Let's get into front page news. I don't know what's wrong with this guy this morning. I'm not saying NBA sports. The Pistons beat the Cavaliers 107-97 and the Thunder beat the Lakers 125-107. The Lakers was so hot last night after the game. They were saying that the reps didn't give me any calls. They were so upset last night.

Nobody and nobody are their mama thought that the Lakers had a chance of winning the series against O KC. Cut it out. Damn, they're not good? Okay, C is OKC. Okay, so he's better. And Luca's not playing all three. No, Luke is still out. Yeah.

Reasons playing. Yeah, Reasons playing. Okay. Tonight, the next take on the 76 is at 7, and the Spurs take on the Timberwolves at 930. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Mee. Jeff Chaldemand, how y'all doing this morning?

Hey, he's Mimi Brown. Good morning. So we start this morning in Tennessee, where Republicans have now approved a controversial new congressional map designed to break apart black voting power and eliminate the state's Democratic seat in Congress. So we told you about this yesterday, and now that vote has happened. This new map splits Memphis, a city that's about 64% black into three separate congressional

districts, spreading black voters into neighboring majority white areas all the way down to Nashville. Right now, Memphis is home to Tennessee's only majority black congressional district, but under this new map, that district is essentially dismantled. Now, once the voting started taking plays yesterday reaction inside the Tennessee Capitol, it quickly turned chaotic. Let's listen to a little bit of that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let's remind ourselves that

while we're hearing this special session. Mr. Trooper, please clear out that balcony over there. Please clear out the balcony. Leader Lambert. Mr. Clark. Speaker, I yield her. I yield her. I anger by time. Please take the vote. House Bill 703

having received a constitution. majority out here by the clerk passed with objection to motion resetters table. Jesus. Yeah, it was very, very chaotic. And so what was happening is a lot of the black members in the house, they stood in front. They were holding arms, locking arms, state troopers. They were eventually ordered to clear the galleries as protesters screamed. They chanted, and they refused to leave.

Democrats and civil rights groups, though, they say this goes far beyond politics, arguing that the map is a racial gerrymandering aimed at directly weakening black representation. Let's listen to Tennessee State Rep, Justin Pearson. We are here because this Republican Party has to seek to steal elections and seats because the president and the party have refused to address the pain, the suffering, and the struggling of everyday Tennesseans. This is about attacking, targeting, and cracking. District 9 into pieces for more political and racial dominance and white supremacy in the state of Tennessee. Well, Pearson is running for District 9 for Congress, and so this map, this new map will just write him right out of the running for that seat.

The Tennessee NAACP, they've already filed an emergency lawsuit, calling the map illegal and unconstitutional. But you guys, Tennessee may just be the beginning. Louisiana has already delayed its primary elections, to redraw its congressional maps. Alabama is currently in a special session trying to revive a map. Federal courts have previously struck down as racially discriminatory. Florida, they've already approved new maps last week. Now, Mississippi and South Carolina, they are under growing pressure to follow. And speaking of South Carolina, Congressman Jim Clyburn, he's the only Democrat that South Carolina sends to Washington.

Well, he's also sounding the alarm this morning. he says Republicans are now trying to remove him and redraw his seat. Not because voters demanded it, but because Donald Trump requested it. He tweeted that on X. In South Carolina's primary is less than a month away. Absentee ballots have already gone out. And today in South Carolina, lawmakers will hold a major hearing on their new map and on whether to delay that primary itself or to let the date stand as is.

So what are the solutions? That's what I need to hear. because we already know Republicans are doing everything they can to steal these midterms, everything you just laid out, Mimi, but what can be done politically to stop to steal? Because the messaging sounds crazy when you say Republicans are stealing elections, they are weakening your vote, but the way to combat it is by going to vote. And yeah, well, that's a great question.

And I have an interview later with Justin J. Pearson, because my question to him is, what can people do? That's the question that a lot of people want to know. What can we do? I know that the NACP, they're suing the state of Tennessee, but what do we as a people, how can we fight this? Is there anything that we can do? It feels like the fix is in, but there's got to be something,

or is there something, right? Definitely seems like the fix is in. You can't, because it'll discourage people from voting, right? When you tell people that, you know, they're stealing the elections, which is true, they're weakening your right to vote, but the way to combat it is by voting. It's like, huh? Yeah.

But you can't consider it. You can't give up. No, you can't. But that's what I'm saying. What are the solutions politically, I think? All right. Well, yeah. Go ahead.

I'm going to say, well, what are you talking next hour? All right. Well, coming up at 7, a new warning about a global health scare, health officials and a dozen countries, they are on high alert. Yeah, we're going to talk about this. Well, break down what's happening and if you should be afraid of what's next. Just start drinking your hand sanitizer now, man. You can drink your hand sanitizer.

Put your mask on. What else we was doing? Who was the last person that said drink police? No, no. You think said bleach. That was Trump. The president said, you just get a little bleach.

This is in six feet. What else we got to do? Oh, my goodness. Get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. If you need to vent, call us up right now. Again, 1-800-1-505-1. Get it off your chest.

All right, but I understand what Thanos was saying, that we got to get rid of a few to save the masses. because I told my cousins that we needed to think the ship about three weeks ago.

And now they got people that's off the ship roaming around the world, and they've been that past this stuff around. You know what's interesting? You know it made Thanos' theory so great because it was fair. He didn't pick and choose. So it might be your ass. So if that's what you want for people, if that's what you want for people, when you turn the dust and your family turned the dust, okay, remember, this is what you wanted,

linked to like three deaths already. So she'll break everything down. What's going on with that, how you can get infected and should we be scared and nervous? Well, they said it's harder to catch it than COVID, but it's 40% more fatal. Correct. Yeah.

I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-105-1. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Big O out of Birmingham. Bees, Big O.

What's up, Big O? Hey, hey, uh, just hilarious. What's up? Coming back, you towns with your show when you were supposed to be coming. When? You never rescheduled. When? I may not win.

Where? Where? I'm sorry. Alabama. Birmingham, Alabama. Oh, yes. I'm still trying to get a date with Star Dome. I'm sorry.

You know, like... Yeah, Jesse came, but you didn't come. Yeah, I couldn't. I had to reschedule. I'm sorry. I don't just reschedule for nothing, bro. I'm sorry, but I didn't get a date yet from Star Dome. You know, Bruce don't own a club no more, so it was different management.

I got waiting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's so that joint. Yeah, man. Y'all like the new people? I mean, it's still be booming? Yeah, I ain't gonna say all that. All right. Don't even say, don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it. I'm going to make sure I put my agents on it, man. But I am. It wasn't canceled. It was reschedule. We just try and get a date. They're not as responsive as Bruce was. Yeah, yeah, I get that.

I get that. What's up, Shalameh. What's up, King? Listen, you ever been to Johiana, Joe Hiana Asian restaurant? Yeah, yeah. I love that restaurant. I love it.

Yeah, that's my home girl spot. Salute the Shun Love, man. Yeah, yeah. What's up, Envy? What's up, how you feeling? Man, I'm good. I need you all to stop giving my girl, Oh, uh, uh, uh, look at you don't even know what's Lauren.

Lauren. Lowering? Yeah, y'all give a hard time. Hey, man, y'all got daughters. Stop talking about that young lady early in the morning. Exactly. What you think I don't talk to my daughters? You keep me and my daughters don't got jokes?

I love lowering. Man, but if a man was cracking on your daughter talking about her ball spot every morning, you'd be going to go upside as it. But, but my daughter would have him jokes. folks back, ready to go. And Lauren being hit, like, punching back, you know, she'd be fighting for our life in the ring. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got that, I got that.

But I'm calling because I love your show. I love y'all. Thank you, brother. But I don't think it's very healthy for the community to have people like Dana White and the others on that basically are disenfranchised in the community when it comes to certain things. So why not have them?

Why not have them on and have that conversation? Even when you have a conversation, I have to say this. Most of this audience don't even have passed a third grade reading level. Damn, don't disrespect by people like that. Man, listen, I saw a video of people that didn't even know how to pronounce the word, silhouette or extraordinary. Hey, yo, silhouette is one of the easiest words to identify when you first said, brother. It's not.

an easy word. I've been knowing that word because I was in 15th when I was also going to 1900. If you are, because you're proven this point. If you already can't read a word like silhouette is not easy to read if you already don't read.

You know what I'm saying? No, that's not what he's saying. They can't even pronounce words like silhouette. You got to listen to everything he said. He said people read on the third grade and read them. You're proving it in right. And they're like, I don't know what that word is. Right. Yes.

So you teach. Teach. Teach. But, man, listen, these are kids that's walking around in high school, and they don't know what the word silhouette is. People do need to read more. I mean, that is true. Yeah.

But there ain't a way right now. The current president of the United States is talking about having a UFC fight. When people out here are hungry, people starve. And my man, Freeway said, when my sneak start leaning and my heat stopped work, my heat started working. I'm going to rob me a person. Listen, you're not wrong. But let's have the conversation.

