Make sure you listen to the Black Fat Fam podcast
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast,
or wherever you get your podcasts, girl.
Ooh, I know that's right.
Good morning, USA! Ooh, I know It's Tuesday. How y'all feel out there man? I feel blessed black and highly favored happy to be here another day to serve our beautiful listeners. That's happening. Feels good, man
Feels good. It's the holiday season, baby. It's the most wonderful time of the year. I hope that everybody is enjoying the moment
I know that you know, a lot of people are navigating grief this time of year
I know a holiday seasonal depression is a real thing
But I hope that you are finding pockets of joy where you can. Enjoy this moment.
That's right. Well, not only that, you know, I don't know if you guys are like me, but I've been
following the murder of Brian Thompson. I've been following that story pretty closely because it's
very interesting to me. And they captured a young individual and I'm sure Mimi will break down
everything she's filling in for Morgan during front page news but I was totally into this case like I was watching it where he goes and they had
like a which is sick they had like a I don't want to say a killing party but
like the killers they had a look-alike contest yeah look the killers look-alike
have been making clothing that is sick that is sick that looked like the killers
and the killer outfit like the whole thing in the city it was crazy very
weird we're just a ridiculous society.
I mean honestly, if this was the Bible,
this would be the point in the Bible where God just
pressure washes everything.
Cause we're just ridiculous as human beings.
Yes.
We just are.
But I've been following the story closely,
and I know a lot of you guys have been too.
It's been all over the news feed,
so I'm excited for Mimi Brown to break it down
during front page news.
I didn't think they was gonna find the killer
just because I felt like, you know like the way that the hit happened,
I thought that that was one of those things
where he wasn't supposed to be found.
I thought so too.
I thought it was a lot more professional
than it turned out to be.
I did too, and I wonder what the connection is,
that's what I guess they're trying to figure out now,
what the connection is, but he seems like
a smart, intelligent kid.
He went to University of Pennsylvania,
which is an Ivy League school.
Valedictorian League valedictorian
Valedictorian, so his dumbass went back to Pennsylvania
McDonald's and P.a. He had nowhere to go. But that's what I'm saying I got so I thought I was more sophisticated than it was also to
Yeah, but maybe be breaking it down and also we got to send a rest in peace to Nikki Giovanni
Yes, man rest in peace to Nikki Giovanni, man. You know, she actually was on the Breakfast Club
Nikki Giovanni. Yes.
Man, rest in peace to Nikki Giovanni, man.
You know, she actually was on the Breakfast Club.
She talked about her poetry book, Making Me Rain, poems and prose, I think it was.
Yeah, I think it was during COVID.
Because you were actually the only one on that interview.
Because I look, yes, I couldn't even remember.
But you were the only one on that interview.
So I guess it might have been at the time I was traveling or whatever it may be.
But you were the one that actually did that interview.
So I think we need to get that back on I agree for the people man
I agree so we're gonna get that back on a little bit later and then we got front page news when we come back
So don't go anywhere
What is this I was thinking the same thing I was like this seems very slow
Chris Brown, okay. All right. It's the breakfast club. Good morning
Morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious. I'm in the guy
We are the breakfast club Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess and let's get in some front page news
Can I ask you a real question? Sheldon? Nope, you still think your cowboy's gonna make my boundaries
Oh, no, not right now, but we were in the hunt until I feel you were
Until I know you were not so
Got beat by the Bengals so we probably I'm pretty sure we're out of playoff contention. Okay. All right Well last night yes, the Bengals beat the Cowboys
2720 it seems like the Cowboys are out of the quote-unquote Super Bowl hunt. Good morning, Mimi
Good morning, Envy morning. I Charlamagne. Hi Lauren. Hey, Mimi. Look at this right full circle moment. We came up together in LA y'all.
That's dope. Please Mimi. Set on many panels together. Yep absolutely. I'm sorry you had to go through that Mimi.
Go to hell. So many updates to some stories we brought you yesterday. We got to jump right in. So the suspect in the UnitedHealthcare CEO killing has been arrested. Luigi Mangione
is his name. He is facing multiple charges across both states in New York and in Pennsylvania,
including murder. Now this all came together yesterday. You guys were talking about McDonald's
in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He was recognized there by a worker. He's now been charged in New York with one count
of murder as well as charges that include possession of a forged document and weapon.
He's facing five charges in Pennsylvania, including forgery and carrying a firearm
without a license. Now he appeared in person for a preliminary arraignment in Pennsylvania
He appeared in person for a preliminary arraignment in Pennsylvania last night. He's currently being held without bail.
He did not enter a plea.
Now police say he was found with a ghost gun, fake ID, a handwritten manifesto which was
connected to the crime.
Now that manifesto reportedly expressed anger at the healthcare industry stating that violence
was the only way to bring change and refer to health care executives as parasites.
Now right after that arraignment, officials held a press conference and
during that press conference last night, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro,
he actually touched on something you said yesterday, Charlemagne,
that many are praising this man, calling him a hero, but he is no hero. Let's listen to
what Governor Shapiro had to say.
But some attention in this case, especially online, has been deeply disturbing, as some
have looked to celebrate instead of condemning this killer. In America, we do not kill people in cold blood to resolve policy differences or express a viewpoint.
Yeah, I understand the frustration,
I understand the anger people have
towards the healthcare system,
but I don't agree with vigilante justice.
Violence is not the only way to make change.
But it's crazy because, I mean, like you said,
a lot of people look at him as a hero.
I mean, women are saying how sexy he is is and fellas are saying, yeah, my grandmother lost
her life because they denied her, my mother lost her life.
So people are really looking at him as a modern day hero, which is crazy.
You know what's crazy?
When I first heard that it was somebody from the UnitedHealthcare, the CEO, I literally
was like, this has to be like a political or like a statement of some sort because like
so many people,
you'd be surprised, you're seeing it now,
how many people have these deep feelings
about the healthcare system.
And you don't know until you go through it
how many hoops and stuff you have to jump through.
But for someone to lose their life
because of a job that they have.
But I wanted a connection though.
That's the thing, I know his grandmother
and his grandfather died several years ago,
but I wonder, were they denied help?
Was his parents denied help?
What was it that made him crack?
That made him say, this is what I want to do today?
You know what I mean?
I wonder what that was.
Right.
And I think Envy... I'm sorry, Shar.
Go ahead, baby.
Go ahead.
No, I think too that's what people are wondering because when you do a deep dive into his background,
he's from a really impressive family.
You guys were talking earlier, he went to an all-private boys school in Baltimore
He graduated, you know from Ivy League College
He's related to a prominent family in Maryland that owns country clubs. They got money here facilities
Yes, a real estate companies. His cousin is the is a Maryland State delegate
His name is Nino Mangione and he actually put out a statement.
He represents part of Baltimore County,
and he put out a statement on behalf of the family,
and it just reads, in part, our family is shocked
and devastated by Luigi's arrest.
We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson,
and we ask for people to pray for all involved.
We are devastated by this news.
So, I mean.
A young man like that was probably inspired
by something he saw online
He made he might have wanted to be some type of martyr maybe but also you like, you know
You want to as more details come out?
But remember he made a call right before he did the shooting like they have him on camera
I wonder who he called at that time at six in the morning. You know, I mean so at least our books
Places order. Yeah, get out of here. He would do that on the app. Oh, maybe could you right?
Yeah, he's got a water though anyway yeah all right well he's a guy I'll tell you
that people love vigilante justice until you know that vigilante takes out
somebody they actually like right mm-hmm exactly and like you said to
yesterday this could be anybody this could literally happen to anyone you have
no idea who hates you right and is carrying around something against you. So
moving right along, a jury took just 90 minutes on Monday to find Marine veteran Daniel Penny, not guilty of criminally negligent homicide. Now, Penny was accused of using a six minute
choke hold on Jordan Neely, who was homeless and allegedly threatening subway riders last year.
Now, after the verdict came down,
Neely's uncle reportedly caused a scene in the courtroom.
He said something to the effect of it's a small world, buddy. Uh, basically,
to, uh, to the Marine veteran, Daniel Penny, don't let me catch you outside.
Then he went outside and he had this to say to reporters.
Everybody else has vigilantes.
We need some black vigilantes.
That's right.
People want to jump up and choke us
and kill us for being loud.
How about we do the same
when they attempt to oppress us?
Right.
I'm tired.
Tired.
I know you're looking for us to be like,
oh, go and march, go and march go and march
No this weekend I want you to hold a community event
well you won't have to try to figure out what his motive is if something happens
to Daniel Penny yeah yeah but he did go on to say go out and hold a community
event in your community and let them know what you need for your community to make it better.
So now Neely's family, they plan to move forward with a civil lawsuit against Penny following
that not guilty verdict.
And coming up, we'll talk about how TikTok is fighting to stay alive and what that means
for the app and its users.
All right. And definitely sending healing energy to the family of Jordan Neely, man.
Yes. Yeah, absolutely. And everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Absolutely.
Go get your prostate checked, man.

You ain't too cool to get yourself checked out.
I'll be gay to live.
Exactly.
What'd you say?
Hey, you're proud to kill you, man.
Gay for less. Proud to kill you. That's right. Your pride will kill
you. So, you know, you better get some gay pride about you and go get that prostate check.
Okay.
Have a good one, bro.
It's the truth.
I appreciate y'all, man. I'm glad y'all helped me spread awareness about us, man. And happy
birthday and congratulations again, Montel Jordan, to being prostate cancer and spreading the word about a good talk man
Yeah, I didn't know that
Luther Montel Jordan I didn't know that but seriously man, we make jokes, but it's the truth
Yeah, I think an anus is not gay not especially well
Let's add some context when you're getting a prostate exam
It is not now when envy's doing that for pleasure. No, shut up his alone time. Yes it is
He was fine when you're doing it getting it as a prostate exam. I don't did it all I didn't did the prostate

Nice to hear your voice.
Listen, I just want to get it off my chest
that I'm glad that they got that guy
Yep.
who executed as CEO for the healthcare company.
Because you know what?
It would have cost the president if he had gotten away on the crazy individuals coming out of the woodwork.
Your phone went out a little bit bro, your phone went out.
But like you said, if they didn't catch him, there would have been other people crazy.
That's right.
Can you hear me now?
Yes.
Yeah, I'm saying that had they not caught that guy,
it would have cost some type of a precedent
with other individuals coming out of the woodwork.
I think so too.
Stuff like that.
I think so too.
I'm really glad they caught him.
I mean, listen, I used to work in the healthcare industry
and it definitely needs an overhaul, 100%.
I've seen a lot of American individuals
who are good, hardworking people lost a lot
simply because they just had an accident and basically they went into bankruptcy trying
to pay the medical fees.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm with you. The healthcare justice, the healthcare system definitely needs an
overhaul, but we don't need vigilante justice.
Nah, not at all.
Nah.
Get it off your chest.
Unless it's Batman. Nah, we got a Batman.
No, we don't need a Batman either.
Because Batman actually takes out real bad

Right now and I currently just get off
probation I'm in Georgia right now
They can it's a felony in here out here. So you got a probation for
It's a felony in here out here. So you got a probation for vaping
Yeah, it's a felony in Georgia never got really I never been in trouble or anything and now I'm a felon
But when did they catch you vaping in the car? I like marijuana leaves and I was smoking weed in the car
I had urged it and they ended up throwing up marijuana leaf charge out
And so they gave me the felony charge because they found the bait.
