I feel really really good I went to the pool yesterday and in my building for the first time because you know I got my pool at my state in Maryland, but I I live

Okay baller, how was it? Let me read the room. I mean to read your mom. I'm not about to be another B. Simone. I'm not. Did you have your H&M on when you went to the pool? I did. My bathing suit actually comes from Sheen. Okay. So, yeah. But it was nice though. And it was good to go swimming with Ash and see what he's learned at swim school. Because like, he'd be really trying to like swim me in circles now. Like it's, it's wow. I love that.

So shout out to British swim school. Like they, they really been doing that thing. And my daughter, my daughter is good. Yo, she about to be a little shock shorty. Like it's crazy. She's your daughter's toilet and Charlemagne now. You know that right? Your daughter is taller than Charlemagne now.

Yeah. I got to learn how to swim too. My damn. So you're not a swim. You from the country. You don't know how to swim. I do, but not like that. Like I don't know how to like, I guess I can thread water too, my damn self. You don't know how to swim? What? You from the country don't know how to swim? I do, but not like that. Like I don't know how to like,

I guess I can thread water when I do starfish. It's tread, not thread. It's tread water. Tread water, not thread. I can thread water when I do starfish, but that's about it. You know what I mean? What the hell is starfish?

That is crazy. And I can only do it like under the water. I can't do it on top of the water. And it's weird cause you'd be in the pool with your daughter. Like my daughters can swim because they can swim a lot. So they can swim swim. And so it's like they can swim to the deep end. And I'm sitting there like, don't y'all go out there.

Like, no, don't you go out there. Right, right. Because they can swim back. You can't save them. Absolutely. Jess, he said he could tread water underwater. That means you are drowning, sir. Treading water means you're above the water, sir.

No, he actually said thread water. One thing y'all don't realize is I can actually breathe underwater and I've told y'all this a million times like I can actually breathe underwater Anybody can y'all just don't try no Y'all go in the water and naturally hold your breath, but you can breathe underwater You can breathe through your ears and breathe through your butthole you can breathe through the pores in your skin If you are a fish you could do that as humans. Y'all just ain't never tried. I'll show you. And somebody's gonna go try today and they're gonna damn near drown listening to you.

No, you cannot. You cannot breathe underwater. What are you gonna drown if you think you're gonna drown? I'm shocked that you don't. Like, the Southerners, they'd be the ones that be swimming. Yes, early on. Absolutely. Listen, if you think you're gonna drown, you're gonna drown.

But if you're going there with the mindset of, you know what, I can actually breathe underwater, you'll breathe underwater. You go underwater and hold your breath every time, don't you? Every time. As you should. You don't have to. If you want to commit suicide. That's not suicide. And salute to all the girl dads the season is officially over. To be a girl dad?

Charlamagne the anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ NV Jess Hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get

in some front page news. Now let's start with some quick sports. The 2025 NBA draft will be tonight at 8pm. So the draft is going to be televised on ESPN and some more basketball news. Porzingis is traded to the Hawks. You know Porzingis used to be with the Naked and he was traded to the Celtics and now he's on the Hawks. All right what's up Mimi? What's up y'all? Good morning good morning. So that fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel it appears it appears to be holding strong this morning, despite nearly falling apart just yesterday. So before leaving the White House for a NATO summit, President

Trump expressed frustration with both countries, saying neither side seems to be sticking to the agreement. And this comes after Israel accused Iran of violating its terms by launching more missiles after agreeing to the ceasefire. Now, Iran, they are denying that claim. But when pressed by reporters yesterday about the status of the ceasefire, Trump used some colorful language when answering their questions. Let's listen to what he had to say. I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, OK, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour

and just drop everything you have on them. So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran either. You know what? We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing. Do you understand that? He was absolutely right.

He said nothing wrong. And you know, Trump, like, I'm out here trying to get the Nobel Peace Prize and y'all stepping on my headline. The headline is supposed to be Trump Stops 12 Day War. That was the headline. That was what the headline was supposed to be yesterday. But, you know, Israel had had other plans.

Yeah. So, you know, and then over the weekend Trump said the US they completely or they completed various successful attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran, but There's a new report that's out this morning a new you and us intelligence report that is now casting doubt on those claims the report Which came from inside the Pentagon now says the operation only set the program back a few months, but it did not completely destroy the nuclear facilities like Trump claimed. And so Trump is, of course, pushing back on that report, and he's calling the strike, quote, one of the most successful military strikes in history. And then he wrote in all caps on True Social, the nuclear sites in Iran are completely destroyed, and

the White House, they also issued a statement calling the report flat out wrong, and they say it was leaked by an anonymous low-level loser in the intelligence community. Now, according to CNN, U.S. officials believe Iran still maintains secret nuclear facilities that were not targeted in the strike and remain operational. So, there is... Go ahead. No, nothing. But your brows are definitely fleeky. I wanted to tell you that. Oh, thank you. Thank you, Jess. I appreciate that. No, that's it. I needed to hear that. Thank you. So, meanwhile, Texas Congressman Al Green, he filed articles of impeachment against

President Trump, accusing him of abusing his power by sidestepping Congress and by launching military action without approval. He had a lot to say on the House floor yesterday. Let's listen to some of it. The president of the United States has committed an impeachable act. No one person should have the power to take over 300 million people to war without consulting with the Congress of the United States of America. I believe that if we do not take immediate action, this authoritarian president will not only devolve the country into authoritarianism, I believe

he is a would-be dictator who would become a dictator. Every time they do that, yeah, is that a waste of time? Do they have to spend money to do that? Because it just doesn't make sense. I don't know if they have to spend money, but I mean they've definitely tried to impeach him twice already, but you know I don't understand, and we talked about this with Joanne Reed yesterday and I've been saying it all week. I don't understand the whole Donald Trump didn't get congressional approval to do military action when you can point to other presidents who have also done that. It's damn they have become routine for presidents not to get congressional approval to take

military action from Obama to Biden to Clinton to George W Bush. So what's the problem? Yeah. Why is it a problem? Why is it such an issue now? Well, I think it's because I feel like Trump is a little unhinged. And so yesterday though, you touched on this yesterday too, and Joy touched on it yesterday. A lot of Democrats are secretly wanting the war to, or wanting what happened in Iran, the strikes that happened, because 344 to 79 was the vote, with the House overwhelmingly

rejecting Green's resolution. So more than 120 Democrats joined Republicans in voting to table those articles of impeachment for not getting congressional approval. Of course, Green has been one of Trump's most vocal critics. He introduced multiple impeachment efforts, including one just last month. But meanwhile, a meeting that was scheduled for yesterday to brief the House and the Senate have been rescheduled for later this week. And Democrats, they are

very upset about that because they want to see evidence to back up Trump's claim that the strikes were necessary. And they say that they deserve answers. That's where we are. I think they should just be focusing on the fact that Trump broke another campaign promise. Trump said that there would be no war. He said that he would stop the wars that were going on. And he damn sure didn't say he was gonna lead us into another one.

So they should be focusing on that. Like he's wasting your taxpayer dollars on bombing Iran. Like that should be the conversation. Not that, you know, he didn't get congressional approval. Like that's just hypocrisy to say he didn't get congressional approval when you know other presidents didn't You right all right well that is front page news. Meemers. We'll see you next hour

All right, talk next hour everybody else get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent phone lines are wide open again 800-585-1051 get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's a new day. This is your time to get it off your chest. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed.

It's time to get up and get something. Call up now, 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Joe Green. Get it off your chest, brother. Hey, brother. If anything, can Charlamagne talk to me?

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Joe Green. Get it off your chest, brother. Hey, buddy.

If anything, can Charlamagne talk to his wife about going for a break? Man, if you don't shut up. What are you talking about? Come on. Hey, he knows everything about it. That is not true. Know what we need. No, I don't.

No, I do not. And no, I don't. You're rehearsing it real good on the radio. No, I don't. You're rehearsing it. You rehearsing it real good on the radio? No, I don't. You rehearsing it? I think that's what he's trying to do too. You know, I think his short-term aim's real plan is to become president. That's what I really think. You're out your damn mind.

Dang! We need somebody there. You're always talking about what's going on, what we need and everything. You know who we need to run for president? Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart need to run for president? John Stewart. John Stewart needed to run for president. John Stewart that hosted the Daily Show, that's who needs to run for president. But thank you, brother.

Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Vance, and how you doing? What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Hey, I want to talk about this Iranian-Israel thing. You know, a lot of people are saying, we ain't going to war, but as a form of veterans, the people that support this war, probably won't, after going to war,

probably never been to war. Talk to me, brother. This is not what we want. Talk to me, talk to me. Tell us something you know better than everybody. No. Well, see, the thing is, like, I've been to the war, I've been at the Afghanistan.

After we go to war, it's like people already say, we either going for a purpose or or some minerals just like he wanted if ain't gripping it. We don't want to go to war with these countries. You see Russia and North Korea speaking, but we took the ball left. Yeah. Why you say those countries in particular though, like in the Middle East? Why we don't want to go to war with them? I mean, I don't want want war period but I'm just asking why? Because those countries in the Middle East they all come together all of us. If you look at how many wars have been in the Middle East and look at the times we've gone

and then all of a sudden we got Heffa, we got other countries like Turkey speaking out. We don't want to go in the Middle East to start mixing with these countries because if they're going to gang up on us. Got you, got you. Well, let's hope that this ceasefire, you know, stays put. Well, and the other thing is our military capability, no matter how much they keep saying it, we are ready personnel wise. The military as a whole is looking for own personnel right now. A lot of people are

signing up for the military so we have to go back to what they tried before this draft and we don't want that thing to happen. Well what about AI? They want AI to replace everything else. Why can't they? They need to get some AI soldiers. Like how about AI? Well if you look at the wars today, they either drop those air strikes anyway. Yeah, and all cyber attacks and stuff like that. Right, and you know, and the thing that we don't want, we don't want nobody to go to war. I agree. You know, but you got this president that's trying to be big and tough and bully people and it's, we don't want this guy to go to fight and he don't want it to dry out before. Yeah I mean it's interesting though we keep saying this president as if war

is not the American way. Like what president? Well we know that. Yeah presidents on both sides love launching military action like why do we just say this president like this is not the American way. Well and that's why you know a lot of these Middle Eastern countries look at us and say, we the bullies, but we always try to go to these other countries. But then here we go asking China to have them cut off the straighter homes because of oil.

Yeah. All right. Not to be a diplomatic partner and say, let's not go to war and then do nukes. But we talking about, oh, let's not make the oil go up. Absolutely. Well, thank you for checking in, brother. Yes, sir.

Tell me how that feels to be considered a hot lesbian. Quite an honor. You know what's funny is you do this weird math. Like if you're a woman dating men, nobody wants to talk to you about your sexuality. They just want to either say like you're a prude or a slut, you know, if you date too much, they criticize you. If you don't

date, you must be frigid, whatever. And then the thing that gets added when you're actually more fluid with your sexuality is the swing goes to you better identify exactly who you are so we can figure out what name to call you and it's like okay and you know I sort of looked around I was like has nobody been paying attention to like all the hot girls I've been kissing on camera you know maybe not in front of you off camera but hi I've always been here listen to dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app Apple Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Yes. So yesterday in court, you guys, Diddy, on his own, spoke up to the judge and told the judge that he is not going to be testifying on his own behalf In court so yesterday as we talked about before court yesterday both sides were able to arrest The prosecution in the defense now the big thing here with did he sing? I'm not going to testify is number one It's the first that's the longest amount of time that we've heard him talk in court this whole time When he stood up the judge is asking him a series of questions just to make sure he understands what he's about to do, whether he says yes or no to testifying and did he say yes to him that he does understand that he's talked to his attorneys, but that he's

made his decision on his own and he will not be testifying. He also then took time to tell the judge that the judge was doing an excellent job and he thanked the judge for doing an excellent job. Now people were on, like when I say yesterday court wasn't the most exciting because all they were doing was going through evidence, people started to leave and everything prior to that. But when Diddy stood up, literally people were on the edge of their seats because prior to him standing up, the judge had asked his attorney if they had spoken and they decided what they were going to do.

And he asked him twice and the attorney's second answer of like, let me double check with my client to make sure I know what's going on, made us all think like, wait, is something about to happen here? Is he going to say he's going to testify? So people were waiting to see what Diddy said and he answered the question. But one of the biggest things that came out of court yesterday was the fact that his team asked for an acquittal. They are basically, not even basically, they are saying that the government did not do

what they needed to do to prove everything that is being alleged of Diddy. So they're asking a court to dismiss Diddy's case. But isn't that up to the jury? Well, so first they talk to a judge first because what they're saying is, it's like, okay, either we want you to dismiss this because they haven't proven, or we want you to at least remove some of the charges. Let's have a conversation about what the charges should be before we even present to the jury what charges they're going to be considering when they start deliberating.

So they present this to the judge and one of Diddy's attorneys, they took more time breaking down this acquittal request than they did presenting their defense. She went through various charges. I can't do them all here. We literally don't have the time, but what they leaned into is Rule 29, which is when you're asking for the acquittal. And what they're saying is that even when it comes down to things as simple as the RICO, the government hasn't shown that Diddy, agreeingly, got together with this group of people that they keep pointing out.

And everyone decided, okay, we're going to do these crimes together. They're saying that there's various elements of the RICO and the different counts that they're throwing at Diddy that the government has completely missed when it comes to evidence. Now they're also saying here that there are certain parts of a RICO where it requires for everyone involved or that you're alleging are key players to be in some point of contact. And there were times where they talked about KK not even knowing that certain things were happening or some of the crimes were happening or they were showing text messages where they would say, okay, this specific incident, KK was purposely left out of the conversation.

She didn't know anything until the damage had already been done. So she was doing damage control, but she wasn't a part of a conspiracy to commit this crime. Well, they said they were doing that so the jurors could hear it. So the jurors, so they could break down everything that they feel that the government didn't prove so when the jurors are thinking they're also thinking about this acquittal that they tried to do that. Hey, you didn't prove this and you didn't prove that and you didn't prove this. And a lot of times they put all these trumped up charges so that somebody cannot get a bond.

So you can't get a bond, right? If you have 12 charges, it's harder to get a bond than if you have one. So that's where a lot of those extra charges came from as well. Well, you're saying that they set all this in front of the jurors? Yeah, did they ask him to ask it? No, no, no. The jurors were on a break, so that's what I'm saying. They talked to the judge first because what's going to happen today is the jurors are off,

they'll have a charging conference. So that's basically where they get together and they talk about how they're going to give jurors instruction, but they need to have a conversation about what he's actually going to be still charged with so that when they talk to the jurors The jurors know what they're doing. Like they know what they're considering. What do they feel like in court yesterday Lauren? What do they feel like it felt like diddy's team was saying y'all got us f'd up and we all did our job for us and We ain't gotta do nothing else. Y'all brought this man here, y'all wasted his time, his family's time, his energy. Now we about to let him walk out of this courtroom.

Thank you for doing our job, good night. Well the reality is that's the confidence his lawyer is supposed to have. Man, but I'm not gonna lie to you guys. I've never thought that he was gonna walk clean away from this, but I didn't think that they would come with that confidence at the end of this.

I did not. Oh no, they would have to. I'd be mad as hell if I'm paying them all this money and they have no confidence. I mean, but even presenting that, like when they set up to present their defense, they entered in, you know, some transcripts from witness testimony from like Dawn, from Jane, from Mia, all these different people of like the times that they basically were caught up on the stand and inconsistent. And they showed text message from Cassie saying she's so in love with Diddy.

Like that was it. Like I thought that there was at least going to be more on that side of like let us put this narrative in the jurors mind because that's in front of the jury. They didn't really do much on that side. None of us really know what's going to happen but no outcome would surprise me except one and that's uh that's guilty on all counts. Guilty on all counts. Yeah I can't see that. Yeah I don't think that would be a surprise. Yeah, I can't see that either. Yeah, I don't think that that's what I'm gonna do. That would be a surprise. But you know, we keep talking about the Rico. I thought racketeering, you only have to prove at least two predicates. I'm not an attorney,

but the way that this woman broke it down yesterday, her main point about all of the charges that they're throwing at him is that there are multiple different elements that you have to satisfy, and that if one is not satisfied out of the many, there's room for them to come in and say you didn't do your job here he shouldn't have to be looking at this charge.

But you got three charges right so transportation to engage in prostitution I think they proved that sex trafficking for force fraud or coercion I'm not sure about that one. Racketeering like I said you know you only got to prove two predicates the bribery and the kidnapping that looked pretty strong but I just don't know if there will be a unanimous jury verdict on any of these things because the general consensus from people is that Diddy is just a five-star freak. Basically. And what's the schedule now?