Like, don't knock it until you hear the interview. Let's have a conversation, man. Yes. It's just like I asked somebody the other day, I said, where's my man Cornell West? Where's Jill Stein? Because we're out here suffering, and they said they were going to do something now. Cornell, you know, Cornell's still talking. Cornell don't never stop talking.

He'd be on an Abby Phillips show on CNN a lot. Jill Stein, you're right. I have no idea with Jill Stein. Thank you for checking in, bro. All right, y'all have a good day. Thank you. Have a good week. Get it off your chest.

800-58-105-105.1. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. What's up, Lauren? Good morning. Lauren. Lauren. That man told you. That man told you, you got daughters.

And you my knees and be mindful about your daughters and all that other stuff. And his mother's day weekend. I'm not a mom, but I'm not a mom. So I got a mom, so just act like you care. And she got jokes. Okay. No, my mom is. She got jokes.

Yeah, this weekend is going to be pretty. interesting. We're having a sleep over this weekend. I'm so excited. Oh, really? Yeah, we do mother, yeah, we do mother-daughter sleep over my whole family every year. They've been doing this since like before I was born. That's fine. To sleep? Wow. Wow. Why? We have the latest coming up? Yes, we do.

What we talk about? So, yesterday we talked a little bit about Kodak black being arrested down in Florida, but I have updates and I spoke to his attorney who tells me they believe that Kodak has been targeted by police down there. So we're going to get into some exclusive updates that we have. Lauren. Lauren La Rosa. We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast.

I'm Cynthia Loy. And I'm Josie Dye. And we're done pretending we have it all figured out. Each week we laugh, cry, and talk our way through life's messiest moments. The things you think about but would never say out loud. The questions you are always too shy to ask. Relationships, regrets, awkward moments, and the stuff no one warns you about. It's honest, it's funny, and sometimes it gets a little uncomfortable.

But that's kind of the point. This is Cynthia and Josie's unmentionables. Listen on the free I-heart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Each episode, we pick it here, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line.

We also have AIDS on the table right now. Thank you for finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple.

podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. So good morning. Let your talk, LL. Cube. Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everything. The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.

Take me through that. Take me through that. The latest with Lauren Lose. On the breakfast club. L.L. Coobe. Talk to me. All right. So yesterday, we broke some exclusive details on the story about Kodak Black being arrested down in Florida. And I wanted to just do a brief update there because he did have a hearing yesterday.

Bond was set. He's all good there. But I spoke to his attorney yesterday, Bradford Cohen, who told me the details about, you know, Kodak Black, this is in response to an incident from November 2025 where police searched two cars. Kodak Black was not in the cars, but he was outside of one of them. And they found a pink Louis Vuitton bag that had. some cough syrup in it. They alleged it also had MDMA in it and some money. Now, the police were telling Kodak's attorney yesterday when we talked about this, that the reason why they charged

him with the drug trafficking was because there were handprints or fingerprints found on some of the things within the bag. Kodak's attorney called me yesterday after we got off air. He was pretty upset because he said that once he was debriefed again by police, they said that actually they had no fingerprints. And the only reason why they were able to charge Kodak with the drug trafficking was because of a photo that they found on Instagram from a week prior to the car searches that showed the pink bag that they found in the car and a pair of scissors and a lighter

that were found in the car that were also in these photos as well. So Kodak's attorneys are pretty upset about that because they feel like there's no way you can link them to these items. Anybody could have purchased or had these items in the car. But in court yesterday, Kodak Black, when he was asking for a smaller bond, the judge made it really clear that the fact that Kodak Black asked for some of the money

back that was found in the bag. The judge is like, well, there must be some ties to you in this bag, but they'll debate that on the court. They ended up setting a bond at 75K, even though Codex attorneys were asking for 10,000. The state was asking for 50,000. And it sounds like the judge just thinks he may be, he might not come to court because he's had a failure to appear before.

So there will be some more developing there, but Codex attorneys basically feel like he's being targeted because they feel like all of this is nonsense. So we'll see what happens. Now, in other news over in L.A., Netflix is a joke. It's going down. guys have probably been seeing this all over your timeline.

And not for sure if everyone knows what it is. But Netflix is a joke that weekend happen in L.A. is considered one of the largest comedy festivals in North America. So they have over 350 live events from stand-up acts, special events, podcast recordings, and they bring the biggest names in comedy out. I've been seeing things of like Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart's there. I saw Donna Rillings. They did a brunch yesterday for all of the comedians.

And there's a video of like all of the biggest comedians. many people. I gave the video to Jess and I'm like just name who you see in this video because they are there's so many names. They do that every year. Yeah but I feel like this year a lot of people are paying more attention to it. I think it's because we've been loving on our our comedians a bit more this year but Eddie Murphy Lunnell Nate Jackson Asian dude to be with Theo Vaughn I don't know his name

I bet Matt Reif, Earthquick, Donna Rawlins Miss Pat Dionne Cole, Wanda Sykes and it's like a bunch of people because in a video where Donnell is panning yeah he's moving pretty quick but it's like a few others I've seen Adam Sam. Yes. Yeah, it's like, it's moving so quick, but it's all of them in one little sudden. Yeah.

Amazing. 85 South Show wasn't there? I know they got a, they had a whole set at Netflix. They were there, but they weren't at the brunt. But yeah, I know Ms. Pat has an event this weekend coming up as well for the weekend. But yes, I just fired a seat. And I saw a article, Seth Rogan. There was an event, I guess, that he did.

And the Daily Beast was there. And at the event, he was talking about the fact that he feels like Kanye West should be able to make a comeback. And what he's referring to is the fact that there were reports that Dave Chappelle was doing like a small set. And during the small set, he brought Kanye West on stage. And he's he separate Rogan is basically saying Kanye shouldn't be being brought on stages and shouldn't have a number one album right now because of all of the, you know, the anti-Semitic remarks. So I saw that pick up in The Daily Beast as well too. And that was an event from Netflix as a joke as well.

But yes. Well, that's his opinion. But you can't control what people still like. Right. You know what I mean? Like that can be your opinion that, you know, he may not be able to make a comeback. But the people decide that. Yeah, that's his opinion.

And if Kanye, he apologized, right? He's been still apologizing. I'm not sure if people accepted his apology, but he did apologize. And people always say when somebody apologize, you give him grace and he's what? You're right, but everybody, here's the thing. Everybody doesn't have to accept your apology and everybody doesn't have to cancel you. Right. And that's not ever going to happen.

That's the way life is. Right. You know. But I understand, I understand Seth's opinion, but that's just his opinion. Yeah. And speaking of comedy yesterday, I saw the skit that Drewskiy posted. Did you guys see it? Hilarious.

So he's talking about British action. Let's take a listen. You ain't going to big city. Mouse ain't going to lecture. I'm going with or without you. Rudy, stop talking like that. Hey, what are you doing over there? We got to get out of it.

Hey, what are you doing? Rock, Rudy, Rudy! And cut. Fantastic. I need more American slave, okay? Like struggle? Yeah, the struggle. It's sort of like the dialogue, like the back and forth banner.

Absolutely. All right, three, two, one, action. I'm telling you a . If you're . I'll kill you. Go to be fucking dog. Fri.

No family in this. We're not family. That's the one. That's stunning. That was stunning. Great performance. Working with a good London boy. And I, I bought them all the time.

I had a call with a director. It was kind of quite quintessential to the road. Are we allowed to show this on Netflix? It's a better visual. Yeah, you got to see it. But break down with this. He's making fun of. He's making fun of that conversation of the British actors

come over here to America and take the American actor's role. So you literally see him going in and out of being this deep, you know, American actor and all these like slave films and these deep dramatic roles. And then he goes right back to being regular, you know, a British man who has no American accent whatsoever. Heavy British accent and is breaking down. And even the way he does the interviews when they talk about the directors and the quintessential roles was really good.

But it sparked another conversation about, you know, British actors coming here to America. But not only was it funny. This was really good. Like this was really good. out, planned, written, like Drusky is a jeans. Yeah, Drusky is on a generational run right now. Absolutely. And what makes Drusky, what he's doing so impressive is it's just him.

Yeah. Like, a living color was a cast. Mad TV was a whole cast. The Pell Show even had a cast. Key and Pieler was both of them. Yeah. Drusky is just him dula. Yes.

You know, I mean, of course, he got his production team. Yeah, but I'm just talking about him. I'm just talking about him. I'm just investing in his production. Because his production is dope for social media. Amazing. Tier one. And another thing I like about

is everything folks argue about because we live in just a talk chat era. he just puts into his sketches. It's not even satire. It's just social observations. The megachurch skit, the conservative woman skit, the British actor skit.

These are the things people have been debating for years and Druski is you know, like man, F-wasting words. Let me just show you what I'm talking. I love how great of an actor he is too. He's not only funny. He's a good actor too. Killed it, killed it, killed it.

