was doing it. Also, nobody was using these words. Nobody was talking about anxiety. Nobody was talking about mental health. Nobody was talking about depression? It's fine. Have a drink. Like, no, hell no. Because everybody was doing it. Also, nobody was using these words. Nobody was talking about anxiety. Nobody was talking about mental health. Nobody was talking about depression. That's right.

Like, literally, it was just like, all right, well, you'll be all right. You'll be all right. You'll be all right. Like, it was what it was. It was what it was. When did you realize you had a problem? Like, you just, like, what made you say you had a problem? Honestly, my DUI.

My DUI was the time that, and not even just the moment of the DUI. It was when I couldn't drink. So I had 56 days where I couldn't drink. And I was so scared of that 56 days because I couldn't remember a time where I hadn't drank. So I even begged my lawyer at the time, like, can I go do community service at a hospice? Can I go like, I'll do anything. And she was like, no, this is what you have to do. And I say this in the book. It saved my life because it was the first time in a very long. Actually, not even a very long time. It was the first time I ever sat with my fucking emotions.

Like actual, why am I drinking? What am I trying to cover up? Why am I trying to numb myself? What is the problem? And I had to sit with my shit. And I cried a lot. And I needed it. I needed it.

At that time, were we friends, family, associates? So my other issue is that I push people away and that's another thing that I realized is emotionally um I didn't grow up in a family that really talked we didn't say I love you we didn't say I hate you if it was bad we screamed also you just knew you were loved so I really just didn't know about I didn't know communication and i always felt like my mom had me young so i feel like we grew up together so i always felt like i needed to be independent she raised me very independent fiercely independent so i think i was just like i need to deal with the on my own plus i'm a scorpio like i think it has a lot to do with that like i don't know so

how are you as a parent now because i think my parents probably charlamagne's parents those older parents were always they never really show much love. They never said, I love you. You knew it was there. And you're from Philly, too. And I'm from Philly. Feisty Philly. Like, listen, you better just get on with it. So how were you as a mom?

I'm a smother mother. I am a smother. I'm like, give me a kiss. And he's already like, mama, get off me. And I was actually scared that I wouldn't connect. I swear to God. I was like, and my sister-in-law told me that too she has three kids and she was like don't feel weird because

some women sometimes just don't connect immediately and I just thought possibly because of the way I grew up maybe I won't be you know I'm saying and it makes me emotionally because like so it's just it's a freedom so nice and i'm just gonna he's gonna be spoiled he's probably gonna get away with a lot of but are you raising him out of fear or love oh now that is a good question love for sure love but i tackle with fear i tackle with fear so yeah but you want him to be in a position where he really calls mom regardless of anything. You know, because even growing up, you'd call your parents when you had to. Had to. But now my son, he's about to be 21.

He calls his mom for everything. And I love their relationship. Because I know that if something happens, mom got his back. That's real. I do. I couldn't talk to my mom about it. And it's not her fault. Me and my mom now are like, it's not her fault.

It's how she grew up. I was scared of my mother, which is fine. I think a little fear is important. But she was probably scared for you growing up on murder street,

right? So that's why I ask, are you raising them out of fear or love? Because our parents raised us out of fear because they didn't want us to end up in bad situations.

100%. Or end up like them, like my dad. 100%. 100%. Alright, we got more with Eve. When we come back,

don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Laura LaRosa's filling in for Jess. We're still kicking it with Eve. Charlamagne. Another good part in the book is unbeknownst to Jay-Z, he put a battery in your back. Yeah.

Early. Yes. Yes. It's funny because that was one of those things that we were like, do we put this in there? Because I know how people get, but there's funny because um that was one of those things that we were like do we put this in there because i know how people get but it's nothing bad about that um you know it's it's one

of those things where it was a very amazing phone call that i needed that was one of those i always felt like i was the underdog anyway and he wasn't saying it out of malice or mean that wasn't about that it was fact really it felt like he was trying to temper your expectations. Yes, exactly. But I was like, eh, okay, let me see. I'm going to show you. Yeah, it's all good. It's all good.

And it went on to be fine. And like I say in the book, we all have that person, that something, no matter what industry or whatever. You know what I'm saying? We all have that thing

or someone says something that they don't even know that you're like okay i'm gonna use that no problem one of the dopest things i love is is you talk about your big brothers in the industry right because you don't really hear that that much yeah and how rough riders and all them you know kind of was your big brothers to make sure they protected you talk about that a little bit because in this industry you hear so many crazy stories but yeah they were showing up with knives guns and everything they needed to make sure you were safe listen i was so protected i'm i'm so forever grateful as well that rough riders is

the crew that i come from they respected me protected me celebrated me a lot 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.

Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare. You know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better.

At night I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hey, I'm Gianna Pardenti. And I'm Jemay Jackson-Gadsden. We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, the early career podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts. One of the most exciting things about having your first real job is that first real paycheck. You're probably thinking,

yay, I can finally buy a new phone. But you also have a lot of questions, like how should I be investing this money? I mean, how much do I save? And what about my 401k? Well, we're talking with finance expert Vivian Tu, aka Your Rich BFF, to break it all down. I always get roasted on the internet when I say this out loud, but I'm like,

every single year you need to be asking for a raise of somewhere between 10 to 15%. I'm not saying you're going to get 15% every single year, but if you ask for 10 to 15 and you end up getting eight, that is actually a true raise. Listen to this week's episode of Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That was one of the things I was wondering about. That's why I was so excited to meet you. I was like, I wonder how Philly she's still going to be. No, Philly, I never, that can never go. That can never, ever go. I do say words now and then.

I will say. My manager's there. He's from London. I will say. Because for my baby, I try to keep consistent. So I do say rubbish sometimes. And I do say jumper. But Philly is always, always.