That is insane. You know the sad part about that is all these states are all different.
Like so you never really, you know, you would really have to do your homework when you are smoking.
Like because in New York, New Jersey is legal, but I guess in Georgia it's not.
It is decriminalized in some cities in Georgia.
I think it's decriminalized in,
I thought it was in Atlanta, Savannah.
Our is, the flower is like the leaf.
Oh, got you, got you.
The flat Georgia is a felon.
Why would they decriminalize a flower
but then a vape pen is a felon?
In the whole state of, yeah, it's crazy.
So I'm having to try that
because I'm a pharmacy technician for six years. I can't reach my license
So it's really kind of ruined my life. I've been a pharmacy technician. I'm trying to get a lawyer and all of that and try to you know
You can't say it was for your cataract? It was for medical? You can't say it was for medical use?
Nah, it's a little too late now, huh?
Yeah, I've already been st. You see this young woman is being burdened with, you know,
a BS marijuana charge, which is why they should've,
you know, decriminalized marijuana federally
a long time ago, made it legal federally a long time ago,
and then a lot of the states would've followed suit
and she wouldn't be in this situation.
Yeah, that's stupid.
It really don't make no sense.
She about to not be able to do her business
because of this, which is insane.
Meanwhile, I own a whole dispensary in right-hand New Jersey. Just think about crazy. This is Jersey
But if it was George it'd be a problem. That's what I'm saying, which makes no sense. No sense. Hello. Who's this?
Hey four three mom's corner what's happening Nicole? Hey guys, what's going on?
Nothing. Hey, hey Lauren girl. Hey, guys. What's going on? What's up, Nicole? Nothing. Hey, Evie.
Hey, Lauren girl.
Hey, good morning.
So I want to speak about the interview from yesterday
and the seasonal depression.
So unfortunately, within four months,
I lost my mother, my brother, and my sister last year.
Sorry to hear that.
I appreciate that.
Seasonal depression is definitely something that nobody really thinks about, but more
than that, the year after is the hardest.
And it's the hardest for people to understand why you can't move on.
And if you have never went through that, there's no way for people to comprehend why you can't
move on from a death.
So I just wanted to say, you know, I'm trying to stay encouraged.
I hope everybody else tries to stay encouraged.
Nicole, I'm gonna send you a copy
of Shanti Dawes' pocket guide.
It's called Have Yourself a Merry Little Grief.
Miss 20 Tips for Navigating Grief During the Holidays.
I'm gonna put that in the mail for you.
Get it out to Monks Corner.

I appreciate that, and Christmas is my birthday.
Oh, okay. Oh, happy early birthday. Crystal's is your birthday? No, appreciate that, and Christmas is my birthday. Oh, okay. Happy early birthday.
Crystal's is your birthday?
No, Christmas.
Oh, Christmas is your birthday.
Oh, December 25th.
Christmas is my birthday,
and my baby girl birthday is tomorrow, she'll be 16.
Hey. Hold on, we're gonna put you on hold.

Like why would you say, do you like the rubs?
You lit up in here though.

I didn't say why he did that.
He was like the rubs and you winked at me.

When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry.
I really wanted to be a playboy model.
Lingerie, topless.
I said, yes, please.
Because at the centre of this murky world is an alleged predator.
You know who he is because of his pattern of behaviour.
He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it.
He's everywhere and has been everywhere.
It's so much worse and so much more widespread
than I had anticipated.
Together, we're going to expose him
and the rotten industry he works in.
It's not just me.
We're an army in comparison to him.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and my latest interview is with Wiz Khalifa. The craziest part of my life, I can go from performing in front of 40,000 people to either
being in a dressing room, being in a plane, or being back in a bed all by myself.
He is a multi-platinum selling recording artist,
mini mogul, and an actor.
Which among the one, the only, the way to Kaleiwa!
Did you feel like a big break was coming?
I didn't know what that big break looked or felt like,
but I knew that what I was doing was working.
The gang banging and the drug selling,
that's not really for me. But
the looking cool, the having girls, the making music, I'm like, I like that part of it.
How was that experience for you? Losing someone so close to you that you love?
I am grateful that I was able to have the last moments that I had and to be able to
prepare for it. It was something that I'm still dealing with.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now
Let's get to just with the mess with Lauren LaRosa
On the Breakfast Club, she's a coach of shit.
With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa.
I'm back.
And I got the message.
Talk to me.
So we of course wanna take some time
to send a rest in peace and to some love to her family,
the family of Nikki Giovanni.
Poet, activist, author, professor, also a HBCU grad,
she went to the fifth university, cultural
icon for real, you know, she led the movement of the black arts and civil rights and she
passed away at 81 years old, she died peacefully at her home surrounded, you know, by her family
and her life partner. So just to, you know, give her some time and her accolades. For
people who don't know, and I don't know how you wouldn't know, she won an Emmy back in 2014 for exceptional merit in documentary filmmaking.
She made a documentary called Going to Mars, the Nikki Giovanni project, her poetry books,
her children's books, like just everything that she's done has been a staple in the way
that people think, the way that people move, the way that people just act and fight for other people's rights as well too.
And she's always just been a very outspoken person and she does it through her art.
And I remember watching an interview with her where she was talking about like, how
did she know she wanted to be a poet?
And she said she didn't, she didn't even know she wanted to be a publisher, she just wanted
to do things that people weren't doing and poetry allowed her to put things together
in a way that people weren't doing it.
So that's why she fell into poetry and got into some of the other stuff. So just
taking a moment for her and she does have a poetry book that's supposed to release in
the fall of 2025 and it's called The Last Books.
Right?
Yeah, we had the opportunity to talk to her in 2020 during COVID. It was myself and Angela
East. So we're going to get that back on for you next hour. I remember when they hit us
like, yo, Nikki Giovanni wants to chop it up with y'all
like what yeah I was traveling that day yeah but we're gonna get that back on in
a couple of minutes yeah so sending her some love and um it makes you guys tune
into that now switching gears a bit I know we've been covering Jay-Z yesterday
we talked a lot about the lawsuit that was refiled, amended, that now includes Jay-Z,
Sean Carter. It's a civil lawsuit, rape allegations against a 13-year-old girl in connection with
Diddy as well, too. So yesterday, there were some updates that happened. So yesterday,
Jay-Z's team filed a motion for the rape accuser's identity to be revealed or for a speedy dismissal of the civil suit. So Alex Spiro, who is
Jay-Z's attorney, is basically requesting that a judge looks into this and says, okay, this, the
identity of this woman who was accusing this because she fought, accusing Jay-Z and Diddy of this,
because she fought as a Jane Doe, needs to be disclosed so that they can properly do their
investigation. They don't know basically where the hit is coming from.
So it's like we need to be able to know who this is, get a timeline, just you know, we
want full transparency so that we can do our just do.
So they're asking for that to happen or they're saying this needs to be dismissed because
other than that, it's almost meritless.
And how can we properly defend ourselves if we don't know who we do, who we are defending
ourselves against.
They also point out the fact that attorney Busby has allegedly currently provided Jay-Z's
team no affidavit, no declaration of any specific factual information to justify the case or
anything.
So it's kind of hard for them to even ask for discovery, which is, hey, what do you
guys have?
Because they don't even really know much about the case because nothing's been provided.
So to me, it sounds like they're saying that they feel like this is a ghost case, like
it's a shallow case.
So they're asking for more information for that to be dismissed.
Now last night.
Well for people that are listening, tuning in, that judge just decides if it's enough
information to even go to court.
So it's very preliminary.
If what they have, they'll subpoena, they'll show the judge what they have, if there's
enough information and I believe I'm not
an attorney but if the woman says that it happened it might be enough just
to go to trial, just to see what happens. I think it should be against
the law for someone to sue you under a John or Jane Doe. I agree. Like no face, no
case. Now you got to show yourself. Like your reputation can get dragged through
the mud by a ghost and then you want me to write a random big-ass check to someone who may or may not exist?
Well playing devil's advocate for people who do foul Jane or John Doe, if there is enough
evidence and some of the stuff that Jay-Z's attorneys and that they don't have is provided
that can show like you know a timeline of things. Some people do it because- But if
you say I do something to you I want to know who it is. You can't say I did something to
you but I don't want to put my face out there, I don't
want to have my name out there, probably because of public scrutiny as well.
I was about to say, the only reason is because of public scrutiny.
But I want to know, because I'm getting scrutinized publicly, and I want to know who it is.
I can understand that most people do it because they want to protect themselves in situations
like this, but I can understand the person who's being accused being like, but wait,
I got things to protect as well too, right?
Especially if you are coming out like Jay-Z and saying, this is not true.
Or I just want my lawyer to know what we're dealing with. That's true. How can my lawyer
defend me against a ghost? That's true. That makes no sense. That's true. Now I do want to mention
we talked about you know Jay-Z the way he came out swinging and the things that he has to protect.
Last night the family Jay-Z, Beyonce, Blue Ivy and Mama Tina, Tina Knowles were out at the Mufasa
premiere because Blue Ivy is voicing the voice of,
what's the daughter's name, Naila and Simba's daughter?
Naila and Simba, I forgot.
Yeah, I'll get the name.
But she's voicing the daughter of Naila and Simba
in the new Mufasa movie.
And yeah, people had a lot to say about this because.
Kiara.
Kiara, Kiara, yes, Kiara. and her mom is you know the voice is
going to be her mom's voice in this as well too but you know the focus is on
blue ivy now I brought this up and number one they look gorgeous I can't
believe how big blue ivy is like I was looking at her yesterday like wow I'm
getting older. Dropping the clues balls for the card is damn it. Yeah and and you know
they're out they're looking good they smiling but there was a big back and
forth online number one about the way
That we covered Jay-z here in the room yesterday
I don't we cover people felt like I mean I thought that it was very neutral and people just you guys are speaking to
How you felt but people felt like it was not neutral people felt like it was people people online
You have you have the bloggers. You have the people on Twitter. You have you know a bunch of people
the bloggers, you have the people on Twitter, you have, you know, a bunch of people. It was covered.
Were they Drake fan pages?
Some of them.
It was covered.
It was covered neutrally.
Yeah.
It was covered neutrally.
I believe so too, but there were people who felt like it wasn't, that we basically covered
it in a way where we're already calling Jay-Z innocent because of how he responded.
But at the same time, there was an argument back and forth online and I got caught in
a crossfire of that, of people saying, well, it's not fair for you to mention that this is the first time that you were seeing
the Cardinals family out since the allegations, right?
It's the difference between saying
you believe somebody's innocent
and just simply saying, I don't believe these claims.
And I don't believe these claims.
But you have a right to say that as well, too.
You have a right to say that.
And anybody who wants to say,
well, you should wait until things go to court, they have a
right to say that as well too.
But you can't get upset at somebody for saying how they feel.
We presented facts and then we said how we felt.
Yeah, I saw a lot of people were sending me Drake fan pages and I saw academics, Sleuth
academics, I saw him say that we need to keep that same energy because if it was Drake,
we would be kicking his back in.
