Speaking of saying ridiculous things, Eric Sermon will be joining us this morning, okay? Eric Sermon is an iconic, legendary hip-hop producer, man. He helped the craft, you know, a lot of the East Coast sound,
Starting point is 00:05:48 you know, discovered people like Red Man and Keith Murray, one-half of EPMD. But it pains me that a lot of people from this generation are talking about him as one of the men on the ditty dock. Because you don't want to be one of the men on the ditty dock, all right? Because you got men on the ditty doc saying they walk up with sore anus. Okay? Eric Sermon did not say that.
Starting point is 00:06:07 He was not one of them. He didn't, but it's easily to get mixed up in all of that, all right? So we'll be here to talk to, Eric Sermon, be here to talk to us about that this morning. And he's got a new album, Dynamic Duos, Volume 1, which is in stores now. But we'll be talking to Eric Sermon next hour. But coming up next, Mimi Brown, with Front Page News. Starting with Red. G. Herbal?
Starting point is 00:06:28 Okay, I can do G-Herbo. With the Christmas music. I do want some Christmas music. It's the world's most dangerous morning to show the breakfast club. Time for front-page news with Mimi Brown. Good morning, Mimi. Good morning, Shaleman. Good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Bless Black and Holly doing this morning. All right, well, we're learning more this morning about a high-stakes move by the United States off the coast of Venezuela. Now, President Trump says U.S. forces have seized an oil tanker, and it's the latest sign of just how tense things have gotten between Washington, and the Venezuelan government. Let's listen to what President Trump had to say. As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela,
Starting point is 00:07:06 large tanker, very large. Largest one ever seized, actually. And other things are happening. So you'll be seeing that later, and you'll be talking about that later with some other people. What did that mean they seized a tanker? What's in the damn tanker? Oil. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:24 According to U.S. officials, the operation was led by the Coast Guard with Navy support. Teams were flown by helicopter from the aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford, which has been positioned in the Caribbean for weeks. Now, video posted by Attorney General Pam Bondi shows the Coast Guard members repelling onto the deck with their weapons drawn. Officials say the ship called the skipper. It has a long history of U.S. sanctions. It's been linked to illegal oil shipments tied to Iran and accused of operating as a shadow tanker. which means it's been switching names and hiding its location. Now, on this trip, it was carrying 1.1 million barrels of Venezuelan oil, some of it bound for Cuba. Now, President Trump was asked in the Oval Office what he plans to do with that oil.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Let's listen to what he had to say with that. Well, we keep it, I guess. When you have to follow the tanker, but we're going to, I guess so we're going to keep the oil. So they're being honest about this being about the oil now. acting like this is about drugs, but we know this is about the oil, so they're just being honest about, you know, doing these heists in front of everybody. Well, it sounds like it, right? So U.S. officials say the goal is clear to cut off the money fueling Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro's government.
Starting point is 00:08:38 And back here at home in the U.S., President Trump, he's turning up the pressure saying this week that Maduro's days are, quote, numbered and suggesting that land strikes could be next. Now, Venezuela's economy, it depends mostly entirely on oil. And the administration says a seizure, though, is part of a broader pressure campaign from deploying those warships you were just talking about, Charlemagne, to launching strikes on boats. The U.S. says are tied to drug smuggling. Now, Venezuela, they are calling the move international piracy and accusing the U.S. of trying to take its natural resources. And some members of Congress, though, they are now questioning how far this campaign is going and whether any parts of this may violate international law. I mean, it sounds like a heist to me, but, you know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:24 what's lawful. I don't know what's legal anymore. I don't know what's unconstitutional because the media's approach to a lot of this is just reporting it. Like, none of it feels normal, but when I'm watching the news and they're debating whether this stuff is correct or not, I'm just sitting there waiting to find out. And I don't never seem to find out. And it feels like with the Trump administration, the lines are so blurred now that it's hard to know the difference, right? And speaking of knowing the difference, President Trump, his new gold card immigration program is officially live. It's a fast track green card, with a pathway to citizenship, but only for people and companies who can pay steep fees.
Starting point is 00:09:59 So individuals must pay a million dollars and businesses must pay $2 million per foreign worker. Trump says the money will go straight to the treasury and could bring in billions of dollars. Now, this would replace the old EB-5 investor visa, which required creating U.S. jobs, and that gold card would drop that rule entirely. So unlike the old program, there's no limit to how many visas can be issued if you have the money, and you can buy it. And for anyone wondering how long that million dollars gets you in the country, well, the gold card, it will work like a green card, which means it will allow you to live and work in the U.S. permanently,
Starting point is 00:10:35 but after about five years, you can apply for citizenship. And the U.S. says that it will help boost companies and keep graduates from schools whose visas force them to leave after graduation. But critics say it highlights a contradiction, cracking down immigration on the border while opening a fast lane for the wealthy. But Trump says the goal is simple To bring in the best people and raise revenue for the country Once again, I don't know what's lawful
Starting point is 00:11:00 I don't know what's legal A president can just create a gold card and profit off selling citizenship Like what? That is so crazy Where does that money go? Who keeps that money? Clearly Trump, right? Well, he said it goes to the treasury and would go back into the economy That's what he says would happen So yeah, so we will see with that all right y'all. Well coming up at 7 And Siza is taking on the White House
Starting point is 00:11:23 why one of her songs is now at the center of a political fight. We'll break it down. Get it off your chest. Thank you, Mimi. Now it's time for get it off your chest. 1-800-585-105.1.

It's the world's most dangerous morning. Show the Breakfast Club. Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlemagne. Lizzie, what up?

Starting point is 00:12:11 No, I'm calling to talk about, so Kalani is up there. I finally went back and listened to her interview. Who? She was talking about that. Kalani. Kalani. Kalani. Oh, Kayloni.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Kaylani. Oh, Kloni. Oh, I'm sorry. Kaylani, Kaylani. She was talking about the AI app. Suno from the AI artist. Yeah. So I started using the AI app for songway, but I use it differently.
Starting point is 00:12:36 So, you know, when I write songs, I go and I actually record the songs myself. Yeah. Inside the studio, I do the cadence. I do the delivery. I do the flow. But then, you know, I try to, like, you know, give songs to people. So I use the AI app to actually just turn. My songs, it's like a female voice.
Starting point is 00:12:52 So I can hear what it was sound like and a female voice. I use it differently. For reference. I think that's a reference. Yeah, I use it for references. So I think it's a great tool for that. But I can understand what she was saying as far as late.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Now, if you're using it, I believe the poet just puts it just prompts and just puts her lyrics in there and it does everything else for her for like CID and delivering everything. So I do think it's cheating. Yeah, I heard push your T said that too. Push your T said that when he uses it. He uses it to see what. what a certain artist will sound like on his records.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Yeah, so that's exactly what I use it for. And it is an amazing tool, like as far as for that. But now, if you're using it just for this, you know, trying to make it come up with everything for you, that is very much here. No, I agree with you. I agree what you saying. I got it.
Starting point is 00:13:39 And speaking of song, my ass, sorry, I don't know, you didn't acknowledge. I don't know if you ever got what I sent you. Yes, I did get it. What are you talking about? Okay, I didn't know you didn't like it. You didn't say thank you. this thing. I appreciate it.

And this is Beyonce's first time doing that. Like playing the massive event. So they help to set the night's tone.
Starting point is 00:23:50 They influence the theme, the dress code. They help to work on the guest list, the decor, the menu. You know, they help to welcome guests. And sometimes they even give speeches or might be a little performance. And they just help to add publicity to the event because it is a fundraiser event for the Institute. I just found that out last year that it's a fundraiser. But it's a fundraiser for the actual Met Gala, right? Yeah, they have like the Institute and they have where they display a lot of the costuming and different things.
Starting point is 00:24:17 And, you know, they do a lot in the arts. community. So it's a big event. It's like fashion's biggest night. Those stairs are like legendary, but it does give back to a creative community. Now they will also join Gala co-chairs, Zoe Kravitz. The community
Starting point is 00:24:32 behind the event is just as Star-studded. You have people like doja cat, Misty Copeland, Tiana Taylor, Asia Wilson. Big Asia! Oh! Yes. Oh, okay, Misty Copeland, that's what's up. Oh, her sneaker. I'm like, why did you just get up like that? Oh, yeah, I was wearing her sneakers. day. Big Asia Wilson, dropping a clue bomb for Asia Wilson.
