Well, Stoneboy will be joining us this morning. Tell the people who Stoneboy is, man. Stoneboy is a, I don't want to say he's an Afrobeat artist. He's an artist from Ghana. He does Afrobeat and a bunch of other music as well. And dancehall. A little bit of everything. We're going to be talking to him.

One of Ghana's biggest artists. Yeah, I met him when I was out in Ghana when I was leaving the Silver Fox, which is an amazing gentleman's club. It is. Amazing strip club.

You know, he was coming out of another spot that was right next door. And we chopped it up and he said he was going to be in New York. So I'm like, pull up. Okay.

So he pulled up. And he got a show here in March at the Garden. So we're going to Kicking it with him And then we got Front page news next We got some updates On everything that's

Going on in Memphis You know yesterday Attorney Benjamin Crump Checked in and told us Some of the things Was going on Well there's some more Updates we'll get to it next

It's the Breakfast Club Good morning Morning everybody It's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha Guy We are the Breakfast Club We got our guest host NeNe Leakes

Joining us this morning Yes And let's get in some Front page news Now two additional Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, NeNe Leakes, joining us this morning. Yes. And let's get in some front page news. Now, two additional Memphis police officers, including the white officer that was tased in Tyree Nichols, have been, they say, relieved of their duty.

So not fired, not charged, just relieved of duty. That's what it says, relieved of their duty. Preston Hemphill is the white cop's name, and they're saying an unidentified officer relieved of their duty yesterday that's why when you say people say you know it is about the system but it's also about race you know what i mean because you know five black police officers fired charged with murder within 20 days but their names are put out there now they're saying an unidentified officer you know it's but this the white the white officer i didn't they didn't go grab him until people started raising hell about it on social media.

And they didn't say fired. And he still didn't get fired and charged. They said relieved of their duty. Not fired and charged. It's relieved of duty. Whatever the hell that means. Yeah. Now, also, three Memphis Fire Department employees are fired for violating protocol in response to the fatal beating of Tyree Nichols.

All right. response to the fatal beating of Tyree Nichols all right Robert Long and Jermichael Sanders the two emts who responded to the calls who just kind of just sat around and allegedly did nothing uh they were uh let go as well tragic tragic situation man I mean that's saying it's a shame is an understatement I don't know what that is at this point. And the bad part about it is we know it's going to happen again. Some brother or some sister at the hands of the police. Wow. Yeah, lastly, also, a high schooler was arrested for breaking a school teacher's leg. What?

Students told me she was transported to the juvenile detention center, and a Rockdale County School District administrator said that student will face criminal charges. We got permission to speak to a student who saw the whole thing. Was it scary at the time? It wasn't scary. It was shocking. She's a pretty good teacher, but how she talks, I would say she talks aggression. How she talks to kids is not a proper way to talk to them. His mother agrees. What I think the problem is, is the teachers are not taking a class on how to deal with children.

You have to learn de-escalation techniques to help those kids versus aggravate a situation. That student is on suspension and they fully expect her to face criminal charges. I'm so confused here so the teacher got her leg broke by the student yeah student did they get into a fight yeah got into a fight we have audio of the altercation you can play the audio oh my goodness this is the heavyset teacher? Heavyset teacher, yeah.

Fighting the girl with glasses? Yes. I saw this. Stop it. That's ninth grader, so 14, 15 years old. They asking too much of these teachers, man. Absolutely. I do think the teachers need to de-escalate.

They do. Sure, but if you put your hands on me as a student, I feel like the teacher has every right to defend themselves. You know what I mean? I saw the teacher holding herself back from fighting the young lady.

But it's just like, how much restraint do you want her to show when she's being attacked? Last week, I seen another teacher. It was a black teacher. I think one of the students called him the N-word. He said,

if you call me that again, it's a problem. Was it a student no it was black okay black on black and he dragged them i mean teachers are tired man first of all they're not getting paid a lot of money they don't have the the access and a lot of supplies they need and then sometimes students go push them how about they're just human and the first law of nature is self-preservation somebody punch you in the face your reaction is to fight back. Yeah, but you chose to teach these students. Thank you for your punch in the face.

You should have control and you should learn how to de-escalate a situation. NeNe, I refuse to believe you're going to let a 17-year-old punch you in the face. No. Exactly. Not hardly, but listen, I'm also not going to escalate the situation.

NeNe, if a 14-year-old comes up to you and snuffs you, you snuffing that girl back. You're going to drag up and down for that one. I totally believe that. Yeah, but there's a reason for them to do that, though. They're not just walking up to teachers like punching them in the face. Now, the video I saw of that young lady and that teacher, it looked like the young lady just wouldn't calm down for whatever reason.

And she just kept getting in the teacher's face, getting in the teacher's face. She hit first and everything. That's what I saw. Yeah, that's the video I saw. That's what I saw. And the teacher was showing a lot of lottery scrap. But, boy, you're asking a lot of them teachers to be taking them blows to the face and not be fighting back. Well, obviously, that student didn't have that behavior just on that day. So maybe she should have gotten help days before or weeks before.

That's true, too. That's true, too. But, boy, you're just asking a lot of these teachers, you know, asking a lot of these teachers not to just respond when they get punched in the face oh it's gonna wind up happening these teachers kids gonna start coming to school and whooping these students ass one of the two you forget my mom was a teacher so you forget these people's you know mom these teachers are people's mothers that's right sisters yes you know you just never know all right well that is front page news get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent phone lines are wide open again

Hey, this is Chris from Indianapolis Hey, Chris from Indianapolis Get it off your chest, Chris Yeah, I want to talk about the student uh, student breaking the teacher's leg. Talk to me. I feel it both ways. I used to work in schools and you got some teachers that have been paganizing kids all year long and then kids snap.

But you've also got those kids who come in and there is no deescalation. No, the teacher has got the kid out of classroom. Uh huh. Deescalated the whole situation, separated the whole situation, called the kid's mother to report what was going on in the classroom. The kid came back and just hit him from behind and commenced to beat him down. Yeah, man. I mean, that video that we were talking about earlier, that woman had every right to defend herself.

I don't know the whole situation leading up to that video, but boy, y'all asking a lot of teachers, you know, y'all asking a lot of teachers to tell them to restrain themselves when they're getting hit on like that. I will say this too, and I definitely know that I would know that

they would call my parents, and my parents would whoop my ass when I got home, so that would make me not want to get into an altercation or argument with a teacher because I would have to see that work for my pops and my moms

when I got home. And it's also just things we never thought about. I never thought about putting hands on no teacher. Hell no. Me either. I knew what the consequences would be from exactly what you said.

My parents. And my mom was a teacher. So I had a different respect and reverence for teachers. I'm not doing that. No. Hello, who's this? It's Tyrone from Slidell. Tyrone, what's up?

Get it off your chest. Man, people need to learn how to mind their business at work. I don't understand why you can't just mind your business, go to work, and come home. What you did? You done stole something? What you done did? You done worked extra? What you done did that somebody told on you, bro?

