All the time.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I know right? Every time that song come on. All the time. Alright, well let's get in some front page news. Starting with some quick sports, the Gators beat the Cougars, the Houston Cougars in the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship last night, 65 to 63. So congratulations to the Florida Gators. Sounds like it was a good game. Yeah, very good game.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Too bad I don't care about men's college basketball. No, very good game. What up Morgan? Hey y'all, hey. Yes, that was indeed a good game and shout out to Florida for the comeback. That was like, Ikyulys. Woo, they deserved that. All right, so first up on the front page, President Trump won big in the Supreme Court regarding a deportation case and the Alien Enemies Act. But before I get into that, let's talk about the recent visit Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had with President Trump.
Starting point is 00:06:34 So Donald Trump says he's the best president for Israel, even with the new tariffs. Speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the president said Israel will always be a close ally. While Netanyahu, the president said Israel will always be a close ally. While Netanyahu praised President Trump for his support, let's take a listen to their bromance that exchange that they had, the two. Many friends in Israel, they are not in an easy area, it doesn't go easy, but we are helping them and likewise they've been helping us. You've been a remarkable friend of the state of Israel.
Starting point is 00:07:06 You stand by us. You're standing with us. You are a great, great champion of our lives. So Netanyahu said he will start to tear down any trade barriers. Of course, this is a result of President Trump's reciprocal tariffs. You know, he's put those on everybody. It don't matter who you are. So Netanyahu said he will start to tear down any trade barriers between the two countries. And he went on to say the country will continue
Starting point is 00:07:33 to work with the US on trade. Let's take a listen to Netanyahu. We will eliminate the trade deficit with the United States. We intend to do it very quickly. We think it's the right thing to do, but to also eliminate trade barriers, a variety of trade barriers that have been put up unnecessarily. And I think Israel can serve as a model for many countries who ought to do the same. So Trump thanked Netanyahu for the discussion on trade between the US and Israel, adding
Starting point is 00:08:04 that of course the US, he continues to reiterate this, the US has been ripped off for years and we can no longer be the stupid people anymore. So it does appear just a little bit, at least with this particular ally Israel, that the trade deficit, the tariffs and all of that stuff, this particular country is coming to the negotiating table regarding that. Now Netanyahu also said that he still wants to get the hostages freed from Hamas in Gaza and is working with Trump on that.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Now Trump says he's communicating directly with Iran, speaking with the Israeli prime minister of course at the White House. The president said the Iranian backed militia group, they need to disarm immediately or he's hinting at military action. Let's take a listen to Trump regarding that. I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious. And the obvious is not something that I want to be involved with or frankly that Israel wants to be involved with if they can avoid it.
Starting point is 00:09:04 So we're going to see if we can avoid it. Yeah, so Trump also hinted at military action if a deal is not struck between the two Israel and Iran in regards to the whole situation going on in Gaza. Any thoughts on that, guys? It looks like in regards to at least our ally, it looks like the trade and the tariffs seem to be working in Trump's favor. I thought Trump didn't want any war.
Starting point is 00:09:28 I thought Trump didn't want any, you know, no fighting going on. I thought he was trying to see all wars. He has said that, but he also has said that, you know, basically, well, he's also threatening that you don't push him. Right. Pretty much. Yes period All right Well speaking of military president Trump reportedly wants to hold a military parade to celebrate his birthday
Starting point is 00:09:51 Multiple reports say the parade will happen through the streets of the nation's capital on June 14th The president's 79th birthday and the army's 250th anniversary So the parade will be four miles long going from the Pentagon to the White House. And apparently he did want to do this within his first administration, but the bill was too high. Something like $9 million or something, $90 million was quoted before.
Starting point is 00:10:16 So that's why he couldn't do it during his first term. But yeah, so he is expected to have one this term. Yeah, all these federal jobs lost. The economy is in the toilet, people's 401Ks being slashed, nothing to celebrate right now, my guy. Nothing to celebrate. And if he was worried about the nine million last time,
Starting point is 00:10:35 who's gonna take the nine million dollar bill this time? The taxpayers. I'm sorry, correction, 92 million was the price tag. 92 million? 92 million dollars. Isn't that wasteful spending? Where's Doge at when you need him. Doge can, well I guess he does have presidential immunity.
Starting point is 00:10:48 So, the Doge can intervene in a situation like this? That seems like wasteful spending to me. Let's take it up to the Supreme Court maybe. That's what we'll talk about at seven. He had a big win with the Supreme Court, so we'll get into that. You need to have a nice little light party at Mar-a-Lago for family and close friends.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Don't involve our military with that foolishness. Alright, well that is front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 1-800-585-1051. Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club.

So Monday, April 7, 2025, there was a video that began to surface online of a car accident scene. There was multiple people laying on the ground in this video injured and you see Boosie standing up. He's talking to, I believe it's like a cop or like a paramedic that's on the scene.
Starting point is 00:20:11 So people of course were like, yo, what's going on? Is Boosie okay? What's happening? So I reached out, I spoke to Boosie's publicist and Boosie's publicist told me at the time that, cause Boosie hadn't spoke out yet, that Boosie was okay. He wasn't hurt in the car accident. People were reporting that the car accident took place in Memphis.
Starting point is 00:20:29 It actually took place in Georgia and Boosie from what I'm told was the passenger in the car. They were riding in a car. Boosie was on his phone and next thing he knew the car was was hit. Right. Why would people lay down on the ground? I mean, it was a car accident. It was a car accident.
Starting point is 00:20:43 There were people that came out and everything. Yeah. And laid out on the ground. There was a was a car accident. All the airbags came out and everything. Yeah. But laid out on the ground? Yeah. There was a guy laid by the car. I don't know maybe he got out the car and like he was in pain so he laid down. I don't know. I would have did that depending on what kind of truck it was that hit me or what kind of car that hit me. That's facts. Let it be a Walmart or Target. I'd have been laid out. I'd have got him laid down too. I can't take you serious with that wig on bro. Either. It's so crazy looking at you in there. You look like Star Trek or? Do your show please.

He did end up posting and saying that he was a little bruised up but he's good. And I asked like you know because he's touring right now, he's performing a lot right now. But he going to take some time off and his publicist like, no, Boosie gets to his money.
Starting point is 00:21:27 So unless he's seriously hurt, he doesn't plan on stopping. But he did go to the hospital. And I'm told he only went to the hospital because the driver of the car was actually hurt. And he just wanted to make sure the driver was cool. That mean he didn't get hit by the right person. What? Because if I'd have got hit by the right person,
Starting point is 00:21:40 I'd be in the hospital right now. What? Almost dead. Hello? Now, why was Boosie's shirt off? Is Boosie's shirt always off when he drives? I don't, he was in a passenger seat, but I don't know why Boosie shirt is off. Why is that a question?