Yes. Well, that's it for the latest. And in the next latest, we'll get into the verses that went down with Rick Ross and French Montana. Oh, damn, that happened. Oh, my God, I missed it. Not too many people knew what happened. Yeah.

Damn. All right. When we come back, we got front page news. And then Dana White will be joining us, president and CEO of the UFC. And today, Charlemagne allows you to give somebody don't care today. So we open up the phone lines. If you want to give somebody don't care today, 8005-105-105.1. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Charlemaine the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front-page news. Start up with sports last night.

The Pist's 1597. the Dundle beat the Lakers 125-107. Now, the Knicks to play in the 76th, 97. In Philly, the Spurs take on in Minnesota and Timberwolves 930. That series is tied 1-1. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Mee. J.S. Charlotte McHan, how y'all doing this morning?

Everybody's been asking about this virus now, Mimi. And a Montana virus. Listen, this virus, I don't know. I'm going to just tell it to you, like, the facts, but here we go. So we start this hour with a global health scare, right? So three people are dead, and this morning health officials, at least a dozen countries are racing to track down passengers from a cruise ship at the center of this hanta virus outbreak so that ship it left argentina in march it was bound for the canary islands

now somewhere on that voyage the virus got around the world the world health organization has now confirmed five cases with three more suspected a dutch couple and a german national have died and the passengers they have since scattered and here at home in the u.s health officials they are monitoring seven returning travelers across five states. Those states are Arizona, California, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia. And now there are signs that the virus, it may have spread beyond the ship. So there was a flight attended on a KLM flight. She was in the Netherlands. She's now been hospitalized after coming into contact with an infected passenger. So if she test positive, she would be the first confirmed case linked to this outbreak who was never on that cruise.

So that's a big deal. That's something to watch out for. So officials say this Andy's virus strain of Hanna virus is one of the deadliest, and it's one of the few that can spread from person to person. Let's listen to a Who official explain just a little bit more. The Andy's virus can have some human-to-human transmission. So for our point of view, from a public health perspective, this is what we are assuming, and we're trying to take the maximum level of precautions, balancing risk. This is not the next COVID, but it is a serious infectious disease. You know, it's an infectious disease that if people get infected, and infections are uncommon, they can die. And so, again, people hearing this that are on the ship are, you know, very rightly so scared. And the general public might be scared as well. So early information, accurate information is critical, knowing what your actual exposure might be. And most people will never be exposed to this.

That's scary. Right. That didn't calm any fears. The hand of virus, though, it is typically carried by road. It's spread to humans through contact through their urine, their droppings, or their saliva. And the World Health Organization, again, they are stressing that the risk, they do remain low. It does not spread like flu or COVID, but the investigation is moving really, really fast, and it's moving across borders.

And the outbreak is renewing questions about the public health oversight on cruise ships, especially, I don't know if you guys heard this, that health secretary, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, he oversaw cuts to part of the CDC their cruise inspection and their sanitation programs including staff tied to monitoring outbreaks and inspecting ships for health risks. So once again

this was someone's job that got cut. Yeah, it feels like 2020 all over again. Remember Trump cut a lot of Obama's pandemic team and then, you know, later on you started hearing about COVID being a hot spot on cruise ships. It was also during an election year, you know? So, I mean, it just feels like that time.

I'm all over again. If you ask me, they're going to do everything in their power to keep y'all home. Okay, they're testing all waters. They're like, okay, let's see how the redistricting goes. That don't work. Release the alien files. That don't work. Let Hannah go on the people. Goddamic. I do have a question. If they knew the virus was on the boat, right? Why did they let the boat dock without figuring that all out? Because they could have just contained it on that boat until it was taken care of. That's the big question, right? And then right now, countries are trying to figure out how to get the people off the boat, right? How do you do it where you don't spread? it even more to I was reading about Spain

like they're trying to figure out how to get the people you know in their country off the boat it's a mess in me I don't know I really don't know like you said they say it doesn't spread as easy but I didn't read that it's 40% more fatal than COVID but no one wants to get near it right

like whether it doesn't spread as easily or not it's it's the unknown about it I think and they said it's the wind from like you said eroded urine and feces. Yeah, but the thing, it doesn't spread that easy,

but everybody got it. Like, what are we talking about? I know, everyone got there. Don't start that. We already spread misinformation. Everybody don't have it. How many people on the boat got it?

You know what I'll say three? It was a total of, well, five people died, right? Three more suspected. Hold on, let me tell you. The lady, the flight attendant. They're not all kissing each other, so how are they getting it?

They don't spread as easy, but they got all kissing. Somebody white doing the shit. You don't mean? So, so three people are dead. and at least a dozen other countries are racing to figure out if other people have it. They really don't know.

It said as of May 7th, 2026, there are three suspected cases of Hanta virus linked to the MV-Hondia cruise ship outbreak in addition to five confirmed cases. The World Health Organization has reported a total of eight cases associated with the ship. So they know everybody got it. If you don't get on the radio spreading misinformation already.

I'm just asking questions. That's why I can ask. That's why I ask a question. You just everybody got it. Everybody gets it. I wouldn't know how people got it. But it feels like everybody on the ship, you know, they may have, we don't know. I'm with you to be. You don't know.

There's so much we don't know. That's what makes people scared. That's how cold is. No, there's nothing. It's like you. Don't worry about it. Stay six feet away. Stay six feet away.

You'll be right. No. A lot of those people were right. Let's not act like they weren't now. In hindsight, they were right. It was a big, it was kind of a, I don't want to say overreaction. Because you never know, but it, yes. Yes.

A lot of those people were right. Yeah, but the people was dying from that. Yes. 100%. People died of flu. Millions of people die from the flu every year, do. Yeah, I get it. Seven million people officially recorded died from COVID.

So, yeah, no, they ain't over. Niggas were taking it serious enough at first. Yeah, so this is something to watch. No matter what they say, this is just something to watch. Put it like that. Yes. No matter what. All right, y'all, well, that is your front page news.

I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me. I Mimi Brown TV. And for more stories, follow the Black Information Network. All right. Thank you, Mimi. And listen, we got. We got Dana White about to join

as president and CEO of the UFC. But also remember, today is Friday. So if you want to give somebody to donkey here today, if you want to give somebody the credit they deserve for being stupid, you have that opportunity. Call us 1005-805-105. Did you hear about that 28-year-old woman? I think we talked about it. I can't remember.

The 28-year-old woman that said she was a student and was in school for like two weeks in the Bronx? You heard about that? No. Oh, my goodness. I told you the greatest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. You ain't never lie. Like Charlemagne said, you want to give somebody donkey today?

call up right now is the breakfast club dana white's up next morning everybody is dj nv jas hilarious charlemagne de guy we are the breakfast club long the rose is here as well we got a special guests in the building sir president and CEO of ufc ladies and gentlemen dana white welcome good good how are you how you feeling this morning i'm good i'm good yeah you ever get tired of running around and going from city to city and doing handling fight to fight do you ever it does it ever get tired yeah it gets uh i'm busier this year than i've ever been with all the other things I've taken on, but yeah, no, it's all good. Sometimes traveling starts to kick you in the ass a little bit, but especially as you get

older. It's all good. How long have you been around MMA? 25 years. Well, I mean, I guess you say 28 years, but I've been doing this for 25. Started taking Jiu-Jitsu in like 97 and fell in love with the sport, and that's how we ended up buying the UFC. What made you jump into martial arts?

Was it protection board? Well, you know, I was always involved. in boxing and then my old partner Frank Fortita and I were out at the hard rock one night in Vegas and we ran into a guy named John Lewis who fought in the UFC at that time and he had a jiu-jitsu school in Vegas Frank's like I've always wanted to try jiu-jitsu so we went over to him we talked to him we set up a lesson on Monday and that was the beginning of all of it did you see the UFC exploding the way that it did yeah I think that when we got involved in it we became so passionate

about it and it was so different than boxing. The fighters were different than boxers and we believed that it could be big and could work everywhere. I mean, I've always had this philosophy. No matter what color you are, what country you come from, what language you speak, we're all human beings and fighting's in our DNA. We get

it and we like it. I mean, even if you say you don't like fighting, if a fight broke out in that room right now, we'd all run over to the glass and watch the fight. It's just human nature. You don't know somebody got a gun. So you got to stay, you got them back and we're not like you, Dana. The White House correspondent's and like, oh, that was exhilarated. Doing those gunshots.

You're exactly like me. You would absolutely watch the fight over there. But people give you a lot of credit for building the UFC into a global empire, right? But they also critique you and say you still underpaid fighters compared to like boxing or, you know, NBA, NFL, even WWE. How do you justify being worth billions of dollars, but some fighters still need second job? Yeah, well, listen, I mean, I'm sure some basketball players and baseball players still need second jobs, too, until they make it. What we do is we bring guys in and pay them, you know, guys make like 10 and 10 or 15 and 15 to come in and fight. You might last one fight, you might not be great, but as you start to prove yourself and, you know, listen, there's always going to be talk about fighter pay.