No, the hell we wouldn't.
Like I've been telling you about this grift that lawyers have been doing for the last couple of years right like these lawyers
will reach out to your team tell you they have a client that that has these
claims and they will say to you pay us are we gonna hold press conferences get
our client interviews etc that's extortion and I've been consistent in
saying that I don't care who it's against and furthermore I reserved the
right to say I don't believe these claims against Jay-Z I mean you do this
you do reserve that right now.
I will say also too yesterday, Envy, you got something to say?
Nah, nah, I agree with what Charlamagne says.
I mean I've seen it happen.
I mean it's happened to me where attorneys reach out and try to get a check.
Like it happens every day, all day.
Like I said, it's stupid to me.
Especially with sexual assault allegations.
Yeah, and it's something because they try to embarrass you.
They try to make it seem like we're going to go to the press and if we don't, we're going to try to embarrass
you.
And what it usually does, it usually embarrasses the person because most people, what they
do, they pull away endorsements, they pull away sponsorships, they pull away all these
different things and try to hurt you publicly so you can't make money.
And it's f-ed up.
And I will say too, not to cut you off, but I want to get this in that people, if you
think about this in back in November, I think it was the one Jay-Z filed, he filed anonymously.
Then he came out and said, you know what, I was the one that filed, bring on the heat,
right?
I think that you can't be upset at somebody for saying, I'm going to defend myself loudly
and saying, I want to know who you are.
And also people saying he has a right to do so and I don't believe the claims like you
have to, if you want people to be neutral and like stick to facts
You got a lot of people also have an opinion as well, too
Yeah, but also like like we always say we don't know the facts of every case
But if if Charlamagne knows Jay-z or I know Jay-z and I know somebody's character and I could say I don't think he did it
He does his opinion. I don't even know it's not even about that for me
It's just about the grift that I know lawyers be doing.
And like with Puff, we were on the same type of time until the video with Cassie came out.
All right?
Because after Puff told us that Cassie's claims weren't true and then a video comes out, I
can't give them the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah.
And I think that's a big difference here as well too.
Like we saw things were so different because Puff also asked for Jindos names to be revealed
and one of the ladies were revealed.
He also asked for things to be dismissed
and he hasn't worked out as well for him
because the evidence is a little different.
They're accusing him of reaching out to witnesses,
there's a Cassie video,
there's just a bunch of different stuff.
Can I say one more thing?
I know we gotta wrap.
Yes, go ahead.
Drake fans, it's not my fault Kendrick busted Drake's ass.
That was not a thing.
I know y'all love Drake. I know y'all love Drake.
I know y'all love Drake.
That's your God.
That's your God.
That's your God.
I understand.
I get it.
Y'all have to stop with these false equivalencies because truthfully you made Drake look bad.
Drake lost a rap battle.
Accusations were made in a rap battle.
He's not being charged criminally or sued civilly.
So relax with the false equivalency to other cases, please. You make your man look bad.
That's not your man. And that's Jess with the mess. Don't try to skip over my question, Envy. What? You're not in the beige community no more.
What you mean beige community? We gotta go, they put you out. I don't have any horses in none of those races. I just love hip hop music. That's what it is.
All right. Now when we come back, of course, we got to send a rest in peace to Nikki Giovanni. We got front page news and then we're going to
get back our interview on with her. We did about four years ago during 2020 during the start of
COVID. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning everybody. It's DJ
Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Laurel and Rosa filling in for
Jess and let's get in some front page news to start off with some football.
Now the Bengals beat the Cowboys last night 27-20.
Charlamagne, are y'all still in the hunt for the Super Bowl or are you giving that up?
I mean, it would take a real miracle, but yeah, I'm probably giving it up.
But see, here's the thing. I am a delusional Dallas Cowboy fan.
So I'm already thinking about next year. We're going to Super Bowl next year
Okay, we are going to the Super Bowl next year you hear me
I'm gonna be as loyal to me as these Cowboy fans are cuz I don't know much about football
But I feel really bad for you
The difference between the Cowboys and this man that you keep talking about the Cowboys actually damn it man. Oh wow wow
I'm setting up a boundary. Didn't about that earlier you won't disrupt my peace
Let's hop right into a Mimi all right let's go here we go
So you know this next story has millions of has millions of TikTok users and creators holding their breath. So big changes could be coming down
for the app soon. TikTok is asking for a last minute delay to stop a ban from taking effect.
On Monday, TikTok's its parent company bite dance, they asked for a delay by the US Supreme
Court so that they could review the law. And this comes after a judge rejected the company's challenge to the law
and a federal appeals court.
The law that would ban TikTok if it's not sold to a new owner is set to go
into effect January 19th.
Now that's one day before president elect Trump will be sworn into office.
Trump has signaled that he will try to reverse the ban once he's back in power.
I want to see TikTok sold to my guy, Frank McCourt.
Salute to Frank McCourt.
We've had Frank here on the Breakfast Club.
Frank believes in consumer privacy and data protection.
And he wants to acquire TikTok and create a broader plan to allow consumers to
monetize their own data, as opposed to the current model
that withholds technology unless users give their data away for free.
So I want to see Frank McCourt and Project Liberty acquire TikTok.
All right, there you have it.
And President-elect Trump is, he's sticking with his plan to levy tariffs against America's
trading partners in an interview with NBC that
aired over the weekend.
Trump said heavy tariffs will be
imposed against nations like
Mexico, Canada, and China.
And during that interview,
he was asked if tariffs would
increase prices for American
consumers, and this is what he had
to say.
I can't guarantee anything.
I can't guarantee tomorrow.
But I can say that if you look at my, just pre-COVID,
we had the greatest economy in the history of our country.
And I had a lot of tariffs on a lot of different countries.
Yes, they will increase prices.
Of course they will.
Every economist on the planet knows
that they're going to increase prices.
And if you do remember before COVID,
there was certain goods
that had like tripled, like as far as cost of concern. And it was taking forever for things
to get over here from China. So if you were doing like any house renovations or anything like that,
oh man, you were going through it. That's right. Yeah, you know, and to that point, you know,
tariffs, they're just taxes that get passed on to the American consumer, right? So we're talking like smartphones will go up everyday household appliances
Gaming consoles that come from China. They said that those may go up 40%
So that's an extra $200 on an already expensive Xbox or PlayStation
So if you think things are expensive now, it's only gonna it's only gonna get worse
Yeah, and you voted for Trump for the economy man boy
You bought to be really really really, really, really,
really, really pissed off.
But once again, I can't be mad at them
because for whatever reason, Republicans have just,
you know, made people believe that they are the party
that puts more money in your pockets.
Even though historically, since World War II,
when they're the Democrat in the White House,
the economy does better.
But you know, messaging is important, Democrats suck at it. Republicans are great at it.
Yeah. And now to a major ruling impacting healthcare access for Dreamers. A federal court
in North Dakota has blocked healthcare coverage under the Affordable Care Act for immigrants who
came to the U.S. illegally as children, better known as Dreamers. On Monday, a US district court ruled in favor of Kansas and 18 other states.
They had asked the court to stop a rule from the Biden administration that would
have allowed some Dreamers access to healthcare insurance through
the affordable care marketplace.
Now the judge, he agreed to temporarily stop the government from letting Dreamers
in those
states access healthcare, which means for now, Dreamers in those states won't be able
to sign up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
And this one, Katanji Brown Jackson, she's already the first black Supreme Court justice,
but now she will become the first Supreme Court justice to make her Broadway debut for
the one-night-only walk walk on role in the hit musical comedy
and Juliette Jackson will appear in the evening show on
Saturday December 14th and will stick around for a talk back
afterward with audience members. That's dope. She probably need that
stress reliever man. You know she's 6'3 conservative majority. You know she can't
never get nothing done.
She's probably tired of fighting with new people.
She's like, you know, let me go try something else.
Right, let's jump on Broadway.

Were people DMing you and hitting you up on social?
Yeah, I had to turn my phone, like just turn it over.
Yeah Mimi, go off.
My social cap just, I was like I can't, it was actually causing me anxiety if I'm being honest,

Well, thank you Mimi.
Mimi Brown TV.
All right, y'all.
All right.
Now when we come.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Thank you.
When we come back, we gotta send a rest in peace
to Nikki Giovanni.
She passed away yesterday, but the Breakfast Club
had the chance to interview her, what,
like four or five years ago?
Yeah, that's why the Breakfast Club documentary
is gonna be so good.
That's why the Breakfast Club documentary
is gonna be so powerful,
because we have so many different conversations with so many different
legendary iconic people and Nikki Giovanni is one of them, man.
So it was a pleasure to sit down with this.
This is force, this force in nature.
That's right. And Angela Yee is actually on the interview.
So when you hear her voice, don't be surprised.
This was about four years ago during COVID.
And it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Morning morning. The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got to send a rest in peace to Nikki Giovanni.
Yes, man, the legendary Nikki Giovanni, man.
She was a poet, a writer, an activist, educator.
I don't know any poet, I'm about to say in America, but probably the world, who has not been inspired by Nikki Giovanni
in some way, shape or form, man.
And we had the pleasure, the Breakfast Club
had the pleasure of speaking with her
actually during COVID.
Yeah, this was 2020 during COVID.
I think she was promoting her poetry book,
Make Me Rain, Poems and Pro,
but I mean, you never really need a reason
to talk to Nikki Giovanni.
It's Nikki Giovanni.
I believe Angela Yee was on.
Yeah, this was what, like four or five years ago,
Angela Yee was on.
I actually wasn't on, I actually was traveling,
but we're gonna get that back on.
I mean, it's only right.
Yep.
And it's The Breakfast Club, good morning.
Yep, it's the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show,
The Breakfast Club, and we are blessed this morning
to have the presence of a person I consider an icon.
Miss Nikki Giovanni is here.
Good morning, Queen. How are you? Good morning. How are you? I am blessed black and highly favored.
I love that. She's got a new book out, Make Me Rain, poems in prose.
Timely is your poem about voting because that has been such a heavy discussion.
Yeah, we uh well of course and um I think everybody turned out and we won and that's that's uh that's
very nice. I've got on pink today. I'm a Delta and our colors of course are red and white but uh in
honor of our new vice president I'm wearing pink and green. My mother-in-law is a Delta. Good for her. See,
that's why you're a nice guy. How do you feel about the election of Senator Kamala Harris?
What does that mean for black women? I'm glad for the country actually. I think it's good for
all of us, but I think it's a statement for the country. When we look at what Black women have given to this country,
and of course I'm a big, big fan,
and you couldn't help but love Fannie Lou Hamer,
and Mrs. Hamer and her confrontation
with Lyndon Johnson in 1964,
when she took the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party
over to Atlantic City.
And it was back and forth, they testified back and forth. the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party over to Atlantic City.
And it was back and forth. They testified back and forth.
And finally, Lyndon Johnson came to Mrs. Hamer, as you know, and said, well, why don't you
take two seats because they, Mrs. Sipp had four.
She said, why don't I give you two seats and we'll work it out for next time.
And Mrs. Hamer looked at me and said, we didn't come in for no two seats.
And I've always loved her for that. So seeing where we are right now,
and I'm sorry that Mrs. Hamer is not here.
I know that it would just absolutely please her.