Starting point is 00:26:13 I do, I do. Lil' Riri. That's why I call him Lil' Red Riri. Well, in other news, well first of all, I'm glad Bootsy's okay and that everybody so far that I know of is okay and will be okay. But in the other news, Bow Wow and Omariyan, I don't know. What is happening? Bro, this is like the beef that just never ends, but it's supposed to not be beef.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Right, like what? I don't even remember them ever beefing. It's weird. It's a very weird thing because it's like a silent thing that has been going on for a long time This guy he wants to be a girl so bad When it matters Baby, baby, baby, baby. And he's gonna use some hands. I wanna hear the Omarion, Bow Wow. Okay, so.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Give me the tea. Got you, girl. So, Bow Wow sat down with Cam Newton, and they talked about a ton of different things, but they went through Bow Wow's history of beefs, and Cam Newton brought up Omarion. Let's take a listen. Omarion, was that a real beef? It's complicated. We can't just sit down and damn.
Starting point is 00:27:23 It has shit on it. I don't wanna talk. It's nothing to talk about. Not even in a bad way. When you let your hand out, you try to be the bigger person and try to rap, but you get no response. We're going to leave it right here then. You do your thing, I'm going to do my thing, we just going to keep the peace. But it's definitely not no beef. Like we in the same buildings. We pass each other in arenas, we might not speak speak because beef is if I see you at any place and time It's home where his own like his own site. That ain't what it is with us We've been through this thing for so long that where we are
Starting point is 00:27:54 He's 40 like I'm 38 like where we at now like not like we grown and it's just like we don't have to do that Now we got kids. We got our own lives where I'm going in my career is where I'm going. Where you going? Yes, where you going, is where you going. I wish you nothing but the best. And for me, the best revenge sometimes is time. You ain't even gotta do much. Salute to B.O.A. I just wanted to know when has it ever been on site
Starting point is 00:28:14 for B.O.A. with anybody? First of all. Y'all been pissing B.O.A. off recently. Nah, I mean, not that I know about. He said you were scared of him? Kim Newton asked him, oh, that's why he? No, Kim Newton asked him, did he, oh, that's why he did that. Kim Newton asked him, has he ever been in a real fight?
Starting point is 00:28:28 Oh. Oh my God, Kim. He did ask him that and he was like, yeah, of course. Like, yeah, I stifled. I think it's because he's had so many little like beefs, like it was like the little Romeo thing at one point. Then he had something with Eric Benet that I didn't even know was a thing. Eric Benet?
Starting point is 00:28:41 Yeah, oh my gosh, I should have got that audio. Yes, there was like a, it was like a Brandon. If you're listening, can you please grab the audio? We'll bring that back in the next hour. Cause I was like, you know, nobody has ever even asked me about that. No one's ever even addressed that. Um, but Omarion, go ahead. Not sitting in the interview and tell somebody nobody's ever bought that up. You know, I was beefing with somebody, but y'all keep skipping over it. Like nobody ever brings it up. I think it was like 60 like but they is 60 I would filters like you don't care I'm gonna be able to add some more context in a second but even uh what about when Omarion was here though
Starting point is 00:29:13 yes so when Omarion was here you guys asked him about Bow Wow making music with Bow Wow let's take a listen to that what about Bow Wow you think you and Bow Wow will ever do a joint album again? I'm not sure, I'm not sure. I feel like if I'm gonna do any collaboration, whether it be rapper, singer, I feel like they have to have like current music out, you know what I'm saying? Music that, and you know, current music of the last maybe three years,
Starting point is 00:29:39 you know what I'm saying? So yeah, if I'm gonna do a collaborative, it's gonna be like, okay, new music, we working on new vibes I thought we asked them our element about what was good though Nothing within he said I don't want to talk about it or we will see About B2k So I remember when y'all did the interview I had grabbed this to bring it back up the next day because then Bow Wow got on Twitter and everything started getting
Starting point is 00:30:07 crazy because a fan had tweeted Bow Wow, this was back in February, a fan had tweeted Bow Wow and was like, that basically they need to talk, Omarion and him need to talk. And he was like, no, I don't. And then they mentioned the tour and Bow Wow was like, what tour? Because the Millennium Tour announcement was happening. And that's why Omarion was here. I thought that Omarion, I know he means like peace and Zen and well, but I thought that that comment was a little shady.
Starting point is 00:30:28 You mean relevant and needed to do an artist that's relevant. Yeah, like if you're not dropping the music within the last three to five years, why would I do something with you? But that's also maybe his preference. Maybe he don't feel like he should have to revamp nobody. Maybe he feel like, yo, like I'm not saying, I'm just saying maybe that's his preference like if I'm gonna collaborate No when that jet-land in New York, I'm scared I ain't trying mess with don't call me Don't call me for help. Don't call nobody ever calls you
Starting point is 00:31:16 How about we have a Eric Benet Eric Benet 60 years old how what was he gonna do about fighting if we can't do it right now and bring the This is what this was an interesting one for me Eric Benet 60 years old. What was he gonna do with Bow Wow? Are they fighting? If we can't do it right now, I'll be happy. Let's take a listen. This was an interesting one for me. Eric Benet. I know where you got that from. By the way, you're the first person to ever bring of Eric Benet in a beef situation with Bow. But I know what you got,
Starting point is 00:31:38 because of the rap city freestyle. It was just a hard line to stab at him. You gotta think I'm a rapper, so you gotta be creative. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Eric Benet, Benet and Benat. You the X-Man. Because you know how he play the X-Man. I'm all that how he's got. It was just like a cute little fun jab to jab at him.
Starting point is 00:31:57 But I got our respect for Eric Benet. Say less. Oh, they didn't fight. I got to hear the context. I got to hear it in the flow. He said Eric Benet That ain't hit though what I gotta hear when you rapping it ain't sound right when he just explained it I'm gonna pull up on you now. So you keep playing with bow. Yes Yeah
Starting point is 00:32:19 Marian did comment guys and he said that to his knowledge There's no beef no unresolved issues unless there is one question mark no drama he's in a season where he honors what's real was reciprocal and will uplift the spirit we may cross paths and not exchange words and that's okay I wish him well on his journey I move forward with love clarity and the truth thank you to everyone who came out to the Millennium Tour and made it a great success and excitement and more great news to come see you soon You still that's a marion beef and over. I have no idea if it ain't dance moves No idea. I don't know y'all almost 40 y'all still on tour selling out arenas all over the country life should be good Like what do y'all really have an issue?
Starting point is 00:32:53 I can't take you serious with that you really think of anything like Samer Hall. Can you take that off? This was a social experiment Oh, it's crazy. This was a social experiment. This was a social experiment Lawrence wig person, baby. You gotta say that we need to just look at you for a second Yeah, but Lawrence wig person bought this wig now y'all sit here and couldn't stop commenting on this wig for nine ten minutes But y'all sit there and let me be the only person talking about would be on her head because this and that is totally because this and that is totally different. No it's not, it's the same thing from the same person. Alright gals, alright gals, alright gals, alright gals, alright. We have front page news when we come back, we got a Bow Wow record, we gonna play a Bow Wow record too man, salute the Bow Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Jess, you better hit a Harlem Shaker so, you already know. Don't you hit one, that wig will go flying. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. You're checking out 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. Again, congratulations to the Florida Gators.
Starting point is 00:33:58 They beat the Houston Cougars 65-63 to win the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. So congratulations to the Gators. Again, are you a Gator fan? I just like to do the NCAA men's basketball championship. So congratulations to the gators again. Are you a gator fan? Morgan? I just like to do the chomp. Oh, okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Well, good morning Morgan. And I do like that they blew an orange, you know, Morgan State, HPC. Anyway, I get it. I get it. All right, y'all. So let's get back into the front page news. Yeah, so President Trump is scoring a big victory
Starting point is 00:34:23 in the Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling on Monday. The court will allow the Department of Justice to remove alleged Venezuelan gang members from the country under the Alien Enemies Act. Now, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, says the ruling makes the lower court judge look bad. Let's hear from Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff. This was a huge, I mean, a monumental victory for President Trump. The biggest legal win of this administration so far. A total embarrassment for crazy Judge Boasberg, who's been trying to force this president to bring foreign alien terrorists back onto American soil.
Starting point is 00:35:02 So Trump may now invoke the night, excuse me, the 1798 law to speed up removals while things play out in lower courts. Now this will impact. Go ahead. You guys. I would say, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not that he's trying to bring gang members back. But you know, when you have people who get swept up that aren't gang members accidentally, accidentally, that's who they was trying to get back, right? Like it was the father from Maryland, if I'm not mistaken, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Yeah, we'll get into that. It's not just him, but it's also the fact that, remember that judge issued that ruling on whether or not all of those migrants could be shipped to Venezuela and to El Salvador. Remember there was that confusion about when the plane left and things of that nature. It's just a matter of the overall, how are you going to get rid of or so-called deport
Starting point is 00:35:49 these people? There's a way to do it. But based on this particular ruling, that means that he feels like the country is in some sort of turmoil, some sort of under attack. So if he feels like the country is being is in a vulnerable space, then we can pretty much get rid of people how we want to, period. That's kind of how that ruling goes. That's why it's so old.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Now that it's implemented, yeah, there's less grace, I'll put to that. You did talk about the dad, Kilmar Brego Garcia. He was deported after being arrested last month. Let's listen to his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura. She's the wife of the Salvadorian national who was accused of being a MS-13 gang member. Let's take a listen to his wife. I want to say thank you to everyone that has helped us, that has supported us in fighting this. And we will continue fighting for Kilmer, for my husband.
Starting point is 00:36:43 So basically, the Trump administration has, well, a judge initially ordered that the government returned Garcia back to the U S no later than 11 59 PM on Monday. But that Supreme court ruling has now blocked that. So there is still efforts to get him back. But also the Trump administration is saying that, you know, he is in fact an MS 13 gang member. ICE has proof of that. In fact, Attorney General Pam Bondi, she says President Trump will continue to obey the
Starting point is 00:37:13 law as it rules, whether it rules in his favor or against him. She made those comments on Fox News on Sunday. She said that Trump is doing what he said he would do and the courts are kind of getting in the way So she also again as I mentioned she said that ice has proved that the Maryland man was who was mistakenly Supposedly deported is an MS 13 gang member. Let's hear from Attorney General Pam Bondi The president is going to comply with the law He was overwhelmingly elected by an overwhelming majority of the United States citizens to
Starting point is 00:37:47 be our commander in chief and that's what he's been doing. ICE has testified, members of ICE, that he is an MS-13 gang member. And the defense, his lawyers have argued, well, he should be here because he was studying to be an electrician. So it is important to note that Abrego was in fact granted. He was granted a protective status in 20, I believe it's 2019. So I mean, he is here legally, but I guess if the administration decides otherwise, then the administration decides otherwise. So the attorney general also says that the real constitutional crisis in the US right
Starting point is 00:38:24 now is the fact that there's been over 170 lawsuits filed against the White House. You know basically saying that the administration is not able to do what they're they're trying to do because of this and she said it's her directive to get people like Abrego and others out of the country. Bondi said that they're looking for the safety of Americans and will continue doing so. So, yeah. I don't know about the person from Maryland situation. I have no problem with them getting rid of gang members, but I would like to know what
Starting point is 00:38:52 the proof is. I would like to know what the proof they have to know that he was a member of MS-13, because I think we the American people should know. So we know who to avoid in the streets, even know when to call the proper authorities if we see one. No, for real, absolutely. And not only that, it just stands to impact immigration as a whole because did you guys hear about
Starting point is 00:39:14 the Duke basketball player? And just the fact that visas are being revoked left and right. So if you haven't heard, there's a star center from the Duke men's basketball team who his visa has been revoked by the Trump administration seven foot two. Kamon Malouach is part of the Blue Devils team that made it to the final four on Saturday but he's from South Sudan and Secretary of State Marco Rubio
Starting point is 00:39:35 released a statement on X saying he plans to revoke all visas held by by South Sudanese passport holders immediately. So Duke University released a statement saying, they're looking into the situation and working expeditiously to understand the implication of how it impacts, of course, this player and Duke students overall. And Malawatch is, of course, also eligible for the 2025 NBA draft.
Starting point is 00:39:57 So I'm not sure how, I'm just basically going to keep an eye on that situation and see how that plays out for him in regards to that. That makes zero sense to me, but I am almost positive that his situation will be resolved. Yeah, it will be resolved with the amount of donors that I'm sure Republicans, the same donors that donated to Duke, I'm sure possibly donated to Trump. I'm sure they'll clean that up immediately. And doesn't that feel like overreaching when stuff like that starts to happen?
Starting point is 00:40:22 But it's not just them, you know, there's also visas being revoked by the Trump administration at California universities, you know, university students and alumni at UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Berkeley, UC Davis. They're among those also involved in a nationwide crackdown by the Department of Homeland Security. So you can't, you know, there's, he's one case, Matt Watch is is one case but you know that it's gonna be a blanket type situation and it shouldn't be like that though like you can't take a chainsaw to a situation like this you have to I would think you would have to be surgical with it well it's the same thing as the same thing as the Doge conversation you can't
Starting point is 00:40:58 just go in there with a chainsaw and just start cutting jobs you got to go in there and be surgical with it yeah well well yeah well if the administration feels like the country is vulnerable right now then they can essentially get rid of people who are not citizens. I know the brother from Duke ain't no threat. I know that much so that that that right there alone lets me know that they need to be more surgical with this if somebody like him is you know getting his visa revoked. That's right. Listen that's pretty much your front page news. All right. So y'all can follow me on socials at Morgan Media and for more

