Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts.
Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills.
You can't see it, taste it, or smell it.
Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap, and the dealer might not even know.
Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on fentanyl.

Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news
Morning Morgan
Good morning y'all DJ envy Charlamagne the God and Jess hilarious. Happy birthday girl. Thank you boo
All right, so let's get into it. Let's line up that Trump meeting Putin audio.
Yeah.
So President Trump, he's saying he's not saying whether or not he feels Ukraine and Russia
are equal in their efforts to end the war between the two.
Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump says he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin
and they will immediately start negotiations to end the war following a highly productive
cause what he called it.
And the two will meet a few times.
So let's hear more from Trump on meeting with Putin.
It's an interesting question.
I think they have to make peace.
Their people are being killed and I think they have to make peace.
President Putin wants to have peace now and that's good.
And he didn't want to have peace with Biden.
Do we expect that he'll come here and I'll go there and we're gonna meet also probably
in Saudi Arabia the first time we'll meet in Saudi Arabia see if we get
something done but we want to end that war that war is a disaster
he also spoke about the White House or spoke excuse me he did say he felt the
two made peace and said Ukrainian President
Vladimir Zelensky would have to do what he has to do when it comes to potentially giving
up part of its territory following those negotiations.
Now, White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, she spoke about the calls between
Trump and Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Let's hear more from White House President, Secretary Caroline Levitt
on Russia and Ukraine.
I myself just spoke to the president about these calls.
And he told me to tell all of you,
they were very good calls.
They were very positive.
And the administration is wholeheartedly committed
to a peace deal to end once and for all the Russia-Ukraine
war.
We discussed a variety of topics having to do with the war,
but mostly the meeting that
is being set up on Friday in Munich, where Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State
Marco Rubio will lead the delegation.
Yeah, so in a post on Truth Social, he said the conversation with Zelensky went very well.
Trump added that like Putin, Zelensky wants to make peace.
He went on to say, it
is time to stop this ridiculous war where there has been massive and totally unnecessary
death and destruction. So we will continue to watch what happens as a result of these
negotiations between President Trump, Vladimir Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Now elsewhere in the Trump administration, the White House says Wednesday's inflation report
shows the Biden administration left them
with a mess to deal with.
Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said
the previous administration was not transparent
in where the economy truly was.
Let's hear more from White House Press Secretary
Caroline Levitt on the economy and inflation.
The Biden administration indeed left us
with a mess to deal with.
It's far worse than I think anybody anticipated because unfortunately the previous administration
was not transparent in where the economy truly was.
People at this very podiums told the American people that inflation was transitory and that
it would go away.
That was not the case.
And now the last report of the Biden administration as revealed today shows that inflation is still about 4.5 percent higher over
the past three months. Well the American people could have told you that I mean
you know inflation numbers might have been down but you know
people didn't feel that in their pockets in any way shape or form.
Nah. I mean inflation might have been down but the price of everything else was up
all you had to do was talk to the American people and you would know that
the economy wasn't as strong as you thought
it was. Well not only that, like going back to the Ukraine war, she was saying all that
the war had to stop. They said they allocated like $113 billion for that war and already
gave up $69 billion worth of American funds which is a lot of money. And then you hear
the prices of eggs and all this other stuff is going up, yeah it's going to piss some
people off. Oh for sure. So the latest Consumer Price Index report showed that the annual inflation
ticked up 3% in January. Carolyn Levitt added that the CPI report is an indictment on the Biden
administration's mismanagement of the inflation crisis. She also said that Trump wants interest
rates to be lower and thinking that it will lead to lower inflation. Now the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, he testified before lawmakers on Capitol
Hill recently saying that the Fed is committed to bringing down inflation but
added that lawmakers are not apparently in a rush to lower interest rates. His
appearance comes as of course tech billionaire Elon Musk, head of the
Trump's administration's Doge Department, Department
of Government Efficiency, appears to be backing the idea of former Congressman Ron Paul replacing
Powell as the chair of the central bank.
So we will continue to see what happens and, you know, as a result of that, I mean, we're
experiencing this.
And to your point, Charlemagne and Envy, we're watching the price of eggs.
We're the ones that are out here grocery shopping.
And yeah, so yeah, we don't.
Why is it eggs in particular that everybody always focuses on? Everything is high. Why
is it essential? Yeah, that's one of the basic essentials that you keep in the house. Eggs,
bread, you know, milk, juice. Yeah, but bills is high. Rent is high. Mortgage is high. Like everything is high.
Why are they just eggs on it?
When people be high and they want eggs, they eat so easy.
That's what they do.
Hey, an egg sandwich after you.
You ain't laugh.
Anyways, I know girl.
Hello.
All right, y'all.
So switching gears.
An Illinois county board is signing off on a $10 million settlement for the family of
Sonia Massey.
Say her name, Sonia Massey. Say her name,
Sonia Massey. The 36-year-old black woman was shot and killed by a law enforcement officer
last July inside of her own home in an unincorporated neighborhood in Springfield. She had called
authorities to report a possible prowler before the incident occurred. She said someone was
breaking in her house and she called the police and then they ended up shooting her. So the
Sangamon County board unanimously approved the payout yesterday after reaching an agreement
last week. Former Sangamon County Sheriff's Deputy Sean Grayson, he is charged with first-degree
murder in the shooting. So just an update.
Get paid young lady, get paid. I mean, I hate that to happen to her, but I am happy that
she received some type of compensation for it.
Well her family. Her family, Yes, how much was it?
Ten million dollars, which is nothing for a life. That is a nothing. You know, that's not a lot
No, it's never enough, you know, you're talking about a loss of life, but that's your front page news for 6 a.m
Guys, I will talk about reparations at 7. All right, everybody else get it off your chest
about reparations at 7. All right, everybody else, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again.
800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this? Good morning, this is Christian from 11MPA. What's up Christian,
get it off your chest. What's up everybody, I just want to say happy birthday to Jess,
good morning to you guys and have a good day and God bless. Thank you sir. Happy birthday Jess.
Thank you. Whatever, you ain't here for us to celebrate you sir. Happy born day Jess. Thank you.
Whatever, you ain't here for us to celebrate you
and love on you, but whatever.
Damn.
Whatever.
Whatever.
Hello, who's this?
Hey this is Theo from Compton.
Hey what's up brother?
Get it off your chest.
Hey, how you guys doing before I start?
We bless black and holly pail, sir.
So good brother.
Compton.
Compton.
Happy birthday over there Jess. Yeah, sorry. Thank you.
I'm on here so I'm kind of sleep. But I wanted to get off my
off my chest is have you guys heard of Dax News? No. DAX. It's
something that's been seen. It popped up on TikTok a couple
months ago. If you look at their page, it says it's a satire on the page pretty clearly,
but some of the stories are salacious and I've seen so many people be fooled by vaccines
videos. It's something that you might want to try and warn people about. It's pretty
crazy. There's one video that suggested that a six-year-old child shot a cop.
No, I haven't seen it. The bad thing about you talking about it,
people are gonna go check it out.
And you do know on TikTok, people get paid off of views,
so I'm sure they post a little bit of everything
just to get the views up, which it seems like is working,
and they get paid off of it.
The crazy part is it also dramatic,
because nobody cares about the truth
and the lie is more entertaining,
and satire is very, very, very, very entertaining.
So I'm sure that a lot of those stories
reinforce a lot of narratives and conspiracy theories
people already have so they share them just because they want to look like they're right.
Yeah, but the problem that I have with them is that they make us kind of look bad.
Us mean melanated people.
You mean Negroes?
I don't know.
It's something to look into.
Why people be so afraid to say black?
They be like, us, melanated people. It's something it's something to look into why people be so afraid to say black. Maybe like us
Melanated people first of all it ain't even a why are you so happy to say Negroes? But I just why why people be afraid to say black
Afraid to say white to you have people come up here for interviews and they'd be like, well, you know like others
Like you mean white people like well, we say white and black. We don't have a problem with it. But yeah, I know
Black speaking of black
speaking of black like to tell stories if
If you might be looking for another podcast I got some stories to tell cuz nobody's gonna tell black stories like we will
That know that's true. Nobody tells black stories like black people. That's a fact. That's right
and and I'm a history junkie. I love to tell history stories, but
I'll be calling in from time to time to see if I can drop one on you if you don't mind.
Alright brother. Let us know. Thank you, Thiel. Alright, thank you. Happy Black History Month.

And I wanted to give a big shout out to Jonathan Majors.
I hear that he's in talks with Kevin Feige
on getting his job back at MCU
and so they can finish out that whole Kang saga.
How you feel about that though? Because they're going to bring him back just to kill him?
Well, at least he gets his job back, he gets paid and he gets to finish the story, man.
That's how I feel about it.
Yeah, they're going to show why Dr. Doom is such a big bad by, I mean that's still allegedly, I don't know if it's true, but they're going to show why dr. Doom is such a big bad by I mean, that's allegedly
I don't know if this you're gonna show why dr. Doom with such a big bag by killing Kang
But you know Jonathan does also have a magazine dreams coming out. That's another project that he's in
Yeah, and he's got a great project out right now called broke down profits that you can listen to on audible
executive produced by Kevin Hart and this guy named Charlamagne the guy Oh snap!
He's nominated for an audio too
Yeah that's what's up man
I mean shoot he
I say he shouldn't have been fired in the first place
If he'd have been with DC I think he'd have been able to keep the job
You think so because of Ezra Miller?
Yeah
Okay okay okay
But yeah y'all have a good day though man
You too brother
Salute the salute to Jonathan to you know that that project we exactly is that executive producers nominated for an audio award in the audio
Drama category at the audience. So yes, we everybody who listen to broke down profits on audible
Congratulations. Mm-hmm. All right, get it off your chest
885 105 1 if you need to vent you can hit us up now we got just with the mess coming up
What we talking about? Yes, Wendy just made a huge step toward getting free
She signed a papers to extra judge the in her guardianship. So we won't get into that. All right, we'll get into that when we come back
So don't move is to breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club
Morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club, let's get to Jess with the Mess. She's a coacheship. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could
get you to see.
It's time to set it on.
Okay, so Wendy Williams signed the affidavit to be released from the conservatorship.
Yes.
And I think this, so when this was reported yesterday, it came later in the evening after
the TMZ documentary.