When is the ending of the closing remarks and when did the jurors start deliberating? Do we know? Yeah, so today, Wednesday, is going to be that charging conversation. So we'll know exactly what the charges will be for the jury. Thursday is when the closing remarks will happen. So that'll be between the defense and the prosecution. That might go until Friday. They set Thursday and Friday, 9 to 5 p.m. for that to happen.

And then after that, the jury deliberation starts. So if that closes early, the closing remarks, the jury can start deliberating by Friday But more than likely the jury will begin deliberating Monday Well, don't come back with a verdict until after the 4th of July Let us enjoy our vacation and stuff next week and then when everybody get back to work come back with the razzle It's gonna be before that there's gonna be before that Didn't the judge say he wanted the decision before 4th of July and did he'll probably be having a 4th of July party if it goes away. Boy, you want a party? You want to be bugged. You keep talking about this. You want to be a party failure and Diddy party so bad. The judge has to give the jury the time that they need. So even though he's been saying it would be nice for all of us to get out of here before the holiday,

if they need more time, that's just what will have to happen. But what people think is going to happen, what we are speculating is that by like Wednesday, Thursday, there will be a verdict. But again, it really all depends. And it'll also be based on too, like what comes out of this whole rule asking for the acquittal too, like what the charges are

and how they're thinking about the charges. Well, none of us know. Like I said, everybody just gotta sit back and see what the outcome is gonna be. We have no idea what's gonna happen in this situation. Only thing we know is that, you know, did he like to take other men's semen and rub it on his nipples?

What are you talking about? That's the only thing you got out of it. That's what you got out of everything. We know a little bit more than that. That is true. That is also true. Oh, Lord. All right.

That is the latest with Lauren. Thank you, Lauren. You going to court today? Yeah, I'm going to go to the conferencing, but that's not, it starts later today, in the afternoon. You are, you giving court clerk vibes today? You see me? Yeah. I was gonna go to the conferencing, but that's not it starts later today in the afternoon You are you giving court clerk vibes today. You see me? Yesterday I'm like yo, yeah, I gotta get some summer court clothes Girl right when we come back we got front page news Mimi's filling in for Morgan and then Nellie and Ashanti will be joining us

So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up. You're locked into The Breakfast Club. Rocket Mortgage is lowering down payments to 1% for eligible home buyers with OnePlus. You heard that right. 1% down on a home with OnePlus from Rocket Mortgage.

Morning everybody, it's DEJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news and some quick sports.

The 2025 NBA Draft will be held tonight at 8pm on ESPN. Second round will be tomorrow at 8pm. And for some quick trade news poor Zingis You know he used to be with the Knicks then he was traded to the Celtics. He is now on the Hawks. All right What's up, Mimi? What's up? Y'all? So good morning a political upset in the race for New York City Mayor Daron Mondani has won the Democratic primary Defeating former governor Andrew Cuomo now Mondani ran on a bold progressive platform calling for a rent freeze, free public buses, affordable childcare and higher taxes on the wealthy.

Cuomo, on the other hand, he was backed by a $24 million super PAC funded by billionaires, Trump donors and former mayor Michael Bloomberg. Voters clearly embraced the grassroots message. Cuomo conceded less than two hours after the polls closed. Let's listen to part of Mondami's victory speech from last night. In the words of Nelson Mandela, it always seems impossible until it is done. My friends, we have done it. I will be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Okay. Yeah, it's a big deal. Yeah, no, it's a really big deal. The official results won't be confirmed until July 1st. That's when New York City releases its Ranked Choice Vote Tally, but many see his win. He went from zero in the polls last October to a primary win as a wake-up call

You know for political establishments on both sides. So if he wins, he's 33 years old He will become the first democratic socialist in New York City history He'll be the first Muslim and Asian American mayor Wow, right the crazy thing is is is like he said, he did it from boots on the ground. He really went out and knocked on people's doors and actually spoke to people. So the fact that he won without having as much money as Cuomo and some of these other people is, is crazy. Yeah. It's going to be interesting to see if he can win in the general because you know, he's going against mayor Adams, who's running as an independent.

His rumors that Cuomo may run as an independent and you know, Cuomo, like you said, maybe he had the, what the largest super PAC ever created for a New York City mayor race, $25 million. I think that was the most money ever spent in the mayor race, primary. So I expect that to increase significantly for the general. You could lose and then say, you know what, I'm not a Democrat anymore,

I'm independent and run again? Yeah, from what I was seeing last night. You can enter as an independent. After you lose and go run as an artist. You lost as a democratic. That's wild. And he raps, he raps, go wrong. Don't he rap? We don't want him to do that. No, no, we don't want him to do that. He does rap, he does rap, but no. I love that. Okay, I'm not mad at that. It's gonna be a lot though. He's gonna have a very, very tough task ahead of him for the general, but you know, I mean, you know, like he just said, everybody believes you can't do it until it gets done, so. Exactly, exactly. So, all right, y'all, so there are new numbers out this morning that show just how much ICE is, how many people they're actually holding. So 59,000 people are in immigration detention centers across the country. At an average cost of $165 per day, ICE is spending about $10 million every day just

to house people in custody. Dang it! That's far above what Congress, they currently fund, which is about 41,000 people. So this data is also revealing who is being detained. So nearly 47% of people being detained have no criminal record, and fewer than 30% have been convicted of a crime. Now, critics are saying that this reflects a broader crackdown about how longtime residents and workers are now being targeted.

And to handle the overflow, ICE is looking to convert military bases in Texas. One is called Fort Bliss into a temporary holding center, and in Florida, officials have proposed several new sites, including one in the Everglades that is nicknamed Alligator Alcatraz. So the White House is expected to go before Congress and ask for billions of money in additional funding to be able to house all the tens of thousands of people that they are continuing to detain. So.

This is what pisses off everyday Americans. You got, you said $10 million a day? Yeah, nearly $10 million a day. You got $10 million a day to detain people. That's over three billion a year. How you got money for that, but you don't got money to feed the poor? You don't got money to house the homeless. You don't got money to give people affordable health care. That's what pisses people off. And the proposed cuts to Medicaid and Social Security and all of those things,

but you can come up 10 million for this, and lastly, this is a warning to those who use those buy now, pay later apps to split up your payments. There's some changes coming that could affect your credit score. So FICO, the company behind the credit scores used by most US lenders, they say they will now start including

buy now, pay later loans in its scoring models. So up until now, these installment style loans haven't shown up on your credit reports, leaving lenders in the dark about how much debt people are really in. So now, apparently Americans are spending $116 billion through pay later services. They spent that just last year alone. And so FICO is saying now it's time for some checks and balances. So starting this fall your history with services like Affirm, Afterpay, Klarna, it could either help you or hurt you depending on how you manage those payments. So FICO is giving everybody the warning now but they're saying to the biggest users of those

buy now pay later services are lower income households, which earn less than 50,000 a year because many people are now using those options, not for just big purchases anymore, but because of the economy, they're using them for everyday essentials like to buy groceries and to pay their utilities.

Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club I Thought that that would be a dope situation because we have so many other great things that we have going on and you understand You you know you guys you very business minded so you get the platform usage. Got you.

You know what I mean? And again, we got this beautiful growing family that I thought people who have been supporting us not just career wise but kind of been invested in our relationship since the beginning. You know, they get a chance to take a little bit of a ride and just see, we just ride a little bit of a ride too, man. You know what I mean? It ain't complicated like that, other than same thing everybody else going through.

That's what's so interesting about y'all. Like both of y'all provided the soundtrack for like the 2000s, right? But what does it feel like now to be in a relationship goals for the same fans? Who else, come on following you and your music. I mean hopefully it's inspirational, you know what I mean? That just says when you love somebody and things are meant to be, it will be.

You know I definitely feel like you put that positive energy out there, it comes back and what's meant for you will be for you regardless, regardless of the time. You know what I mean? We just try to stay positive and laugh. Yo, I mean you know, again like she said, just having people in your life that bring more good than bad. Period. On any level, man. Like I said, I don't care if they're your cousin, auntie, uncle, mom, dad, kid. Do they bring more good to your life than bad? And if not, you need to remove yourself immediately. You know what I'm saying? Or have a situation where you can create the barrier. Like you said, we're not perfect, we're just everything else.

And we just try to be everything else. Now how is it for you, Ashanti? Because you are, nobody knows anything about your life. You come out and you're performing and you go back home. She goes on her vacations too. I do go on vacations. And then she goes home. So how is it for you opening up and showing that side of you? I mean it's very different for me. You know in the beginning I was just like, huh? You know but once you become married and a team, I was just like, okay I'm on board. And just you know having the cameras around is crazy because we have so much going on

outside like with our careers. It was like fitting the cameras into on top of becoming newlyweds and new parents and career stuff, and then now it's the cameras. So it was kind of like, we gotta fit them almost into our sketchbook. So it was a little time consuming. But I think just getting the opportunity to show just authenticity, like we're real.

