But why can't it be a fact that 2025 I wanted to? Let's get some front page news. What's up, Morgan? Hey, good morning and happy Friday for the most part. But, you know, there is some devastating news, as you guys mentioned. So first up on the front page, tragic news to report in New York. Officials are confirming six people have died after a helicopter

crashed into the Hudson River in New York City. The victims have been identified as Augustin Escobar, president and CEO of the technology company Siemens in Spain, his wife, their three children and the helicopter pilot. Now New York City Mayor Eric Adams, he is speaking out after the tragedy and he also made the grim announcement. Let's take a listen to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. At this time, all six victims have been removed from the water.

And sadly, all six victims have been pronounced deceased. Three adults and three children were on board a Bell 206 helicopter that had left from the downtown skyport just about 3 p.m. We're praying for the families and our gratitude to the rescuers and the courage that was displayed in their dedication. Yes, absolutely. Just devastating. This is something that is actually impacting New York and New Jersey because the bodies were pulled from the New Jersey side of the water. Now Adams went on to say that the victims were a family visiting from Spain. They were on a tour and witnesses say the chopper broke apart before it went down and overturned. I'm sure you guys have seen the video online. No, I haven't. And I don't know why the media, people on social media keep reposting that video.

Why? I kept seeing the headline, the moments of the helicopter crashing into the water. Why? Why? Why? I want to see that. So New York Governor Kathy Hochul said in a statement that she's joining all New Yorkers and praying for those who have lost their lives.

President Trump also released a statement on social media regarding the crash saying it was a terrible helicopter crash in the Hudson River looked like six people, the pilot to adults through children are no longer with us. He said the footage of the accident is horrendous and God bless the families and friends of the victims. He went on to say that Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and his talented staff are on it and announcements as to exactly what took place on how and how will be made shortly.

So as the president mentioned, and of course you guys know that an investigation into the crash is ongoing and there is a cause of that accident has not been released as of yet. So I can't wait to know what the cause is. But definitely horrible, horrible situation. Praying for that family. I wouldn't wish something like that on my worst enemy, man. man three young kids parents knowing there's nothing you can do in that moment Is that that helicopters going down if there's a heaven I pray all of them walked in together man Absolutely, you know they're trying to pass legislation now that will ban a lot of those tourists helicopters

Because they're saying that you know Well, maybe the airspace should only be for travel and commercial and not for those tourists things But regardless, I mean I did the tourist helicopter before I took my kids on on that on that that that same helicopter path It went right up to the George Washington Bridge by the Empire State. I did that before too So it's very scary. Like Shalime said, you know condolences and you wouldn't wish that on anybody that happen before? I've never heard of a And now it says there's been no mention of any prior crashes involving this particular What is it called a Bell 206 L4 long Ranger? Yeah, that's the type of helicopter it is Yeah, but you know they do those tours all day long like if you ever got like all day long They know it's non-stop. So it's very sad

All right. Well, that is front page news. Thank you. Morgan. We'll see you next hour. All right Everybody else get it off your chest eight 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. Ray, Ray, Ray.

I am the King of the world. I am the King of the world. I am the King of the world. I am the King of the world. I am the King of the world. What's that? Hey, what's going on? What's going on? Charlamagne Mcgarr. Peace, King. What's the word?

Peace, my brother. Peace, my brother. Listen, I have a question for you, Charlamagne. Yes, sir. Do you think that African-American black people have enough of our own resources to do for ourselves and depend less and less on government? Trump, Harris, Biden, Republican, Democrat. Okay, but like we have enough to really pull together,

pool our resources and do for ourselves. Yes, we do. It is the way I think. Yes, we do. And we've always had enough and every single, you know, elder before us has let us know that from Marcus Garvey to the honorable Elijah Muhammad, to Malcolm X, the Minister of Farrakhan.

Yes, we absolutely have more than enough. And we've built our own communities and had our own way before. When we had, I guess what you would perceive is less, at least less things in government that were for us. And that's my point is that I feel like when we had less from quote unquote society and to look into ourselves more, we were better as a community.

So yes, I 100% agree with you. We, we, we, we- In that same spirit, Shalom and Nika, I have one last question. Yes, sir. Have you watched my trail yet sir no but i saw you tagged me last night well i know i saw you leave a comment on something and told me to watch it was somebody yeah listen listen show money mr show money i'm almost done listen i don't believe in you know get on here and I say my cash you know

It's not about drug sales. No, I almost pressed play. You left a comment on Porsche's page and I actually went through your IG. I don't know why I didn't press play. I think I was in a bad sleep, but I was about to go to sleep. You know, press play, share like and follow, brother. Come on, you know how it goes. I'm gonna look at it today. You got my word.

Good morning. I just wanted to tell you, that was a great interview that you guys did with her. It's like she did a binge, holding that down for 16 years. She was in a great pool of artists that was doing their thing, but she was very successful. Those three songs, you put in a mini mix the other day, we need that more often.

Let's big up Carrie Horton. Welcome her back to the video. All right, bro. Yeah, Carrie is being vindicated. I saw Estudine last night leave a whole letter. I couldn't read that whole thing. I read the whole thing. You did? And she basically was saying like, yeah, you know,

all of this negative stuff in the song, I guess perceived as negative, she wrote it. Yeah, she said she wrote it. I see that little part of it, yeah. I'm sure Lauren will break that down on the latest, but it was long. It was like, hey, I was like, I can't read that. Hey, good morning.

Good morning. Get it off your chest, mama. Hey, good morning. Good morning What's happening Hey Hey girl, good morning. Good morning. I was calling about the carry he'll see interview What's up, mama? Yeah, I know she was lying right? What you remember? And she did an interview about this song. I remember, yeah, we've seen that. And she stood on it and she even made the statement that Paula Dunn didn't make her do that.

Well, you know she- Now I know Eskadeem came out and said that she was going to do a cover of this song. And she said, well, I'm going to do a cover of this song. And she said, well statement that Paula Dunn didn't make her do this. Well, you know, she- Now I know Esther Dean came out and said that she wrote it, but both could be true at the same time. Well, you remember- Esther Dean probably did write it, but I think she did it willingly. Well Esther said that she wrote it, but also too, remember Carrie said she was protecting

everybody that was involved, so she would say that in the interview Okay but protecting everybody okay I would say you just went saying nothing at all Did you see? But you actually go get on the interview and say he did not make you do that Well we're gonna break it down with the latest with Lauren because Esther Dean released a long statement yesterday and there's some more updates. So you keep it locked and Lauren's going to fill us in, okay? Okay. How old are you? I've been sleeping since last week too.

I've been sleeping since last week too. Oh, okay, okay, okay. She said she was dead, she remembers. All right, well thank you Tina. You, you, what is it? What? Why do you be talking like he ain't three years or 50? You know what I'm saying?

She said she was dead. You might need to get her as a source, Lauren. Okay. All right, get her off your chest, 800-585-105. Well, we got the latest with Lauren coming up. What are we talking about? We do, we're going to talk about the latest with Lauren. We're going to talk about the latest with Lauren. We're going to talk about the latest with Lauren. We're going to talk about the latest with Lauren. We're going to talk about the latest with Lauren. We're going to get her as a source, Lauren. Okay. Get her off your

chest. 800-585-1051. We got the latest with Lauren coming up. What are we talking about? We do. We're going to start with Tony Braxton and Birdman because they were married, almost divorced, but they still married and we didn't even know any of this was happening. I don't know if you know, but Birdman told everybody at the Breakfast Club to keep their name out your mouth. I wasn't here. Until he come back again we exist. Right. Four of us now. Oh, we are two of y'all. We'll get into that next is the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We are we are the Breakfast Club on this Friday. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets in from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit

about everything in the world. She be having the latest on this. That's the sound of things. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest. On the Breakfast Club.

Talk to me. What you got LL Cool Bae? Tony, Brax, and Birdman are married. Yay! That's what's up. When this happen? So this actually happened eight months ago, but we had no idea. I mean, actually, it seems like their honeymoon period, like, you know, you first get married

and it's all happy. It was a little shaky, according to these documents obtained by TMZ. So TMZ is reporting that they got married quietly. It was very secret. This happened August 8th. Now, in the first couple weeks of the marriage, like within the first two weeks of the marriage, there are documents that show that Toni Braxton applied for divorce. Yes. So when they got so we they know that so TMZ found out about the marriage because they found the divorce docs first. So, in her filing that TMZ saw, the listed separation date was August 10th. Now a quick recap for you guys, the couple held a secret wedding ceremony, then two days

later, Tony at least says that they were on the outs and headed for divorce. In the docs, Tony backs in her attorney called the marriage irretrievably broken. And another plot twist to this is that although it seems like they were headed for a split, Tony then dismissed the divorce petition in January of 2025 and Birdman signed off on that too. So as of now, they're legally married, husband and wife and you know, I was gonna say they're happy but we don't know because we didn't even know that they were married in first place Well, you know Tony's never been that Braxton who had all her business out in the opening So and very many really the type of person that's open about stuff too Cuz they like to threaten niggas when people talk about I know

What do we say about this situation Yeah, but I'm also not surprised that we didn't know anything about their marriage because of those reasons. Yeah. But does TMZ just type in everybody's name in the computer until they find something weird? Like what made them type in Tony Braxton? Was there Tony Braxton news?