I'm in boxing now, and all these guys, all these boxers are signing with us now, too. So you're always going to be criticized about something. But how come when the fighters talk about unions and the collective bargaining, the UFC acts like it's the enemy? Like, why are you doing that? We don't act like that's the enemy. I mean, if the fighters wanted to unionize, that's up to them. It's not up to me.

Okay. Yeah. So you encourage it? Sure. Listen, we always have to deal with somebody. Got you. It could be a manager and agent. You know, everybody's gotten into some of the biggest lawyers

and, you know, and the world have gotten into this. Agents, Hollywood. I mean, everybody. We always have to deal with somebody. We have to negotiate with somebody. With UFC being so brutal at times, was there ever a concern with them not approving the fighting in certain states or certain places?

Because, I mean, like boxing, it seems like, you know, it's round, right? There's a referee to stop it. But sometimes UFC is like, they're going to beat the issue out of them until you actually dies. Listen, some of these fights, believe me, there are fights that I sit there and watch

when it's over, I go, what do I do for a living? This is insane. But when you spend the right amount of money on health and safety. Before they get in there, during and after, and the 30-year history of the UFC, there's never been a death or serious injury. Even after the craziest fight you've seen,

cheerleading can't say that. You said cheerleading can't say that. Yeah, my daughter, the competitive cheerleading, they get hurt a lot. A lot. Yeah, yeah, fall on your head. My daughter in high school was part of the, you know, the hardcore competitive cheerleading,

and she was so busted up in high school, it was crazy. Yeah. but 30 years no death or serious injury in the UFC Not a lot of many sports can say that Yeah Damn they be beating out of each other

Right? That's so true It's so true Now we're talking about the White House Corresponders then a little bit You said it was fucking awesome Yeah, a unique experience And everybody was saying how you didn't get down When the gunshots, you know, went off

Why? Because you know it was staged? I don't know I mean you don't know how you're going to react In those type of situations until you're in them But you know being a guy, first of all, we're sitting there, and they just set the whole thing up, and they said, we're going to eat, and then this thing's going to start.

What, they're shooting? No. The show. They were going to serve dinner first, and literally they had just brought the salads out. And I was sitting there talking to Pete Hegsith, and I don't hear well. And my left ear, I'm 100% deaf in my left ear.

So I didn't hear the shots. All I heard was plate smashing and glasses and these guys. I turn around and literally 50 guys are coming through the room and they got their guns out. They get the president and the vice president and all the media people off the stage. And now the stage is filled with people with guns pointed at us with the lights on the end of them. And everybody's yelling, get the fuck on the ground. And I just was like, holy this is incredible. If you think about like the greatest,

movie you've ever seen and you watched the way that these Secret Service guys came into the room and how they were, I was just like this. And to be in a situation like that and nobody gets hurt and even think about this, the media that were in the room that night were

mostly women. No screaming, no yelling. Everybody just got on the ground and it was just such a crazy, unique, hopefully one of one experience. Not one woman screamed at all. At all. That's crazy.

And then when it was open, he might have been on your left side. That's fucking brilliant. That's brilliant. You might be right. I didn't hear any screaming for many women. Yeah, it was, and then after it was over and the other thing is when this is happening, we don't know what's going on. Is there a shooter in there?

Are bullets about to start flying? Is there a bomb? You know, we don't know what's going on. And it's just, my adrenaline was, I mean, I don't even, I can't even explain it. For the next four hours, I was bouncing off the walls. It was just, yeah, it was pretty, it was pretty badass. It was a thrill secret, though. Like, you said you used to fight, do UFC, you had something.

Like, you liked that type of adrenaline. You probably never used a condom in your life. I do. Jesus. I do. And I've obviously never been in any type of situation like that in my life. It was a really unique experience. I know to a lot of people that sounded twisted, but let me tell you what, as a guy that's never been in something like that, it's just, it's hard to explain, but it was pretty badass.

Whose idea was it to have a UFC fight on the White House lawn? How did that come about? So the president was at one of the fights. I can't remember if it was in New Jersey or Miami, and he leans over to me and goes, you know what? We should do a fight at the White House. I said, yes, yes, we should. I like it. literally how it started. No, he doesn't bull-h-h-so.

When he says he's going to do something, he does it. Literally Monday, people started calling and trying to set it up. And that was Saturday. And Monday, they called and started setting it up. But yeah, I'm not going to say no to doing a fight at the white. How does that work? Who gets invited? Do you have to go through protocol?

Like, how does that work as far as, you know, celebrities and people coming and some of the fighters? I have 200 tickets. Ari Emanuel has 200 tickets, and the president has 1,000 tickets. there'll be like a little over 4,000 people there. Most will be military. Every branch of the military will be there. And, you know, there's 1,400 tickets between me, Ari, and the president. Do you understand why some people see that as sports history,

while others see it as just like state-sponsored political theater? Oh, yeah. People are, you know, everybody's going to have an opinion about something like this. But, you know, why would I not? if you're offered to do something at the White House flag would you not do it especially on America's 250th birthday

pretty incredible great opportunity I was just gonna say there's just so much going on right now that it just seems like you know the energy the focus the resources that everything could just go somewhere else

well just for the so we're clear the U.S. taxpayers aren't paying anything we're flipping the whole bill for this thing that's what they told us about the ballroom too yeah I was about the fact the fact. I don't know about the ballroom. I'm not involved in that. We're paying for everything. Literally

everything. And we can't sell a hot dog, a t-shirt, a ticket, nothing. We're flipping the bill for everything. And my thing is always, there's always something going on. There's always going to be something else, always something bad. Plus, we're a global business. You know, when

the Ukraine-Russia war started and people were saying, oh my God, you can't have Russians. I have Russians under contract. They have to feed their families there. I have Palestinians. I have Jewish fighters. I have, you know, there's always going to be something bad going on in this world. And I run a global business.

You know, you were on the Katie Miller podcast, and you said in regards to your relationship with Trump and has it cost to UFC business. You said, I don't give a shit. I don't know the answer to that question. I've gotten to a point in my life, especially after COVID and all that nutty shit that went on during that time that I only want to be in business with

and talk to people that I'm aligned with. Well, I don't know about talk to people. that I'm aligned, but I want to do business with people that I'm aligned with, for sure. So you're aligned with Trump on what exactly? Well, Trump is a good friend of mine. I mean, I've been friends with him for 25 years. Friends, I mean, you just happen to become the president of the United States. When we first bought this company, the stigma that was attached to this thing, you can imagine, think about this, it wasn't allowed on pay-per-view.

You as a grown adult didn't have the option to buy it on pay-per-view. porn was on pay-per-view. The UFC was not allowed. That was the uphill battle we had. So you can imagine venues didn't want us because these guys were like what kind of people will show up to watch this kind of an event. And he had us at the Trump to Hajimahal for the first two fights,

you know, 30 and 31, UFC 30 and 31. And then after we did those two, first day, he showed up for the first fight of the night and stayed till the end for both events. And you think the Trump ran then and the UFC brand and every good thing that ever happened to me in my career after that he was always the first guy to reach out so then when he was running in 16 he called me and asked me would you speak for me at the at the republican convention and everybody told me not to do it don't do it this is going to be

bad and he's never going to win and all that kind of stuff but this was a guy that was always good to me and you know always treated me well and I did it I can understand that you know that's your friend, but when your friend has a disapproval rating of 62%, right? Record high. People say they don't like his handling of the Iran war, the economy, cost of living for people to get up, why can't you tell your friend

he's failing to people? As a friend. Well, he's the president of the United States. Still your friend, though. And, yeah, I know. But, you know, for me to get involved in, it's like, I'm sure people disagree with you that are friends with you, and everybody has friends that you just doesn't mean you're not friends

with them anymore. It doesn't mean that you're I didn't say you shouldn't be friends with him. I just said, why can't you tell your friend he's failing the people? Because these are the same people who make USC a success. Yeah, I don't know if I agree that he's failing the people. I think that when the president is done in three years, people will look back on and realize a lot of the good things. See, I'm closer to him too, and I see all the good things that he does

that a lot of people, you know, either don't see or don't want to see. But tariff inflation has increased the price of household goods, increased utility bills because household electricity costs have gone up 9%. The failure to extend the Affordable Care Act is up people's health care. Everyday working class people who support your sport are hurting. You're never going to have a president that sits in the White House that everybody approves 100% of everything they do, and not everything is always going to be perfect.

You're going to have some things that work out great and a lot of things that don't. It's no different than running a business or any other thing. Nobody's ever going to be absolutely perfect when they're the president of the United States. Can you tell your friend when he's... Yeah, we talk about a lot of things, but I don't try to get into... You like everything he's doing? Well, like I just said, you're never going to agree with everything.