Our shit is organic. So getting a chance to show that, I we're real you know our is organic so getting a chance to show that I think is a dope thing now your mom just pulled me to the side right she was just like I got something for you so I thought she was gonna tell me some advice about raising kids she goes boots on the ground I'm like, did I look that bad, mama? She's like, yes. She's like, I teach a class where I can actually show you how to do it. Listen, Father's Day weekend, my mom and my other mom, Ms. Mac, Mama Mac was out there doing boots on the ground in the house. I said, oh, with the fans and everything. I said, oh, God, they had it cracked.

So she got you. Now, how is mama with the mama manager with the baby now? Cause she's very protective. Listen, she walks right past me. When she comes to the house, it's T-Ma. It's all about KK. You know what I'm saying? She's like, where's the baby?

Well, hi mom. She's amazing. She's so in love with the baby. You get that with everybody around us though. Everybody shoot past us. I'm telling you bro, I'm a doormat. No, I am. No, I am. She's amazing. She's someone love you get that with everybody around us though You love it, but it's just like okay, yeah, I'm here When you decided to spend the block I ain't gonna hold you in the beginning. Momma's like, no! Let me talk to him first.

I'm not gonna hold you in the beginning. Momma's like, what? She was definitely not, you know, supportive. She was like, I don't know. You know, she get to talking to the bread. Momma's doing a lot of cursing, I ain't gonna lie. But, um... But I love him now. it came from a hurt place.

Because obviously with me having a child now, you never want to see your child hurt. So going through that, you know, my mom's my best friend. So going through that time, I was hurt. Obviously she was hurt. So we, you know, carry that hurt a little bit. Well, let's be clear. I was hurt.

Everybody was hurt. I think this narrative of that, Nelly just broke Ashanti's heart Shanti broke Nelly's heart because I feel like that's be put that be put out there a lot like like let's be clear I didn't think anything. I didn't think who. I know you walk a thin line. You walk a thin line. You're my kid. I mean I walk a thin line. No, but I mean, you know we were young.

But it was a lot. It just wasn't one way or another. It was, it was, it was a mutual, yo I don't like her, I don't like him. You know what I'm saying? She had her reasons, I had my reasons. But it was never one-sided, like everybody, you know,

putting this thing out there, let's just be clear. How did you win mama over? No matter who you were serious. Listen, first of all, me and mama J have always had a great relationship from the very beginning. And I think with the way her heart and the way the mom is in front of the momager works, she's always protecting hers. And that's what I love about her. That's the love that I look forward to having on

my side now. You know what I'm saying? To have somebody that steps out regardless. You know what I'm saying? And our families are steps out regardless. You know what I'm saying? And our families are totally different. I didn't have that. You know what I'm saying? My parents went through what they went through. My mom had me at a young age. I didn't live with neither one of my parents at a certain time.

I lived in family, friends, and they've always had this family nucleus. You know what I'm saying? So my family, we love each other, but we see each other when we see each other. They are very, very well connected. And I looked forward to having that connection and being able to implement that in my life. And it has spilled over into our lives.

So it worked. All right, we got more with Nelly and Ashanti when we come back, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lonzo Rosa is here as well We're still kicking it with Nelly and Ashanti. You were missing at the BET Awards, right? When they did that whole 106 and Parker, we were talking about it behind the scenes It was like that was one artist that should have been there. Was there a reason you weren't there? I was overseas. I was on tour. We literally just got back

maybe what last week, last week or week and a half. I was overseas. We had finished that leg of the tour. And yeah, it's crazy, man. You know we wanted to be and I'm always thankful of everybody. Steven, everybody over there, BET, Bob Johnson, Jesse. We were the first number one video. When the day 106 and Park aired, Country Grammar was the number one video, the day that it aired. So that's growth, man, that's home.

I'm so thankful for everything that BET invested in, not just Nelly, but in my city, because that helped open the gates for a part of the country that get overlooked. I feel get overlooked a lot. I think about all the time how Nelly snuck a gangster rap record into the pop shop. Country Grammar is a gangster rap record. It is about doing the drive-by.

Just get in the car, please. And you listen. Please. I'll be back. I'll be back. But what I was saying, when did you have a time, you know, a chance to just release and relax just as Ashanti at home? Honestly, after the baby was born, I said I was taking off.

I didn't want to bring him anywhere in the public. The only reason that we traveled was for his birthday. So the baby was born in July, and the first time we moved was in November. If we didn't have birthdays, I would have kept him in the house even longer. And then I was like, okay, obviously stuff was coming in. I did one show, Motown, and the Christmas thing, and I was in, I was like, okay, obviously stuff was coming in. I did one show,

Motown, and the Christmas thing, and I was in, I was like, I ain't doing nothing else, you know? So I cleared the calendar to the top of the year. So I tried to keep it very light because, you know, I wanted to be with my baby. You know what I mean? I'm breastfeeding, I'm pumping, I'm all kinds of stuff. At BET, I had to pump in between red carpets, send the milk with the driver, you know, bring the pumps back. You know what I mean? I ain't want to say it, but that's what they told me. They was like, listen, she got a pump, so ask your questions, get them in.

Oh, his first blowout I changed him his first blowout oh my god even what was worse than the blowout was the pee I ain't gonna hold you but see I warned her about the pee he did warn me about the pee and I had the teepee peepee you know the things you put over the peepee it's like a teepee so I had it I ain't use it it's a little teepee it's like it looks like a teepee and you put it on top of his peepee so he don't pee.

So he don't pee on you. Right, he don't pee on me. I got peed on two times. So I'm sitting there, I'm changing him. Hi baby! Hi! I feel all this warm, I was like, what is that? Ah!

He got me in my mouth, one side of my face, all here. And I'm just like, oh my God. You all smiles, all people. And I'm just like, oh my God. You all smiles. All people that are happy. Happy. No, because I told her it was going to happen. Because I was like, yo, I'm about to be 50. Like, I got so many diaper changes left.

You know what I mean? I've already been peed on by my oldest son. Like, back in the day, I already knew what that was. I said, yo, he going to get you. Oh, no, it's already knew what that was I said yo he gonna get you oh no it's gonna be great I said no he gonna get you I said I already know what it is and shot in his her purse first in the purse. His first doctor's appointment. In the Chanel right in there that boy got aim. I couldnt believe it my moms bag was open on the chair the Chanel bag the pee went right in her purse.

I couldn't believe it. Yes. All right. We got more with Nelly and Ashanti when we come back, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Rosa is here as well. We're still kicking it with Nelly and Ashanti. Charlamagne? What's the pettiest argument y'all had since y'all got back together? And who won it? I don't know, you know, they don't seem petty at the time. No, no.

It usually be about the temperature. Oh yeah, she likes it 80 degrees. I like it like this. I like it nice and hot. What? You like it cold? He likes to see your breath in the room. That's how cold it is. But she like you sweating.

She will have it 80 degrees and be up underneath the covers. But luckily I got it is. But she like you sweating. She will have it 80 degrees and be up underneath the covers. But luckily I got a partner in this war. My son. He likes it cold like his dad. I'm so mad. He kicks the covers off. I mean, putting the covers on him, he kicks the covers off. I'm like, what you doing? I tried to tell you. I say his balls sticking to his leg. No man in their right mind can sleep like that.

You can't sleep like that. That's how uncomfortable that is. I figured the biggest argument would be lateness. Is Ashanti always late? No. Let's talk about that. I've been on time. Babe, I've been on time all these interviews. When you can count how many times you've been on time. Damn.

I've been on time. I've been on time. I've been on time. I've been on time. I've been on time. I've been on time. I've been on time. I've been on time. Babe, I've been on time all these videos, interviews. Let me tell you something. When you can count how many times you've been on time, damn, that goes to hand. That goes to hand. I was on time.

But no, she tries. It's never anything intentional. I mean, I'm not always on time, but I'm way better. How is everything coming back to your music? How? Hot in your head. How is this happening? But I'm way how was everything coming back to your music? But it is so interesting watching y'all, because they say if you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours. So obviously y'all never stopped loving each other.