It depends. Well, first of all, a while ago there was like a news circulating that Tony Braxton and Birdman had gotten married in a private wedding in Mexico. And that was making arounds, but Tony Braxton had reposted it and said fake news. So I think that kind of set an alarm off for some people where they were like, what is going on? But you never know. It could have been a tip.

Somebody like, yo, I know they got married. Here's where they got married. So then you know where to go look for the doctor. And he did just fall asleep on the stage that day. like a tip somebody like yo I know they got married here's where they got married so that you know where to go look for them. Nothing that he did just fall asleep on the stage that day. So that's that they probably like got the dig and like okay what is it what else is going on? Where's Tony? Why was she there? And then boom there we go. Tony was there when she fell asleep? No that's why why wasn't she there? You know because she would have whisked them off the stage

that's how I've been. Yeah well yeah so that was December 2023 when that fake news was well it was fake news then, but real news later was circulating. So maybe, I don't know what, it could have been several different things, but congratulations to them. Yeah. Are you going to do some digging to see why it was a divorce so fast? I've already began on that.

I know you did. Because she said irretrievably. Yeah, which normally when people say that, it's like- What do you mean? That you can't really, you can't fix it. Oh, irretrievable. Let me look that up because people will be in the comments like, here's a real guy. Yeah, which is normally when people say that it's like what I mean That you can't really you can't fix it That's a word to really broken is I don't know what the word is Broken beyond repair what if he had that in his wedding vows already? Yeah, I reserved the right to be finished

I'll be done anytime I want to It's not a term like like a contract his vows not supposed to say stuff like that But you can make you vows anything you want Yeah, it's the expression of love not a contract That's why you got to have God Jesus and the Holy Ghost in your relationship all three of when those things happen, you need that bond, that spiritual faith to keep y'all together. You up here playing about that man marriage right now. You're being real funny. No, I'm not. Stop being messy like you have. You're being real funny.

You can't have that. It's sitting, okay? It's sitting. Continue on, Lauren. Continue on. I'm going to continue on. Finish, you done? You finished, you done? I didn't even say nothing. All right. So, Esed Dean, as we mentioned earlier in the show, she posted another statement on this whole Carrie Hilsen turning me on Beyonce dish leaked super duper long. Yeah, I didn't read it. I read it. I read it. So it's an

open letter from Esther Dean. And she said it's for caring for creators for the record. She stayed quiet for a long time but she believes that telling the truth, especially when the internet starts telling its own version of the story is important. Back in July 2008, she started working with Polo to down in Atlanta. She then moved to LA to write for Polo's artists at Interscope. She wasn't famous, she wasn't clout chasing and she was in the studio day and night writing three to four songs a day. No friends, no family, just work. Whenever the studio was open, she roached. Polo called her, she showed up,

and that's how it was. So then the turn of me on remix happened. She said one night Polo called her and asked her to write a remix verse for Kerry Hilsen, something that was like street, edgy and for the culture. He left the room and she sat there, you know, coming up with different ideas. She then came up with, I shot the sheriff, but wait till I shoot these bees down, down, shot these bees down, down. And right. So then she basically is listening to lyrics that she came up with or whatever. And she said that, you know, at the time she didn't have, she didn't have like the same platform that Carrie Hilsen had.

Carrie Hilsen was the celebrity at that time. She was already massive. She didn't need saving. So it wasn't like this song was created to save her career. She was out making history already. Then she answered the question why I speak now she says because while our stories may look similar now back then they weren't. Carrie was speaking on big platforms I didn't have access to. And it was her story to tell not mine. I stayed writing no hate no shade just truth. What Carrie went through was sad. She's a great artist, beautiful spirit and she deserves

grace. She took her lessons now I'll take mine. Respect always." So I think that this double confirms Carrie's sentiments when she was here. If this was a court of law, Carrie Hilton would be innocent. Her story is adding up in every way. Also, people don't realize how much some folks have to compromise themselves in this business. We talked about it when Carrie was here. They told Carrie her career was gonna be over. She did what she thought she had to do. She said she was protecting everybody in the situation.

Now 15 years, 16 years later, she telling her truth. And the truth seemed like it's adding up to me. Yeah, and why is it so hard for people to believe stuff like that? We've heard things like this happen countless times in this industry. You know why, Jess. Why? Because nobody cares about the truth and the lies more than it ain't. They'd rather make the jokes on Carrie like this happened countless times in this industry. You know why, Jess. What?

Because nobody cares about the truth and the lies more entertaining. They rather make the jokes on Carrie and put the Vs in her comments. But I hope she gets the clarity she needs that she can continue on because she felt like she was blocked, she felt like people didn't respect her. So I hope she's able to get what she really wants out there now. Yeah, and I know she did really, she was really appreciative of the conversation that we had in here with her and just like The reaction to it I talked to her yesterday for a bit and she was like

She was really thankful for feeling comfortable enough to have a conversation about it. She felt like this was a safe place for her Yeah, well, she should have dropped the album today We need to talk come out on the 18th they should have dropped today, but you know what? What if she didn't even plan on opening up about that? She didn't. That's true. You know what I'm saying? Y'all like really provided that safe space for her to do that.

What if she never even planned on walking in to talk about that? That's right. That's good though. Yup. Alright, well that's the latest with Laurie. See, Breakfast Club interviews ain't all bad y'all. We don't get everybody in trouble. My name is Harry Houdini.

Harry Houdini could make elephants disappear, walk through walls, and escape the Chinese water torture cell. But he was also on a mission against mediums. I have never seen one genuine medium. Join me, Tim Harford, for a cautionary tales trilogy on the world's most famous magician. It takes a flim-flammer to catch a flim-flammer. Houdini wanted the world to see reason in an age of spiritualism.

He went undercover to seances, exposed fakes and charlatans, and even tried to convince Washington lawmakers to ban mediums for good, a campaign that cost him friends and made him many enemies.

I'm Israel Gutierrez, and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State Warriors once again are NBA champions.

From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step,

not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny 6'2 hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Russmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical Warriors ride. This is Dubb Dynasty. The Dubb's dynasty is still very much alive. Listen to Dubb Dynasty on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever

Michelle Obama, that's why she got it you calling them people come on team Come on I got milk. Milk on three. One, two, three, milk! Give Lauren some for her edges so they'll lay down because nothing else is working. Please stop.

Jesus. Alright. We have Front Page News when we come back. It was all a team. And then the jobs will be joining us. So good by the way it go. No, wait, no, what was it? Shut up!

Hey, wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some Front Page news. What's up Morgan? Listen, it's DJ N.V. Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What's up Morgan? Listen, what's up is the Supreme Court has, says that the Trump administration must facilitate

the release of a Maryland man sent accidentally to prison in El Salvador. Now in a ruling on Thursday, the court both granted and rejected a DOJ emergency request that contested Kilmar Abrego Garcia be returned. The decision means Garcia does not have to be immediately returned due to the judge imposed deadline expiring, but that the Trump administration has to be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken along with further ones. Now Abrego Garcia was deported by accident to an El Salvador prison on March 15th as part of the Trump administration's plan to send alleged members of the Venezuelan gang, Trent de Agua there.

I also received a DM from the state's attorney of Prince George's County where she says in a statement in part, she applauds the Supreme Court's decision today that orders the Trump administration to bring Kilmar back home. He must be brought home expeditiously. Any further delays are illegal and unacceptable. People of goodwill who support the rule of law must stand together and oppose the Trump administration's blatantly unconstitutional and illegal actions. She goes on to say she stands with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, his family and justice for

all people whose constitutional rights have been violated. So, you know, I'm always surprised when the Supreme Court does the right thing, because, you know, I've said on numerous occasions, the Supreme Court is no longer a legitimate institution. But when they get it right, and don't bow down to Trump and the Trump administration, I've got to give them credit. Well, you know, this thing is continuing and it's ongoing nonstop. So this comes at the same time as over 300 student visas have been revoked by the Trump administration as it cracks down on immigration. Now, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said it's a privilege to go to school in the U.S. and he had pretty

much a little bit of a message for those international students. Let's take a listen to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. If you come to this country as a student, we expect you to go to class and study and get a degree. If you come here to like vandalize a library, take over a campus and do all kinds of crazy things, you know, we're going to get rid of these people. So some international students have seen their visas taken away for allegedly supporting terrorist organizations.

Others have seen theirs reportedly taken away for things like traffic violations. And of course, this comes as colleges watch immigration databases to see if students are still allowed to be in the US. Last month, Rubio said a couple hundred visas were revoked and more would be happening every day. So I know this stands to impact students. This is going to be quite the case by case situation,

as I mentioned earlier, Malawatch, that Duke student, he's a South Sudan, well he is from Sudan and the visas from all those Sudanese people have also been revoked, so we'll continue to watch what happens with some of these students, those who are athletes here and those who are just here to get an education. And that's the problem, right?

