Come to the mic, Mimi. Need somebody to talk to my co-host in here. How are you feeling, Mimi? I'm good. trying to get used to this East Coast time, but I'm good. How you doing? I'm doing pretty good. So salute to everybody that has been checking in. I mean, everybody that has been flying has been hitting me on a DM to tell me how each and every airport is. They've been telling me that the delays have been a lot, say, at least two hours.

So if you're flying, give yourself a lot of extra time. And it doesn't look like there's going to be any change in a while, right? No, we're going to talk about that this morning. Even with ice, it's still backed up real crazy at like almost all of the major airports. Now, was ice? Well, I guess we'll ask because I'll ask. I wonder if is ICE really helping TSA or are they just trying to keep people in order? Because if they're just trying to keep people in order, they just make it absolutely positively worse.

Exactly. You've seen the pictures, right, of ICE just kind of standing around. Just standing around, just walking around. It doesn't seem like they're actually helping. It doesn't seem like they're checking IDs in line. It just seems like they're actually adding more of a mess to the airports. Exactly. So that's what we're going to talk about a little bit this morning. I feel like ICE is just there to be there. I don't know. They're actually helping out with what we're seeing with the long lines and all of that. So I don't know. You're right. Give yourself some extra time if you are heading out this morning because it is just, it's nasty.

That's right. We'll get more into that in front page news. Also, Clarissa Shields will be joining us this morning. Two-time Gold Olympic medalist and champion will be joining us. She got a lot to talk about. She wants to clear up everything that you've been hearing about in the last couple of weeks. So Clarissa Shields will be joining us. And she don't be here every day like people think she does.

Who, what you mean? Clarissa Shield. No, no, no. She don't be here every day. She just left. She was up here 10 months ago. Yeah, she was up here a while ago. So she's coming up here to clear up some things and tell us what she's working on in the next couple of months as far as a boxing career.

All right. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Hey, you don't touch me. Jesus Christ. Today is Big Sean's birthday. So let's start off with some Big Sean. I don't F with you.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Front page news is next, y'all. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Jess Salarious. Salamee, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. Start up with some quick sports. Today is a baseball. Baseball is starting it. It's opening day. And I just want to let you know, all you Yankee fans, if you want to see opening day today, you can only see it on Netflix. So the Yankees are on Netflix today.

So if you want to watch Yankees today, you are on Netflix today. They're playing San Francisco. So you can only watch it on Netflix. That's interesting. I didn't know that. Who had the TV rights before? I'm not sure. You've got to be a station in New York. Was it the Yes Network?

Yeah, Yankees are yes. It was a Yes Network. but today you can watch it on Netflix. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, Mee, Jash Alamein. How y'alleman? How y'all doing this morning? Good morning. So we start this morning with the shutdown standoff in Washington.

That's where lawmakers say progress is being made, but the president says he's not committed to a deal just yet. So Senate Republicans, they are proposing a plan to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security. About 94% of it that would fund agencies like TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, which would help end the shutdown for most work. workers. Now, this plan does not include ICE funding because ICE was already funded in the big beautiful bill last year. And this is what Democrats have been asking for to fund the rest of Homeland Security separately, but now say if they agree, they also want changes and reforms

to ICE included in the negotiations. Now, Trump is acknowledging that lawmakers are getting close to a deal, but he's giving no indication of whether he would sign that bill. Let's listen. Well, I don't want to comment until I see the deal, but as you know, they're negotiating a deal. I guess they're getting fairly close, but I think any deal they make, I'm pretty much not happy with it. So at the same time, yeah, we'll see what happens with that. But at the same time, Trump is also pushing for a completely separate bill. We've been talking about the SAVE Act, which would change voting laws. And as he has suggested, that bill would be tied to the shutdown fight as well.

But there's a lot of pushback from Democrats on the SAVE Act Act and what that would mean for our elections. Here's Senator Jeff Merkley on that. It's not about stopping non-citizens from voting. It's about stopping citizens from voting. The citizens Trump doesn't want to cast a ballot. Trump is going to push this as hard as he can because this is the best strategy to rig the November election. It's the third point which says all of your voter rolls will be submitted to the president. Then the president's team can proceed, run it through a process where they will say,

hey, folks whose last name are different in their birth certificate, you have to re-register. to vote. Folks who fit this category, your name's replicated, you're kicked off. And you could do that right before the election. You can't register to vote under this law with just a birth certificate. You have a birth certificate and another piece of ID. The only thing that stands on its own is a passport. Most Americans don't have passports. And getting one takes six months. So if he proceeds to have this power before the November election, tons of people will never be able to re-register. It's just that simple. All of this is the rigged the midterms. Who was that man speaking quite plain just now?

That was Jeff Merkley of Oregon. Drop on the clues bones for Jeff Merkley. Merkie. Merkey. Mercury. Every time I think of Oregon, I think of Oregon Trail, so it holds a nice soft spot in my heart. Okay, remember Oregon Trail growing up playing in school? Y'all never did that?

No. Killing Buffaloes and stuff like that? No. Oh, y'all didn't have a childhood. Man. Killing Buffalo? I have no idea what you're talking about. None of y'all played Oregon Trail?

No. No. Boy, wow. He grew up on a dirt roads. No, I have none to do it at dirt road. People out there know what I'm talking about. If you played Oregon Trail, call up right now. Killing Buffaloes?

Yes, you had to kill Buffaloes. What else you had to do on Oregon Trail? I've heard of it, but I never played. We did basketball, baseball, scully. Yeah, like, you know, regular stuff. Regular stuff. But Oregon Trail was in the library, and y'all didn't read, so I understand. Shut up.

I did read before when I was young. Come on, maybe. What else was going? Okay. Right. Nobody, but, yo, the whole world stopped this now. Anyway, nobody believed that. Shut up.

That's crazy. That's crazy. You guys, long lines, they persist at airport. reports nationwide, even with ICE agents now helping TSA. So thousands of TSA officers, they are still calling out sick. They're quitting after weeks without pay. Travelers are waiting in long lines just to get through security. And now the shutdown is prompting a major move from one airline.

So Delta Airlines says it is suspending special airport services for members of Congress and their staff because of this shutdown. So that includes things like airport escorts, special assistant services that help lawmakers move through the airport more quickly. Delta says because TSA agents are working without pay, staffing is stretched. The airline needs to focus its resources on safety and its regular passengers.

I respect that. What? Yeah, so if you work for Congress and their staff, you don't longer... You don't listen. I just want to make sure. That's literally the first thing she said. I didn't need that part.

You don't hear that. Because everybody I see in a lot of airports, they already took away the pre-checks. They took away the touchless. They took away clear and all that. And this is just Delta Airlines. So maybe other airlines will follow behind them. But right now this is just Delta Airlines.

You have to get in line like everyone else if you were a member of Congress right now. And I think all airlines should do that because they should have to feel it just like everyday working class people got to feel it. I feel, I agree. Absolutely, I agree. Yeah. And lastly, really quick, if you're thinking about helping TSA workers with a shutdown, you can donate a gift card, but it has to be specific. It has to be a gas card or food card. They cannot accept Visa or MasterCards.

Most airports will have a drop box, but you have to ask a supervisor or an airport staff if you don't see one. You cannot give it directly to a TSA agent. they are federal workers and they're not allowed to take them. I did see yesterday a spot in Philly. They were doing like a Philly cheese steak, Guinness Book of World Records. And you had to either donate the food or eat the food for the amount of people that were there,

and they donated like over a thousand Philly cheese steaks to the TSA workers, so I thought that was dope. I also saw Duran's chef. I don't know if he's from New York or not, but he was at the LaGuardia airport and he fed the TSA workers. He sent them like so many boxes of pizza. Like they let him come in there and feed them.

That's dope. I think that was cutting slices. They're my triven. A Duranchef? If he works there, then that's what that is. But he bought that. He did. He teamed up a cut and slices. Okay. Shout out to them.

That was good. That was nice. Wow. All right. Well, that is front page news. What we got next hour, Mimi? Coming up next hour, we have a verdict in those social media cases that we've been talking about. Those landmark social media cases, one out of New Mexico and one out of Los Angeles.

We'll talk about it. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-105. One. If you need the vent, phone lines are wide open. Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-105-1. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This Spider-Man 803, Columbia, South Carolina. Spider-Man, Metro, what's happening? What's happening, man?

You know, I'm telling me what's good, baby. You know, I played Oregon Trail, baby. I don't know who did it. I thought everybody played Oregon Trail growing up. You know that up north and places they went to, they think they're faster than us, but they wouldn't. Very slow. I agree.

I think it's a old thing. We ain't never heard of it. Well, I never heard of it. On Oregon Trail, you used to have to kill your food. Yep. It's like an Amish family, and they're going across the desert, and they're pulling a, pulling a, what's the car? It's a wagon.

Yeah, they was on a wagon. Yep. No, I didn't play no Oregon Trail. You lose your will, you got the kid. You got to fix your wheel. Yep, yep. I wanted to go to elementary. Listen, I wanted to go to elementary.

elementary school just to play on that old computer play the Oregon Trail. Yeah. We played double, you play double dribble. We play more physical games. Yeah, but that's why you don't know nothing. See, in Oregon Trail, right?

Like, you had to travel across, across, like, these states, and, like, people would catch diseases, and you would have to get medicine form. Your wheel would broke, and you would have to figure out what to do when your wheel breaks. You have to kill your own food.

It was an Amish family. It was like an Amish family, and they were traveling across the United States. Yep. Nah, we didn't play that one, but thank you, brother. We definitely didn't play that game. Hey, I don't know.

Oregon Trail was huge. Maybe it just wasn't in my school. But I'm looking at it came out in 2011, right? That's what it said, 2011? Hell no. He was going to be 17th. This is initial release date, February 22nd, 2011. This game came out in the 70s.

Bro. Yeah. Hello, who's this? Hey, this boy, Colin's through the Lutter. What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Hey, y'all, y'all, you know, I heard Charlott men guys talk about Horatrell. Classic.