You can't take it out of me. You can't take it out of me. Your baby's a bit older now. I know I saw you talk about exposing your husband to, like, Eve from Philly, like, whatever. How do you, like, are you having those conversations with your baby yet? Is he back and forth? Like, are you doing that exposure? Yes.

No, he comes back and forth to Philly. We'll be there in a few days. He was just there a few months ago playing with his cousins. Like, and I love that Because it's a different vibe And I love that And I feel like he needs that And it's going to be such a rich childhood for him Because England is so different

Does he have an accent? Yes, he does He says garage Garage He says garage Wait till he says John Wait, I need to start teaching him that now You know, in the Things Fall Apart chapter You said that you feel like John. Wait, I need to start teaching that now.

You know, in the Things Fall Apart chapter, you said that you feel like the spirit of the Rough Riders died with DMX, God Bless the Dead. Yes. When that RR chapter of your life closed, did you feel a sense of grief with that as well? Yes and no. Yes, in the sense of obviously with X, because of X, 100%. But no, in the sense that we've all kind of gone off and been doing our own shit for so long in between all of that. Because, you know, before he died, may he rest, we were supposed to do a Rough Riders tour. We have been talking about a Rough Riders tour. So yes and no. Now, the TV show Eve.

Yes. The name of the show was Eve. Yeah. But your character's name was Shelly. I know. Why? That's what the

network wanted and then they was like, oh, like the Cosby's where it was, they were the Huxtables but his name was Cosby so everybody knew the show.

Trust me, I tried to fight them on that. I never thought about that. I tried to fight them. That's another part of your life I feel like doesn't get talked about enough.

You had a sitcom. Literally. You know what I mean? That did well. Yeah, that did well. I was very, very lucky. It did well. And I didn't take it as seriously as I feel like I should have or could have.

And I talk about that in the book. I don't believe in regrets, but probably that's my only one of my only ones where I just didn't take it as seriously as I could have. What would you have done different? I would have shown up to table reads not coming straight from the club. I would not be having after parties in my dressing room.

I was doing, yeah. But I was the youngest on set and I was trying to figure out how... You were a real rapper. I was a real rapper. That's a real rapper style. Like, literally.

Like, I was having after parties. We'd come from the club go to my dressing room and then i'm like damn i gotta be on set like not realizing like how many people how many the crew you know what i'm saying like so i just i really would have done that different yes i'm gonna ask about you know the cat woman comment right oh god like people forget who you are and all the things that you did i've been working for a long long time what does that what does that come from like i don't know i'm like do y'all know even the work that you did? I've been working for a long, long time. Where does that come from? I don't know. I'm like, do y'all know Eve and the work that she put in?

And I have been working. There is nothing wrong. She's not one of them. Listen, if you can do it, if you can get great, God bless you, if that's what you want and that's who you are, I have zero, personally, I have zero problems with it. I think it's a disservice to who I am and what I've done and what I've built for myself. That's why I have a problem with it. Like, yeah's a disservice to who I am and what I've done and what I've built for myself.

That's why I have a problem with it. Like, yeah, okay, yeah, I married this dude. I'm not going to marry a broke dude. That's real. But he's not. I think people also have put on him more than what he is. And he's not that. We do stuff for each other together.

It's my first one I haven't done in 10 years. Wow. And that in Asia, so hi, baby.

Do you write raps at all? I write poems more. I went back to that because that's where I kind of first started. That being said, we are talking about, because this book also falls around the 25th anniversary of my first album. Oh, wow. So, yes, Let There Be Eve. So, we are talking about reworking stuff to put it out next year so there will be some new stuff next year if you rework stuff or like do anything music wise would you add any of the new girl artists i definitely want to i definitely want to we're still talking

about it top three go-to's oh yeah i don't know that's hard i ain't even gonna lie because we've been talking about it because ultimately i I don't want to do anything that looks like I'm just jumping on some shit just to jump on it. I feel like it needs to be, it has to be organic and right for those records. So we're still figuring it out.

I always wanted to know what the thought process was back then because when you came out, I'm just thinking about it. You wasn't in a single box, right? Yeah. You did the sexy rap at times. Yeah. But then you did the women empowerment rap. I don't box, right? Yeah. You did the sexy rap at times. Yeah.

But then you did the women empowerment rap. I don't even remember even doing sexy rap. She just was a flying chick. No, but I think the demeanor was sexy though.

Yeah. It was very much like, yeah, I don't think, yeah, lyrically, I don't think I really went there. But when it came to maybe like,

yeah, style. She didn't have to force it. It was, yeah, it wasn't forced. When you did Love is Blind, was the label behind it or they was like, this is totally from what's out now? I was shocked that have to force it. It was a force. When you did Love Is Blind, was the label behind it or they was

like, this is totally from what's out now? I was shocked that they were behind it. I was actually really shocked. Especially that early in my career with Rough Riders. But they were completely behind it. I think once I added the third verse where I also popped them. It killed them in the end.

I think that was fine. Yeah, they were totally behind it. Yeah. Well, we I know you said earlier that you guys have been talking about a reunion before DMX passed. Would you or would y'all consider doing something like that now without him being here? You feel like it couldn't be done without him? I don't know. I would leave that up to DMY to figure out.