Like, you know, on the face it sounds right. Like yes, you don't want nobody here that's committing crime, You don't want nobody here that's supporting, you know terrorist organizations But are they really going into these schools with a surgical knife and really getting those people out? Are they just casting a wide net seems like they just cast in a wide net like it like everything else they do it's a wide net but at the same time there may be some knives in the net because As you can see with the funding, you know It's a wide net, but at the same time, there may be some knives in the net because as you can see with the funding, the Trump administration has also been threatening funding for a lot of these schools.

So the schools are going to do essentially what they can to make sure that they keep a coin, right? So if that means surgically going in and looking at these students and where these students come from, that might, again, it's going to be case by case based on school. It's going to be case by case based on school, it's gonna be case by case based on the student. But I will try to keep you guys updated as much as I can in regards to that story.

Now switching gears, Democrat Senator Adam Schiff is calling for an insider trading investigation into the Trump administration. Now the move comes after President Trump put a pause on terrorists. Now Schiff points to a social media post made by the president saying, hey y'all, it's a good day to buy D, what is it?

Donald Trump Jr. or DJ, DJ. Anyway, it was his code basically for his media company. Let's take a listen to Democrat Senator Adam Schiff in regards to this situation. The question is, who knew what the president was going to do? And did people around the president trade stock knowing the Incredible gyration the market was about to go through just a few days ago I held a hearing with people who had to quit the Justice Department were fired at the Justice Department Because they were observing corrupt activity that they would not participate in

Yes, so and that as I was trying to mention before, that's DJT. Donald Trump said it was a good, great, it's a great day to buy DJT, which stands for Donald J Trump. And it's also the ticker symbol for his media company. Now Schiff says he and other Democrats have sent a letter to the White House asking if anyone in or around the administration made any financial transactions knowing the president was going to pause the tariffs. Now Trump said the pause is a result of what he called yippee people and the bond market sell-off. So what do you guys think about that? Possible insider situation going on with Trump and his buddies,

the billionaire buddies, or you know, the pause just happened because, you know, there's nothing they can do to Donald Trump. Do we forget that the Supreme Court granted Trump broad immunity for what they consider official acts? He'll just say that this was an official act. The guy's got presidential immunity. What are you going to do to him? But I always wonder with things like that, are they actually looking for a crime or are

they just trying to attack Donald Trump? Like are they actually fishing to see if somebody actually made money? Because they can see who made money and who pulled money out, how much money they made. And usually they can see if somebody made $10 million or $5 million and they can actually see if it happened before then and go there. Now it just seems like they just.

Well, let's be clear. This is insider trading. I mean, if you tweet out, you know, now is a good time to buy right before you pause the tariffs. That is, would be considered insider trading. but there's nothing you can do to Donald Trump but if you got presidential immunity but if he posted that that would be for the world to see inside of trading is if he told his man or somebody knew he was gonna do it beforehand and those are things that could be seen

same thing with like no but you can't say publicly now the good time to buy and then you're a president and pause tariffs for 90 days is that I don't know what you mean you don't know I don't know because he posted it he posted it nationally It's not like he posted it in his his friends. Oh, yeah for the world to see what the stock ticker on it envy Now the good time to buy hashtag DJT. Jesus. Yeah. Well, all right, y'all.

I continue to keep you guys updated as much as I can in regards to this. That's your front page news. Follow me on social. I'm Morgan Wood.

We're going to kick it with Vibe's. When we come back, 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, we got a special guest in the building. Yes indeed, the legendary. Vibes Cartel, welcome brother. Hey what's up man. Hello.

How you feeling man? I feel like a million dollars right now. Man, every time I walk through the airport the last two weeks, everybody there, all the Caribbean people, you got to have Vibes on the Breakfast Club. Vibes gonna be in Brooklyn on April 11th. You gotta have them on the Breakfast Club. All in the building, all through the streets. They knew you were coming. So first and foremost, how does it feel to be back here and being able to perform? How does that feel? What is that feeling like? I mean, it's a blessing, you know, and it's a feeling of accomplishment.

Because you know, I mean, this is these are the things that we have worked for over the years. So to be here now and see it actualize itself, it feels like an accomplished feeling. You sold out two shows at the Barclay immediately. Too easy. Did you think it would be like that? Of course. With ticket prices of like $7,000 for seats?

Yeah, of course. Like I said, I put the work in. So everything is happening to me. I deserve it, man. That is the greatest. You know what I mean? We work hard over the years. We built a huge catalog. So you know what I mean? The music speaks for itself as it relates to dance hall and for me to represent the culture.

So that was no surprise, man. My manager wanted to do a third night. I'm like, bro, I'm not. You could have immediately. I'm not. I'm 49. I'm not. That's, you know what I mean? Strong. You're a man of the young, man. I know, but remember, we're coming from prison. I'm 49, I'm not that, you know what I mean? Strong. You man, that's young, man.

I know, but remember, coming from prison, I'm sick. You know what I mean? So that makes it more of a blessing, you know what I mean? To know that, you know what I mean? Coming from prison, 13 years, still battling with my illness and the love that the people show me, man. If it's not God, I don't know who it is. You know, nobody wants to go to prison,

but it feels like prison made you larger than life. Like, just from perspective. I agree with you. From a career perspective do you think it preserved your legacy and made it bigger? Yeah I think so. I think it did but like I said everything happens for a purpose. I mean if God has a plan for you he has a plan for you. You have to just work with it. I look at it the opposite way though because I feel like people heard the music but couldn't see the face like I felt like it you would have been even bigger artists because they just couldn't touch you or if I was free maybe I would have died who knows in a car accident or something so you gotta just focus on what is right you know I mean and that's how I live my life like it is

what it is I'm here I did 13 years but now I'm here and that's in my rear view. During your time in prison though you released a lot of music. How was that managing your career even behind bars like being in there? I mean like I said I had to do it. That was that was too easy man. I always try to find innovative ways to do what I do and that was just one of them. Like I had to do it. I had people depending on me. I had a family to feed. I had my career to maintain. So that's too easy. And even that with being sick though. There were times where you were just like man, **** this. No, no, never. I couldn't do that.

But you were really sick though. I guess I'm saying like how did you fight? Like just having the strength to fight through that and still make music and all of that and keep your mental where you need it to be to really commit to that music so you can still be the vibes cartel and deliver what people wanted to hear. And I understand that's a good question too because in Jamaican prison it's not like American prison. Jamaican prison is real dungeon style. You know what I mean? No toilets in the cells and crazy work. No toilets in the cell? No. You know what I mean? No toilets in the cells and crazy work. You know what I mean? No toilets in the cells?

No, you know how I got toilet in my cell when Lisa Evers did that piece? Is it the special? Yes. With Lisa Evers. That's when they put the toilet, installed the toilet in. It was crazy. Did you?

Unintended. So what did they? So what did they had you using before? Newspaper. Wow. Yes. Yeah, so you can read while you. Nah, man, it's a busy job. So what they had you using before? Newspaper! Wow! Yes! So you can read while you...

Nah man, it's a big scene. But I got, you know, you put out so much music, people assume that you had a studio in prison. Because the music didn't sound old, it always sounded new, it always sounded fresh. I mean, somebody passed away and you'd be talking about them in the song, I'm just joking. But you had, did you have a studio? No, I had a phone, the iPhone 5S. That's recorded like the Fever album. No.

I did the Viking album, yes. Really? I kid you not. Yeah man, 5S and a mattress and some prisoners looking out. That was it. That was it man, and determination and God himself. Wow. So that's it, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's crazy work.

Was there ever any time in that 13 years, especially when you started getting sick that you was like, man, I don't know how I'm gonna make it out of here? Yeah, man, there were times I thought that I wouldn't make it, but I still had to put in the work. I still had to do what I had to do. It is what it is, man. Like, if I die, at least I die trying. You know what I mean? Because that's just my mindset. You know what I mean? But yeah, there were times I was like I even talked to my mother I was like mom she was like no fight it man. Pray Yeah, I'm bigger to my mother. She's a blessing in my life as well

And how did you finally get out cuz they were fighting to keep you in for a long time. They weren't they were fighting appeals Anything that you tried they were fighting. What was that turn? Forever but I mean I sent when the case went to England you know I mean because the thing is Jamaica and I don't want to there's a lot of people in the system in Jamaica they support me as well but the system really just I think they wanted to make an example you know what I mean out of me because the case is clear cut like I've always told my manager my family. I'm coming out once my case reaches England I'm out and so said so done because it's open-shut case you messed up here. You messed up here. This is wrong

This is wrong freedom. I'm here's that have they ever apologized or said my bad. Sorry anything. I don't need apology sir Freedom the best apology exactly Exactly, so I'm good, man. I'm not looking back. I'm not even suing. Yeah, no, I'm not even pursuing, so no suing. Like, yeah, f*** that. How is your health now?