But I know that as a black woman,
having watched things like Mrs. Hamer,
I know that I will always vote.
And I was glad to see that our vote,
the black vote was such a big turnout.
Well, I hope Senator Harris has the same impact on Joe Biden that Ms.
Hamer had on Lyndon B.
Johnson. Somebody got through to him clearly.
Oh yeah. And it's, he's not dumb.
Biden is not, it's not dumb, you know, he can add.
And I think too that, that Mrs.
Harris, she was a friend, as you know, Senator, Vice President Harris now,
was a friend of Biden and worked together on a number of issues. So she was not unknown
to the President, to President Biden. Right. And another poem that I like that you have,
that I appreciate, is Raise Your Hand in Favor of Immigrants. And I thought that was so well said.
So tell me, like like I like to know
just because you are so inspirational like when you wrote this was there something in particular
were you watching the news like what inspired you when you did raise your hand in favor of
immigrants? Oh I love raise your hand because I used to travel a lot and the people who were
cleaning the women's toilets were immigrants. They were Hispanic people.
And of course, not that it made,
I don't want you to think that I think I'm a big deal
on this, but every time I wanted to urinate,
I would go in, I'd take a dollar out
before I went into the bathroom
so that as I washed my hands, I could put a dollar in,
and they used to have a little box there.
And somebody complained, I know in
North Carolina at Charlotte airport, a lot of complaints, which I didn't understand why,
and they had to take the boxes away. And so the next time I was in, the boxes were gone.
I asked one of the ladies, my Spanish is really poor, but I said, where's the box? And she said,
in other words, they made us take it. And so again, I made a
point of finding the women and giving my dollar. And I say,
well, the dollar is not enough, but I bet you over a hundred
people peed. And it would have made a difference to the women.
And I couldn't understand why, why, why wouldn't you want, why
wouldn't you want those women to have a tip? They're the ones
wiping the bowl dry so that you to have a tip they're the ones wiping the the bowl dry
so that you can have that they're the ones keeping the floor dry so that you're not slipping on it
and it bothered me and I thought yeah everybody's been complaining these people are taking my job
well if you want one of those job raise your hand which job which job are you want raise your hand
let me let me see who wants the job.
They're working to take care of their children. They're working to see to it that their children go.
And again, Harris is so important here, that their children go to school.
They're doing the dirty jobs that nobody wants to do.
And what I really want to know, and I'm going to call later on this afternoon, I know a commissioner in DC.
I want to know how many people who worked
in the White House died.
I can't believe that the COVID has been going around
the White House the way that it has.
And the people who are cleaning,
who are changing the bed every day,
who are fluffing the pillow every day,
I don't believe that they did not have the COVID
and that some of them haven't died.
And I think that that's something that I would love to see the churches in Washington,
because most of the people who do work like that do belong to the church,
because you have to believe in God to be bothered with that.
And we know that some of the Hispanic people who work in the golf courses,
we know that they got tired of hearing Donald Trump.
We know that they resigned.
I mean, you can go back and look that up So I'm just interested and who died in the White House who was cooking for that ungrateful man
All right, that was first part of our interview with Nikki Giovanni. Rest in peace Nikki Giovanni
We have more with that conversation when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning
Good morning, everybody is DJ NV Jess hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning everybody. It's D.E.J.N.V. Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, if you're just joining us, again,
rest in peace to Nikki Giovanni.
She passed away.
We had the pleasure of speaking with her
about four years ago during COVID.
Angela Yee was here.
Charlamagne got a chance to chop it up with her.
I was actually out that day
and we're gonna get that back on.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
You know, in regards to being Black in America,
dealing with racism, the describes we have made
as a community, I always wondered,
how does the world look now to someone like you,
who was around, you know, in the 60s?
I think the world is doing a good job.
I think we are making better steps.
There was a time that you and I could not be
talking on the radio because we wouldn't have had a radio. There was a time or however we're
talking zoom, whatever we're doing. There was a time that you and I would not be able to walk down
the street. And there's an old song that I do love so much. It said we are climbing Jacob's ladder.
Every round goes higher and higher. And I think that we've made some, some steps.
And I think that again, having somebody as evil as Donald Trump in our presence
has reminded us that there is a better world, that we can do better, that there's
something that, that we need to, you know, sow some seeds out there and, and, and
see some smiles and some kindness.
So you still suffer from PTSD then from that time, that era?
Well yeah. I mean, can't help it, you know.
Has your prose and poetry been therapeutic for you all these decades to be able to express yourself that way?
Well, all I have, and all fairness to myself, all I have are words and so I've always felt,
and I learned a lot of that from my grandmother
and grandfather, but mostly from my grandmother.
You have to use your words.
I try to be as honest and as clear as I know how to be.
And that's all I have.
Words are important though,
when you look at the people who have suffered
for the words that they've said,
I'm very fortunate that right now,
I have not suffered for the words. Nobody has said. I'm very fortunate that right now I have not suffered
for the words.
I have nobody, you know, has beat me up or something.
I went to school with John Lewis.
We were both at Fisk University together
and the beatings that John took, you know.
So I thought if all I have were words,
then I have to use it to explain to the next generation,
this is what we've done to make it a better world for you.
And you have to pay it forward.
You have to make it a better world.
Why has poetry always been your vehicle of choice
to get your messaging out?
Why poetry?
Poetry, and I really, and again,
I love the steps that poetry takes.
Poetry has always been, not just for me,
but you can go back thousands of years,
poetry has been the way people express themselves. And you know, if Jesus were here right now,
he'd be a rapper, but he'd be honestly wouldn't be Ice Cube or some fool like that. But he would be
a rapper. He'd be Tupac. He'd be telling people and sharing with people, this is what the world
offers.
And I'm not Jesus, you know,
I'm not a fool on that one either.
I just know that what I have are words.
And so I try to use the words.
I'm never in a room that the door is locked.
So if I say something, nobody wants to hear,
they can just get up and walk out.
It works for me.
Cause nobody has to take it,
nobody has to be bothered with me.
The door is always open.
But my job is always to tell the truth.
So I'm going to do my job, and you handle what you can handle.
I do want to push back a little bit on Ice Cube.
Ice Cube was one of our great messengers, always has been.
Well, Cube, you know, Cuban and Trump, that was not a wise thing.
And he backed off of it because he realized,
oh, I shouldn't be doing this.
But that was, it wasn't just unwise.
It was mean.
Cuban and Kanye West, both of them,
are sucking up the power, and they need to stop that.
They need to just back it down
because we've had some really, really important people
who have tried to help. We've looked at our athletes who have given up an awful lot. You know,
you can go back to a friend of mine, Muhammad Ali, all the way up, that the athletes have really
fought for us. And we fought for the right for the rappers. We opened that stage. So to see cube sitting there, like I'm going
to give give Trump an idea of some kind of plan for black people that that that hurt
my heart. I thought, you know, what is wrong with that Negro?
Don't you have to engage sometimes with, you know, an administration you may not agree
with even an administration that may be a threat to us as a community if they're in that power. No, no, no, Jesus didn't go when when and I have to say it
this way because the only way I can know when Jesus was out in the in the desert 40 days and
40 nights Satan came to him, didn't he? And Jesus said to Satan, get thee behind me. So there's no
cube, none of them. that's not what they do.
You come and talk to the people because it's the people that have made you what you are.
And no, you don't engage.
Cuba's not going to engage.
He's looking for something to use.
And somebody else said it, I wish I had.
If you don't see the face of the devil, it's cause you runnin' with him.
What about Martin Luther King Jr.? Because Martin Luther King Jr. used to get a lot of
flack when he was engaging with the John F. Kennedy's and Lyndon B. Johnson's of the
world. People called him Uncle Tom and the Coon and the Sellout and said a lot of the
same things. What do you say about that?
I say that everybody has a right to be upset by some of that.
What I was trying to say is that Elijah Cummings talks about this in his book that he just
put out and how he met with Donald Trump and he proposed some plans to him.
And Donald Trump said, okay, yeah, let's get it done.
And then never did anything.
And there's a lot of promises that he's made to people that work in the administration
and has never delivered on them.
And so I think he clearly talks about how it's just not even worth engaging with him
because he only does things if it's, you know, to benefit himself.
And I don't know how Biden is.

Hi, I'm David Borden.
And I'm his grandson Langston Kerman.
And we host My Mama Told Me, a podcast about black conspiracy theories.
And more importantly, we are here to tell you about a very spectacular live episode we have
coming out. It features some of your favorite comedians in the world. David Tellamhoo.
We got the Kid Mero. We got Marie Faustin. And we have Jaboukie Young White.
Truly a phenomenal episode featuring some of your favorite comedians playing some of
the most offensive and groundbreaking games possible.
The audience was amazing.
We shot it all in Brooklyn.
You're not going to want to miss it.
Let's get nasty.
So listen to My Mama Told Me on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
We want to speak out.
We want to raise awareness and we want this to stop.
Wow.
Very powerful.
I'm Ellie Flynn and I'm an investigative journalist.
When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart
of the adult entertainment industry.
I really wanted to be a playboy model.
Lingerie, topless.
I said, yes, please.
Because at the center of this murky world
is an alleged predator.
You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior?
He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it.
He's everywhere and has been everywhere.
It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated.
Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in.
It's not just me.
We're an army in comparison to him.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and my latest interview
is with Wiz Khalifa.
The craziest part of my life, I can go from performing
in front of 40,000 people to either being in a dressing room,
being in a plane, or being back in a bed all by myself.
He is a multi-platinum selling recording artist,
mini mogul, and an actor.
Which among the one, the only, the way to Kaleidos.
Did you feel like a big break was coming?
I didn't know what that big break looked or felt like,
but I knew that what I was doing was working.
The gang banging and the drug selling,
that's not really for me.
But the looking cool, the having girls,
the making music, I'm like, I like that part of it.
How was that experience for you?
Losing someone so close to you that you love?
I am grateful that I was able to have
like the last moments that I had
and to be able to prepare for it.
And it was something that I'm still dealing with.

Martha Stewart has been a household name
for over four decades and still isn't done.
Join iHeart Media Chairman and CEO, Bob Pitman,
for a special episode of the hit podcast,
Map and Magic, Stories from the Frontiers of Marketing,
as he interviews this icon in front of a live audience
to celebrate her 100th book, Martha, the Cookbook,
100 Favorite Recipes with lessons and stories
from My Kitchen.
Did you ever think you were gonna wind up
writing 100 books?
Yeah.
You did?
Yeah, it's just a minor goal.
This intimate and wide ranging conversation between friends covers the pivotal decisions
in Martha's career, the philosophy that has guided her, and the source of so much of her
creative inspiration.
They actually looked at the July issue that I had prototyped, and they said,
this is fabulous. What would you do next July? And I said, well, living is a limitless subject
matter.
Listen to Map and Magic on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts.
... gonna turn out because they're all whatever.
But I think that it's only fair when people are upset that they have a right to be upset
because we're the ones, the black community are the ones, we're the ones that gave up
their lives. We're the ones that were beaten to death from ones, we're the ones that gave up their lives.
We're the ones that were beaten to death from Emmett Till on,
from the people hanging from the trees that we don't know.
So nobody wants to hear, well, I'm gonna help you.