I think a lot of people think that this means she submits it and then boom, she's free.
Like she's good.
That's what I'm saying.
What's the process with that?
How long is it?
Like what else does she have to do?
There's a, I mean, so the process can,
it depends on the judge.
So basically what happened is,
is there's a, this is like a first step.
You don't even have to take the step from what I'm told.
So you submit this affidavit.
If the judge is like, okay, yeah,
I agree with everything you guys are saying.
She should be free. She can literally just be free but that's not
gonna happen because we've been talking about up here the fact that the judge is
saying he himself evaluated Wendy in addition to a medical center and he felt
like she had enough of it but he determined that she had the frontal
temporal dementia and she needed somebody conservatorship wise in her
life so I think that her-
Oh, I know a judge who does that.
So from what Wendy's conservator said in the legal letter, she said that Wendy was evaluated
by a medical center and then the judge themselves have to do like an evaluation of some sort.
It's probably not a medical one.
It's probably more of like cognitive and like conversation and decision making type stuff.
They do the same thing.
Remember I told you when she changed her lawyer, the judge was going to do the the same thing So I don't think that this affidavit is gonna work
But I think Wendy's attorney probably did it just because it's just a part of the process like if the judge were to say yes
They would expedite everything so what happens from here even release that why did he even put that up?
I have no idea this confused the heck out of me because it makes people think she coming home exactly
That's what it felt like 100% makes people think she's coming home
And I feel like it's just really premature.
Because for instance, right, once you submit this affidavit,
there are supposed to be two doctors that Wendy is supposed
to then go and see as a part of the conversation of if she
should be released or not.
From what I'm told, they're still figuring out doctors
and who the doctors are.
None of that is really set in stone yet.
So I don't know
what the reason why this story was released. TMZ released this story.
What are where it came from?
I'm not for sure. I don't know. But they say that their sources say that Wendy is going to be
reevaluated by a doctor next Tuesday. And this doctor was selected by the attorney Wendy has
hired to end the guardianship. TMZ was also told the following day her lawyer will file an emergency
order to show cause,
translation, a petition to force the issue with the judge who has the power to end the
guardianship.
So it's like she's trying to put the pressure on the judge.
But from what I'm told, a lot of what they're saying here is still very premature.
Whoever put that out doing too much.
You're doing too much in every single little step that you are doing to try to get Wendy
out does not need to be publicized.
Yeah, I agree.
And also I was gonna ask what you know
She's going to see her father this week and they said in the dock is she going rogue or is somebody going with her?
They travel she got people travel. She can't go rogue. Remember? Okay. She had to have security
She's gonna have somebody travel with her like she can't go see an eye dog. She got a cane. It's everything
With the hell no, she don't she got a little got a CNI dog. Just don't listen to him
I'm such a teeny goddamn cats.'t she got a little got a CNI dog. Just don't listen to him. I'm so skinny goddamn cats. How she get a CNN
Also was told yesterday to remember I told you guys that I spoke I reached out to Robbie Kaplan's office
That is the attorney who's over the Annie lawsuit. So I spoke with someone from that office who let me know
They saw the documentary. They have some really interesting feedback to it
I don't think they're too fond of it, but they say that that you know they can't get into the conservatorship stuff they're
just any lawsuit stuff however Sabrina I now has a lawyered up in this whole situation
and she's supposed to be releasing something or filing something of her own this coming
week so I don't know what that is we don't care well yeah I mean well we're just reporting
the news here yeah so basically Wendy, it's not happening yet.
Y'all people think it's happening, but it's not happening yet.
Um, now some more lawsuits we got Diddy.
Yes.
So when somebody did he said, I keep getting sued.
I want a piece of this pie too.
Girl, excuse me.
That's why he's in the situation.
He's in too much pie.
I want a piece of somebody pie.
Oh, cake too big.
Oh, his knees still hurt.
Maybe reach out. I, I didn't get, I didn't get much on want pie cake too. There you go. Do his knees still hurt? Maybe reach out about knees.
I didn't get much on the knees, but I'm assuming they do still hurt.
But yeah, so yesterday Diddy filed a lawsuit against NBC Universal, Peacock, and Amble
LLC for defamation or defamatory statements.
So he's saying that when they did that whole ditty, the making of a bad boy documentary
that we talked about in here,
that a lot of the claims and the things
that they were accusing him of were completely false.
And he's saying he wants $100 million in damages
for severe harm to his reputation,
economic harm and the defamatory statements.
Why just NBC?
It's been about five or six documentaries
that have come out.
I have no idea.
On top of podcasts and YouTube pages, like there's so many people with stories. Like
why he just aiming at NBC?
I don't know. He's alleging that they falsely accused some of serial murder, sexual assault
minors and sex trafficking when there's no credible evidence to support any of these
heinous allegations because they go into like a lot of the Albie Shore claims
and it's a lot.
Yeah, I still think it's crazy that they have these documentaries out when he's on trial
like because people, the jury sees this stuff.
But there's so many of them.
Right.
So it's like what are you going to do?
He's Diddy, like he's puffed, like it's going to happen.
I just feel like he has a lot more things to focus on right now than this
I agree with Lauren a hundred percent did he should be saving all his coins to fight his criminal case you worried about the wrong things
Okay, there are a lot of salacious stories out there about Diddy
I don't know what's true or what's not true
But he should be focused on what's going to happen in that courtroom and not on documentaries YouTube and podcast
You can't be out here suing everybody just cuz they say you slept with Carl Linds though call Winslow
YouTube and podcast you can't be out here suing everybody just cuz they say you slept with Carl Lindzow Carl Winslow
Part though he not saying he do that he's saying all the other stuff Did you see the one where they said he was playing duck duck doodoo with people's booties what?
No for cheeks They say he was playing Luna over Cheeks. He'd make people draw for. If you draw for, you gotta get on all fours.
There was crazy stuff out there.
You better stop before you get in the next lawsuit.
I'm scared now.
Even, yo, when I was reading.
What documentary is that?
It's just crazy stuff.
As I'm saying, you can't go around suing everybody just
because they saying crazy stuff at a time like this.
Focus on your criminal case.
That documentary was straight to DVD.
I didn't see that one.
Yeah, I didn't see that one.
No, that was the I Heart Doc.
What'd I say?
They said, leave us out of it. We ain't got nothing to do with it. But the stuff that he's upset about in this, I see that one. No, that was but that's the Way that's it Leave us out of it. We got to do it
But there's something he's upset about and it's I'm like, yo
And this is every single lawsuit every single doc maybe trying to put a stop to it because he knows if he sues one people
I have to second guess when he put it out. Yeah, it's so much noise around this
It's not people don't even this lawsuit dropped and people reported it and moved on five seconds later. You got time for more
No 69 69 I said a 650 now dropped and people reported it and moved on five seconds later. You got time for more? No?
659?
69?
I said it's 659.
What's going on with you today?
I said as soon as they hit Diddy he just started saying all type of wild numbers.
What you got on that computer screen? Let me see. What you watching? You alright?
He talk about 69, draw four, diddy, that.
I said 659. Alright, well then.
No, the draw four thing was real that he said he's have you ever looked into the night sky and
Wondered who or what was flying around up there?
We've seen planes helicopters hot air balloons and birds, but what if there's something else?
Something much more ominous that appears under the cover of night
silent
unseen
watching under the cover of night, silent, unseen, watching. They may be right above your car late one night
as you cruise down the road or look like mysterious lights hovering above your home.

Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts.
Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription
pills.
You can't see it, taste it, or smell it.
Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap. And the dealer might not even know.
Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on fentanyl.

Good morning.
Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club.
Morning everybody, it's DJ N.V.
Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get back to some front page news.
What's up, Morgan?
Good morning, good morning, y'all.
What's up?
It's Jess' birthday.
We celebrating on all.
That's right.
You know we all like yours.
As soon as I get off of here, I'm gonna start my thing.
I love that, I love that.
All right, well let's get into the news then, I guess. You know what we are. Or as soon as I get off of here, I'm gonna start my thing. I love that. I love that.
All right, well, let's get into the news then, I guess.
You know what I'm saying?
House Democrats announced the reintroduction of a bill addressing reparations for slavery.
H.R. 40 is federal legislation that would create a commission to study and propose reparations
for slavery and subsequent racial discrimination.
Now Massachusetts Congresswoman Iyana Presley
is taking over the bill after Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee
out of Texas died last summer from cancer.
Now let's take a listen to Congresswoman Iyana Presley
announce H.R. 40.
More than four centuries ago, Africans were kidnapped,
trafficked and enslaved, forced to build this country
under horrific brutality,
an economy which we still benefit from today.
Rice, sugar, tobacco, cotton, and even after the Civil War, Emancipation, the 13th Amendment,
the legacy of slavery endured in other forms, codified in law to deny black Americans freedom,
opportunity, and dignity.
And that's what brings us here today.
This brutality, these injustices, these horrors were not things just happened within the culture
by osmosis.
They were legislated.
Today with Donald Trump and Republicans waging their coordinated and at times unlawful assault
on black folks and black history, we will not allow that history to be erased.
We will not allow it to be whitewashed.
Can I say something about Iyana Presley?
Sure.
I think Iyana Presley is a Democrat that I enjoy hearing from.
She's inspiring, she's informative, she's about action, she speaks truth to power.
That is a Democrat who should be at the forefront in regards to leadership of the whole party.
Oh, I thought you were going to have a big but.
No, there's no but. I just think she should be one of the whole party. Oh, I thought you were going to have a big butt. No, there's no butt.
I just think she should be one of the people at the forefront.
Get rid of, put the Chuck Schumers and Hakeem Jeffries
and Nancy Pelosi, you know, all of them need to move out
to the side and let people like Ayanna Presley
be at the forefront.
I love that.
All right, so during the last congressional session,
the bill had 130 co-sponsors.
However, it is unlikely to pass
now in this session with a Republican controlled House and Senate. Of course, this comes as
Trump issued an executive order banning diversity, equity and inclusion policies in federal agencies.
He called DEI illegal and discriminatory and as a result, federal workers are being placed
on leave and this also involved in some Americans and their larger companies to walk back corporate
equity promises. For example, Walmart, we saw Target doing that. And of course, Representative
John Conyers out of Michigan, he first introduced the bill, H.R. 40 in 1989, and then Sheila
Jackson Lee took over when he retired in 2017.
