Oh, it's a girl? That's what I'm wishing for. Are you speaking into existence? She wasn't supposed to have root steakhouse last night either, but we made it through. Let me tell you something. Jess Elias is hard to please when it comes to any type of food. Okay? She don't like nothing.

All she wants is crab cakes. Baltimore crab cakes. Yes. I had a crab cake last night, and she's going to start showing me pictures of Baltimore crab cakes. What do you call that had a crab cake last night and she gonna start showing me pictures of Baltimore crab cakes. What you call that? A crab cake? Like I made it. Because it looked like a salmon cake from out the can. It was good though.

What's the difference between a Baltimore crab cake and a regular crab cake? It's no filling. It's no breading. It's all lump crab meat, sweetheart. Jumbo lump. We specialize in that so we don't play with all that breading. I get whatumbo lump. Yes, yes. We specialize in that so we don't play with all that breading. Oh. Mm-hmm.

I get what you're saying. It's different. It's not, it wasn't broiled. I mean, it's broiled, but that is fried and it's all filling so I can't stand crab cakes from other states and cities

and stuff like that. You're just spoiled because you're from Baltimore, Maryland. I understand. Yeah. We have today on the show Favio Foran. Oh.

He has a new mixtape out called Pain Is Love 2. We're going to talk to him. Pain and Love 2. What is it? Pain and Love? Pain and Love 2. You get no... I feel like I've heard Pain Is Love before.

We play that every morning at 6 a.m. for the past 15 months. Okay, just want to throw that out there. But we got Tez and Figaro right now with front page news.

Taz, what's happening? Good morning, Charlamagne Tha Guy. Good morning, Jess Hilarious. Happy Friday, everybody. Morning, babe. Thank you. What we got, Taz? What we getting into?

I see Fannie Willis on the Fulton County DA. Fannie Willis? Yes, Fannie Willis. Yeah, I know you like to call her Fannie Willis. Fannie May. I be adding a May to it. I don't know why I call her Fannie May. I don't know. You just like doing that for some reason.

Fannie May Willis. Fannie May don't play last night. We saw that. I'm talking about it was an episode for real of Just With The Mess. I'm talking about all types of gotcha moments and clapping back. So Fulton County DA Fannie Willis offered

forceful testimony in a contentious hearing on if she should be removed from the Donald Trump Georgia 2020 election let's go to CBS for the report I'll give you some more information on the other side don't be cute with me and then think that you're not gonna get an answer the tables were turned on Fulton County District Attorney Fonnie Willis with several of the co-defendants in the 2020 election interference case looking on and former President Trump weighing in on social media Willis defended her personal relationship with Nathan Wade a special prosecutor on her team these people are on trial for trying to steal

an election in 2020 I'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial the hearing was prompted by a complaint from co-defendant Michael Roman a former Trump official, his attorneys, plus another representing Trump, want Willis removed from the case because they say the relationship shows a financial conflict of interest. Willis denied being in a relationship with Wade before he was hired to join the team investigating Trump in November 2021. They said the president on trial for trying to steal an election, but Fannie Mae on trial for trying to steal someone's man is that that was happening huh oh test froze how do you know she's trying to steal somebody man i don't know i just did

that that's what i heard the internet saying i don't know what's going on what's happening test oh now we can't hear test don't be saying Look is she gonna come up here And get you straight You talking about She's trying to I don't want no problems With Fannie Mae I'm just telling you What the internet's saying

I don't know what the hell Is happening That's what I wanted Taz To explain to me But that's what I get For saying that Cause now she ain't even Here to explain

So I'm just sitting here Looking stupid Oh my god no You still can't hear Taz Yeah we can't hear Damn Well we have to come back And fix that

And hopefully we can get An update on What's going on with Fannie Mae. But I'll tell you what, though. When I did see Fannie Mae react the way she did in court yesterday, all it showed me was that Kamala Harris could do that if she just simply had the courage to do it. And what I mean by that is look at all the positive media attention

it seems like Fannie Mae got yesterday for simply being herself. You know what I mean? For simply just being herself in court. Like, i want to see the vice president be herself i know people like to you know tag y'all just with the stereotype of the the angry black woman but sometimes y'all got every reason to be angry y'all got every reason to be fed up y'all got every reason to be upset like don't hold me i'm not on trial here they're on trial for trying to steal uh you know an election yeah so let's stay focused on what for trying to steal, you know, an election. Yeah.

So let's stay focused on what we need to stay focused on. I like how she's not scared to speak her mind. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. That's what I want to see the vice president do. That's all I'm saying. Don't get cute with me. That's right.

That's right. That's right. Don't play with me. But when Ted's come back, we'll get an update on that story. But right now, it is time for Get It Off Your Chest, okay? I don't care if you're blessed. I don't care if you want to vent. Reach out and touch us right now at 1-800-585-1051.

Even too much penis is calling up here this morning, man. How are you? What's your name? I want to first say, my name is Kia. Hey, Kia, where you calling from? I'm calling from Atlanta, Georgia. A-T-L, shorty. So I want to first say congratulations to Jess on both being a part of the Breakfast Club and the baby.

Thank you. And happy belated birthday. Thank you, girl. And both of them making us sick. I can believe it. And I also want to say shout out to you, Charlamagne, for taking accountability for the whole Monique situation. A lot of people don't take accountability even when they know they said something wrong or did something wrong. So shout out to you. Yes, ma'am. Thank you very much.