But, you know, as a friend, I'm not going out there. And he and I have never, other than the first two UFC events, Nothing with us is transactional. I'm not trying. He doesn't call me. I'll give you an example. The White House fight. Other than Derek Lewis, the Black Beast, other than him, he didn't tell me, hey, put this guy, do this.

We're sitting at the fight in Miami a couple weeks ago, and he says, why is the Black Beast Derek Lewis not on the White House? Does he go out of his nickname? I don't know. He's one of the president's favorite fighters. So he says to me, why is he not on the card? I literally got up and walked over to my matchmaker, Mick. I said, get Derek on the phone. Called Derek, and I said, hey, the president wants to know why you're not on the White House card.

He said, politics. That's why I'm not. Derek Lewis is incredible. And I said, he wants you on the card. You want to fight on the card? He said, tell him thank you. I'd love to. We put him on the card.

Now we've got to find him opponent. And this crazy fight plays out that night between Curtis Blades and Hokkaid. and it was an incredible fight. They're literally putting Hokeet in the ambulance, and Mick goes back and says, you want to fight Derek Lewis on the White House card? And he said, yeah, the fight was literally made that night during the fight.

But my point in this story was, you know, he doesn't, it's just we don't have, we don't do that. So your relationship with Trump is big in business is actually person. Yeah, absolutely. We have a real friendship, not some type of, you know, he has lots of friends, especially now that he's the president, we don't have that we've had a 25 year real friendship and real relationship. But don't be a glazer though, Dena.

Don't be what? A glazer. Like, there's somebody that just tells him he's great, a yes man, basically. Yeah, yeah. I don't think anybody's ever accused me of being a yes man. And I think that's part, but listen, I'm not an overly political person either. You know what I mean? So are you part of the MAGA movement culturally?

What do you mean culturally? Are you part of the MAGA movement culturally? Do you align with their ideologies and their values? You know, I consider myself right down the middle or leaning a little liberal, to be honest with you. Everybody thinks I'm some far right guy because of our relationship. You know, I'm more about common sense. I'm a common sense guy.

And if it makes sense to me, then I'm probably in. When you say you only want to do business with people you're aligned with, are you talking about values, politics. I'm talking about... Loyalty. I'm talking about sponsorship. I had some... crazy shit go on

with some sponsors during COVID. And when I was supporting Trump, you know, for election. And my thing is, I get it your spending, but don't ever fucking tell me personally who to vote for and who not to vote for.

As an American, it's your right to vote for whoever you want to vote for. And I'm not going to be, you know, putting a position where I got some sponsor calling me, telling me who I can and can't vote for.

and who I can't. It can't support. Yeah. Oh, yeah, it happened. Yeah. But that's what I mean when I say political alignment impacting your business. But you don't care. No. You said you don't get a . What if all your sponsors pulled out? That sponsor's gone. Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow.

Yeah, yeah. Gone. What if all of them? They don't have enough money to do business with me. Gone. Damn, damn, damn. But what if all of them pulled out? Would you then tell your friend that he got to change some things? Well, if you look at how you are in the way that you think,

and imagine somebody coming in because they sponsor your show and start telling you who to be and how to act and who to vote for and who to... No, no, I can't do it. It wouldn't happen. Exactly. Exactly. That's not the question. I said it.

But what if it impacts your business? And what if it impacts you is a... That's what I got to think about. 100%. There's not much to think about. You either want to be that person or you're not that person. I don't think you're that person. But, you know, somebody starts...

There are lots of sponsors out there, right? When you get somebody that comes in and starts trying to do that to you, yeah. You got to go. Was there a conversation with your sponsors or anybody on the business side when that video went viral of you and your wife in the club? Yeah. And the slapping, what you, slapping her and her slapping you? Yeah, yeah. When they reached out to you, what did they, like, how did that conversation go?

We didn't have any sponsor problems during that. My wife and I jumped on that immediately. And, again, that was more. of a, uh, we had to deal with our kids with that one. When you embarrass your children on a global level, you know, that's, that's one of the worst things that can ever happen to you. Might have any sponsorship problems with that. I was at TMZ at the time when that video went up and like the whole debacle and like,

you know, whatever. And one thing I will say is your relationships have afforded you a lot of like empathy and grace. Like the way that they handled that situation with you and allowing you to speak out for yourself, like as it was published, I had never seen. that in my time being in the newsroom. Oh, that's interesting. That was like a, that was my first time ever realizing like relationships can change a

narrative 100%. And they reported it honestly, but they allowed you to at the same time that the video was going up, you're speaking for yourself and apologizing. And I was just like, wow, I always told myself, I ever got a chance to meet you. I would really want to talk to you about that because I'd never seen that before. Interesting. Yeah. We were apologizing to our children.

my wife and I when that happened. I think that a lot of the people that I've been in business with and that I'm friends with know me really well. And when I got back from Mexico, it was like, it was 64 days of just, you know,

getting hammered. Yeah. I mean, and I live in Vegas, so I was waking up at like three in the morning every morning because the East Coast is cracking off at 6 o'clock with all the, you know, talk and sports shows and, you know, I had to make the rounds and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, you know, I say this all the time, you find out who's who and what's what when the shit hits the fan, and

I learned a lot about a lot of people during that time, and mostly a positive way, not negative. If a UFC fighter was caught on camera. It's happened. Oh, it's happened. Oh, it's happened. Oh, I don't know, and I wonder when they have been treated. Yeah. Yeah.

You know, what's funny is that, it's not funny, but. I used to say that you don't recover from those. Those are those are ones you don't recover from. But you did? I did. Do you think being the boss protected you from consequences that employees or athletes or not? No, definitely, Dana. Come on. Definitely not.

You made the choice publicly not to excuse yourself from the brand. You chose publicly to not what? To excuse yourself or give yourself. Like, no, 100%. Listen, there's a board of directors. There's other people that are involved that, that, could have pushed for that. But, yeah, I think that, and obviously they think, too,

it would have hurt the company more if I did step away. And you've disciplined fighters for public behavior that was going to be coming to the company before, right? Well, I mean, I'm probably the most lenient, you know, the most lenient guy in sports when it comes to dealing with, you know, whether it's free speech or bad things that happen. And, you know, I'm in a fight business. It's not like I run Microsoft.

You know what I mean? So what standard did you hold yourself to in that moment? Listen, obviously, that's not what, it was, I mean, it's as bad as it could get. I mean, I hold myself to, I would never in a million years think that that was going to happen. And I say this all the time, nobody knows you better than your kids do. and you know your kids whoever you really are your kids see it

they hear it everything that goes on at home and uh you know how did they react to that incident my oldest son didn't talk to us for like four days we had to you know and uh oh was he at the time

he was in college so you know he was uh 19 probably yeah wow 1920 and uh you know we the first The first thing that her and I did was handle the situation with the kids. And then obviously I had to handle the business side of the whole thing. But yeah, we handled the kids first.

How did power slaps get started? That's a terrible thing. I don't know that was a terrible segue. I'm inflicted right now. I think it was great though. Was power so. I think it was great. Power slaps are in the ring.

That's a little while. All I thought he was talking about, I'm like, yo, Like, not y'all just be out here power-slapping. That was what we did. That was, I think that was good. Wow. Well, let me tell you. So in 1718, I was on Instagram, I saw these guys slapping, and it was coming out of Russia and Poland.

And I was like, holy shit, this is crazy. But what fascinated me is that I would stay till the end to see who won. and I started to get into it and I called my old partners the Fratita brothers and I said have you seen this slapping stuff I'm into it I think I think I could do this and I think this could be big

and literally they said how much money you need I said I need a million bucks from from both you so all three of us put in a million dollars and here we are you know we kind of started that this was about 30 I'll say 25 years ago and we used this thing called slapfest and people would slap each

other for tickets. Damn. And we did it for like a good year. Tickets to where? A concert. Like so you'd stand it and it was but there was no referees. It was just us doing it and it was huge.

And then we got a letter from I guess what the FCC back in. One of the sponsors. You can't have like this is like battling fighting with no reps. But it was huge. So when I seen it I was like wow. Damn. People get hurt with that though. Yeah. Oh yeah. People get knocked out.

They can knock that out. It's it does a billion views of month. Power Slap does a billion views a month and it is a sponsorship machine kills it. The fight goes down this weekend. Yeah, and I just want to say, Dana, it was a great conversation. I do believe that powerful men like yourself don't really see what's going on in this country, especially with your own fan base of USC.

I'm realizing there's a bubble that, like, you know, you all exist in. And I want you to come out of that bubble sometimes and see the pain that your own people. people are going to. That's why, that's why when I look at all of the things that have happened, attack the tariff inflation and the snap benefits being cut and affordable care act not being extended, the tax inequality that exists in this country, you think about all the federal workers that, you know, got fired because of the doles. That's why Trump got booed in Miami when y'all walked out.

He didn't get booed in Miami. Yes, he did get booed in Miami. He did not get booed in Miami. He did not get booed in Miami. He did not get booed in Miami. Was that AI too? He did not get booed in Miami. at UFC 327?