Work in progress. Yeah. Definitely a work in progress, but it was worse. When I came out, my head was this big, like the Pillsbury Doughboy. It was crazy, man. But we're working, yeah, but it worked. Can you describe the moment you were released?

What that emotion was? I'm still processing, I swear to you. Because there were times like I never lost faith, but when they actually opened the gate, I was the last one out of my cell. I was just like, am I dreaming right now? Like, what the hell is this? I had all my clothes on, the full white that you see me walk out in.

Didn't put my shoes on yet, and I just said a little prayer. I just walked out, man. When I was walking in the yard, and all the prisoners were shaking the doors, and it was like an earthquake, man. And I'm not gonna lie, I shed a tear or two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tears or two. Yeah, tears of joy. Yeah, tears of joy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then I just walked through the gate. But throughout my incarceration, I never cried, I never felt sorry for myself, you know? I just know that this is something that I have to get through and by the grace of God, man, God did. And what was the first thing you did when you got out? Because I remember when you got out. I said.

People were waiting for you to announce a show. Like everybody wanted a show, wanted music. But it took you some time for that. So what were you doing? The man just told you he was getting some cheeks. You think he played? For months, you know. Bad boy girl.

Exactly. Well, I was in prison for years, sir. Stop it. Come on. But yeah, man, I was just chilling with family mostly, like I said, my mother, my father, my kids, my grandchildren. When I came out of prison, I had three grandkids. But when I was going in, I had babies.

So 13 years is a long time, man. Trust me. For me right now, it's just God, family, music. That's it. And who was your biggest allies when you were locked up, celebrity wise? I know. Oh, Busta. Busta, he always says your name, always rang your name.

Easily Spice, easily Popcorn. You know what I mean? A lot of people, those are easily boom, I don't even have to think. My brother slash manager, TJ, you know what I mean? I Shawna, she came to visit me several times. Because a lot of people are scared So it wasn't that they didn't want to come but just the stigma associated with yeah

Yeah, so like spice like shana popcorn buster. I'm I gotta give it shout out to them man. Give them props All right, we got more with vibes cartel when we come back. Let's get into a vibes mini mix It's the breakfast club. Good morning. That was a vibes cartel mini mix morning everybody is DJ Envy Jess Hilarish Alameen Nagawe are the Breakfast Club we're still kicking with vibes cartel. Jess? Relationships are tough you know in general but what do you think made your relationship with your fiancee work while serving a life sentence? Because she believed. I mean she believed I met her in 2015 July 25th I will forget I mean we've been on and off you know I go she's in the free world I'm in prison she lives in her life still whatever blah blah blah, but she was always there Mm-hmm so in 2022 I decided like yo like I said I started being more spiritual putting my faith in God I told her I'm like yo, I'm coming out

Come to Jamaica and she came she left everything came to Jamaica. And she came, she left everything, came to Jamaica. Who was she at? She was, she's from London. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. You met her on Instagram, I heard that. Yes, sir. Wow.

Yeah, it was crazy. How could you trust that, though? That could have been catfish. I know, but like I said, it was years, 2015. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? And I was talking to her every now and then. We spoke and we started speaking on a regular basis

So it took a while for me to trust her. She actually came to Jamaica the first time in 2019 that's four years after we were talking just on the phone talking, you know, I mean I think E sex okay Okay, alright, yeah, we got it. Vogue sex. Vogue sex. That's right. Yeah. Jesus.

When she came in 2019, you actually got to put the face to the end and she looked exactly like the picture? Yeah, yeah, she looked exactly like the, that was before AI, so she couldn't shoot me. Okay, okay. Yeah. Got you. But she came to visit me and, you know what I mean,

it was a vibe. So in 2022, I was like, yo, come in, come to Jamaica, come live. She was like, are you sure? She's British. Yeah. I'm like, yo, come in, come to Jamaica, come live. She was like, are you sure? She's British. I'm like, yes, come. And she came and she did two years before I came out. So she came to visit me every time there was a visit.

If I was in a bad mood sometime and I'd be like, yo, I don't wanna see nobody. She'd cry or she'd come to the prison still. The guards would be like, hey, your fiance's outside. And I'm like, okay, I'll go. You know what I mean? So yeah, she's been there, man. Trust me.

You are king, man. Big up, Sidam, baby. Is it easy for you to resist the temptation, though? Being that you back on the road and you out in the streets, I know the women coming after you crazy. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. I flirt with the ladies. I'm five-score-ten.

Come on, man. Nobody can get out to see them. Only she can get out herself by messing up. But no girl on the planet can get her out of my life. You know what I mean? Yeah, so she good. What makes a person king of the dance hall? Because that's what they say. They call Vybz Kartel king of the dance hall. What qualifies a person for that title? Your dominance. Your influence. It's not necessarily selling records because I haven't sold records like Sean Paul. But if I walk through the streets of Jamaica and Sean Paul is on the other side of the road, he will go and notice. I mean, no disrespect, there's the influence, that larger than life vibe that we bring. If I say, oh, Clarks, everybody wear Clarks.

Put on a tattoo, everybody gets tattooed. You know what I mean? That kind of vibe. The bring if I say oh Clark's everybody wear So I'm not really fighting for the crown because the people gave it can't it be more than one king know You know people love to say beanie man, too Yeah, it can be more than one king not in our genre is one No, but that's what I'm saying remember who was the king in 1945 King George or something And more Kings come along. It's just life. That's what I'm saying. Like you can't hold on to it forever You can't gatekeep the crown. It's not yours to get was never yours to gatekeep You do your time you move on a new king is in town sir. Thank you

Now when you were locked up versus was big right? Yeah. Yeah. When you were watching that Did you think I would love to do a versus because dance was very competitive Yeah, and and if you could yes, who would you want to do? Obviously, yeah, they got my father too man. But yeah, that would be a crazy versus obviously I would win but Anybody catalog you you afraid of a little bit? Mavado got a big catalog. Mavado, Beanie. No, not Beanie or Bounty Killer, those guys.

Those are in a different class, remember? You know what I mean? Bounty Killer, Beanie, they locked the 90s to the early 2000s. Then Cartel came out. Elephant Man has a nice catalog, but he's not like a warrior artist. You know what I mean? What's a warrior artist? What's that mean? Like a cartel, a mvado, a bounty killer. You know what I mean? A massacre. Ready to go at it right now. Yeah. So, but no, no, no.

I think I have the biggest current catalog in dance hall because it's relatively young. It's 23 years. Yeah. You know what I mean? Lots of hits, especially in the dance hall landscape. You know what I mean? So- Is that missing in music though? Like me coming up in Queens and DJing parties, I would come up and then if someone, let's say you're in a club or Baby Sham's in a club, they would just grab and go at each other.

Yes. Wouldn't be physical. No, no. It would be music. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that's what's missing in dance hall? I think so too. I think so too.

And one of the reasons why I think so too is because of the internet. So a lot of these young kids, they got their fame from their bedroom. They made the rhythm in their bedroom, recorded it in their bedroom, made their YouTube channel, put it out. They can monitor their **** on iTunes or whatever. We on the other hand, we had to go in the streets.

We had to go to the studio. You know what I mean? So it was a more physical thing for us. In the same way, remember back in the day when records came out, you had to go to the record store? Now you can just take up your phone and be like, yo, extreme. So that's why I think they don't have the knack

for physical confrontation like we did. By physical, I don't mean like punching, even though sometimes that does happen. But like to just run up on a guy on stage, no. They're not gonna do that. I wouldn't think nobody would do that with Jamaicans anyway. But other Jamaicans, like that's what I was thinking. Yeah, because I would like, you talk ****.

When is his next show? There's a show at the Breakfast Club. We go in. Yeah, we run up. So yeah, that. Have you done that to somebody? Grab somebody's mic? No.

Well, Marvado, during me and Marvado, yeah, he used to run up on me a couple times. I run up on him. The last time I was in St. place. Uh well, during me and Mavado, yeah, yeah, he used to run upon me a couple of times. I run upon him. The last time I was in Saint Elizabeth. That was crazy. Which was then I got the concept to do the door run song. Mm hmm.

Cuz I had a a door run song before Sting. And then after Sting, then I was like, you know what, cuz he ran off stage two and he's related to you saying both. You know that, right? I'm joking. Yes know that, right? I'm joking. But yeah, but yeah,

it was now in hindsight, I mean, I'm glad we had that feud, man. It made us big and, you know, I mean, it spread dance out to places like Africa, which at the time we were like, these, these guys listen to us because you know, they don't showcase that

in the media then before the internet where you could just jump on your phone and see Africa for yourself. Yeah. So, I think clashing is good, man. I don't know. How do y'all get the good terms after clashing? The conversation? The first time we

had that conversation was the second time the government sent for us in Jamaica because the vice card of all the things was so big. School kids fighting people getting hurt. So, we were the King's house which is where I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was a kid,

I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was a kid, I remember when I was like, yo, I dropped a song. Why why don't you answer it? Like, oh, I didn't hear it and then I replied to it and

then I would drop a song and he would reply. So, we kept it like that and it culminated in us doing the West Kingston show when he called me on stage in West Kingston with Dada. Oh, that's smart. So, y'all kind of like planned it out. It was

strategic. Not in the beginning. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. After we went to the to King's House where the government was, we was like outside waiting to go in and we was just talking like, yo, to get the kids man, look, you know what I mean? Look where our music is doing, it's brought us here.