So in the conversation of reparations, I mean, we've had this conversation, I want to say
last year, Charlamagne, we mentioned it.
What do you think that looks like?
As far as what?
What reparations could look like today?
I mean, it's not so much as 40 acres and a mule cutting a check.
Or what do you think it could look like?
I really don't know.
You know, I like economic equity packages that I see people put together.
You know, Wes Bellamy did a lot of that in Charlottesville.
But I don't know.
I don't know if it should be cash payments.
I don't know if it should be land grants.
I don't know if it should be free education.
I really don't know.
I just know it should be something.
Yeah, I was going to say at least the conversation is being had. So let's switch gears. A federal
judge is allowing President Trump's employee buyout plan to continue. Remember it was initially
blocked, but no, it is going to move forward and continue. Last month, Trump offered money to
millions of federal employees to get them to quit, but multiple labor unions filed lawsuits
soon after saying the administration did not have legal authority to offer such buyouts. However, a judge has issued a temporary freeze on the
administration's offer. But on Wednesday, the same judge announced the unions lacked
legal standing in their lawsuits and this buyout is allowed to move forward. Now, the
buyout the deadline for the buyout is already over. So you would have had to take advantage
of it or make mention that you have already taken advantage of it.
And we will see what happens to those who have actually accepted this buyout.
So what it means is that you will work or you have, you essentially have quit your job
at the federal government and you will continue to be paid through September.
All right.
So in New York, New York is highlighting its diverse workforce as President Trump continues
to issue these executive orders curbing DEI initiatives.
Reverend Al Sharpton says President Trump's claims on DEI programs don't hire candidates
based on merit.
Now, public advocate Jumein Williams, he explains what DEI programs set out to do.
Let's hear more from Reverend Al Sharpton and Jumein Williams. Can you imagine a man with 34 felony convictions and a sexual harassment conviction
talking about merit? He couldn't figure fill out a resume at any one of these firms that's standing
here. So merit has nothing to do with this. All it says is that we should take measures to make sure that people who are qualified
and can do the job are in the spaces and applicant pools to be chosen.
Yeah, so Comptroller Brad Lander, he also joined public advocate Jermaine Williams and
Reverend Al Sharpton to recognize the diverse workforce managing billions of dollars worth
of city pensions.
Now, Lander says major companies like Walmart, Amazon
have already started rolling back diversity, equity
and inclusion initiatives in advance,
even though data shows diversity in their senior leadership
and employees contributes to financial performance.
Of course, Google Meta and Target also.
And most recently I've noticed Disney.
Disney is actually changing content warnings
ahead of their old movies like DUMBO and
Peter Pan. Now the movies currently have a disclaimer that says the films will include
quote negative depictions and or mistreatment of peoples or cultures while the new version will
read this program is presented as originally created and may contain stereotypes or negative
depictions. Disney is one of the latest companies to roll back some of their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Morgan, I do have one thing
though. You asked a question about what would reparations look like to
me. I think it could be different things for different people. What you mean?
Like for example, right? You know it would be great for me. I'm talking about for me
personally, right? Not having to pay taxes. You know, federal or state.
I do pretty okay in life in various ways. If I didn't have to pay taxes, you know federal or state like I you know I do pretty okay in life in various ways if I didn't have to pay taxes
That would be fantastic for me and I bet that there are quite a few, you know
Black people who could really really get ahead if they didn't pay federal estate taxes. I'm just somebody I think
That'd be amazing. Yeah, I think reparations. I think I think reparations would look like the you know, different things with different
You know different people but how would they decide who gets reparations right yeah I was is it
all black people but what about somebody like a Patrick Mahomes that's black half
white or oh no no he don't first of all oh no yeah no he's fine but how do you
do that because fine and he would have to pay half taxes okay
you have to pay half his taxes I'm just saying black people who are in a certain tax bracket
You know who I make a certain amount of money
I feel like I feel like a good form of reparations for them would be for them not to have to pay federal law
Our state tax. I'm really just black people period across the board should
You know, but you said already paid for it 400 years ago already paid.
And I'm not saying that that should be the only thing I'm just saying that should be
that would be that would be a step in the right direction.
A lot of people and even with people that do have a little better than other people
we can help other people with the money that we save.
Absolutely.
I agree with that.
Absolutely.
I like that.
I'm with it.
All right.
Well, you know, we'll see and I'll keep you guys posted.

So don't go anywhere.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning everybody.
It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Lone LaRosa is hanging with us today as well.
And we got some special guests in the building.
Ladies and gentlemen, Jagged Edge.
How y'all brothers doing?
Good. We got some special guests in the building. Ladies and gentlemen, Jagged Edge. Welcome here. How y'all brothers doing?
Good, man.
How you doing, man?
Y'all trying to have me see y'all in a minute.
I know, man.
It's been a minute, man.
Growing up a little bit.
That's right.
I always like to say this is one of the groups that y'all
guys don't break up at all.
Y'all ain't nothing.
But how?
We see every R&B group, there's always a breakup.
There's always an environment.
There's always a break up. How do y'all stay so tight?
Man, we like each other. I mean half the group is us.
We love each other.
But you and your brothers is the one that be fighting.
Nah, nah, nah. We be on the same page.
Absolutely.
Let's start from the beginning when you guys come here.
So how did y'all guys form the group for people that don't know?
How did Jagged Edge form?
Alright, who ever want to take this?
Well me and my brother was in the womb.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what I have in the womb.
But we had this group when we first got to Atlanta, you know, we was about 15 years old
Not when we first got there, but when we first started singing and it was two other guys and we sang at this church picnic
Kyle was at the church picnic. He came to us at the church and said listen man, I got a group
Why don't y'all drop the other two and come get with us?
He didn't have a group
He didn't have a group. He didn't have a group. But we didn't know that though.
We used to see Kyle around anyway because me and him was basketball players and his cousin was playing on our team.
So we knew each other from that and passing and then once we actually sat down and talked and we realized he could sing too. We put it together. It was another member at first and he
Fills with out somewhere along the way and we picked up Wingo and you know, I mean been together ever since
We bought 15 know we've been in this group now
What did the name come from the name came from if y'all remember think back to I think I want to say like
91 92 was a group came out of Atlanta called a few good men. They were signed to the face Yep, so just the name of their group got me looking at movie titles and during this time
I was having to be at Candy House, right?
And she had all these movies like all these just you know roles of movies
And I started looking at the movies and when I seen the movie Jagged Air
It's almost like it jumped out like hey
And so I said to them and everybody was like yeah, like not one person pushed back movie Jagged It's almost like you jumped
Okay, and what was the relationship was it just like music stuff or like? Well, we know in the school we know in the school with Kenny they was in high school together
We graduated same so we did our demo
He had took it to Kenny house just playing it for just like you know getting her approval wasn't even trying to get a deal
Or nothing she liked it so much
She was like she called when they like you still in that group y'all still y'all still trying to get a deal
He was like yeah, so we made the deal with Kenny if you get us a deal you can manage us
Yes, she got us a deal. So she was our first manager
She gets it a money in the business side
How was she as a manager in the early days? I mean she was getting a seat with us
Anybody like as far as being an active artist and trying to manage, you know manages somebody's like having kids
Right, you know, you gotta be up for them 534 on calls and and it and trying to manage, you know, manage it. Somebody's like having kids. You know what I mean?
You gotta be up for them 530 phone calls and it's just a lot.
You know what I mean?
So.
And also too, shout out to Tiny too, cause she was just as instrumental.
Without Tiny, she was like the direct link to JD on the business side.
You know what I mean?
So without her, it wouldn't have happened as well.
How instrumental was Jermaine Dupree with y'all now?
Like do y'all still like call him about music, you know for all the original parts volume one
I know I mean, you know Jermaine my man. He I'm here. That's our guy forever
But much as I love your name, I hit your man about all kind of shit, but you know
It's rough to get your man do some right
He ain't a part of it, you know
do some **** right. I'll be honest with you. If he ain't a part of it you know what I'm saying? I've had a tough time getting his involvement in things that he wasn't really spearheading. Honestly Jermaine is why we are writers and producers or at least producers we was always writers but through dealing with him we not like you can't just put us on no back burner we not you know
I mean you can't tie our hands you can't so we figured out how to go make beats ourselves You know, I mean learn how to play the keys ourselves learn how to do this stuff
So he's a big reason why I'm not saying in a negative way
Just understanding that it takes more than just one man to stop what we try absolutely
One thing about us man. We're not petty, you know
We kind of respect the blessing chance with us
So we respect the blessing keep it moving but we was already a self-contained group. We was already writing, we was already
what we were going to wear on the show so we really didn't need anything but the money
I guess. And the backing. We didn't need nothing but everything. But much love to JD. That's
our family forever. We just know there's a lotcontained. But yeah, but much love to JD. That's our family forever.
We just knows a lot of bashing when it comes to him.
Yeah, none of that.
Yeah, none of that.
Yeah, we ain't doing that.
And where did y'all leave So So Def?
And why?
We actually, So So Def left us.
Right.
You know, he had a situation with Columbia.
They couldn't get on the same page.
So he left and went to, what did he go?
With the Arista first.
Arista first, right.
So he went to Arista first Arista first right
So he went to Arista and Columbia basically told him
He couldn't take us and buy us
If you want them you'll have to pay for a football team
You know what I'm saying?
And Jenny was like I don't want them that bad
I'd have made business up
I'd have made business up
I'd have made business up
They wouldn't let them take us and buy us
So we wanted to go but you know what I mean?
Wasn't in the cards at the time.
So when y'all left at that time, that's when it completely stopped.
You never said, I'm not writing for y'all producers because y'all weren't on the label
at that time?
No, we got back together with Jermaine two different times.
We went to Def Jam with Jermaine and then we did an album with E2 with Jermaine.
So yeah, I mean, we've, you know, the music game in itself is a complicated business
And I think you know keeping your relationships tight is something that you have to do
But at the same time if you can't get on the same page with somebody you have your own goals and your own dreams
And that's what you got to follow, you know, and that's what we did
Yeah, no one that y'all stay with our his like let's get married and promise and other like how does that feel to denote if I
just saw a video that went viral with somebody had proposed to that girl
reactions from the other than being funny and they should have picked somebody else like knowing that that still hit like
it's love it's an amazing feeling like you know we saw when this other day like we definitely
didn't get us to be a one-hit wonder right and we definitely wanted to have a career
that was filled with longevity so when you see things like that you realize you don't
hit your mark a little bit but we ain't done though but yeah it feels good though.