That's right. Yeah, I don't think you could spend that much time and invest that much of yourself into anything. And especially someone and not still have love. Because again, we have invested so much of each other into each other that you still want to see each other win at the end of the day even if it's not all the way with you like I still wanted her to she deserves to be happy it just may not have been with me you know what I mean like but I don't hold

that ill wills like that man I I'm a positive person. I just Again, when you hold that then it feel like it affects you more. Yeah, you know what I mean? So and you go around and with that anger, that's just not good as a man How did you know if I get this opportunity again? I didn't show the man. I swear to God. I wasn't looking for it You just seen it was like let me go out We knew the verses right so I knew she was gonna be there and we tell a story all the time when I went to Versus dope I had somebody else with me and I was in a relationship Jesus you see what I'm saying. I had somebody else with me when we got there So it wasn't like that and I saw mama Jaffer's

She was on the phone doing the moms. She looked... Cornel! Hey ma! What's up? We could get it on the 9! But again, you just, we were there to celebrate two people who we have fine respect for and was celebrating their music and we was there to support them. I never wanted it to be, you know, anger or confliction or nothing like that. So yeah, the walk across stage was hilarious. What was that conversation in the car?

Because you said you was with somebody. What was that conversation like? Or did she Uber before? Like, I'm out. And you were in a relationship. No, it wasn't. No, she had no conversation. What you going to say?

Right. Right. He questioned it. What was that question? I wasn't in a relationship with nobody that was with me. You know what I'm saying? It was Ashanti was hanging out. That's why it's more so for Ashanti.

How was that conversation for you, Ashanti, because the world went crazy about her. Well, she didn't indulge though. But she was flirting. But there's still. Hold on. Did you see for you Ashanti? Because the world went crazy about her. Well she didn't indulge though. But she was flirting. But there's still... Hold on, hold on. Did you see how you did that? We got the proof.

Did you pull it up? The whole world reciprocated. The whole world reciprocated. You see the rub on the back. That was just a positive, like you don't look just like him. Let me tell you something. You rub any other **** on the back while you got that ring on your back. Oh no.

Now how was that conversation for you Ashanti? It just said, it had been. And that's exactly how he responded. You rub any other n***a in the back, why you got that ring on your back? Oh no. How was that called? That was like, did you just rub his back that I could see that from his feet? God damn right he did. You saw that n***a. I got a better question. So what was the rekindling moment?

Like, what was it? A hey big head, you was looking good at the verses, or you know, what was that like? big head you was looking good at the verses you know what was that it was crazy because the crazy thing is we had no conversation at the hug after the hug like some time went by we had some shows together you know and i think we kind of did body on me a few times but we still didn't even speak we didn't even have each other's number you know what i mean i don't i have it but i don't even the first text that came in was the high emoji and I was like is this 314 number? You tested the water. You know what 314 is. Wait when you saw the air it caused your heart to drop? I was like oh my god who gave him my number?

But um the rekindle lose our first date was Valentine's Day, Vegas. And I don't even think we planned it to be Valentine's Day. You know, it was just like, yo, come out. It was in Vegas. Yeah, but I ain't got the drugs for that. Yeah! You're not my last name, Nelly! I said Nelly's his wife!

What you mean? Her last name Haines! She was her last! Her last name Haines! That's right. That's right. That's right. I bought the cow to milk the goat, but I said I do so I can't.

Oh my God. I gotta go guys. I'm gonna dance. I do wanna ask you one last question. You've written some fantastic iconic heartbreak songs. Yes, ma'am. So how does it feel now to be in like a healed public love story? And it is a true love story. It is a true love story. Um honestly it it feels amazing. It feels like

god sent like when something I keep saying when something is for you, it will be for you no matter the time no matter what you go through no matter the obstacles or the people that come in between when it's for you, it will be so I'm just so grateful. I'm just so grateful. I'm super blessed and I feel like I manifested a lot too, you know? So I'm just, I'm so happy. I'm content all the way.

What would you say to people right? Cause y'all the reason that people, other people trying to spend a block and it's not really working for everybody. So what would y'all say to that? Quit. Well listen, but they gotta stop looking at it like that. Because the thing about it is that if you're putting so much emphasis on what other people are feeling

about your thing, you have to understand that does the good outweigh the bad? Does that person bring more good to your life than bad? Because what seemed like deal breakers then, it ain't deal breakers now. You're like, you know what, that **** wasn't that bad. I can deal with that. What I can't deal with is this. And what I thought was a deal breaker ain't even a deal breaker. You know what I mean? And you know, you spend the block, but you don't have to stop. You know what I'm saying? You might them big rims, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels,

big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, big wheels, is the vehicle. I'm tripping. This guy, everything I want on him. You know what I'm saying? They got them big rims on that thing. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? That's not what I lied. Let that top bag. That thing. And then you shot that club. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? That top bag.

And then we blew that together. No, wait. Yeah, I was going to say, speaking of shooting a club but y'all are so positive How do y'all deal with people keep everybody thinks y'all are having another baby right now and there's so many other things out there How did you say wait? This is a better one? What did you think what went through your head when you heard Keisha Cole appear say that Sean G's pregnant again? Congratulations I guess maybe she thought she heard it I don't know. I don't know where she got it from. I think she said she might have heard it somewhere or whatever, but yeah.

Okay. Because it's like once you have a baby, all they want you to do is keep popping them out or whatever. Keep popping them out. But y'all at your own pace. I'm happy to see y'all. That's what I had to ask y'all. Thank you.

And their reality show We Belong Together it's available on Peacock starting tomorrow man I love love man seeing Nelly and Ashanti together is incredible

they were happy the whole interview the whole interview yeah I just thought it was nice love is love man well let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. Tell us, man it. She gets in from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on her. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest.

On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. So before we get into our next story, I do want to say it is 7 54 a.m. Eastern Standard Time here in New York and there are reports circulating that charges have been dropped against Sean Diddy Combs. That is a hundred percent false. At this time, no charges have been dropped. I just want to clear that up because those those reports are starting to circulate and I literally just made a phone call to confirm that it is not correct. And it is not. Who the hell did you call this? I know that's right. But where did they circulate? I ain't heard that from her.

Someone just tagged me in a document that is not a real document. They're there. It's there. To the point where they're even commenting on our Diddy report that we just posted asking why we're not commenting on the charges that were dropped. Oh, don't play Lauren. Yeah, and someone shot me a text as well dropped. Don't play Laura. I know her. Yeah, and someone shot me a text as well, too.

Okay, so let's move on now. So Brandi and Monica are going on their first ever co-headlining tour. Wow. It is happening. We need a bomb, a clap, or something for that. Is Ray J opening up for them, though? I'm gonna say, drop a clues bomb on bombing Ray J because he spoke this into existence. That's right.

Even though, you know, he didn't do it the right way and people got mad at him. This is really what he said was going to happen. Yes, so Ray J was actually here on the Breakfast Club when he spoke about Brandi and Monica going on this co-headlining tour. We have that audio. Are you really pushing for Brandi and Monica to go on tour together? That's all I want. Why?

What made you wake up one day and say this is what I need? Well I've been saying it since they did the uh. The rehearsals. Yeah like I got the jet for me, we flew out there, it was this vibe. They were going back and forth. It wasn't like a competition but it was. It was like a mosh pit in a ballet. It was a ballet plan and you look to the side and we giving her all that support and I just think Brandi and Monica is an undeniable tour. It's like you both win last run. No

matter what you feel or whatever, how can you not take that opportunity? If you know us there, why do anything else for her? Yeah, Ronnie Jerkins told us that last week too though. He told us that day was going on too. Yes. So the tour is going to be a 24 city arena tour kicking off in Cincinnati on October 16th. Now a lot of people because you know it's been since the 90s that people have wanted to see this but they they've had their you know their ups and downs are so people's thoughts

right but they came out and actually talked about it in more detail on CBS this morning. Let's take a listen to Brandi Monaco on their feud. Was there a feud back in the day that was either media created or started as nothing and then turned into something? It started as nothing, though. It started as nothing, but it turned into something. And it really did turn into something because also the reason that I was so insistent that we communicate directly is that you take all of the peanut gallery out of the

conversation people's opinion. Yes. Yes. Because that makes it more difficult. Yeah. So if there's something to discuss, we discuss it amongst each other. And then we say what happens together. And that just eliminates any confusion. There was a lot of confusion and conflict and there was a lot of people around. Yeah. So most often didn't help either. We were fighting over all right. And we don't even like the same type of boy. I don't. Yeah, there was a lot of There was a lot of. There could never have been a boy. Like we, there was a lot of

what had happened was. Right? Here in 2025, it is all good between the two of us. Yes it is. And it was young, man. You know how young they was back then? 17 and 18. They talked about that too. They were 17 and 18 years old. You didn't answer my question is Ray J opening up for this tour. Ray J is not listed on this tour at all. Let's not ask him cuz he will lie and say yes and then they'd be mad at his ass all over again. Yeah as of right now the special guests include Kelly Rowland, Money Long and American Idol winner Jamal Roberts. No Ray J at this time. Yes, Kelly Rowland.