Starting point is 00:24:51 I hope those are new. How many times you wear those? Because don't be putting them on the table smelling like that. A couple times. Okay. Clean the bottom is? Mm-hmm. Well, y'all know whenever Beyonce, or the stars in general show up to that Gala, they give moments. So some of the things that, you know, we're trying to figure out right now is who will dress her? Like, which house will she dawn on the stairs? And some people
Starting point is 00:25:11 have even been having conversations about because Beyonce did a, she dabbled in Couture not too long ago. Just, you know, a little taste test. if there will be a moment where we see Ms. Tina Knowles return back to, you know, putting and helping put the clothes on Beyonce because the theme this year is costume art. And we know from Beyonce's tours that she go crazy with the costumes. And a lot of people think that this is the kickoff to Act 3. What happened to the House of Daryon? Didn't she used to have the House of Daryon?
Starting point is 00:25:37 Yes. Miss Tina Nose had House of Daryon. And then it was what, Blue Ivy? What was the other thing called? Blue Ivy is her daughter. I know. It was something. Yeah, but it was something named at Cabo.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Ivy Park. Yes. Yes, and then after Ivy Park kind of went out of the way a bit, Beyonce did like a small couture line, so she was playing around the couture fabrics as well, too. But, yeah, so people are trying to figure out what's going to happen. Now, what I do know we probably will see is Blue Ivy hit those steps. It's right next to her mama.
Starting point is 00:26:06 She's better. You know she's the manager, okay? So she's going to be there. Speaking of, I saw her and Jay Z at the game last night, the Lickers game. She is so grown up. That's what happened with the kids. I know. more like Beyonce.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Yes. She's straight B. Like when B was younger, that is her face. Yes, like her. Like she has like a rusting Beyonce face. Like it's like scary. Like how much she looked like Solange too. She looked like Beyonce and Salonge to me.
Starting point is 00:26:32 It's called jeans, y'all. It's definitely called jeans. Right. Like we don't know that. It's just with celebrity kids. Of course we know they grow up. But it's every time you see them knowing how small she was. You were small too at one point.
Starting point is 00:26:44 And you grew up as well. You're 33 now. You was also once a child. These people are humans. you do realize that. Well, speaking of children, let me say this too. If there are any...
Starting point is 00:26:54 It's so disgusting. Exactly. If there are any MetGala co-chairs listening or event planners or anybody over the media list, I know that's right. You know, come on.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Trying to pop out. We need some presents there from the world's biggest morning show, you know, so... Are you asking for a spot on the Met Gala? You want to go to the Met Gala? Yes, I do want to go to the Met Gala.
Starting point is 00:27:13 I would love to be on the carpet, interviewing all the people and bringing the things back to the latest, but I also would love to go inside and see if the food really tastes like Lizzo said it did that one year. She said it wasn't the best. Lizzo B. E.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Not like that no more, but that's bad what she was. Yeah. She probably was like, this thing is nasty. She might eat a lot this year. Remember she said she wanted to bring back the big girl. Didn't she say that? Something like that? She said that there was an erasure culture happening.
Starting point is 00:27:36 But she also said that their food was nasty. People was like she might not get invited again. But speaking of kids, we're going to move on to another story. So Michael B. Jordan is having a conversation with David Letterman for my next guest needs no introduction and they posted, Netflix posted this small clip of Michael B. Jordan and wow, the girls are crying and upset.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Let's take a listen. I want to start out small. I want children. I want kids with it. But I figured I got to start off with like plants and dogs. I see if I could like... I see. Plants, dogs, humans.
Starting point is 00:28:09 You know what I is? You know what I can take care of plants. I should be able to get a dog. Yeah. If I take care of the dog's cool, then you know, I have a shot. You will love it. And I'll be wondering what took me so long.
Starting point is 00:28:18 No, you're right on schedule. I waited too long. You know, I'm 100. What's the problem with what he said? He said he's ready to have kids. So people are like, I think it's just the air. You got some people that are upset because they think they have a chance. The girls are shooting their shot everywhere they can shoot a shot at.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Who's upset? And then you have some girls that are like, this means he's going to be off the market because he's about to settle down. Huh? Because he's ready to have kids. He doesn't have children. He's right. Michael B. Jordan's dating life and him.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Why does that upset anybody? Like when women say they're ready to have kids, nobody cares, but why is that upset him too? May 24th, 1990, a pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Berry's car. I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded. I felt it ripped through me with just a force more powerful and terrible than anything that I could describe. In season two of Rip Current, we ask, who tried to kill Judy Barry and why? She received death threats before the bombing. She received more threats after the bombing.
Starting point is 00:29:20 The man and woman who were heard had planned to lead a summer of militant protest against logging practices in Northern California. They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods. The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one industry in the area, but more than it was the culture. It was the way of life. I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement. Episodes of Rip Current Season 2 are available now.

Yeah, but, I mean, not all the billion women. He's not even ready. He's not even ready yet. He said he got to get the plant and the dog first. He only had none of that yet.
Starting point is 00:34:19 And he always busy. I had a question about that. So he's a busy person. He's practicing with plants and dogs. Y'all have real kids. Do y'all think that that's a good practice? Should I get a puppy? Absolutely, like puppies.
Starting point is 00:34:31 Like, even though they never start talking and grow up and go to school, you've got to pay for everything. They start talking back and all that, clean up their room. You don't got to deal with that. part of it, but a puppy is definitely like another baby. That's not true. And I don't even know why you're saying that and you got two kids. We have somebody up here right now
Starting point is 00:34:47 who used to love their dog. They just recently had a baby. I ain't seen that little punk-ass dog up here since she had the baby. And I even say to her, I said to her maybe about a week ago, I said yeah, you know, that dog don't feel like no child no more. Do it now that you got a real baby at the house, huh?
Starting point is 00:35:04 Yeah. People's dogs are like their kids. Yeah. Until they get kids and realized why did I ever think okay that this dog or this pet was like a child and you know why you are so right because we had to give our dog away
Starting point is 00:35:18 see what I'm saying you would never do that to a job and he was no no no no no but he was yeah he was jealous and yeah he started going like barking at my daughter and stuff and I was like all right now pet pee-pita gonna be mad to me if something happened to your ass till I had to give him away you made the right choice
Starting point is 00:35:33 so no puppy it doesn't make sense for me to get a puppy to figure this out first of all you need to get a husband how about that I am going to get a husband. Let's start what you having a marriage. Let's start what you having a marriage and a husband. Speak it over my life. And then you have a baby.
Starting point is 00:35:45 How about that? But, you know, I was just thinking like if I start with the puppy now, I mean, he's already here. He's on his way to a fiancé and husband. We can figure out some things. Y'all know what else I just thought about and this has nothing to do with Michael B. Jordan. What's your man having a whole other family?
Starting point is 00:35:58 No, shut up. Don't. Why do you speak stuff like that over me? I did? You want me to be in here crying on a radio under the table because your time has came and past. I said something out loud? Yes, you did, honey.
Starting point is 00:36:10 I thought something, but I'm happy you got your family back now. You're going to ruin mine. That's crazy. I don't know anything to your mind. Speak, I was thinking, I was, he is, he messed my home thing up. When we come back, we got front page news with Mimi Brown, and Eric Sherman will be joining us this hour.
Starting point is 00:36:25 It's the world's most dangerous morning to show the breakfast club. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning, show the breakfast club. Charlemagne de God, Jess Alarious. DJ Envy is off the day, but it's time for front page news with Mimi Brown. Good morning, Mimi. Good morning, Shalermane. Lauren and Jess, how y'all doing this morning? Good morning, girl.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Good morning, Lauren. Good morning. All right, so we start this hour with growing backlash from some of the biggest names in music, and this time, Siza is calling out the White House directly. So she's slamming the administration for using her song, Big Boy, in a pro-ice video, calling the move evil and boring.