All right we got more with Jagged Edge when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning
Everybody is DJ envy just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club Jagged Edge is still in the building
Jess saw an interview
Beyonce dead like three y'all off of a
What happened with that? We were just trying to holla at B.O.S.
You know what's so amazing?
When it happened, somebody said to us,
y'all gonna be talking about this for the rest of the year
and he was damn right.
Y'all still be talking about it.
I know what happened.
So basically, we was on tour with Destiny Child
and at the time, Matthew was our manager
so we were sharing the tour bus.
Us and Destiny Child, we all on one tour bus.
How big was that bus? It was huge. It was a tour bus.
And so, you know, I think it's probably well documented that LaToya has had different issues
with, you know, the crew.
This particular night, LaToya's mom was on the road, Miss Pam.
She was sick.
Shout out to Miss Pam.
And Miss Pam obviously had issues with the crew.
So Matthew called, even though he wasn't in the city, he called back to the road manager like, you know, Miss Pam ain't getting on that bus. obviously had issues with the crew so So yeah, I mean, but you know, we just felt like whatever the issue is, it can't be that serious that you're gonna leave somebody out here.
Right.
And you're not even here.
And you're not even here.
If it was your mom, you know what I'm saying?
Y'all did it the same way.
Exactly, we did it the same way.
Hey man, you know, we're from the South and you know, we mama people.
So we kind of felt that like, man, we mama boys and we had an obligation, but we wanted
to whip Matthew. Hey, I was not gonna do that.
I was like, we'll get you.
By the bathroom at one of your concerts, we gonna air your ass out.
So, shouts out to Matthew for not going by that bathroom when I was up.
The story goes, so, because you were dating Latavi at the time, Brandon, and then, so she
told the story on the radio station.
She was saying that you stuck up for the group.
Like you were the one about to go off. So you was at the bathroom.
Well, we all did.
But I definitely, I went in the room with the girls.
You know, I just seen it.
Like, like I said, like if it was my mother,
it would have been worse than that.
Like I would have turned, it would have,
it would have gotten nasty and ugly.
So I didn't want it to go that far.
So I tried to have a conversation with the girls.
I couldn't talk to Matthew.
He didn't, he didn't make himself available.
But you know, I tried to make himself available. But I tried
to make the other girls who was in the group with Latoya, support her. And they all just
kind of let me know that they had different issues with Latoya and her mother and that's
why it was this bad.
Even to be fair to them, because I talked to Kelly about this after that. And it got
to a point where she even felt like, well, at this point it's out of my hands. Once Matthew
took control of it
They didn't feel like they even had much of a say anyway, so you know
I did want to ask too. They used to put 112 against you guys right?
Absolutely, and it was it was a thing was it ever a beef or was it just always fun? It was Charlemagne did it man
It was never a real beef like I don't know how many people know this
but them guys like brother stuff.
Like out of all the male groups we've been on shows with or just been around or in our
era I should say, 112 was our closest friend.
So yes it was never a real beef but it got a little testy at one point.
At what point and what happened?
What was the reason?
When we was coming back from a tour we was on,
and we was pulling to the city,
me and Kyle was together.
The day the album dropped.
And we heard.
Y'all kicked him out the bus this time?
No.
We just heard him on the radio talking some trash,
and me and Kyle just made a beeline of where they was at.
I'll take him out braids.
I ain't braided him, man.
We ain't even done it.
We ain't even said it.
It was just me and him.
We knew how far we was there.
We didn't even care.
We was ready to do whatever had to be done.
Why didn't they say I was that bad?
They was doing something.
They were doing something in Live Remote.
But Q said something like, how could Jagged be the best group?
They only got two lead singers, a cheerleader and a rah rah man.
And I said, hey, I'm the rah rah guy. You know what I'm talking about?
You're a man, G.
We mad, man.
Me and that guy went up there on the list,
and then we went, nothing happened.
Like nothing happened, but we wanted to.
Who was supposed to be the cheerleader?
Man, that wouldn't matter.
I guess it was Wingo, bro.
I guess.
And I honestly think, like, Ryan,
because they was trying to put us on tour together.
So Ryan was trying to create something to drive the traffic.
But you can't do it without telling us.
You know what I'm saying?
He was taking a piss at everything they was doing.
We could talk back really good.
You know what I mean?
But y'all wouldn't say that when we was in the room, no way.
Yeah.
So that's the issue, too.
We ain't doing that.
How often do people bring up the Cisco fight?
Oh, shit.
What the fuck?
Come on.
The Cisco fight.
He spared that man.
Wait, wait, wait.
I spared him.
He was in the dressing room
messing around.
John knew Cisco.
He tried to do some flips
in there.
He was trying to do something
about how you say up top, had to
sun him. It wasn't about nothing. He was trying to do something about how you say up top at the sunum At the sunum sunum
It wasn't about nothing
It wasn't about nothing
Yeah right and it ended up getting you know
You know how you play to each other
I guess he ended up getting serious
Kyle was still trying to play
Yeah yeah he was getting it well
I was chilling
And I ain't finna do all
I know I wasn't the aggressor.
But I wasn't with the bullsh** either.
Like chill out.
It's on the video.
If you can see I'm like yo man chill out and he was trying to like oh man I'm losing this.
You gotta lose this.
You notice he didn't throw that one.
I was saying he spared him.
He wasn't really doing them dirty.
I was like y'all finna have a f***** walk out.
I'm the fans and everybody's still both on me.
You're the out-fix.
Me and him was already gone.
We were already gone.
We knew it was show, we gone.
We gone.
We out there.
So y'all squashed all y'all, y'all, y'all f**kin'
I don't make no sense.
It's so R&B.
It's so R&B.
You know what, you know what, you know what,
you know what, quiet as it's kept,
we f**ked all the groups.
Some of them have had issues with us,
some of them f***ed everybody.
Straight up, I got respect for all of them.
All of them.
So what is gonna be, what can we expect different
from All Original Parts?
Where did that title come from?
And just for the record, y'all know,
they not bumping this in no Trane's disco.
All original parts.
Yo, you stupid.
I don't know who made that up.
I don't know who made that up.
Y'all gonna have to open this up.
That's crazy.
No doubt that's too funny.
Y'all was following on that.
I know yo.
It just signifies the fact that since groups have been a thing, they've all broken up.
You know what I mean? And Jackson's broken up a thing they've all broken up.
The Jackson's broken up.
So us being the one group who's never broken up we wanted to capitalize on that and that's
why it's called All Original Parts.
I remember when y'all made some of those classic records and did y'all know they were going
to be smashes as soon as you made it?
Like when you made Let's Get Married, when you made Promise, did y'all know like oh this is gonna be it? We did kind of I ain't gonna lie like you
know even when you look at songs like um he can't love you right every song we ever put
out we understood what it should be doing like we understood the only reason to drop
he came before let's get married was because he can't sound it like nothing on the radio
at the time we knew let's get married was gonna be the bigger song but we knew if you
come in a song like this,
it sounds like nothing, it's gonna make that role
for Let's Get Married even bigger and easier.
You know what I'm saying?
And it did, it did.
We kinda have been.
You know Let's Get Married is gonna be that legacy song
that when y'all going, your kids going,
your kids' kids going, y'all know what I mean.
Ami, this man was mad that we dropped
He Can't Love You First.
He was like, we gonna strut through a show.
My first time hearing Let's Get Married my pain on a record like that again you know
saying because at the end of the day I knew he can't love you was super dope it
was a smash but let's get married and I'm you know again I'm one of them anxious
guys you know, again, I'm one of them anxious guys, you know what I mean? Let me tell you something.
It's the setup, it's about the setup.
And Promise, Brandi, you wrote that for Batavia, huh?
No, not for me.
I wrote it for me.
She said it's a little different.
He said, I wrote it for me.
I've been feeling this question since she did that interview.
Listen, we're a team song, we're a songwriting team.
No matter what my piece of the song may be about, that don't mean the whole song is about
that. You know what I'm saying? Because I think when you're a songwriter, it's not always
an exact story. Sometimes it's pieces of a story that you're turning into one story.
So yeah, there was a piece in there about LaTavia.
Okay.
Absolutely.
All right, we got more with Jagged Edge when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ
Envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club Lauren is with us as well
We're still kicking it with Jagged Edge. Now. I feel like nowadays brothers don't beg for the vagina
The girls don't got to, we never did. The girls don't make them. There you go. The girls don't make them. It's not even that they don't, it's that the girls don't make them no more.
We got to.
Because he can't love you, it's at 18.
You cried for it, and the girl back at home, you was outside her house for it.
Real talk, yeah.
It was full of play back then, you know, you had to lead up and just like, you know, it's
going to take about an hour and a half.
You had to walk for it.
So you were, you was like hell pressed to not let it go.
So it's a lot different now.
I think that's, you know,
it's too much homeboy love out there, man.
It's all good to have your homeboy love.
You're damn right.
The music be about the guys loving their homies.
You know what I mean?
They be all the guys loving on the way.
I mean, I think all that's necessary,
like you need your team, right?
That's a necessary thing, but you don't want to put too much attention there and then your
girl feeling some type of woman.
I mean, what you said, I ain't not a good drop, but you said in the club, I mean, VIP
section, full of girls, like back in the day used to be.
You see like everything, because like, sometimes I see them talking and you're like, man, I'm
gonna kill these n****s when I hit the streets and then we need to be like
I'm a kid
Think of like an R&B group, you see the type of me come out and talk. They're just dressed like they're about to shoot an ice game.
We want to shoot an ice game.
Like some thug love type shit.
I used to love seeing them in my offensive video.
Now you got into a car accident, you broke your neck.
Well I was in two car accidents inside of like nine months.