Starting point is 00:42:18 It's called Five. Five. My fifth album. Yeah, fifth album, yo. You, you the one, yo. It's a lot of hype surrounding you, yo. Like, seriously, you one of the one. There's a lot of hype surrounding you. Seriously, you're one of the most followed African artists on IG and Twitter, YouTube,
Starting point is 00:42:32 anything you drop, go crazy, do crazy numbers, all your collabs, everything. How's all that success impacted? Man, it feels good, man. I stayed here a little time in my life, so just to see everything come around full circle for the culture, you know what I'm saying, even since when I was in school I was always like pushing the African narrative and for it to just naturally pop off. That's crazy. You feel like one of the godfathers of Afrobeats and Afrobeats music because you were one of
Starting point is 00:42:58 the first to really pop and commercialization pop. Yeah definitely you know what I'm saying, especially in the new age of the commercialization of the genre, you know what I'm saying, yeah. We have a lot of Godfathers though that came before me, you know what I'm saying, but we commercialized it, you know what I'm saying, made it cool, made it popular, so yeah, I take that. Did it hurt or help?
Starting point is 00:43:20 Because it almost felt like it was commercialized so fast, everybody jumped on it so fast, and then it slowed down so much. almost felt like it was commercialized so fast everybody jumped on it so fast and then it slowed down so much you felt like it hurt a hell with explosion. I mean first of all that's why you always have to have your backing which is home you know I'm saying that's why like you notice that we always go home any chance we get just to be around and there's so much going on in Africa that we was okay for a long time you know till, Taylor popped off here, then we come out here for tours. So I feel like we always have the backbone to be able to always be able to go home. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:43:52 If anything, like if this stuff is slow a little bit, always go home. Something I found so interesting about you was you didn't even grow up listening to Afro Beats. No, I grew up listening to rap like 50 Cent. You always say 50. When I met him the first time because we were talking, because you know we do the tour, we do the stadium together in London. So I'm ten and I'm looking and he's just like what?
Starting point is 00:44:14 I'm like, guy, you doing that, Stani? I had sneakers, I had the video game. I had the game, I had the sneakers. Did you wear the tank top? The white beard? The big white beard? Okay. Anything, I had like, I was crazy about like G-Unit,
Starting point is 00:44:28 like all of them, and just to be able to, you know, go on tour with him is like, wow. What did your family think about you being so influenced by somebody from America like that? Um, I mean, they always knew I liked rap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying, like, and you have to feel like my parents, you know, did a little bit out here too,
Starting point is 00:44:43 so they understand like, American culture as well? You ever look at these rappers be like these po ass I mean they know they know what's going on. Yeah, but it's all good Like it's just a different time like I remember like after I went back home coming out in 2015 you know trying to work with people you know finesse get this I you know I had this song with Meek Mill at the time and I knew what I had to do to get to Meek Mill like you know what I'm saying and it's so much easier now where like DM is like. They understand it now. Yeah let's work you know I'm saying
Starting point is 00:45:23 I'm trying to come to Nigeria, you know what I'm saying? Come, let's come experience it. I love it when they come. I'd rather meet them there. I'd rather you come and show them. Most times when they come and they see how it is and it's like, wow, why Jemadi was just there? Because he's on my album.
Starting point is 00:45:38 We shot the video. He's on a single as well. And he asked me a question. He was like, why do you leave? Your life is so dope here like you know I'm saying like he's never he told me he's yet he's never seen this kind of style done before like you know I'm saying like how everybody love you like he's never seen it like why do you come to America you know I'm saying so why?
Starting point is 00:45:55 Well that's the end, what's the answer to that? I'm American you know I'm saying so it's different for me but apart from that like there's so much going on outside the diaspora with the culture and everything You know I'm saying at the time it's slowing down now a little bit You know I'm saying but do they get mad at you when you say that in Nigeria when you say you an American? No, you know I'm saying like they know it's like it's from a pet like naturalization Mm-hmm like they know I still rep, you know Africa rep Nigeria and I'm always home every chance I get Yeah, so you were born in Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:46:26 I was born in Atlanta. And then you raised in... And then I went back home with my parents, but we used to come every summer. Every summer, we had a house in Atlanta, so every summer. And mind you, my siblings didn't live in Nigeria. They stayed in London and America. So I was the last child of five kids. I was the only one at home with my parents
Starting point is 00:46:45 because they wanted at least one kid with them. So I didn't leave. I'd come maybe summer, but I didn't come and stay till I was like 14, 15. So you saw the best of both worlds. So you had the trenches, because what part of Atlanta? No, I was in Sanny Springs. Oh, so you were, okay.
Starting point is 00:46:58 But my cousins used to stay in Gwinnett on the North Side. So I'd go there, go there, chill, smoke. You know what I'm saying? I can't do that at home. But that's when I really experienced real Atlanta culture, you know what I'm saying? You know, start tapping in with the Jordans. At first it was just sandals. No, it was just sandals. What you mean? My mom? Yo, listen, my mom was one of the first, probably, person in
Starting point is 00:47:22 the world to get, there's this particular Chanel bag. At this time, this bag was like 20,000, 20,000. At that time, I'm talking about 80s, she was the first, like, my mom was stylish, like, she walked in this building, you're smelling the perfume, like, you know what I'm saying? So like, we've always, they've always been fly, because like I said, they understood American culture a little bit as well. I was wondering- I can't keep up with how much Afrobeats has evolved though because you have the I'm a piano now. What's the difference between? Um you see like Afrobeats is not like how it's not a sound it's not how it's not a type of music
Starting point is 00:47:57 actually it's kind of like it's the genre that we would we call because in the UK there was this song that blew up from the band the band is like he's our like Jay type stuff like he broke all the barriers so at the time in the UK they didn't want to call it African music because you know how it is over there so they called it Afrobeats but Afrobeats was actually a genre that Fela was doing that's Fela's own genre which has a distinctive sound it sounds a kind of way. So when they were describing the music for the Afrobeats, it's called the Afrobeats as a whole, which describes, so if you're an African artist and you sing R&B, like we have people back home that don't even like, they sound
Starting point is 00:48:35 like R&B type, Usher type singers and they're dudes like Udu Modu who's really trap sounds like he's from Bronx, you know what I'm saying? Like type beat type type of vibe, but they still call them Afrobeat artists. So it's like, it's an umbrella that has been used and it's kind of too late now to be like, oh no, it's not Afrobeat and explaining it and all that. So it's just like, we just ran with it. Like, you know what I'm saying? So what are you currently doing? Like when you look at your new album, Five, what is that on there?
Starting point is 00:49:01 It's African music. Okay. It's African music. But obviously if you go on a genre, they'll say it's afro beats You know I'm saying but it's African music like the song with Victor and Monet. It's not an afro beats to me It's like after R&B song with Becky G is like kind of like Latin but we our music sounds alike anyway You know I'm saying but definitely like you have original afro beat David O songs on there But what I'm saying is that that's just the umbrella used you know what I'm saying so I'm a piano it's from South Africa and that I'm so South
Starting point is 00:49:29 Africans since time always had great dope music and funny enough since early in my career I've been collaborating South Africans like very early in my career so I'm a piano came in like five years like to my knowledge it's been going on there since time, but it became everywhere in Africa like five years ago. And then definitely, you know how in Nigeria we tapped in with The Sound too as well, working with their producers. And one thing about Nigerian producers, they can adapt. They can remake anything and make it sound like, you know what I'm saying, sick.
Starting point is 00:49:58 All right, we got more with Davido when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's EJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Davido.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Davido, he's in the building. Now I know you are such a huge fan of 50. Well, why didn't you sign with 50? Was that even an option? I didn't even know, I didn't meet him. The first time I ever saw 50, I was a kid in Vegas. I was like, can I have a picture? He was like, no.
Starting point is 00:50:21 He said no for real? No, Luke D'Amin said no. Like, Luke D'Amin, I was a kid, cause my brother was turning 21. So my dad took everybody to Vegas, but I'm like 14, I can't do nothing. So they doing their own things. I just seen them in the lobby.
Starting point is 00:50:33 And I actually used to love Lloyd Banks. That was actually my favorite. And so I saw him and I went to him, I'm like, ah, Lloyd Banks, ah. And I took a picture of him, then I saw 50. And I went to him, I'm like, ah. With my accent then, like Nigerian. Wow, 50 said, I love him, but can I have a picture of him that I saw 50 and I went to my accent then like my dress get wow 50 said I love you my car have a picture.
Starting point is 00:50:48 No, I just walked off. Did you tell him about that when you met him later on? Yeah I told him. What'd he say? You hear now right? I met him like I seen him in New York and he brought me out. And then yeah we do in London together with May J Blige and stadium. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:51:04 And then yeah and then like they saw like they saw the reaction of putting me on the tour. He's like, yo, I want you to come on more days. This little boy lit. So it's a good feeling, man. That's what's up. Another person that you collaborate with that I love each and every song, Chris Brown. I always see when you talk about it. She loves this.
Starting point is 00:51:19 You know it. But you know, one song that I love that I felt like completely went under the radar because both of y'all was doing so much stuff at one time was Blow My Mind. That was y'all first, that was y'all first single together right? That was Testing, Testing. Testing a song like that? Testing, testing.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Yeah like when we did Blow My Mind I had met Chris because he was already doing like African stuff kind of with other artists but I had never personally met him. But he had, he has a Nigerian best friend, big dude that's big dude that's also him hoodie he's foot like he's Nigerian so hoodie hits me up like yo cuz I dropped a song that I did for my wife at the time it's called Asharams huge you were like huge in the Caribbean and Chris liked that song so from there we linked up and then I came to America came to LA I remember the first time linking up with him like he was just so cool we haven't even done the record and then we did the record then he came to Atlanta and I linked up he's like yo let's shoot the video and this
Starting point is 00:52:10 is all happening in like a week hmm so I'm like oh is this real like yeah okay let's shoot the video so I'm gonna cuz I've been in situations like you know how you do like work with American artists like when I first came I didn't even know like oh you have to get songs cleared You know I'm so I'm handing over a brand like yeah, let me get that verse. I'm calling me to I want some more money.