Starting point is 00:36:58 The White House paired the viral track, originally a sketch from SNL, with footage of ICE agents making arrests, captioning the video. We heard it's cuffing. season. So if you're not familiar with the video or the song, let's listen to a little snippet. trying to provoke artists into spreading propaganda. Now, the White House, they also responded by thanking Siza,
Starting point is 00:37:43 saying her criticism only brought more attention to ICE's work. And she's not the only artist speaking up last week. Sabrina Carpenter blasted the administration for using her hit, Juno, in another ICE-themed video calling it evil and disgusting and telling the White House to keep her music out of inhumane agendas. So now Siza, Sabrina Carpenter, they all join a long list of artists from Beyonce, Bad Bunny, Celine Dion to just the food fighters who have all
Starting point is 00:38:10 publicly told the Trump administration to stop using their music. Yeah, I mean the crazy part is that's all you can do. You can send them seats and desist. They don't care because I don't know if it's legal or not, but they definitely think the juice is worth to squeeze. It's just like when Republicans use us in campaigns. Like, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:26 they use this out of context for that trans ad during, you know, Kamala Harris's campaign. And then, you know, here in New Jersey, the Republican that was running for governor used when I questioning Mikey Sherrill and she answered the question terribly. I mean, it's all fair game, I guess, but you know,
Starting point is 00:38:42 I don't know what you can do about it legally. Do you think that that stuff is even effective anymore? Because now people, you've seen people call them out so much, you know that that don't mean that the person's really supporting that. Like, do people really believe, like, oh, sisters with the White House? You know how many people would be online talking about, they use Charlemagne and the Republican
Starting point is 00:38:58 campaign? Do you look at the context? Do you look at the context? You're different, Charlemagne. They've been thinking you was MAGA. Yeah, but how am I I ask a Democratic question. They answer the question horribly and then they get used in an ad for answering the question. I don't know what it is about you, but baby, don't Fox News people love you.
Starting point is 00:39:13 And by the way, and Mikey Cheryl won too, by the way. To your point, I don't know how effective it is. It is their message. But no, I feel what you're saying. I think they do have to come out and say, no, I don't approve of this because people
Starting point is 00:39:27 will run with it. So, yeah, absolutely. All right, well, now to Florida where a story involving a Philadelphia, a Philadelphia youth program is getting a lot of attention and raising a lot of concern. Now, eight players, ages 13 to 15, they are now facing felony charges after deputies say they stole more than $2,000 worth of merchandise from a dick sporting goods over the weekend. Now, the team was in Florida for a national championship tournament when this happened. So investigators say surveillance video shows the group splitting up inside the store,
Starting point is 00:39:59 with one group going to make a purchase, while the other appear to load unpaid outside. items into a Dick's sporting goods shopping bag. The deputies say three teens walked out with the merchandise and they were stopped outside while the other five were arrested inside the store. Philadelphia's Juvenile Justice Center, they say that none of the boys had prior criminal histories, but the sheriff there in Florida. They released a surveillance video of the teens. They released that publicly and described what happened and what some are calling an unusual
Starting point is 00:40:30 press conference. Let's listen to some of what the sheriff had. to say. Now, not only did they still 47 items, but ostensibly they may have caused their team the championship and the football game, because I don't know if these all were starters or not, but I can tell you that we were finishers. We arrested them, and we put them in lockup. So when we notify the coach who is responsible for them, you would think he would be, interested in holding them accountable and responsible, instead he goes to the deputies and begs them not to take these young men into custody. And then when we said no, then they go to Dick's
Starting point is 00:41:15 sporting goods to the manager and said, oh, don't charge them, don't charge them. They were not taking bubble gum. They stole over $2,000 worth of products. Well, these kids, they were in Florida for a football championship tournament. Their coach said that he knew something was wrong when he went to wake up the team for the morning prayer and he realized that eight of them were missing. Minutes later, he got a call for him to come to the store. He now says that he hopes that this moment
Starting point is 00:41:48 will not define their future but also serve as a wake-up call. Let's listen to some of what the coach had to say. Not only surprised but very disappointed, I just hope that they take this as a lesson learned, you know, and realize that, like, actions have consequences. and actions also affect not just you but those around you. I agree with the coach 100%. You know what I mean? I'm sure this won't be something that
Starting point is 00:42:09 stains their legacy long term, but yeah, they got to deal with the consequences of their actions. Yeah. Well, the boys will now have to return to Florida to face charges, including felony retail theft and conspiracy to commit retail theft. So we'll see what happens. Again, they were 13 to 15 years old and they're now back in Philly, but we'll have to return back to
Starting point is 00:42:31 Florida soon to face those charges. What do you do when you see somebody shoplifting, Mimi? Like, if you was in the store right now and you saw somebody shoplifting? Mama business. I know that's right. I do, too. I mean, I actually be like, God bless them. I hope they don't have to continue doing that.
Starting point is 00:42:44 And then I start stealing with them. That happened to my wife yesterday. She was like, I'm in the store right now. And these girls are in here stealing like crazy. It's the holidays. It is. People be neat. I mean, that's a bad thing to do.
Starting point is 00:42:58 But there are people who don't have any other way, I guess. Yeah, no for sure. Is that the right way to think about that? My grandma just told me, be careful what I said. And then, Lauren, remember, um, amy me? I don't know if y'all did this out in L.A., but remember all the boosters. What you mean? Remember all the boosters?
Starting point is 00:43:13 I know, but I'm not no more. You know, I remember all the boosters. I remember all. I remember them, and they don't barely exist no more. They know, I retired. Shoot. I was the top booster. I was, man, I was the one stealing, stealing all types of shit and baby moms in the hood.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Lord have mercy. What else we got, maybe? And I was the aunt that would buy from you. All right, let me start by asking y'all a question. When is the last time you made a new friend? And I mean, an actual friend. Not someone that you follow on Instagram and never speak to again. Lauren, I'm going to ask you, when is the last time you made a new friend, like a real friend?
Starting point is 00:43:45 Probably when I started working here. That was like my last, like, group of, like, real new friends. Okay. All right, all right. Well, Jess, what about you? The last time you made a real friend? Same. Same?
Starting point is 00:43:57 Aw, you're so sweet. Okay. I'm sad because I lost a lot of friends. So, like, it feels good to make new ones, but I don't have any now. Well, like, nearly 40% of Americans say they haven't made a new friend in over a year. They say that it's because the average person, they don't have a time anymore, and it just gets work, school, everything gets in the way. And they say it doesn't stop there. And when you do have those friends, the average person only spends one-on-one time with their existing friends about seven times a year.
Starting point is 00:44:30 And so that's not even like once a month. So researchers say a lot of this traces back to the pandemic. People got used to staying home. And for many, they don't use that social muscle anymore and it hasn't fully bounced back. But people say that people want connection. They're just out of practice. So they suggest group activities, trips, classes, game nights, an easier way, a low-pressure way to rebuild those friendships. So if you haven't, if you've been feeling like your friend circle isn't growing or even reconnecting feels tough, the numbers say that you aren't alone.
Starting point is 00:44:59 just one and four Americans say that they they've made a new friend in the past year. One of the last time you had a new friend. I don't know. I'm good with the three friends that I have. I know that's right. I know that's right. Show name. Where are your friends? I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:45:15 I don't really know. Like a real friend is different than like just meeting people. You talk about you every day. I meet mad people every day. But, you know, friends are the people that you talk to for no reason. And you spend quality time, but I don't, I don't freaking know. I really don't know It's hard
Starting point is 00:45:32 It's hard to make friends as an adult I think that's the The whole premise of the study Right You know you can make them When your kids But as an adult It's hard to find quality people
Starting point is 00:45:41 And you might be an adult Who had friends for a long time And then they just start getting weird Exactly That's what I'm saying Go ahead get it off your chest I don't got nothing to get off my chest My life is great
Starting point is 00:45:53 Right But what he said was definitely right You have friends Since a child Like people that you grew up that, or not even grew up, but it was just like, you've been known for 20 years,
Starting point is 00:46:02 your whole adult life, and then they just start getting weird and acting stupid, and then they don't appreciate you. Then you're looking at, yeah, just, yeah. Thank you, you, you get off your chest too. Yeah, Lauren. Yeah, it's a whole therapy session.

No, it's just not ridiculous. I'm going to tell you what I said was the truth. I never kept. So what I did say was the truth, how it went down.
Starting point is 00:47:54 You know, because, again, me and to his friends, I love me to the death. I would never put do something to try to disrespect her because behind the scenes I gave her the number to call Alex and she wrote in the text to oh yeah um if it wasn't for Eric I wouldn't even reached out she told Alex no about the documentary so I wouldn't even did that if I was trying to disrespect her on that was just giving my story to what I said me and her are sitting in the car she in the driver's seat. She's in the driver's seat, right? So if something was going on, I wouldn't be in the car
Starting point is 00:48:31 talking. You know what I'm saying? I'll be, you know, whatever. So somebody knocked on my window, and it was him. He's deady. So of course, he goes with her now. So of course, anybody will be angry and be mad because that's his girl. Wasn't it your car? Yeah, but I'm saying
Starting point is 00:48:47 as far as him being angry. No, I don't know. She's sitting in a driver's seat. He snuffed you. He never touched me. Come on. Stop and now. Stop. Come on. This me. Okay, um, he, when I got out the car, he was angry, so he swung on me. Oh, so you did get out of the car. Yeah, I got out of the car, right. He can't swing in the car in the window.