You know, people be getting mad because what's your hours you work? See? You trying to just go home, you know? People just get all in your business. Trying to get their troubles up for no reason. I just told somebody who called in to mind their business that he worried about who not coming to work. Right.

Right. Mind your business, Lord. We had to do one thing. Get this money and go home. Where you calling from? Southampton, bro. Where you calling from? Southampton, Louisiana.

95. Okay, okay. Smooth to everybody in Louisiana. All right, brother. Yes, sir. Hello, move to everybody in Louisiana. All right, brother. Yes, sir. Hello, who's this? This is D-Night from Vauxhall, New Jersey. D-Night or D-Night as in nighttime?

D-Night. My name is D-Night. All right, well, get it off your chest. Yeah, I wanted to talk about the students being up to teach us this morning. Yep. I think it's a problem at home. I grew up in the early 90s going to elementary school, being up to teach us this morning. Yep. I think it's a problem at home. I grew up in the early 90s of going to elementary school

and I caught the telling of teachers having permission to punish the students. Yep. And when you was home, your grandparents or your parents would take the teacher's side no matter what.

Yep. If you acted up in school, you was in trouble when you got home. Right. And now they start to teach these kids that, you know, they got their own voice

and to protect their emotions and stuff like that. So, you know, I think it's going a little too far. You know what? These kids only making

like 40K. You made me think about something just now. 40K is a lot. The most my mom ever made in South Carolina was 30,000 a year. But you made me think about something. She beating up on the most my mom ever made in South Carolina was 30,000 a year she made me think about something

she beating up on an adult at home cause for her to go out in the real world and think she can try an adult she done won at home at least once or twice

ain't no adult ever beat her ass in the house that's what it is that's probably true but I would say this like he said I was at the tail end

of Miss Butterfield out in Queens Caribbean teacher who would grab my cheeks and twist my cheeks if I wasn't paying attention. That's abuse. I mean. A lot of those teachers did used to abuse us.

I had a teacher named Miss F***ed Up. F us up in fourth grade. She ain't never put her hands on me. But boy, I used to see her drag some kids around that classroom. Now, shout out to Miss Butterfield. Miss Butterfield, me and her son was good. But she would grab your cheek if you wasn't paying attention. But it kept the students in line.

She'd grab your cheek. Now she's going to get a whole handful of ink because all that Beijing. Yo, shut up. Get it off your chest. 800-585-105. When we got rumors on the way, give us a tease. Come on, Beijing.

Come on, Nene. We got rumors, but we teasing. Oh, my gosh. So we're gonna be talking about Lotto. You know, we heard that she was wearing the same underwear.

Over and over and over? Over and over and over. We'll get to it next.'s The Breakfast Club, good morning The Breakfast Club Morning everybody It's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club We got our guest host NeNe Leakes joining us

Morning NeNe Let's get to rumors Rumor hazard Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatting i'm gossiping this is the rumor report i mean i guess we on the breakfast club this is where the tea spills right yes on the breakfast club but we starting okay so lotto shuts down the panty police selling her underwear on ebay lotto 24 has decided to sell her used underwear in response to

an internet troll who called her out for wearing the same cheetah print underwear twice. How the hell do they know if she wears the same dress? Well, on Sunday, a Twitter user posted two photos pointing out that Lotto's underwear, along with the caption, can't afford new panties?

The attempt to embarrass Lotto fell short when other twitter users responded to the post by pointing out that everyone washes and rewears underwear so what decided to do was um start this whole ebay auction about her underwear and she started at 99 cent and it went all the way up to 1515,000. But people purchasing her used underwear. Now I'm so confused because I was born in 1978 so I thought that we all

rewashed our drawers and rewashed. Well actually what happened was she was wearing some cheetah underwear. They could see them through her clothes and the next day she was wearing another outfit and they could see cheetah underwear through her clothes. And they were like, oh you're wearing the same underwear twice? You don't wash your underwear?

And so she went on social media and showed her whole panty drawer that she has all of these underwear and she buys several of the same. Don't you buy several of the same underwear?

Yeah, absolutely. I buy a pack. I buy a pack from Target. Oh, you buy a pack from Target? Yeah, I get the whole pack of the... Oh, you shop at Target too? What do I like to get?

Oh, don't look down there. Well, I got on Ethica drawers right now but I usually wear... That's not from Target. I know, he's not from Target. I usually wear Fruit of the... Oh, you shop at Target, too? What do I like to get? Oh, don't look down there. Well, I got on Ethica drawers right now, but I usually wear... That's not where I'm at Target. I know, you're not at Target, but I usually wear Fruity of the Looms. Oh, you do? Oh, I didn't even know men wear those. Do women go to Target for underwear? I don't go to Target for underwear.

You know, I like to go to La Perla, and if I'm running through the mall, I grab something from Victoria's Secrets. Yeah, I mean, but I don't like... I've never purchased Target underwear. That feels like i will go in there to purchase target underwear for a little boy target underwear before a teenager i've never no i wasn't but i always have probably worn victoria's secrets okay okay you know i've never gone into target to get underwears i just can't even remember that time. Even when I wasn't purchasing my own underwear. I think, you know,

my mom probably bought my underwear from somewhere, not even Target, like Walmart probably. We would go to TJ Maxx and Marshalls to get our underwear as a child. As a kid.

Calvin Klein, I would wear. Same. TJ Maxx, definitely. I just found out that, you know, women be wearing boxer briefs. Like, I didn't know. Like, two women that I love

who work up here, they wear boxer briefs. Oh, they might be tough. that I love who work up here, they wear boxer briefs. Oh, they might be tough. Like tough girls. What you mean tough, NeNe? NeNe, what you mean? They're tough. What you mean tough, NeNe?

Define tough. They different. What you mean? Like Cleo and Fennel are tough? What you mean? They look different. I did ask y'all. You know what I mean.

What else you got, Liga? I didn't know. I didn't know women wear boxer briefs, so I didn't know. Me either. So they pull them down and they have on boxers?

They said they do it. I didn't know. I didn't know the thing. I had no idea. Oh, they tough. Okay, okay, okay. Well, listen. Chicago prosecutors

have dropped the sex abuse charges against R. Kelly. A Cook County prosecutor has dropped 10 charges of sex abuse against R. Kelly yesterday, citing the purpose

is to save on expenses. R. Kelly is already serving 30-year prison sentence on charges of federal racketeering and sex trafficking. So basically, you know, he's here in New York, right? I didn't realize he was here. Why is he not in Chicago?

Because I think this was his first case. This was his first case here. I guess it makes sense. Why spend money on another case when he already got 30, 40 years already, right already right yeah he's already got a lot of time he's gonna be in court today in new york city actually was so that they can formally drop the charges against him but i actually never knew he was in new york so he's actually right here yeah i think he's uh staying in brooklyn wow in the jail in brooklyn yeah i did not know that when you said that i was like well that don't make no sense. But I guess it does make sense because I be thinking about when somebody gets one charge

and they get like 100 years. And I'm like, I was thinking like, when do they give leniency on people for how much time they give them? But I guess if it's a whole other case somewhere else, they have to spend the money, jury, taxpayers money. He's already going to be there until he expires. Yeah, that's true. That's true.