Kelly Rowland, yes. Kelly is definitely another person that's worth the price of admission. And Ray wouldn't lie, he would just put it on the dead homes. Yeah. Yeah, but I think everyone is excited for this, so make sure you guys go and grab your tickets.

This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler,

Sophia Bush is here. Tell me how that feels to be a hot, considered a hot lesbian. Quite an honor. You know what's funny is you do this weird math, like if you're a woman dating men. Tell me how that feels to be considered a hot lesbian. Quite an honor. You know what's funny is you do this weird math. Like if you're a woman dating men, nobody wants to talk to you about your sexuality. They just want to either say like you're a prude or a slut. If you date too much, they criticize you.

If you don't date, you must be frigid, whatever. And then the thing that gets added when you're actually more fluid with your sexuality is the swing goes to, you better identify exactly who you are so we can figure out what name to call you. And it's like, okay. And you know, I sort of looked around and was like, has nobody been paying attention to like all the hot girls I've been kissing on camera? You know, maybe not in front of you off camera, but hi, I've always been here.

Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Show me how good it can get today, God, and show the rest of the world what we already know. It can't get no better than being hella black, hella queer, and hella Christian. My name is Joseph Rees. I am the creator and host of Hello Black, Hello Queer, Hello Christian. A fully black, fully queer, fully human, fully divine podcast that explores

society, culture, and the intersections of faith and identity. Listen to Hello Black, Hello Queer, Hello Christian to hear conversations about what it means to sound the way you look. I think what I've had to make peace with is that every iteration of my voice is given to me by God, and I love it. Books that validated our identity. The library now for me is a safe space as someone who is writing books that they're trying to take off of shelves.

And how we as black queer folks relate to our Christianity. Listen to Hella Black, Hella Queer, Hella Christian on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you are a donkey. What the hell? What the hell is? The Lordy needs a donkey. Some donkey today just saw himself. Oh, man, Charlemagne. Who you giving donkey to do tonight?

Well, Rob Fortnoy, in Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, June 25th, goes to a 29-year- old young man named Michael Crowley. Now listen, yesterday there was a heatwave forecast across much of America. Okay, it was record highs everywhere. Alright, 100 plus all across the map. I think it was 103 in Chicago, 102 in New York, I think I saw 105 in Pittsburgh, 104 in Columbus, Ohio. Meteorologists, please just put hell on the forecast.

Okay, what's the point of showing us the temperature when it's that hot? All right. It's like when a judge gives you 200 years for what? Just tell me life. All right. Just tell me forever. And the reason I'm telling you the forecast is because in this heat, you really need to drink your water and mind your business.

Okay. See, we say that as if those two things aren't a matter of life and death. Okay. Those two things are survival tactics when the forecast is that hot drink water to stay hydrated and mind your business because it is a scientific fact that hot temperatures cause people to bug the F out okay increased air ability, anger, aggressive behavior due to a combination of psychological factors, physiological factors, the body's stress response to heat coupled with discomfort, potential sleep disruption, it makes it harder

to regulate emotions and impulses which makes people prone to snap. This is not hyperbole, okay? This is science fool. And Michael Crowley is the latest example of that. What are you talking about Uncle Sharla? Well, let's call 11 alive for the report please. Right now a 29 year old man is behind bars accused of killing his uncle over a pastry. So this is the breaking news at 11 Alive. First brought to you last Thursday when DeKalb

County police swarmed a home on Loveless Drive in Ellenwood. Now, a new arrest report shows that Michael Crowley shot his uncle, 48-year-old Roderick Crowley, because he ate his honey bun. The warrant says that Michael called 911 and told police what he did. When officers got there, they say they found him in the woods nearby and took him into custody, charging him with malice murder.

Mental illness, unhealed trauma, the heat and a honey bun. That led to Michael Crowley shooting and killing his uncle. Now I told you about the heat portion of this, but it is men's mental health month, so I have to acknowledge how unhealed trauma can significantly increase the risk of violence. Okay, both towards you and other people.

Okay, see this man didn't shoot and kill his uncle over no damn honey bun. There's something else there that has been building up. Some type of hurt, some type of trauma that has been unresolved. And that often leads to behavioral issues. That may manifest as aggressive or violent behavior. I hurt people, hurt people. I tell you all that all the time.

That's why you gotta leave people alone. Rest in peace to Roger Crowley. You should not be dead today over no damn honey bun. But clearly your nephew had other issues going on that maybe you didn't know about. Okay, or maybe you did. I don't know. Sometimes we see people tripping over something and we say, hey, it's not that serious.

A honey bun is definitely not that serious, but whatever issues he's dealing with in his head and in his heart, those issues are. Okay, that's why I be on y'all about going to therapy because as I always say, if you don't deal with your trauma, your trauma gonna deal with you. Now, let's talk God's gift to snacks. Honey buns. Okay, one of the greatest joys God put here for us to indulge in. Whoever invented the honey bun had a direct line to God. Okay, when you hide and you get the munchies and

you take that honey bun, warm it up in the microwave for about 25-32 seconds. My God, that pastry feels like a hug. It's the ultimate comfort dessert and we don't even know what brand it was. Might have been Lil Debbie. When I was in high school, that Sunbeam honey bun used to hit, but there is nothing that slaps more than a Dutchess Jumbo Glazed Honey Bun. My God, my God. That Dutchess Jumbo Glazed honey bun will make a diabetic risk it off. But it shouldn't. Okay, I hate that I have to come on the radio and tell you young

men and women that you should not be taking anybody's life over a damn honey bun. Now, I know as a man Michael Crowley had some other things going on in his life. I know as a man Michael Crowley had some mental health issues that might have been underlying issues between him and the uncle and Michael just was all the way fed up but when somebody tells you to calm down because that's what happened in this situation somebody told Michael to calm down and told him to leave the house and he did but if you leave a situation okay if you go do that but still come to the conclusion to grab your pistol and come back and shoot somebody four times something's wrong okay you're gonna

spend the rest of your life in prison over a situation a fist fight could have solved? If you would have swung on him over eating your honey bun, I would understand because it's not about the fact he ate your honey bun. It's the principle. Because somebody will do something like that to you and look at you and say, why are you tripping bro? It's just a funky ass honey bun.

What you mean a funky ass honey bun? It wasn't a funky ass honey bun. When you was eating it, icing all around your mouth, crumbs in your bed, talking about it's just a funky ass honey bun it wasn't a funky ass honey bun when you was eating it icing all around your mouth crumbs in your beard talking about it's just a funky ass honey bun if it's just a funky ass honey bun then give me a kiss and let me taste the glaze on your lips what listen kids Michael has been charged with malice murder okay conviction for malice murder carries one of three sentences life in prison with the possibility of parole. Life in prison without the possibility of parole.

In the death penalty. The moral of the story is a moment of anger can ruin a lifetime of peace. Don't ever let petty choices lead to permanent consequences. If you lose your temper you may lose everything else with it. You can't take a bullet back, okay? Our decision, made in the heat of pride, are in the heat of 100 degree temperatures all over this country. Please let Remy Ma give Michael Crowley the biggest hee-haw.

Hee-haw, hee-haw, you stupid mother-fucker, you dumb. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. That is crazy though, honey-von, come on. Crazy. Come on. Crazy. It's not right crazy like but ain't no but come on no no no no no but somebody died cut it out you about to say something stupid. What you're gonna say? No you know see you are look at you you want to you want him to jump off be stupid knowing he can't help himself instead of

just putting the helmet on your little cousin and letting him before you know make sure you got his helmet on they know but move on all right well let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051 now Weezy and Mandy was on the show this is his decisions the other day yes they were here they were here promoting their new book, No Holes Bared, a dual manifesto of sexual exploration and power available everywhere you buy books now. Yes, and they were talking about being in a relationship you deserve. Can we play the audio?

And this is gonna sound bad. I do think everyone is with who they deserve. What do you mean? If you're with someone who isn't that great to you, it's because you don't believe you deserve better. Everyone in certain relationships, I feel like they deserve it, it's because you don't believe you deserve better. Everyone in certain relationships, I feel like they deserve it because it's like if you don't want better for yourself, no one can lead you out of it. You could take a horse to water, but you can't make them drink it.