Starting point is 00:49:08 He made it seem like, he swung on you. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I got the car. And we started talking. Then he swung on me. So now at the end of the day, me being respectful, knowing that, too, I didn't want to do that in front of her. Because he swung on you, you just swing back, E? Listen, Envy, you understand.
Starting point is 00:49:26 dragged him. I'm asking, why didn't you swing back? Because of the respect of her. Was Misa in the car? So Misa was in the car? She got out the car. She said she got, well... So you told her get out and told D. No, I told her to get out. She's got out. Of course you're going to get out. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:39 We see people talking. You know what I don't forget? Don't forget. He's yelling. You know what I'm saying? So, but me and him is also friends, though, too. Don't forget. I was in the intro of the Mary J. Blage album. Yeah. Right? So automatically. And then he had come and talk to me too, which is E. so I had to get the clearance for that or two. So we was already, you know, kind of friends.
Starting point is 00:50:01 He befriended me. So it wasn't like, I'm like, yo, I couldn't believe that it happened to begin with. So my thing was, let's go around the corner. So we won't have to do that in front of my friend, and you're angry. So y'all really was cool. I was cool.
Starting point is 00:50:18 So that's like me and envy getting into something. Right. See, that's not how the story look on. Again, on Netflix, it looks crazy. So, let me fix the other part about the Biggie Smalls. Of course Biggie Smalls is not out yet. So it's new music. So when somebody says, oh, it don't add up with the baby and this not being born.
Starting point is 00:50:39 I'm saying, no, it was new music. So again, after you finish going around the corner, you calm down now because now there's no reason for you to get hype now because now this situation is all calm. So now, like, yo, check this out. And then we talked about Keith Murray. because he was a big Keith Murray fan. So he was like, yo, Eric, what's what about? I'm like, Keith Murray signed to me. So again, the conversation that people don't know about,
Starting point is 00:51:05 this is what happened. So what was the ride around the corner? Like, when he got in the car, what did y'all talk about as y'all was driving around the corner? No, we were just thinking about nothing, so we stopped. So y'all stopped and realized we don't really want to fight. It was never going to get there for him, you know? Y'all had already talked outside the car and kind of cooled it down, is what you're saying?
Starting point is 00:51:21 No. Oh, so, wasn't it cool. Can I please ask, God damn. All right, hold up. why was she driving your truck she didn't drive it why was she in the driver seat of your truck that's his girl
Starting point is 00:51:32 no I just she just wanted to be in the driver's seat oh what kind of truck was it it was a what I had was a forerunner and she just wanted to be so you wasn't trying to get her back or nothing
Starting point is 00:51:44 nah let her hop in the driver seat nah what I'm trying to do that all right and so when she got out y'all left her just right there she was in front of her crib oh all right so this was at the crib. I didn't know we up. Oh yeah, we parked in front of the crib.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Right. I'm like, why would you go around to another location outside? No, no, no, no. We spent in front of our house. All right. So what was this? Was the song in you tonight? No, would you stop? This was ready to die. You know, party in bull's
Starting point is 00:52:13 thinking about it. Let me tell you about with Puff. I was just telling my story. You know, it wasn't like I was trying to even diss him either. Don't forget, Puppie came and got I keep married for every remix, every song, he called me for Joyce's remix. So if you were angry with somebody,
Starting point is 00:52:33 I wouldn't be getting phone calls. He called for Red Man. He called every time something came out on Bad Boy, one of my artists was somebody who he called, or he called me to remix it. So, again, I understand how it might look, but it wasn't like, that's why I couldn't wait to get here. Y'all was friends.
Starting point is 00:52:53 I get it. Now I get it. The next question is why the documentary? Because I didn't see that bit on my bingo card. When I seen the documentary and I see Eric, I see Eric. Eric, so who reached out for the documentary and why did you decide to do it? They asked me the questions. You know how 50 is, again, I had 50 with Bernard in the beginning.
Starting point is 00:53:11 You know, don't forget, Corey Rooney brought 50 cent to my crib next door, like walked over with him. Be like, yo, here's my artist, whatever. I end up doing heat wave, you know, and I end up doing a couple of other songs, though, too. So I'm also friends with him, too. So when they ask me the question, I'm like, yo, okay, I do it. Not knowing it was going to be, you know how you put stuff together. I told a couple of stories, Envy. This is a story that they end up keeping, you know?
Starting point is 00:53:37 So again, I'm not here to, Envy, you, if anybody knows me, it's you. That's what I said. He was very surprised. And you know my crew, and you know me as far as just how I roll. Again, the end of the day, I'm not trying to debunk or make everything sound nice or whatever. it is, people don't know the friendship of Misa and me, and him.
Starting point is 00:54:02 We was actually friends. And I would never ever put Misa in a situation on that, and I said friends. I didn't say we was like that and we was doing all that. That was my friend. You know? Because we never really put together as being boyfriend and girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:54:17 It was just like a friend thing. Have you talked to it? Yeah. Have you talked to? Yeah. Have you talk to me? Okay now. And this is the part that, again, at the end of the day I didn't, I was at Art Basel. I heard that she was there, but I didn't see her out. But again, I know she
Starting point is 00:54:33 wasn't going to pick up my phone call because again, you have to let somebody calm down and be like, whatever, and see, because she was getting so much stuff, whatever, but she texted my best friend, Bernard and didn't say some nice things. Of course not, you know. So again, but it was in the beginning.
Starting point is 00:54:49 You know what I'm saying? So hopefully, you know, she sees this and then I'll be able to talk to her, you know, and say, you know, I didn't mean to do nothing to her because she is my friend I guess I guess what this new generation every every man on that doc looks like a victim yeah you know what I'm saying you got guys on their talk about I know that but I'm saying you got guys on their talk about they they butt got touched and everything so when people see you on the dock they're like yeah I wasn't too yeah I'm crazy like I didn't belong there you know
Starting point is 00:55:18 when you see everybody after you see the doc I know you was like yo I didn't belong to your envy I swear I want to we want Superman going around the world again, be like, you know what, I can rewind this all back. You know what I'm saying? And do it over because everybody who saw said the same shit, what is Eric doing in that documentary?
Starting point is 00:55:37 You know? But at the end of the day it's like this, I can't even take this though too. Since 19 whatever 89, though, Jess, the 90, this is my first time being this on fire. Like, really? No, it's not. Just like music.
Starting point is 00:55:53 No, no. No. No. I'm still. No, no, that's... You reinvented yourself so many times? Yes, Sondon, let's explain what you need. Let's tell me, one second. I'm telling you, man, this right here is a different type. Like, I felt like, nah, I'm telling you. Like, this is the whole world.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Like, you couldn't have a hit record and be around the world, but you're talking about 23 countries, number one Netflix. 49 countries. Yeah, okay, whatever. Yep, number one. You got to adjust. All this, and then the album coming at the same time, I'm number one, you know, on iTunes.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Like, I didn't have this, though. I don't want them to know you for the docket. Not that story. That story sounds crazy. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, listen, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying as far as me being, listen, I don't want to be hot for that neither. I'm saying, but it did, it helped the project of dynamic duels.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Nala, our niece, she comes up paying. I told her one time, next time I'm in Queens, I'm going to take it to some of the big spots of Queens, L.L.'s house to rock and all that. So we're going to drive out to Long Island and go to East House. The reason I said that is the first mansion I ever been to and seen was Eric Sermontaghan. Yeah, why you always bring that up? Because it's inspiring. Yeah, but then he forced on me on the last interview. You said, yeah, Eric, but now I got one too.
Starting point is 00:57:05 But it was inspiring because he let me in his house and you're seeing where Keith Murray made records and with Red Man made records where he produced, you see the landscape. And I'm like, black people could really have magic. It meant so much. So I always wanted to know when it came to that, we've made. never heard Eric Serman having financial problems, but I've never heard. Right. What did you do differently than most of these people in industry?
Starting point is 00:57:33 Because you always hear, this person lost this. This person, I mean, you even see Dame who just went into court for bankruptcy or whatever it was. He went to court for. How can we never heard that with you? Like, what made you different? Again, I watched Parrish in the beginning get houses early.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Paris was already getting houses early before me. You know what I'm saying? So he was always already into real estate. So then when I was able to to get some bread after the breakup, because doing the breakup, I really didn't have that much money, you know, with EPMD.
Starting point is 00:58:04 They didn't really make that much money during EPMD days? I didn't have it, you know, but I didn't have it. And plus I was young. Like Russell gave, he came and got us from Fresh Records, he'd spend the $1.6 million to get us, but again, we didn't see it. And then we taught a lot, though, too.