Yeah, yeah, the place erupted in Miami. No, what was the fight work? I saw a video of him getting booed. Maybe it was a, I don't know. Yeah, he definitely didn't get booed. Next time you all got it and you all got on your right side. If you hear any booze, just know the reason he's getting booed is because of what's happening in this country. And you're his friend, so I just want you to be aware of that so you could maybe tell him like,

hey, man, maybe you need to listen to your constituents. If I had, you know, my fan base, I'm pretty dialed in with my fan base. When you said that I live in my bubble, I live in my bubble, I live in my, my UFC bubble, but nobody, no fans, and people that I interact with all the time has ever come up to me and said, I'm hurting, man, that, you know, the president isn't doing this or isn't doing that. It's never happened to me. It's never happened.

It's never happening. We had this conversation. Absolutely. I would. And I'll tell you this. If it does happen, I'll get with Linnae. We'll reach out, and I'll tell you this is what happened. Absolutely.

Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know.

I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. Thank you for finishing that sentence. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history.

Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning. All right. Well, let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. Tell us. Maybe. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

She gets the details. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything. Everything is the last. She'd be having the latest on it. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the little.

Brought to you by Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Verses went down last night, guys. Went down in L.A., Rick Ross versus French Montana. And I'm going to just say it. I was very surprised at how much French Montana cleaned up house. In the Versus. French killed it.

And granted, we know that they both have really big records and catalogs, but I didn't think that it would be such an easy, like, clear, okay, this is the person that won. Oh, I didn't see it. That's what happened? Yes, in my opinion. French Montana did that to Rick Ross? Yes, because I just feel like Rick Ross's music selection wasn't right. He didn't choose the right.

Like, they only have a couple songs. They're doing 10 songs. He didn't choose the right songs. Rick, French Montana on the other side, he came right in with all of the anthems and hooks. Like, it reminded you that he's been the person making a lot of these songs big. from west coast to the east coast for some years now. Most people forgot a lot of records that French rocked out to. Like he did all the way up.

People forget he's on Fat Joe's record all the way up. He did. That ain't his record though. So he came out there with just a lot of features. He did hot nigger and all that stuff like that. Yeah, he did that. And verses, you do your, not just your records. You do your features as well.

You do your verses. I ain't know you do that. Yes, you do your features. He did that. He did the hot, hot igger. He did, like I said, all the way up. What else did he did? He did his verse on A-Saf,

Do you do unfe-forgetable? Yeah. Huh? He's doing unforgettable? Yeah. He got a lot of records people forget about. What about the Max B joint? Like ever since you left me?

Yeah, we did that. Max B came out. Max B was actually there on the stage the whole time. French is on a lot of records that people forget about. Don't say he got a lot of records. Well, look. But you got a lot of verses that people forget about it. When you watch it this weekend, if you do take the time to watch it this weekend,

let me know what you thought about it. He's not. But that's how I felt. But I didn't think that a 10 for 10 would be more competitive. I just think that a 10 for 10 would be more competitive. but I just think it was Ross's lineup. It could have been a different and better for him. But in other news, speaking of the stages and performing,

I thought that this was so fired. So it was announced yesterday the Usher is going to be hiring interns on his tour that he's going on with Chris Brown for the first time ever in his career. And I know you hear that, and you're like, okay, it's entertainment, it's interns. But this is a big deal because it's the first of its kind of a program like this to happen. So it's basically Usher turning the tour into a workforce development initiative. I like that.

So they'll bring in interns and they're going to be working with his nonprofit in the greater Boys and Girls Club of Detroit to launch this initiative. And they'll be teaching these students live touring. So they'll get to do everything from production to wardrobe across the tour with these huge names of entertainment. I think that that was. Yeah. I don't think I've ever ever heard of this being done before. I mean, tours have like stage hands, production assistants and stuff like that. Yeah, of course.

But I'm saying like he is getting interns, you know, like he's going and handpicking the people to do this. Yep. And the students, you know, ages 18 and up, there'll be 10 of them that'll be selected. They'll get the tour and just learn all these things firsthand. And it's a way that he is like opening the door to the live entertainment industry. That's dope. And Chris Brown's album came out today. Speaking of.

Yeah, so Brown is out. Now, I want to play. He has an intro on the album. It's called Leave Me Alone. And he's addressing a lot of what we've been seeing, you know, opinions this year. Again and again and again. Yeah, it's going to be good. I'm excited.

It's out today, going to take a listen, and we can't just breeze past the cover, the album cover. Oh, the Michael Jackson. The Michael Jackson, he is paying homage to Michael Jackson. I didn't hear you this excited all morning, y'all. Listen, Brown is out now. I ain't heard of this excited in months. Damn.

What you mean? I've been very excited, but yes, I'm even more excited that he's dropping. Yo, we got so much music to look forward to on this tour. Yes. Chris is just phenomenal, y'all. I'm excited. and those tickets are on stuff for the... I'm just saying.

Let her have her moment. All right, show it how exciting. Now, in other news, shifting gears a bit, but still kind of standing in the Atlanta realm. So Real Housewives of Atlanta, Pinky Cole, we had her here on the show discussing a lot of the issues that have been happening behind the scenes

with her business and her filing for bankruptcy. Well, yesterday it was announced that the CFO of Bar Vegan, which is a company that she has ownership in, was indicted for theft, in a theft and forgery case. Now, there's a clip that has been going viral from Real Housewives of Atlanta

where Pinky gets into it with Angela Oakley, who's another one of the housewives on the show, and they bring up the money issues. And I'll talk about why I'm connecting these two. Let's take a listen. I have a lot of money. My husband is paying me. I never cancel Christmas for my employees.

What are you talking about you? How are you doing a giveaway? What are you talking about? You owe employees, baby? I don't owe no employees at all. How much do you owe your foreclosers? I don't owe them anything. They took them from you, baby.

You owe everybody from the people across the street. I owe you a new lacefront. Hey, Mr. Clean, don't do it by her. And I owe you some new veneers, okay? Because that overbite that you got going on. Girl, not the way your teeth called me, though. The ancestral teeth you got. Don't do that.

You would forget that these are grown-ass women. Yo, yes, who both have businesses and who both understand that you have to take losses when you have businesses. I just hate that they're trading blows over taking L's in business, but it's not really, you know, like every business owner, if you ever ran a successful business or a business that didn't, that wasn't a success. You know that it's L's that you take in business,

and they're both still successful. You know what you sign up for when you hold that peach, though, baby. I understand. Exactly what you sign up for now. I just hate it. I'm happy to hear that she didn't have a window, but I'm trying to figure out the CFO that she put in place to do this. Yo, did he not have any, like...

So I spoke to a source close to Pinky. not flags. In this video when Angela Oakley says you owe your employees, one of the allegations against Pinky Coat was that BarVegan in Atlanta she owed a lot of her employees money for damages and just different things she had to settle out because they weren't being paid the way they were supposed to be

paid. So this CFO basically a source close to Pinky tells me she had hired him early on she put a million dollars into Bar Vegan and she was just trying to learn the business as she was building on her restaurants. And basically this guy who was supposed to be really trusted, really good at what he does, did what he wanted to do with the money. And now

the feds are involved and they're investigating him but she says um it are in that audio you hear her say oh i don't owe anybody anything and the source is basically telling me that because she was the face of it and she put the money into it people are throwing this on her but he was the one that's taking a hit but he was the one that was moving funds and doing things the way that he shouldn't have been doing but this is a lot of the reason why um that was angela pinkie um that was angie co which one is your source Angela or Pinky? I don't. My source is a source close to Pinky.

Okay. Yes. So they're trying to. Basically. Basically. Basically, this indictment though is a lot of the conversation she's been having about the money and why it's been mismanaged. This indictment is basically showing that like a lot of that wasn't her fault.

Now, you can ask, well, why did she hire this person? How does she not know? But she wasn't directly running this business day to day. It was just something she invested in. And she came in once it messed up and tried. tried to alligate money in different places, and that messed her up, which is why we see the bankruptcy and things of that nature. But they'd be getting on our own row housewives about it. Yeah, shout out to Pinky.

Yeah, shout out to Pinky. Blessing your way. And for everybody who was worried about the Miss Juicy, I know that everybody wanted to know about her. She was arrested a few, like, I think last week. Who? The midget, Miss Juicy. The famous little person. The famous lady, Ms. Juicy.

You know everybody. It's a little person. Okay, well, the little person, you know, she was, I love, I love Ms. Juicing. We all know her. Some of your best friends. And she was arrested. That's what you're saying? No, no, please.

No, I'm not doing none of that. Please, no. But, no, don't y'all run up for me. Is she okay? But yeah, she okay. But she was driving, I guess, like, with no license or something like that. But everybody was worried about it. They had to cuff her front, you know, like her arms and wrists to the front or whatever,

because she, you know, little, her size or whatever. What was she driving? You know, one of little cars. Whatever cars they be getting. A minicober. No. That's too big for them. No, man.