We just became really good friends I just kept on doing music, music, music.
Starting point is 00:52:47 And he's been on like all my albums since then. You know what I'm saying? I co-wrote the under, the influence with him and my new producer. That ended up becoming huge. Amazing. And then from there, we just locked in and then we just did the Sensational and then... Is he on 5? Yes, he's there.
Starting point is 00:53:01 He's on 5? He's on all my albums. I know that. He's excited now. He's happy to know that, right? He was on my albums. He was on all my albums. He just, you know, we was in South Africa together. I'm gonna ask you, did you go to his show?
Starting point is 00:53:09 Yeah, I came, oh my God. Like that experience alone, and it was just a full circle moment for everybody. What's the meaning of awook? Awook, awookay. A-W-U. Awookay. Am I pronouncing it right?
Starting point is 00:53:22 Awookay. Awookay. He's telling you awookay. Awookay. Awookay, ay, ay, ay. It's telling you A-W-K. A-W-K. You don't gotta spell it for him, he's telling you. It's like a chant. A-W-K. A-W-K-A-I-A. Just like a chant, like togetherness, happiness,
Starting point is 00:53:32 all good things. You know what our music entails? We don't really be singing about deep stuff like that. But we do have deep songs, but I'm saying, with this particular record, that's what he means. You know, you have been through a lot personally, especially with Lost. What kept you grounded?
Starting point is 00:53:46 My family man, because you know, my family's very big, right, and what I noticed was that, you know what I'm saying, you know you grew up in a family, since you were a kid, like I've always been the youngest around, that's little David, that's little David, and then I blew up obviously, and then I knew how many times like I'd be so busy like out of it, and then like even got to a point where like I'd be so busy like out of it. And then like,
Starting point is 00:54:05 even got to a point where I'd be like, my siblings would get... Imagine you're scrolling through TikTok, you come across a video of a teenage girl, and then a photo of the person suspected of killing her. And I was like, what? Like it was him? I was like, oh my God. It was shocking. It was very shocking. I'm Jen Swan. I'm a journalist in Los Angeles, and I've spent the past few years investigating the story behind the viral posts and the extraordinary events that followed.
Starting point is 00:54:34 I started investing my time to get her justice. They put out something on social media, so I'd get calls in the middle of the night all the time. It's like, how do you think you're gonna get away with something like this? Like you killed somebody. It's the story of how and why a group of teenagers turn to social media to help track down their friend's killer.