Starting point is 00:58:23 So I was able to get me a career, and get me a bins, you know. But it was like I didn't really see anything as far as bank account type situations until I moved to Atlanta and the group broke up. And once the group broke up, I started buying all type of shit
Starting point is 00:58:38 and I wasn't even living in the cribs. And I was getting apartments, getting houses, whatever this doing whatever at the time. All of a sudden, though, envy, you see what I was doing. I had so many groups and so many places. I think Angie Martinez had said one time, how does it ever get all these deals? because I was going to the labels winning.
Starting point is 00:58:57 So it wasn't like I was going there and taking money. So that means Reggie was winning there. Keep Murray winning that jive. You know, Dave Hollister was winning at, you know, at DreamWorks. You know, I had people. Fonsor Hunter was at EMI. You know, then I bet the death squad came out. Then Redd and Meth came out.
Starting point is 00:59:13 You know what I mean? Deals I had, how much up for money I was getting. You know, but that was parish. More too. But I ended up selling my half, which is, I don't know why I did that at the time, but I gave 40% this and that, that. And then Clive Davis came, you know?
Starting point is 00:59:32 You know, that was $4 million. This is like, you know, again, at the end of the day, it was like, it just kept doing what it was doing. Kadar Marsenberg at one time, too. So it was the fact that it didn't publish what you see now. Don't forget I never sold because I didn't have to. So now, at the end of the day, the publishing is doing what it is.
Starting point is 00:59:52 and you probably saw the post after so many years Weekend does I don't want to know by you know whatever 1.9 billion streams 1.9 billion streams brings you $250,000
Starting point is 01:00:10 every quarter. So every quarter you get $250,000 for them sample of you. Jesus Christ. For 4% on one record. So this is what I try to tell people. I never told the people to flex. I was trying to tell, artists, like you said, if you have your publishing and you own it,
Starting point is 01:00:26 here's what can feed you like a 401k or some type of retirement type of thing if you own your publishing. But I get it. If you don't have the money, you have to sell it. And people are cashing in for the big money. I understand that $200 million. I'm going to do the same thing, too, if I was Dre and Neo and Dream and all them. I do it too.
Starting point is 01:00:44 But again, but in the small scheme of things, I never had to do that. So when I sit back and I be at home and years go, I took off 12 years because I was on drug for 12 years so again at the end of the day them Perkinsets had me at home anyway you know what I'm saying? So this is 12 years of being
Starting point is 01:01:04 able to sit down because you got publishing checks from all that music that I was able to do was able to have me sit down. That's how I live and be without me doing work is publishing. Eric how did you get hooked on Perkinset? Perkins was when you know
Starting point is 01:01:19 well when I had that thing in 2001 when they said I fell from the window. That was my first time on Vicodin. Do you ever tell the story of that? You never told a story that? Yeah, I mean, people know it wasn't that. You know, I was in the wrong place, the wrong time. They said it was suicide and everything.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Yeah, it was suicide. But Vicodon is what you get first. That's why I said Michael Jackson, it was the pills before he got to proffer for, whatever. But I had the Vicodon first. Once I had the Vicodon, I'm like, you know what? This is cool. So I was off of the Vicodon. Once I got better, 2009, I had back surgery.
Starting point is 01:01:56 As far as like one of the L-5s or whatever, my nerves had wrapped around my spine. So it had numb my whole from my balls all the way down to my legs was all numb. So I was 72 hours away from nerve damage on that. Right? What's wrong with you? He ain't got to say, pause.
Starting point is 01:02:18 You're talking about medical treatment. We clearly just talking about bulls. So it's just, it's not right. Sorry. Sorry, sorry. We're a child. We're a kid, man. Talking about his addiction.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Wait. See that. Oh, man. Go ahead, he. Don't listen to me. I'm stupid. So they gave me 120 progen sets. Damn.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Right. So the bottle is this tall. Mm-hmm. So, so it's 120. So for the first two days, I didn't fuck with him, you know? Because I didn't know where there was. I wasn't, I'm like, where the vice. than that, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 01:02:50 But then the pain started. So now I take the percocets. Now the pain stopped, but I like the feeling. Not for that, it was over. He's a 10 years? 12. How did you finally get off? I went to rehab in 2022.
Starting point is 01:03:04 Thank God. What you in rehab? Was it? Me. Thank God. And I didn't go to no celebrity rehab. I went to a rehab upstate with regular people. And they talk about it, too.
Starting point is 01:03:13 They hit me on the things like, you can't believe you was in here the whole nine because I figured if I went to one celebrity ones, you allowed to leave. And so they say if Solomon is a fan, I could ask him to get me some progress and he'd get it for me. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:03:26 So again, this place was really kind of locked down. They really didn't play. It was a girl and a guy situation. So it was 22 girls upstairs and 40 men downstairs. So every day you go to a class from 7 to 8. So you have classes and you have people who come in on Tuesdays and talk for you. So you couldn't leave at all?
Starting point is 01:03:47 No, no leave. So during that time you couldn't produce, you couldn't do night. Because there's none of that. Just reflect. Because the first five days is you doing detox and you're doing, what's that? That's that they use for whatever. They give you that for the first four days and after that you start rehabbing.
Starting point is 01:04:01 How was detox? And not having that after having it for 12 years. The four days is crazy because you get the shit called. The buchs? Yeah, well, it's restless legs. So your leg is kicking and then your arm starts kicking. So you can't sleep. So now I'm up for 72 hours doing this.
Starting point is 01:04:19 this, arm punching like a step forward. Welcome to Decoding Women's Health. I'm Dr. Elizabeth Pointer, chair of Women's Health and Gynecology at the Adria Health Institute in New York City.

It can be such a struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it? The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything. I never used to forget things.

Starting point is 01:05:22 It's not just a city. I didn't really have an interest of being on air. I kind of was up there to just try and infiltrate the building. It's where Kronk was born in a club in the West End. Four world star. It was five, five, nine. Where a tiny bar birthed a generation of rap stars, where preachers go viral,
Starting point is 01:05:39 and students at the HBCU turned heartbreak into resurrection. How do you get people to believe in something that's dead? Where Dream was brought Hollywood to the south. and hustlers bring their visions to create black wealth. Nobody's rushing into relationships with you. Where are you from? They want to look in the eye. Where the future is nostalgia.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Talk to my chat, GPT. She's like, you really did first lady to have a gayful girl's tape in Atlanta, Georgia. Like, that's what separates you from a lot of people. And I'm like, oh, what, you're right. Atlanta doesn't wait for permission. It builds its own spotlight. I'm big rude. Let us guide you through the stories behind Atlanta's most iconic moments.

Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets. We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother. And I said, what? What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is shoes and identity that other people can't have.
Starting point is 01:07:41 I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened. These are just a few of the moving and important stories I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets. Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one or just joining the Family Secrets family, we're so happy to have you with us. I'll dive deep into the incredible power of secrets, the ones that shape our identities, test our relationships, and ultimately reveal who we truly are. Listen to Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know the shade is always Shadiest right here. Season 6 of the podcast Reasonably Shady with Jazele Bryan and Robin Dixon is here dropping every Monday. As two of the founding members of the Real Housewives Potomac were giving you all the laughs, drama, and reality news you can handle.
Starting point is 01:08:44 And you know we don't hold back. So come be reasonable or shady. with us each and every Monday, I was going through a walk in my neighborhood. Out of the blue, I see this huge sign next to somebody's house. Okay. The sign says, my neighbor is a Karen. Oh, no way. I died laughing.
Starting point is 01:09:11 I'm like, I have to know. You are lying. You, my guess, y'all. They had some time on their hands. hand. Listen to reasonably shady from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Sometimes I used to get emotional, but again, not now, but your leg is kicking
Starting point is 01:09:31 and your arm is kicking. It's called Restless Legs. So that happens in the beginning. So now they want you to take some shit called Suboxin, but Suboxone is another drug. So I was not going to put myself back on something else to calm this down. I never understood why they do that in rehab. They'll give you something else, another drug to wane you off the one that you want.
Starting point is 01:09:51 But it has the same thing. So if I were to came home, I would have been on that. So I'm like, fucking, I just wait, 702 hours, this and that, whatever, whatever. So I end up taking some vinergeral out of everything, too, to put me to sleep after the 72 hours and that work. After that, it was pretty cool. I was just going through it.