And so I do think that if you're in a bad relationship or not, you don't feel like you deserve more. You're in a relationship you deserve. All right. Well, let's discuss. you don't feel like you deserve more, you're in a relationship you deserve. All right, well let's discuss 800-585-1051. Let's talk about being in a relationship you deserve. Do you feel like you're in a relationship you deserve? Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning are The Breakfast Club.

They were up here promoting their new book

that's out right now. Yes, No Holes Barred, a dual manifesto of sexual exploration and powers available everywhere you buy books now. Let's hear what they said. And this is gonna sound bad. I do think everyone is with who they deserve. What do you mean? If you're with someone who isn't that great to you? It's because you don't believe you deserve better Everyone in certain relationships. I feel like they deserve it because it's like if you don't want better for yourself No one can no one can lead you out of it You can you could take a you could take a horse to water But you can't make them drink it and so I do think that what if you're in a bad relationship or not you don't feel like you deserve more you're in a relationship you deserve so we're asking 800-585-1051 are you in a

relationship you deserve I guess that's the question let's start with you Jess yes I am I'm in a relationship that I deserve because you're a hard-working woman I am you got a hardworking woman. I am. You got a hardworking Mexican. Absolutely. Wow. What? Wow. Wow. Absolutely, yes. I have a half Mexican husband, and yes, I feel like he deserves me as I deserve him.

So yes, I'm in a, finally in a relationship where I feel like, yes, I deserve to be in. Charlamagne? Absolutely. Well, you know what, it's funny, right? Sometimes I feel like I'm not, cause I just feel like, you know, she's so much better than me, but I feel like over the years I've definitely

become the man that I should be for her, you know, but that took, you know, doing a lot of work on myself. And I think that's what, you know, Mandy was saying to me. That's what I took from it. Like I think there's a lot of factors that go into people being in bad relationships, or being with bad people, but I do understand what Mandy was saying. If you don't love yourself, if you have insecurities, you could find yourself in relationships with people who will exploit that. And until you decide you want to be better and deserve better, you probably won't get better. So, you know, I mean, it's hard with me and my wife, because me and my wife, we've been

together 27 years. So we've been together 27 years. So we've been together since we was kids. So I've evolved as a man, but I always felt like I was, I definitely always felt like I was punching above my weight class by being with her. But my goal was to always continue to better myself, to be the man that I feel like she deserved. Yeah, and me the same.

I've been with my wife for 31 years, and I felt the same way, especially early on. I felt like she was so much mature and so much better than me that I had insecurities that I had to get through. I didn't know what it was at the time. I wasn't trying to break down what I was dealing with, but as you start evolving and you start growing in life, you realize, damn, I have to work on myself, which I finally did years ago, and now I feel like I'm in a deserving relationship, but before, I felt like she was way over my level.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Yes, it's King. Yo, relax, bro. Damn. He can be hype. They call him on that pink cocaine early in the morning. Jesus. When he's in a relationship that he thought he deserves to be hype. They call him on that pink cocaine early in the morning. He's in a relationship that he thought he deserved to be in. I was sniffing that real white shit.

See? Who I told you. I know a cocaine voice from my hair. Damn, slow down. Alright, well answer the question, sir. We're not talking about with your drugs. We're talking about with your lady. Now listen, I think, I'm gonna go back to Cassie. I think she's in, it was in a relationship that she deserved and that she wanted. And there's nothing wrong with that. We're looking at it like it's something wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that.

Well I think- I've been in a relationship, I'm sorry, I've been in a relationship, I've been married for 30 years. It's a beautiful relationship, it works, we fight, we argue, we do everything together. But that's the relationship I deserve. But another woman might want a more exciting relationship like she had. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but you know, I think that's a good example because you know, from what we have seen, or at least from what we know,

because none of us know all the intimate details, you know, Diddy and Cassie had a trauma bond. And it seemed like one of them moved on to get some healing, which was Cassie, and the other kept, you know, indulging in the same behavior that he was when he was with her. That's all.

Well, we don't know if she did get help or what it is. We just know that it seemed like they were trauma bonded. It seemed like it, but it seemed like she moved on and got some help to me. I don't know. I don't know. And by the way, she seemed like she did the work on herself, and she ended up getting the man that she actually deserves.

That's right. Hello, who's this? This is Z. Hey, good morning, mama. We're asking, are you in a relationship you deserve? Good morning. I don't think people are necessarily in a relationship that they deserve, because some people are in relationships

that are very bad. They're sexual assaults, they're, you know, physically, and no one deserves that, but I think that we're all in a relationship that we need. We're either in a relationship that's showing us how we behave, so we're being mirrored or it's showing us something that is work in ourselves that allows us to stay in a situation that we don't deserve.

I like that. Words matter. So maybe it's not deserve. Maybe it's need. Man, I like that. Yeah. All right. Thank you for calling.

Well, thank you. Let's go to another caller. Hello. Who's this? Hello. This is Ryan from Columbus, Ohio. How are you doing this morning, breakfast boy? Peace, Ryan. What's up, Ryan? Good morning. We're talking about being in a relationship you deserve.

What's your thoughts? Look, man, you know, sometimes, you know, she's right to a certain degree, right? But, man, some half of these dudes will kill these women for that, you know what I mean? They feel like if, you know, if I can't have you, nobody else can, you know what I mean? If somebody's just a coward. So, you know, that's how, you know, some of these dudes think. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. All right. Well, thank you. I do understand when people are saying, like, you know, you don't deserve to be in a relationship. You don't deserve to be in a relationship. You don't deserve to be in a relationship. You don't deserve to be in a relationship. You don't deserve to be in a relationship.

You don't deserve to be in a relationship. You don't deserve to be in a relationship. You don't deserve to be in a relationship. You don't deserve to be in a relationship. You don't deserve to be in a relationship. You don't deserve to be in a relationship. I mean, if somebody does this coward, so that's how somebody does things. Yeah. Okay, all right, well thank you. I do understand what people are saying, like you don't deserve to be in an abusive relationship, but I do think you meet people where they are a lot of times because you might be there. And that's why I think the trauma,

I think we're talking about trauma bonds in a lot of situations. But then it's the flip side, right? When you start doing the work on yourself and you start loving yourself a different way and you start dealing with those insecurities and you start going on your healing journey, I think you'll meet people on that journey too.

Yeah, some people do that when they get in relationships. When they meet each other, they are both very damaged goods from previous relationships and then one person may start doing the work but the other person not and that's when you're not catching up, you're not on the same page and so that's how a lot of people outgrow each other as well. And some people don't realize that there's something better out there because you're so used to dealing with-

That one person. You're so comfortable. Yeah, you see that. A lot of people are comfortable in their situation and they don't want to try another situation because they don't know if they're going to get worse. That's right. And a lot of people think that they can change, like they can help people too. It's like, say for instance, if I get with somebody and he's like really, really damaged,

do I give up on him because he is damaged or is it like, can I help him? Yeah, you try to turn it into a project. You know what I mean? Yeah, a lot of people do that. A lot of times that can happen though. I think that happens with growth. I know, and I don't know if it's Charlamagne's situation, but I was so young when I met Guy.

I was 16. Me too, we was kids. So I had a lot of growing to do, you know? And we grew together, yeah. That's right, and we grew together. But 800-585-1051, are you in a relationship you deserve? Let's discuss, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning. ["The Breakfast Club," by The Breakfast Club plays.]

It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're asking asking are you in a relationship you deserve that this conversation comes from Mandy and wheezy. They were here promoting a new book no holes barred and we're asking are you in that relationship?

Let's listen to the conversation. And this is gonna sound bad. I do think everyone is with who they deserve. What do you mean? If you're with someone who isn't that great to you, it's because you don't believe you deserve better. Everyone in certain relationships, I feel like they deserve it because it's like, if you don't want better for yourself, no one can no one can lead you out of it. You could take a you could take a horse to water, but you can't make them drink it. And so I do think that what if you're in a bad relationship or not,

you don't feel like you deserve more. You're in a relationship you deserve. All right, well let's take your calls. Hello, who's this? Dee Dee. Hey Dee Dee, are you in a relationship you deserve? I'm single right now. So you deserve to be single? You deserve to be single right now?

Yes, I deserve to be single talking about how to treat me right. R, R, come on, let's look in the mirror too. R, until you are a person that can treat somebody else right. I treat everybody right. Yeah, yeah, I hear the little giggling in your voice. I heard you snickering in your voice. You know you done did a couple guys out here dirty.