This is a big dude I know that this guy you got on this record is big. Odumodu, he's the biggest rapper now. Yeah. So a lot of things you guys know like for example you see how when I came out here we had the if fall, money falling on you
Starting point is 01:02:25 a lot of songs that pop here pop or you have bigger songs like the local ones like back home you know what I'm saying like and like a song like funds with the Odumodu it's always going to be bigger than a Vicar and Mané record back home you know what I'm saying but once you get in the radio here that's what you're going to hear you go in the stores H&M that's. You know what I'm saying? But once you get in the radio here, that's what you're gonna hear. You go in the stores, H&M, that's what you hear. But I'm saying, what I'm trying to say is that there's so much more music back home that is also being digested
Starting point is 01:02:54 that you guys don't really, really get to hear. So every time I'm doing a project, I always keep in mind, yes, we have to please the Western world, and you know what I'm saying?

I'm sweating for you.
Starting point is 01:03:53 And certain reasons in Nigeria you can have more than one wife. Yes, no, there's not certain reasons. It's like if you want to. Oh if you want, you just do it. It don't have to be a religion. It don't have to be anything like you. OK, now for example, the eastern part of Nigeria, which is like the egos and stuff like I've seen a lot of situations Especially like the Niger Delta parts of Nigeria. I've seen a lot of situations where it's like multiple wives like my uncle That's the governor. He got two wives. You know I'm saying I have another uncle that his all his wives live with him
Starting point is 01:04:21 Like they be playing with each other's like he's Christian. No wow. How much money he got though? He's very rich. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? But I mean that don't mean nothing. You know what I'm saying? But it's still wahala. Up on all the money, it's still wahala. You know what I'm saying? I would rather go and live with how my older guy is living. Maybe because I've had bad experiences. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes experience is the best teacher. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes the experience is the best teacher, you feel me? It's just never not worth it because when it happens, I know how many times when we was in the yachts in Miami having the best time and then when it happens, what you gonna be saying?
Starting point is 01:04:56 Damn I shouldn't have gone. I should have stayed man. We're not talking about that though, we're talking about having another wife. I'm not cheating again. No, not cheating. If you're able to have another wife under the laws of Nigeria. Yeah, would I? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:10 No. No, not now. I don't believe it. He said I'm an African. Africans only telling the truth when they say, no, no, no, no, it gotta be more than one no. You said one long no.

Starting point is 01:05:32 Yeah, that man was a paper towel I wasn't expecting you to come in here a little chubby though, cuz I know your wife is a chef too I was ready to say she got her own thing going so when you're a chef I actually gained weight, I just got back on the road. So like, think about me, when I'm active, I lose weight quick. But I gained weight quick too. So it's like when I'm home and the kitchen's right in front of me, I'm like, boy, she cooks
Starting point is 01:05:53 everything. That was nice being on the road. Do you have any anxiety because you're leaving your family again and leaving your kids? Any anxiety like, yeah. When I was leaving this time and like, you know what I'm saying, just natural, you know, family stuff, you know what I'm saying. Like I'm like, babe, I'm on like you know I'm saying just natural you know family stuff You know I'm saying like I'm like babe. I'm on the road. I'm on the road Which like you have to handle stuff back at home as well and just balancing it
Starting point is 01:06:12 You know it's it's crazy, but I feel like you can balance it I'm not the first person to be married and be a superstar right nothing happened. You know I'm saying I mean things happen But you know I'm saying I've seen people way more success than me. Way more success than me. Handle it. So, hold on. I bet you, since you've been married and really devoted to your wife being faithful,
Starting point is 01:06:35 I bet you've seen your life just go up, up, up, up. I'm telling you, like everything, like I'm telling you.

I was trying to figure out why and kind of where this started and there's no real beginning point but I think I kind of zeroed in on one and y'all are a big part of the problem. Who is y'all? The Breakfast Club. Jess with the mess?

Everything they're saying about me, they really want to say to you. No, no, no, baby. All right, so wait, where am I starting?
Starting point is 01:11:53 Okay, so 2016, April Jones and Omariyon split. Six months later, Omariyon came here to the Breakfast Club and spoke about the split for the first time. They did a post on Instagram, but he had never sat down, did an interview. When they split, Bow Wow tweeted, like, yo, Omariyon, let's go to the first time. They did a post on Instagram, but he had never sat down and did an interview. When they split, Bow Wow tweeted like, yo, Omarion, let's go to the strip club. Let's knock down some girls. And people was like, what? Why would he do all that?
Starting point is 01:12:12 So let's take a listen to what Omarion said here on the Breakfast Club in 2017. Now when Bow Wow did that, did you text him like Bow, chill out? Cause if we get back together, she not gonna let you at the wedding. Nah, man, you know, nah, I didn't. I thought it was kinda whack.
Starting point is 01:12:26 You know, he didn't really have no regard or no respect for the position that I was in, you know what I'm saying? So, whatever I was going through, you feel me? You supposed to support that. I'm glad you said that, cause I thought it was whack too. Well he might have looked at it differently. He might have looked at it to the fact that damn, Omarion might be effed up. Call me!
Starting point is 01:12:42 Text me, don't put that on the gram. He should have called the party, he definitely should have called and checked on you. but I'm on I don't think was I don't think was he I thought it was like to and then I was in your girl probably like oh what you told about wow y'all about to go Have fun it was probably a remark or something like that But I'm just saying like look at the position you put me in folks instant No, no, but you know that's still the bro.

Are y'all having a wig off later? Baby, his wig could never sit with mine. It's not a wig anything.