Starting point is 01:10:07 But then they tell you, don't go back into your environment. That means if you go back home, that driveway is going to remind me of my dealer coming to my driveway. If I go around the corner that store is going to mind me because I always had them meet me somewhere. My kids didn't know. My kids didn't find out. They ain't know nothing for a while.
Starting point is 01:10:26 All of a sudden, though, I mean, I'm looking at this situation like, yo, I can't get out of here because, again, I'm going to have to go someplace else because if I stay here, it's going to call. Right after that, my mother's in stage five. Oh, wow. So now for the whole year, I'm taking
Starting point is 01:10:42 care of her. Now, I don't post to be in that environment. Because now, I'm gonna get stress and the first thing I'm gonna run to is her purpose but my mother said if you do that I'm not gonna make it so once she said that there's no way I'm gonna touch the pill oh so you was talking to her about the challenges you were facing well well she no she's not that she just knew that I came up from rehab and I wasn't supposed to be in that environment or any type of stressful environment she knew that but again I had to take care of her you know so at the end of the day so once that happened from June to
Starting point is 01:11:15 made when she passed away, right? My mother was so ill because my mother knew that how it was going to hurt me for me to see her die. Yeah. So I got the call from Kanye West to go produce. I knew I was leaving that week, Charlemagne. All of a sudden,
Starting point is 01:11:30 she tells my sister, tell Eric to get on the plane and don't miss that opportunity. She's dying, and she's like, you know, well, go do that. So I go on the plane, I land me and B. As soon as I land, he passed me the phones, my sister, My mother's transitioned.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Kanye called and says, Eric, it happened to me too. My aunt called me. Don't worry about that. Come to the studio tomorrow. So when he's talking about Yeh, too, he was there for me. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:57 You know, so that whole seven months with him had me off of what does happen. Even though I went home to bury my mother, I went home and buried her. I flew to Italy where he was at, you know. So we worked in Italy, and I came back home again. And after that, whatever,
Starting point is 01:12:14 I knew that it had left me because believe me those shit called it's called pause post acute stress or something whatever where you get the symptoms
Starting point is 01:12:28 of it calling you Chris Rock post acute withdrawal syndrome there you go it's calling you so now it's like okay well damn you know how can I get this but I know I don't want to do this
Starting point is 01:12:41 but something's going to have to stop me because if not, that pause is coming in. I always wondered, man, for the people who don't know, Eric Sermon discovered Red Man, you heard him mention Keith Murray. I always wondered if EPMD doesn't break up. Do we still get Red Man and Keith Murray?
Starting point is 01:12:57 Jesus Christ, man. Of course, because Reggie was there. Okay, okay. Murray was there too, but I can imagine the five years. Don't figure, this is Headbinger and Crossover. And we out. So imagine the five years in between,
Starting point is 01:13:11 I wonder what would have happened, you know? Was there other groups that would have came? Was the Wu-Tang and the chronic would have been, you know, able to, you know, the rain that we had. Was Ki-Marie would have been the new added addition at that moment. Now we, oh, my God, you know, another one, you know, so five years in between. I asked that question all the time. I wonder what it would happen. How's Keith what I do.
Starting point is 01:13:38 And illegal. People forget about it. Yeah, with Jamal. Yeah, Jamal. Yeah, Jamal. Oh. Jamal is a elite. Yeah, this right here is going to sound crazy,
Starting point is 01:13:45 but I need to make sure that we got clickbaits. So start something up real quick. No, he did. Seems you know what I'm saying. All of the young people here, when they talk about the Diddy Doc, they'd be like, oh, man, I ain't know Diddy was messing with dudes. So they'd be like, Little Rod, Kurt, Eric Sherman.
Starting point is 01:14:02 I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you ain't watched the doctor if you say Eric Serbian. I never heard nobody say Eric Serbian. It's just the perception of the doc because the guy that's... No, I'm serious. Listen to me, Eric. Eric, listen to me.
Starting point is 01:14:15 It's the perception of the dot. He's crazy. It's a perception of the dot. I'm not even mad. He's my friend, but just. E double, we appreciate you for doing this. Eric can confuse himself. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:14:27 Hey, go, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait. Wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no. No, listen, no, because now you usually do a lot more, and I feel like I'm getting shorted. When Diddy drove you around the corner. Say, was he in the backseat?
Starting point is 01:14:42 What did he? Okay, thank you, brother. I love it. I love it. No, I love you. I love you. We heard it with a coup. Peace.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Peace. We love you. Thank you. We love you. Bye. Bye, bye, bye. It's the breakfast club, good morning. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, the breakfast club. Salute to Eric Sermin for pulling up, man.
Starting point is 01:15:04 Make sure you go check out that dynamic duels, volume one. And if you want to watch him on the Didi documentary on Netflix, The Reckoning, just know he wasn't a victim. Now it's time for the latest with Lauren LaRosa. Lauren Becoming a straight fan. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail. I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this.
Starting point is 01:15:28 The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On the breakfast club. Talk to me. L.L. Cool, Bay. What we got?
Starting point is 01:15:39 Yes. So I know we had Eric, or had Eric Sherman on the show. This morning talking about the story that he told in the Diddy Doc. Now that story, and I have a clip of it here, him speaking on Mesa. Let's take a listen to the story he told. I thought it was a general friendship until I see that this game is being played. You got an agenda. Mesa, he was trying to court her after we broke up.
Starting point is 01:16:07 Sean wants her because Eric was that dude. It was about I got her. I won her over from him. He had to have the girl. And Sean has a way about when he gets you, he got you. And now you become property. Meena was just friends, but he wanted to make sure that there was no calling and me being friends with that girl. Sean's jealousy, it got to the point where he would put his hands on her.
Starting point is 01:16:34 Right outside of Uptown Records, they're fighting in the street, and he's beating her into the car well. She's on the ground. And people are pulling him off her from her from her. and separating her a year or two later they're still together and Justin is born Now those are two voices
Starting point is 01:16:51 so the story about Misa and Diddy taking Misa from someone because he wanted the girl but they were friends that's Eric Sermin. The other allegations about the domestic violence is Kirk Burroughs who was one of the creators with Diddy of Bad Boy
Starting point is 01:17:07 But and he said Diddy touch his butt allegedly? I spoke to Misa who also you know heard the interview as well and she gave me a statement that she wanted me to read on air she says i do not have anything to say except i didn't deserve any of this and this documentary has caused a negative impact on my life puffy and i ended our relationship in the 90s and i never look back outside of co-parenting and issues that affect my son or my creative contribution i don't speak
Starting point is 01:17:32 on puffy also for eric to encourage she's talking about eric sermon to encourage a false and forced narrative that puff wanted me because of him is not only a lie but delusional he didn't know me from Eric. Puff and I are both from Mount Vernon. Tell him to keep, she's speaking to Eric. Tell him to keep my name out of his mouth before he opens up a can of worms. It's sad that a legendary producer and artist is now speaking on another man's life and a doc that
Starting point is 01:17:54 has included false statements that are damaging to me and my son. Damn. Yeah, so I know he said he was trying to give her some time to cool down, but I think he just need to keep on. What's up? What's up did he wanting to date everybody's girl, though? You know, it's like he was
Starting point is 01:18:10 looking to collect DNA in whatever way he could. You know what I'm saying? She's not a part of that conversation But I know I saw 50 Cent yesterday On the Sherry Shepard's show And he said that he actually left out video Of a story about one of Diddy's daughter's mom Chance's mom
Starting point is 01:18:26 Who was dating Tupac before Diddy Let's take a listen to 50 Cent Now, you know, because this is a lot of the personal footage Of Diddy. It shocked a lot of people And I know 50, the way you run This cannot be all that you have Is there other stuff that you just have not shown Yeah, well, everything couldn't make the, it was four episodes.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Right. So it was a lot, you had to pick and choose things, like even in, like, an area where he chooses to date people who he knows previously dated someone. He has a baby by a woman that was dating Tupac. Wow. To add to it, but we had to cut it down. For time. So are you coming out? I know next year is going to be a number two.
Starting point is 01:19:07 Season two? Or I just put it on YouTube. I just put on YouTube. Yes. I knew that story. Yeah, I mean, but a lot of, like we've talked about this before, a lot of the stories in the doc, you know, I think 50 cent just platformed it where people are now paying attention. It's just such weird old behavior to just want to date, you know what I'm saying, all these other guys, women. It's like, Diddy was just out here looking to collect other men's DNA.