Classic. I can't believe they never played. played Oregon Trail. And the Oregon Trail is actually a real thing. They call it the nation's longest graveyard. Like 65,000 people died along this trail because of disease and all types of stuff like that. You see nobody on the East Coast played it. Red never played it. Red never heard of it. I never played it. And there's only two people in the room from the East Coast. There's three. There's three. Can you count? Can you count? There's three. How many people on the East Coast, N.V.? Me, Jess, and Red. That's it. On the whole East Coast.

No, I mean, in the room I'm talking about. No, you said nobody on the East Coast played it. I hate you, niggas. This is why we've got to have a little bit of deep part. No. Oh, my God. Just a little. I'm from here, sir. I'm from here, sir.

Yeah, take a deep breath. We didn't play Oregon Trail. He said nobody on the East Coast. I'm at any Oregon Trail. I don't play an Oregon Trail. I never heard of Oregon Trail. He said nobody on the whole. As if the South ain't the East Coast.

This is crazy. This is crazy. I look at the South as the South. I look at the South as New York, New Jersey. This is why you needed Oregon Trail in your school. And D.C. That's how I would. That's how I look at it.

Virginia right there. Virginia's where the south starts. Maryland is kind of south. That's how we always said. I'm not going to talk to you. It's funny. Somebody says here and somebody's like, yo, you know, we're on the East Coast.

I'm like, we don't look at it like that. We look at the East Coasters. New York, New Jersey, Philly, Maryland, and Boone. Connecticut, Boston, exactly. You know, yeah. That's how we always looked at it. But get it off your chest.

800-5-85-105-105. If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Shal-Mat. Kenvi, what up? Are we live?

With these uncoachers, swine, I work with. I never played Oregon. Talk to me about Oregon Trail, sir. Envy, you should be old. You should definitely remember that joint, man. Remember when the wagon would break down? You had to fix that joint? No.

Envy told a 41-year-old yesterday that they're going to give somebody worms. He refused to believe he 48 plus. I was joking yesterday, but no, we didn't play. We didn't play Oregon Trail. We just didn't. Yeah. Y'all wildly. Yeah, used to be on the original, the OG, the Macs, the Big Mac computers.

That and what was the other game? Carmen San Diego. Oh, my God. Where in the world is Carmen San Diego. I forgot. That game taught you about world geography. Yes. I feel like my age, it was probably already gone.

So I'm not. Yeah. I didn't really play games on the Mac. I played on Atari, Colico, Nintendo. Yeah. All that. I didn't play no games on the Mac. These were educational games, though.

The game, you're talking about recreational. These were games they actually played, they gave you in school. Oh, no. Carmen, San Diego, yes. They may have been gone under the curriculum when I got to school. You should know. If your school had the library with the computers, yeah, that was the type of time we were. Word.

Yeah. And I'll be blessed, though, man. Yes, sir. We didn't. Damn, and he was in the Midwest, so it was not just a southern thing. Salute to Miss Nicole Bavard. I love her to death. She was the school librarian at Berkeley High School.

So we were sitting there playing Oregon Trail. Okay. Hello, who's this? Hey, this love. What's up? What's up? What are you calling from? I'm calling from.

Columbia, but I'm from New York. Okay. 803, Metro. Good morning. Yes, yes, yes. And guess what? I got all three nights, the J-B concert. Did you?

Damn, girl. I'm interested to see what he do on the third night. He's calling an extra in-in, so I'm interested to see what he do. I'm not going to be there for the third night, though. I'm doing the first two nights. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I went to call it, talk about Oregon Trail. Talk to me about Oregon Trail.

Y'all don't remember playing Oregon Trail, and you died of Dictionary? Yes, you died of mad diseases because on the real Oregon Trail, it was like 30 to 60,000 people who died of mad diseases. That's literally what the game was about. What part of New York are you from? You had to survive. What kind of game was it? You had to have grown up in the 80s to know about origin him. Embby grew up in the 60s. I did not grow up in the goddamn 60s. What you said? You did mixtapes on actual tapes.

Yo, what, what borough are you from, man? I'm from Brooklyn. Oh, y'all played it in Brooklyn? I didn't, I never played it. I mean, honestly, Brooklyn people have always been the smartest people from New York City to me, so that makes sense. I don't think so. This is true. This is true. And be from Queens. Sam from Queens.

Dang, she had to put it out for days. Yeah, we had to play Oregon Trail. I'm sorry, I'm all right. I didn't. Yeah, I have a good one, you know. You too. You too. And on the Oregon Trail, the animals were more dangerous than the people.

And that's why you had to kill the ox tail because you would have food. That's how you get food. What kind of game was it though? Everybody was catching diseases dying. It was a game based off real life. In the real life Oregon Trail, people died. So many people died on that route.

So the game was literally about trying to make it through that route without dying. Oh, God. What about the people in Oregon who is probably upset that it's a game made after their life like that, like dying? I don't know. You said, I don't care. It's a game. And we played it.

It was educational. Okay. Okay. Nice. All right, well, salute to all you guys. Get it off your chest, 800, 585. I just want you to, hey, hey, hey, I want you to know. All those people that called in are from the East Coast.

I want you to know that. Okay. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'll be correct. You didn't play where in the world in San Diego because you don't even know your geography. I never played Oregon Trail.

I'm sorry. We just never played. Boo you to my teachers. All right. I'm sorry. Right. Jesus. We didn't have a library of computers.

Sorry, I didn't know. Y'all have a library of computers? What the hell? Nah, we didn't have that computers like that. No. Oh, boy, shut up. Now, see, you remember how your mama called you the other day when you made that comment about that was true?

We didn't have that. Y'all didn't have computers like that. You just said we didn't have computers like that. Did you hear me say like that? Did you hear me say like that? You said we had computers in this morning. Did you just trying to scratch me out this morning. I know what this is.

I'm like, don't falling for it. I should be falling for this. I'm a brief. I'm just going to brief. I'm just going to brief. When we come back, we got the latest with Lauren. Breakfast Club, good morning. Hey, bring your talk, LL. Cube.

I swear yo Jesus But she overslept She'll be here Happens in morning really Yeah it does So Lauren set me some stories to do So we start off with Jayzy

First we got to By the way, let the record show. We don't need Lauren to talk about Jay-V. I've got this. So salute to Jay-Z yesterday. He sold out three shows at Yankee Stadium. In seconds. In seconds.

The first two shows, and then he added an extra show called, I guess, extra innings, and that sold out just as fast. Now, according to a source, Lauren told me, there was $1.2 million in the queue trying to find Jay-Z tickets. They said it's the biggest cue that Live Nation has ever seen for a show. day before it was 1.6 million. And by the way, why does Lauren need a source for that? The source is the 1.6 million

people that were in the queue. Yeah, that's crazy. You can see that for yourself. And what's the capacity of the Yankee Stadium? I don't know, but I know 1.2, 1.6 million people, you can do like 40 shows. Yeah, yeah. What is the capacity again? 46,000. Yeah, 40,000. They got to take off some seats because the way the stage will be.

Oh, okay. There's still a lot of damn people. 40, yeah. 40,000 people. And he'll, I think he'll add another show. Yeah. So many people want to see Hope. I don't see why not. I mean, that's a hell of a weekend, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I mean, the reason I respect this so much, because I hold is Jay-D,

50-57, 58 years old? 56 years old. We've never seen this in hip-hop. Like, we've seen it in so many other genres. You see the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen and, you know, all their veteran artists can go out there and sell these stadiums. We haven't seen this in our culture yet. It's the first of its kind.

When was the last time he actually did a headlining show, his own stuff? Not collaborating with his wife on tour. But like his self. I don't remember. A long time ago. Wow. Maybe the 4-4-4-4-to. No, it definitely had to be the 4-4-4-to.

That was like what, 2017, 2017? Yeah, so you all looking forward to this. Yeah, like 9, 10 years ago. Yeah, salute to Hope. He also did an interview with GQ, and he got really open. He talked about a lot of things if you haven't seen the interview. One of the biggest things or the first thing he discussed was about his allegations in all of 2025 and how that put him in a place.

How would you rate your 2025? was hard. Like, I was really heartbroken by, like, everything that occurred. We're in the space now where it's just, like, almost like consequence is not thought about enough. That whole Busby, this is a lawsuit that was dropped, dismissed. That's a lot out of it. I was angry. I haven't been that angry in a long time. Like, if you don't put that on someone, that's the thing that you better be super sure. Like, even when we were doing the worst things, we were doing bad. We had those kind of rules. There was a line. No women, no kids. You know, you hear those sayings, but those are things that I took from the street. Morals, integrity. I took that really hard.

And I knew that we was going to walk through that because, you know, first of all, it's not true. And the truth is, at the end of the day, it still reigns supreme. It was just like, all right, man, we played enough defense. 2026 is all offense. You know, and listening to Jay with that, you know, you hear how angry he was, how upset he was. right and you gotta think i know a lot of people have been attacking jay in the last year which is crazy to me last couple years really but do you really look back at some of the things that he's done for the culture and not just the the bottles and the this and that but like how he's bailed people out how he's giving money for so many things how he's he's gotten people out of jail how he's giving

back and then he gets attacked philanthropy the fact that he still is willing to help it it means a lot he also talks about who helped him during this time yeah i needed the people around me more than ever because usually when I have that feeling I would just make music and just be therapeutic. I had to sit in that for a long time. And luckily I had that. I built this this circle that's really safe for me of people that really love me, not using me, and like really care for my best interest. You know, when those type of things happen, people run. They don't care what happened. So I have partners, you know, I've had big deals with, I called my guy from LVMage, hey man, this is coming and I can't take a settlement. It ain't.

in my DNA. First I had to tell my wife, do I know what this is going to, the weight that this is going to bring on our family? I can't do it. I would die. It would have been cheaper, yes. Cheaper, quicker, move on with your life. It was like a testament because people know me. Not only we're standing by you, what do you need? What did you do to come back from that personally? I'm still dealing with that. Listen, man, his honesty about the adversity he faced was powerful, you know, But the most powerful thing about it to me was that he accepted it all. He embraced it all. You know, he said, you know, things don't happen to you.

They happen for you. And I think we don't understand that about life sometimes. Sometimes in life we just want all of the good, right? And we only want to, you know, praise God and, you know, embrace the good. But no, you got to embrace it all. Like when you look up to, when you tell God you want everything, everything that you pray for, you got to take everything that comes with it. But when you're in it, that feeling feels like.