Starting point is 01:16:14 Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida men. Florida men. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes. You are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputy say
Starting point is 01:16:32 he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested a Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. Put the breakfast club, bitches. Donkey of the day, when Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. It ain't me do all this them. Okay, Florida donkey today for Tuesday
Starting point is 01:16:49 April 8th goes to a young woman named Akina Samson Okay, Akina is a 31 year old woman from st. Petersburg, Florida who works at one of the greatest institutions of all time McDonald's Okay, I am NOT about to sit here and do a commercial for McDonald's. Okay, you can say what you want about McDonald's But they have been around since 1940. It has 36,000 restaurants in over 100 countries and they serve 69 million customers daily. Drop one of those bombs for McDonald's. If that's not an institution I don't know what is. Okay, supersize me ain't stop nothing. At some point we have all had a love affair with McDonald's. Okay my go-to was the two cheeseburger meal with an orange drink and I'm old enough to remember when it was $2.99, $3.14 plus tax.
Starting point is 01:17:27 What was your go-to, Jess? The same thing, the two cheeseburger meal, $3.14. What about you, Heavy? Mine was the same, but it was $3.24 in New York. $3.24. Okay, McDonald's was the place that we would all hang out after the football games, drop on the Cluesbombs for the Berkeley Stacks, Monks Corner, South Carolina all day.
Starting point is 01:17:42 I have a lot of love and great memories connected to McDonald's and there was nothing like having a homie working at Mickey D's because they would always bless you with free food. That's what it was a blessing. Okay, that's what it was, a blessing. All right, but Akina Sampson didn't have that giving spirit. Okay, Akina is clearly not the homie
Starting point is 01:17:58 you want working at McDonald's if you're looking to get something free, no. Okay, Akina is there to protect McDonald's at all cost. All right. She a 17 year old customer got choked out by Akina after she stepped behind the counter to take some ranch dipping sauce after not being helped by employees. Now we have all been at a fast food restaurant and been frustrated by the service, but that doesn't mean you can take matters into your own hands and go behind the counter and do their job for them. This little entitled ass teenager took their ass behind the counter to get some ranch dipping
Starting point is 01:18:29 sauce and Akina, according to police reports, grabbed her arm. When the team tried to break free, Akina allegedly grabbed her by the neck and took the girl to the ground. Sounds to me like the big show's finishing move. Remember that show stopper choke slam big show used to do? That's what seemed like happened in this situation. Now I know what you're thinking. How many ranch packets did the victim secure? Well, the police reports does not reveal that information, but it did reveal that the victim had visible injuries to her neck and left elbow. The incident was also captured on video. Akina was charged
Starting point is 01:19:00 with child abuse. Now you're probably saying to yourself damn Makena did you have to do all that for some McDonald's ranch sauce? I don't know if McDonald's ranch sauce slaps. I've never had it. Anybody ever had McDonald's ranch sauce? Yes. It slaps? Definitely slaps. Okay, okay. Now if it was Polynesian sauce, Chick-fil-A sauce, we probably could understand. But McDonald's ranch, I'm not sure. Jess said it slaps. I'll take her word for it. But it's not about what the team did that got her choked slammed. It's's the principle as much as I have to give a keen at his he-haw because there is a part of me I mean as much as I have to give a keen to this he-haw there is a part of me that's like per what is it? Purr. What is purr? Purr. Purr? What's that?
Starting point is 01:19:45 That's just clock it. Like that's the thing. Okay. He wants to be a woman so bad. Yes. Someone has to teach these YNs a lesson. Okay. Where was this 17 year old's home training?
Starting point is 01:19:56 There is cause and effect. The 17 year old was the cause and effect is Akina choke slamming her and being arrested and charged with child abuse. And now she's about to lose her job at McDonald's okay she is clearly missing her calling as nightclub security but I digress look customer service 101 if a customer breaches protocol especially a minor throw hot fry grease on them no the appropriate response is to call management our security our security
Starting point is 01:20:22 okay don't resort to physical violence because McDonald's wouldn't front line for you like that. And you should never under any circumstance risk your job, freedom, and a young person's safety over a condiment. I know, I know that 17 year old was risking it all too, but day 17, you 31, you should know better. Now once again, you got a child abuse charge, which is gonna look nasty on your record,
Starting point is 01:20:44 and you lost your job at Ronald McDonald's house This situation makes the ice cream machine always being broken seem like good customer service Please give a Kena Samson the biggest he-how McDonald's ain't dying for you, bro Just call the police. I will I will say this though a Yeah, that's a lot. That's extra. Just call the police. I will I will say this though a Lot of people that work at fast food jobs take their job way too serious Yeah, definitely if I want an extra packet of ketchup, please give me an extra packet of ketchup I agree, you know if I say hey, can I have extra ketchup? That doesn't mean one packet
Starting point is 01:21:18 Give me four or five. I asked for an additional, you know sweet and sour sauce. Yeah, give me one or two Give me two three. I'm telling you. You know McDonald's, I used to give them packets away like testers on the corner. Yeah, because it's just hoarding. Them ketchup packets probably sit there for months. They do. Yes. At a time.
Starting point is 01:21:36 Who cares? Just take it too serious. I want my fries to overflow the fry container. Right. Give me a little extra. And it's not coming out of our money, isn't it? Like, we not buying as employees, like, we're not buying the sauces out of our money. So it's crazy. Be a cheerful giver when you work at these fast food establishments.
Starting point is 01:21:53 I'm just saying. You look like Jennifer Lewis. Thank you. Yes. Fantasia on American Idol. That's what she, that's before she started. You know what Jess told me off-ass? She told me I look like a broke transgender. I did not say, I did not say you like a broke transgender. Cause I don't know how the Brookwins look.
Starting point is 01:22:11 That's what she said to me. As opposed to the Richwins. That's what she said to me. But no, I said you look like an old-ass trans woman. That's what I said. Same difference. It looks like you was marching in the 60s. That's what it looks like.
Starting point is 01:22:19 That's what that wig is given right now. Well, did you know what you had to go through in the 60s? If you had dogs sicked on you and hoses sprayed on you and marching in a hundred degree weather, you would look like this too. You think your wig supposed to look prim and proper while you marching? Why you Dominicans don't know our struggle? Dominicans do not know how people struggle. I'm just going to celebrate. I'm going to cast you tonight.
Starting point is 01:22:39 If you see this wig on you. I mean tomorrow, tomorrow morning. What is wrong with her? All right What is wrong with y'all all right, thank you don't keep up the day You know what? So why tonight? Why tonight? Why I gotta be doing castings at night? I am a lazy. Yeah. How dare you? Oh my God. He will talk to me during regular office hours. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:23:16 Shalom will wanna be a woman so bad. All right, now. We're all part woman. 50% women, 50% man to make us. Also it's woman and you. Yes. Mm-hmm. Ha ha.
Starting point is 01:23:29 This wig really has him feeling himself. All right. All right, guys. Can we focus? Can we focus? Classroom, can we focus? Okay, okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:23:37 What in the f***ing tree are you talking about? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. That is crazy. Uh-uh. I wish I could see his wig because a lot of y'all like, what are y'all laughing about he has a wig right now and it looks like he's an old lady in church. That's exactly what it looks like.
Starting point is 01:23:50 They just finished frying some fried chicken and he's ready for... Where did the wig come from? Tell the whole context. It came from a wig store. Nope. Lauren Stylist, her wig maker, went to go buy you a wig from the store because she said you are not worth the bundles. So everything that y'all are saying about my wig this morning is exactly what y'all should be saying to her.
Starting point is 01:24:09 But y'all leave me on this island all to myself. All right, 800-585-1051. You were talking love and hip-hop. Yes, I was. Basically, there's a situation going on between Rashida and Yandy right now. And they got into it and Yandy thought that she was Rashida's friend until Rashida told her that you ain't my friend like that. It's been really awkward between Rashida and I. We really haven't had much to say to each other. How could you say, yeah, Perk is my only friend?
Starting point is 01:24:40 Really? Your husband? The one that did you wrong the most? Keep that to yourself because you know that you're funny and fake like you're my friend for over a decade now. That's deadass wrong. I'm just kind of over it because we're not best friends. Like some people don't get it because they don't understand what real friendships are or what real loyalty is. I can't help it. So we're asking 800-585-1051, you ever had that moment when you realized someone you
Starting point is 01:25:11 thought was your friend really isn't? That is the question. 800-585-1051 usually happens at your darkest time and people want to step on your neck. So that is the question. Ever had that moment when you realized someone you thought was your friend really isn't less discussed? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Now if you're just joining us, we're talking about
Starting point is 01:25:50 something that happened on Love & Hip Hop that Jess was talking about. So break down exactly what happened Jess. Okay, so Yandy and Rasheeda, they're both on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, and there was a situation that went down, and Yandy thought that she was closer to Rasheeda than she actually was.
Starting point is 01:26:06 Rashida told her like, we ain't best friends, we're not friends like that. And Yandy's argument is like, yo, all right, so the past 10 years has been fake, like you ain't never been my friend. And so I know this happens a lot where you find out that you're not as close to a person that you thought you was. Now the question is, 800-585-1051, you ever had that moment when you realized someone you thought was your friend really isn't? So has that happened with you?
Starting point is 01:26:30 Without saying a name? Well, hell yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody thought that I was closer to them than I actually was. But see, people get the definition of friend misconstrued. Like, yo, if I'm your friend, yo, that means I've confided in you. I know your mother name. Like I know your kids. Like I've been to your you. I know your mother name. Like I know your kids. Like I've been to your house.
Starting point is 01:26:47 You've been to mine. That's a friend. Now, if we're like really close associates, all right, cool. That, but we're still not friends. I think that, yeah, more so like Rashida's like, yo, we kind of Imagine you're scrolling through TikTok. You come across a video of a teenage girl and then a photo of the person suspected of killing her.
Starting point is 01:27:09 And I was like, what? Like it was him? I was like, oh my God. It was shocking. It was very shocking. I'm Jen Swan. I'm a journalist in Los Angeles and I've spent the past few years investigating the story
Starting point is 01:27:21 behind the viral posts and the extraordinary events that followed. I started investing my time to get her justice. They put out something on social media so I'd get called in the middle of the night all the time. It's like how do you think you're gonna get away with something like this? Like you killed somebody. It's the story of how and why a group of teenagers turn to social media to help track down their friend's killer. This is their story. This is my friend Daisy.