Damn. The first one, I just broke my leg in two places
I had some wrist contusions and a knot on my head and in the second one what happened in the car
Did you fall asleep or no? I was coming down the street like you know how Atlanta we got all those
You know do a u-turn to turn
So I'm coming this way. There's a car sitting right here, and I'm and I'm knowing he see me
I see him and as I get this close then he wants to turn
So even though I stopped my brakes as hard as I could I still hit him. He was at fault
Like I said just towed my car up towed me up, but the next one was really that's what really messed me up
Jackknife. T to call it T-Bone
T-Bone
T-Bone right
When somebody's right in the middle of your car like that
I was sitting at a light and on that accident, I'm sitting at a light.
And I hear these shots ring out.
Next thing you know, I guess the person who got hit, he lost control of his vehicle and
he just squirreled right into my vehicle.
On the driver's side, his side.
I broke my neck.
I had five broken ribs on this side, one on this side.
I got a scalp laceration right here.
Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up
there?
We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons and birds, but what if there's something
else, something much more ominous that appears under the cover of night, silent, unseen, watching.
They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road, or look
like mysterious lights hovering above your home.
Drones.
Or are they?
We used to work drone because it was comfortable to other people.
One minute it was there, one minute it wasn't.
Oh that is beyond creepy. We used the word drone because it was comfortable to other people. One minute it was there and one minute it wasn't.
Oh, that is beyond creepy.
Do you feel like this drone was targeting you specifically?
Yes, absolutely.

Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs,
but it's time we know the facts.
Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs
and used to make fake versions of prescription pills.
You can't see it, taste it, or smell it.
Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products
because it's potent and cheap,
and the dealer might not even know.

I know it was pretty emotional for us.
I saw you on Tamra Hall when you talked about it,
and you got emotional.
For the rest of you guys,
when you all heard about the second car accident,
like what were you guys' reactions and like kind of what was that like for y'all as well?
I was scared because I didn't know what to expect. You know what I'm saying?
And I'm gonna keep it real. I don't have my license, but don't worry about that.
This man ain't never had a license. Hey man, that's a car. I've seen him in a couple of cars.
You drive a car.
They never had a license.
They pulled over a hundred times.
Hey yo man.
But, but I mean, you know, my wife was like, you know, once I heard it, I'm like, baby, I gotta get out of here.
I'm damn near falling down the steps to get in my Uber.
And, but in my mind, I'm damn near falling down the steps to get in my Uber. But in my mind
I'm just praying. I'm like, Lord please don't come. I mean it's such a cliche like I say
to hear about artists, plane accidents, motorcycle accidents, car wrecks. And then it's like,
this is the second one? You know, so we got up in it. When I got there, because I know
the other guys are showing up, I seen them and I'm like, okay
Okay, he's not what it's still him
He won't take it Nick Brace off
For me, you know, it was the worst day of my life
I'm gonna lie to you because the way I heard the call somebody told me first
They told me he got shot because they heard the gunshots.
They said he got shot, then he got hit.
So, you know, this is my guy, you know what I mean?
Like, whew.
Yeah.
You know what I mean, I can't talk about it either,
but I can get it.
Yeah, you got the gunshot, you got the gunshot.
Watch out, watch out.
Yeah, I tell you, bro.
And for me, I mean, you know, again,
I'm gonna always say this, man, a family that prays together stays together, you know what I mean? So I immediately just. And for me, I mean, you know again, I'ma always say this man,
a family that prays together stays together,
you know what I mean?
So I immediately just dropped on my knees man
and sent one up, you know what I mean?
God fixed this, you know what I'm saying?
That's all, leave it in your hands.
Thanks, I'll praise you the most.
And he did it, he did it.
Do you look at life differently as a group
and just people because it has to change
the way you look and the way you move.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
When you say goodbye to your girl and your wife and your kids. Absolutely. It has to change all of you look and the way you move. Absolutely. Absolutely. The way you say goodbye to your girl and your wife and your kids.
It has to change all of that.
For all of us.
You just never know when it's that time and think what it was.
Let me tell you something, man.
We're so blessed to be here.
You got to think, like 15, we met each other at 15.
We had our little fights and gripes, but we understood the mission.
And that's to keep God first, stay together first again
after that and we love what we do but we love each other.
And we knew our mission was like you said a lot of songs back then R&B was a little
soft, it was still a good song but still was kind of soft and then you had some of those
kind of freaky and so we definitely came up with the concept of where we want to speak on behalf of brothers
like DJ Envy, Jagged Edge, who wear Timbo,
who wear Jordans.
Y'all said, we just not throwing them in the soup.
Be more relatable, man.
And be more relatable about, hey, I'm hurt.
You hurt me, baby.
And we need to talk about this.
I promise to stay there with you,
although you may be going, I want to learn what
I need to do better.
So we knew that the message was more powerful coming from
something real instead of something that the label or the audience kind of expect
those are deeper than that you know music has a message behind it.
I'm super glad of the route we took man we never wanted to exclude anybody
from my music.
Or, you know what I mean, like a school of this certain sale to this certain block or
this certain type of people, you know what I mean?
One thing about we all have in common is we have loved somebody or wanted to love somebody,
you know what I mean?
And that's a universal language for us, you know what I mean?
Love.
So that's what we're going to promote.
Now y'all got some songs that people love that I don't know y'all gonna be able to do
on the tour or not.
Like the Nasty Girl, the Trade It All.
No, no, see.
No, no, there you go.
I just know.
Yeah, I just know.
Cause I got songs and if I come I just need to know like, is that it?
I love all music now.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
We've got like a lot of, a bunch of new record stations.
Okay.
Along with what we are.
But that's not what she was alluding to.
And I know what she was alluding to.
I'm asking the question because I think, you know,
people, I know for me, if I come out into midnight
with you guys, I do want to hear,
Traded All is my song, Nasty Girl is my song.
Let me just say this too, right?
Diddy, that's my brother, that's our brother.
We've had a good relationship.
I can't speak on nobody else's,
it ain't my business, right?
But at the end of that,
I can only did with my interactions
with the man, and I'm talking about plenty of them.
After being around him 30, 40 times,
I never seen nothing that offended me.
He's never offended me.
He always made sure if we was in his space,
we felt welcome.
And like I said, all the other things
that other people talk, they can have that.
Now I had an uncle went to jail for 11 years.
Let me shout out my Uncle Larry. I had an uncle went to jail for 11 years. Let me shout out my Uncle Larry.
I had an uncle went to jail for 11 years and he was always still just my Uncle Larry.
Then changed to the point where he's some different guy because he did some messed up
stuff, he's still my Uncle Larry.
And it's the same with Diddy to me.
At this point, you know, I don't know if he's innocent, if he's guilty, but that's my brother
and that's all I can say about it.
Pray for him man.
Pray for him. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, damn right. But I do want to ask, trade it all. He's guilty, but that's my brother and that's all I can say about pray for
But I do want to ask trade it all we all surprised he called y'all and not in that one
We got more songs with him than they do we got like before That's why he said the cheerleading and the rah rah. He was mad about that. The team was like, get to the bottom of it.
You know.
The album, definitely pick it up right now and we appreciate you guys.
Man, thank y'all for having us.
When did tour start?
March 26th.
Dallas.
March 26th in Dallas.
Ladies and gentlemen, there you have it.
It is Jagged Edge.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Jess with the Messes Up next.
The news is real, whether it's the Polaris, Jessica Robin Moore, Jess don't do no lying.
She don't spell nobody.
Worldwide Jess.
Worldwide Messes Up.
On the Breakfast Club.
She's a coacheship.
She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could
get you to see.
It's time to set it on.
Okay, Lauren, so real quick, what is the difference between this doc, this documentary that Eddie
is suing for and then the other ones?
Because we can say, yo, if you're going to sue one network, sue all of them, because
it's about nine documentaries out of Ochi. But what, what you're going to sue one network, sue all of them, because there's about nine
documentaries out of O2.
But what is it specifically about this one?
So the Diddy documentary that we were talking about in the last hour, that question came
up in the room.
And so I had someone that reached out to me to clarify some things because they were listening
to us live.
So shout out to my source.
And what they pointed to was that, so all the other documentaries, like y'all, I don't
know how many you guys have watched,
but I watched a couple of them.
A lot of them, especially like the TMZ ones or whatever,
they lean heavily on like the legal filings,
like the actual docs.
And that protects you to a certain extent
because someone has put these things on record
with the court and you report it according to docs.
In this specific documentary,
what they're saying is that they leaned into stuff
like I'll be sure saying specifically that Puff was responsible for Ken Porter's murder, that
Puff was responsible for him being in the hospital during that time when he had all
that stuff happening.
They talk about Ariel Mitchell also alluding to Ken Porter being killed by Puff.
So basically, what they're, and they also bring in Jaguar, right?
And basically what they're saying is because these people and these claims are so like far left
and they can't be backed up by anything.
Yeah, this is kind of like a easier,
this could be an easy win for Puff
because the network is gonna look at this stuff and say,
okay, how do you prove that?
How do you prove that what I'll be sure is saying,
put them on this platform and say it's real,
all the other people.
So from-
So if he gets that money,
then he'll be able to use it to his legal fees.
But you know, we all know that the defamation is one of the hardest things, especially when
you're a public figure.
Yes.
So you know, once again, I stand on the fact because I know that's probably Diddy's team
reaching out to Lauren.
I stand on the fact that this is a waste of time and energy because you should be focused
on focusing that time and energy on your legal case.
They're probably hoping that they settle out but I was about to say
Allegedly though like when they're telling their story do they say allegedly or they're telling the story like it's fact
I don't remember the exact word for word
But I think even even people think we say allegedly it's like a bulletproof shield
It's not like you can steal if you those things that they lean into on a platform like that if they can prove any harm
You know we've done in Malibu protection for public figures it like at all things that they lean into on a platform like that, if they can prove any harm, you know what I mean?
There's no protection for public figures at all.
Defamation is one of the hardest things to prove.
I don't know.
Well, yeah.
So, I'm sure they're hoping that they settle.
I just wanted to add that little bit in there because I know we left it off kind of hanging
and I wanted to add that.
Yeah, I'm sure they hope that they settle out so that way they don't have to go through
the process.
So, if he's suing one thing for a hundred million.
He's hoping that maybe they cut a check for five, you know what I mean?
So they don't have to go through the process procedure.
Maybe I don't know.
We'll see.
Moving forward to Drake.
Yes.
Drake!
Right.
We've been talking about Drake a lot recently.