Anything else? Yes. So what I wanted to get off my chest is that I'm tired of being broke. I have a catering company. I moved down here to help my catering company flourish and expenses and the cost of stuff is ridiculous. I came from Philly and the prices down here is way more than it was in Philly.

So it's just frustrating. But you know why, boo? Because you went down there and that's where everybody go to get their business off the ground. And if everybody think in the same way,

it's kind of like a mini Hollywood for everybody to be an actor. Everybody trying to do the same things down there. So Philly probably would have been better. Do you regret it? I don't regret it because I wanted to get out of Philly. I've been in Philly my whole life.

It was time for a new change and I came out here in 2019 just for a visit and I loved it. I was like okay change, and I came out here in 2019 just for a visit, and I loved it. So I was like, okay, two years, I'm out. And my spouse, she made it happen, so we moved out here January of last year. But it's just been a struggle since. It's crazy how I meet so many people who tell me that they're not doing good financially, but then they keep telling us that the economy is boom.

It's crazy. Go over to Savannah, Georgia. I bet you ain't in a lot of catering businesses over there. Go over to Savannah. You got to go in the little pockets of Georgia. Okay, I'm going to definitely do my research because it ain't happening. I'm going to go up to people and say, hey,

take my card. Look, I got this cookie. I got this plate. Shout out your business. My business is on Instagram. Classy with a K. Experience 365. Alright, well you have a great day, okay? You too. And salute to everybody who

listens to us on 105.3 The Beat in Atlanta. Yes. Good morning. Who's on the phone? Imani. Imani, how are you? Yes, I'm good. How y'all doing? Congratulations, Jess. Thank you, boo. We good. Yes, I was just trying to get off my test

that I wish y'all would bring back the Rebecca Black segment that y'all have for the Friday song every Friday. Ooh. You know what? It used to be so good. It was my favorite. I think we might do that. You know what I'm saying?

We might. You know what? Even today, we might play an old one just for you and then do a fresh one next week because MB not here this morning. Okay, I like that. I like that. I'm going to do that just for you, just because you asked. Where are you calling from, Imani?

I'm calling from the 757 Virginia, baby. Okay. What station are you listening to us on out there? 103 Jam. 103 Jam. Sleuth to everybody who listens to us on 103 there? 103 Jam. 103 Jam. Salute to everybody who listens to us on 103 Jam in Virginia. All right. Thank you very much, Imani.

We got that for you. Thank you. Y'all have a blessed day. 9 o'clock out, we're going to get the Friday songs on for you. Thank you. All right. What is that called? The Friday songs.

See, back in the day, every Friday, Envy and I would sing these two songs that were fantastic. One was Rebecca Black Friday. The other was Katy Perry TGIF. You know what I mean? I don't even know why we stopped doing it. Probably because we was in here depressed a little bit. You know what I mean? But we happy now. You and Envy singing? Yes. We'll play. I'm sure we got some old

ones in the system. We'll play it and then we'll do a new one next week. Oh, she want to hear y'all sing. Okay. Yeah, I can sing. Okay. Don't play with me. Okay. Okay, period.

All right? Minstrel. Oh, my God. You can't rap, though. That's one thing about it. Listen, every morning we do get it off your chest. We got Jess with the mess coming up, right, Jess? Yes, we do.

We're going to cover some relationship stuff because people are speculating that Cardi and Offset are back together because they were seen on Valentine's Day together in Miami. Okay, we'll talk about it when we come back with Jess with the message, The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. World's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Jess Hilarious, DJ Envy is off today and left the record show. Jess Hilarious is in here with no makeup on and a sweatsuit. I knew that glam and those runway outfits was not going to last. and let the record show Jess Hilarious is in here with no makeup on and a sweatsuit. Yep. I knew that glam

and those runway outfits was not going to last. First of all, Andy was the first one to say, uh-uh, not the runway outfit. First of all,

don't play with me like that. And every time you put on your lip balm, why do you like slide your finger across your teeth? Because my lips be feeling dry

and I can't stand people with an ashy mouth. Yeah, but it's your lips. You be putting that stuff on your tongue, your teeth. Like, come on, you got to stop putting your it's your lips. You be putting that stuff on your tongue, your teeth. Like, come on.

You gotta stop putting your finger in your mouth. People be paying attention to teeth. Now I want my teeth to look like veneers. You want it to be shiny? Yes.

Now let's get to Jess with the message. Yes. Usher proposed to Chili and she said no. So Usher had recently spoke to people. The headline, they're going to be like, what? I thought he just proposed and married his girlfriend. Exactly.

So I don't know why this would come out. This is like crazy timing. It would come out right after he married Jen. Right. That he proposed to Chili and she said no. He said he really loved her. This is like crazy timing. It would come out right after he married Jen, right? That he proposed to Chili and she said no. He said he really loved her. And it hurt her feelings. I mean, it hurt his feelings because she broke his heart.

He said, I went through a great deal of pain after that. Not trusting women or wanting to open up. I hurt her too. But the situation broke my heart. Chili is seven years older than Usher. I did not know that. Did you know that? Yeah, I knew she was older. Really? Yeah, I older than Usher. I did not know that. Did you know that? Yeah, I knew she was older. Really?

Yeah, I actually thought she was a little bit older than that. Yeah, but she still look good too, though. Oh, absolutely. But this is what also is so cute to me, right? Not to random up a break because he just got married and everything, but he the one that brought it up, so I'm going to bring it up too. When he was younger, he was like eight. He had put up a poster of her.