I think that would be up to them. And if they want to bring us together, I'll always be there, of course. Yeah. But I think it's more up to them and if they want to bring us together i'll always be there of course yeah but i think it's more up to them to figure it out yeah you know in the hollywood chapter you talk about going to the church of scientology yeah could you explain to the people what the hell made you do that because i got invited by somebody who i was like a rap legend a rap yes that I was like well if you're going I just need to see plus I'm very much Bart Simpson

like I'm very much I will touch the fire just to make sure it's fire and I when the hell else am I gonna get into the celebrity

Scientology Center I was scared the whole time I was in there I did not eat the food that was like they were gonna brainwash me

yes and brainwash me you gotta break it down when you walked in what was it they need to go by the book it it was crazy who was the i don't want to say because i don't even know if she's i don't want to out nobody if because i don't even know she's still doing it so only for those reasons chav that was crazy and i was hung over that was the other thing i remember that that's why i was so stressed but it was very weird you definitely gotta read that chapter so you walk in and is there like access codes or like what no but there's

people with you there's like people everywhere in every like there are people everywhere watching everything and there are special people to walk you to it was they all wear the same thing like it was crazy you know what i wanted to ask you in the the evil destruction chapter, you talk about your time with Aftermath. Yeah. You know, when you got dropped from the label, Dre didn't even bother to call you. How was it when things came full circle, you done blew up,

and y'all ended up doing Let Me Blow Your Mind? Did y'all even, did you bring that up to him? Like, you know you ain't even called me when you... No, I didn't even need to. I remember before we even did Blow Your Mind, we did the Source Awards. And I was like,

yeah, I'm on the same stage as you with the rough riders like so it went from that to jimmy being like y'all need to get back in the studio do a song and it was kind of just me being so extra extra philly like yeah okay well let me hit a beat let me hit like so extra like so we never ever discussed it but we also knew listen dre is one the greatest like right so I knew he was gonna get it out of me I just I made it hard word the book is out right now who's that girl who's that girl I appreciate you for joining thank you for having me I got one final question about who's that girl yes who who were you at the start of this book yeah and who would you say you

are oh that's a good question um at the start i definitely tried to write it like an interview and kathy actually checked me on that because she was like look i don't want to take you back to trauma but you need to emote for people to understand where you're coming from so i think i was slightly guarded and then as i went through it and i'm getting i don't know i'm getting emotional it's okay first time somebody asked me this question I just feel like all that that I had on like one of my healers used to call it an invisible backpack of other people's listen my life's been great this is this is not a book about being like this is not a book this is a book about me realizing how as much as i say i was in this personal turmoil turmoil turmoil yes turmoil um how determined i was to believe in myself to get to a certain place and that at the end of the book

i was like damn i'm proud of myself though yeah all right who's that girl in memoir out right now thank you for joining us thank you i did not expect tears To on like at all But thank you for having me I'm glad you didn't focus We ain't got no tissue I was looking I was looking You ain't even tried You ain't even tried

Alright It's the Breakfast Club It's Eve Morning everybody We are the Breakfast Club Let's get to Jess With the mess with Lauren LaRosa. News is real.

Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lie. Jess don't do no lie. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On the Breakfast Club. She's a coach and she's with Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the the man talk to me

so jesse collins who is um he helps produce the super bowl he produces major award shows for anybody that does not know him and his work um he's actually producer over the 2025 super bowl that will be coming um and he sat down and did an interview with uh variety and in the interview um they talked about a bunch of different stuff but they did ask him about the decision to choose little wayne over um kendrick lamar i'm sorry to choose kendrick lamar over little wayne now he responded with a few quotes that are going viral now right now because he basically pinned that decision totally on jay-z and you know there's been a conversation about if jay-z was responsible for this decision or not and if people should be upset about it or not so in one

quote jesse collins says we love wayne uh when the subject was raised um he said there's always vaguest odds on who's going to get to perform but i think we're going to do an amazing show with kendrick and everybody's going to love the halftime show I know Kendrick works hard to deliver an amazing show and then he went deeper and he said he then he then um said that ultimately Jay-Z is who makes the final call with his rock nation uh with the fact that rock nation serves as a halftime co-producer it's a decision that Jay makes since we've been on board with that show when he says we he's talking about his production company Jay has made it every year the decision of who performs and it's been amazing he's always picked right so this was circulating like crazy because people were like see y'all out here blaming uh i don't know little wayne's work

ethic when really it's jay-z and people have this whole narrative that jay-z hates little wayne and blah blah blah one of the people that was kind of doubling down on this narrative not even kind of but doubled down on this narrative was Nicki Minaj. So when Glock Topics on Twitter retweeted one of the quotes from Jesse Collins saying that Jay-Z picked the people every single year, Nicki Minaj retweeted that with a laughing emoji. And then, you know, she went she's done so much with the rant. So she just a tweet from one of her rants after this uh the previous when she talked about denying a young black man a right to play to put in for this game um because of what he's done prior to uh she's talking about people having hate for birdman drake nikki um so now that they're now they're punishing little wayne uh little wayne is the goat nola was good like y'all

know nikki be going on her rants but basically she was saying that she felt like little wayne was being punished because people have issues with some of his artists and just issues surrounding him so it's falling back on him but he's the goat he should have had the chance to do the new orleans super bowl it's crazy i couldn't even get through that well keep that i would say keep all of that same energy in february when kendrick lamar and dave free put on one of the greatest super bowls we've ever seen not to mention um if jay-z gets all the credit then he gets all the credit for all other other great Super Bowls that we've seen. He gets credit for The Weeknd. He gets credit for Dran Snoop.

He gets credit for Usher. He gets credit for Rihanna, right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, but people could also want their choice and want to know why that wasn't their choice. That's their right to want that. But I'm with, you know, before Roc Nation took over,

do y'all remember the acts that we used to see at the halftime show? Beach Boys. Yes. Okay. Maroon 5. Which I don't have no problem with Maroon 5. Rolling Stones.

Are they alive? Rolling Stones are alive and they're fantastic. Don't be disrespectful. I don't know. I don't listen to that. I'm just asking. I don't know.

So are they asking the same thing about us? I don't know. If I be honest with you, man, you know, it ain't about who don't appreciate things. It's about who does.