I was disappointed, if I may say so.
In Bernice, when Mrs. King died, as you know,
the Bush people wanted to come to the funeral. But Harry Belafonte
had been the person who had taken care of Mrs. King, who when Martin died, it was Harry
who said to Mrs. King, don't worry. Don't worry. I've got the kids. They don't worry
about them going to college. I've got your back. He took care of those people. And the
Bush people said, we're not going to come to the funeral got your back. He took care of those people. And the Bush people said,
we're not going to come to the funeral if Harry Belafonte is there. Now, this is something you
know, you can look up whatever. And Bernie said, oh, and told Harry Belafonte, well, you cannot come.
That was disappointing. Now, she has, of course, recognized that she was a fool.
And I think she's trying to do some other things.
I'm not, I'm not trying to judge her. I'm just saying that was disappointing.
So Ms.
Giovanni, how should we engage then?
Because I'm just hypothetically, and I'm glad we don't have to deal with this.
If Trump would have stayed in the white house, could black people afford to just
sit on the sidelines for four years and not engage?
I don't know.
Sweetheart, I'm going to say it again, God is good.
I do not know what we would do with four more years of Trump.
Now, that doesn't mean it totally, or it doesn't mean to me that Biden is some angel someplace,
but it does mean he's better than Trump.
So I'm going to hope that America moves forward.
That's all I can do.
And I'm gonna be as honest about watching things as I can.
Rest in peace, Nikki Giovanni.
We have more with that conversation when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club, good morning.
Morning everybody, it's the EJNV Charlamagne the guy,
Jess Hilarious.
We are the Breakfast Club. We gotta send a rest in peace to Nikki Giovanni. Now Charlamagne the guy, Jess Hilarious, we are the Breakfast Club.
We gotta send a rest in peace to Nikki Giovanni.
Now Charlamagne, you got a chance to actually talk with her
about what, four or five years ago during COVID?
It was during, it was 2020 if I'm not mistaken, yep.
Yeah, Angelie was also on the interview.
We're gonna get that back on.
She passed away yesterday,
and it's the Breakfast Club, good morning.
I watch your conversation with James Baldwin quite often.
Thank you.
And there's so many gems that were in that conversation. Good morning. I watch your conversation with James Baldwin quite often. Thank you.
And there's so many gems that were in that conversation. Like you talk about the language of love. What is the language of love to you? Right now, you and I, you're like my son right now.
But this is the language of love. We're honestly engaging in each other. We're honestly sharing
with our community and whoever else wants to listen. We're not closing.
When, as I said earlier, I don't lock the door and we're not cutting off any
communication here.
Anybody wants to tune in can tune in.
That's the language of love.
We are communicating and we are trying to help each other get through it.
Cause it's still not going to be easy.
Yeah.
I don't know if you know it or it now but there was such a discussion around your conversation with James Baldwin you know especially the part
where you said you want a man you basically told him lie to me the way you lied to the white man.
I love I will always remember Jimmy's face when I said that because he just went like, oh, because he hadn't thought about it that way. Because
Jimmy knew that they do, we do lie to people who hate us. We smile at them in the morning.
We do lie to the people who hate us. So if it's going to be a lie, lie to me. I'm the
one trying to make you understand. I love you. I'm the one trying to have a meal for
you. You know, it's fascinating when you look at history, and I love you. I'm the one trying to have a meal for you.
You know, it's fascinating when you look at history
and I love history.
It's fascinating when you look at the enslaved woman
who got up before dawn and put on some food.
One of the reasons that I and many other Southerners
love food that cooks all day is that we got used to it
from our grandmothers and they got used to it
from their grandmothers, but she used to it from their grandmothers.
But she would put a pot on and a fire.
She would then go out into the field with him.
They would work all day and when they came on,
they would be came home in this little shack.
And you've seen slave shack.
You've seen what they gave for black people to live in,
but they would have food that was warm,
that she had cooked, that they would eat,
and that was love.
And I think that we have to recognize the love that we gave.
And of course, let me be real clear about that.
Black men loved and still do black women.
We don't have any history of black men
beating black women doing slavery. Don't have any history of black men beating black women doing slavery.
I have any history of that. So when did you learn it?
Learned it from your oppressor.
You see what I'm saying?
You have a quote that I love and I wish in this era of cancel culture more people would
adopt it. You say mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the era that counts.
Could you could you expand on that?
Oh, no, that's quite true.
People get upset when they when they get upset if they have
the wrong boyfriend or girlfriend.
They get upset if they don't get the job they thought.
People get upset because they think that life should be
smooth and we all are going to make mistakes.
There's a reason pencils have erasers.
And one of the things that I am a firm believer in
and it's why I don't read my own,
I don't read, I seldom, I shouldn't say I don't,
but very seldom read my old poetry.
It's because I don't mind contradicting myself.
And I would say that I teach here at Virginia Tech.
And one of the things I try to tell my students
is don't involve yourself too much in your early writing because if
you do you'll try not to contradict yourself. If you won't contradict yourself you won't grow.
And one of the sad things and I knew I had the the pleasure of knowing that she was my sorority
sister Aretha Franklin but also I looked at a young Michael Jackson.
I didn't know, I knew Michael, but not like we weren't friends.
And what he did as a singer, what she did actually as a singer,
what Prince did as a singer is they kept singing the same song.
And if you're singing the same song, eventually it wears you down.
So we know that Prince, I'm sure you know that Prince was not, for example, a drug addict.
Prince died because he had pills because of the pain.
He was trying to dance.
He was trying to put on high heel shoes and dance because he thought that's what people
wanted.
And of course, whether that's what people wanted or not,
leave the door open and go out and do it because she's a great musician.
It's a shame that we lost him because he wanted to be something that he had been finished with.
Show me someone not full of herself and I'll show you a hungry person.
Oh, yeah.
I keep trying to grasp what that quote means.
Can you explain that one?
Well, the first thing, and I'm always laughing about that, and I'm now going to speak as
a black woman.
But the first thing you have to do when you wake up in the morning as a black woman is
look in the mirror and smile at yourself.
Because all of your life, all of your mother's life, all of your grandmother's life, we've
been told we were ugly and we were black.
We've been told, and so the first thing you have to do
is you have to train yourself.
So you wake up and you smile in the mirror,
you look at yourself and say, girl, you all right.
Because if you don't do that,
that may be the only smile you get today.
And if you do it, if you get into that habit,
it's gonna fill you up and you're gonna be you, you're going to be kind to yourself.
You're going to look out for yourself.
You're going to pay attention to yourself.
And I think that that's so important because we've seen so many people be abused because
they didn't know that they didn't have to, they didn't have to be abused, that that was
not a good idea, that what they needed to do was to love themselves.
What I'm saying, it's very important that we look at women because what we do with men is we take
away so much of the joy of men. Men, not we do, we let men have fights with people who don't matter
and we love you. So we do expect you to come home and be and be kind to us. We expect
you to to spend some time with us. And we're not asking for a lot of money. We know you were poor
when we were sleeping with you. We're just saying pay a little attention here. Let us know that you
care. Wow. I love that. I love what you said too about smiling in the mirror because you got these kids who get on social media
looking for validation from everybody else
and not giving it to themselves.
You have to give it to yourself.
And you know, you're a good person.
The one thing you have to say to yourself is,
I'm a good person because you are.
To be a Black American is to be great actually
because we have built a nation and by building the nation we
built a world and i think that nobody i really don't i don't know anybody who would wake up in
the morning and say i want to be white i just don't i don't know if you do i don't know anybody
anybody that does that but i know a lot of people who wake up
and say I wanna be darker
and they go down to the Caribbean
so that they can get a tan.
That's right.
Yeah.
So.
Man, it was such a pleasure.
Everything you're saying is amazing
and it gives me such a better understanding of myself.
And that's what a wise woman once said,
if you don't understand yourself,
you don't understand anyone else.
Now wise woman was Ms Miss Nikki Giovanni.
So thank you.
Go pick up the book, make me rain poems and prose.
Miss Giovanni, it was a pleasure.
Thank you, it's my pleasure. Thank you.
Thank you, it's the Breakfast Club, Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess. Rest in peace, Nikki Giovanni. And rest in peace, Nikki Giovanni.
Let's get to Jess with the Mess.
News is real, whether it's the hilarious Jessica Robin
Moore, Jess don't do no lying.
Don't do no lying.
Get out of my face.
She don't spare nobody.
Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess.
On the Breakfast Club, she's a coach of sorts.
With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa.
I'm back. And I got the mess. Talk to me. Alrighty, also picking this back up from the first hour, not specifically Jay-Z related,
but the attorney there's reports out right now of a filing against attorney Tony Busby,
which is the attorney that has filed a bunch of lawsuits against Diddy recently amended
the lawsuit and added Jay-Z's name into the sexual assault allegations.
There's a man suing him right now a man named Matthew Ray Thompson.
This man is alleging that back in 2023, he was hurt very badly on a job.
So he retained attorney Busby when he retained attorney Busby because he was trying to you
know, just get money for being heard on the job.
Attorney Busby worked it out with his employer at the time that they would of course pay
him on the leave, I guess while they figured out decided what was happening and why they
worked on a settlement and once the settlement happened.
Now when that happened, Matthew says that this triggered automatic payments from his
employer that would then go to Busby first and then Busby would distribute those payments
to him, which happens when you sell out a lot of times in a injured on a job type of case.
But he says that the issue came in where it got to a point somehow some way where he's
alleging that Busby started to loan him his own money.
And he says to add insult to injury, Busby begins a bus he began to attach a very high interest rate onto this.
Now he claims that Busby held back more than 60% of the money that he was owed from whatever
the settlement was and alleges that Busby had a representative or had a rep already
for pulling his move with other clients.
And this guy, I guess found that out after.
So people are picking this up and reporting it because they're putting it with the fact
that, you know, Jay-Z say, Oh, you just ambulance chaser.
You just try to get money from these cases.
So this guy is saying in his suit that basically what he learned from his his experience was
that Busby, he's alleging that Busby became rich by milking settlements with threats of
negative attention from people who rely on their public reputations for their livelihood.
I haven't reached out to Busby for comment on this, but some of the reports said that they have reached out and that there's no word back yet. So
this is picking up again because Jay-Z is like, yo, you only doing this for the money.
And then this lawsuit happens and people are like, oh, is this a lawsuit that is this what
he's talking about? Now you remember BuzzFeed was saying that Jay-Z went and got a private
investigator and was trying to dig up all this dirt and blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, so there's a lot starting to come out now
about I guess Busby and where a lot of his clients
and people stand with him.
Somebody gonna set up a Busby hotline
and it's gonna say if Busby ever did you dirty.
Yep, call 1-800- whatever.
Call 1-800-BUSBY-BUSBY.
1-800-BUSBY-BUSBY is crazy.
That's a lot of, how many numbers is that?
That's too many numbers.
That's too many numbers. That's too many numbers.
But I think in this case, I think, I don't want to say Busby met his match, but he met
his match.
He met somebody with the finances that can go at him that doesn't have to settle and
is not looking to settle.
So we'll see how this plays out in court.
Yeah.
I mean, I would just hope as an attorney, I hope his hands are clean because I think
if you, whenever you dig into somebody else's dirt, if there's dirt, somebody's going to
dig it.