The girl you guys been talking about, Diddy, Drake, A$AP, all them three.
A lot.
And Kendrick.
Yes. So yesterday Drake dropped a pre-sale for Sexy Songs for You which is
the collaboration album that he's doing with Party Next Door. Oh that's what that was?
Yeah but he dropped the pre-sale from the OVO website. So when I saw it I was like oh
shoot is Drake pulling his like Kanye vultures like I don't need the industry, the industry
need me, direct the consumer. Oh I thought it was because UMG won't put his music out what is a lawsuit going and I thought the screaming platforms won't put
a lot of aren't they
Book and traction Lee aren't they post to I mean if that's what cuz in a contract they still have to I mean
Not in the middle of a lawsuit, you know
I would say they don't have to put it out
But if he chose like it I don't know what the conversations behind the scenes are well
And I will say I was trying to figure out and confirm whether this is going directed consumer or not fully or was it just a
Presale envied and it's gonna be on DSP's as well
So it will be you can be able to stream it and all that as well, but it's gonna be through UMG though
No
Allegedly won't be through Universal
That's okay
Yeah, so I mean I guess it's still to our point then like so if it comes out on DSP
Then it's not the universal universal be able to take it down. Maybe do Sony maybe do another distribution place
Yeah, you're gonna take it down
How though cuz his did cuz he has a whole deal for OVO with maybe another distribution place like Sony
Well, won't you MG be able to take it down?
No, not if you think about it if you got a deal over here with Sony and you release music over here
How can you have another Drake can't have another deal some welcome?
Dr. OVO have a situation with Sony I remember that OVO has another situation
Yeah, but Drake is Drake's sign to OVO. I don't know. I'm just asking how can they stop that?
That's like I'm going to do on a feature and they pull the feature down
Like if you go do some callit or whoever right now, they can't do that
Drake clears his own music Drake clears his own music, but I'm assuming that it won't be through universal
But maybe the assumption will be through Sony. Well, basically what I'm trying to say is that somebody at Universal
I got sources. Yeah, please ask because
All of the fans like when they saw this they were excited but I think even Eli hey Eli in here OVO Eli
He brought the precept
He's the definition of a yo when I say he was so excited,
and I was asking him, I'm like, so when you buy it,
what happens?
And they send you an email just like you checking out
on their website.
I don't listen to Eli.
Eli got OVO Timbalands.
Okay, I didn't even know they made OVO Timbalands.
And they got fur inside.
That's what I'm saying.
Why are we listening to him?
He got him jacked.
Apple Bottom Timbalands with the fur.
I don't even make those things.
Apple Bottom Timbalands is crazy.
Well, and speaking about the-
Apple Bottom. Go ahead, go ahead., and speaking about the- Apple Bottom.
Go ahead, go ahead.
Thickums, thickums, yes.
Why you smile like that, Jess?
Because we can't think.
Them jeans sold out.
Remember we talked about the jeans?
People have been out there buying them bootcut jeans because they can't think.
I know that's right.
But the Super Bowl though has also, people are still reviewing it.
I bought a pair for Bae.
For who?
Bae.
The Celine? Your wife? Who, Clu? You. No, yeah, I'm not your Bae. I bought a pair for bae for who bae your wife
You
He was in here he was in here looking at looking at them photos crazy when Kendrick had them jeans on too Maybe that's why he wanted you
But no, that's why you got a wax yesterday
So wait, so yesterday kaisa night cuz he was at the Super Bowl
He dropped his review to Super Bowl and he was, I was surprised how honest he was,
but it's kinda sparked a little backlash.
Let's take a listen.
Oh my God, they add sound effects to the NFL.
Oh my God.
All right, so right here, there was no sound.
I just heard crowd sounds.
All my life right here, there was no sounds.
They add crowd effects?
I did not know that.
I was there.
The loudest times that they made, check the loudest time of the crowds
That was I think him being shown for the first time
SZA Samuel Jackson being shown for the first time and then they're not like us but
One thing I will say though although the vows was not good
No, they were they were just not the performance like like up until then I like us
But what I will say is the symbolism behind that performance was top tier why are you shocked by that
like why are you shocked by him being honest um because I feel like a lot of
times when people get to the point where he's at they try and play favorites so
to get on there and tell the truth like that if I got there by doing exactly
what he's doing right there by giving reviews. I agree but you when people get to that point. I was a little confused about it though. Why was you confused?
I was a little confused about it though. Like cause it was just you know that's an example of like when you just see a clip of something
I'm like alright what is he doing this for? Like what is this? Like is you know what I'm saying?
It was just like a little. He's giving his opinion just like you do. It was messy. Yeah, alright, and I'm giving my opinion about his opinion.
I'm thinking, I thought, like, at first when I saw it, I thought it was a little messy.
Like, what you mean?
Like...
Why is that messy?
Clearly, because clearly, I said at first, nigga, damn!
At first, I thought it was messy because of how he had said it.
Like, oh, the crowd was choir-y.
They was not effing with the performance at all like it was and they came back and he
said like oh I know it was I thought he was just dragging him yeah thought he
was just dragging him what you mean your opinion because of some place you was
at and in talking about what you observed is not messy in no way shape
before well the TD manager I guarantee you, I guarantee you,
I can do that and I can make it messy.
Like, it's ways that you can do that.
You know why though?
You know why?
And making it messy is ways that you do that.
You know why?
Because you are messy and you package it
and it's called just with the mess.
Okay, even when I'm not being just with the mess,
I still can make some things messy.
And my news is real.
Yeah, hurry it.
But yeah, at first I did,
but then I'm like, all right, whatever.
But they said it came from someplace else, right? Didn't TDE say that felt like it came
through something else?
Yeah, well, there's been, yeah. So they, TDE manager, Hollywood spoke out and said that
he was, that he basically feels like Kai is just upset because he couldn't get into the
suite that TDE had at the Super Bowl or whatever. So they basically are trying to say like,
either somebody's pushing him to say this stuff or he's upset because he
couldn't get into it. Why can't people just have an opinion? Art is subjective. Everybody's
gonna have different opinions about people art. Some people love the
performance, some people didn't like the performance, some people don't even care.
That's just the world we live in. Yeah. And look and for the record when you ain't
effing with something you booing it. You know what I'm saying? You ain't quiet.
They was quiet. Quiet is better than booing
Understand that that is true down if they don't f with it. All right, we listening
Okay, cuz we don't really notice well
We don't know nothing this music and looking forward to knowing everything at Super Bowl is usually like a party like a concert cool
We don't notice so we quiet and clearly
Kendrick did a lot a lot of things right cuz he's got the number one album in the country this week.
So 230,000 copies.
Those are first week numbers.
He's going to have, I think three of the,
the number one, two and three song in the country this week.
He won.
And he sold out the Apple bottom jeans boots with the front.
Yeah, exactly.
He won.
Wrapping up y'all.
Hip hop took over Superbowl.
And that was just with the mess.
Charlamagne, we give it a donkey too.
Man, four after the hour, there's a teacher in Louisiana
that need to get beat up.
We'll discuss.
Jesus, all right, we'll get to that next.
It's the Breakfast Club, come on.
You're checking out the Breakfast Club.
I was born a donkey.
It's the donkey of the day.
Look at these donkeys.
Donkeys.
What the f**k is that, yeah?
Just time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty fun. Charlamagne the devil. Don't get a day for Thursday, February 13th goes to the administration at Rollins Place
Elementary School in Zachary, Louisiana.
I wish I knew the teacher's name.
I wish they released the teacher's name.
I don't know why we protect people who do harm to children.
Yes, this teacher at Rollins Place Elementary School
mentally and emotionally harmed a child.
I first want to send positive energy, love and light
to Jamisha Augustine in Louisiana.
Drop on the clues bombs for her.
Okay, I am so sorry that your six year old
had to deal with a lame ass teacher.
And there's yet another reason why I think
that if you can homeschool your kids, do it.
Okay, my oldest homeschools right now she homeschools right now
because she wants to and we are just in an era where these teachers they just
don't care like they used to. I'm not saying all of y'all okay there are still
some great teachers out there but as the son of a public school teacher I
understand the empathy and care one must have for kids in order to be a teacher. And a lot
of y'all just don't have it. Okay do we understand we drop our most precious
gift off to strangers every day we entrust our hearts outside of our bodies
these souls that God used us to bring into the world we drop them off every
day for hours at a time with people we don't even really know. Okay yeah we know
the teachers names but we don't know really know. Yeah we know the teachers names but
we don't know what type of time they really on and that's why I have so much
love for teachers who actually care because they don't have to. But if you
are going to be in that position as a teacher you have to. Okay it's an act of
public service and this teacher at Rollins Place Elementary School you
failed. Alright who's grading you because you need to be left behind for what you made this six-year-old child do.
What's the news network, Eddie?
W-A-F-B.
AFT?
AFT.
AFB as in boy.
Let's go to W-A-F-B for the report, please.
Jamisha Augustine is fuming with frustration
after adults forced her six-year-old daughter
to clean up feces following a potty accident in class.
Augustine recalls filling out forms for no dairy.
Despite the food allergy, her daughter consumed milk at school for breakfast.
After drinking the milk and multiple trips to the bathroom, Augustine's daughter defecated
on herself while in class.
Augustine's fury came when she recalls her daughter answering questions about what unfolded
and the lesson they were trying to teach her child after having a reaction to
something she's allergic to. You'll send a janitor in with the proper equipment
to clean up but a six-year-old kid you're gonna make her clean up poop
without gloves or anything but besides that it's just disgraceful it shouldn't
be going on in high school it shouldn't have never happened. Augustine says again
when she enrolled her daughter in the school,
she submitted doctor's notes about the dairy allergy. Augustine tells us,
she met with the school system to make sure they stand by what they say they're
going to do. Hey man, that teacher should have got beat up. All right.
There's so much about this story that triggers me. Number one,
I have four beautiful daughters, one is six right now. Number two,
I am lactose intolerant. All right.