Yeah. This is some ish. Yeah. That feeling. Now, he also talks about the Super Bowl and the reason why Jay-Z picked Kendrick Lamar for the Super Bowl that year. People made it a personal thing that you chose Kendrick for the Super Bowl. It's like, oh, man, he's choosing the side. What do I have to do with that? I chose the guy that was having a monster year. I think it was the right choice. Word. What I care about them two guys battling. Like, what's I got to do with me? Or have it. Not on just me, by the way. They drag everybody in it. Like, everyone's part of this. this conspiracy to undermine Drake, I guess. But, like, don't f*** Jay-Z.

Or do respect him. I'm going to go. Like, for what? To what end? Yeah. It couldn't be like these guys just don't like each other. Yeah. And I think they haven't liked each other for a long time.

Yeah. I like that. He's, I'm Jay-Z. What do I care about it? He also talks about beef and is beef good for hip-hop, right? Is it a thing that flourishes in hip-hop? When you say beef, I don't know what you. talking about you know what I'm saying they say battling it's battling good for hip hop because I

know you think beef is good for hip hop don't you know what audio we love the excitement and I love the sparring and the music you get but in this day and age it's so much negative stuff that comes with it they almost wish it didn't happen it's almost like it's a final thing now people that like kindrick hate Drake no matter what he makes and it goes far too it's like attack on his character and it's like I don't know if I love that yeah I don't know if it's helpful to our growth. It's like bringing people kids in it. I don't like that. You know, I sound like the old guy, Wagner thing. I think we can achieve the same thing as far as like sparring with music, with collaborations more so than breaking the whole thing apart. It could stand it before because there was no social media and there was no thing and, you know, you had the battle. It was fun and then you moved on.

It was like trying to tear down people's life. Again, I love the idea that we got so much music and such. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember, 988, Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline. It's good to know, just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 Suicide Crisis Helpline is funded by the government in Canada.

I became a millionaire overnight, but lost everything that actually mattered. Wait a minute, Sophia. Did you just say he lost everything? That's right. It's inheriting too much drama week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, I just inherited a fortune after losing my mom, and now my girlfriend's entire family is coming out of nowhere with their hands out.

One sibling wants me to fund their whole lifestyle. Another vanished for four years and suddenly reappeared. And my girlfriend is already giving my money away. Hold on, Sophia. So the girl he wants to marry is already sending money out the door. And that's just the beginning. He makes a plan, sets up a trust, and finally thinks he has everything under control. Okay.

So things work out then? Let's just say the people he trusted the most are the ones who ended up shocking him the most. So does the money end up being worth going through all that? To find out, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction.

And how did a 2023 event called Wag Agetten change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport.

and the free IHeard app I'm Bailey Taylor and this is It Girl. You may know me from my It Girl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years. Well, I've got good news. I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast. Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations, and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now.

As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated. So you have to work extra hard and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your integrity. You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja. Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye. Because being an it girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it. I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day just so they know what's really going on. I feel like pulling the curtain back is important.

Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just a short period of time. I guess I'm going to say it. I don't know if Baddalen needs to be part of the coach anymore. Well, that's a 56-year-old perspective, and I respect it. You know what I'm saying? It's an adult perspective, and I respect it. And I also respect that he said he addressed his own hypocrisy and saying that.

Because it's not like him and Nas didn't go to hell on each other. Right. He said he felt bad for it because he said him and Nause are friends. And they're cool now. but he said he felt bad for it. And I feel like you got to address the, like he talked about the four elements of hip hop, right? There's a reason that battling is still

probably the last standing element of hip hop because the MC still matters. And every now and then, MCs are going to have a clash of which. Like they're going to have a, you know, they're going to trade bars. I don't think that's ever going to change and I don't want it to change.

And I'm not, we talk about social media, right? And how social media, I guess puts a lot of fuel on these fires, that's going to happen regardless. Stan culture is going to exist with or without rappers going back and forth, battling. But as long as nobody gets hurt, though, that's the main thing. Because he also talks about people's families, but like you talk about hypocrite or hypocrisy.

Remember, he, can I say skeet it? Yeah, he skated. He skated on Nas' baby seat. He addressed that. He talked about it, but it's one of those things he was younger. And I think battling is a part of hip-hop. I enjoy that part as long as nobody gets hurt. As long as we don't take it to the level of pocket-in.

Now, how long did it take for him and Nause to get back cool again after that? I don't remember. I can't remember the timeline. A couple years later. But you can't put more on the stand culture of it all than you do the actual artist, too. Because the artists are going to hell on each other. Right. Right.

And so the artists are going to go to hell on each other regardless in music. And fans are going to put fuel on the fire. But even if these artists aren't even battle rapping, fans are going to get online and say, My guy is better than your guy. Your guy does this and my guy does it. That's going to happen regardless of if MCs are battling. Right. The stand culture online is something completely different.

And one more thing. The stand culture existed long before the internet. The internet is just the latest tool. This is out of guilt to the state culture. Yeah, absolutely. When Eminem wrote Stan, there was no damn internet. Correct. You know what I'm saying?

Like stands have been showing up to people's houses, you know, wilding and stuff. Like stands are going to be. regardless of the people are battle rapping each other. I think in anything that you do, I think you want to be the best. If you're an MC, you want to be the best. If you're a basketball player, you want to be the best.

If you're a baseball player, you want to have the most home runs. It's competition. It's competition. And I don't say anything wrong with competition. I don't have a problem with that. But Salute to Hope, he sat down with GQ's Frasier Thorpe for that interview. It was two interviews, actually. They released 30, I think like 35 minutes of those interviews. Great conversation. I'm sure next hour

to learn to give us more about it. And Jay didn't say battle racks should be done. from the culture. He said he doesn't know if it should still be part of the culture. So it's open for discussion. I saw everybody running with it yesterday saying, see, Jay-Z even said that it shouldn't be. That's not what he said. He said he doesn't know.

So it's open for discussion. All right. Well, that is the latest. When we come back, we got front-page news. And don't forget, Clarissa Shields will be joining us this morning. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right. Morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front-page news. And quickly in sports, today is opening day for Major League Baseball. And if you are

a Yankee fan, you are going to watch the Yankees on Netflix, right? The Yankees will be seen on Netflix today. So. Super cool. For everybody out there. Yeah, let's see if y'all complain about the Yankees being on Netflix. You can see the Yankees today on Netflix

as well as the breakfast club, right? I just want to put that out there. What's up, Mimi? Good morning. How are y'all doing this morning? Meet me, and Brown. Good morning. So we start this hour in Florida where a Democrat has flipped a Republican seat in a district that includes Donald Trump's Mar-Lago resort. And this is a race that's getting national attention. Emily Gregory, she won a special

election by just two points, beating a Republican candidate that Trump personally endorsed. Let's listen to some of her victory speech. This was a group. Raising money, giving the dollars on. We did this together, and I'm so grateful. Why does she sound like she's either crying or in a porno? Yeah, in a porn. I'm literally excited. She was really excited. Everybody in here is going to get their I'm so happy. Jesus. You get a... Calm down.

He's so excited. What is happening? Well, Trump actually won that same district by 11 points in 2024. But what's also making national headlines this morning is records show that Trump voted in this election by mail. So this is the same mail-in-voting, yep, that he is trying to block. And the same mail-in-voting that he has called cheating. That is what he used to voice his or to use his to extend his right to vote. People question him about this stuff?

Like when he gets, you know, when he's out doing his little press conferences, does he get asked about this blatant hypocrisy? I haven't heard it yet. I'm sure today someone will ask him, you know, how he was able to use mail-in voting when he's literally trying to block the rest of the world from doing it. So this is the 10th Republican-held seat Democrats have flipped in special elections since Trump. returned to office, something Democrats say could be a warning sign for the midterms. And this morning, a federal judge is deciding whether to drop charges against two former

Louisville police officers connected to the raid that killed Brianna Taylor. So those officers, Joshua Janes and Kyle Meaning, they were charged with putting false information on a search warrant that led police to Brianna Taylor's apartment back in 2020. During that raid, officers broke down the door, Brianna Taylor's boyfriend, who thought some of the, someone was breaking in. He fired one shot. An officers fired back, shooting more than 30 rounds into the apartment, killing her. Now the Department of Justice,

though, they are asking a judge to dismiss those charges, saying after reviewing the case, that they believe those charges should be dropped, quote, in the interest of justice. Brianna Taylor's mother says that makes no sense to her, and she says someone should still be held accountable for what happened

to her daughter. Let's listen. They committed a crime, so there's no getting it behind you. Brianna doesn't get to come back. She doesn't get to put it behind her. She was killed because of their lies and negligence. And somebody should be held accountable for that. And for me, every day since that day has been merged to 13th. There's no putting it behind me. Absolutely not. I understand. Yeah, so a judge has not ruled in this case, but for now it's still in the court's hands. And so far, only one former officer involved in that raid

has been convicted in connection to the case. Brett Hankinson he was sentenced to about three years in prison. It's not going to be no peace for any of them until Breonna Taylor gets justice. I hope she haunts them forever. Absolutely. And switching gears

a bit, we've been talking for a while now about those two major social media cases, one happening in New Mexico and one happening in L.A. Well, we have updates on both those cases this morning. So a jury in New Mexico has ordered META, the parent company that owns Facebook and Instagram to pay $375 million. After jurors found the company misled families about how safe their platforms were for children.

During the trial, jurors saw internal company documents and her testimony that meta-new child predators were using its platforms to contact minors, and that underage users were being shown sexual content and sometimes contacted by adults. one former META engineer. He even testified and his own underage daughter was approached by a stranger on Instagram for sex. The jury, they ruled that META violated consumer protection laws by misleading the public about how safe their platforms were

and that's how they reached that $375 million penalty. And one woman who only wants to be identified as Caitlin says she was a victim of sex trafficking that started on META's platform and she's speaking out about the verdict this morning. Let's listen. I think this verdict shows a message and creates some urgency that these platforms need to respond to survivors. They need to believe survivors and they need to respect that when people want harmful images taken down, they need to move swiftly to do so. Exploitation of humans and children doesn't happen in the shadows.