Starting point is 01:19:28 It's almost like, let me look into this vagina and see if he left anything in here. That is nasty. As nastier than him actually collecting semen? We saw the doc, allegedly. But when you put it that way, Charlemagne, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, you know. a heck of a headline. I mean, yeah, it is crazy. Well, moving on from DNA and other men's semen.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Heading on over to the West Coast, since we're talking about Tupac. The game sat down with Shannon Sharp on Club Shay-Shay. He says that he's the best rapper on the West Coast and out of Compton. Let's take a listen. You still the best rapper from Compton? I'm definitely the best rapper from Compton.
Starting point is 01:20:06 Definitely? Definitely. Who's the best rap on the West Coast today? Game. Now, that'll quit? Yeah, it ain't. yeah that's it ain't nobody getting at you
Starting point is 01:20:15 can't nobody out rap me man and anybody that knows anybody that knows will know because people can't even if you are like no one can do what I can do like no one has my skill set
Starting point is 01:20:24 because not only am I do I have the ability to rap circles around people I'm also with all the bullshit too if it came down to that so it's like
Starting point is 01:20:36 I'm yeah I'm the best rapper in this town damn game I mean the OG man some OG some heavy weights. I mean, Cube, Snoop. I love Cube, but Cube can't outwrap me.
Starting point is 01:20:47 I love Cube. And by the way, the reason that Cube can't outwrap me is because I use Cubes, you know, I use Cube's legacy to help me sharpen. I use Snoop's legacy to help me sharpen myself. First of all, how else is he supposed to feel? Period.
Starting point is 01:21:03 About his lyrical ability. Second of all, game is a rapping-ass raffle. And I don't care what era he's in. Game would be competitive and be one of those ones. I ain't talking about popularity. I'm not talking about record sales. I'm not talking about who's hot. I'm just talking about straight lyrical ability.
Starting point is 01:21:19 Yes, game can talk that talk. Absolutely. And have you heard the new gangster grills? Every movie needs a trailer? I haven't heard that yet. Oh, my God. Drop one of clues bombs for DJ Drama and Game. Drama and Game got busy on this.
Starting point is 01:21:32 I haven't heard that yet, but I think where people get game messed up is because he speaks on so many other things and is in the news and all these things for things outside of just his bars. That man can rap. People get them a little messed up. Game is an MC.
Starting point is 01:21:46 Period. Bottom line, point blank, period. He's in any lyrical rap debate. Okay, how you feel about him personally? Once again, I ain't talking about popularity. I ain't talk about none of this stuff in the, I'm just talking about rapping skills, rapping ability.
Starting point is 01:21:58 Yes, game is one of them once. So who, if he did a versus, who would he send? Who would he send out? They asked him about that in the interview. Or Shannon Sharp does, and he says he could only battle 50 cents. Who? Game? Yeah, Game says he could only... Hey, Jess, welcome back, girl.
Starting point is 01:22:15 What's up, yo? What's up? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know about no verses. I'm talking about just rap. I'm talking about picking up a microphone and spitting bars. Yes, game is one of them once. Period. Absolutely. Well, that's what she said, though. That is a law that makes you think. Who could he battle in the verses?
Starting point is 01:22:34 50 would be the one? What you think about that, Shaw? Just who would you think? I haven't even thought about it. I'm not even thinking about verses. I'm just talking about rapping. And by the way, I've been listening to that Gangsta Grills Every movie needs a trailer for the last couple of days Like that Game and drama got busy on that
Starting point is 01:22:50 But just rapping Yes, game is a rapping ass rapper He is a super lyrical miracle MC He wanted him ones Yes, he is All right Well, we got to him
Starting point is 01:23:02 Go ahead game Yeah, we did Glaze it up That's it for the hour I gotta be glazed You know what I'm talking about Let's glaze it up Just did you make that noise

Starting point is 01:23:25 No, I was just on mute throat monster. No, I was just on me. Mute Throat, please. All right, four after the hour, we need Hillary Swank to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a world with her. It's the world the most dangerous morning to show the Breakfast Club. Some donkey todays just saw themselves. I haven't watched you, Charlie, man.
Starting point is 01:23:42 I was ready for old donkey and the same. I never heard of a donkey other day. What is it? Say it again, Charlemagne. I'm a donkey. Yes, you are a donkey. I'll show you how to act a donkey. Everything that Charlene is the same is true.
Starting point is 01:23:59 Yes, Donkey today for Thursday, December 11th, goes the actress Hillary Swink. You know Hillary Swink. Yes. Yes. A two-time Oscar winner. She won for Boys Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby. Well, she recently had to apologize because she snapped lashed out, berated, scolded.
Starting point is 01:24:14 What's some other words for when a white woman is in caramel and she's upset with you? Lambasted! Okay, lambasted a mother! All right, now, I was looking at this story on page six, and it was a mother named Jada Bufus. I think it's how you pronounce her last name. And Jada was taking her two terminally ill sons. Okay, she has two terminally ill sons, Mason 7 and Jack 4, and she was taking them to Disneyland for a make-a-wish trip. Okay, I repeat, Jada was taking her two terminally ill sons to Disneyland.
Starting point is 01:24:41 for a make a wish trip and she was at LAX at baggage claim and she was walking next to Hillary Swank now Jada said she did a double take on her because duh, it's Hillary Swank and you know she's a fan of her movies and stuff Jada said she did a double take and you know she took her phone out because she got distracted and was trying to find her make a wish kids
Starting point is 01:25:02 and her husband. She said I just looked like you know I was trying to call my husband and then this happened. Let me read Jada's tweet last Monday at LAX I was trying to find my son during his make a wish trip to Disney when Hillary Swank turned around and snapped at me
Starting point is 01:25:17 you got what you needed get what you came for enjoy that picture Jada says ma'am I wasn't taking a picture of you I was trying to find my two terminally ill boys at baggage claim
Starting point is 01:25:29 but thanks for poking at a stressed mom on her kids make a wish trip iconic timing because she lived here in Spokane long time ago so random now let the record show Jada needed
Starting point is 01:25:40 to let her social media followers know she met Hillary Swink okay please remember that in this thing called life everyone got their own reality show going and we all could be guest stars or extras at any moment all right Jada was sharing space with Hillary
Starting point is 01:25:53 and because of Hillary and the way she acted Hillary became a guest star in Jada's show so no so now Jada got content okay. Bontent if she's a blood Hillary said to Jada you got what you needed get what you came for enjoy that picture
Starting point is 01:26:09 and then Jada said Hillary stormed off a little bit. Well, guess what, Hillary? As you found out, Jada wasn't really thinking about you like that. Okay, yes, she did a double take, but she had her own life going on. She got two terminally ill kids. She's on a make-a-wish trip. Just because somebody noticed you, ma'am, and pulled out a phone, doesn't mean they were pulling out a phone to take a picture of you.
Starting point is 01:26:30 Okay, I know we may not realize this in 2025, but phones do other things than take pictures. People pull out phones to make calls. They pull out phones to text. They pull out poles and check the temperature. I understand, Hillary, you're a Hollywood star. Okay, won a couple of Oscars, but understand, when in a space like the airport, life is about interconnectedness, right?
Starting point is 01:26:50 Not just you being the main character, but the Hillary's credit. She clearly felt stupid, and she reached out to Jada via Instagram to apologize and explained she was worried about her twin toddlers being photographed. Understandable, understandable, but Hillary Swink, you're Hillary Swink.
Starting point is 01:27:09 If you're in public and don't want you and your family to be seen, then you have to take steps to make that happen, okay? Take the proper precautions. It doesn't mean people have to right to overstep their boundaries because folks nowadays will just walk up with the cameras out, you know, ready to take a picture, video already recording. So I understand you being on guard, okay? Those folks actually deserve to be snapped at,
Starting point is 01:27:29 but you can't just assume because a person looks at you and then pulls their phone out that they are looking to take a picture of you are with you. Okay, listen, no matter how. how famous you are and this isn't even a lesson strictly for famous folks because i don't even know what being famous means in this era but no matter how famous you are a little patience and empathy go a lot further than snapping at a stress stranger because that stress stranger is just as stressed as you are that person is looking for their kids and you worried about your kids too okay you don't know
Starting point is 01:27:58 what that person is dealing with just like she don't know what you dealing with so just take a deep breath sometime before you assume the worst because everybody not thinking about you you. Please give Hillary's wink to sweet sounds
Starting point is 01:28:10 and hamiltones Oh now you are the donkey of the day you are the donkey of the day y'all
Starting point is 01:28:26 you're not always the main character even if you won Oscars for being the main character Hey yo I remember I was in the airport
Starting point is 01:28:35 right and I did that dumbish before you. I was in the airport. I was, I was, I was however out of where. And I was just, I would have did this sober, but it was this lady, little lady walked up to him you or whatever, and she had had our phone out. And I was like, look, ma'am, I, you know, I don't want no pictures. And she was like, no, do you know where the, and she was trying to get me to ask her, like, ask for you. See that? Ain't nobody was mistaken about you. Right. And I was
Starting point is 01:28:59 like, damn, I need to humble myself, really. You know, that's the first thing. I was like, yo, I'm good. I don't want no pitches. I'm, she said, do you don't know where the baggage claim? You see what I'm saying? Yeah, if you just go down the escalator. Was this before you was Mexican? After you became Mexican by marriage? No, this was the other day. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:29:16 Oh, so you were Mexican? Okay. Was you with your Mexican family? It wasn't a Mexican lady. I think she was like Middle Eastern or something. I don't know why that accent was Spanish, but yeah, it was like an Indian lady. And I didn't know.