I feel this young girl's pain when it comes to dairy. I don't even like looking
at cows. Okay I totally understand why the Chick-fil-A cow has been on a
campaign for years to get people to consume more chicken. I can't do red
meat because of my high cholesterol and I can't drink milk or consume any dairy
products because it gives me the Hershey squirts. Okay imagine when it's not much
ketchup left in the bottle so you squeezing it and it's coming out and squirts and it sounds like the bottle
farting. You know what I'm talking about? We get it. We get it. Yeah I can't do ice
cream, milk, cheese. If I do any of that cold brown. Alright backdoor sprint, bubble
guts runs when you walking up the ladder and you're hearing something splatter
diarrhea, diarrhea. So yes I feel this young lady's pain and what I don't
understand and why violence is often necessary. This mother, Jamisha Augustine,
told the school her daughter had a dairy allergy. They didn't listen. This young
girl kept having to go to the bathroom okay because she drank some milk in the
morning when she was supposed to. If you a teacher and you in adult period you
know something about lactose intolerance right? If you know a teacher and you're in a dope period, you know something about lactose intolerance, right?
If you know anything about lactose intolerance, then you know this little girl wasn't playing.
There is no such thing as telling a kid she's going to the bathroom too much when she has diarrhea.
She couldn't control her bowels. But instead of having empathy and caring and being there for this
young lady, you decided to tell her no, enough is enough. and she ended up pooping all over herself.
Kids are cruel.
They will tease her relentlessly for this.
Okay?
And then you decided to make her clean up her own feces without gloves because you wanted
to teach her a lesson?
Nah, we got to squabble.
We got to squabble.
Jamisha, her mother, should have came in that classroom and knocked everything off your
desk.
Okay? Just all of this one right arm. Just for dramatic effect.
And then she should have knocked your head off. Okay? You got a husband?
That little girl daddy should find him and beat him up too.
No, no, no, no. You made my daughter clean up her own backdoor brownies with her bare hands.
We all gotta fight. Tag team back again.
Alright? Me and my wife against you and your husband
There is no way this woman can consider herself a good teacher
And if you are making your own daughter do things like this, then you're not even a good parent
It was an accident. The young girl was experiencing something she couldn't control and that something is diarrhea. How about
Let me make you a large McFlurry with xlax
Then make you drink some coffee.
Then make you take a shot of Hennessy.
Okay, that's always been a laxative for me.
I even make you eat some Mexican cuisine.
Okay, I make you do all that
and then let me prevent you from going to the bathroom.
Now what?
Let me tell you something, teachers.
There's a good lesson to learn from Dr. Seuss, okay?
The Lorax.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot
nothing is going to get better it's not you have to start caring about these
kids please give Roland's Place Elementary School in Zachary Louisiana
the biggest he-ho
person like that shouldn't even be teaching that ain't funny I'm not even
joking because you have to care six year be teaching though. That ain't funny. I'm not even joking.
Because you have to care about these children.
You ain't let this little girl go to the bathroom knowing she got diarrhea, knowing
she lactose intolerant, and then you made her clean up feces with her bare hands and
she's not fit to be a teacher.
It don't matter if she was 10, it don't matter if she was 12, like no, hell no.
I'm with you Charlamagne.
Me and my wife, we gotta go squabble up.
Then call your mama and call your pops cause now a
Grandpa and grandma want to come and squabble up to like we the whole family squabbling up
Six year old pick it up diarrhea. Nah
No, you can't be well, yeah, you gotta wipe it up with paper towels and tissue
You know oh my gosh
Your baby is which me thanks humble Molly and tumble Ashton. Oh, all right you said my baby
Big girl fast in Baltimore
fast in Baltimore. Molly 12 right now. Molly 12. First of all, she definitely is a big baby. She's definitely about to be six months. But yes, I can't yo. Schools are just, it's not it for me. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Up next,

So Jess, well first off, happy birthday Jess. Good morning, Charlamagne the Guy.
Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up
there?
We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons, and birds.
But what if there's something else, something much more ominous that appears under the cover
of night, silent, unseen, watching.
They may be right above your car late one night
as you cruise down the road or look like mysterious lights
hovering above your home.
Drones, or are they?
We used to work drone because it was
comfortable to other people.
One minute it was there, one minute it wasn't.
Oh, that is beyond creepy.
Do you feel like this drone was targeting you specifically?
Yes, absolutely.

Good morning.
I appreciate y'all having me.
So I am a single father.
I have so custody of both of my oldest daughters.
I'm pretty much doing it by myself,
but when it comes to my oldest, she's 10.
She thinks that, you know, right now we believe
that she has abandoned an issue
because her mother's not in the picture.
But it's like, I don't know what to do
to try to fix the behavior.
She's lashing out at school, she's lashing out at home.
She's not wanting to listen.
She thinks that she can make her own decisions.
You know, she tells me all the time that I don't have, you know, the emotions to deal
with her, but it's like, I just don't know how to even, like, it's either I'm strong
in a father figure or do I try to replace that mother figure?
Yeah, so what are her problems?
Like, what is she doing?
How is she acting out?
She's not listening, back talking.
When it comes to school, she honestly believes that she knows more than the future.
And when it comes to other students, other kids, you know, she's strong willed.
She's very smart.
I feel like she needs to talk to somebody, you know what I mean?
And maybe her mother, somebody that can connect needs to talk to somebody, you know what I mean? And maybe her mother,
somebody that can connect with her like another woman, you know, maybe she would benefit from
having a female therapist, you know what I mean? Like just somebody to talk to because
maybe she feels like you're unequipped because you are her dad and because you know, you
are, you know, the man of the house and she, so she's not your only kid. You said you got
two older daughters?
Yes ma'am.
I have a 10-year-old and a 9-year-old now.
I have cut three.
Yeah.
And it's OK if you don't know what to do.
You understand what I'm saying?
If you don't know, how long has her mother not been there?
Going on three years now.
Her mother just left the state and went back up north.
OK.
And see, like, just.
Got involved in...
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
So, you know, I understand.
He don't even need to...
You know, so, her mother just basically left, you know what I mean?
And that was when she was around seven.
I'm assuming you said she was ten.
She's ten now.
Yes, ma'am.
She's about to turn eleven.
Yeah, yeah.
The last time she called my mother she was eight.
My mom left when she was eight.
Yeah, seven or eight.
You know, her... My mom left when she was eight. Yeah, seven or eight. She was not even mentally developed enough
to realize either why her mother left,
what she probably blames herself.
It can be a host of things, you know what I mean?
Like, and it's okay for you to not know what's going on.
You just need to move forward
with what type of help you could get for her.
What do you need?
What do you need?
You know what I mean?
And it still has to be boundaries established there. You know, she's not supposed to disrespect her dad.
You know, not supposed to, you know, but at the end of the day, we don't know what she going through in her mind.
So I think she would benefit from talking to a therapist. You know what I mean? Like a female therapist for sure.
And I will tell you that I have that in place. They come to my house three times a week.
How long has she been a therapist?
For about a year and a half now.
So it's just not helping?
I'm doing my best.
Sometimes I just don't know what to do.
And that's okay.
You're being transparent enough. That's fine.
It's all types of daddy groups that you can get in. Somebody feels your pain. You're not the only dad going through this.
Maybe that therapist ain't the one for her, you know. You ain't supposed to just stop at one.
Maybe that's not the right person for her. I understand
that she has therapy, but you don't just stop there. You need to find the right person for her.
And then with her being so young, it might take a long time before she finds somebody
that she actually is like makes her feel safe enough to open up about what she's going through.
You feel me?
I understand.
I get it.
Don't give up though.
You know, change therapies.
Or I can't.
Figure it out.
I'm all she got.
So and I wasn't raised like that. Yep. Keep that in mind. like that Yep, keep that in mind y'all gonna be all right y'all gonna be all right. I appreciate it. Thank you. All right, brother. Good luck

Now we got Jess with the mess coming up.
What we talking about hell
Yeah, gilly sat down and the club shake shake. He said you never catch him in the rock nation brunch band fake
All right, we'll get into that nexus the breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club
Warning everybody is DJ envy just hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are at Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the Mess. You need to just real quick.
This is the line, Jess Kerr-Robin Moore.
Jess don't do no lying.
Don't do no lying.
Tell my baby.
She don't spare nobody.
She don't spare nobody.
Worldwide Jess.
Worldwide Mess.
Come on, you need to tell me more.
On the Breakfast Club.
She's a coacheship.
She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could
get you to see.
It's time to set it all.
All right.
So my man, Gilly, sat down with Shannon Shaw at Clip Shae Shae Lauren.
Yes, he did.
And the clips are beginning to make the rounds.
It was like over a two hour interview.
It was really great.
He talked about a ton of stuff.
But one of the things that he talked about was the rock nation brunch and Jay-Z.
You know, there's been little issues there with them.
So let's take a listen to that.
How you learn about the music industry?
I learned that all of that s*** is fake.
All of it.
That's why I don't go to no parties.
They call us, right?
They say, Gilly, we want to invite you to the Rock Nation brunch.
I'm the s*** that's here.
Why would I want to come?
Why wouldn't you want to come?
I said the Rock Nation brunch ain't of nothing but jay-z putting a bunch of on the lawn and then going in the back door saying
I told you I still run this give me the money
Wow, you think I'm letting it use my brain they come to me and dollars worth a game cuz we move the needle
I don't let nobody allow to use my
Brand don't even smile with you if you ain't worth 500 million or more
Tony smiling he do us when the billionaires in the picture look at all these broke ass
on the law.
I ain't with none of that I don't want to party with you.
I built the way for myself.
Now Gilly you guys know because he talked about it when he was up here with Wallow a
minute ago that you know him and Jay Z had their issues because he feels like it was because Jay-Z didn't he didn't sign a
Jay-Z with the Major Figures group after that group or whatever so he then
talked about that he talked about being blackballed by Jay-Z as well. So back in
the day, Hove tried to sign my group Major Figures. It wasn't just Hove it was
Dame Dash it was Rockefeller. I didn't feel as though that the contract was
right so I didn't accept it. Jay and Dame came back with the offer. I didn't feel as though that the contract was right, so I didn't accept it. Jay and
Dame came back with the offer. I didn't like the offer. I thought it was a slave deal.
I thought we would have to sell a trillion records to make some money, so I turned it
down and that was the situation.
But what transpired after that?
I mean, some things, you know, some things were said about making it difficult for whatever
For you to be in this game.
You know but...
Does that happen a lot?
Yes.
If you refuse to decide with someone it's like okay you're done.
You're not going to work in this industry.
It happens a lot in this game.