He had a crush on Chilly. This wasn't just like his girlfriend when he was dating. was like eight he had put up a poster of her like he had he he had a crush on chili this wasn't just like his girlfriend when he was dating he had a crush on her and he actually begged his crush that's the flyest thing in the world in the world is when you know you be having crushes on women and then you get in the industry and actually get with a couple of yes yes but i hope everybody gets to live that dream yeah i do too chili is in happy she's in a happy relationship with her boyfriend matthew lawrence though he's a white actor just wanted to throw that out there but yeah um he said dr umar wouldn't be pleased is what you said i didn't say that dr umar would

say that okay so but yeah i just wanted to say she probably won't be responding because you know chili don't be responding nothing like that i thought i saw that she responded somewhere yeah but that's allegedly and i'm not gonna report that because i didn't hear from her mouth oh yeah period moving on and if he was his new wife would you be upset that he keeps uh talking about his ex or would you just understand the interviews that might come up every now and then well she can't get mad at that and not get mad at how he performs with other women on stage so she just jen is a strong woman it's all entertainment is what all entertainment this is who we go this is usher Don't leave your girl around me.

He gives out disclaimers before wild performances like that. Listen, but he go home to her every night. That's right. Salute to Chili. Best baby hairs in the business. Absolutely. Cardi B and Offset spark rumors of being back together. So the fans were speculating on Valentine's Day.

They saw the couple. I'm going to just call them a couple because they're still technically married. In Carbone, Miami on Valentine's Day they showed up separately though and then they left together so it could have been he taking her out she's taking him out, whatever

but these people are still married we see people go through things all the time, we go through things all the time it's just that it's in the limelight it's in the public eye so all the people that's like oh you better leave him for keep cheating you better keep like they're still married like i remember it was a headline like cardi b admits to having sex with offset that's her husband like why would i have to oh no i ain't sex my husband i'm admitted like that's so goofy everybody just mind your business offset and cardi got a whole

life together yeah They got kids. And a whole family. They're still technically married. They got their, leave them alone. Okay, mind your business. Please do. Also, in other rumors of relationships, Larissa Pippen and Marcus Jordan might be back together. Larissa and Marcus were also staying together on Valentine's Day.

They just broke up yesterday. Yeah, well, the day before, on my birthday. They broke up on Tuesday and on Wednesday they were staying together again. I think it was the fact that she went online and snatched his pictures down and then was like,

are your friends supposed to follow your man? Like, you know how women react or whatever. Now, he never like, he actually did say something, but they both took to the internet. That be the problem

or whatever, but it is what it is. They're human and that happens. It was recently reported that they did break up because of tension. That what marcus had put out there um but it's not clear if their link up was specifically for valentine's day but they appeared to be on good terms and i know that i saw her leave like clown emojis on uh hollywood a lot when mace was talking about her because he told he told her you are not laurie harvey you're too old to be acting like

this you can't be moving like this you don't go yeah he Harvey. You're too old to be acting like this. You can't be moving like this. You don't go. Yeah, he basically said, you're too old to be going online, snatching down pictures and all of that. You're too old for that. I think what Mase is trying to say that, you know, in this era of the internet, you have to have a little bit more, a lot more emotional intelligence

because when you react just off emotion and you get upset at your man and you start taking pictures down, you know it's going to be stories everywhere. so you gotta think uh you know you gotta think twice before you act nowadays actually you gotta think three and four times yeah and actually people people with uh fan bases and stuff with the especially women they get like like for instance cardi b when she went live and she was going in on offset got fan bases so when you mad at him and you tell us you're at him, we get mad and then you pop out with him

and it's like, but I thought that you, you know, but these people are still hemming and it is what it is. We're in the days now where you go online and tell your business

and all that. But you can't move off emotion because when you move off emotion, you create all of these negative headlines and you create all of these storms, you know, where they don't need

to be no storms. Now also too, Jess, a lot of people have been hitting you up sending you congratulations on the air and behind the scenes. Yeah, definitely behind the scenes. Let me talk about that. So Trick Daddy had my phone, right? Yesterday, I was like, you better hope that baby ain't ugly when it come out.

Like, excuse me? Damn. Damn, Trick. I said, well, it's not yours, so I think we good over here. Don't play with me. Bring a real face to righty ass. Don't ever play with me like that. Is your country falling apart?

Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going, this increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Salute to Trick Daddy Dollar, man. Yeah, salute to him. When we come back, we got front page news and Fabio Forn will be joining us next hour. All right, don't go anywhere. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.

You're checking out The Breakfast Club. Yep, the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Jess Hilarious, DJ Envy is off. Now it's time for front page news. We got Taz set up right this time, right? No technical difficulties, Taz, you there? I am there. Good morning, Charlamagne.

Good morning, Jess Hilarious. Morning, boo. All right, now let's talk about Fulton County DA Fannie Mae Willis. Yes, you love calling her Fannie Mae Willis. She offered forceful testimony in a contentious hearing on if she should be removed from the Donald Trump Georgia 2020 election case. Let's go to CBS for the report. Then I'll give you some top takeaways when we come back. It is a lie.