What's the point? Oh, gosh, I got to tell you guys about this. Flavor Flav, you know, and I used to love Flavor Flav back in the day. So he's claiming that he spends about $2,400 to $2,600. Well, he did spend about $2,400 to $2,600 a day on crap. That's cap. I kind of maintained myself very well. You know what I'm saying?

While I was on that, you feel me? And not only that part, I kind of kept it hidden. I started letting people know what I was doing when I was getting tired of being like that. And there was a time that I was spending 2400,400 to $2,600 a day for six years straight. You do the math. And that's how much I spent on drugs.

I ain't going to lie, but I sold a lot because I was my best customer. You know, I guess God wanted me to live. You feel me? And he knows that I'm a mouthpiece to the world. He said he was selling it for the you selling it too he wasn't just using it no he wasn't but he's spending $2,500 a month $900,000 a year $2,500 i thought you said it $2,500 a day that's $900,000 a year $2,500 i can see her day i did too i said the same thing i said people who do drugs

no no i can see that because people who do drugs. No, no, I can understand. No, no, no. I can see that because people who do drugs, they find a way. Yes. They are going to find a way no matter what. Yes. So, you know. 2,500 a day? And you got to think he's around people.

He probably was a partier at the time. So, he probably had other people using with him. You know what I mean? And he was selling other people. I can see that. Well, he's celebrating six years clean. So, congratulations to him. Shout out to Flavor Flavor.

That's right. Yeah. He's 63 years old. Wow. We got to get Flavor up here one time. And that's good. He can tell his story, and he survived it,

so other people can find inspiration in that. Yeah, well, he spent a whole lot of money, honey. Where'd he get all his money from, Flav? Flavor Flavor was one of the biggest reality stars out. He paved the way for y'all. Yeah, listen, I love Flavor Flav. Listen, honey, I love him. That Flavor Love franchise set it off for reality shows.

In a real way. What a way to spend your money, though. That was back when you were buying panties from Target. Right, Walmart. Walmart. All right, well that is your rumor report. We got front page news next. We'll tell you what Americans are not liking about this country.

We'll get to it next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Looking to turn a small bet into a big payday?

I just saw Envy look at NeNe and say, I don't like nothing hot in my mouth. Like, what? No, she was asking if I drink coffee or tea, and I was like, I don't like anything hot Oh, that's what that was. I didn't know. I just heard that part. He doesn't even like hot pizza. Like I was like I don't like anything hot in my mouth. I didn't know. I just heard that part. He doesn't even like hot pizza. Like hot pizza, I can't eat anything hot.

Huh? So you don't like hot food? I like room temperature food. Just a little warm. If it's too hot, I can't eat it. Boy, you light skin. Even when I would get a pizza, I got to put the pizza in the fridge for like 30 seconds and cool it off. I never heard that in my life. What does that even mean? I mean, I guess nobody wants scorching hot food. I don't like scorching hot.

That's what burns the top of your mouth. That's what I said. But that's what coffee does. That's what tea does for me. What does that even mean? I mean, I guess, yeah, nobody wants scorching hot food. I don't like scorching hot. That's what burns the top of your mouth. That's what I said. But that's what coffee does. That's what tea does for me. Soup does. It's always hot. It's around your lips. You can't blow on it.

That's what you blow on your... Never mind. You said he likes it. That's right. Let's get some front page dudes. Now, Americans now say there's a lot of things they hate about this country.

All right. The number one thing they hate about the country is the government and poor leadership they're saying 20 of the people that was uh asked that they hate the leadership after that 15 said inflation then it was immigration then uh economy in general so that was the top four things people hate about america i get it but i mean number three is i number three they need to define a little bit more because i mean all of us are immigrants in some way shape or form i guess they mean uh the legal immigrants and legal immigrants yep now also we always talk about

our kids and the effects of social media now there's a new uh surgeon general saying that 13 he believes is too young for children to be on social media based on on the data I've seen, believe that 13 is too early. It's a time where it's really important for us to be thoughtful about what's going into how they think about their own self-worth and their relationships. And this skewed and often distorted environment of social media often does a disservice to many of those children. Duh. I was reading that story yesterday in the kitchen telling my wife, duh. Like, who doesn't know that like we saw this five six years ago and in the next decade or so we're going to look back and realize the impact of social media on the brain not just for kids adults too it's totally ruined our cognitive abilities the way we process information the way we so-called understand things everything it's it's ruined us

yeah so there's no turning back at what age do you allow your kids to have social media then you know because they're i hate to say it but their friends got social media a lot of them you know they speak through social media they don't have to they got getting social media platforms when they baby yep you know so i mean i don't know i think it's okay as long as you have some sort of parental parental control on it and that article was saying that, you know, it ruins the way that they see themselves. You know what I mean? Because think about it. You're not emotionally developed at that age.

You know, think about if you had to go through puberty on social media. Every pimple, you know, every growth spurt, you know, and you're getting clowned for that. Come on, man. That stuff be living permanently online. Nobody, no. It's trauma living permanently online? Nobody knows. It's trauma. And lastly, we were talking about a high school student in Georgia that broke her teacher's leg.

Students told me she was transported to the juvenile detention center, and a Rockdale County School District administrator said that student will face criminal charges. We got permission to speak to a student who saw the whole thing. Was it scary at the time? It wasn't scary. It was shocking. She's a pretty good teacher, but how she talk, I would say she talk aggression. How she talk to kids is not a proper way to talk to them. His mother agrees. What I think the problem is, is the teachers are not taking a class on how to deal with children.

You have to learn de-escalation techniques to help those kids versus aggravate a situation. That student is on suspension and they fully expect her to face criminal charges. I saw that video. I feel like they're making a lot of excuses for that girl. You know what I mean? She ain't got no business putting her hands on that teacher like that do i agree that they need de-escalation tactics and you know some of these kids are emotionally unstable dealing with mental health issues yes but that still don't give you no right to attack somebody in that way and that teacher showed a lot of lottery strength and they thought about she broke her leg i'm like did she

break her leg or was it her weight that she fell combined with the way she fell that broke her leg because i know that student didn't break her leg well if you listen to the interview that the student before was saying that uh the teacher talks really aggressive to the students and he didn't think that was the proper way to speak to them that's still don't give that young girl no right you know something happened prior to that. That didn't just happen. Something happened before that. And this is in Rockdale County outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Yeah, so I'm surprised. What, that's a nice county or something? Well, it's not a bad county.

All right. Yeah, see, there's a couple of things that bother me. One, I would never put my hand on a teacher because I know that if I had to go home, my father was going to whoop my ass. My mother was going to whoop my ass. That's A. And B, I grew up in Queens Village, Queens, and it's a very Caribbean, Haitian area, right? My mother actually started

the basketball team in school because all we had was football, soccer. They beat kids out there. Those Caribbean teachers, you wasn't doing that to them. They don't beat kids. Yeah, they're going to beat your ass. There was no way you were getting around it.