And then we just start like, yo, let's plan, let's be strategic. Absolutely. Well, let's get into a join off the album. What song do you want to hear for the people? I want to hear Porn Flick, my baby. I just want to see. I want to see the diss track. I just want to see the disc that you have in you. I just said that.

We're women. Yes, it's the vibe. Yes, I like that. Well let's get into porn flick right now. It's the Breakfast Club good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club that was porn flick from vibes cartel vibes is. Vibes is here. Now I got a question. So you know my wife is Jamaican, right? So I asked her, we have artists, something. So we look at it differently. So she was like, looking back, is there a moment in your career you

wish you handled differently at all? Or like you just said, do you have no regrets? Is there anything that you said I should have done differently? I don't know. When I hit Ninja Man with the mic on stage. I don't know, but because that's what I'm saying. Everything that I've done, it's still, even if it brought me know, when I hit ninja man with the mic on stage, I don't know, but because that's what I'm saying. Everything that I've done, it's still, even if it brought me down, when I came up, I came up higher. So I don't like that word regret, man. I don't know.

Yeah, I don't know. Cause if you believe in God, you really gotta believe everything happened for a reason. Even if it was just your own poor choice, it still got you closer to God, cause God got you through. Yeah, man, that's what I'm saying. Nothing I would do different maybe with the ninja man thing maybe I wouldn't have punched him maybe I would have just

kicked him. I don't know. Jesus Christ. Still some angels. That's funny. You're going to mess it up for all of us. Don't go back in time and **** that. Right, yo. Now what's something the public completely misunderstands about V.O.B.S.? I'm a fun guy. I mean, I like to vibe. I like to have fun. Like, if you don't know me, especially then, like, and if you approach me wrong, obviously I'm going to react. But if I'm comfortable around people, we cool, man.

We vibe it. Yeah, so a lot of people really, they think I'm just this evil person when I'm not. I mean, so yeah. Now, one of your biggest records, Romp and Shout. Yes. Did you ever get that clear? No.

That song put me on another level, again because like I said it's levels to it. The same Drake, Clarks did it, Summertime did it, Fever did it, you have some. My name is Harry Houdini. Harry Houdini could make elephants disappear, walk through walls and escape the Chinese

water torture cell. But he was also on a mission against mediums. I have never seen one genuine medium. Join me, Tim Harford, for a cautionary tales trilogy on the world's most famous magician. It takes a flim-flammer to catch a flim-flammer. Houdini wanted the world to see reason in an age of spiritualism. He went undercover to seances, exposed fakes and charlatans, and even tried to convince Washington lawmakers to ban mediums for good. A

campaign that cost him friends and made him many enemies. They're going to kill me. Listen to cautionary tales on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Israel Gutierrez, and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dove Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State Warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust of the players and let the

players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny 6'2 hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Russmore for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical Warriors ride. This is Dubb Dynasty. The Dubb's dynasty is still very much alive. Listen to Dubb Dynasty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Remember the rhythm, you know the thing, go publishing and you made the beat, but he's a rapper, but you know what I mean? So people think, oh, why didn't Envy clear the song? But you own the rights to the beat. Yeah, so yeah. Now also, when you perform, back in the late 90s and early 2000s, there was terms and words

that you could say that you could not say anymore Or they would try to cancel it. I know the 90s kind of back a little bit man. You never get in the roping shop I mean, yeah, take it right out ramping shop Was explicit. I mean, I don't know man play for the kids Very intolerant, which I think is changing now still because the world is changing So you got to be mindful of what what you say, you know, there's certain songs you don't do because of that Are you just I won't do Come on, well, that's like saying oh

Slavery was good. Let's bring it back. No So we're not gonna sing certain songs. You're not what I mean, come on. It's tasteful. Yes, it's tasteful sir, thank you. And also I'm sure over time you've probably seen Gal 2 Gal and they look beautiful together. What? Gal 2 Gal. He knows what he's talking about. He knows the song.

He likes it and all, right? He likes it and all. Don't Gal 2 Gal, Gal 2 Gal look beautiful together. Yeah man, I mean I don't, George and I don't look, I'm gay sir. I'm engaged, sir. I'm engaged, sir. That's what I'm saying. So yeah, I focus. Another question the wife had is, are you going to marry your fiance? It's been a while now. That's usually how it works.

When? You usually marry your fiance. Okay, this is the thing. I came out July 31st. Yes. Did the biggest concert in Jamaica history December 31st got my US visa Yeah, so I wanted to get married February 31st, it turns out No, because I've been so busy all over the place, we have to plan it. Her family is big, mine is big. But, no mistake, she's right here. I left her at the hotel, I don't leave her nowhere.

She's like my good luck charm. Exactly, right? She balances me, she calms me, man. So yeah, she good. Let me ask you a question about Jamaican culture. It seems like bleaching your skin is becoming more popular now. Like what is the fascination with that in Jamaica?

I mean, I think it has to do with, you know the usual issues, self-hate, the history of colonialism, colorism, it's all that. You know what I mean? And like, I was speaking to, I don't remember who I was speaking to, I don't remember who I was speaking to because even in like places

like Asia, skin bleaching is a big thing too and it has to do with that Stockholm syndrome because if you think about it, who in Asia bleaches the most is the the the the the the North, sorry, the South Koreans and the Japanese, the

Americanized kind of European, the they want that Eurocentric the American and the Japanese as a race because when I was bleaching like I literally looked in the mirror and I thought I looked better being light skin you know I mean so it took a time for me to yeah so it was a cosmetic thing when you did it yes okay okay definitely but I would never do that again and I'm, I'm very very glad to hear that, but even though in Love and Hip Hop Spice, she it was a message, it was a bigger message that she was trying to convey and it was exactly what she was saying. She's like man this is different in America than it is back where I'm from, you know?

Like you don't get certain things if you're not a fairer skin, you know? And people here, because Love and Hip Hop is American American people was looking at spice like what the hell Why would you you know your black skin is beautiful always you know what I mean? So but now I totally do get what you're saying is totally different. Yeah Because we only have blacks in Jamaica yeah, so for us it's not racism It's colorism like the lightest skin you are. It's like you climb social It's crazy work. Did you have any effects after that like long term because you were doing for a while like Pictures that I don't want to look at

I was bleaching and they would always send me pictures of you and have me side by side with you. Oh, you was bleaching? No, he was just ugly and then he was cute and loud. Damn. No, no. You had a whole face. It ain't like you were attractive. This is a tough room.

This is a tough room. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had cosmetic surgery. I did not have a nose job. Cosmetic surgery. I don't know. He had got a nose job. You got a nose job, Michael?

No, I did not know. Tell them the truth, Michael. I did not. What happened then? I used to have polyps in my nose. I would snore a lot and couldn? No I did not know. Tell them the truth Michael. I used to have polyps in my nose when I was snoring a lot and couldn't sleep. So they removed the polyps. I didn't touch my nose. My nose is the same. Okay okay. You called you Michael. Do you still get nervous when you perform?

What's nervous? Where is it sold? How does it taste? Is it contagious? We don't do nervous. I know that's right. We don't do that. Not at all. Do you like to go back to those areas that you grew up on? Like drive through Brooklyn? Never. Oh, in America.

I told you man. Why would I work so hard to leave? No! Go back. Never. No! I'm never going back. No sir.

But like in Brooklyn? I mean like areas in Brooklyn. Brownside. You said Hamilton. Yes, sir. Damn. But like in Brooklyn. I mean like areas in Brooklyn. And Browns. You say hang out and White Plains Road back in the day.

it was her birthday on the ninth and people have been posting and telling her happy birthday. She just posted in response to it and let us know that she was thankful for all the love and she really needed it at this time because she recently lost a baby. She said that she's been you know, trying to heal from the loss of her baby, which she realized would be two months yesterday. And she's also been you know, just in her thoughts about her mom her mom passed away not a little bit ago and You know, she's just been trying to heal from that She's so she says to all the fans and everyone who posted and told her happy birthday

Yeah Lord have mercy Everybody going through something? Yeah, and you never know what people going through either. That's the big thing. So Neo sat down with Angie Martinez and he talked about his relationship. He answered a lot of the questions

that I think some people had about how this whole thing works. So one of the things that they talked about was, what are some of the challenges of dealing with, he has, I believe it's for or for girlfriends. So let's take a listen to Neil. What are the challenges? Be honest, because don't make this sound like it's the no, no, no, no, no.

So one of the major challenges is time, because I don't have a lot of free time. You know, I have seven beautiful children. I have a career that is still moving like, you know, like it's still 2025, I mean, 20, 2005 in this thing so I don't have a lot of free time and everybody needs their own individual time you know we do things as a group but in a relationship like this you have to make sure that individual time is just as point as group time so you know there's certain situations where one may feel like this one is getting a little more attention or this one is getting a little more time or something like that.