It's facilitated by platforms, people's systems that choose to look away, even when they have a responsibility to, protect, they choose profits. Meta better change something quick because if this case sets precedent, they're about to lose a lot of money. Everybody going to be so on a mess up. Lord, have mercy. That's not even the half of it. So, META says that it disagrees with the verdict

and they plan to appeal. And they say they have added more safety features for teens over the years. But the case in Los Angeles, there's another major social media case happening there. That case is about whether social media companies intentionally design their platforms to be addictive for young users. So there,

they say, yeah, the 20-year-old woman says that she became addicted when she was a child led to anxiety, depression, and so in her body images. Yeah, that's the one that Snapchat and that TikTok they were originally a part of and then they settled with her. And so this is the case that legal experts say is a bellwether case, meaning it could be the first of a thousand of similar cases against social media companies. Wow. Well, that is your front page news guys. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me at at Mimi Brown TV. And for more stories, follow the black information. All right. Thank you, Mimi. When we come back, Clarissa Shield will be joining us.

Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Show to me and the guy. We are the breakfast club.

Law and the Roos is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. The quote. The quote. Ladies and gentlemen, Clarissa Shield. What's up, girl? How you doing? Keep that purse close to you.

Remember what happened last time you was here? Yeah. And I got some money in here too, so I'm definitely keeping it close. You see what I'm saying? You got money. You just leaving bags around. That's crazy. That bag was.

Man, you still. Think about that bag, huh? Wasn't that Chanel? You're gonna still think about that. Well, I got more Chanel than Louis now, but God, it was like, you know, it was my first Chanel ever. Damn. Damn.

What was in that bag? Pikes, blick-clothes. It was just the fact that it was her first designer bag that she had bought. Crazy. She left a bag up here. I don't know if it was here. I left somewhere because when I went, looked on my, where I go, I looked at my footage.

I'm like, yo, I had this bag in LA too. So I did LA and then. Then I came here. So I think I left in LA, but either or. Jess, give it a bag back. No, I don't have. I wouldn't still. What I?

I would still have. So I was a bag bag. Yeah. Why are you feeling, Clarissa? I feel good. You feel good? You said you got more bags now.

We've seen you popping out and all the shopping. You know, I got enough money to get stylists now, so. Hey. You're trying to be the artist. You're doing music. What am I going to do in my free time? You know, listen, I try. I train, I work out, but I want a different way to express myself.

And I really can't, you know, trying to get a million-dollar endorsements. You have to have a certain look and have to speak a certain way. But it is like a little cheat code because you can say whatever you want to say in your music. So I'm like, I want to rap. I want to talk my stuff a little bit. I want to sing. I want to show my soft side. But I'm just not boxing right now.

I just won what was that February? What the hell is not even February? What is it? February 22nd. February 22nd? February 22nd. Yeah, I mean. Congratulations.

I'm sick of y'all too. What happened? That was my grandma's birthday weekend. What I do? It was the weekend of the 27th, I think. 77% of 18,000 in the building was women. They don't support black women. That is not trying to.

They had shows there, but I had shows there. They just started to support each other. I think you did have a show. Now, Lauren, I don't know about you, but I know. She had a show. She could have been in a show. That week was my grandma's birthday week, so I was here. It's one day.

Yeah, but she, my grandma don't play about her birthday. That week for me. up that day on her actual birthday you got to do certain things I didn't do nothing like I took the whole like it was all for her she could have my grandma to see you fight my grandma don't fly damn what's your excuse I was that show I had a show she just said her auntie had a show huh yonty had a show too what I'm on floriz she'll even have shows on Sunday she's a liar what you're not that's right that's right that's facts you don't have on Sunday with Jesse you lying that's facts you don't have no show you could have made it back here I don't want to a yo yeah

So you was free, you just was tired from your show on Saturday. Yes, that was my, yeah, that's my travel day because I got to be in here. Look, I want you to come watch me whoops some ass. I want to come. I've been to, I haven't been to any your fights. I've been to a male fight. That's not the point. No, but I'm saying I didn't realize how in person.

I know. You can't have a lot more. You know, I'm just saying, like, yes, and I want to come. Yes, and I want to come because I talk so much about your fighting and different things that you do. And what I realized when I went was that in person, it's like so much more grass. in life. Yeah. And it's like, it's way better in person.

I mean, you want to see that ass kick real bad. You kind of my fight. And that's what I want to do. Yeah. Yeah. That's another reason, because she was on the Baltimore side. Right out to Baltimore. But look, when a girl came, when a girl called the parent was like, are you

are you rapping for the home team or Clarissa? I was like, I'm wrapping for the home team because I got to, but I know Clarissa going to win. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, I should have been a good thing. Like, I fought the Olympics twice. I'm like America's Golden Girl. People everywhere support me.

People from you can. K support me. You know what I'm saying? Like we had 18,000 and they were all not from America. We had some Africans in the building. We had some Britons in the building. Shout out. It was crazy.

I mean, I got in the ring. I looked around and I said this is a, I saw somebody first. It was crazy. Why did it hit you like that in that moment? I saw when you got in the ring, you looked around. You was like, wow. Like, why? Because you've done it before. Why in that moment? Well, my last fight before that one was 16,000. So then this

fight was 18,000, but I looked around and I said, oh, y'all are really in this? Yeah, were you shocked? Yeah. I mean, I'm always shocked because I'm just so humble about it. Like, I'm so grateful for my fans. You know, everything that goes on social media-wise, it doesn't overshadow what happens in real life.

Like, real life, I have a lot of supporters, a lot of love, a lot of people who believe in me, who I inspire, and when I was able to just look at that, because a lot of times I don't take that in. I just kind of look at, you know, social media or look at the stuff. It's like, this is actually really good. Yeah. This is really good.

Women's boxing is not doing this. I'm, top three ticket sellers in boxing right now, male or female. The males can't even sell tickets the way that I sell tickets. So it puts life in perspective for you when you see that you got real support in the real world. Yeah, because you see 1.7 million fans well, up on Instagram preferably.

And then you, but it's like, you got like these hate trains or whatever, all these narratives. You got to see every day, all this bull crap, mean stuff. And then you go to an arena and it's nothing but loving and building 18,000 real people who are really there to cheer for me. I think Frank John probably had about 10 people there cheering for it. Damn, damn. And that's all right. Because I did it before.

I went to the U.K. and fought against Savannah Marshall with 20K fans and about 100 folks who were there cheering for me, I think. But either way, go, I still won, though. Yeah. How do you look at the competition in the pulpit, right? Because now you're the person everybody wants, right? They want to fight you. You're bringing the numbers.

you got the belts. So how do you look at competition or how you pick your next fight? Like who do you want to fight? Who's talking the most ish that you like I just want to beat the ish out of them? It's not really about who's talking the most stuff. It's about who's the most competitive.

When you look at my record in my resume, I fought against girls who've been undefeated my entire career, girls who got two or three losses. I don't fight girls who got like a bunch of losses and don't got no resume. Like I fight against the best. So that's what I'm going to continue to do. You know, French Island was who they thought

supposed to give me a fight high school beat down beat her down now we got Michaela mayor saying that if I was to go down a 60 she would fight me okay what Michaela asked too um Shadasha at 168 we posted been next but she's fighting the girl that I beat

Lonnie which don't make no sense because I thought I was scared of Shadisha and just speak on that me and me and Shadisha are cool now we cordial now but we haven't been cordial for a while and when I I want to say I ran down on her but when you ran down on her

when you walked down on her. Yeah, what was it? So Twitter, she was saying stuff about when she see me about what she was going to do and this and that to my breaking jaws and spitting and all a bunch of other stuff. So when I seen her, she was staring at me, she was walking past me and I was like, what the fuck you looking at?

Because I'm already on tip me. You're on Gootah. Yeah, because you said when you went up online, when you see me, you're going to put your hands on me. You're going to break my little jaw. so that I'm not intimidated but I'm like I'm gonna start the fight before you started now so she was staring at me too hard and I said what the fuck you're looking at

and she's like I'm just walking by I said that's what the fuck you better be doing Jesus but you don't feel like that's just like for the theatrics that's how boxes talk is showing line you know what I'm saying no no no some of that stuff is too far yeah you know I'm saying some of that stuff is too far you know I think that it's trash talk and then it's like disrespect when you're talking about family and mammas and breaking jaws and spitting on people like,

that's, that's just too far. Was shoving Franshan too far? Yeah, Frenchon went too far. Well, I'm talking when you shoved her, do you think you went too far? That's boxing. You see shoving all the time. Guys hit each other and face off,

push each other, slap each other. I've seen Terrans do it. You see that a lot of these, on weigh-ins. That's not abnormal. Does it bother you with all the stuff that goes around online

because I feel, I feel like sometimes you'd be answered. I'm like, why I'm gonna get better, what y'all want? You haven't gotten better. I've gotten a lot better in the last year. I can say that.

But it'd be like some of this stuff just be pissing me off. I'd be like, oh, my God. It's kind of the price of greatness, though, right? Yeah, you know what? Somebody said, you know, looking at my life, they said, if God told you, he can give you everything that you want, like your heart desires. You want to be undefeated.

You want to be in good health. You want to have a good man. You want to have millions of dollars. You want to have a house, cars. He'll take care your family. You can have all that. But you have to deal with people lying on you. deal with them creating narratives

and playing on your name and discrediting you, which one would you choose? And I said, I would definitely choose. That's right. I think what it is, though, too, is, like, some of the stuff, when you put your energy and your time and your, like, voice and stuff on it,

like, we talked about the whole, like, radio thing when you called the show. Yeah, they pissed me off, too. But even that, it's like... That was you? Yeah, she makes it video when she does respond to it. Yeah, and even that, I told you, I'm like, well, it's not a story.

story until now Clarissa Shields is calling the radio station because there's been things that I've reached out to you about and you're like why are we even putting light on this and I'm like girl you called like you know what I mean? You make it where I now have to call you and say hey it was annoying to be somebody to send me this link which I tell my friends don't send me shit

but three days nights in a row they sent me this link and there's people live calling me into this channel and their owner just lying I'm like I can I can strangle somebody right now they're on there lying like oh her aren't selling for her fight.