Yeah. So keep that same energy in February when Kendrick Lamar puts on one of the greatest Super Bowls we've ever seen. I mean, you know... And let's also be clear too. If the Super Bowl...

And I was one of those people that was saying Lil Wayne and Drake and friends in New Orleans. But it's only because it was in New Orleans. If it wasn't in New Orleans, I wouldn't be thinking about that at all. And I don't know where I got that expectation other than L.A. I got because it was in New Orleans. If it wasn't in New Orleans, I wouldn't be thinking about that at all. And I don't know where I got that expectation

other than L.A. I got the expectation from L.A. Because they gave us Dre and Snoop and the Rams was in the Super Bowl. Usher was Vegas.

Usher because he did the residency in Vegas. Yeah, because he was in Vegas for so long so it felt like that was his home for a minute. That's it.

That's the only reason. It was not like the Super Bowl was in Barbados, y'all. You're right, but they do have the records. They do have the hits too due to Super Bowl.

Yeah, but are we not arguing that? I'm not mad at Kendrick Lamar. It's Kendrick Lamar, guys. I'm not mad at Kendrick Lamar, either. You know who else is not mad about any of this whatsoever? Jay-Z. He ain't tripping.

Never. Like, him and Beyonce be so unbothered. I'm trying to drink whatever tea they drink in the morning. Like, they be so unbothered. He was out in New Jersey. They cut the ribbon for the first Fanatic Sports book at Ocean Casino Resort. Yeah.

Yeah, Atlantic City. Yeah, so he not bothered whatsoever. Smiling, happy, having a great time. People mad at that. They say, why Atlantic City, not Brooklyn? What do you mean? But then if he bring something here, because I heard before people were complaining

when it was the reports that he was bringing something here. He was trying to bring something to Times Square. He's still trying to bring it to Times Square. Pray that Roc Nation gets the casino bid for Times Square, okay?

The streets need that. The streets need that. What? Imagine Friday, we just leave here and go right up the street to the casino. You don't go nowhere.

I would go to that because you know why? Because it's going to be not just a casino. It's going to be probably, it's a hotel. It's going to be a hotel. You'll be there too, Sean. There's going to be food in there. There's going to be restaurants. You casino. It's a hotel. It's going to be a hotel. It's going to be food in there.

It's going to be restaurants. You'll be there for two weeks when it first opens. Why do you sit back like that? Because you know I'm not going to. But that don't mean I wouldn't want to for the city. He'll go. He'll go. Look, call me when you get outside.

I ain't even going to answer the phone. There'll be a back entrance. He'll go right in that back door. I would go for that. In other news. You ain't learned yet, huh? Hold on. Wait.

What happened with the back door? The pandemic is getting unsealed. You better be quiet. Today is not the day to be freaked out. I've never been in a video house. NYPD is tuned in. Today is not the day to be freaked out. I've never been in a video house.

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.

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my face was, quote unquote, normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like this social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure.

Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hey, I'm Gianna Pardenti. And I'm Jimei Jackson-Gadsden. We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, the early career podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts. One of the most exciting things about having your first real job is that first real paycheck. You're probably thinking, yay, I can finally buy a new phone. But you also have a lot of questions like, how should I be investing this money? I mean, how much do I save? And what about my 401k?

Well, we're talking with finance expert Vivian Tu, aka Your Rich BFF, to break it all down. I always get roasted on the internet when I say this out loud, but I'm like, every single year, you need to be asking for a raise of somewhere between 10% to 15%. I'm not saying you're going to get 15% every single year, but if you ask for 10% to 15% and you end up getting 8%, that is actually a true raise. Listen to this week's episode of Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Chopping screwed up.

Damn. Now we're taking it back to the 90s. Let's go. Let's drop one of Kool's Bones for the 90s. Don't drop one of Kool's Bones for that.. Let's drop one of Kool's bombs for that. Do not do that, Ray. Why are you feeding into that? I feel like I was with my daddy just now.

Shout out to my pops. Y'all know I ain't got no words that's not supposed to be used nowhere. I don't even play no type of game. You got me crying now. All right, Lauren. Delaware. Go ahead, Delaware. All right.

Who you giving that dog kiss to? It be really over here nervous. I'm not nervous. I didn't dog i'm not nervous i didn't say that well after the hour uh let's talk about somebody who may or may not have said something we'll decide lauren his name is rich lowry accident and be leave me alone right he's coming to the front of the congregation uh we'd like to have a conversation with him all right it's the breakfast club good morning your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold he gave me donkey of the day and i deserve it you need to know what you need to tell them i am you have the voice tell them it's time for donkey of the day it's a read but you're so good at it you're trying to be a fake ass charlemagne you There's only one Charlemagne to go. Damn, Charlemagne. Who you giving Donkey of the Day to now?

Well, Sexy Red, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, September 17th goes to the editor-in-chief of the National Review, Rich Lowry. Oh, the mayonnaise is heavy with this one. Now, as someone who talks for a living, I understand misspeaking. It happens all the time. Lauren just

did it. I did not say that word. I would never say that word. And don't keep putting that on me. We talk a lot, Lauren. It's OK. All right, Lauren. I talk a lot, you know, from Breakfast Club to Burying Idiots. A lot of nothing.

But I didn't say that word. So defensive. Countless appearances on cable news networks, CNN, MSNBC, Fox. Now you're going to have people going to look for it, Lauren. Whatever it is, whatever it is, I talk a lot. OK, so you're going to slip up and say things you didn't mean to say. You're going to slip up and say things you didn't mean to say, but you were thinking right, Lauren. Okay. One thing, one thing I do, uh, you know, if, if I'm reading something, right, like right before I'm about to talk for whatever reason, I may say what I was just reading, especially if I'm not really paying attention to what is being said around me.