And when you got home, you were going to get your ass beat. That's just what it was. So if you ever raised your voice, raised your hand, raised your hand. It was also different back then, too, because they really did take a village, right? So everybody had permission to go upside your head. You know what I mean?

If they was watching you for some period of time, teacher, otherwise, they have permission to go upside your head. Now, I don't want no teacher putting hands on my children. But, you know, growing up in the 1900s was a bit different. Do you think these classrooms Need security now Yes I've been said that Every classroom

Man First of all They need metal detectors For all these Fools that are bringing guns And yes They do need security Because that is not

In a teacher's pay grade To have to fight off your kid In every classroom Security in every class At least on each hall At least in a hall But in every classroom That would make it uncomfortable You're trying to do work And you gotta look up And see a security guard At least on each hall. At least in a hall. But in every classroom? That would make it uncomfortable.

You're trying to do work and you got to look up and see a security guard. At least in the hall. At least in the hall. Because them fights be going on too long. They do. That woman was fighting for weeks too long for her age. You know what I'm saying? Help!

And there was nobody there to break it up. The kids ain't breaking it up. All of them got their phones out recording. The teachers don't know what's going on. Yes, they need bouncers in the schools. So what is the question? Should teachers be able to defend themselves? In that case, yes.

That woman had every right to go off on that little girl. She should have beat that little girl ass. She was showing a lot of restraint. 800-585-1051. She got a broke leg because she didn't defend herself. Well, she might have failed wrong. Should teachers be able to put hands on students, especially self-defense? In self-defense, yes. I don't mean

just wailing off on kids for no reason. In self-defense, yes. Who wouldn't? We're hearing stories about six-year-olds coming to school shooting teachers, man. You know what I'm saying? These classrooms need a panic button or something. That's what they need. That's what they really need, a panic button. While I'm

pressing this button, I'm getting my ass wailed on. You better panic in that moment and fight back 800-585-1051 let's discuss it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Our celebrity guest host, Nene, is here. Yes, indeed. Hello. And if you're just joining us, we're talking about an incident that happened out in Georgia, around your neck of the woods, where a young lady, a young kid, beat the brakes off a student. I mean, beat the brakes off a teacher. Excuse me. kid uh beat the brakes off a student i mean beat the brakes of a teacher excuse me a student beat the brakes off a teacher let's let's hear the audio oh my goodness So we're asking 800-585-1051

Should teachers be allowed to put hands on kids? Let's start with you Nene Well listen now I'm not for that But when I was in school We would get sent to the office And get paddled and all of that stuff or suspended and everything. And, of course, I got beatings when I was growing up. So I would go home and get a beating, right?

But did you need it? Did you need the beating? Were they warranted? I think so. Yeah? Yeah, I think so. But I definitely do not believe in the teachers putting their hands on the students. Even in self-defense? I feel like they should be able to put their hands on the kids in self-defense.

Now, growing up, South Carolina, Whitefield Elementary School, there was this one teacher in fourth grade. Boy, she used to drag us kids around that damn trailer. I have learned that there's different parenting, and I've learned from being a mom that you can talk to some kids and really get them to do the things that you need them to do. Oh, I agree with you, Nene, 100%. But once they put hands on you, if the talking don't work and they put hands on you, the teacher should be able to defend themselves.

No, no, no. You be like, no, no. Put your hand down. Oh, no. Nene, I don't believe you. Now, once you put your hands on me, you get flipped. No, I mean, when you start, no, no, no. So we've already established boundaries.

No, no, no. You know, already established boundaries. No, no, no. You know, you don't put your hands over here. You don't come. So you're going to let them get one head off? No, because they're not going to do it because I'm going to be talking to them like, no, no, no. Because you're going to be looking at me like, I'm going to beat your ass. So no. Now, what about them tough girls you were talking about that wear boxer briefs now?

Yeah, what about them? What if one of them put hands on you? I'm going to have to fight them back now. You got to. That to that's all i'm saying let me ask you a question right so you talk about the escalating yes there's an incident in your class and the students getting wild you hit the panic button or you call security so now security comes in the classroom to help you out right yes the kid doesn't want to leave the classroom right so now security got to remove the kid so now when security starts to remove the kid the kid's fighting security now it's an incident that everybody's filming it and now it goes viral and now what happens from there i think that you need that i think you need security

in school security lose their job well i think you need security in school then i think you need uh mental health professionals that can help de-escalate those kind of situations because clearly that young lady was having some type of manic breakdown you know what i don't have it on me as a teacher that That's my point. And see, I blame her household because that little girl was farting a dope before and won. That's the problem. Because all it takes is one adult to put hands on you, go upside your head, and you know not to play with somebody grown. Now, let me ask you a question.

Would you be mad? You're a teacher. You do your job every day. The teacher was overweight, right? She wasn't fighting back, right? Let's say the teacher had a little taste. Leave that woman alone, man. She might have been hungry.

You know what I mean? Sugar might have been low. Yo, shut up. And she ain't feel like fighting in that moment. But I'm with you. But that's my point. She had every right

to defend herself. Yes. That teacher needs a medal because she showed a lottery screen. I'm not a fighter. I can't fight. Lord have mercy.

I was about to say that. What if she can't fight? That's right. Get a little taste of it. Hello, who's this? What's up? This is Mr. Physical Education. J.D. What's up? This is Mr. Physical Education. Hey, D.

What's up? A student attacked you, bro? Yeah, man. What happened? Straight up, I want to shout out. I'm going to the child's high school in the Bronx. They're not doing enough for their teachers. Yo, so basically, y'all and I, you know, when you're in charge of physical education, you

got some of the kids that want to cut. I mean, so one day, you know, I just got tired of it, man. I told the student, there's one particular student that he had to cut. I said, you know what? I'm going to cut him. I'm going to cut him. I'm going to cut him. I'm going to cut him.

I'm going to cut him. I'm going to cut him. I'm going to cut him. I'm going to cut him. I'm going to cut him. I'm you got some of the kids that want to cut. I mean, so one day, you know, I just got tired of it, man. I told the student, there's one particular student that he had to go. Long story short, he tried to hit me up, man. And you had every right to defend yourself, and I hope you did, especially in the Bronx. Well, no, I didn't. I really didn't put my hands on him because I already knew what was going to cause me.

I mean, so I didn't hit him. I grabbed him by the arms and I pushed him under the gym door. I really didn't put my hands on them because I already knew what was going to cause me. Right. I mean, so I didn't put my hands on them. I grabbed them by the arms and I pushed them under the gym door. But, of course, you know, they was recorded that day. So that was a wrap for me right here. That's not fair. Like, self-defense should apply in a school as well. Because if that little boy does that to you in the street, they're going to lock that little boy up and probably try him as an adult.

And if you stay on your ground and use self-defense against that little boy, you're not going to get in no trouble in the street, they're going to lock that little boy up and probably try him as an adult. And if you stay on your ground and use self-defense against that little boy, you're not going to get in no trouble in the street. Especially with students bringing knives and guns

and weapons to school. And you're in the Bronx. Yeah, well, you know, I'm not there to hurt anybody's kids, so that wasn't why I did what I did. Right.