No, guys do women dirty, so it's best to be single. Now, come on, now you gotta tell the universe, I want you to tell the universe what you want right now. Is it either best to be single or do you want somebody claim it right now? Which one? All right, okay forever Nope she just told the universe forever. Hello. Who's this? Hey, good morning cash. We're asking you deserve, let's talk about your relationship. Are you in a relationship you deserve right now?

No, I'm the single friend with all their advice, though. You what? I'm the single friend with all their advice. Oh, you're the single friend. So you're in a relationship you deserve. You deserve to be single. I mean, for now, you know what I mean? It was this for everybody that I continue to grow

and be the better I can be so I can attract what I need to attract. And see, now I agree. I love that. That's what she said. Now see, I like awareness and accountability because what I need to attract. I agree with what you said. Now see I like awareness and accountability because that's what Mandy was saying, that's what you saying. Awareness and accountability. Let's grow, let's evolve, let's do the work on each other so we can attract the person

that reflects that. Yeah, because you know some of the best relationships right now are the people who aren't willing to do the work. You said some of the best relationships are the people who what? Who aren are willing to Yeah, I got home girls that tell me all the time they not even dating nobody if they not in therapy, yeah But see the thing is I don't even necessarily believe that they they like the trauma You know what? I mean, they just may not know how to come up out of it You know A lot of people don't know how to move past and a lot of people don't even know that they're the trauma, you know what I mean? They just may not know how to come up out of it. You know, a lot of people don't know how to move past it.

And a lot of people don't even know that they're carrying trauma until you show that person that. You know what I mean? All right, well thank you. I mean, the moral of the story is I think, you know, what everybody is saying is true. Like, you know, just do the work on yourself, you know, so you can attract, you know, the healed person

that you're looking for, but you're not gonna attract the healed person until you are a more, but you're not gonna attract the healed person until you're a more healed version of yourself anyway. Yeah, and then I don't think healing is ever done. You know what I mean? Never. Life is gonna keep lifein'. You run into situations all the time.

It's always gonna be something to heal from. It's just knowing how to do that and how to properly assess yourself. That's right. But if you want more conversations like that to be sparked, then go pick up Mandy and Weezy's book No Holds Barred, a dual manifesto of sexual exploration and power. I guarantee you it's a whole bunch of stuff in the book just like that to debate. All right now we got the latest with Lauren coming up so don't move.

Oh damn we ain't even get Lauren in on this. She feel like she in a relationship she deserved? Shut up. She don't know. All right. The latest with Lauren when we come back is the Breakfast Locomoon.

You know what's funny is you do this weird math. Like, if you're a woman dating men, nobody wants to talk to you about your sexuality.

They just want to either say like you're a prude or a slut, you know? If you date too much, they criticize you. If you don't date, you must be frigid, whatever. And then the thing that gets added when you're actually more fluid with your sexuality is the swing goes to, you better identify exactly who you are so we can figure out what name to call you. And it's like, okay. And you know, I sort of looked around and was like, has nobody been paying attention

to like all the hot girls I've been kissing on camera? You know, maybe not in front of you off camera, but hi, I've always been here. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Show me how good it can get today, God, and show the rest of the world what we already know.

We Are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming with straight facts. Tell us! She gets into somebody that knows somebody. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on it. The latest with Lauren LaRosa.

Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. So, Stephanie Diggs has our girl Cardi B over in France. Girl, living like a royal highness. Literally. in a castle. Let's take a listen. This man got me in a castle. I took in a real castle. Why this man got a stain in a castle? I wonder Marie Antoinette was getting f***** cold down here. This real quack of that was in there.

Mind you, I've been told that every time I go to Europe, I can never go to Versailles. I can never go see in the trip. In England, he said, you want cash? I'll give you all the cash. Look how beautiful. This man is so adventurous. He got us in a f***ing castle. Like I can't believe we're staying in some place like this. When she was talking about the alligators, Cardi showed you in her video the moat, I believe that's what it's called outside of the castle. She shows you that and she says there's real alligators in the castle. It's huge. It's just for them too. Yeah, for their

vacation. Cardi's been to white castles in the Bronx before though. It ain't like she ain't never been in a castle. Oh, you're funny. She got something about that white castle. She got something about that castle. It's not like she ain't ever been in a castle. This is a different type of castle, sir. Yeah, man. Oh my god. I love that. Yes.

Well, shout out to Carti. I was going to say shout out to Castle Carti. Shout out to Carti and Stephon Diggs. Now in other news, one of the center congratulations to Cameron. So yesterday, Cameron posted via his Instagram an announcement that he has inked a $750,000 book deal with Simon and Schuster. One of the big five publishers. I know Shalman you have a footprint with them as well too right? BlackPill is publishing they published all my books but then I have a book in print over there. Drop on the clues bombs for

Cameron. Yes. So he says in his announcement that you know at the end of this this could potentially get him To seven figures with this deal and that at the time he doesn't have an actual release date for an autobiography But he is aiming to do something in February of 2026 so he's looking to tell his story through books So shout out to him. If you can write a rap you can write a book. Yes And the dope thing about Cameron he has such a history that a lot of people don't know how he started and his relationship with Mace and then Biggie signing him and all the things that he went through and Rockefeller.

So, and then all this personal stuff and how he was a great basketball player and him and Mace were actually supposed to go to college and they were talking about going to the league at one time. So his history is long. And these people be having stories that we don't know anything about and the thing about a book, a book,

you know, allows you to really, really talk about those intimate details of your life. So I hope it's a memoir that he's writing. Yeah, I was excited when I saw the announcement for that reason, I felt like he is gonna be, he's such a good storyteller that the book is gonna be full of that as well too. I love watching those interviews.

And then lastly, I wanted to send another congratulations to some of the people who made the 2025 XXL Freshman Cover. Now, I feel like the only two people you guys would know is Jello. Who is you guys? Who you know from the XXL Freshman Cover, Charlamagne? Oh, you're talking to us specifically? Yeah, I'm talking to you and Envy.

Oh, OK, OK. Well, you gotta say that. You're talking to millions of people. Oh, sorry. I be talking like I'm just talking to y'all in the room. I'm so used to talking to y'all. But yes, so from the Double XL Freshman cover, when I looked at it, I was like,

man, I want to send a congratulations to everybody. But I feel like Envy and Charlamagne will probably only know Jello Ball and Ray Vaughn. Why is Jello on there? Jello got one record. He got two records. He got the record with- Glorilla, right?

The one with Glorilla. But the other one came and went. Everybody loves. But they both came and went. They both came and went. Let me see. That makes you, that gets you on the double XL list? Girl, I don't know nobody on there either.

You know, okay. 33, geez. 33 too, and I... Who's Jello? Oh, Jello and Rayvon. They the only two I know. I feel like you would know YTP Fat. You would know him by his song.

My son probably, yeah. Yeah, because his song was circulating on socials uh samarasin Um, a lot of people are playing her music right now. Little shimmy. I'm gonna be honest with y'all There was like four on here where I was like dang my game. I'm a rug rat Who is that? I don't know any of those people and i'm fine I know because the reality of the situation is when you end up on those magazine covers that should serve as a Synth that should serve as a place of discovery. Yes, 100%.

If I'm interested in going to see it. Yes, if I'm being honest, there were people in here that I was like, I don't know these names, let me hear the songs. And some of the songs I knew because of like TikTok or Instagram, but I didn't know the artists themselves. A lot of times you hear these songs on TikTok and you don't even know they're a whole song until later, right? But I need to hear what 1900s Rugrats got going on. That's really the name?

Yes, 1900 Rugrats. Did you have one? No, not from him. Okay. Well, yeah, so shout out to them, especially Ray Vaughan. I met him in the BET media room. And when I sat down and talked to him, we did an interview. I was so surprised by how big and friendly his personality is. Like his music is so like battle rap a lot

of times. Ray Vaughn been around though, right? Yeah. Ray Vaughn like y'all age. I didn't know about him though until all the back and forth with Joey Badass. Or Joey. Yeah, you can say Joey Badass. It's Joey Badass. Okay. Yeah. I didn't know about him honestly until that back and forth. It made me be like,

who is this? And then when we talked to him in the media room I was like your personality is so bigger than not that nothing's wrong with just rapping but he has a really big personality it was great conversation with him. For people that don't know he signed the t.d.e. He's from the west coast. Ray Vaughn is actually 29. The good the bad and the dollar menu is a great great project. Yeah. I've been heard of him. Who is laser dem seven hundred? I don't know. That's right. He's someone on the double XL freshman cover list. And I just want you to know thirty-three is just uh young in this room. Okay.