But again, whenever that happens, I bring everybody together. We all hash it out right then and there. Okay, let's bring your issue to the table and we resolve it as a group. That's the only way it works. You're having a good time. I'm having a great time. I'm having a great time. Are you tired?

No. I was wondering if he, that was the main thing I was watching to see like if he talked about how he talked about his kids or he talked about his women. All of them. All of them. Yeah but then also yeah. So he's like you really got like 11 kids what do you mean you just call a meeting this one me feel like I'm spending too much time with this one it just sounds like he's like a father again like to a whole other set of kids and let's hash it out put it on the table what What didn't you like today? You know, okay, I didn't suck your toes today, but I did you know what I'm saying? Yeah What about anybody period on at the same time? Oh That's gotta be something right and he can go get a fifth and also but what if everybody period on but one and it's sex

It's time so I can only be with this one I can only be with this one. Do the other two get jealous or do they say, hey, we understand? They gotta understand. Well, he did say that he takes time with different, you know, the different women separately, but he said that, you know, there are some times where one woman at the time might be the person that he goes to for movie talk or like he has different things. An avalanche in the corner, fist balled up, they upset.

I think they have an understanding is what it seems like what I gather from this conversation is that they have an understanding. He does give each woman separate time because they're separate like they're all individuals. They're different. Yeah, they all got a role to play. You got a point guard, you got a center, you got a forward, you got a shooting guard. Yep, he said he might talk to one about art, the other he might watch Zeus with. So he got the best of both worlds.

I don't know that's fair. I don't know nobody I watch Zeus with man. That's the young one, I guarantee you. She's the youngest he might watch Zeus with. So he got the best of both worlds. I don't know who anybody I watch Zeus with, man. That's the young one, I guarantee you. She the youngest out of all of them. Did he also say that they're not allowed to date anybody else? Yes, he did, and we have that clip. Let's take a listen.

The main rule is just to keep it a buck. Like, we're not gonna lie. I love that. We're not gonna lie to each other. We're not gonna sit up and blow smoke. We're not, I ain't selling no dreams, and I'm not forcing anybody to be here. If for whatever reason you decide to sing for you no more

The door is never locked. Everyone that is here is here by choice These are girl women The most the question I get asked the most is are they allowed to date outside of me? That's the question I get all the damn time and I'm answering right now. No, here's the thing when I got with these women I did not ask for their exclusivity. I did not demand their exclusivity They offered it. I said you understand that your exclusivity to me does not mean my exclusivity to you Okay with this. Yes. Okay, cool since you are offering your exclusivity and I'm taking it now There's rules that I need you to follow but at the same time I don't do ownership

So should that situation never ever come up nothing is above a conversation I'm gonna close the bar for Neil Hey drop a clues bar Neil like I'm the head of this house I am the head nigga in charge I am the head of this class You don't like those rules? Head on out Young buckhead Young buckhead Definitely your head ass. Sure. To each his own. Is that a life you would want to live? To each his own. He said he might not even live it forever. He says I'm talking to you. Envy not going to answer that. No. Would you want to try? Would you want to try? No. If you can hum you can hear. You heard him the first time. Exactly. I said no. I did see Neo the other day though. I saw him when he was up here. Did you give him a high five? I gave him a pound. What did you say? I gave him a pound. And what did you say? I gave him a pound. And what did you say?

It don't matter what I said. And what'd he say to you? How's that one? I said, hey man, be safe out here in New York. You see what happened with Young Buck when he got caught without his hat on. Don't get caught out here slumming. That's what I said to him.

No, that's not what I said to him. His hats don't fall off. No, they don't. They be glued on like that wig you got on right now. You hear me? I'm not the one. But I only know it's glue cause you told me, I thought it was real. No, a couple of days ago I said, you know why your wigs look good?

Cause they look real. Yes. What the hell? Why did you point to Lauren? Are you saying Lauren said yes she did? Nobody pointed to Lauren. You did point to Lauren. Yes. No it didn't. Just the same way you did here in the end you pointed to me. And Envy the shoe head was a wig too. I just be putting the

wigs off. They look good. The EZE was a wig? Yeah. First of all that was yesterday. No, that was my real hair. Hey, yo, don't play with me. That is my hate display. All right. That's all right.

Why did Justin do that again? I don't know. He sound like Bob Cartel. I don't know what the hell you just did. What the hell you just did? What the hell you just did? Four after the hour, Dr. Keeva Locke needs to come to the hell you just did. What the hell you just did? Say it to me. What the hell you just did? What the hell you just did? Four after the hour, Dr. Keeva locked me to come to the front of the congregation, man. We gotta protect our kids.

We'll discuss. All right, we'll get to that next at the Breakfast Club, good morning. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Wow. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey, donkey, donkey.

It's the donkey, donkey, donkey. What the fuck is that, yeah? That's how I'm for the donkey of the day. That's pretty fun. Yes, Dunk here today for Friday April 11th goes to a 53 year old woman named Dr. Keeva Lark. Now Keeva is from Florida and you know what your Uncle Sharla always says about the great state of Florida. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. And today is no exception. Okay, Dr. Kiva Lark is an assistant principal

at a middle school in Florida. And she was arrested after allegedly forcing a student to massage her feet and saying inappropriate things to him. Let's go to WESH NBC 2 for the report, please. Foot rubs and nicknames. An assistant principal at Lake Marion Creek Middle School in Pontiana is accused of behaving inappropriately with a student. Polk County Deputy say 53 year old Dr. Kylo Lark told a 13 year old boy to rub her feet. It was allegedly punishment for throwing paper during a test.

Witnesses say she told the boy she was doing it so he would know what foreplay is for when he gets a girlfriend. Witnesses also told deputies Lark would refer to the boy as sexy chocolate while passing him in the hallway. Lark told deputies it was a joke and just trying to humble the boy. Ash turns, he turns he turned at 13 soon right? 13 Monday. He comes home and tells you that. What happens? I'm going up there. What are we talking about?

We just gonna have to homeschool our kids at this point. We are never gonna get a handle on our parental paranoia if we don't, you know what parental paranoia is, right? The anxiety you feel just being a parent. How can you properly function knowing that we are taking our kids to places that are supposed to be safe spaces, places that are supposed to be safe spaces, places that are supposed to be making them better, but they have to deal with humans

like Dr. Keeva Lark. Now, let the record show, I come from an era where older women in my life needed their feet rubbed. God damn it. Okay. I'm from Moncks Cornerstove, Carolina. You already know rubbing an older woman's feet was a regular occurrence, at least in my life, but not just any woman.

Your grandma, okay. You're not a good grandchild if you haven't put some warm water and some Epsom salt in occurrence at least in my life but not just any woman your grandma okay you're not a good grandchild if you haven't put put some warm water and some epsom salt in a basin and then rubbed your grandmother's feet okay but dr. Keeva Lark at 53 you may be old enough to be this 13 year old little boy's grandmother but that is not your grandchild okay not to mention you got a witness who said that you told the child you was doing this so that he would know what foreplay is for when he gets a girlfriend. What? You also referred to this little 13 year old boy allegedly as sexy chocolate while passing him in the hallway at school. Now she is from a

certain era. Was she trying to say sexual chocolate? Like in coming to America? Either way it's inappropriate. Listen to me, I this young man's pain okay it's hard being handsome your whole life right when you are handsome your whole life when you got that glow about you these older women can't control themselves trust me I know they already experiencing menopause hot flashes all the time and here we come just all handsome making them feel intense heat and sweat even more. But just because we've been handsome our whole lives does not give these older women the right to take advantage of us.

Now Dr. Keeva Lark admitted several days later that she crossed the line. She said it was only a joke and that she was trying to humble the student. Humble them for what? She even said her actions were inappropriate, but she denied saying anything inappropriate to the student. Humbling for what? She even said her actions were inappropriate but she denied saying anything inappropriate to the student. I have no reason to believe you ma'am but I keep stressing this over and over and over again. Give young men that are being taken advantage of by older women the same level of concern you do young girls being taken advantage of by older men. And furthermore don't become a teacher if you don't have the ability or desire to empower

kids. Teachers provide kids with the tools and opportunities to learn, grow, and become confident. We're trying to have teachers that are raising young men and girls to be capable individuals in this society. If you're just a predator getting into education because you wanna hurt kids, do us all the biggest favor and die, okay? You can't be out here as a 53 year old

woman assistant principal, getting your feet rubbed by a 13 year old allegedly calling them sexy chocolate and telling them that you want him to know what foreplay is for when he gets a girlfriend. Oh God. What Mac? What? Big Mac?

Medium sized Mac just walking in the room. Nah nah I just you were saying some things I didn't all the way agree with because hear me out. Oh boy. Nah nah for real now listen to me think about what she's doing she's doing a good service for because nah don't look at me like that Envy think about it how many things did you learn in school that you do not use today? Mac. Long division why did not use today? Mac.