But yeah, she's safe. And I ain't like how they had her all on the news. Time about because of her size. They had to cuff her wrists to the front. Like, what? You know, so. Glad she's okay. Salute to her.

She are. She made bail. Oh, okay. A little bit of bail. Y'all are foul. Y'all are foul. Y'all are foul. Y'all are foul.

of the president's actions, regardless. Exactly. Exactly. And I'm sorry, because I know envy like to bang on people real quick. May I please also say with the X-Files, you got to check out a Sasquot's product. It's a podcast

about people who tells the stories about when they encounter pictures. You ain't got to tell me twice. I'm going to watch it, but I will say this. It's hard for me to listen to episodes about Sasquash. I'm the guy that's stuck on

all the Sasquash TV shows. This, I swear, this is better. Like, I'm convinced. I don't like to say I believe, but I'm very convinced they exist. When you hear these people's encounters, it don't sound, it's got to be there. Like, what do these people think? It might be aliens.

No, I don't think they're aliens. I mean, listen, Bigfoot is just a primate in the woods. Like, think about all of the crazy primates we see in the jungle. Why is it so far-fetched to think that it's just a primate in the woods. Exactly. Exactly.

But then why the government hide me, that's the only thing that don't make sense. That is true. That is true. But I watch all, I watch Finding Bigfoot

Expedition, Bigfoot, Sawholae, I watch all of that. This is the best one. Hands out, I can't you got, Cascar Chronicles. I'm watching.

Who you want to get the biggest heart to, Elise.

To the owners of Percy and Willie in Florence, South Carolina. What is Percy and Willie? Let me look that up. What's that? It's a restaurant. Okay. So a food critic went there. His name is Ben a critic.

He's very well known. Whenever he walked in the restaurant, everybody knew him. Like he was getting so much love. And the owners just came up and told him he had the lead. And when he asks why, they said, because you're videoing, and we don't allow video it in here. And proceeds to turn around and say, call the police. Like that man did something.

Wow. I'm watching it now. Video shows confrontation as Black Food Critics says he was pushed from South Carolina restaurant. Yeah. Yeah, Percy and Willie. And everybody was in there showing him love. Like, he's very well known.

He's awesome. Is that an actual policy? Do they not allow? I don't see how you can not allow a videotaping in 2026. Everybody's videotaping something. Exactly. I really believe it was because he was a black man with locks and they was just profiling him. I mean, there's plenty of black men with locks in Florence, South Carolina. Yeah.

Maybe it was because of the disruption he was causing, not causing a disruption. It wasn't even a disruption. Yeah, I don't want to say disruption. I'm watching the video now. It wasn't a camera crew. He just had his camera. I don't mean disruption, but you know, like everybody like getting excited when they saw him and stuff like that. Right. Even one of the whole. This came up to him and was like, I have a waitress that wants to wait on you. So we got a table for you.

They specifically want you because it's you. Wow. So what y'all going to do? Y'all going to stop going to Percy and Willis? I'll never go there. Well, I don't live there, but I would never go there if I did go before. Where you live in? Well, I'm from North Carolina, but I live in Florida now.

Oh, so you just minding South Carolina business is what you're doing this morning. Definitely. Okay. wrong with that. It's a good story to amplify because I didn't know nothing about it. Thank you for calling. Thank you. All right. Salute to the Ben of Critic. I don't know him. I'm just this my first

time seeing him because of this Percy and Willie situation. Well, that was Donkey of the day. Yes, indeed. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Harreis. Charlemagne Nagar. We are the Breakfast Club. Lawan LaRose is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. Hartsville, South Carolina is own. Charlomamey Missing, South Carolina

and South Carolina all day. We got trapped dick in the building. Welcome, brother. Let's do it. We're here. How you feeling, man? I'm here at a breakfast club. You know what time it is.

There you go. My Carolina brother ain't here. We live. Yes, sir. New Project DeVille out. You said it's an old to all Vils. Yeah, it's to all Vils. You know how it is.

Especially coming from the South, it's a bunch of Vils, but it ain't just for my Ville. You know, you got Nashville. You got Louisville. Even in New York, you got Brownsville. It's shit everywhere. Even in California, you got Victorville.

So it's like it ain't just for my Ville. but in the South and North Carolina is a bunch of them. Now, you signed a T.D. How difficult was it coming out from our artists from South Carolina? Because we don't see too many artists that really cross over into the charts of South Carolina. How difficult was it for you? It feels good, but it was a blessing. It wasn't so much difficult when you really got the love behind you.

Like I said, you got people from Carolina. Carolina support Carolina. And we show love to any entertainer. So it's like we pay good. We love to see people. So it's a blessing to see me make it this far But I don't feel like it was difficult It's just putting in hard work

And Horsville Horsville is smaller than where I'm from In the Bronx Corner I actually was in Horsville I sent him a picture I was in Hottesville a few weeks ago because I went to the racetrack in Darlaton So you had to go through Hothfield

I stopped at some place to eat Oh yeah, yeah, yeah Probably Yogi Bell or something I don't remember the seafood spot but Horsville's like six square miles Oh yeah, Mayflower You went to Mayflower Mayflower

You went to Mayflower Huffield's only six square miles What's the population? 7,000. It ain't nothing, but one gas, no, two gas stations opened after 12 probably. One Walmart, one high school.

So everybody knows everybody. Yeah, everybody grinning, know everybody grinning. For sure, for sure. It's crazy. Fetty Walt, grandma knew my grandma. That's how I was able to just link with Fetty because it's like everybody grandma

know everybody. Word. For real, real. That's crazy. How did you get to TD? How did you sign with TD? It was a blessing. An intern, shout out of say cheese,

Sean Cotton. I used to pay for the promo all the time and an intern from TDE was asking Sean Cotton about hey, what you got new? And they sent them Trap Dickie and it was just so happened that they liked the music.

Wow. I just went with it. Well, congratulations, man. The record is moving up to charge crazy, man. It's a blessing. One thing I love that trap did, man, in Hartsville, you paid off your grandfather's foreclosure.

Oh, yeah. I think it was $60,000. Yeah, I'm telling you. I don't tell you. But from, there you begin to just buy multiple properties in the neighborhood you grew up in. Yeah, because you'll never know, like,

when these houses be so old, your grandma would be them paid for the house about three, four times, paying rent. So when you ask them how much the house is and they sell price, you're like, damn, might as well just buy the house. Just going through that made me really get into it. Like, if I'm going to pay $60,000 to keep a house,

I might as well find some houses in the hood. They're all cheap. I'm about to keep buying houses. I just kind of gotten a liking to it. That's what I kept doing And you bought a whole block For just you and your family Oh yeah, definitely

My little brother His grandma died So when his grandma died He was just like me He was into it like Hey how much How much you think my grandma's And when he found out

It was only 16,000 It was like damn Wow So he went ahead We bought that one We asked the neighbors We started Like you know

People lived for so long When they died They family don't even be around So we're seeing all these old people Die left and right We just start asking Hey how much to sit at house for just kept buying them back to back to back

to back. So eventually we got six houses or three houses on one block and there's only six houses on this block. So if you own four houses on a block of six, you damn no on the block. So you renovating them? Oh, no, this for us. I can tell who can park here.

I can tell what you're doing here. If you ain't coming to one of these houses, what you're doing to do and that? You can't say you own your hood. If you don't really own, your hood. I'm so sick of people saying it's mine, but you don't own nothing here. Your name ain't on no property.

At least I can say my brother's name on so many properties over here. You can't be here without us knowing. It shouldn't be no reason. The police die out here, nothing. We ain't got no phone call. And it's yours to always come back to in the midst of all of this stuff that you got going on now, right?

Like you can go home and really like put your feet in the ground and it's really yours. Oh, definitely. I was walking at the time of night. You feel? If cars bumping, music turned up to the max, only we can call the police. How are you balancing all of that, right? Like, as you rise and you're able to do all these things for your family, but also balancing the superstardom that you're walking into.

Like he just said, it ain't nothing but 7,000 people. They already knew who I was before. If it's 7,000 people, 3,000, 2,000 people probably know my mama. 500 going to say, yeah, I'm going to go pull up on them. if I say pull up on me. So it's like I got to be mindful of what I'm doing. I got to be respectful of what I'm doing. If the mayor can call my phone and say,

hey, what you're doing? I know I got to be respectful. You know what I'm saying? It's too small. So I look at it as exactly what it is. They've been new. I better act like I know. Was there shocks when the rest of the world started catching on to you,

though, like when it's like you're traveling to these different states and all these different places and it's like, it's not 7,000 people no more. Oh, man. It feels good. but I still look at it the same. Like, if I've been getting attention from back home, I look at everybody just like family,

I just keep it going. I say my hey, smile, and keep it pushing. I don't try to, I don't think I took it all in yet. I'm grinding. I'm in grind mode. I'm chasing. So it's like, I really don't feel it. I just keep going.