We heard the fight's going to be canceled. Have not allowed in Detroit. It was so many things on this call. And I was like, let me just call in and just. Why not wait till the night of and show everybody sold out? You know what I mean? Because in that moment, I was like, why are you are lying? Like, I know the feeling.

I don't listen. Say what you want. Just tell the truth. Like, even if it's bad, some stuff they say this. listen if it's anything bad about me everybody believe it it's something good that it's made up like that's you Clarissa she didn't know that's not me

no that's not me wow right I should change my voice a bit more but at the end of the day I'm actually happy that that happened because what I realized was he just got back on their lying again he's not going to stop

yeah it was one of those I was like yeah you got understand some people literally lie for a living. Yeah, it's like to lie Olympics. Yes. And they're winning. When does greatness start to feel like a burden instead of a blessing? Well, one, greatness can never feel like a burden.

Ever. I'd rather be great than be a failure. Be a loser. Uh-uh. No, no. But I would say that it had this moments where it was like, I don't want to be a celebrity no more, man. This is too much. Like, they, you can't do nothing. Nothing's good enough.

I've accomplished everything in boxing. I don't even need to come up here and speak about boxing or more. It's like, who's going to beat me? Who's going to check me? In boxing. It's not going to happen, but then you have this real life stuff and like to have people lying on your cat crazy. Well, you don't have a cat.

We have cats. Yes, yes, absolutely. That's one like a thing that's like that. Why are you looking at it like that? Filed to me. No, but it's like and deal people just saying something about you that's not true. It's like, that is where

I'd be like, you know what? People have a perspective about you that's not true listen you don't have to like my persona you don't have to like how I look how I dress that's your opinion but now when you start putting your mouth on my character putting your mouth

on my life that's where I got an issue at that's the times I'm like man I really wish that I wasn't a celebrity but you really can't take it back I'm never going to stop posting on social media yeah money off there how did that even come about though like the guy lying on the cat and all that line on you how did that

even have where would he have even got and anything like that. I'm not here to get nobody a platform but myself but I've never had a sexual or romantic relationship with that dude. 50 got this. Let me rewind.

New Year's Day. Do you guys remember, where were you guys doing New Year's? I was in Cape Town, so, I was in Ghana. I was in getting leave by my husband. Period, husband. Yeah. Okay.

But go ahead. She married to Mexican. Shut up. Anyway. She's married to a Mexican. He's black too, though. Okay. She like, she made him black.

I'm sorry. No, but so, all right, boom. So New Year's, I went to sleep. I had won some money at the casino, and then we went to sleep, right? I wake up, New Year's July, breath of fresh air, it's time to be new. It's time to be, forget who you was last year.

It's New Year, new me, knew everything, right? I get up at 6 in the morning. I read my Jesus calling. I look at the Bible verse of the day. and then I get online. And then 50 is trolling. 50 cent. The mogul trolling me.

First thing I thought to myself, well, he talked to me and Pat, what the hell I ever did to 50 cents? So I'm thinking, I'm thinking in my mind that I do, maybe I trigger 50 in some way. I've never done nothing to 50. Nothing.

From what I know, he's a fan. Right? Boom. So from that, Pap got to go on back. and forth with them and whatever. But y'all know me, I can keep my mouth shut. 50, why are you coming messing with me? It's New Year's.

You don't want to be a new year, a new you, be better, elevate, right? Stop being petty and stop being a troll. He's 51. When are he going to stop? So from there, they got the going back and forth. And then Pap told me after the fight, he's like, Pap already had the disc already locked and loaded. He's like, I'm for the diss this, man.

And when Pap's like he's going to dish you, he's going to dish you. The lyrics and the bars came. So did he just put out? He'd been had since. He had it for a minute. He said he wasn't going to drop it until after my fight. Because he didn't want me to be off focus for my fight. The first one.

The first one. I don't remember. Because Pap released, I think, two or three. He took up the first one in the car. And then he got Agent Provocator. Streaming on all platforms. That's right. But no, so from there, you know, he did his thing.

But I also was like, really, I was really confused. And I just had to call it what it was. I am, you know, I am the algorithm. I hate to say it, but how it was Beyonce's internet, it's Clarest's internet. I'm trending every day. Old stuff, new stuff, fake stuff. So I think that 50 just wanted to tie his name of mine.

And that's why he trod me and Pep that morning. So he got this. And now after he got this, instead of him responding, like the mogul that he is and getting in the booth, he decided to lie on my cat and try to paint out this narrative that I slept with this guy and that never happened

that's why now my lawyers has been in contact with his lawyers and we sent them a season to say stop lying on my cats call me ugly call me handsome say I'm strong whatever you want to say but we're not going to do that how did you get there

because I think the first or second time I met you was at the car show in in Shreveau with Fiff I was like well how did you go from being cool to totally that That way. That's 50. Why are we acting like 50 in the reason?

Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. I became a millionaire overnight but lost every.

Everything that actually mattered. Wait a minute, Sophia, did you just say he lost everything? That's right, it's inheriting too much drama week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, I just inherited a fortune after losing my mom, and now my girlfriend's entire family is coming out of nowhere with their hands out. One sibling wants me to fund their whole lifestyle. Another vanished for four years and suddenly reappeared, and my girlfriend is already giving my money away. Hold on, Sophia. So the girl he wants to marry is already sending money out the door. And that's just the beginning.

makes a plan, sets up a trust, and finally thinks he has everything under control. Okay, so things work out then? Let's just say the people he trusted the most are the ones who ended up shocking him the most. So does the money end up being worth going through all that?

Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age? What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year?

He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction. And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip, a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different guests and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap, scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

Was this before he wrote his stories?

It must have been. Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roll Dahl, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either. Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you.

I was a spy. Did you know Dahl got cozy with the Roosevelt's? Played poker with Harry Truman and had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he took his talents to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock before writing a hit James Bond film. How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever? And what darkness from his covert past

seeped into the stories we read as kids. The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to the secret world of Roll Dahl on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. They're mess with somebody. Because usually there's a reason. He's something that happens. He's going to troll you tomorrow. Nah, I don't know if it was a Twitter long time.

Like, how did y'all get there? Like, you just, you know. Oh, that'd be fires. Period. I'm about to swing on NBC. I'm going to say. I want to send a message today. me out.

I hit men. Hey, I hit men. That's what I wanted to make you. So you don't know how it got there? No, I'm telling you, nothing's ever happened between me and, me and 50. He actually invited me to street, poor pay for my flight pay for my hotel, everything. So to wake up to this on New Year's, it was like, bro, no, dog, that's, that's, that's wild to me. So he started that whole stuff with me.

I've never started nothing with 50, but, you know, I'm, you know, I'm. I'm a person where it's like, look, don't start with me if you don't want to, you don't really want to go there. You don't want to go there, just don't start. And the only reason I didn't really go super back hard at him was because one, I was in camp and two, Pap told me not to. That's it. Pap always told me not to do something. He always telling me, I got it. And sometimes you listen.

Sometimes you don't. I'm trying. Why you ain't going to booth against 50? What? I got a man to do that. When you got online in response to the claims that you were dealing with the guy and you were showing the text messages or whatever, do you feel like that cleared it up? Because I feel like that made us more confused. Like it showed us that you didn't sleep with him, but there was some sort of like in conversation of some sort of.

Please stop, Lauren, you, you, you, you're, confused me. No, I'm telling you to stop now. I never had a sexual. No, but she told you to stop. No, because the conversation that you posted. I was cool with him, right? That's somebody who I would have considered a friend at the time. We wasn't no best friends.

We wasn't super close. But all that, what he's talking about trying to paint a nerve that never existed, never kissed, laid in the bed, sex, flirted, like, flirted. Like, it's nothing. I don't even know what that is. He's just trying to make something that is not. And that's it. You know, it's crazy.

You got to be careful and stuff like that. even, I'm not even talking about dude, but not that you got, because you do have a newfound level of celebrity, right? Yeah. So it'll be people from your past that'll just pop up all of a sudden with all types of messages and all these things. And that's what I was saying by like being confused because I thought when he was posting everything 50, I'm like, okay, if she's going live to clear it up,

it's about to be like, she don't even notice me. He's just like a, like a fan. And then the conversation, I'm like, wait, what the hell? Like, who is this person? Where did he come from and why? Well, like I said, Shreveport. That's the first time I ever. ever seen him and then he started showing up everywhere where I was at like I'm very out there

I'm outside I was hosting a strip of party that's where he he came to and got I didn't know him then so to have a whole my whole montage video and I don't know you that speaks kind of for itself but now he keeps wanting to establish we was cool I knew you bro who gives a we never had sex we never was romantic so why do you want to make everybody know but we were cool so what you and your man's light it's okay Let it go. Y'all lie. It's cool.

Does that affect your relationship with Pap? Or he understood from the door? First of all, I've always been transparent with Pap with everything. I've been told him last year. I'm like, yo, this dude I'm cool with him been kind of acting kind of strange. He's like, what you mean? I'm like, yo. He tells him my best friend that I heard his feelings and he feel led on or something like that.

And I'm like, yo, how could he feel that way? That's not possible. But I don't know if y'all ever experienced it, but somebody you cool with who's your friend? who you think it's cool and all of a sudden they're like, no, we more than that. Listen, absolutely. Me and you're more than just friends.

You don't know. So you've seen this happen. You've seen the making of this. So you've seen where it was going. She was telling them in the combo. Like, I got somebody. Like, she was trying to tell him in a conversation. The same guy?

Yeah. But it's like he just, he wants to, 50 paid this man to just lie. And he want to keep lying. And it's like, he's embarrassing himself. He looks a mess. He looks a mess just up there. And it's just like,

He needs to just stop. You know, I don't even want to be up with talking about him because it's going to bring light to the bull of crap again, but it's more of a thing like, y'all, y'all my shit, I slept with him. That's disrespectful to me. Why I'm in a committed relationship, and then, too, why would I sleep with you?

I know you don't want to talk about it, but Lauren got three more questions about it. Go ahead, Lauren. I'm just saying, though, like, Laurenne be doing her job. The only thing for me is, I just thought, I thought you really knew. You were just guessing. Why even show all of this?