Starting point is 01:35:06 Hi, good morning. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you now. What's your name, mama? Hi, I'm Alexis. Where are you calling from? From Michigan. Michigan, okay.
Starting point is 01:35:14 Talk to us. You had a friend that you thought was a friend but that really wasn't a friend? Yes. So I had a best friend for 13 years. And during that time, I was diagnosed with endometriosis I'm a black woman. She's a white woman and She told me one time that I was racist because of my fear
Starting point is 01:35:37 in my own experiences of going into the hospitals and being treated a certain way because of my skin color and the way that I looked going into the hospitals and being treated a certain way because of my skin color and the way that I look. That's not racist. That's you understanding. That's you having proper historical context of the medical industry. Absolutely. So I decided in that friendship because you know, even though she's not black woman, I still expect her to support me, the ally, you know, still be my friend. And after that conversation, I was like, okay, yeah, no, this isn't the type of person that I want in my life. So we ended our friendship there. She was the godmother to my daughter. So fast forward three years later, she ends up dating
Starting point is 01:36:19 my daughter's father. Wow. She definitely wasn't your friend. Definitely was my friend. And my daughter's father actually had just out of prison after 10 years. Because of crazy stuff that he did, including the abuse that he took me through. So yeah, so I definitely learned that that was not my friend. After almost 15 years of even 13 years of ending our friendship friendship and then two five, you know, 30 years later Don't have love for her but then learning this information. I was like, oh, she definitely never loved me Definitely wasn't my friend Yes, they're still together damn so when you drive your daughter off you gotta see her every time
Starting point is 01:37:01 Um, I don't got my daughter off because she's not in her life. Oh, I'm sorry. Not as a father. Oh, sorry. He doesn't reach out to her. Why don't you ever look at it as maybe God introduced her soulmate to you so she could meet her soulmate. You're a clown.
Starting point is 01:37:19 Clown. That's how old babies are. Because you got a child. You got what you were supposed to get when you were a child. And she got her soul mate. But she wanted a family. Or maybe God put him in her life so he could ruin her life like he tried to ruin yours.
Starting point is 01:37:33 That's not what God does, sir. Look, I believe that everything happens for a reason. Everybody learns their lessons. I especially think when it comes to, I don't want this kind of thing crazy. But when it comes to... I don't want this kind of thing crazy. When it comes to black people, when we have a whole spiritual team, we have our ancestors, everything.
Starting point is 01:37:54 So when people come for us, I truly believe that you get your karma. So whatever that is, she's going to get that and that's going to be their life. Yeah, but didn't that mean that you must've had some bad karma too, cause you know he did you dirty. You didn't get what you wanted out of the situation. See what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:38:11 You know, he did me dirty, but what I got out of the situation was 10 years of peace. I had 10 years of being able to live my life with my daughter without an abusive man in the situation or in fear for my life. You got a beautiful daughter out of it. That's right. Absolutely. Well have a good one Alexis.
Starting point is 01:38:30 So I'm extremely grateful. Thank you you as well. 800-585-1051 if you're just joining us we're asking have you ever had that moment when you realize someone you thought was your friend really isn't? Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. We're asking 800-585-1051, have you ever had that moment when you realize someone you thought was your friend
Starting point is 01:39:15 really isn't? This comes from Love and Hip Hop, let's play the clip of Yandy and Rasheeda. It's been really awkward between Rasheeda and I. We really haven't had much to say to each other. How could you say, yeah, Kirk is my only friend? Really? Your husband, the one that did you wrong the most? Give that to yourself, because Rashida, you know that you fronted and faked that you're my friend. For over a decade now, that's deadass wrong.
Starting point is 01:39:41 I'm just kind of over it because we're not best friends. Like some people don't get it because they don't understand what real friendships are or what real loyalty is. I can't help it. Hello, who's this? I'm a remain anonymous. Okay, anonymous. Good morning, what's your situation? Okay, so I had a friend for six years.
Starting point is 01:40:01 We still talk, but we fell out one time because I told her to keep her relationship separate from her friendship because her spouse was talking about me on Facebook or whatever. And when we became that friends and I ended up getting engaged, I invited them out to my surprise engagement announcement.
Starting point is 01:40:19 Two days later, somebody close to us told us, or told me that my best friend was talking about me and saying that I can't keep no man when she gonna see how long like, this relationship lasts. And like, lying and saying that I was messing with her old dude just to keep, like people not talking to me.
Starting point is 01:40:39 So, yep, people can be fake. Even though she don't know that I know I just called out two weeks ago, but she was supposed to be my maid of honor. So I got to figure out how to bring that up to her that I know that she was talking about me because I never talked about her ever. Oh, this ain't nothing to figure out. You just tell her.
Starting point is 01:40:56 The person that told me is close, like very close in our circle. And it's kind of hard to, she said she don't care, but it's like a whole family dynamic thing. All so what she shouldn't have told you Shane once you say nothing then you shouldn't you should have covered your ears if you weren't gonna say nothing. I don't care you supposed to know this you supposed to find this out ain't no way that you gonna feel good up there standing in front of your husband about to say yes and this conniving clown ass woman's
Starting point is 01:41:22 right behind you and she was just talking about you. No, you don't get to stand next to me. No. I know, and I feel, it made me sad too because it's just like, for six years, nobody could talk about my best friend at all. Exactly, so you thought that- But for her to turn around, and we only wasn't talking for like two months,
Starting point is 01:41:38 that's it, it wasn't that serious. Like, I felt like it was a respect thing because- She a clown. Can I ask a question? He get relationship and your friendship separate because Can I ask a question? and your friendship separate May I ask a question please? Why you talking like that?
Starting point is 01:41:48 Yo Yes Is there any truth to the you know you can't keep a man thing? Oh baby I can keep a man I just be a broke man Talk that talk Hurry and hello Really? Okay Yeah
Starting point is 01:42:00 Thank you so much honey Do you have a man now? Thank you bye And the fact that her man proposing Yes About to walk down the aisle is evidence enough to see you But you're married. Yes, we're engaged. That's right. Okay, what's his bank account like? None of your business. Oh, thank you Asked what's your friend to hate on you no more. That's all
Starting point is 01:42:20 Thank you mama. Thank you for checking in. I feel like you's been hated. Thank you. Thank you. She's been here And I thought I think I broke. Oh my god Bad bitch so bad.