Starting point is 01:29:28 I just thought she was regular black when she walked up. I didn't expect for her to sound like that. And she thought I worked there. And she was asking me where it was going to the screen. You went from a man character to an extra real bad. I don't want no pictures. She thought she worked at. No.
Starting point is 01:29:41 She said I thought she was a regular black. Good for you. Good for you and Hillary Swain. I know, yo. I know. I'm sorry, Hillary. I'd do that too, yo. Now, we got just fixed my mess coming up.
Starting point is 01:29:52 1-800-585-105-1. Call up here right now. Remember, she's not an expert of anything, but she has some experiences and she can help you with some stuff, okay? That is crazy. It's the world's most dangerous morning to show the Breakfast Club. Help me.
Starting point is 01:30:03 Tell us. Maybe. It's the real deal. Help me. Help me! Oh, my God. I'm all up in your mess. I'm a fix it.
Starting point is 01:30:11 Fix it. Fix it. Just going to fix your mess because my advice is real. Good morning. Who is? Good morning. Hey, girl. How you doing?
Starting point is 01:30:20 I'm good. So, good morning, everybody else. I apologize. I have a 15-year-old daughter, and she's at that age where popping off is a common thing. And I'm trying to keep from throwing hands. Yeah. And I raised three boys, and she's my last girl. So the experience is totally different than I had with my boys.
Starting point is 01:30:47 And I had to tell her last night, your brothers never disrespected me the way that you do at time. And it's not, you know, she don't raise up at me and stuff like that. It's that so quiet disrespect, you know, the topping of the lips, the rolling out of the eyes, putting the hands on the hip, best of stuff. that make you just want to, yeah, so I need some advice. Because I check in with her all the time. I'm always available. I'm always saying what do you need.
Starting point is 01:31:17 Are you having trouble with anything? Is there anything I can do to help? But it's just like when she turns 15, she just, I don't know. The good thing about it is you say she's not raising up. She ain't trying to swell up on you. She ain't squaring up. She's not disrespectful with her words, right? Like she don't call you out your name.
Starting point is 01:31:35 She don't curse. she don't know no no that yeah so to be honest with you you probably ain't going to like this but you had three boys that you raised but this is your only girl right yes you know that's different you know they different right they you this your first girl you never had a girl before and then the tune would be different if you had girls before right so that that is different now my son is 13 he's starting to smell herself too you know what I mean but he's not disrespectful this is just a teenage phase that she's going through you know what I mean as long as she's not like on some
Starting point is 01:32:11 she need to be on Dr. Phil type you know what I'm saying this is literally just her phase this is this is what they do to be honest with you now every kid is the same I mean not the same I'm not going to say every 15 year old that but I know some worse than that some that are raising the hands at them mothers some that don't don't abide by the curfew they don't care about rules they talk back they sneak boys in the house and they they stay out all times of the night now i'm describing my 15 year old self okay so you ain't having that problem i think you continue
Starting point is 01:32:44 to show up for her and you know because listen she around other 15 year olds she you know she's seeing how how they act and and you know she's trying to figure out who she is too and you got to also remember that as well um your three boys their experience growing up is different they're hers. You know, every kid is different, even though they all come from mine. I told her, I said, your brother's got the Tupac and Biggie Mama. You got the Brady Mama. What's the Brady Mama? And he's trying to pull out of the Tupac and Biggie Mama out of me.
Starting point is 01:33:16 But you see, that's why you're a different type of mama. You should have been the Tupac and Biggie Mama with her, but this was your first girl, and you were softer with her than you were with your three boys. Am I lying? No. Yeah. you were much softer this shit that's your princess that's your only girl that's that's how i am with my daughter i see myself about having to put my my my foot up or you know put my my fist
Starting point is 01:33:39 down molly throat in the coming years you know what i mean but i'm soft i'm soft on her i wasn't that soft with ass you know what i mean so that's why my son like he he pop off a little bit but he's still very he's still a good kid he's very respectful he he does his chores he you know what i'm saying he knows how to express himself when he's upset he knows how to like just fall back before he says something that he regret and things like that. You know what I mean? It's just I think you continue to keep showing up for she understands the type of mother she got
Starting point is 01:34:08 but you were soft on her and that's not bad. That's not bad. You ain't got to be Biggie and Tupac, you know, the Biggie and Tupac mom for, you know, for everything. But I think she's okay. She's not. She ain't doing nothing crazy. Is she just being her 15 year old self?
Starting point is 01:34:25 Watch, this is all going to pass. When she 18 it's going to be done. So just basically I need to suck it. up. Yeah, just suck it up, but have conversations with her, though. Like, you know, still have conversations with her. And you don't got to practice gentle parenting. You look, listen, I'm sick of your little ass popping your teeth and rolling your neck and all of that. I need you to get it together. I want you to really express yourself a better way. Talk to Mommy. What's up? What's going on? What makes you do that? Because I don't, I don't do anything to
Starting point is 01:34:52 deserve that. You know, I'm actually softer on you than I was on your brothers. And look, don't compare her to our brothers all the time. That's another thing. too. Don't compare her to them because that can make her feel away. You know, she's still her own kid. She got her own identity and she's the only girl. So, like, but have those conversations with her. Don't, don't take your hand off of it. You know what I mean? Do you know that I will. You won't be her ass to bed, but she's 15. Don't do it. I know. You sound like, you're like, girl, I got a belt. No, don't, don't be the ass. She already too old for that. Just to say that I don't try to talk to her.
Starting point is 01:35:27 At least she ain't like, catch me outside. Remember the girl on Dr. Phil? Oh, my God, yes. She ain't like that. I watched that in real time. So you're right. Right. You're sorry. Just talk to her.
Starting point is 01:35:37 But she's smelling herself. She's still trying to figure out who she is. She's 15. It's okay. Thank you, Jess. No problem, boo. Good morning. Who is?
Starting point is 01:35:45 Okay. Good morning. What's that, babe? What's your problem? Good morning. All right. So I've been dating this guy since April. We made it official in August.
Starting point is 01:35:57 In the very beginning, I didn't really take it seriously. I just wanted to have. some fun, but I began to fall for him. Well, so now we're in December, I found out like three weeks ago that he cheated on me. It took a lot to get him to
Starting point is 01:36:12 admit it. I basically had to start crying for him to admit it to me. So he finally admitted it. We're here now. I'm I'm Idaogoria. And I'm Maitegames Gron. And on our podcast, Hungry for History, we mix two of our favorite things. Food and history.
Starting point is 01:36:29 Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells, and they called these Ostercon, to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way. Bring back the Ostercon. And because we've got a very Mikaasa is Suu Kasa kind of vibe on our show, friends always stop by. Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through the Gulf of Mexico. No, the America.
Starting point is 01:36:58 No, the America. The Gulf of Mexico, continue to be so forever and ever. It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife.
Starting point is 01:37:19 Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. May 24th, 1990, a pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Barry's car. I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded. I felt it ripped through me with just a force more powerful and terrible than anything that I could describe. In season two of Rip Current, we ask, who tried to kill Judy Barry and why? She received death threats before the bombing. She received more threats after the bombing. The man and woman who were heard had planned to lead a summer of militant protest against logging practices in Northern California.
Starting point is 01:38:05 They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods. The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one industry in the area, but more than it was the culture. It was the way of life. I think that this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage our movement. Episodes of Rip Current Season 2 are available now. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets. We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.
Starting point is 01:38:40 And I said, what? What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened. These are just a few of the moving and important stories. I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets. Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one or just joining the Family Secrets family, we're so happy to have you with us.
Starting point is 01:39:12 I'll dive deep into the incredible power of secrets, the ones that shape our identities, test our relationships, and ultimately reveal who we truly are. Listen to Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Decoding Women's Health.