I really wanted to get them out of the gym because I knew that if you would have hit me up one time, hit me with my jaw, then I would have got arrested. Right. That's what it was all about. I had to get him out of the gym because I knew that if he would have screwed me up one time and hit me with my jaw, then I would have got arrested. Right.

That's what it was all about. I had to get my body in before he talked to me. My brother, I respect you for not wanting to hurt nobody's kids, but what about your own self? What about self-preservation?

What about that kid not hurting you? Well, I wasn't worried about that, man, you know, because he's just a kid. I said, you know, long story short, he's just a kid.

Wasn't really worried about that part, but I definitely had to get him in my body because, yo, Solomon, if he would have squared me up, it would have been a wrap. I don't see the problem with that. These people lose their jobs. Yeah, they lose their jobs, their career, their retirement, and all that. A teacher lost their life because of six-year-old Shana. What about the teacher? Penny, good morning.

Good morning. How are you guys? We're doing well. What about the teacher? Penny, good morning. Good morning. How are you guys? We're doing well. What's your thoughts, Penny? I believe that that teacher had every right to beat her grown ass because she was acting like she was grown. So she needed to fight her. And then when her mama comes, she fights her too since she didn't teach her no manners.

That's right. That's right. Teachers have every right to defend themselves. Oh, man. I'm so sorry. Now, let me ask you a question, right? In that incident, the teacher was overweight. We've seen it so let's stop saying that i don't know why you keep saying that that is not relative to the story i don't know why you keep saying that the

teacher grabbed the girl and put her weight on the girl she should have that's what she said she probably didn't know self-defense that sounds like a self-defense technique and she doesn't know that i i honestly think she was just trying to show restraint when i watched the video i see a woman trying to show restraint that hesitation caused her to get hit up and ended up on the ground that's that's what happened she hesitated because she's thinking oh this is a child and i don't want to lose my job man you got every right to defend yourself that's not fair them teachers y'all asking a lot of them teachers man you're already underpaying them now you're telling them that they can't protect

themselves hell no 800-585-1051 should uh teachers be able to protect themselves in the classroom should they be able to put hands on kids and students it's the breakfast club good morning call me and your opinion to the Breakfast Club top come on 800-585-1051 morning everybody it's DJ Envy Charlamagne Tha Guy we are the Breakfast Club

our guest host NeNe Leakes is joining us this morning yeah and we're talking about teachers being able to defend themselves should teachers be able

to put their hands on students I don't like how you wording that though cause you making it seem like we just in here advocating for teachers to put their hands on students? I don't like how you wording that, though, because you're making it seem like we just in here advocating for teachers to put hands on kids. No, in self-defense, yes, I believe teachers should be able to put their hands on kids. My mom is a teacher.

My mother is older, but she's a teacher. She's retired, but sometimes she subs every now and then. I would want my mother to be able to defend herself if one of them little badass kids did something to her. And I want my brothers to go up to the school and beat them little boys ass. That's another thing, too. Like, if my mother was a teacher, we got enough family members that if something happened, they coming up to that school. That's right.

I got little brothers, little sisters. They can go handle stuff like that. You know what I mean? But, yes, the teacher should be able to defend themselves. Well, let's go to the phone lines. A lot of people there. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Angelica.

Hey, Angelica. Now, Angelicaica you a teacher i am i literally just got to work too talk to us angelica uh well i can see the spectrum from both ends i'm a teacher and my parent with a student who does have a lot of aggressive issues and i have to tell him every day these teachers do not come to work to have to referee you and have to fight off you every day. Fortunately, he's only in fourth grade, but he's a big boy. And like I tell him, you don't want nobody putting your hands on me, so why would you do it to your teachers?

That's true. And like the lady was saying in the interview, we don't get training on how to de-escalate situations. We try not to hurt kids, but on God, let the kids put their hands on me like a big one. I'm only 5'4". I'm fighting for my life. Did you say on God? That's right.

On God. That's right. That's right. Let there be a school shooting. I'm not trying to save all these kids. I got my own child I'm trying to get to.

And that's a real situation. Yeah, I mean, listen, none of that stuff is in y'all pay grade. You know what I mean? And by the way, imagine having to train teachers for combat. Right. Train teachers for self-defense.

Train teachers to have to avoid shootings. What is this, the military? Right. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. That's not right. Angelica, where you from? I'm from being in the military.

Where you from? You should get better benefits. I'm from North Carolina. North Carolina. All right. Thank you, mama. Thank you. Have a great day. Have a good day in class. I'm from North Carolina. North Carolina. All right. Thank you, Mama. Thank you. Have a great day.

Have a good day in class. Bye-bye. Bye. Bye. Hello? Hello? Hey, turn your radio down, Mama. Yes, I am.

Now, we're talking about teachers defending themselves in the classroom. What's your thoughts, Ma? All right. I think it's 50-50. One, these kids don't have much discipline walking outside of their house that they think they can talk to any adult how they want to. Two, these adults

and their selves, they don't have limits. Their life is stressful, get it, but you have lived, so you should know how to control certain situations. If you know that child is reckless, you don't approach that child that's

just like approaching a madman on the street no one ain't mad you see them saying you've been dealing with this child i went to school back in the days we couldn't talk to the teachers like that because like you said parents was handling that but the parents is reckless now so who teaching who yeah i mean you need people in the school to help de-escalate situations. You need mental health professionals. Because like I said earlier, a lot of these kids are dealing with like emotional and mental, you know, health issues. You know, and to me, when I look at that video, I see a girl having a manic breakdown. Right.

And I see a teacher that's not equipped to be able to de-escalate that situation. And it turned violent real quick because the student turned violent. And now the teacher's just sitting there stuck sitting there stuck you know big rolling on the floor for no damn reason leg broke for real hello this good morning good morning called this Felita calling from Chicago hey Felita now what are you doing in Chicago if these kids act up on you mama Mama? Oh, no. We're going to beat the brakes off of them. We're going to do that little time that they're going to hand out. Yeah,

we're not going. I'm actually not a teacher. Okay. And the Lord knew never to put me in that type of position. I'm old school. And I refuse to have anybody's child put their hands on me

I think in order to stop this because it looks like these parents are not doing a good job raising their kids and teaching them to respect adults start fining the parents $2,500 okay and just like with child support they don't pay that fine

if they don't pay that fine you know what don't pay that fine, you know what? Suspend their license. It's time to make these parents accountable as well. Because you got some that'll go right back home and be high-fiving. And I've actually seen that myself. Wow. They'd be happy you won. Be happy their kid won against an adult.

Exactly. That's unacceptable. So you know what? Put the parents on blast. You know, the headlines should say a minor at John Thompson's school

that belongs to Lil Mike aka Terry Johnson, aka Lil Mike and you know, whoever. Put the parents on blast. Put their names out there. Okay.

You know what's so interesting? Back in the day, you know, we were afraid. At least I was afraid. I didn't want to waste my parents' money. I didn't want to waste their time. I didn't want to waste their food. And I didn't want to embarrass them. Because all of those things led to me getting my ass kicked.