Have you ever been reading something and someone is trying to talk to you at the same time, but you not really paying that person any attention because you so deep into whatever it is you are reading. So then when you realize the person is asking you something, you reply. But it's about what you were reading. It has absolutely nothing to do with what they said to you? I'm the only person that does that? No, I do it all the time. I do it when I'm texting all the time. Okay. I said all that to cover for when I misspeak. But that has nothing to do with Rich Lowry or Lauren. Okay, see, Rich Lowry... Don't put me with that man. You keep trying to put me with all these random... Don't put me with that man.

I don't got nothing to do with that. And I say that word. See, Rich... What word? Any word that you thought. At this point, I'm about to start signing in here so it's clear okay rich lowry was on the megan kelly show and i don't want to tell you what he said because a lot of times the internet tells us what someone said and that's all we hear when we

listen so i'm going to play this clip and i want everyone here at the black mothership aka the breakfast club studios and everyone in their cars, you know, everybody listening on the iHeartRadio app, wherever you're listening. I want you to immediately either say out loud what you heard him say or just hit us on social media and tell me what he said. OK, this is Rich Lowry, editor in chief of the National Review on Megyn Kelly show. And he was talking about J.Dd vance's comments to dana bash dana bash remember jd told dana that the haitian migrants in spring uh jd told dan that the haitian migrants in springfield ohio uh were what did he say i forgot what he said they were eating dogs or something like oh he said that he made it all up basically uh just to bring attention to the story let's listen

you remember alternative facts with kelly ann they did the same thing she wasn't saying you make up fictions and pretend they're facts. You bring other facts to bear in the debate that are being ignored. And that's what he was saying. And I loved, I think it was in that interview where Dana Bash says, you know, the police have gone through 11 months of recordings of calls. And they've only found two Springfield residents calling to complain about Haitian migrants taking geese from ponds. Now he said what he said. Now he said what he said. What did you hear Lauren? He said the n-word. Envy what did you hear? Oh yeah absolutely positively. Red what did you hear the same?

Wow Nick Sid y'all in the room. What you call him? You Haitian n-word. Wow now normally we don't say uh the n-word but for journalistic purposes we have to figure out what he said let's play it again to make sure just isolate it right i just want to hear that part patient nigger wow now we didn't put no sauce on that no seasoning okay just like his mama's food let's chop and screw it red what. What are these? Patient nigger. Whoa. Jesus Christ. Whoa. Whoa. Drop one of Clues' bombs for Rich.

Why you dropping a bomb for him? Take that bomb back, man. Rich may not have meant to say it, but you said it, Rich. Okay? You may not have meant to say it, but you said it. Now, the reason I'm giving you donkey of the day is because your clean up our your cleanup on our nigga game is horrible okay rich said and i quote on x i began to mispronounce the word migrants and caught myself halfway through play it again for me patient nigger now damn there are a lot can we play play it out can

we play the whole clip i just want to hear him because he said he was messed up the word migrants came out of the blue too you remember alternative facts with kelly ann they did the same thing she wasn't saying you you make up fictions and pretend they're facts you you bring other facts to bear in the debate that are being ignored and that's what he was saying and i loved i think it was in that interview where dana bash says you know the police have gone through 11 months of recordings of calls and they've only found two springfield residents calling to complain about haitian nigger migrants taking okay now listen there are a lot of words that can get you to n wordville okay the word migrant ain't one of them all right nickel can

probably get you to n wordville naga can probably get you to n wordWordville. Knicks, maybe if you're saying Knickerbockers. Knickerbockers. Knickerbockers can definitely get you to N-Wordville. Knickerbockers. There you go. See, that's why I get you there. You had no intention of going to N-Wordville, but see, now you're there.

Those get you to the hard R. That's what I'm saying. How do you pronounce that? Knickknack. Knickknack, possibly. Nick-nack, patty-whack, give a block a bone. Those words can get you to N-wordville. But migrants, nah.

And your man who works at the National Review, Andrew McCarthy, he came to your defense as well. His reasoning was even dumber. He said on X, and I'm reading this verbatim, ridiculous. Rich obviously got crossed up between immigrants, short I, and migrants, long I. Started mispronouncing migrants with short I. Instantly corrected himself with no embarrassment because it was patently a mispronunciation. Jeez. You know a white man is frustrated when he says jeez.

Okay? Listen. Andrew, I'll be the first to tell you. I don't know what the hell you was talking about. OK. Immigrant, short eye, migrants, long eyes. Anybody ever heard of that? I've never heard of that. OK. All we heard was the N-word and we were listening for the hard ER. Nothing more, nothing less. Look, you made a mistake, Rich. OK. The N-word was on your mind. I don't know if the N-word being on your mind is racist or not, okay?

I mean, I think of crackers quite often. Cheese, it's my favorite, okay? Rich with some peanut butter, love them. All right, club crackers with shrimp dip, yum-my. And Rich, after what I just saw on Megyn Kelly, I got to say, you make me think of crackers too, okay? Please let Chelsea Handler give Rich Lowry the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw!

Hee-haw! That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. Let Kathy Griffin get in on this, too. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw! Hee-haw! I heard from my cousin Chris Rock in a minute, either. Where Chris Rock at?

Cracker ass cracker! Oh. Hmm. What about my grandma? My girl still work the drive-thru? Cracker. Okay. All right.

Just making sure all my people still here. All right. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Mm-hmm. Is it Nicaragua? How do you pronounce that? I ain't playing no word games with you.

Oh, you better not. I ain't playing no games with you. Say fabletics. Lauren. Fabletics. Okay. Fabletics. Okay. Okay. All right.

Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. We're not going to have time to play it now. We got to play it when we come back. I know, but I just want to say there's been some really great things happening in the culture, right?

Like, you know, and, you know, Kendrick Lamar put out the song called The Party Is Dead. Right. And he saluted a couple people on the song. He saluted our guy, Lecrae. Salute to Lecrae. Drop on the clues, bombs for Lecrae. And he saluted our guy, D1. Shout to D1.

Drop on the clues, bombs for D1. And Lecrae and D1 have both made response records. I don't want to say response records. It's more like baton passing. Yes. Right? Because Kendrick passed them the baton, then they took off. It wasn't a response.

Yes. They both made records. And we should play all of them this morning. Because we can't. Okay. We should play Kendrick the Party of the Dead. Then we should play Lecrae, because he was next. He put up the picture with the all-white Air Force Ones.

Lecrae did, yeah. And D1 did with the Reeboks. The Reeboks soldiers. Because he's from New Orleans. Right. We should play all of those this morning and take phone calls if we can. I don't know if we can play all of them. Why can't we play all of them?

They long as hell. You ain't got no problem playing all the BS when it's long as hell. We don't play the BS when it's long as hell. What's the BS? They're not long as hell. They're long as hell? How long are they? All right, well, let's just play Lecrae and D1.

Okay, there we go. We can do that. All right. Well, let's play Kendrick's parts rapping about them. There you go. There you go. And then we'll take your phone calls if you haven't heard it. 800-585-1051.

Let's discuss. Because you know what I want to know? What? I want to know if people really do want this. Everybody say a shift is happening, right? They don't want it. I want to know. I want to know do people really want this?

Do they want balance? Or they just want this all the time? Well, let's talk about it when we come back so don't move it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club good morning we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us

we're opening up the phone lines 800-585-1051 we were talking about Kendrick Lamar he released a record last week Friday yeah watch the party die and on this record he mentioned D1 and Lecrae. Let's play it.

Play a little bit. Dear God, please forgive me. You know how hard I tried. I think it's time for me to watch the party die. Sometimes I wonder what Lecrae would do. I want to be empathetic. My heart like D1. But I will.

It's time to get these devils out the way. Heavy metal's on my swirl. We'll settle hard disputes today. Both those artists respond to D1 and Lecrae. If you know, they've both been on The Breakfast Club several times. So we want to get that on and take your phone calls. 800-585-1051. It seems like there could be a possible shift

in hip-hop. That's what we're discussing. Is this what we want? Do we want balance? Do we want more of this? What we want? Let's talk about it. Let's play Lecrae first. Let's play Lecra discussing. And is this what we want? Do we want balance? Do we want more of this? Like, what we want? Let's talk about it. Let's play Lecrae first. Let's play Lecrae. We'll take your calls. We'll play D1 as well.

Let's go. Now we got Coach Davis on the line. Coach Davis, what you think about Lecrae's doing we just heard? Hey, listen. You know what? I think a total shift is involved and needed right now. And I say that because of this, right? Chuck D broke it down i'm his oldest hip-hop at 51 years right and chuck d broke it down he said every five years there's a

new generation of hip-hop so we're talking 10 generations right now and each generation there's a shift. We went from positivity with self-destruction and Chuck D and all the positive rap. Then we went to gangster rap. Then from gangster rap, we went to party and materialism with P. Diddy and everybody. Then we went to this overhyped drill rap that overhypedly sexualized rap.

So now you think it's time to come back? You think it's time to come back? It's time to come back. Because the dumb and down of America, this generation of kids right now are dumb. It's not their tune.

And I hate to say it that way, but we need to bring it back. No, speak it straight. Well, let's get into D1 music, because people haven't heard the D1 joint as well. If you're just joining us, of course, Kendrick Lamar mentioned D1 and Lecrae on his song that he released on Friday. We just played Lecrae's,

I don't want to say response, but passing the baton. Yeah, Kendrick passed the baton and Lecrae ran with it, and now D1 got a heat runner with it. Let's get into it. Now, if you're just joining us, we played D1's track as a, I don't want to say a response to kendrick lamar but uh as charlamagne said earlier it's kind of like passing the baton we also just played look crazy we're just getting your thoughts 800-585-1051 what do you think lauren um you think are you asking me if i think

people want that yes i don't know i don't think so i mean it's phenomenal music i do think i think people want balance i do think people want balance Who are people? Like what people Are you talking about? Humans It depends So you're talking about

Like everybody as a Like the world Yeah I don't think so You don't think people want balance? No I think that there are A group of people Who are okay with

Listening to what they listen to That is not conscious That just makes them feel good That they just party to And then they move on Yeah and then there's A whole group of people Who want to hear stuff like that.

And that's what I mean when I say balance, because we're talking to all of those people, Lauren. We're not just talking to the ratchets. Yeah, but I'm asking you, I thought you meant that all people want the balance. Like, they want conscious, and they want the other stuff, too. I don't believe that all people want both, I think. All people? Probably not. I couldn't make a broad generalization like that. I think it's also where people are in their life.

Like, you know, some people want to hear party music. They want to hear different types of music. Like Lauren. Lauren wants to turn up. She don't want to hear positivity. She don't want to hear black man put your gun down. She don't want to hear let's work together. She wants to hear...

Amy. What? Like what? What? And I think the problem... I partied with you before, Lauren. In a party, no, I don't want to think about the trials and tribulations of the world. I just want to have a good time.

Okay. And I think that's been the problem with radio for so long. The problem with radio for so long, especially hip-hop and R&B radio, is that we only super serve one audience. When it comes to it, yes. At times, yeah. So I think that's what Kendrick is saying on the party. The party must die.

The party is dead. The party must die. The party is dead. The party must die. And I love Lecrae must die. And I love Lecrae's responses and I love D1's responses.