It would be interesting to hear Jay-Z's side of the story on all of these stories we hear
different people say about him on all of these podcasts and YouTube and everything else.
I'm sure you'll never have because Jay-Z don't really talk much.
You'll never have.
It will be interesting one day.
Jay-Z never really responds to much.
Because there's always two sides of the story.
You only just ever hear one from everybody.
It would be interesting just to hear what he would have to say about it.
Y'all know the internet going internet.
They wouldn't start grabbing photos from the Roc Nation brunch and put them side by side
of like Jay-Z standing with like the people that you know are like the billionaires and then
everybody else and he's like smiling not smiling so they were running it down
what you about to say Jess? Is this something that was has been said like a
lot about what Jay-Z smiling with the billionaires and not with the rest of
the people or no I mean just with I mean to Charlamagne's point like what you
know you said you want to hear his side of the story and not like, you know,
Oh yeah, Gillie's told me, yeah, Gillie's told the story for, but I'm just talking about
not just Gillie, just everybody who all the stories that people have. It's Jay-Z news
every day from somebody.
But why would you care if you were Jay at this point? Like, why would you care? Like
why I'm fine. I'm a billionaire. I got a wife and family. Why?
But if he ever sits down with the right interviewer, they're going to ask him these questions.
100%.
Now, Gilly also got into some details around his son's murder.
Let's take a listen.
I just read about the 17-year-old basketball player, straight-A student.
Am I wrong?
Gilly used to be like the athlete.
They got protected.
Right.
Nobody touched him.
He was from the block. He got out. They out they protected those guys what happened that's who killed my
son the 17 yeah the 17 year old basketball player that just got shot 17
times yes that's who killed my son really yes it wasn't for my son your son
happened to be there yes oh them blocks is beefing. They going through it. My son just so happened
to pull up out there five minutes. They come to shoot the block up. My son's not from that
block. He don't you feel what I'm saying? Yeah, he just so happened to be in the wrong
place at the wrong time. That's a tragic story, man. That kid was a student athlete by day
and alleged killer at night. Allegedly. Yeah, Now Gilly's son not home because of it.
Like, I don't know, man.
Yeah, and that one, that's the first time that you,
I've heard Gilly directly even address those rumors
that that basketball player was connected to his son.
Oh, those were rumors?
That was something that was out there?
Oh, those were rumors.
Yeah, if you listen to the whole context,
I listened to the rest of what he was,
I listened to it in context.
He was saying that the police were about to make an arrest.
So after he got killed, the police came to him and told him it was this kid and some
other kids.
Yeah.
Because the blocks were beefing.
Yeah.
And it was online, but like you didn't know for sure.
But then Gilly just kind of like confirmed the conversation that was being had.
But he also had some things to say about Miss Jess Hilarious as well.
Jess Hilarious took a shot at your Gilly song.
Oh, what's Jess say?
She was just at my Airbnb yesterday too.
What she called it, Cornelia, that you eating chicken
and licking your fingers in the video.
That's basically it.
No, I can say a lot of things that I thought just did
was corny.
Oh, there you go.
Then we go.
I love Jess hilarious.
We're not going to do that.
I think Jess is hilarious.
Why he can't lick his fingers in the video, Jess?
You talking about the Chicken Man video?
That was so long ago.
That was because when Quavo and Chris had, wasn't that,
around that time, when Quavo and Chris got into it or something,
and he was saying that, didn't he say, it was something he was saying that I didn't say it was something he was saying that nothing happened
Oh brown about somebody showed you the chicken man
Well, you ain't yeah
You the one that showed me the chicken man
And I was like what?
About the yes you did he was like he had a song called the chicken man
And it was a video with YouTube he dropped in It was a funny song ever so when I seen a video my really clucking like
No, really so I that's what that was
But I love you I was at his Airbnb, but not like that y'all because you know how that's gonna send people going crazy
He is married. Yeah, that's my homie while away and gilly are both my brother
And that's what I was gonna say is like you know you hear questions like that, but you don't understand people is no context
That's fam right?
Absolutely nothing will love for gilly and wallow always
well
Next we got some Kanye mess
That's why I even asked you to go there now only going we were going to stretch out the ghillie. We had yet
Well, we you didn't have my jokes. I was waiting for you to go back and say the chicken was fried or something
That's it. No, that's all I had about it. That's it. Well, I was going over call you
Does not know you on the damn radio
I'm on a radio. Nye!
Oh!
What up, Nye?
They're throwing rose petals on Jess in her studio right now.
I miss you, Nye!
Because it is Jess's birthday.
And they're singing Happy Birthday to Jess at the crib.
We don't have a ratchet happy birthday song or something.
We can drop.
Yo, Nye said, later for yay, happy birthday to you.
Thank you, Nye.
Happy, thank you, Nye.
Thank you so much.
Aw, happy birthday, Jess.
We started to do a shot, but you said you was out already last night.
I know, girl. I was bringing in, yes I, I was. But you about to tell us about him
being dropped from a talent agency. I just didn't believe that he had an agency anyway.
No, I was going to tell you how he had an agency. Anyway, I'm like, that's crazy. Who
would have him as a client?
It was Ty Dolla Sign that dropped him after the talent agency. So Ty Dolla Sign said he
doesn't condone any form of hate speech toward anybody, which was a big deal because they dropped him after the talent agency so The thing about Kanye is he is not a victim in any way shape or form. He has bought all of this on himself.
But he keeps doing it and I don't understand why.
Me neither.
Like he keeps like, he wakes up like, kids will today.
It's not because Kanye got allegations, nobody accused Kanye, everything.
Kanye literally goes out of his way to antagonize.
I don't want to say people forgot but people kind of forgot and like he was doing the bully
sting and they just let him be him.
Well they did. First of all, first of all. He just dove right back into it. The Jewish community. They never forget you right?

It's Black History Month, what we doing?
Man, salute to my guy B.Dot.
Everyday during Black History Month,
B.Dot puts out an episode of
I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Neither.
And today is February 13th, 2025.
It would have been the 67th birthday
of B.Dot's mother, Irene Palm.
And so B.Dot wants to honor his mother
for Black History Month.
Take it away, B. Dot.
On today's episode of I Didn't Know,
maybe you didn't either,
I'm gonna start with something personal.
On May 5th, 2024, I lost my mom.
She was complaining about her stomach hurting,
so we took her to the ER.
Hours later, she was still in pain,
and they finally moved her upstairs to the ICU.
45 minutes later, she was on a breathing
tube. Her organs were shutting down because of sepsis and just like that she was gone.
Now let me tell y'all losing your mom is hard enough but when you're black baby who didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
So let me tell y'all losing your mom is hard enough but when you're black you have this
extra layer of PTSD. Why? Because you know black women are often dismissed in the medical
field they're overlooked ignored and it's not just a feeling it's facts there's a book
Medical Apartheid by Harriet Washington, and
it lays out the long dark history of how black folks, especially black women, have been used,
abused, and experimented on in the name of science, from slavery to right now. Let me
break it down for you. Did you know there is still this misconception that black women
have a higher threshold for pain?
And I know, mama made miracles every Thanksgiving, every Christmas, and every birthday, but then
white doctors were thinking black women were superheroes for real.
Oh, she's black, she can take it.
What?
And if you want to know how deep this rabbit hole goes, let's talk about Henrietta Lacks.
Sis went to the doctor in 1951 for cervical cancer and without her knowledge, they took
her cells.
They're named them HeLa cells, H-E-L-A, and those cells turned out to be immortal.
Like they could survive and multiply in labs which had never been done before.
They helped develop vaccines, cancer treatments, IVF, you name it.
HeLa's sales have saved millions of lives.
But here's the part that'll make your blood boil.
Henrietta Lacks never gave consent and her family never saw a dime.
Pharmaceutical companies made billions off those sales while her kids and grandkids
were struggling to pay for
health care. It made a bunch of dollars but it damn sure don't make no sense. So
when we talk about black folks in the medical field we're not just talking
about distrust we're talking about a system. A system that has dismissed us
stolen from us and experimented on us without shame. And for me every time I
think about my mom's last hours, it's hard
not to wonder. If she wasn't black, would they have taken her pain a little more seriously?
Would they have moved faster? These questions haunt me, and I know I'm not alone. That's
why it's so important for us to know our history and advocate for ourselves, because if we
don't speak up, who will? Medical Apartheid, a book by Harriet Washington, was something that
I didn't know, maybe you didn't either.
Alright, well happy Black History Month.
That's right, salute to my god, be di rest in peace to your beautiful mother, Irene
Palm, beautiful tribute that was. And make sure you subscribe to I Didn't Know Maybe
You Didn't Either on the Black Effect iHeartRadio Podcast Network.

Trying to step to me for what?
Yeah, yo, cause you had started a rumor about one of them
niggas being the cheerleader back in the day.
A cheerleader?
What kind of cheerleader?
Yeah, when you was putting up against them,
you was putting them up against 112 or something like that.
Oh, during the verses?
You started the rumor.
Yeah.
So no, no, no.
This was back in the Dizzle.
Like, back in the day, they said that you had said one of them
was a cheerleader, and you said the other one, only two of them could sing or something, and the rest of them, one was a hype man and the of them was a cheerleader and you said the other one only two of them could sing
Or something in the rest of them one was a hype man and the other one was a cheerleader and Kyle came to step to you
About that. I don't remember that no, I don't but I don't remember a lot of things
They said I don't he told him to say I don't but salute to Kyle. You know, I just need everybody to know I can fight
That's all I'm gonna let you
I'm gonna let you
Jump you they said they jump they jump people they don't fight fair now be honest with you I don't even be remembering that stuff, you know, I was on a lot of drugs and a lot of alcohol
But it's all good. You know, I mean, I mean, I don't I need to hear the context of what I said before I
Apologize for there is no context about that because I don't believe that I don't believe, why would I say he's a cheerleader?
That wouldn't make much sense.
Why would you say a lot of the things that you would say?
Seriously.
I just thought I'd say in the context of that.

all over herself and then she made her clean
the poop up with her hands.

Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts.
Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription
pills.
You can't see it, taste it, or smell it.
Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap, and the dealer
might not even know.
Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on fentanyl.
Get the facts. Go to realdeal deal on fentanyl. Get the facts.