Starting point is 01:43:49 One of the biggest beefs in music just ended, as announced on Instagram about like 15 hours ago. What's that? Nicky and Kim? No. Madonna and Elton John. What? They had beef?
Starting point is 01:44:03 Madonna and Elton John. What are they beefing about? So Madonna and Elton John have actually been beef have beef? Madonna and Elton John. What are they beefing about? So Madonna and Elton John have actually been beefing for, what's funny Jeff? Elton John sitting right across from us right now. Definitely look like a black Elton John right now. Clown. So first of all, this is a big deal, okay?
Starting point is 01:44:20 Is it? Yes. What were they beefing about? Okay, so they've been going back because Elton John is just a little bit sometimes shady and then throws rocks and hides his hands, in my opinion, love Elton John, but he's been giving Madonna H-E double hockey six for a very long time. So in 2002, Elton John, Madonna had released her Die Another Day song for James Bond. Yeah, he called it the worst Bond tune ever.
Starting point is 01:44:43 And then he, she got nominated for an award at at this award show called the Q Awards, right? So her nomination was Best Live Performance. And he stood up while accepting another award and said, since when do we give Best Live Act nominations or awards for people who lip-sync? And we're talking about her, right? But he always jokingly ends it like, well, you know, but I'm a fan, like stuff like that. And then in 2012, Madonna beat Elton John out at the Golden Globes for best original song and then Elton John's husband dragged
Starting point is 01:45:17 her later on for the win. But again, every single time they try and like cushion it and soften it. So basically, she went and saw him at SNL. She found out that he was performing at SNL this past weekend. She was like, you know what, I want to go. Let's bury the hatchet. It's not that deep. They took a picture posted online. She said she always felt like an outsider growing up and watching him on stage helped her understand it and understand that it's okay to be to be different. So she went backstage to confront him and when she met him, the first thing out of his mouth was forgive me and the wall between them fell down so then now they're gonna work on some music together. Can you name three Elton John songs? I can't but I know the
Starting point is 01:45:52 Shadiness. Name two. I don't know Elton John songs. I just said I don't know them off the top. Why you doing that to her? I don't know. So you know how like we love the memes and I don't know you won't be on Twitter but we love the memes and the black Twitter. Oh and John is the king one of the kings of shade Okay, John is one of the greatest Musical artists of all time. Just cuz you just cuz you can't name one inside rocket man is one.

In other music news, y'all, Billboard has released their list I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like,
Starting point is 01:47:29 I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going work and achievements, cultural impact and influence and longevity. Also, they looked at lyrics and flow and it came up with this list. So number one on the list, Nicki Minaj, number two on the list, Missy Elliott, number three, Lauren Hill, number four, Lil Kim, number five, Queen Latifah, number six, MC Light.
Starting point is 01:47:59 Then we have Salt and Pepper, Roxanne Shante, E, Foxy Brown, Cardi B, The Brat, Trina, Left Eye, Magda Salyan, Doja Cat, Rhapsody, Remy Ma, Lado, Monie Love, Glorilla, Lady of Rage, Gangsta Boo, Dochi, and number 25, Tierra Watt. Who is Monie Love? Monie in the middle. She's the one in the middle. Yeah. Drop her on the floor.
Starting point is 01:48:19 She's the one in the middle. She's the one in the middle. Yeah. It's hard to know. Okay, cool. All right. How y'all feeling about this list? So, all right. So let me ask the two old he's in the room. What is Queen Latifah's catalog? I know you and I T. Y and I know another song by her but like what is I'm a fighter
Starting point is 01:48:35 She got a lot of joints. Okay. All right Somebody felt like that when you was asking about Elton John. I'll tell you I'll fight it right now Okay, you talking about how do you buy it? So know. So I was more of an MC light chick growing up. I knew Queen Latifah's songs but I didn't know if her, I didn't know her catalog was super long like that. Oh alright, cool. I mean it's interesting with this list because you know 25 best female rappers, my initial reaction is some of these people are too new to say greatest female rappers of all time, but sadly it's always just been a handful of rappers. The biggest thing that's missing for me on this,
Starting point is 01:49:10 two that's missing. What's your two? Mia X and Rod Digger. Rod Digger definitely should be on this list. And Mia X. Who's Mia X? Mia X should be on this list. No limit.
Starting point is 01:49:19 Oh, okay, okay. Should be talking about Mia X and Rod Digger. Rod Digger should definitely be on this list. And Mia X should definitely be on this list. Mia X and Rod Digger should definitely be on this list. And me and X should definitely be on this list. Me and X and Rod Digger should definitely be on this list. Rod Digger should be on there. I can make a case for Bahama Deer. Shoot, I can make a case for China White.
Starting point is 01:49:31 You can make a case for Shawna. Ludacris Shawna. Yeah, give it, give it. Give me, give me, give me. Yeah, Shawna got busy. And I know she's new, but Sexy Ray should be on this list. I mean, if you got all these other new people on this list, I don't see why not. Man, where little mama at?
Starting point is 01:49:46 Yo like... Y'all try. Y'all trying to know. I'm thinking about it. Come on man. Where she at yo? I don't know if little mama got the catalogue. Man little mama need to be up on here man. I don't know man.
Starting point is 01:50:02 Young and made not on here like... See I don't know man I don't know cuz it's only always been a handful of female rappers when you put together a top 25 You probably gonna have to use a lot of new folks. I can't say anything's wrong with this list I'll just say that Mia X Rod Digger should definitely be on it. I can make a case for Bahama Dia, but if you do know how to China white I love always sexy race should be on there if you do a new artist A man of record she put out who sexy way. Oh, yeah, Sexy Red should be on there if you do a new artist. The amount of records she's put out. Who? Sexy Red. Oh yeah, definitely, definitely.
Starting point is 01:50:27 Tink should be on there if you're talking about artists that, you know. Tink, Tink. Do Tink rap? Yeah, Tink ain't solely a rapper though. She's R&B for real. It doesn't need to be Doja Cat either though. Yeah, Doja Cat isn't, you know. But you, but Doja...
Starting point is 01:50:36 All of these lists are for us to do exactly what we're doing right now. Yeah, that's what we're doing. Because I wouldn't even change the order in a lot of these. I was going to say, how do y'all feel about the first three? Nikki should be number one. Yeah, I like Nikki being number one. I like Missy Elliott being number two That's if you're basing this off lyrics though MC light would probably be number one. I Think he's still number one not over like now Nikki number one
Starting point is 01:51:05 Nikki number one. I like it like like two but I think he's still number one not over like now Nikki number one Nikki number one. I like it light light too, but I think Nikki number one With Nikki whole catalog lyrics Lyrics like the rapid I think first came on if you came out Achievements longevity cultural and the lyrics and flow It's body of work achievements longevity cultural impact and flow It's body of work slash achievements cultural impact slash influence longevity lyrics and flow Yeah, when you track to all that Nikki's number one and then rhapsody should be a little higher to Think Kim should be number three. I would argue for dochi to be a little bit higher I think Kim should be number three. I would argue for Dochi to be a little bit higher.
Starting point is 01:51:45 Dochi's 24. Tierra, what? Oh yeah, definitely. Dochi should be higher for sure. You talking influence and all that. Kim should be top three. Top 25 of all time. Dochi already?

Starting point is 01:54:17 I never been to the one in Orlando, but the ones in Miami, oh my God, they so good. And I always find myself in Orlando more than Miami, especially because my daughter's cheerleading, so that's why I know that, and I love the licking suit to my guy e-class But the positive note is simply this be yourself around others Okay The biggest assumption that humans make is that everyone sees life the way we do we assume that others think the way we think feel
Starting point is 01:54:37 The way we feel judge the way we judge and abuse the way we abuse We are afraid to be ourselves around others because we think other people going to judge us, victimize us, and abuse us, and blame us as we do ourselves.