But like you said, we, you know, most radio stations don't play that side of it. Like you rarely will hear Lecrae. You rarely will hear D1.

I mean, at times you rarely hear Kendrick. But isn't that because you rarely hear a J. Cole. You know what I mean? Don't the stuff that y'all have to program to play, it goes by what's popular, right?

So that's my thing. Even if you're a DJ that's into all of that, like the balance, you got a choice. You're right. But here's the thing. If you look at the last 15 years of hip hop, right, the biggest artists ain't even really on that. The Kendricks, the Coles, you know, even Drake. Like Drake, he makes those records, but Drake also makes stuff that makes you think whatever,

whatever. But then you think about the Big Sean's and the Wale's and the Chance the Rap. I'm just thinking about all the people who have been popping over the last 15 years. The Rhapsodies, who else? There's a bunch of them. But even with those people existing, you still find a way to play the low vibrational stuff that's in the clubs. But also what most people don't know when it comes to

radio stations a record label picks a single and they go for that single. So they push that single hard. They still do that now? Yes. And the majority

of the singles that they push are the records that are not like your Lecraze or the records that's not like D1's are very

very very not too much you don't hear that many J. Cole records you don't hear that many Kendrick records like that. Because you got a bunch of,

salute to all the new guys that's doing that too, though. The LaRussells and the Earth Gangs. I love LaRussell. Like, I love him. I love his music. I love the content he puts out. I love how he don't care about nothing but what he does. But you don't,

a lot of people like him don't break through and they're not able to live off of what they're doing. He's doing very well for himself. But you also got a lot of older executives in place who aren't really paying attention to that and they're so they're so programmed to only do what it is they know which is research you know what i mean they still what is research but people also feel like i know they always also feel like that certain people relate to them because they came come from that area that hood like whether it's money bag yo coming from memphis they feel like people will feel that hood. Whether it's Moneybagg Yo coming from Memphis,

they feel like people feel that more in certain areas. They feel like somebody coming from Brooklyn or from the hoods in New York might feel Pop Smoke or Fabio foreign more. It's just what people feel like when people relate to them. And some people just don't relate to D1 or they don't relate to Lecrae. I think the saturation of artists

has a lot to do with it too. You don't have to have staying power. You just got to get a viral song, make it on TikTok, and then boom, the label's on the body. And I think that's the problem. I think that's what radio reacts to. Radio reacts to those viral singles, which is fine. But once again, where's the balance? All right, well, let's go to the phone line.

We got Jay on the line. Jay, good morning. Yo, peace, everybody. Good morning, good morning. Hey, Jay, what you think? So, I've been following the whole Drake and Kendrick thing. And I think the way it's all unfolded to right now is beautiful for us. This joint that we're talking about that made D1 and Lecrae respond,

it's super balanced. It's taking us to a place where it should be. And I think, you know, for hip-hop specifically, people have always painted this picture that, oh, it's all negative, it's all negative. I think the reality is there's a lot of negativity in the world that's true there's also positivity there's also light there's also you know like people that have fruitful and nurturing perspectives on things and specific to Lecrae and D1 as someone that's followed a career you know pretty

early on right the first joint I heard from from Lecrae was called Jesus Music. Y'all have to go check that out. Fire. Riding around with my top down, listening to this Jesus Music. So, you know, he's kind of been about his faith for a long time, and he's been on his own journey. Then you got D1. Y'all have to go check out Weezy J50.

That's the name of the song, if y'all don't know. I heard that before. And that'll take you All the way back And just show you Where his head and heart Has been So I think for the people That are at arms about

Y'all why is D You know why is D Getting mentioned Why is Lecrae Getting mentioned If y'all look at their history And their resume And their pedigree

Then you'll see why Kendrick would reference These two brothers And I think The perspectives That these two brothers Showed on their response Like they're not a response But like you said Passing the baton Yeah I think the perspectives that these two brothers showed on their response, like, they're not a response,

but like you said, passing the baton. Yeah. I think it's a full circle moment. I'm so happy for both of them, proud of both of them, watching their trajectory. And y'all better go pick up that

Tell the Truth or Die Lying. Y'all need to pick that up. Thank you, brother. Get Honest or Die Lying. Thank you, sir. That's my book. I thought it was a remix. Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

See, the sad thing about it is we'll play these records and then next week they'll be gone well no they'll be gone on radio but they'll still exist online right and that's why radio needs to catch up if people are still listening to it like sometimes people say i love this i like this they'll listen to it one time then they'll go back to they'll listen to it if we play in the club they'll go back to you know whatever it is the club they'll listen if we play it that's why we call it radio programming we it They'll go back to You know whatever it is They'll listen to it If we play it That's why we call it Radio programming

We can program y'all To like anything People don't even listen To radio like that anymore You see your line The Illuminati will be revealed They don't That's not true

No one sits and listens I don't know I don't have friends that 90% Over 90% of America Still listens to radio Every morning Lauren Everybody I know

They get their stuff offline They watch it from YouTube They stream From their phones But they do that with radio i heart radio app yeah but i'm saying no one's like in the car when you say this is somebody i'm thinking you're in the car driving most people are on their apps and they consume it differently yeah they're at work at the gym they're on the bus they're on the train there's different ways of consuming music radio now you've been working here all of this time people telling you that you ain't got you don't shave

One thing you're not going to do today is keep... 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.

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture,

that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Hey, I'm Gianna Pardenti.

And I'm Jimei Jackson-Gadsden. We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, the early career podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts. One of the most exciting things about having your first real job is that first real paycheck. You're probably thinking, yay, I can finally buy a new phone. But you also have a lot of questions like, how should I be investing this money? I mean, how much do I save? And what about my 401k? Well, we're talking with finance expert Vivian Toot, aka Your Rich BFF, to break it all down. I always get roasted on the internet when I say this out loud, but I'm like, every single, you need to be asking for a raise of somewhere between 10 to 15%.