Don't be cute with me and then think that you're not going to get an answer. The tables were turned on Fulton County District Attorney Fonnie Willis with several of the co-defendants in the 2020 election interference case looking on and former President Trump weighing in on social media. Willis defended her personal relationship with Nathan Wade, a special prosecutor on her team. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. I'm not on trial no matter how hard you try These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. I'm not on trial, no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. The hearing was prompted by a complaint from co-defendant Michael Roman. A former Trump official, his attorneys, plus another representing Trump,

want Willis removed from the case because they say the relationship shows a financial conflict of interest. Willis denied being in a relationship with wade before he was hired to join the team investigating trump in november 2021 now i said it earlier but it's true right like they have the president on trial for trying to steal an election but you know they're trying to you know prosecute her for trying to steal someone's man right yeah that's that's exactly it and i'm gonna give you some of the top takeaways it was a lot that went down yesterday with fanny willis now you heard her to give you some of the top takeaways. It was a lot that went down yesterday with Fannie Willis. Now, you heard her say at the beginning of the clip that everything was a lie.

She also made a point just to say she was highly offended that Ashley Merchant, who's the attorney that was questioning her as well, that she implied that she slept with Wade on day one. So she was offended by that. She said, you know, she basically I don't just sleep with people on day one. That was an offense. She also her in ways to affirm on their relationship timeline. There was a lot of questions about when the relationship started. If it began in early 2022, some former friend, you know, also testified and said that the relationship started at a different time. So don't know how much that will play, how much weight that will matter when the judge looks at it. But she said, you know, it's not like this is what Fannie said. It's not like you're in grade school when you send a little letter and it says, will you be my girlfriend and you check it? She said, I don't know the date that we started seeing each other, but it was 2022. She also one of the things was about her paying for vacation. So it was alleged that Mr. Wade financially benefited from his employment. She was really offended about that.

She said she makes it clear that she pays for her own trips. She said, in fact, that was a problem. Well, Mr. Wade said that was a problem in their relationship because she was so strong and independent and wanted to cover things on her own and did not pay for him. She said they paid for stuff pretty much evenly when they traveled. It's a lot of questions about her having cash, always having $10,000 worth of cash. She says her dad taught her to have cash, to at least have some cash on hand. And she said she uses that for vacations

and she's not doing that to hide anything. So bottom line, it was a lot of clapping back. She said she couldn't wait to get on the stand. She was rushing to get to the stand to be able to deal with some of this. But the bottom line story is people are asking Charlemagne, should she go ahead and remove herself from this case because it is a distraction? The judge said he will not be making a decision today. So we should hear something next week. But people are saying that if she wants to make sure that the case moves forward without this hanging over her head, she should remove herself from the case.

Should she remove herself? My answer to that is no i have reasons for that will she get removed um yes because when you're taking on a former president that doesn't play fair you know you got to be clean and it's sad uh and the reason i feel like she shouldn't remove herself because trump can be as corrupt as he wants to be and run for president and you know you see so many of these other conservatives be corrupt as they want to be and stay in a position you know so why should she you know step down now we'll see somebody on a trip yeah but look all the stuff that they do that's corrupt now will she I'm saying like all of that oh yes cuz she like cuz she took

the my own a trip I mean I just I mean she didn't just take somebody on this by the way it don't even matter what she did honestly like to me like her personal business don't have nothing to do with the matter at hand but they're going to make it that because i mean everything is fair game right like if you're trying to take down a former president you have to know that if they got something on you they're going to use it and they do have something on her with this one so it's really about how much she can stand how much can she take you know when she's sitting on that stand you know all of the personal stuff they're going to reveal about her how much is that going to impact her and you know her family and and what she got going on so as

long as she can withstand it no i don't think she should remove herself and she did make that point she said that a woman has a right you know a personal life. But, you know, again, the critics are saying if it's going to this is going to keep continuing on as they move forward with the trial, which is going to happen. You know, this is not this this hearing, by the way, guys, is just to decide if she should be removed or not. So when the case proceeds, is this going to be something they're going to talk about every day that he's on trial absolutely so as long as we have a man running for president who has 91 criminal charges you know four indictments as long as we have that i feel like you know there is no there is there is no standard so so if he can do that then fannie may willis should be able to you know uh do what she's doing have a love life damn well she could definitely have a love life i don't feel like one has nothing to do with the other, even though they will mix up the two.

But, you know. Well, speaking of that, Trump's hush money case. Also, yesterday, the trial was set. So this is the first time that a criminal case, a criminal trial has been set for a former president. So while this was happening in Georgia, this is what was happening in New York. Let's go to NBC affiliate WCNC for the report. I'll give you some more information on the other side. Donald Trump's New York criminal trial regarding hush money payments will move forward next month.

It comes after a judge denied the former president's bid to dismiss the charges. Trump faces dozens of felony criminal charges in this case. He falsified business records to cover up payments to adult actress Dormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal during the 2016 presidential election. Jury selection is set to begin on March 25th. Trump has pleaded not guilty and continues to make claims that the state and city are, quote, rigged. And I'm going to have to sit here for months on a trial. I think it's ridiculous. It's unfair. A trial that legal scholars say there's no crime. They say there's no crime. And the judge says the trial is expected to last about six weeks. Once again, Trump got all this going on and he's running for president. I don't wanna hear him

talking about anybody having to step down from anything as long as he still still gets the right. And what's so interesting about this is this trial will start March 25th. Super Tuesday, the Republican primary is March 5th. So by March 5th, he could possibly have enough delegates to clinch the nomination. So once this trial starts, we'll know if he is actually the nominee, officially the nominee, the nominee for the Republican Party that will be on trial. So it's going to be very interesting as we look at that moving forward. And it won't impact his campaign at all. And I was sitting there thinking, like, is this an indictment of the American people that we've gotten to the point where people don't even really have to campaign anymore?