No, I just wanted to. It's been times where I've hit you like, Clarissa, you don't even have to do all that. I'm getting better. I don't know what y'all want me to do. Yeah. Look, all I can do is try. And when I try to get better, like I said,

I'm getting better at ignoring a whole lot of stuff. Like, you too, oh my God, I see some of this stuff. I'd be like, Jesus, please. Oh, no, you got people that have whole accounts just for you. Yeah, just for me. Yep. Mm-hmm. I feel, and by the way, I feel honored.

I was going to say, how does that make you feel? I feel, I feel honored. They've been using some of my good pictures. But they'd be like, oh, this one ugly. I'm like, no, not that one. What does peace even look like for you nowadays, Clarice? Peace? Yes.

At home with Pap watching the boxing matches. At the hookah lounge, listening to loud music, you know. Eating some food. The girls love say less. We love Brooklyn Chop Pops. Shout out to them. Popeyes. I'm talking about food and everything.

Because I have to refrain for eating so much food when I'm in camp. So when I'm out of camp, I get to eat food, get to eat chicken. Been teaching my niece how to box. My little niece, you know what I'm saying? Spending time with them. You know what I'm saying? And when I get to go on social media and just post and make money, I don't have to deal with, like, I've made my account now to where it's like a lot of stuff can't get to my account. I used to have it open to where anybody could DM me.

because it was fans and people that really needed inspiration to help. I've talked people from killing their... I've talked people out of killing their self, talk to them through fighting cancer. So I kept it open. But now it's like, you know, I hate to be the bougie one. But this is why Beyonce don't talk to y'all. This is why.

Because in order for you to keep elevating, you have to block all of that stuff out. Sadly, it's the good stuff and the bad stuff. But majority of the bad stuff, because people, for them to control them to control me every day, I think they'd just be mad that I'll still be sitting there just laughing. Happy. Still flourishing in my relationship,

flourishing in my career. You know, the last fight made $4.5 million. What we're talking about? Then I got paid $3 million for a signing bonus. That $8 million that we were talking about, that minimum had been made back already.

Not my next fight. We could talk about that, which I'm going to go down to $160. I'm going on to $160 because $175 out of $1. I don't clean that out. Why does she, I wonder why Shadda's chose another fight. When your fight is the money fight.

That's the fight that's going to bring attention. That's the fight. That's the fact that you. I can't answer that for you. That's crazy. But I think her wanted to fight against a girl that I fought again, she wants to see if she really ready. I don't think she knows if she really ready.

After that performance, I put up on, cut the seat, hold on. I had to give like the Franchine, but Franchine beat Shadishan. Right? Oh, okay. So it's like,

for Shadasha to be saying she can beat me. is like, but I beat her. And I didn't only just beat Frenchine. I beat the shit on Frenchon. Like, it wasn't just the, you know, it was a, I enjoyed that fight. I love watching the highlight. Yeah.

Just, she ran up with two points and I hit her with 10. It's crazy. We're looking forward to seeing you on your next fight. Yes. You get some ass. Y'all come. I don't really care if y'all too come. I don't know. Thanks.

So, watch the new music. And you got the new music out too. Yeah, so listen. Stream. First of all, Papp is like, really mad about this, but my rap name is Russa the Globe. Papp's on my time I changed the Clarissa Shields. Why is it Russell? Ressa. Oh, Ressa. Oh, I was like, what the F***a? He said she changed the Clarissa while.

I know it's about the music. He's like, everybody know you have Clarissa Shields. Yeah, and it's easier the brand, I mean. But it's just two different people. I got you. Like, Corresa Shields is like the boxer, the champion, the two-time Olympic gold medal is like, you know, the girl with the fat ass. Oh, well, Clarissa, we appreciate it. She got a go. Yeah, I got to go. Thank you all so much for having me. I got another.

interview. But, but bad guy, I had some bars on there. I got bars on Killer, too. But the love song Faithful is coming out this week. Period. So pay attention, stream it on all platforms. All right. There you have it. It's Clarissa Shil

ladies and gentlemen. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Period. Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself. Damn. I'm being myself. I'm the home guy that knows a little bit about everything and everything.

The little brown girls look at you and thought I want to be like you. Take me through that, take me through that. Where she's going? The latest with Lauren Lewis. Take me through that. On the breakfast club.

L.L. Cool back. Talk to me. I thought Lauren was supposed to be here. I thought Lauren was too. She was texting like she was about to walk in the building. She's not here. Yeah, she's in a little bit of traffic. Lauren woke up late this morning, so we're holding down for her.

So, all right, now the latest with Lauren, Lauren was supposed to text me, but she didn't. But she talked about the conversation Usher had with Forbes. And during that conversation, Usher spoke about his relationship with Diddy and how he looks at Diddy at this time. I don't have anything negative to say about Sean Coles because my experience was not what the world has seen and how he's been misrepresented.

I can't with any sense of humanity not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made for us as black entrepreneurs, for us as businessmen, for us as people who transition culture and ideas into something that's tangible. So many people benefited from what he created, and I acknowledge that. And that's why I see him as legacy. Puff was a mentor, bump, but he was, you know,

you have that really, really hard teacher, but you're watching something in real time. Now, you can't turn on the television and I see the influence of hip-hop, but the people who actually made that appropriate and other forefathers are people like Sean Combs. That's who I see that man as. And that's what I choose to remember.

What I learned as a businessman came as a result of seeing the incredible things that he was able to do. And that was from our Javar Young. Yes, my guy, Jabbar from Forbes. You can't say that that's just wrong because that's his experience. You know, just like Young Miami

when I had my sit down with her, she had a similar sentiment. And I mean, sentiment. And I mean, you know, they actually knew him. Like, their experiences with him was different. If you ask a person, their personal individual experience

about a person, they can only tell you their personal individual experience with a person. Yeah, that clip actually went viral yesterday. Young Miami told, talking about how she looked at Diddy.

We have the clip. You wrote a letter about you for Diddy's character. And a lot of people were upset because they were like, you know, how could she do that after seeing the video with Cassie? A lot of people wanted to know why you decided to still write that letter. I think I wrote a letter for a change man. I think that the man that I met and that I experienced

was changed. I'm not going to justify some bullshit or like support some if I felt like that person was a change. And I felt like the person that I met was changed. It was a different. different experience. So that's why I wrote the letter. How do you reconcile supporting someone publicly when the court of public opinion is saying something completely different?

If my time that I experience with you is one way, I can only judge that person that ways. I can't speak to nothing that I don't know of. I can only speak to the person that I met. And if I met this person that changed my life that helped me grow, that treating me like a queen that made me believe in myself, that's what I know. And they're not justifying anything that he's accused of. They're not justifying anything that we saw him do. They're just simply saying, you ask me about my personal experience. Correct.

I can only tell you about my personal experience. Like, for instance, Lauren, Lauren's finally here. You've been to ditty parties. Turn the mic on. You've been to ditty parties. You didn't see any of the things that people say. I'm not joking, but you've worked at some of the parties because I was working for Sarat. That's not the same.

Yeah, it's completely different. I don't know how personally. Some people see different things. No, but that's not the same. Attending a party and actually having personal experiences. the person is totally different. Yeah. They were,

and they did business together, and they were also in a relationship, you know, whatever. So, like, people were getting upset at her for sharing her experience, but that's who she experienced. A change man,

that's why she wrote, you know what I'm saying? You can't get mad at her. She didn't witness. Oh, yeah, my bedroom. It's what they witnessed, what they've been around, absolutely positive.

I can't get mad at them. I just think one of the reasons why I thought that these things are correlated, and I saw yesterday when it picked up so big, I was like, the conversation and how people are having,

and around Diddy, like the people who personally knew him, it's changing so much versus what we were seeing in the beginning. Because I feel like people were like quiet and kind of just waiting. But it's crazy nobody said nothing in the beginning. Everybody was quiet. Is it crazy or is it one of them things where... Because you feel like that, you feel like that, regardless. You feel like that if he's, if he got 10 years,

if he was on trial, if he just thought. I don't want the feedback. I don't know if I blame people. Or they weren't doing interviews. Like, they weren't doing interviewing around that time. Not that I remember. Well, I mean, that was a whole conversation with Young Miami. People at the instant that it happened wanted her to like come

I don't do all these things. And I think that's a thing too of like you actually are kind of like gathering to see what's going on or whatever. Like people were quiet. Like you didn't want to jump out there. Be the first to jump out there and say nothing and everybody on your ass. Well, um, update in the Diddy situation. I was talking to his attorney yesterday because a few days ago there was a civil lawsuit that people were reporting on about Diddy and Cassie

allegedly giving one of the escorts, uh, assorts. Aswards. Yeah, you saw that. See, this is the thing about the Diddy situation. What I mean? People think that you be kicking ditty back in. It's not that you kick ditty back in. It's how can you not chuckle when you hear something like that?

Ass warts. I've never even heard that. It wasn't the ass wards. I've never experienced it, right? I've never heard of that. Well, I called the attorney and I asked about those. You asked my ass words? Well, I just asked like, what are y'all about to do?

It's all these civil cases. Why don't you call a doctor? I mean, it's just warts on your ass, y'all. I just wanted to know how they're about to figure out all this money on the civil side. Warts on your butt. That's just what it is. I didn't know you can get them there, but. You know what a ward is.

How do you get assed? That's not what I asked the attorney. You know, not his lane of business. But, yeah, it wrapping up. See, this way it turns funny, but I just got questions. I'm sorry. This is why I can't take nothing. This is why people weren't doing interviews in the beginning,

because who wants to go through this? Exactly. But in wrapping up, the attorney said, y'all know he's waiting on the appeal to kick off in April. They're waiting for everything on the criminal side to finish and that appeal to potentially happen. And they really believe that he has a strong chance on the appeal because it will make things easier on the civil side.

to get rid of some of those cases. So they've been, like, putting in these motions to make everything, like, kind of stop as much as they can until the criminal side goes through. That's cool. But asswatch on the but-ups, right? You got to watch are small, flesh-colored, pinkish growths caused by specific strains of HPV. And they are contagious, typically spread through sexual contact and cause itching, bleeding, or discomfort treatments include prescription creams, freezing, burning, or surgical removal. So the male escort got ass-worts. So how would he have- This is all the legend, man?