No, no. That's true. Especially the time thing. My parents had to leave work to come get me oh my god yeah i was in trouble i gotta leave work to come up here they calling me about you you know what i'm thinking about now if even if i was sick i wouldn't let them call my parents yeah because you know that they they gotta leave work that's right your parents are saying i gotta leave work to come up here because you acting a damn fool i would stay in the nurse's office that whole day and i would not call them hell no but let me let me ask you about this so let's say that student there was a problem with the student maybe the student couldn't read or maybe the student was having

difficulty in math and then when the teacher went to him that it was kind of like her defense mechanism where she didn't want to be embarrassed so it was her way of lashing out why do you do this i just love playing the jury with these hypothetical scenarios you don't know nothing all we saw was a little badass girl. But why? There has to be a reason why she was bad. Maybe not. Oh, you know, that's true.

Like I said, she might have been going through something emotionally and mentally. And it looked like a manic breakdown. You know what I mean? But that still don't give her no right to put hands on that teacher. And that teacher had every right to defend herself. You right. And that teacher should have said, get in my belly. And she was scared the hell out of that little girl.

Lauren London shares how she found courage to act again after Nipsey Hussle's death. But you know what? It's always good to say. So let's keep saving and finding fun ways to do it. Lauren London shares how she found courage to act again after Nipsey Hussle's death. The Kenya Burns film, You People, released on Netflix this past weekend. The film stars Jonah Hill, Eddie Murphy, and Lauren London. Lauren London has taken some deserved time away from the spotlight following the death of Nipsey Hussle. But she's in this new movie and she's loving it and she's loved being back on the scene.

So you go, Lauren. I love her. I think she's beautiful and I'm glad she's back out there. Yeah, salute to the light. Grieving is hard when you lose

somebody like that. I mean, I've gone through it and still going through it. It is difficult. So kudos to her. I think we got audio too. How did you find the courage to go back to work every day is different and so some days you don't want to you just want to lay there my big reason is my children because they do deserve a really happy mom and they deserve joy and they deserve a house that has music playing and incense going and light coming in the windows.

And they deserve that. And, you know, when you lose someone, you know they're on the other side wanting you to continue life as well. So I just always think about what I know Nip would want me to do and what I know my children deserve. Listen, we all have gone through stuff. Life is tough on all of us. We're all human, and life is going to life. You know what I what i mean it's also about are you gonna let life take you are you gonna take life condolences to lauren london always and she is a light and nina you can relate if this is too personal a question let me know but what's your inspiration um you know for a very

long time i've been really down over it just Just I feel exactly like how she said in right there about just staying in a dark room, having no energy to get up and go the next day. And my children, too. They are definitely, you know, the reason. But it's grief is so hard. Oh, my God. I say to my friends often when someone passes you say to them you know my condolences and those kind of things but you really don't know what that really means until you experience it yourself it's not gonna bring the person back so i do have a question and like

he said if it's too personal please let us know because we were talking about this uh about a week ago uh we were talking about colonoscopies and he passed away from colon cancer yeah uh did he get the did he check his colon no so i did i've done it a few times i've done both the endo where they go down your throat into your stomach and the colon um i asked him to do it with me and he didn't want to do it he was really the kind of guy who was afraid to go to the doctor and when he did go he had stomach issues and he was complaining Greg may have complained for 20 years he just never

would go to the doctor he would you know work on himself like go take Alka-Seltzers or go find medicine up and down you know and so when he finally went and got the news he kept saying when they were telling him, you got to do this, Greg,

he was like, it's going to be cancer, it's going to be cancer. And they finally told him it was cancer. He was so undone. But once he found out he had cancer, Greg would not miss no doctor's appointments. He had every doctor appointment lined up. He would go to the doctor every single week

to check everything. But before that, he wouldn't. It's one of the most preventable forms of cancer it's a 90 survival rate if you catch it if you catch it earlier yeah i was gonna ask you if did the doctor say if they would have caught it early if you went early they probably would have been able to remove the polyps and i always think back to when i asked them to go you should have forced them yeah i always say that like you should have i should have drug him to the doctor because they i think they would have caught it a lot sooner.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, men don't go to doctors. Do you guys go? Yes. I had a colonoscopy over the holidays. And we talk about it. We try to talk about it on air.

So, you know, try to make it normalized. People are like, oh, I'm not letting the doctor go to my butt. That's gay. But it's... When you're asleep. It could save your life. What? That's just sleep.

When you do your colonoscopy, you are asleep. Yes, you are asleep. But you're asleep. Yes. No one even knows. They put you to sleep. save your life it's simple for me uh life or let somebody go in my butt yeah i'm choosing life every single time no wait a minute no i'm here deaf i'll let somebody go in your butt yes i'm choosing let somebody go up your butt every single'm choosing the court. Let somebody go in your butt every time. Every single time. There you go. Every single time. But you are asleep, so don't be afraid. And it takes only a second.

It's kind of interesting. And also, when they put me to sleep, I thought that was the best sleep. Oh, my God. That anesthesia be hitting, don't it? It was. That's the anesthesia. It's anesthesia. That anesthesia be hitting, don't it?

Anesthesia. I know her, but no. Anesthesia, man. Anesthesia be hitting. When they told me, you said that. You said it's the same anesthesia they gave Michael Jackson. It is.

I can see why somebody would get addicted to it. It was a good sleep. Man, as soon as they be like, you're going to be out in 10 seconds and as soon as you wake up it's going to be all over.

You'd be like, yeah. Yep. Gone. Absolutely. All right. Enough about butts. Who you giving that donkey to? This is about colonoscopy, sir.

Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, January 31st goes to a young lady named Madison Marie Russo. She's 19 years old she hails from iowa and she is the reason that when people send me go fund me my first

reaction is go f yourself okay you know why because in this cash app ben mozell go fund me era people be constantly asking for things and they be asking for things that some of us used to have to work to get for example you don't need to go fund me because you need 10 on your windows. Okay? All right? Thank you, Sam. All right? You don't need me to cash app you because you want to go to Miami for the weekend.

All right? I used to get those kind of requests often, but I think folks realize that's not the way to get money out of people. The way to get money out of people is to have a story. And not just any story, a story that pulls at people's heartstrings. Okay? You got to have a story and not just any story a story that pulls at people's heartstrings okay you gotta have a sob story i'm talking cleo right before she accepted that she was about to go out in a blaze of glory and set it off i'm talking ricky getting shot in the back and boys in the hood i'm talking when charlotte and charlotte's web dies because she has reached the end of her lifespan sidebar

uh wilbur is the reason charlotte died All right? She doing all that damn graffiti with her web, writing out full messages to show how special Wilbur was when the reality is his fate was to be bacon. Okay, war pours Charlotte out physically and emotionally. Charlotte sacrificed her own well-being for Wilbur. Drop on the clues, bonds, for Charlotte from Charlotte's Bar. What a selfless spider she was. Okay? But your story to receive money from complete strangers has to be that sad which actually means it has to be that good and this woman madison from iowa oh she's

one of those people who had a really good sad story see this woman was able to raise 37 000 from donors 37 000 37 racks how was she able to get this money? Let's go to News 8 for the report, please. Hi, everyone. My name is Maddie Russo, and this is my story. A LinkedIn video of 19-year-old Maddie Russo explaining her supposed cancer diagnosis. She claims she was diagnosed with stage 2 pancreatic cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and told there was a football-sized tumor wrapped around her spine. Since then, Russo has talked about going through cancer with the National Pancreas Foundation in Chicago. She's also been on a podcast for Project Purple Online, a group on a mission to find a cure for pancreatic cancer. Her stories on both platforms have since been removed. A GoFundMe fundraiser was started titled,