Or is it just, you know, the fact that he's such a big celebrity uh you know and people remember his presidency does he have that much of a cult-like following that he doesn't even have to campaign or is president biden that terrible of an opponent that he don't have to campaign like which one is it is a combination of all three could definitely be a combination of all three all those things can be true at the same time. Some disagree, but yeah, it's a mess, guys. I mean,

that's just the bottom line. It's a mess. This entire thing's a mess. I feel like this was a Jess with a mess segment, Jess. Definitely got a little messy. Yeah,

definitely got a little bit messy. So guys, we'll continue to keep watching and I'll give you some updates on that and that is your front page news. Thank you, Tez. Make sure you subscribe

Chilling. Pain and Love 2, man, out right now. What's the difference between a mixtape and album? I mean, I know the difference, but I feel like you should just be putting out albums at this point. Yeah, but you know, it be different. It be hard. Like, when you're dealing with the labels,

they count albums different money-wise, like, for mixtapes. It's just like label politics. They pay also to? But for me, like, I think I don't put, I put more work into an album than the mixtape Okay, maybe it was kind of like for the like sheets. Okay, call fan base like that So what did that money come from now? You still put it up on the screaming services, right? So yeah, is that something that go directly to you? That's the label involved with that

We're not when I say like money wise I mean like like if you do it like if you do a deal like if you do like a four hour deal Right, you do a mixtape. it won't go one towards your album. So, it's like, they still got you in it, locked in. Gotcha. Oh, I get what you're saying. So, if you got, like, a five-album deal, mixtape don't count. They don't count.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotcha, gotcha. But this is good, because now we can go back. I'm from New York, so I know a lot about Fabio. But for people that don't know, you were bubbling in New York for a while, and you did Mace. How did you link up with Mace? For people that don't know, you would sign your deal through Mace. Yeah. For people that don't know, you were bubbling in New York for a while. And you did Mace. How did you link up with Mace? For people that don't know, you would sign your deal through Mace. Yeah.

For people that don't know. So how did that happen? Either you're tired of telling this story. I'm sure you're tired, but a lot of people don't know. A lot of people don't know. A lot of people don't. Nah. Before, I had the big drip joint.

Mase came And he was like Yo I want to sign I was like alright bet So it was around that time Now when you did When you did the deal with Mase What made you want to sign with Mase

Was it his predigree Was it the fact That he's been doing it For so long Cause at the time They were telling me That a lot of labels Were reaching out to you

And the reason I know Is like i said you would be running the streets all the time yeah i just his name i'm saying like i knew his name his name i'm like yeah i bet like and i was not the labels ain't even really start reaching out yet so like it was he was like one of the first persons and put like signed deal i was like where i just did it like i was first like i'm like i thought i was going for I just did it like I was first I'm like I thought I was going for me I thought it was over did you have lawyers look at the contract at the time they just signed no no I thought it was over Jesus Christ Bobby yeah when you say you thought it was over you mean like you

Like, my people was his people type vibes. Like, for me, like, we all got the same, like so it was different it was like it was like more love joint like so and and then and then i think he liked the joint so much and i'm saying he wasn't even thinking about none of that money he did songs fire like he liked it i'm saying then we and then we did we did a couple joints so we got we did two. He got one coming out too.

I wanted to ask you too about, you know, you talked about you slowed down your drug use. What got you out of using the drugs as much? We just heard a story of Bow Wow talking about he was on lean and what the effects it had on him. See, that's so funny. He said y'all used to sip together. He did not. He said he was in plug in New York every time he come. No, not Bow Wow. That every time he come. Not bad.

That's what he said. That's what I'm saying. No, but he said, now he did say he was on lean and the bad effects had him. What made you slow down on the drug use? I don't know.

I just, I was on my healthy journey type of vibe. You know what I'm saying? So like, I can't, you gotta like, for me,

you gotta tighten up. Like less drinking, less everything. So, I just got like that and started drinking more water. Well, I never used to even drink water like that. I saw a tweet recently where you said, though, you want me to stop taking perks, give me something different to be addicted to. That don't sound like you was. Nah, yeah, it is. Okay. When I was just saying that, I was just saying that, like, I was

just choking to the girls, like it's a little flirty type of. You know what I mean? It was just like a flirt. You couldn't think of nothing better to say on Valentine's Day than that? Nah, I was just trolling to say for the girls. They trying to go viral with me. They always go viral. Oh, so that was a tweet to a specific girl.