Yeah. What part of your music comes from survival versus entertaining? I can say, like, my deepest music come from, like, when I'm in that bag, though. Like when I'm home in the studio, that's when the survival music comes instead of just a hit record. You know what I'm saying? When you know you're chasing that hit, you're chasing it. But sometimes I feel like even like the baby you give that survival music of what you really feel when you're home.

That's why I think he stay home a lot. Because he really feel, he feels good. You feel like you're in that bag when you're at the crib, when you know you can be home. What was your inspiration? What made you want to dibble and dab in the rap game at first? Oh, my little brother. my little brother really the rap he's the one that was beating on the desk and all that

I just got tired of paying for studio time he went gone I'm steady paying for studio time he ain't gone I know he rapping about what we're doing I can put it together some way that's how it went and that's how I went Will you ever nervous

You talk about what you were doing With the part of South Carolina That you're from is so small Where everybody knows everything So it's not like anything is a secret Like oh we know what we know what trap's doing over there You know what you ever nervous for that Damn right.

Because they're like, it's a big city, be like, I don't know what you're doing on that side of day. Definitely. Every day you think it could be the day. Especially when you're young, you never know. Like, it could be the day they come. But just come pick you up right now. You feel me? So it's like you're just, you're living in a moment, but you're still praying.

Like, I hope it ain't me. When was the day you decided to say, you know what, I'm giving that up? I can't lie when I really started getting to, like, being in the music, when I seen a million views and I've seen people tell me, like, Like, bro, you really can do it. I was like, all right. It's really time to just sit my head down. Like, for real, for real.

How old are you? I'm 30 now. On the album, you said that, you know your pops is proud of you because you just basically live longer than him. Yeah. How old was he when he? He died at 17. Wow.

Yeah, he died at 17. Like, basically what I'm saying, in Hartsville, you could die so young because it's right there. Everybody knows everybody, but like I said, he was a preacher's line. So it ain't, it ain't nothing. It's anybody can get into it. Anybody can get into it.

But he died at 17. And you got shot before? Yeah, I got shot at 21. I got shot at a crossfire. Asked my little brother, shot me in a crossfire. Oh, your little brother? Being in a wrong place, wrong time. Wow.

What was that conversation like? After right here. You shot me? Am I like, I didn't fall a night. So it was like a, oh, I thought a piece of the tree or something hit me or something. So it was like a, I couldn't believe I got. shot.

What kind of gum is that you throw it a piece of the tree fell on you? Yeah, I thought it was like a little piece like, you know, commotion. We playing basketball at shots going on. I'm just thinking like, oh, snap, a piece of tree or something. But then I realized when I looked in the mirror like, oh, snap, I think I got shot for real. Damn. So I didn't know just going straight to the hospital and telling them like, I got shot. And it was crossed by, who that?

I didn't know. Things were happening. It don't even matter. I saw you said Who was going to tell your mom Because neither one of y'all was going to tell her Oh yeah, I had to make the call Because he made him look

And I just called her She said it on camera before I called her like mom I got shot in the face And she like for real I was like yeah I think I gotta call you back I think he wanted to ask me some questions So I don't think she started

Like tripping until she couldn't reach me And she was like She didn't calm I'm like, you better be calm I'm straight But what did she say When she found out it was her Of a son.

Oh, I ain't tell. We ain't tell about that to afterwards. It was like, my mama never worried about what we was doing. She already knew what kind of kids. She had, I ain't the only son. Like I said, I don't have been charged with a bit boy charged. A daughter had been charged with a bit boy charged. So she already knew these her kids.

I'm going to just answer the phone without got to press one. You know what I'm saying? So she respected what we were doing. We weren't bringing no trouble to her house. So she went tripped. What's harder, making it out the streets, so mentally adjusting after you get? out.

Mentally adjusting once you get out because you have so much fun and your home boys be still in so you got to really mental

adjuster no I got to leave like you really like you got to get in your mind and say like damn I really can't be here

I can move in another town, gate a community where the police patrol let off. So that's what it is. All I did move 30 minutes away. Do you think audiences can tell the difference between somebody who really lived it and somebody who just pretended to have been to- hell right?

That's they stay away for people that they feel like really live it. Because that's what they feel like, somebody they really feel on that type of time and are really on that they're right they stay away from that but I would if I know I'm not on what they own I'm not gonna go around the people that I feel like

Yes, but there's another upcoming rapper who's coming out of the Atlanta area named Suave. Who... Guards. Who's not familiar? Your cousin. Wow. This is his whole cut. Well, I don't know.

I think they're related to. Wow. They both got South Carolina roots. But anyway, Jermaine DePree is on the intro of his project and I thought it was really, really tough. So I'm going to just play the first song. It's called Back to the Trap freestyle. Yeah, I like that. I think it's disrespectful that I wrote that verse and he had J.D. do the intro to that song.

I'm not acknowledging that Suave is one of the most talented artists, you know, not just coming out of Atlanta, period. I'm not acknowledging that until he starts acknowledging the fact that I write 75% of his music. You really wrote that song, Shalameen? I'm right. Man versus for Suave, giving him ideas, and he don't acknowledge me. So I'm not acknowledging that he's one of the most talented, probably next person to blow in this whole culture

until he acknowledges the contributions. Nobody's taking wrong to me. You know his rap name was Jizzy Van Winkle? to his rap name was Dizzy Van Winkle Acknowledges my contributions to his art I'm not acknowledging

how talented he is Dizzy Van Winkle Y'all? I'm just letting you know Swaveh until you acknowledge my contributions to your art

You're not about to just leave Ruben out. Produced by Suave. Oh, Ruben. would be tough on a record. Ooh, that'd be tough. Ruben, Suave, Larisi, and Trapp on a record together produced by Suave?

That's tough. Where are you from? New Orleans. I'm about to say, that's a very southern... Yeah. Covering the latter. That'd be tough

because Ruben, Charlotte, Larisi, Louisiana, Swave is Atlanta. Yeah, that's covering a lot of regions. Crapside Carolina. Ooh. Somebody need to put that together. Yeah, I agree.

everybody stood next to. Yeah, he probably like, y'all gonna stab me in my bag. That's right. Those people that he stood next to, though, they're all connected. You got to rock with a new class. You came from a class like that.

I'm just saying. I know he ain't going to do it. He probably jaded. Someone did tell me that the album was really, really good. I'm sure. It's like, I wouldn't be. I heard it's not like Drake put out whack albums

and whack songs. Yeah. He put down for a dope records. Nobody ever said Drake wasn't Drake. He just got his ass kicked in a rap battle. Yeah. It happens. Yeah.

Yeah, AZ whole project, though. Yeah. Yeah. He's your whole project, though. You like that. AZ whole project is dope, man. That's why Nile is young 1990 now. Here you.

once again returned to Atlanta for another celebration of Black voices, culture, storytelling, and community. The festival also hosted the Black Marketplace presented by Shopify, where Black-owned entrepreneurs set up shop to promote

and sell their products. All right, my girl, Mina, we are here, sir, and mixing. Yeah, so it's definitely a luxury brand first off and because we're also a brand that's okay okay so that's give you I know you made this but I feel like you should smell this again too this is amazing thank you now I see the difference in the packaging right which is very important like especially like on a website so what the difference is is again going back to my Shopify experience when you go online

at Shopify you're able on our website to pick what type of candle you like so we have our three witch. You know, those are more for, you know, higher ceiling, bigger homes because the smell is going to move throughout the space better. Yeah, so like you wouldn't want to put a three-wigs candle in a bathroom, you know, because it's a smaller space. So this is one of our popular fragrance. I just grew up today. I grew up so much like, I feel like now I can step into my homeowner face because I know where the wits go, okay? You come to my house, don't touch my candles because they're put somewhere for a purpose. It's all about the presentation and the intentionality of the product. Why did you trust Shopify as a platform to bring your brand alike?

Well, for one, Shopify is a trusted brand. It was important to be where I know I can be trusted and I can get the opportunity to be creative because I am not tech savvy at all. Shopify made me think I have wings and can fly with all the things that you can do. And so now to be at a position where we've elevated our brand, doing variants now and distance. You know, codes and customer experiences. You better use them work.

Okay, you'll be on Shopify. Okay, you be on the back end of your own business. I love to hear that. That's entrepreneurship for real. When you're in it yourself, okay? So how has Shopify helped you pivot from building brands in the corporate sector to now building your own brand? Well, because it gives me an experience with my own particular brand.

Shopify allows us to give our customers that added experience. So it just allows us to be able to have a way to connect at whatever level your brand is at. So as we elevate, our templates have changed. They've gotten a little more, you know, strategic with how we promote the brand through Shopify. Well, thank you. Congratulations and girls. We're going to go to the website and get the right wicks for each room because they smell amazing. Yeah, it's GERN mixes.