You know what I mean?
It's just a part of the game. Now moving on, Jamie Foxx, you guys know he's been advertising his, what had happened was
Netflix special.
It dropped, it is out.
I've watched some of it, not all of it, but it is really, really good.
And I would honestly call this more than just a Netflix comedy special.
He gets very emotional.
He's telling his story, what happens.
And it's almost like a production, like he's telling his life story.
There's music queued, a lot of gospel, but he walks out on stage instantly just happy to be alive. Literally. Let's take a listen
If I dance all night, don't mind me. I'm happy to be alive.
So in that audio, he's walking out and he just dances.
I'm on a new level.
I'm on a new level.
But he's in tears and he's like, yo, Atlanta, y'all have no, like, I'm so happy to be here.
I'm literally happy to be alive.
And for a background, for people who did not know, the medical emergency that Jamie Foxx
suffered, which we are going to get into because he finally does disclose what it was, happened
in Atlanta. So for him, he says his comedy career really
took off in Atlanta, that medical emergency happened in Atlanta. So it was important for
him to come back to Atlanta to do this special. Now let's take a look.
That was what the medical emergency was Lauren.
Calm down. Calm down.
We're going to get to it. Okay. All right. So, um, what?
I'm just laughing at him.
Don't let, cause Bobby, I know it's over here moving. I thought she was mad at her. Um, okay. So
you get to what?
I'm trying to leave me alone. Dang. You good?
No, cause you got all the good stuff and you ain't telling me.
I want to know about the medical emergency.
I want to know what he said about puff. I don't care about all this other stuff.
You want to look at you puff. Okay. So the next, the next clip he does get into Diddy and he talks about if Diddy had
Anything to do with him in the medical emergency.
The internet was trying to kill me though. The internet said that Puffy tried to kill me. That's what the internet was saying.
I know what you're thinking Diddy.
Hell nah, nothing parties early.
I was out by nine.
Something don't look right.
It's slippery in here.
Hi, Phil.
Charlotte.
I got to watch it.
All right.
Now in the next part, he also talks about like what actually happened to him again.
When this happened, it was mom.
We knew something happened.
His daughter and his sister did a really good job of protecting all of the details, so we've
never fully gotten it.
Let's take a listen.
What had happened was...
Hey, how you doing?
Wow.
Man, please Lord, let me get through this.
April 11th, I was having a bad headache and I asked my boy for aspirin and I realized quickly that
when you're in a medical emergency your boys don't know what the f*** to do.
But I was having such a bad headache so I asked my boy I said listen I need a aspirin.
Before I could get the aspirin I went out.
I don't remember 20 days. What they told me was that they took me to the
first doctor and that doctor just gave me a cortisone shot and sent me home. Yeah, I
don't know what the fuck is that? I don't know if you can do Yelps for doctors, but
that's half a star.
Yeah. So then he continues on his sister and his daughter. And I remember I was working
at TMZ when this happened. And when these type of things happen normally there's always
a way that you can get some info.
When I tell you they held it down you could not get anywhere close to Jamie and what happened
to him and he talks about his daughter and his sister.
So what was the medical emergency?
We about to get into it.
Let's take a listen to the next clip.
My little sister who's always played the background now got to play the lead.
They say she drove around Atlanta sort of aimlessly.
She didn't really know where the hospitals was, but as she was driving around, she came
up on Piedmont Hospital.
As she drove around, she didn't know anything about Piedmont Hospital, but she had a hunch
that some angels is in there.
So they tell me my sister took me into the hospital and this cool white boy, Dr
Schutte, cool white boy, they say had on a Laker jersey just cool as s**t. He told my sister
He's having a brain bleed that led to a stroke. Here's the thing when you dream about what you want to be in life
You don't dream tragedy
Brain bleed that led to a stroke. Yes. I gotta watch that in this full context
I mean, that's why it's important to watch things in its full context instead of just listening to clips.
But...
I watched it up beyond that point,
and he said that to this day, they still don't know
what caused the brain bleed.
That was the first thing I asked you.
I was like, what caused it?
He said to this day, they still don't know
what caused the brain bleed.
Look at you.
About the book of appointment.
Ask chat GPT first, then I'm a book of appointment.
But that's the thing, because you always want to know
what happened, what got him to
that point, right?
Yeah.
And not to say you wish bad on anything, but you just want to reason why.
Was it a car accident?
Was it a crash?
Did he hit his head?
You want to know what it was, so you can start like, blam, I had a headache for a long time.
Am I having a brain bleed?
Do I got to make an appointment?
That's just the way I think.
Okay, brain hemorrhaging.
Okay, I've heard of this before.
So sometimes it's because of trauma, like head injury.
See, that's what I was saying.
Trauma to a blood vessel, high blood pressure.
Clogged arteries is one of the reasons, right?
Yeah.
My mom went through this.
Clotting issues, yeah.
Yeah, but he said-
Substance abuse.
He said that, I guess they couldn't pinpoint it for him,
but yeah, I mean, it's really,
for what I watched so far, it's really, really good,
but it's also really funny.
He makes fun of himself.
Like he couldn't walk for a while.
It better be funny, it's a special. Yeah, but also I funny he makes fun of himself like he couldn't walk for a while It better be funny it's a special
Also I was about to cry with him he cried a lot
He cried a bunch yeah he talked about him time his time in the hospital how he wanted to quit and how the nurses were
very supportive you gotta watch it it's
It's on Netflix now. It's Netflix now. We'll watch it later. All right. Well, that is just with the mess with Lauren LaRosa
You thought I was dramatic wait till you watch it
You gonna think it's gonna take forever

But boy, she need to come to the front of the congregation.
We would like to have a word with her.
All right, we'll get to that next.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Don Quijote today with Charlamagne the guy.
I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this.
Uh, well, Duval, it's not me, it's Florida.
OK, Don Quijote today for Tuesday, December 10th,
goes to a Florida woman named Victoria Moussive.
OK, she is 33 years old and she hails from one of my favorite places in the world,
Orlando, Florida. Salute to everybody who listens to us on
104.5 to beat in Orlando drop on the clues bombs for 104.5 to beat
Orlando what's happening? What does your uncle Shala always say about the great state of Florida say it with me the craziest people in America come
From the Bronx and all of Florida and today is no exception see Victoria was stopped
of Florida and today is no exception see Victoria was stopped in Fort Lauderdale at the intersection of Livington Street and Huley Avenue because she failed to
yield the right-of-way to another vehicle so she got pulled over and when
the officer called dispatch to check on her identity they were told there was a
warrant out in Orange County for a DUI so officers did what they they do they
took her out of the vehicle a red Ford
escape okay this car was typecasted for what happens next they took her out of
her red Ford escape and bought her back to the patrol car advised her of the
warrant and that she will be put under arrest that's when Victoria decided to
make like her Ford and escape she started to resist ran back to her Ford
escape jumped in and placed it in drive. But there was a problem with that.
See, her six-year-old daughter was in the back seat.
But one of the police officers had also gotten
into the back seat of the Ford Escape
with the daughter as well.
I mean, they were taking her mother to jail,
so somebody had to be with the six-year-old.
But listen to what I just said.
Victoria found out she had a warrant for her arrest,
for DUI, and clearly she must have still been drunk
because there was a police officer in the back seat with her six-year-old. What do you think
Victoria did next? Comply to the commands to get out of the SUV, realize
there was a police officer in her back seat and just surrender? No, this is Florida.
She drove away. With the cop in the back? With the police officer in the back seat.
Where we going? Look, moms are busy nowadays.
Okay, sometimes you got to bring a cop along for carpool duty.
Alright?
Did he have a seatbelt on?
I have no idea.
You know, she wanted more community policing.
This is her way of getting it.
Alright?
Where does she think she was going with a police officer in her back seat?
In most places on the planet, a police officer in the back seat would deter you from trying
to make a getaway, but not in Florida.
Nope. Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
In Florida, you combine traffic stops, kidnapping, and a family road trip.
Okay?
Drop one of Clue's bombs for multitasking.
All right?
Not to mention, where would you be going when the officer in the backseat can just tell his
fellow officers exactly where you're going?
Okay?
This is literally the equivalent of someone sharing their uber ride status with you
In fact, this could be a new uber service called uber arrest. Why don't we have?
cops
Florida addition. They gotta be a cops Florida addition, right? I'm sure it has to be a cops
Just dedicated to Florida. This has to exist already, right?
All you got to do is attach a GoPro to every cop car in Florida and just sit back and be entertained
Please give Victoria Moussif the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's.
That's it.
What else do you need to hear?
Did you tell us? How did the ride end? She ain't gonna know damn well. All the day, yeehaw Where'd it go? I'm gonna say it
How did the ride end?
She ain't gone no damn well
She pulled over?
Yes, eventually
And she is in jail for looting police
I thought there was more to the story
I wanted to be like, oh
But the cop in the back like, boo!
And he, ahh!
You know, I wanted to hear the story
She knew the cop was there the whole time
Yeah, but since she already pulled off
And the cop was already there
Baby girl could've just like, I don't know You know, was she going straight to jail? Was she going to the police department! Yeah, but since she already pulled off and the cop was already there, baby girl could've just like, I don't know.
What, is she going straight to jail?
Is she going straight to the police department?
Like, where's she going?
No, eventually the police officer followed her
down the street.
She finally stopped at an intersection
and she was placed into custody.
That's all.
And now she faces the charge of fleeing
and eluding police.
No gang?
I mean, we could could if you want to.
I want to play a game.
If you really feel like you need to.
But sure, let's play a game of Guess What Race It Is!
Alright, a Florida woman driving an Orlando Monday
fled a traffic stop and arrest while she had the police officer
and her six-year-old daughter in the back car.
Guess What Race She Is! Envy? in arrest while she had the police officer and her six year old daughter in the back car. Guess what race she is.
Envy?
I white.
You don't want to want to play.
I'm just curious.
You don't want to play.
Now you don't know?
I don't know.
That's why I'm asking.
Why do you think she white?
I don't know.
I mean.
What the carcassity of having an office in the back seat and still feeling like you can drive off the
DUI feeling and the fact that the DUI
Is get DUI but not only that but the fact that you had a police officer in the back
He didn't beat your head in when as you were driving off kind of makes me feel like you were I would he beat
Her head to stop to pull over she's driving then she could wreck and kill us all you idiot boy. You stupid
pull over. She's driving then she could wreck and kill us all you idiot boy you stupid. You gotta stop the car. Did the baby girl in the back seats or the baby in the back seat say anything
about the baby? Well hold on Lauren a Florida woman driving in Orlando Monday fled
of traffic stopping arrest police say by hopping back in her SUV and driving off
while a police officer was in the back with her daughter. Guess what race she is
Lauren LaRosa. I think she's heroin white but no the baby in the back seat
Stop the car, please. Gotta stop the car somehow some way. I'm not gonna beat the woman in the back

You gotta get her to stop the car put the car
Six seven whatever but have been like dad somebody in the car, right?

Anthion of blackness.
Blackness has been treated as a very monolithic experience in entertainment.
If it's not a hood story, it's not a black story.