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Or just girls in general. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Basically, man, I want pussy over perks is what you was trying to say. Or just girls in general. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Basically, man, I want pussy over perks is what you was trying to say. Yeah, for me, that's a little

Now, Jess, jess you got a question all right so you got a song on a project uh with vory it's called no love and since it's like his legal situation have you like thought differently or whatever because you you hear meek mills say he cut ties with him or whatever how how was your relationship with him yeah i think meek cut ties with him like based off some other okay but he was just like when i came out he was letting the people know though like he not really publicly just let him but i think it was because like

some other like like i don't think he moving right like that like as far as the business goes so he's like yeah i can't you know you know like with like people getting in positions like me like where he don't really need money of off you know i'm saying because he he well off i mean it's more like relationships and respect like and moves and principles So I think I think he like he ain't living right Bori type of yeah, so he probably is not like that But yeah me I just you know, I just I just fall back from anybody that go through any type of wow Yeah, I mean then you can do at this point because the albums out like yes

I mean, yeah, I ain't even know and it's crazy's crazy because it's not like he bad-mouthing him. He didn't even tell me. I didn't even know nothing was going on. You know what I'm saying? That song is about your man T-Dot, right? The No Love Love? It's not really about T-Dot, but I definitely mentioned him in the song,

but it's just about separating from like certain type of people i'm saying but i mentioned my t-dot in there but it's like you know like you gotta separate sometimes you gotta separate from people i don't love loss it's just like i gotta fall back from you gotcha how impactful was t-dot's passing on you and condolences to t-dot was like he was like my light i'm saying i'm saying and he and he like my light. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? And he told me everything that was going on. You know what I'm saying? With everything, new artists coming out, new, like, what's going on.

On Mav Hoffa Podcast, you said one of the ways drill rappers can help with not promoting violence from their music is by explaining it better. Yeah. What do you mean by that?

You know, like, instead of going like, you know what I'm saying, going like, oh, we can't rap about this shit, whatever. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.

of my favorite promoters in baltimore city what you gonna drink in the club last night when we was out you had a sprite man it was so sad she tried to she she ordered them she said it just to say it she didn't order it but she just told the waitress and she was like I want a such and such margarita she's like no I'm just playing a margarita

I was like let me get a a patrol margarita she's like no yeah I mean cause it sounded good to say like I can't order

you buy your ticket y'all i took her four minutes to get to that part. Shut up. I'm going to be posting today. I'm going to post about it today. Because a lot of people are like, Shane, you post about it. I'm waiting until everybody get paid. Y'all get paid today, right? All right.

All right. I love SZA, but we playing snooze again? It's the Breakfast Club. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Jess Hilarious, DJ Envy is off. It's time for Jess with the message. News is real. News is real. Jess Hilarious, Jessica Envy is off. It's time for Jess with the message. Monique's son responds to her receipts.

So we talked about it earlier this week where Monique, you know, she responded to her son. His video, his 10 minute video. And she posted. What did the baby just do? The baby just did something. What did the baby just do? I don't know. I know.

Jesus, I have no idea. But Shalon responded with his own. He responded with his own receipts. So Monique had posted text messages, man, of them. Basically, they're from 2021. We can clearly see the dates of like of what looks like an attempt for her to like reach out to him or have some type of communication after he had in his first video said that this lady don't want nothing to do with me. She doesn't show that she wants to have a relationship with me. And Faith Without Works is dead. He said a lot of other things as well. And so in response to those text messages that she posted along with going live with her husband, Sidney, he had a lot more to say. For those wondering, I have gone to therapy on several different occasions.

And that is not something that I will ever be ashamed of I Have even gone to therapy with my mother on several occasions But for those who know how efficient therapy works therapy only works when both people are being open My mother was still in her 15 year old mentality phase during that time So I guess I understand why she did not know how to be open with me during our sessions Okay, so it was a lot of people asking him in So I guess I understand why she did not know how to be open with me during our sessions. Okay. So it was a lot of people asking him in the comments. Why don't you go to therapy?

Why are you as a grown man on here talking and doing PowerPoint presentations, which, by the way, would get an A plus. I would definitely like him to write my book. You get a PowerPoint presentation? No. I mean, you know, it's just a presentation, period. This is the person that you would want in in the group uh the group project in school who won't do all the work you just sit back and chill well I think it's a combination of two things right like you're you are you are venting like

I do agree he should be talking to a therapist instead of talking to social media but he is venting so he's getting it out but also too is the attention that you start to get from venting yeah you know I mean like people can say whatever they want it is addictive so you know you start going viral you kind of want to keep that going yeah you know but yeah and the thing is also that people were sent to your point of that people were also saying yo why are you going online and he said well what is the difference between what do me going online and then you doing sitting that you're going to go do a club shake interview you're talking about me posting um text messages of me online what did that what does that all have in common the internet so you went online first mom i'm here to you know obviously they can't talk

to each other i wish they could i wish they could find a mediator i'd rather them talk to each other than talk to the wild the wild wild the wild wild internet yeah yeah yeah i i understand it and then um he was saying uh he made it a point to say that he believes that people are in the comments who are against him are defending nicky parker a character that they all love and they're not separating um what nicky parker from monique yeah you gotta throw up don't you please just don't say it i know i know i know you over here acting like you care about this story you just trying to get i do okay i care about both of them but you want to throw up

bring jess a trash can okay y'all know she's dealing with morning sickness as soon as you started talking early i heard it play number three i love my mother and it took the birth of my daughter to help me begin to understand the value of a mother i am very proud of my mother though and i'm proud of the things that she has accomplished and will go on to accomplish in the future my mother's bad man i watched that woman go from baltimore to the moon that drive my daughter's blood not only is she still my mother she's also a part of history and i will be doing my daughter a disservice by not telling her about who my mother is and was. Okay, from Baltimore to the moon, it's not like me. I went from Baltimore to the moon, Charlemagne.

I've done some good things in my career. But, you know, to this point, I just really, in all a nutshell, i just really want them to get it together honestly because playing to the internet is just not it'll never go well for you i mean like i just don't understand if people really care more about you know what social media thinks and what the internet thinks than they do to people in their actual life they care more about what the internet thinks than what they actually think yeah can't nobody tell me about me. Yeah, so we probably will see Monique and Sidney going live again. And, um...