Long division. Why did I learn that? Mac. Mac. Write in cursive. No way. I'm trying to talk to the people. Think about it.

I don't even write in cursive no more. Nobody write that. The square root of why. Why what? But rubbing a female's feet for foreplay, how many women really wish? I am currently holding up. How many women wish they man did that? I am holding up Dr. Keeva Lark's mugshot to the camera right and I'm showing just hilarious

Yeah, she had to fight. She walked the Selma. She got her 2,000 steps in walking the Selma.

Now when we come back, Anthony and the City. The bags under her eyes got bags. And Mark said, that's carrying luggage. You know what I'm saying? got bags. I know. That's carrying luggage. You know what I'm saying.

This one is just running a little late. The first special guest we have is Anthony Anderson. Welcome, brother. What's going on, baby? How you feel? I'm good, I'm good. All right. Marcey Martin was supposed to be here, but you say you blame yourself for her not being

here? You know, it's my fault that she has become the star that she is, and I don't blame her, but she Hollywood today. She's 16 minutes late. When y'all are filming together cuz y'all in the new movie together G20 when y'all filming together how do you get out of the rhythm and mind state of black is because y'all did that for so long yeah you know what that was something that we never really discussed while we were on set you know Viola you know requested me to be her husband and then they were

looking for someone to play our child or children and I told them to hire Marseille. And never once did Marseille and I discuss the rhythm that we have had because we have a great shorthand with one another for eight years and 175 episodes of Blackish. But you know, I made it, I wanted to make sure that no one confused that or saw us falling to that pattern just as actors and knowing someone the way that we do and I hope we didn't. Did you guys see the movie yet? I see something like that. I don't think we did, you know, and it's something that we never discussed with one another but

it's something that we talked about, you know, since we've been out doing press and people ask us that question. She's here. Ladies and gentlemen, she's here ladies and gentlemen she's here oh my god it was worth the wait good morning it was worth the wait I'm gonna be honest with you he was just talking sh** about you he definitely was I'm aware she knows and I told them I created this monster.

Thank you, thank you. Both of you and Viola play ex-military in this film. Yes. When she called you, you say, okay, I gotta get in some type of shape because I know Viola gonna be in shape. How do you know he wasn't in shape before? I tried. Viola's an artist.

I tried. Did you train? I did not train at all. You read the script, I got my ass kicked. I was like, I ain't gotta train for that. But no, no, I fought for it. I fought for it. I fought for it. I fought for it. I fought for it. I read the script, I got my ass kicked. I was like, I ain't got to train for that.

But no, I thought I was in decent shape to portray whatever it is. My name is Harry Houdini. Harry Houdini could make elephants disappear, walk through walls and escape the Chinese water torture cell. But he was also on a mission against mediums. I have never seen one genuine medium. Join me, Tim Harford, for a cautionary tales trilogy on the world's most famous magician. It takes a flim-flammer to catch a flim-flammer. Houdini wanted the world to see reason in an age of spiritualism.

He went undercover to seances, exposed fakes and charlatans, and even tried to convince Washington lawmakers to ban mediums for good, a campaign that cost him friends and made him many enemies.

I'm Israel Gutierrez, and I'm hosting a new podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of how the Golden State Warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade. The Golden State Warriors once again are NBA champions. From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport. I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust

of the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down. Today, the Warriors dynasty remains alive, in large part because of a scrawny six foot two hooper who everyone seems to love. For what Steph has done for the game, he's certainly on that Mount Russmore

for guys that have changed it. Come revisit this magical warrior's ride. This is Dubb Dynasty. The Dubb's dynasty is still very much alive. Listen to Dubb Dynasty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. They needed me to do in this film and it was cool. It was great. But yeah, when you get a call from not just Viola Davis, Viola is an EGOT man.

I mean, you know, when somebody like that requests you, you know, you have to show up and show out. And I believe that's what we all did, Marseille included. Now Marseille, how's it dealing with Anthony? Because he's been in your life for so long, right? And this is when you were a lot younger, you're 20 years old now. How is it dealing with him?

Fuck this up. Okay, I've been through this before. I've played these games before. I already did. I mean, I've played these games before. I mean, I was just going to dump it all up. Just go, just be honest. Just go talk to him. Just talk to him, don't worry about it. Just speak to him. Okay, I'll listen gonna double it up. Just be honest, just go talk to him.

Just talk to him, don't worry about it. Just talk to him. Speak from the heart. Speak from the heart. He is always a, will forever be like my bonus dad. I love him so much. He's seen me from, ever since basically I came out the womb to now. Well, not that far back.

I mean, I was- Your real daddy has something to do with that. Yeah, Well, I was eight. Okay. Yes, sir So it's been a minute and I mean it was it was so much fun. And honestly it was filming once again It just was like picking up where we left off So but I want to say this about Marseille Marseille came in and auditioned for black at eight years old Yeah, I witnessed her greatness. Everything that the world is seeing right now, I witnessed this at eight.

And I pulled her aside and I told her this. And this is where she is. I also told her that one day I'm gonna be coming to her and begging for a job. So I just need you to remember this moment right here. So when I come to you, you got my back. And she was like, I got you. Now you promised promised a call when she turned 16 was that true I mean I want to talk about that I did I did no I promised you First off, she ain't got driver's license. Okay, I was gonna say that. I'm a responsible parent. I was gonna say that. I'm a responsible parent.

He didn't know that for a minute though. He just didn't. You don't think I'd keep in contact with your mama and your daddy for real life? I'd talk to him. But still, they ain't like, oh, Marcia got a license. Do you have a license? I don't. That's why you ain't grown yet.

You're just grown-ish. Hold on, hold on. I do have a car though. She doesn't just have a car, she has a vehicle. I have a car. Okay, all right. But Michael, I have a... That's nice.

Well, you ain't got tech stock. Why you telling them what you got? I just, I have something. The world only got a luxury car. I was gonna say... She has a luxury vehicle with no, not even a license. She ain't even got a driver's permit. Okay.

She must have a driver's permit. You know what we call that? We call that d***ish. Have you met her real moment there? I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. She even got a driver's permit. Okay It's there whenever whenever I decided to take that I definitely said I wanted to get it before I turned 21 I can't be legal in these spaces

And I'm glad she no longer wants the car that she asked me for so I'm good I'm off the hook Oh, yeah, no, what do you have? She wanted a purple electric car. I'm not gonna mention the name, but she wanted a purple Literally I went to the I went to the electric car place and And built it for and all that Yeah, I did G wagon you got since we talk about Wagon no, let's talk about this movie, G20, that starts streaming globally.

We just don't make regional movies. We make global movies. Right, baby girl? I wanted to ask you about that, Anthony, because I feel like your international presence has grown tremendously. Have you been intentional about that? Always been intentional about that, man. And you know, when it started, when I started making movies with Jet Li, 27 odd years ago. First one was Romeo Must Die and that really was just on a global scale.

And then to be able to work with some of the people that I've worked with in almost 30 years, man, with Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Jim Carrey, the Fairly Brothers, Martin Scorsese, you know, just people like that. It just continues to grow and get bigger. Yeah, so it's really been intentional And what is also intentional to move away from the comedy at one point to do more dramatic roles So I wouldn't just be typecast. It's just a fat funny dude. It was like no, this is what I do I've been training at this since I was nine years old

So let me really show you my range and what I can do And so we were I was able to do that by doing shows like Law and Order and the shield and movies like Hustle and Flow And the departed and things like that. All of those were strategic moves. Yeah, and speaking of range How was it seeing Viola Davis in her action? No, I said she's a hack. No, I didn't say it's an act Yeah, you've seen Viola cry on screen Snots not We made a joke about her snot bubbles, you know what I'm saying? We didn't even make a joke about her and her snot bubbles and tears on Blackish.

It was great to work out. You know, she don't talk about Viola snot bubble enough. That was like Denzel's glory tip. Yeah. No, but working with Viola was a dream come true. And I mean, look, man, she's an E. God. Yeah. There are only about 18 EGOTs in the world.

And, you know, we got to work with one in a very special way. Yeah. All right, we have more with Anthony Anderson and Marce Martin when we come back. Their new movie G20 is available on Amazon Prime now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Anthony Anderson and Marce Martin, and their new movie G20 is out right now. Jess? What does a Black-ish reunion look like? I don't think it's ever gonna happen. Damn. Marce don't show up to things.

Damn! Why are you putting all this on me? Because I can't put it on Tracy. She don't show up. Why that? Cause I can't put it on Tracy. Why that? Me? No.

We would love to have a, we would love, and I hope we have a Blackish reunion soon. How long have you been since the show ended? Like two, three years? Almost been scoring on three years. Yeah, I was 17 going on 18. Yeah. How close is everybody, the they got everybody still keep in touch Yes, my twin miles. He's truly my best friend playboy cardi now

He's in his play He's just outside. Oh damn! Oh, okay, well I'm gonna have to start calling my man Playboy Cardi. I'm gonna have to pick up another name for him. He just really likes the guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But no, he's my best friend. Hold on, I didn't want to put that on him.