Sometimes I feel left out of that. So it's like, if there's ever a poll and they say,
oh, what are your favorite black shows? Martin is in there, or Living Single, or any of those
guys. I already know we're coming in last. But if there's ever a poll and it's just like
your favorite family shows and suddenly Martin's not in there
or whatever all of a sudden we rank really high and so it's kind of interesting in how we look at
ourselves to be quite honest even as black folks. All right well let's talk about what he said
800-585-105. I have no idea what the hell he's talking about we'll discuss. All right we'll discuss
when he does. Do you agree with Jaleel White? No. Can you say he was in Wilmington Delaware?
Lack of trauma huh he
was in Wilmington Delaware at the Wilmington library by the way when he
had this conversation most of the water in Delaware because I didn't understand
nothing he just talked about let's discuss when we come back it's the
breakfast club good morning the breakfast club
Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Juscelarius, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club, Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess if you're just joining us.
We were talking about something Jaleel White said yesterday
during an interview, and this is what he said.
Being a part of the TGIF brand sometimes makes you feel
like you don't completely belong in the pantheon
of blackness.
Blackness has been treated as a very monolithic experience
in entertainment.
If it's not a hood story, it's not a black story.
Sometimes I feel left out of that. So it's like, if story, it's not a black story. Sometimes I feel left out
of that. So it's like, if there's ever a poll and they say, oh, what are your favorite black
shows? Martin is in there, or Living Single, or any of those kinds of... I already know,
we coming in last. But if there's ever a poll and it's just like your favorite family shows,
and suddenly Martin's not in there, or whatever, all of a sudden we rank really high.
And so it's kind of interesting in how we look at ourselves to be quite honest, even
as black folks.
So we're asking what are your thoughts?
Let's start with you Lauren.
I think I put Family Matters in the legacy black shows and not just because it's like
all the shows I like aren't hood shows.
Like what happened to Living single like there's a lot of shows that aren't hood stories that they're just good black shows like it's definitely
See, it's definitely in the legacy black shows. Absolutely positively now
I will say it didn't connect to me like some of the other shows but it's definitely it's definitely a legacy show like
Different world was something that that you know was the reason why I wanted to go to university
Yeah, you know I mean Cosby show was it was so many things on the Cosby shows that was you know that I loved
And that I did with my kids and I see with my father just seeing a family on television a successful family getting money
But Family Matters, I love watching it, but it didn't connect. I can't it's hard for me to remember
episodes of Family Matters like I do different world or like I do Martin or like I do a Fresh Prince of Family Matters, like I do Different World, or like I do Martin,
or like I do Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,
or like I do the Cosby show for some reason.
I don't know why, but those shows connect more to me
than Family Matters did.
I also feel like why have this conversation now?
Because there are a lot of people who look at-
Well, his book just came out, that's fine.
But like, why bring that in?
I just, I don't know, I just, I don't see the point
in highlighting that, or maybe, you know,
we only got a clip of it
because there's so many people who look at him as like,
this is Jahlil White, this is Urkel, this is,
you know, that's a big thing for a lot of people.
He's recognized through generations,
so I was like, why would you take away from that?
Tell them that.
I would absolutely mention Family Matters
as a legacy black show.
It is a show from that golden era of 90s black TV, but
I highly disagree with what Jaleel is saying about shows having to be Hood to connect because
he knows better. He comes from the era of black excellence on TV. He mentioned Martin
and Living Single. Those shows he named weren't Hood at all. In fact, everyone on those shows
had great careers. Martin was a radio personality. Khadijah was the CEO of a magazine. Gina worked for a PR firm. Maxine Shaw was a lawyer. So I often ask myself...
Tommy didn't have no job but...
Tommy didn't have no job but I often ask myself how did we go from all the
positive black representation of the 90s to the reality TV show nonsense of the early 2000s.
And for me the reality of Family Matters is yes, I put it amongst the legacy black shows,
but I would probably rank it last among a lot of black shows
simply because it's just not as good as those other shows.
Correct.
If you're talking about Fresh Prince of Bel Air,
The Cosby Show, Martin. The Cosby Show,
Different World. Different World, yeah.
Living Single, I can't say Family Matters
is better than any of those shows.
Not at all.
So he's a friend of the room.
I know we had a conversation with him,
so y'all feel like that's just a cop out for him not wanting to admit that
they, that show just wasn't as good.
I mean, maybe what was the question?
What was the question?
Yeah, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
What was the actual question?
They asked me because, uh, let me go look.
Cause he was in Delaware.
So I mean, he might've been misled.
What was the question?
He what?
What was the question you was at?
No, what did you say before that?
I said he was in Delaware, so he might've been misled.
Bollari.
Lead you there.
Yes.
Hello. Hey, what's up, brother? What have been mislaid. Go to hell. Bilari. Need you there. Yes. Hello.
Hey, what's up, brother?
What's your thoughts?
My thoughts are, I actually think, sorry, first of all,
how y'all doing?
Y'all good?
Peace, King.
How you, brother?
Good, good, man.
Good to talk to y'all.
I think Jilil White actually got a point.
I think that we do kind of separate ourselves.
We kind of throw those shows like Fresh Prince and Martin into the same category
the ones that came a little more animated but like shows like the Cosby or
What do you call it?
Family matters. Yeah different. Well, we don't really throw those in there. That's not true. I mean
Never use the word hood to describe any of those no. No, Fresh Prince of Bel Air never said hood.
He moved away from Philly.
No, I never said hood.
I didn't say hood.
I said more animated, like those other shows that are a little more animated.
Family Matters was real animated, right?
Who was more animated than Steve Roach?
But Jaleel White used the word hood.
He said...
Oh, he said hood.
I see.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, then maybe I don't agree with him.
I don't think it's hood
You know good shows cuz we also group in on what you call girlfriends to don't we come on now
But see that's one of my favorite shows of all time, but see girlfriends was early 2000s
That was that wasn't the 90s. Jaleel White's actual cause of it's not a hood story. It's not a black story
I totally disagree with that quote. I totally disagree
It's not a black story. I totally disagree with that quote. I totally disagree But the only hood quote unquote hood story out of a lot of them you name was
Fresh Prince Will Smith leaving Philly coming there, but that wasn't a hood story
That was the only thing that was even remotely
Okay, that's not a good story
Bang bang shoot him up killer drug dealer
But it is a hood a lot
There's a lot of hood kids from the hood that had to leave to go be but that's it
That's the closest to how many kids were there?
How many kids from the hood you know got a rich ass family that they can go live with
Even especially in that even if it's not as rich
It's the nuance of I had to leave my neighborhood
I had like that that's not a hood story though. That is that's a hood that is not
Not the hood.
There was nothing hood about the Freshman Bella.
The overarching storyline of having to be the hood.
That's the only thing that's remotely a little bit
but outside of that, none of those other ones a hood.
That's not hood.
Not even close.
The Freshman Bella ain't hood.
Nope.
Hello, who's this?
Hello.
Hey, what's your name bro?
This Rico.
Rico, what's up?
Talk to us, what's your thoughts?
What up?
I think it's not really our fault.
Over the years, I think we've been programmed
to relate more to the hood stories
rather than like the ordinary family stories and struggles.
I think we missing something per usual.
What?
Let's talk about context.
Jaleel White was talking about family matters in the 90s.
Compared to those other sitcoms that were on,
these sitcoms were not hood.
Fresh Prince was not hood, Martin was not hood,
Living Single was not hood, Different World was not hood,
Cosby Show was not hood.
I understand, let's keep him in the context
of the time he's talking about y'all,
and what was on TV, not now, in this era.
Well, let's listen to what he had to say we'll take your calls when we come back all right
what's your thoughts 800-585-1051 is the Breakfast Club good morning
if y'all talking about it you know we talking about it it's topic time call
800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Nagawe.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now if you're just joining us, Lauren LaRosa is filling in for Jess.
And we were playing an interview that Jaleel White did out in Delaware. Let's listen.
Being a part of the TGIF brand sometimes makes you feel like you don't completely belong
in the pantheon of blackness. Blackness has been treated as a very monolithic experience
in entertainment. If it's not a hood story, it's not a black story. Sometimes I feel left
out of that.
So it's like, if there's ever a poll and they say, oh, what are your favorite black shows?
Martin is in there, Living Single or any of those guys,
I already know, we coming in last.
But if there's ever a poll and it's just like
your favorite family shows and suddenly Martin's not in there
or whatever, all of a sudden we rank really high.
And so it's kind of interesting in how we look at ourselves
to be quite honest honest even as black folks
All right. Yeah, the more I hear the more I really disagree, you know, cuz cuz he said if it's not a hood story
It's not a black story and and and I guess what would I really disagree with is he came up in an era
Where there was so much black excellence on TV
Like we talked about Fresh Prince and Martin and Living Single and Different World and Cosby.
But what about stuff like Rock?
Rock was just a hardworking garbage man.
You know what I mean?
Think about stuff like The Parenthood.
In The Parenthood, the lead of that show
was like a black English professor.
So those shows weren't centered around hood stuff.
Like, you know what I mean?
So I don't, I didn't, I highly disagree with what he says.
You know, a black story is a hood story.
A hood story is a black story. That's how he worded it. All right right, let's go to the phone. So you got Lamar Lamar. Good morning
Hello, hey, what's your thoughts brother? Oh good. I'm just chillin. How you doing? Good. Good. Good. What you think? What's your thoughts?
I'm riding in the car man all the way from Detroit Michigan, man
What is happening brothers? What you think? I'm good man. Can't complain. She boy Lamar man all the way from Detroit
We don't we don't want What's happening, brothers? What you think? I'm good, man. Can't complain. She boy Lamar, man, all the way from Detroit.
We don't want Lamar.
Lamar, Lamar.
I can't take it anymore.
No, hang up on him.
Why you hang up on him?
I can't take it anymore.
I asked him six times.
Give him a minute.
Give him a minute.
People give you a minute.
We know you slow.
No, I'm not slow.
And watch your mouth, because there's
a lot of people out there that are slow that probably
found that offended.
And you one of them.
And if y'all offended, you got this now.
They probably found that what?
I mean, they probably found that offensive.
Right, no, yeah, yeah.
Probably found out they offended.
Probably found out they offended.
Probably found out they offended. Probably found out they're offensive. Probably found out they're offensive.
Yeah, that's why we call you slow right there.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this Tyler from Atlanta, Georgia.
Hey Tyler. You better get Tyler you feel
real quick because Envy is froggy this morning.
What's your opinion Tyler?
My opinion is I want to know where Jahlil got this
idea that all those shows are hood.
Because from my understanding, Family Matters
was based out of Chicago.
One of the huddest places in America.
But it was still a middle-class family.
I mean, so was Martin.
Gene was an executive.
Martin worked at a radio station.
That's right.
You know, living single.
Queen Latifah owned a magazine store,
or everything, you know.
Maxine was a lawyer.
Maxine Shaw, attorney at law.
Exactly.
Exactly. So where did this hood mentality for the shows come from? I have no idea. Maxine was a lawyer, Maxine Shaw attorney at law. Exactly, exactly.
So where did this hood mentality for the shows come from?
I have no idea.
Maybe he mixed those in and didn't mean to or something.
Maybe he just meant like in general at that time.
Okay, I don't know.
It doesn't make sense.
And how you couldn't have meant in that time.
Exactly, that time it was Black Excellence.