I don't know. I'm just talking about the anal. I like, you like, ask what your anal. Because it has to come from like some type of butt sex, don't it? You got to come from that. I mean, I'm just saying, I'm trying to bring up big. You know, I didn't expect to get so much in the anal. It has to come of penetration, right?

Yes. So hold on, and order they get it, do you got to put your butt to the other person's butt and rub it? Don't do that. You got to go cheek to cheek. I want to do that. That is so stupid, yeah. All right.

That is the latest. She's finally here. me, who are you giving your ass words to? Oh, my God. Listen, we need a man named Brian McKinnell to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with him, please. All right.

We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast love. Good morning. Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold. Is it a re? He gave me donkey of the day, and I deserve it. People need to know.

Well, you need to tell them. I am. You have the voice. Tell them. It's time for donkey of the day. It's a reed, but you're so good at it. You're trying to be a thing. fake ass Charlemagne.

We only want Charlamagne to go. Damn, Salamein, who you give a donkey of the day to now? Well, sexy red, donkey of the day for Wednesday, March 25th, goes to a Manhattan real estate attorney named Brian McKenna. Now, Brian is going to prison, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, that's why the New York Post referred to him as disgraced real estate attorney, Brian McKenna. He's 62 years old, and he's going to prison for up to six years.

Why? What do men usually risk it all for? That poom-pum! Okay, that kitty, that undercarriage, that cookie, that penis fly trap. Yes, Brian McKenna is being accused of stealing $4.4 million intended for COVID protective gear. Allegedly, defund the romance with his den girlfriend. Oh, the power of the P-U-S, I can't spell the rest. Would you like to hear his reaction in the court?

Let's listen. I did these crimes. I deserve to tell. I don't know what else to say for myself. All right. Listen, McKinna, I understand. I really appreciate you taking full responsibility, but ultimately, sir. All right.

Now, there are so many things that discuss me about this story. Number one, you stole all this money from people who needed it, okay? Folks needed that COVID protective gear during COVID, and you just stole it. Okay, you just stole the money for it, all right? A man, who didn't need it? Okay, you're a lawyer. You're 62 years old, Brian, so you were in your 50s when you came up. with this scam because what, COVID was, COVID was six years ago, okay? I don't understand people

who literally have the world in their hand. You have worked hard to become an attorney in this country, okay? You more than a lot of people understand the process of life. You understand life is a process, okay? Becoming a lawyer takes at least seven years of full-time higher education in this country, all right? Four years for a bachelor's degree, three years of law school, you have to pass the bar exam. They got a baby bar and the big bar. My point is, It's not easy. And nothing in life worth having ever is. But for some reason, you thought you could cut the line.

You thought you could take a $4.4 million shortcut all to impress a woman who already has her own money. He was dating the then CEO of Aston's group. Her name was Duney Zeney. Okay, that's according to the New York Post. I don't know how much she was making, but if she was the CEO of a company, she was touching some paper. So I don't know why you went out of your way, Brian, to impress her. And I don't even like that phrase, fund a romance. You don't fund a romance.

Romance happens because of physical attraction, emotional connection, situational factors, okay? Y'all might just match energies, all right? You like the same things. Share the same beliefs. And let's not forget the most important part. Reciprocal liking. Okay?

You like me. I like you. Romance can't be funded. Now, you can go buy some pink taco with some money. All right. Golden Nevada. pull up in certain counties at a brothel and you can purchase as much as that

Harry Potter as you want. But funding a romance? No, no, no, no, not. I don't even want no romance that's funded because there's no such thing. You can't buy a love fool. Now, Brian was in the courtroom crying his ass off. I want you to hear this again, man. Just listen. I did these crimes. I deserve

to go to tell. I don't know what else was to say for myself. All right. Mr. McKenna, I understand. I really appreciate you taking full responsibility. What ultimately, sir. I know. All right. Ultimately what?

Ultimately what? He is going to jail for six years. I respected he's holding himself accountable. Okay, he said he did these crimes. He said he deserves to go to jail. Now, his defense lawyer, Eric Franz, claimed to the court that Brian had run into financial struggles and that he was just trying to help his family with the stolen funds. But assistant DA Jonathan Borrell alleged that Brian stole the money to spend on himself.

And his gal pal, Duny Zanae. Listen, neither one of those valid reasons. So many people are having financial struggles and sadly they don't have the luxury of resorting the crime to get it. And you, Brian, were in a privileged position already. Not just a privileged position to get money because you were a lawyer, you know what I'm saying?

But also a Manhattan real estate attorney should be able to get his hands on some happy clamp. But no, instead you got to guard your balloon not for the next six years in somebody's prison. Okay? Probably get asked And for what? The moral of the story is, life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you. Please give Brian McKenna the sweetest he-ah.

The sweet sounds of the hamletones. That's what I want. I had to think about it. Oh, now you are the donkey. Of the donkey. I started to say give Brian McKenna a Swedish he-ha. But that sounds like something you can purchase. It sounds like to be a lot of brothel in the bottom.

All right. A Swedish he-ha-ha. Well, let's open up the phone lines, right? Let's talk about funding a romance. I don't think there's no such thing. 800-585-105. What is there such thing as funding a romance? Now, I look this up, meaning chat GPT,

says usually means financially supporting a romantic relationship, paying for trips, gifts, dinners, lifestyle, or even helping someone live a certain way. That's the definition. Have you been in a funded romance before? I don't believe you can fund a romance. It's not even, you can fund the experience of romance. I mean, but no, no, not, not, no.

Has somebody funded your romance before? Absolutely. Big Sugar Daddy back in a day. But that don't mean it was romance, though. No, I get it, I get it. Like, you and Chris are in love. Absolutely. That's your husband?

Y'all got a child. Y'all could pull up to a pizza place and it's romantic because y'all two are in love. Yes, you have to make the other person feel valued and wanted and showing up consistently. Those are things you cannot put a price for. But how was somebody funded your romance before? You know, surprise trips, flowers, gifts, gifts, a car, house.

You got a car? You know, things. I said this, the Sugar Daddy days. Those are just experiences. They're not romantic experiences. Romantic experiences is if you actually had a physical attraction to this person, if you liked him, he liked you, you know, Jess and Sugar Daddy sitting in the tree. Well, he can't get no damn tree.

But listen, no, no, all right, all right. Well, then, yeah, that was me acting romantic like I was being rude. So you acted like that to get more gifts. Yes, exactly. But you didn't really love the guy. Okay, yeah. That's what that is. Okay.

He was tricking. He pretty much. Yes, and I was the trick. He. Right? Or a hole. I wasn't going to say that. I wasn't going to say that.

I had more than one sugar daddy, so I wasn't a hoe. Okay. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines. Can you fund a romance? $8005151. Is that a thing? No.

Let's discuss. No, yeah. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-105-1 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club. Morning, everybody. It's D-J-NV, just hilarious.

Salomey and the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're opening up the phone lines, 800-585-105-1. And we're talking about, can you fund a romance? Now, this comes from Charlemagne's donkey.

Yes, man. A Manhattan real estate attorney named Brian McKenna was found guilty of stealing COVID relief funds. Did I say that right? Let me make sure I did that right. Yes, he stole $4.4 million dollars that was needed for COVID protective gear. And they said he did it to fund a romance.

And I say romance can't be funded. You know what I'm saying? Romance happens because you actually like a person. There's a physical attraction. There's an emotional connection. You know, you and that person match energies. You know, you like that person, that person likes you. That's what makes something romantic.

Yeah, I agree. You can't buy love, right? You can buy things that people enjoy and love, but you cannot buy the actual feeling of a connection. that can't be purchased. Even though Jess, you have said that... I realized that the Sugar Dady relationship, that definitely was not... When he bought your car? You said, I love you.

Most definitely. I told him I love him before. That's why I got the car. Okay. But that, you know, I didn't realize that, yo, no, that wasn't real romance. I was just acting to get what I wanted. Why didn't it work? Because the money ran out, or? I think he just got tired of me, like, keep asking for real. Yeah, because he ain't worked from the waist down. He was like, yeah, he just really liked to be.

be kissed, he, like, stripped in front of things like that. You were sick to have sex? Yes, I, listen. Not a paraplegic, man. No, he wasn't, he, he's up all his limbs. It's just that nothing worked waist down. It didn't work.

He was in a wheelchair? Yes, he's in a wheelchair, but he wasn't paraplegic, though. He didn't have anything. You are a funny person. What happened? Wait, wait. How did you meet him?

I'm just curious. You buried the lead. He was in a wheelchair. Oh, yeah. And weights down, did what? No, it didn't work. He could get around and stuff. How'd you meet him?

I don't even remember. So you had this man tricking his disability. Did he die? No, he did. Oh, I don't know now, but no, he just told me like, this has to come to an end. Like, he feels like I'm not in love with him anymore. Like, now I feel like you're just using your... Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything.

Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada.

But I did have a relationship where I was feeling with somebody, like doing business with him. And he was sending me a large amount of money or, you know, give me money and gifts and stuff and helping me out a lot. And that did make me feel more romanticly inclined to him. So I ended up trying to have a relationship with him.

I don't believe you, man. That man was giving you money and you felt like you needed to give him sex and stuff in return for that money. That wasn't no damn romance. He said you probably right.

And then, like, I'm telling you, this was so long ago, so I don't remember exactly how what happened, but he was very charming. And I knew he had money because I, the will, judging by the wheels on the wheel cheetah. The wheelchair? Y'all, I'm telling you, like, it was like a new one.

You might be going to hell, man. I think you should repent. We're asking, can you fund romance? Now, this comes from Charlemagne's donkey today. Yes, indeed. Brian, what's Brian's name? Brian McKenna, he was a Manhattan real estate attorney who's going to prison for six years because he stole $4.4 million intended for COVID protective gear because he was trying to fund a romance. Hello, who's this? Hello, mommy. Hey, mommy. Good morning.

Good, how are you? Good, good, good, good. Can you fund a romance, Mama? No, you cannot fund the romance. You can't fund the illusion, though. The individuals who are involved in this, understand that this is an illusion for one side. And so the one that is doing the acting, like that said earlier, you act like it's a romance. They understand their part that they're playing. And then the one that's funding the illusion,

understand that they're funding the illusion. And they're okay with it because people like to live in the illusion, especially if you can afford it. Yeah, but you prove it all point. You can't fund a romance. You're funding an illusion. No, you can. Yeah, I agree with that.