Maddie's Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer. Tom Boulin was listed as who started the donation page. As you can see, it raised nearly $38,000 from more than 400 donors. By Tuesday, the GoFundMe page was taken down. GoFundMe releasing a statement Tuesday saying they have a zero tolerance policy for misuse of our platform and the group is guaranteeing a full refund to donors. I really don't understand people like her. i really don't if you could take the time and energy to create this elaborate false story about having a stage two cancer diagnosis with a tumor then guess what you can write a script okay you can write a novel all right how about write about your dark side instead of leaning into it because what happens in these situations is you

make it bad for the person who's really dealing with cancer and who and who would love to have thirty seven thousand dollars to deal with a medical bills but because of folks like you okay folks like me will come across these requests and deny them simply because i don't believe you you need more people all right this woman had a fake stash of medical supplies you know what i mean and wigs in her apartment girl you could have been throwing plays okay you could be the next tyler perry the next jordan cooper the next august wilson but instead of being america's next top playwright you decided to compete and america's got scammers i don't feel sorry for you ma'am okay i just hate the wasted talent because anyone who can come up

with lavish successful schemes like this can use that same time and energy figuring out a way to make some money legally okay also i was born in the 1900s okay your old uncle charlotte and took a few laps around the sun and i'm from the era with certain things i just wasn't pretending to be because i didn't want to actually be that's how it was i didn't want to park in the handicapped spot just because i had the handicapped decal okay i wasn't parking like parking in the handicapped spot getting out limping because I was taught you play like that, you may end up handicapped for real. Fake and sick? No, sir. Not me. Hell, I tell my kids that now. Don't play about stuff like that, okay? If something is really wrong,

by all means, let me know. But don't pretend because you really might end up that way. Madison, 19 years old from Iowa, clearly got none of those lessons in life and now she's facing 10 years in prison because she wants to lie. And I hope, maybe, she get at least six months. Six months so she can just be in there with some tough women. You know what I mean? Some tough women that will sleep in boxabreeze.

Okay? Please give Madison Marie Russo the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Oh now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. At least six months. For a scam that elaborate, you know what I mean?

Making light of something that has taken so many people's lives. At least low six months in a elaborate. You know what I mean? Making light of something that has taken so many people's lives. At least low six months in a prison. You know what I mean? All right. Just let us all let a room with some tough women that wear boxer briefs. You know what I mean? That's all. That'll scare us great.

Okay. That's it. Okay. What's her background? You want to play a game? Okay. Okay. I guess it's time to play a game of Guess What?

Right She Is! All right. Madison Marie Russo, 19 years old of Iowa, did a scam where she said she had stage 2 cancer and a big-ass tumor. She got $37,000 from donors. Guess What? Right She Is! Needy Leakes. Completely white.

Why completely white? Not even off-white, just completely white. Why completely white? Not even beige. Completely white. Damn. DJ Envy. Yes.

Madison Marie Rosso, 19 years old, from Iowa. Scammed 37 racks out of people by lying about having stage 2 cancer diagnosis and a tumor. Guess what race she is. White. Damn. seven racks out of people by lying about having stage two cancer diagnosis and a tumor guess what right she is white damn i'm with you black people ain't gonna pay with ailments like they ain't gonna say they're sick when they're not sick no and then i don't think people gonna get black people money like that that's right you just had a whole conversation about how certain black people don't want to go to the doctor so i ain't't about to play about being sick. No, I'm not playing about that. You know what I'm saying? Both of you are absolutely correct.

Yes! Madison Marie Russo is completely white. What do I need to catch up? Completely white. All right. Now, when we come back, Stone Boy will be joining us. Of course, he's from Ghana. Completely Ghana.

Completely Ghana. And we're going to talk to him next. All right, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club good morning The Breakfast Club like the labels are jumping in now

heavily and they're investing in actually pushing you know more of the African sound across the mainstream over here in the west you know

and it gladdens my heart because we are also a part of it and especially myself also a part of it from Ghana in this new school. Not to discredit or just take all the credit in our time, but we have to also credit our predecessors who have been knocking the doors from the 70s and all of that. We have only built upon that.

And in our time now, I think by the help of technology and Internet and all the accesses that we have, we've been able to get it to this level that, you know, you guys are, you know, the world is gravitated to it. And you signed the Def Jam. Most people don't know you signed the Def Jam, correct? How did that come about? I mean, it's been in the pipeline for a while. I think I'm cool with the president from Africa, Sifo, you know, who's been watching my works over the time. I mean, we've been representing for theers of afrobeat and dancehall strongly so when you come to africa one name that will sound on your mind from time is stone boy for the combination that i've always

represented and reggae as well so i think there's um now there's a need to actually drive that that particular style as intense as it is onto the global stages so that's why i think devdom and i came together for this beautiful partnership and i will be dropping um the first project together in march what did you think when uh when we see meek mill over there meek mill was was riding the bikes through the hood and everything like that like i thought i thought it was dope because it was like you know he meek miller's known for the bike so the fact that he tapped in and was riding with the people i just thought that was dope what was your thoughts on that it's crazy all those backers are my boys it's not like boys i know from the fact that they're my brothers we

grew up together so it's basically i've known about that before time and i'm happy that you know my brothers from us were growing up all joining in that you know and and that vibe from the hood that i come which is called a shy man that's where you find most of the bikers um the boys were within my boys from ground so it gives me a lot of joy for that shine that they're getting you know because i mean from the streets you represent through the streets by you know those moves. And I think it's nice. It's nice to witness.

And Ghana is always welcoming. You guys know the vibes we have. He also got some flack, too, for, I guess, shooting a video. And, you know, he apologized. He said he didn't know, but he said he got permissions. What was your thoughts? In the Jubilee House. Yeah, this would probably be the first time I'm speaking about that because I've, you know,

I've not necessarily tried to stay away from that comment but it's truth be told i couldn't come to the states and go to the white house do whatever i want to do except there was a certain amount of leeway you know that i could you know do stuff but this i don't think it's a big deal and i mean the internet went crazy and he did the best thing he had to do because that for me, I think it was a job of the security personnel and a protocol to make sure that, bro, you don't, we don't film over here. We don't do this over here. We don't do that. You know, he's excited. He's excited. He doesn't know the laws, I believe, or doesn't, you know, so he only tried to get the best of his trip you know and coming out to apologize just to shows you his true intentions

and wasn't in a known to go and throw dirt on such a place now why do you like when girls lie to you are you saying that's on therapy you say girls lying to you was like therapy um why I mean is um when you check it from where I was writing the stuff wrong I mean what I wanted to actually imply is like you see the vibe like we people really don't like the truth like that you know like we know that the truth but we really don't want to stick with it most often when you know all this toxic relationship and exit etc you see the red flags you see whatever it is but you still want to be there for what it is so that's just what i was trying to you know

capture in that line of i love it when you laugh to me that it feels like therapy you know have you ever felt like therapy yeah really yeah because you just you can felt like therapy? Yeah. Really? Yeah, because you just. Because you can learn a lot from that. You know, it's teaching me a lot. I didn't realize. People like to be lied to? No, I don't like to be lied to.