I'm not saying you're going to get 15% every single year, but if you ask for 10 to 15 and you end up getting eight, that is actually a true raise. Listen to this week's episode of let's talk offline on the I heart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Keep mixing up my words. Y'all know what I meant.

Physically sitting at a radio is not... Just go to commercials. We have Just With The Mess with Lauren LaRosa coming up, so don't go anywhere. Y'all are the mess. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Just With The mess with Lauren LaRosa. News is real. We're in the calories. Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody.

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

Going back to Diddy really quickly, it is 8.52 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, September 17th, and as of now, nothing has been unsealed in the indictment, the federal indictment that Diddy was taken into custody, arrested for last night.

And we believe he's still locked up, right? We don't think he's released yet? No, there's no word that he's been released. So to my knowledge, he is still in custody. I wanted to update. I know earlier I had mentioned that there were reports that he was arrested in a hotel lobby. That has been confirmed to a source that confirmed it was the Park Hyatt Hotel in New York. He was taken in by Homeland Security. Homeland Security's Investigations Department,

HSI, which is the department that ran into his home along with a couple other agencies. And just to clarify who they are, they lead the investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security and they're responsible for investigating transnational crime and threats including human trafficking, terrorism,

drug smuggling, and other organized criminal activity. I'd also been trying to clarify a bit why all of this is going down in New York and way before it just had been taken custody. The grand jury convening, just everything is based here when it seems like things are widespread. Yeah, because they raided this house in L.A. and Florida. So I was wondering why New York? I received pushback from the U.S. attorney's office only because they're saying this is not unsealed yet. So they can't talk to me any additional any time additionally on it until that. And then I'd also mentioned earlier that Diddy was out and about this past week.

Last night was out with his son and friends. And then he was also at Melba's during the day, which is a restaurant in Harlem. And I spoke to some people that were in the restaurant when he was there. And I was told that he was there a little bit after two o'clock. He called ahead before he came. He was very warm and very casual. He was taking photos and stuff with people, but he was a bit reserved. So, you know, I don't know how much he knew was going to happen

in those next couple hours that next day, but yeah. All I know is they talking about putting that racketeering on him. Like I told y'all earlier, if you ever had an orgy with Diddy, it's a possibility you might be going to jail. If you ever been over one of them houses drunk off Ciroc butt naked, it's possible. Yeah, that's what people were saying. You know, they're going to really start releasing what's in those videos and who else is going to be picked up. What?

Why was that a whoa? Whoa. Because that's going to be a lot. You know how long Diddy been in the industry? Yeah, they probably got VHS tapes. They got VHS tapes. Come on, man. They got VHS tapes for sure, for sure. That's going to be

getting a peek behind the curtain of the Illuminati. Well, we are going to keep you guys posted as things are happening, whether it's here on The Breakfast Club

or on Brown Card Grinding, so make sure you stay locked in with us. Do we know what time that press conference is going to happen? Are they going to unseal all those documents?

I don't know anything. I don't know anything about... They haven't even said officially there will be a press conference. They just said things will be on file. So unsealed. So I'll keep you guys posted on all of that stuff for sure. Are they going to give Diddy a bail?

Do we know that too? They have to give Diddy a bail. Why are you asking her questions? You don't know. She's diving in. She's dove in. He does not have to receive. He has to be given legally the right to ask for one.

But a judge can deny it. And I think that if that is denied, that's going to be given legally the right to ask for one but a judge can deny it and i think that if that is denied it's going to that's going to be very telling as well too um but moving on though we'll get back to that when we know more good job lauren you were really investigating really good at what she does she's a journalist thank you that's brown girl thank you brown girl don't shave a brown girl grunt what'd you say he said you don't shave i did not say that he said you didn't shave oh i heard him okay i didn't you said? He said you don't shave. I did not say that. He said you didn't shave. Oh, I heard him. Okay. You said what he said.

Yeah, because Brown Girl, I'm going to punch you in your face. You got some great stories. Okay. So moving on. Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart sat down with some guy we know

in the room. Leonard. Yes. So he sat down with Charlamagne for Charlamagne's, what is it called? Out of Context. Out of Context.

For Out of Context. Sorry. And you guys got into the Cat Williams conversation.'s take a listen I think there's probably one moment where I've actually talked about Kat publicly and this was when I think it was on Breakfast Club we were we were promoting night school and Tiffany was affected by some of the things you said and I'm it was more of a like support for her in that moment and like uh some shots at him do you regret that yeah i shouldn't even talk about it she never addressed him at all i don't have to what like why now if you guys are not familiar with the comments that he made while

he was here with tiffany haddish let's take a listen to those comments my frustration with cat williams comes from you keep pointing at hollywood hollywood this the white man this this and this when do you take responsibility for your actions you had the shot kat was in that position you were the guy you were set up to be the star you didn't show up to work and you know people think that kev was kev shot first kev was replying to kat when kat was on frank Skinner Wanda show right yeah but they only remember Kat going to Wanda yeah yes yep well I mean that that clip picked up everywhere so maybe that like clarifies stuff for a little bit for people I just like in this

interview Kevin Hart he's he's so elevated beyond all the noise and I love to see that from him because he gets a lot of noises because he is the star right now or has been for a while. Yes. Not going anywhere. But, Sharla, all the ill stuff because we on you right now. What's all this ill stuff? Well, you know, another thing me and Kevin Hart talked about in that interview was, you know, the rhetoric that he's a plant. Like there's like a secret society that can just press buttons