You gotta throw up. We'll just cover that. Mm-hmm. We'll cover that. That's just with the mess. Who you giving that donkey to? Just with the mess and the morning sickness.

Just who? Okay. I need my man Sean Evans from Hot Ones to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him this morning. Speaking of the internet

and, you know, people, you know, reacting to the internet We will discuss okay for after the hour. It's the Breakfast Club You're checking out the Breakfast Club Some donkey today's just saw themselves Don't the other day what is it say it again charlamagne i'm a donkey yes you are a donkey everything that charlamagne is saying is true yes donkey of the day for friday february 16th goes to the co-creator and host of an amazing show called hot ones yes i'm talking about sean

evans dropping the clues bombs for hot ones okay i like sean evans i've done hot ones before fantastic show he's always shown me love and respect but when there's an opportunity to have a teachable moment via donkey of the day i must use it and today's lesson is about peer pressure okay i've gotten on this radio and told y'all over and over and over again that most people wake up every day and don't even know how to feel they literally go on social media and look at what everybody else is saying and then they base their opinion on whatever the majority of people are saying about the person place or thing being spoken of okay in 2024 most people don't have feelings they have narratives okay y'all sheep don't know what to feel in this situation is an

example of that and that's why i'm disappointed in this situation because i don't know what to feel in this situation is an example of that. And that's why I'm disappointed in this situation, because I don't know Sean personally, but he's never struck me as a follower. But he allegedly broke up with his porn star girlfriend because she's a swallower. OK, yes, his ex-girlfriend is a porn star named Melissa Scraton. I don't watch a lot of professional porn like I used to. Red, you familiar? Red shook his head defiantly, yes. And then he was like, nah, nah, nah like nah nah nah nah nah nah i might be on camera nick you familiar you're not familiar okay okay um i enjoy more of the homemade stuff on point

hub okay it's a rawness to it that i enjoy the professional stuff it's a little too refined for me but apparently according to tmz sean and melissa just started kicking it kicking it in the fall and then they met in person at the end of the year also according to tmz they traveled everywhere together and even attended the super bowl together because she's a huge kansas city chiefs fan oh you liked her like dashawn if you spending money on super bowl tickets okay because that's her favorite sports team you like that woman and that's fine okay porn star passed and not if you like a woman then you show that woman you like her okay we know physically why you like her as she's described on porn sites as a smoking sexy brunette with large firm boobs who love sex as i found out this morning she's got a verified account on pornhub okay first video i saw the title was melissa stratton in the sloppiest spittiest scene you

ever seen suffering succotash sean okay you took her to the super bowl and that's fine but the reason i am giving sean donkey of the day is because melissa tweeted about her experience at the big game with sean evans and i guess at some point pictures of them being seen together at the super bowl went viral and people started saying they was a couple sean apparently couldn't take the pressure of that so he dumped melissa on valentine's day because of the media attention over their romance this is what page six and tmz are saying according to insiders okay according to insiders who spoke to tmz they said evans wanted to keep his personal life private but the relationship took a turn after scratton shared

photos from the superbowl okay the adult performer was said to be surprised by the media personality's decision as he was fully aware of her job before they began dating. And I agree, and that is why we are here today. I understand you, Sean, wanting to keep your personal life private, but I do not understand you breaking up with her because people found out you were dating a porn star. Who cares? If that was a big deal, you wouldn't have wiped her in the first place, okay? breaking up with her because people found out you were dating a porn star. Who cares?

If that was a big deal, you wouldn't have wiped her in the first place, okay? You knew that she was in videos titled Melissa Stratton. Okay, you knew that before you reached out to her and tried to connect with her, Sean. Okay? Let's keep it a headache. That's why Sean reached out to her in the first place. This is crazy like listen this is why he broke up with it y'all listen listen i'm just saying man sean one of her videos is titled brunette slut goes wild for big d and gets peed on in the shower okay sean she was who she was before you got here. You are 37 years old, Sean.

You way too old to be falling victim to peer pressure. I know you understand the Internet, and I know you understand how the Internet works. I know you understand how the Internet is wired. You can't let the social media savages win. These people are relentless, and they don't care about your happiness, Sean. If you was happy, that's all that matters, okay? They're going to make jokes about the hot lesbian double dildo videos, okay? They gonna make jokes about that regardless.

I saw Adam 22 congratulate you for dating her. And he said verbatim, congrats, her poom poom is fire. Wow. Yes. He also had some words for Sean after the breakup. Listen. Sean Evans, you know what I'm not feeling? I'm not feeling i'm not

feeling you breaking a sex worker's heart on valentine's day nobody deserves that melissa stratton is a beautiful woman yes she has chosen to have sex on camera for her career yes she has had 13 in and around her face mouth possibly but i don't know i gotta go search it up you really don't want smoke with the sex worker community. So I would appreciate if you would apologize to Melissa. Listen, Sean, I can understand you not wanting to deal with that, but you should have known you didn't want to deal with that before you started dealing with that. Okay. All of us got to pass. Every woman alive got to pass. Every man got to pass. Okay. It's just that

Okay, you knew what that was, but you buckled to the mob anyway.

Okay, you did something your ex-girlfriend never seemed to do, and that's run. I mean, she was taking it in every hole imaginable from the stuff I saw. When I saw the guy put it in her left ear and asked her, can you hear me now? I said, oh, she's a professional professional. Yes.