We have a friend group like all together and we're working on some things as a whole. Did you call him back last night? Did you facetime him after we were done? No I went to sleep. He knows what it is. I have to sleep by 9.30 mentally so I'll be turning off my phone. We talk all the time. How was the disrole scratching you Anthony because you know you said it's a drama and like you all know for the comedy and you're also playing like the the the the nurtural role yeah like my man's not an actor like you don't play one part. Like the head of the household in this one. No I'm talking like that Andrew. Yeah no I'm not. He's asking questions. I get it. He didn't see nothing. Um so you know again goes back to you know the dynamic between Marseille and I you know not falling into that shorthand that we have and you, I've been a part of some great films with action in them.

I've never been a part of an action film. And so I just had to be prepared for that to make sure that it was believable. And it's not all that's just Ann up there going through the motions and doing that. So you know, I showed up, you know, as I could. And to answer your question about, you know, it's role reversal. You know, normally the man is the President of the United States, you know, and the First Lady is being the nurturer. So these roles were reversed, you know, and you rarely get to see that, you know, and I was playing the nurturing role in this character or with this

character from my children and allowing the power, not that women don't have power, use that power and have that power in films, but allowing Viola's character had to have that power and wield it and not be emasculated by it and just understand that I'm standing next to this right here, we're in this together, but she has her role and I have mine. So I just wanted to make sure I showed up for that and not fall flat. And so people's like, oh, okay, that was believable. That was real.

Could you be in a relationship like that in real life? I could. I'm secure in my masculinity and my manhood and who I am and what I bring to the table. So yeah, I could definitely be secure in a relationship. You would have to have the money and power though. It doesn't matter. We're a team.

How did that work for you Marce? Cause you're the boss. Yeah,, you got your own production company, you are a boss in the room. How would you want the man to show up? Oh my. Yeah. Honestly, I think it's communication and listening and understanding and a willing to understand.

I feel like at times I've had multiple conversations with a bunch of different people and I think the main thing is them ready to respond without actually listening and understanding what the whole situation is. You hear that race car driver guy? Oh, god. And he's really great at that, honestly.

Great at being a race car driver great at being what you need It was no vulnerable Understanding no he is and it looks you know I get that from from the two come two or three conversations that I have Yeah, yeah, he's great, and I mean I think what's important is is that because if he was not I was gonna run him off Cause if he wasn't, I was going to run him off. I was going to run him off. He's embarrassing dad. That's what it just seems like. Just being real. Hey man, you're not good enough. But he is.

He's the best. I know you got your production company and everything. You've done a lot. She about to ask you for a job, Marcia. No, I wasn't. I didn't even ask nothing yet. Damn, I wanted to know what else did you want to do? You know, at a very young age, you've done so much. You've still got a lot more life to live and a lot more career to go. What else do you want to do? You know you at a very young age you've done so much. You still got a lot more life to live and a lot more career to go. What else do you

want to do? I think seeing how far my creativity can get. I'm working on my festival right now which is very world-building for me which is very exciting. It's called Say Summer Cookout and it's a destination type of festival. So the first year was in Atlanta, second year was in D.C. This year it'll be in Houston. Nice. In August 31st. So that would be exciting.

What do you do there? What do you do there? What do we do? It's black owned businesses, vendors from, it's like Texas based vendors this year. We have performers of course, that is from and catered to that community and it's HBCU centered. So I think that is

something that I've always wanted to do. It's an avenue that I feel like is so untouched and mostly overlooked. And I'm very excited to and also be in touch with new adults my age. You know going through the same things. I mean even though I'm doing this and you see a camera on my face there is no difference between that person and I. When the camera goes off. So, and it's no phones. It's no phones. Oh, wow. It was the first year we did No Plus Ones. It was literally come as you are and to be

able to have these celebrities and these students want to become them one day or do something in that light and they have real conversations at the cookout. I mean, it's something that I've truly wanted to do. And then on top of that, we have podcasts, of course, still movies coming up. I have a movie coming out with Corneavy Vance soon, which is very exciting. So, I think.

That's okay, we're not here to talk about those things. I mean, we're talking, she said, what's next? Okay, are you just talking, you're gonna just set up a movie. Well G20 is streaming now on Amazon. Not just streaming now, streaming globally. Globally. Tell the people globally. We don't make regional films.

Thank you so much Marce Martin and Anthony Anderson. Oh I thought you forgot about me. Now she told me to say her name first. No she should. How did I do that? By showing up the way that you did. They know who the real diva is. You've earned it, Marce. Yes, you have.

You're 20 years of life. Yes, you have. You've earned it. First on the call sheet. She was the reason we got the first three seasons of Lackage on air. I'm just gonna give it to her. Oh, God bless you.

Somehow, some way he play your son. What? But somehow, he said, hey, who's gonna be the death. So she can son me? That's right. That's right. I gotta say.

You gotta warn her, man. Say science fiction, something. Science fiction. And then you gotta put me in here. Let's make it a horror flick. It has to be a horror flick. It's made by Craig. It has to be something that's just in it.

She did that, not me. Not me. That was all her. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ. It's DJ. It's DJ. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne N'Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Pastor Aux. My DJ What's up, guys girl big Nile Simone yes, how are you may fresh off dreamville fresh? Yes, I had a great it was raining weather was nasty. It was right now no we can't. Yeah, I was like, nah lot here on this show. I hate N-word. I'm not saying it no more, but I hate people that say they're gonna do something and then don't do it. No, and I was looking for you. Black people, probably. Jess, I'm not gonna drag you into it, but envy. I was supposed to come Sunday, but I didn't.

The weather was disgusting, and it was... You went Friday, Saturday, and Sunday? Yeah, I threw a party Friday, then Saturday, and Sunday. I just was outside. So tell us about it. It was fire. I wanna say this was Cole's best set list ever. I think he usually does like the same order,

but this time he did a lot of like mix tape, V-Sides, like the songs people who are real friends actually listen to. So that was dope. Obviously Juvi, Manny, Wayne, dope. Erykah Badu, magical. I finally got to see Erykah Badu last, so that was really dope.

That's killed it. Where my merch? See I'm prepared okay, I'm prepared but not this week though. Yes, it was dope Okay, um this week. I want to get into Deontay Hitchcock. He actually just dropped an album This is his first project since being an indie artist So he's been in like a label deal that had him stuck and he couldn't really do anything. So now that he's free, he's out. And the song that I like the most so far

is called Born Broke, Die Rich. I ain't gonna lie, I used to rap like that when I was on a perky. Yes. Devontae can rap his ass off. I've been liking him for a long time. I used to post his videos back in the day when he used to be rapping in the car.

Yes, those car freestyles. That was years ago. Atlanta. Oh, okay, okay. That's what's up. Yeah. Also, the clean version doesn't really do any justice, so definitely make sure you guys go check out the project. This is fire. You really got this wig in the studio. Oh, my God. Okay. Next, I'm going to go with this Quavo and Lil Baby record. It's called Legends. I feel like I've heard that a million times already. You know what I mean?

Yeah, no, I get it. Sounds like a version of several different songs I've heard over the years. And it feels like, I mean, it's never really too late, but it feels like it's a little too late. Like there was a moment when QC was red hot. I would have loved that Amigos, Lil Baby thing like that. That's Quavo, but you know what?

The ad-libs, dude, I still miss those ad-libs though. Oh yeah, you sound like the Amigos little baby. Yeah, that's great. That's crazy. But you know what the adlibs dude. I still miss those adlibs though Oh, yeah, you sound like the Amigos Amigos and Amigos record And take off would have been you know take off would have floated on that You know what I'm saying? I feel like I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't highlight the record That's all but um, they did say about it. I don't love it. I feel the same way you guys feel but Lauren was saying that offset tweeted a trash can and then about it? I don't love it. I feel the same way you guys feel. But Lauren was saying that Offset tweeted a trash can and then deleted it. I don't know.

Now I might think. Geez. Okay, so I have two more records. This one is from Ray Vaughn and it's actually a pretty serious record. He's telling his life story. It's called Flat. I love that one. Yes.

If you guys are into storytelling, definitely make sure you guys tap in and then my last one is Our R&B record is Dustin Conrad and Tizzo touchdown. It's called the last time. What y'all think? I was curious Nice vibe. Not mad at the vibe. It's cool. Okay, younger generation loves Dustin Conrad. Don't try to blame it on youth It definitely is. Jess is only 33

Yo there's a- I'm saying somebody don't like her a little bit. Even younger, yeah. Y'all always... No! How cool. I'm just saying they are a big deal. I feel like for some reason the disconnect.

There's a disconnect. Like Eli was in the other room like... This is the jam, it's going down. And then you guys are in here like... You know Eli was out three days so he had to get his stomach pumped. What does that got to do with anything? Well, I went too much owl semen.

Okay, so I don't take nothing he says. Wow. Wow. All right. Wow. Okay, does that guy have any connection to OVO, who you just played? No. Toronto in any way? No. Oh, okay.