I can't. You can't fund a romance. Yeah, I agree. But listen, before you guys get me off the phone, I wanted to get on for the longest because I wrote you guys a letter. And I don't know if you received that I hit written it and I send it to you all to the address that I found online. And I don't know if you got it, but I just want to quickly summarize it. I just wanted to let you guys know.

I grew up in New York and now in Lincoln, Florida, and times are very hard. And I appreciate you guys. I listen to you guys on my way to work. And I really appreciate that you talk about topics that people are going through in the midst of making it funny. And so I just wanted to let you guys know that as things are hard, you guys are doing a lot for people, even with the little setment of comedy. Thank you, so much. Thank you very much.

Sorry, I didn't this right. No, it's okay. I appreciate that. That we're doing right now, like my mom, with all this stuff that this thing happened. We're rationing her medicine, like, every other month. And, yeah, things are rough, but, again, I appreciate the 30 minutes that I hear you guys on the way to work

and continue doing what you guys are doing. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mom. That is horrible. She has to ration her mom's medicine. Yeah. That's how hard times are right. Very sad.

Yeah. Well, thank you so much, Mom. Thank you, guys. Thank you. All right, what's the moral of the story, guys? Moral of the story is you cannot fund the romance. Okay? Romance.

I thought you could, but you can't. No, romance is physical attraction, it's emotional connection. It's situational factors that bring people together. Sometimes you just match energy with a person. Y'all might share the same beliefs, but the most important thing, It's reciprocal like.

Yeah. I like you, you like me. Okay? All right. I'll trick on you all day if we got some real romance. Period. Well, I mean, not me, but you know what I'm. Well, duh, but I'm saying, period.

Trick on that girl if you love her. It ain't tricking if she's worth it. I always say that. They used to be like, it ain't tricking if you got it. No, it ain't tricking if you're worth it. Period. I like that. Salute to Hank too, man.

I wonder what Hank's doing right now. Man, Hank might be dead. God bless. Oh, my God. No, he only be like 75. He was very much handsome. Up top, he was very much built. Like, he would go in the gym and, like, pump that upper body up.

Do you babysat? No. What? I'm just asking. I don't know. Can you what? Can you fit in the casket? No.

Why would somebody want to be in a wheelchair, a dead person being in a wheelchair, Charlemagne? We don't know. What happens after this? We really don't. You can't take the wheelchair to have an Ohio like you can't do that? We don't know. It won't fit in the casket. Well, we don't know.

We don't know. You should shout out, Hank. No, yo, I am married. Like, I'm not shouting out. Hang, pop up on Instagram live later. You be telling his side of the story. Don't stop, yo, for real. Hang going to pull him to the camera.

You know, stop. I need to say something. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Oh, please stop, yo. We got the latest with Lauren coming up. It's the breakfast club.

Good morning. Lauren becoming a straight fat. Tell her, man. She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about every. She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa.

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. Brought to you by Top Dog Law. On the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. You made it for that Top Dog Law sponsored latest. Sure did.

You missed the other ones, but you made it for that Top Dog Law sponsored one, didn't you? Shout out to Top Dog Law. All right, well, I want to go back to the JZ, GQ conversation that you guys were having earlier this morning. because there were some things that we didn't get a chance to get to. In the interview, you know, which is 35 minutes long, so we won't get to anything. Jay-Z does touch on his current relationship with Jay Cole as well. Let's take a listen. An artist's expression should be their expression.

I'm really much fall back. That's what I think what happened with Cole, like just the narrative around Cole is that we didn't love Cole. No, we believed in him enough to let him find his journey. And he found his path. It took him a minute, but he found his way. Cole will tell the story about how, like, you wanted to send him with Stargate and maybe think about that single. Yeah, I was giving him a chance to take his talent and show it to the most people possible. But his way.

I mean, we made big records with Stargate on Rihanna and blah, blah, and even, I think they made the Wiz Khalifa black and yellow. Yeah, yeah. Biggest songs in the world, you know, you don't want to go see. Fine. What is your relationship with Cole like these days? Obviously, there's things behind the scenes like, you know, all they seem. like that to get complicated but I don't have any negative feelings

for him I'm actually super proud of him and what he's done yeah so I mean him addressing that I think was a big deal because I know when the fall off dropped a lot of people felt like Jay Cole was like taking shots at Jay Z and there's been other conversations that Jay Cole has had

where people feel like the relationship with Jay Z and Jay Cole is just so tormented and like you know and it seems like regardless of what's going on Jay Z is still going to be supportive you're referencing that line from rewind when he said something like I forgot what the line with like so-called king or something like that. Yeah and then there's also a line on the fall up where he mentions um being let off of like the something about like fresh off of a fresh out by

the slave like he's fresh out of a contract like a slave type of contract and people felt like that was something references his old referencing his old situation of jZ rock nation so and in that audio we hear jZ mentioned something about like an audit and then later in the interview in that same moment he talks about there's nothing wrong with an artist wanting to show that they're above board right which happens in business so it seems like that part. seems like, you know, they're still love there regardless of what happens. And it's any artist's right to do an audit, right?

If you feel like you didn't get the money that you were supposed to get or they used the money, not like the way it was supposed to use the money, you can audit any company. Audits are not bad. Audits are business. That's right. Okay? Audits are part of business.

It's just an independent examination of financial records. Not even all the time financial records. Sometimes just operations of the business. You want to make sure everything is accurate. That your money and your budgets are being spent the correct way. It's just business. People do it all the time. time. Same way Cam, Sue and Cole

was just business. If there is an audit, it's just business. Now, corporations don't want to do it usually, but yes, if you're an artist, you have the right to audit whatever company you work for. I mean, but Jayzy knows that and he's done it before, too, with his own business. But it sounds like he understands that. You know what I mean? He actually said that it's a good opportunity to show that everything is above board.

That's what he said in the interview. Yes. Now, Jay-Z also got into the conversation of Blue Ivy, because we did watch Blue Ivy coming to her own on stage on tour with her mom, Beyonce. And J.C. reflects on that moment, those moments. Let's take a listen. What was it like watching Blue coming to her own even more

on this most recent tour? That was amazing. You know, because on the first tour, there was a lot of like conversation around her first performance. And she worked really hard to get to that point, but she still wasn't going for it. She still was like going through the motions. And then after that, like she started fighting back.

I saw her fight, maybe for the first time in her life. You know, like not everything is just given to her. And everything is easy. She's almost on every number. I had to take her off physically or some number like, man, you can't be on that stage. She's singing, you know, six inch hills, you crazy? She was 13 at the time.

That's a lot. And she was nailing it. She was going crazy. Black Blue was a crazy piano. But she won't let us get her like a teacher. She don't want to be mentored in that way because she wants it to feel just like fun. She don't want it to be a job, but she has a perfect pitch. If she hears a song, she'll be like, play it again, and then she'll play it.

extremely talented right I mean we right but we expected that for Blue Ivy but on the written interview for the GQ side because there's some things in the written interview that didn't make it into the video part they talk about Jay Z joining Blue Ivy on the red carpet when she did the premiere of the Lion King in LA and that was literally the day after like all the allegations or whatever and he asked Jay Z if he thought about not joining her on the red carpet as staying home and he says of course he thought about that but because their family is such a tight unit and Play the clip. It's not a clip. It's written. No, that's not in the audio. It's in the written. Because their family is such a tight unit, he says that, you know,

he wanted to show up for her. He says that there was one day where Blue Ivy put on a jersey that has Jay Z on the back. And he was like, just seeing that, it kind of brought him to tears. And he says, you know, seriously, to have that,

it's priceless. People can say that they'll always be there for you, but it's very rare that you're going to see people go out and exercise it. And in the darkest moment for me, I got to see those sort of things. So he's just, you know,

reflecting on kind of like just, It's the community and the family in that moment. But I remember that being such a big thing because it was the first time that people that saw him after he had pushed back against all those allegations that were happening at the time. And lastly, Clips album.

So remember there was all those rumors about Jay-Z supposed to be on the Clips album. The Clips were here and they talked about that as well too. Jay-Z addressed why he decided to not get on the album. Let's take a listen. The Streets really wanted you on that Clips album. Yeah, I was close. I think the first thing that I say

it has to be said from me. You can't be like a new. I don't want to be so rigid with it though. I'm gonna keep that open. So I'm gonna take that back. But at that moment, at that moment, I was like, yeah, I want to do something, but in order for me to move forward, I gotta get it out.

I gotta get it out. Yeah, and I mean, we have the audio, the clips here talking about what songs Jay-Z would have potentially been on when the rumor was happening as well, too. Let's take a listen. What record was all folks to be on on this project? He was saying chains and whips. Uh, he was- Mike Tyson.

Mike Tyson blow to the face. You know, Hove had the album, so, you know. So be it. Yeah, it was all for him to whatever he wanted to do. Oh, he's supposed to be on so be it? Yeah, that was one of the options, yeah. Yeah. And nothing moved to spirit?

Hey, man. I don't know, man. I wouldn't have mind hearing Angry Hove. It would have been, jigger, jigger. Go ahead. Not jig and jigger. Not jig and jigger. I don't know why I look at him.

Oh, my God. I don't know I looked over there. That's not a jigger, jigger. It is not a bigger. It is. It is. Jigga jigger. God.

Why are you bringing her to Yankee Stadium? I don't know why. She should never be there. She deserves to be there. Can you just finish your thought? Can you just finish your thought? Can you do that? Can you finish my thought?

I don't even want to have this conversation. Envy, can you say what I was trying to say? I'm going to do it in a group chat. I don't know what you were trying to say. I have no idea. It would have been angry hove and that's why he didn't do it. You don't even know what angry hove is because you just said news. He talks about it in the interview.

goodness all right thank you I thought it was nice that he took a beat and didn't have on there though all right thank you ankles come on this the latest along oh my good I have on socks oh yeah could you put one in your mouth right now could you could you put a sock in it job this is the latest uh for today shout out to top dog law for sponsor in the segment any accident bigger small please call top dog law and happy birthday areitha franklin and elton john it's recipes to eryth franklin too but elton john is still alive and he is 79 today birthday.