Every 90s person that comes up here,
I asked them the same question.
What happened in Hollywood that there was a shift Every 90s person that comes up here, I asked him the same question.
What happened in Hollywood that there was a shift from that type of representation,
right?
And the way the characters, the way they were depicted to just the 2000 reality show nothingness
era.
But you know, I was thinking, well, maybe movies, but there was, there was a little
bit of everything in the movie world during that time, right?
Because you had Love and Basketball, you had Menace the Society little bit of everything in the movie world during that time right because you had love and basketball you had menace to society you
had boys in the hood but then you had you had a little bit of both but y'all
gotta remember movies like menace to society and boys in the hood juice they
served a purpose they were showing us the consequences of street life
yeah Brown Sugar was early 2000 yeah hello Hello, who's this? Hello, who's this?
This is Yogi.
Hey, Yogi, what's your thoughts?
Happy Tuesday.
Good morning.
I think that Jilil White been wearing the suspenders
and the tight pants for a little bit too long
because he's stripping.
Family Matters is definitely black.
One thing I like about you, Envy, is that little,
you know them shows and the little theme songs
you be playing. That represents like that. Well, yeah, them shows and know the little theme songs you'll be playing.
That represents Black men.
Well, yeah, I'm not supposed to be hearing those theme songs, but alright.
I mean, would you show how Black we are? And that's not a monolith.
Right.
Like, all the different shows and how Black we are, there's so many different things in that collective.
That's right. Where you calling from?
Oh, I'm a New Yorker, but I'm trapped in North Carolina.
I know Carolina. What station were you trapped in North Carolina. I know Carolina
What station we on in North Carolina? Are you listening us on the I Heart radio app?
Oh, I listen to you guys on I Heart because none of these radio stations we working to have y'all out. Got you. Got you. Got you
Okay
The moral of the story is You hear the TV theme song, go to sleep during commercials. That's why. If you're hearing the TV theme song, you're not supposed to, like we, anyway. But, you know, but.
What's the moral?
The moral of the story is,
hood does not equate to black.
Okay, and black definitely does not equate to hood.
All right, black people are not monolithic
in any way, shape, or form,
and that's why I love the 90s so much,
because if you watched any show on the 90s,
it made you want to do something with your life.
Like I said, we always talk about Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
and Martin and Living Single Cosby Show,
Different World, what about shows like Rock?
Rock was a garbage man, you know?
Like The Parenthood, the guy was a black English professor.
On Fairly Matters, Carl Winslow was a cop!
Right.
So, you know, I don't know.
All right, well we got Jess with the mess coming up,
what are we talking about, Lauren?
We do, speaking of, Chris Rock. Chris Rock recently walked off stage during a comedy show.
And we're gonna get into it. Reportedly.
Will Smith was an audience?
Shut up. We'll get into it next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
I would've walked off too.
Morning everybody. We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get to Jess with the men's football team on Jev Bop.
What?
This is real weather.
This is Lawrence, Jessica, Robby Moore.
Jess don't do no lying.
She don't spell nobody.
Rowe Y Jess, Rowe Y Matt.
On the Breakfast Club.
She's a coacheship.
With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa.
I'm back.
And I got the man.
Talk to me.
You ain't low low. What did you say about my freshly picked man? Breakfast club the coacheship
What did you say about my freshly freshly cut
Like I ain't sure grab that cover that weapon out. Yeah a weapon. Uh-huh
Yeah Don't play with me or the bobby on okay
Don't play with me or the Bobby on, okay? Dang, the Bobby reminded me of his business.
All right, all right, all right.
Let's focus, let's focus.
All right.
Trying to make it bounce.
It has no athleticism.
All right, y'all.
Chris Rock.
So Chris Rock walked off stage reportedly recently.
So there was a journalist from the New York Post in the audience who was reporting that Chris Rock
was performing a set at a billionaire's Christmas party. The billionaire is Anthony Pratt. And
this was a surprise. So he came on as a surprise. He started doing the set. And then some way
through the set, he looks in the audience and he saw something that made him upset.
And he got upset. He's like, he shouted that he wasn't supposed to be taped, videoed, reported.
Or what? He was shouting something, y'all. Basically, he was shouting that he wasn't supposed to be taped, videoed, reported, or what?
He was shouting something, y'all.
Basically, he was shouting that he wasn't supposed to be videotaped at the time.
So after he shouted that, he walked off stage and he didn't come back in.
Don't know who was videotaping him, but he was not happy about it.
He's not wrong.
Right.
Now, a lot of these reports are picking up.
That's if they told the people that was in there, it was a private event.
Aren't you supposed to do that though?
They don't do that in those small private like, they actually should take your phones,
especially for comedians, the statue of Chris Rocker.
He's probably in there working on new materials and he's about to get $20
million for from some streaming platform.
So it's like, yo, that's his bread and butter.
Like, no, I don't want you recording my material and you get in trouble like
that because people are record you while you working things out.
Next thing you know, that clips online and then it says, depending what the context is, you might say, yeah, man, like, no, don't play with me like that because people record you while you working things out. Next thing you know that clips online and it's depending what the context is.
Yeah man, don't play with me like that.
But here's the thing though, it's a Christmas party and it's a surprise.
So how do you just take people's phones and how do you explain that?
That's what I was saying, if it's a private event and he was a surprise, how do you know?
How do you explain it?
Unless they said no taping beforehand before he got out, you know something like that.
Maybe, possibly that.
But if it was a surprise.
Exactly, Chris Rock is a very cerebral person.
If he reacted like that
Then that means that there was something in place where they weren't supposed to be recorded
Gotcha now these reports have picked up of course and his brother Tony Rock was going through the airport and ran into TMZ
let's take a listen probably thought because my brother was performing at a
Shindig for some I'm guessing some big wig. Yeah. Yeah
I'm guessing it's some big wig in Australia. Yeah.
Since he was invited to the party,
he was entitled to take the set.
Everybody that does that in the comedy club is a f***ing a**.
We're working on material all the time.
So if you record it, and you put it up
before the joke is conducted, it's
like a chef giving you a plate of food before it's finished.
You should wait for the finished product.
Right, right, right.
But that guy probably felt entitled
because he's a piece of s***.
So I'm going to record the set because I'm at this party.
I was invited and you're performing here so of course they're always gonna separate the talent.
Especially when it's black and white they're gonna think they're entitled to just do whatever they wanna do
because you're black and you're working there so you can just record.
That is the perfect analogy Tony used.
It's like a chef giving you a plate of food and the food ain't finished yet.
It's not properly cooked. Yeah but sometimes if the you know, the chef is good, you're so excited. You just want to
Don't you just want to taste it? They made a statement don't tape don't take
Respect the art of comedy comedy is an art form respect it
That's why Dave Chappelle takes your phone when you go to his show. He will take it your phones. He's not playing with you
Yeah
I don't understand why people don't understand that like Like, I enjoy being in the moment in a comedy show
because there's so much going on too.
Like, they start making jokes about people in the audience,
the lighting, whatever.
It takes you getting thrown out one time for the understand.
Yeah, the reality is we don't respect
the art of stand-up comedy no more.
We don't respect the art of comedy, period.
I don't think so.
I don't think people do.
I don't know about respect.
I don't even think y'all know what's funny.
Who's y'all?
I don't like that when you try, who's y'all y'all know what's funny Who's y'all? I don't like that when you try we
What you about to say who is y'all don't say y'all cuz how do you know what?
I'm talking to millions of people so y'all gonna apply to somebody
Cuz you in the room cuz y'all mean I don't like it when I'm y'all
What huh nothing continue I would say with the y'all over there, but it's not much over there continue on long just ignore
I will just thank you. I'm gonna talk directly to you. Thank you because I don't think that he even knows what's funny
It'd be definitely a y'all
Y'all a lot of y'all that apply. Don't yell me. You don't know what identify exactly. Okay, so now offset back in the high seat again
Or maybe not. Yeah, y'all go y'all always putting
I don't know what it is about saying y'all the black people. Don't do that to me. All right, so basically, offset, there was a video that went viral of him online. He was sitting in what she was sitting, he was standing, he was talking to a model, very famous model. Her name is Anouk Yahi. Now, she's sitting in the car, he's standing up and he turns around, there's a camera behind him. And when the video went viral, people were like,
oh my God, offsets with this new girl.
He didn't-
Yeah, but y'all ain't hear what he said.
He turned around and said, look, we're praying.
Please don't interrupt us.
Yes.
Can I get to y'all folks over there?
When did he say that?
You've been rude.
In the video, he turned around, he was like, I'm praying.
Y'all are bothering us right now.
Okay. Okay.
Cause y'all over there lying.
That's not what happened.
What happened?
So anyway, he turns around or whatever
and people were saying that he looked kind of startled,
like he didn't know the video was happening.
Now, Envy, I know that's your guy.
This is the moment right here
that got the people going crazy.
Can you please explain this?
That's a prayer.
A prayer?
I know damn prayer.
He's not even like, they're not even touching and agreeing.
You gotta touch to pray?
No.
If it's a soulful prayer.
No.
I see, and this is why I hate people, because y'all be just making something out of nothing.
Y'all.
What is that then?
He was doing a video.
It was a video shoot.
It was just a video shoot.
It was a video shoot that they were shooting downtown Brooklyn.
And how do you know this?
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Because I used my cars.
They used my cars for the video shoot.
So that's how I know it was a video shoot.
Got you, got you, got you, got you, got you, got you.
And the young lady was the model.
She was the lead model in the video. Got you. But it still seemed like they praying before the video
Let's pray we have a good shoot. That's guy math right there
Y'all love a guy math don't you?
But not in their prayer I saw in this video you just if you just so much your question though
And their prayer I saw in this video, you just, you just. So let me ask you a question though.
Envy just told us a video shoot,
but every time a man and a woman are out and about,
it gotta be something romantic?
I don't think so, but because it's all set
and people like to throw different girls on him
and stuff like that, I think anything with him
and another woman always goes.
Cause there was a time that he was standing next to
the Latin pop star girl, remember that?
And people were like, oh my God, he's dating her.
He wasn't dating her either. They just happened to take a picture because Aina Wintour
invited them somewhere but yes.
Y'all be lying.
What's that?
This is the video shoot Envy has the photos behind the scenes so we are debunking the
story.
Well don't say that I was not supposed to edit the photos but yes this is it.
Why would you show.
I was just showing you but I'm just showing you the truth it's a video shoot.
Y'all on this side are idiots why would you show me that during a live report.
Did I just say that four minutes ago? I said when you turned to look at him what did I say? I said there's a lot of y'all on this side are idiots. Why would you show me that during a live report if you didn't want me?
Didn't I just tell you that four minutes ago? I said when you turned to look at him, what did I say?
I said there's a lot of y'all over there. Yeah, y'all over there. See? See?
Okay, well, you know, hearing it here first, debunking that rumor, offset is not dating her, that was a video shoot.
Say the prayer to get him out of here. Amen. Y'all, now y'all don't know the prayer. You don't know how to pray.
I don't know what prayer they was doing. Oh with doing okay I was praying for a good video shoot
None of your cars got scratched, please. Let's pray. Please. Let's hope none of the envy car
He loved to sue
Please let's pray that we don't damage