Listen, the moral of the story is, people, stop falling victim to social media peer pressure. Do what makes you happy, regardless of what your social media feed says.

Please give my guy Sean Evans the biggest hee haw. As you over there throwing up, Jess. I didn't know what you were throwing up about.

I assumed it was the morning sickness. Yeah, but like, it's also the descriptions. You're talking about butt. Like, certain things you can't even hear when you're pregnant. Like, yo, what? I would have enjoyed that if I wasn't pregnant. But it's like, whoa, oh my God. Yo, no, please.

Why are you saying, why are you so descriptive? I'm just reading the titles off Pornhub. These are actual titles of the videos. I didn't make none of this stuff up. My thing is, like, why would he take her to the Super Bowl? You took her to the Super Bowl, right? He liked her. Yeah, I get it, but you took her there.

Somebody would, you know how many people would ever watch porn yeah you're right they probably would have been like hey melissa melissa from the and then what would he would have done how many people that participated in it yeah first of all you know i'm saying mr marcus brian but i don't even know the new porn stars who are the new porn stars he probably i don't know but he probably thought that they could slip under the radar because you got usher lady g Gaga, Taylor Swift, Ice Spice. Nah. With all those stars, he probably ain't nobody going to see me and my porn girlfriend.

Yeah, all right. With all of those stars there, there's people who watch somebody like Melissa more than they've seen those stars videos. Right. You know what I mean? Right. Dedicated. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy.

I love his voice Why did it feel like it is a disconnect with Bryson Tiller, though? Because he's super talented.

Yeah. But it feels like he ain't popping popping the way he should. Like he should. Why is that? I feel like he's just low-key. But do you think that hurt him? Do you think that's super low-keyness? Because I do feel like artists should have an air of mystery about them.

We don't know nothing about Bryson Tiller at all. He's so low-key that you forget he even here. Yeah. Seriously. Yeah. But I feel like it's been intentional like i feel like he's choosing to be under the radar he's always been like a he's never seen like he wanted to be mainstream number one you know some people don't want that some people just

like creating the art and raising their family and some people want to be superstars like frank ocean i don't even know about you i don't. I love him. I don't know what his... I don't get it, actually. Yeah. You don't get what? I don't get his MO, like his mystique. Because he really don't be dropping.

Like, at least Bryson would give us the loosey. He actually just dropped some new stuff on YouTube. Frank? Yeah, Frank Ocean dropped new stuff on YouTube. My little sister put me on tour.

Now, today B-Dot is going to tell you about a remarkable woman named Harriet Jacobs, okay? Harriet

Jacobs, alright? Listen to hear about the legacy of Harriet Jacobs. When you think of black history and Harriet, you think of two women. I know. Harriet Tubman and Harriet Winslow from Family Matters. On today's episode, if I didn't know, maybe you didn't either.

I introduce you to Harriet Jacobs. Harriet Jacobs lived to be 84 years old. Born in Edenton, North Carolina. Now, Harriet was born in 1813, but by 1825, her owner had died. But in the will, she had been willed off to the three-year-old niece. But a three-year-old can't really do much with a 12-year-old. So her daddy, Dr. James Norcom, was the de facto master. By the time Harriet was 15, her owner Norcom starts making his wife jealous.

Why? Because, of course, he's flirting with Harriet. But Harriet fell in love with a free black man who wanted to pay for her freedom. Can you believe her owner, Norcom, forbade her from fraternizing with a free black man? Yeah, you probably can't believe that. So introduce Samuel Sawyer. He was a white man, an elitist. He fathered her only two kids. And when she got pregnant, Ms. Norcom kicked Harriet out and Harriet went to go live with her granny, Molly.

Harriet decided she was going to escape. She was first aided by a white woman who was a slave owner of her dam cell. Then she hid in a swamp near town. Eventually, she found this tiny crawl space right above the roof at her granny house. It was nine feet by seven feet and it was three feet at its highest point. Like she legit could not stand up in this joint. Man, Norcom was so mad when he couldn't find her, he sold her kids and her brother to slave traders

and demanded that the slave traders sell them in different states so they could never find each other again. But he didn't know that the slave traders were secretly in cahoots with Sawyer, and he bought all three of them. Boy, that had Norcom hot as fish grease. By 1842, Harry was 29, and she escaped the feeling. She lived in that 9'7

space for seven years. In Philadelphia, she met Mary and Nathaniel Willis, and that's when her life changed. They hired her, no experience, to be the nanny. Those two families were locked in from 1842 to 1917. Now, by 1843, Harriet had to dip.

Why? Her location had been compromised and Master Norcombe was on his way to force her back into slavery. Two years later, Mary Willis dies and Nathaniel Willis and baby Emma Jean go on a 10 month visit to England to visit her family and they take Harriet Jacobs with them. In England, Harriet saw an entirely different life. There was no racism. She never forgot that. By 1850, she was visiting Nathaniel and Imogene and his new wife, and the new wife asked, would Harriet be the nanny? But now the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 had been passed, so it was a lot more risk involved. And sure enough, Master Norcombe popped up on the scene again and Harriet had to make a run for it. But this time, the new wife, Cornelia Willis, sent Harriet to Massachusetts with her one-year-old

daughter Lillian. And Harriet told Cornelia how dangerous it was out there, with constant danger for herself and other enslaved black women who'd been separated from their children. But that white woman was smart.