Oh, got you, got you. Not at all. But I understand what he's saying. Exactly. Yeah. I don't want you to feed my ego in that way. Oh, baby, you're the best. You're stroking a little bit.

Oh, baby, you're this. Oh, you're the best. See, that feels good. That wasn't even to me. It feels good. But what if I am? Well, you might be thinking you are, but she may be thinking you're not. I'm just telling you, you're this See that feels good That wasn't even to me It feels good But what if I am Well you might be Thinking you are

But she may be Thinking you're not I'm just telling you You're the best The worst time to do that Is in the bedroom That's what I was saying Cause I can't get better

You know what I mean You gotta tell me So you like lies in the bedroom No I want you to tell me the truth Like you're like Man you ain't doing that right So I can go Watch Pornhub

You don't mind A little lie here or there No You hop out the bed You be like Oh you so fine And you be like, oh, you so fine. And you be like, now you know I'm scared.

He's never heard that before. He's never heard that before. That's a damn lie. He's never heard that before. They actually say handsome. That's a lie. That is a lie. Oh, you're so handsome.

Thank you, Nene. You know, guys like lies. She's lying. So I was going to ask you, you know, Lala was here last week and she was talking about she likes African men because African men

spend money on their women. Now, Nene also way now African man and Nene says the same so we're asking you is it something that the culture why is that I think it's part of our culture and upbringing like you need to be the man of the house you need to take care of the home so that translates into how we deal with you know our women as well honestly speaking that's where i know stems from and that gives you a certain amount of control not in a bad way that no one wants yeah um that's why i said not in a bad way it gives you a certain amount of control i'm just being very honest all across boards because different people do things for different reasons as much as some

men would want to be you know taking care of you so they can keep you and have you and control you be with you i mean and they control you damn control is the word look that would never happen over here okay i'm uncontrollable okay but i do feel like africans you know want a certain amount of control they do i mean you have they have to be in charge that's how i would say because that's what a man has to be like as far as i know the man being in charge it's not about the woman being dull or anything but you know we we love to have women who are like respectful submissive supportive and then you still you know the consults you like the treaty was i mean it's general like men love to be respected so i think that's just how it is for african now when you say submissive what does that mean

i'm submissive exactly i am like i think it's very cool to be submissive. I am so attracted. I mean, I I respect women who are Not like web you've been abused. No, no, no none of that But there's there's beauty in that for me like it's like you being a woman woman if you're over the top I see was another man doesn't the man have to be submissive to his woman as well yeah but certain aspects definitely submission from a man is actually I think so in love and being like you say like stemming from the african man conversation submission would be him being you know taking care of listening to the woman's problems like yo i want to do this i want to do that okay i'll sit you down how do you want to get it done that that for me is like attention because women love attention and men have to have

to see them humble and submissive you know all right we got more with stone boy when we come back let's get into a single it's called therapy it's the breakfast club is your country falling apart feeling tired depressed a little bit revolutionary consider this start your own country i planted the flag i just kind of looked out of like this is mine I own this it's surprisingly easy there's 55 gallons of water 500 pounds of concrete everybody's doing it I am King Ernest Emmanuel I am the Queen of Ladonia I'm Jackson the first king of Kaperburg I am the supreme leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia be part of a great colonial tradition the why can't I trade my own

King, Miriam Akiba. I shook up the world. James Brown said, say it loud.

And the kid said, I'm black and I'm proud. Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa. Three days of music and then the boxing event. What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to that, you couldn't call a person black. And how we arrived at this peak moment. I don't have to be what you want me to be. We all came from the continent of Africa.

Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman, and the Soul of 74 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We're still kicking it with Stone Boy. wherever you get your podcast. explain what happened break down what happened Asamuajan is being a captain of the Black Stars you know okay so what happened oh um 20 I think 20 years ago I had an accident I had a really bad knee so I was living with that as a ghetto youth you know struggling through life doing music etc I mean you know living up and then I think seven years when we counted back this is the seventh year and one time I want to do his birthday concert and then he he asked me what happened give him the story and told him oh fortunately

next month the third of next month is actually gonna be seven years when I did the surgery surgery Wow you know then he said how much would it cost to do and i'm like i'm sure i'm i'm actually going to do it next month on the third anyway because it was around the same time like we were speaking around this time so it's just like i should send him over the bills and i did and then he just wired the money to the hospital wow i told him that time that the time was gonna come when i was gonna let the world know and i think this is the time so it it really blew their minds because nobody would have ever thought and you know it's big it's big news back home because we understand what what what it means and who he is as a person as well but you know one thing i realized about people in ghana like they're very giving true you know what i mean like they give up themselves in a real real way for sure you you will feel bad for

not giving somebody what they ask you if that's it goes to that extent like they can emotionally blackmail you for you to feel like you did them wrong even if you you couldn't afford to give them all the acts yeah yeah yeah now why were you banned from the VG what is it Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Ghana Music Awards yeah that's

that's the biggest music awards you know skimming Ghana hands down I've been running for like 20 plus years

and I think I got into a little something with one of my my brothers a scuffle yeah

at the awards at other awards live on tv oh that'll do it oh yeah i mean i was picking up my award for winning the regular as our artist for the fifth time in a row you know and i think you know he couldn't take it so he had to swim to the stage oh he came to the stage? Yeah he came with a lot of people. You know what I mean? They should have just had him to not return. Exactly so I was about to give my speech when he disrupted the whole live thing and it was very chaos and well dangerous and you know we know from the streets because he's from the street I'm from the street so we really got there really got there so will smith would have never walked up and tried to smack you huh no no no you couldn't

do that i'm sorry but naturally i'm quickly defensive yeah absolutely you should naturally so what it was is that you know we've been having this beef over for years you know you know and i haven't i don't even know where it's stemming from but interestingly um you know that's how that brother moved moves or moved around that period attacking everybody and to step on stage to do that was not something we were going to accept and if he came alone then you could probably but he came with an attack like he came with a gang storming on the stage and bro we've been always ready you know defending yourself how do you man you exactly so guess what was is that security came over covered the whole scene and then separated the vibes

and they escorted me home and then later on the news was you know spread the vibes of you know there being because there were weapons involved weapons i mean anybody hurt shot no no no no not even one did y'all squash it out or y'all still don't see how to um after some months we tried to and i think it was it was in the best interest for the nation and the followers that we have. And so, to date, we talk once and once. But, I mean, that's the levels is on. We're good. Why is it important for black Americans and people from the motherland to build that bridge, build that connection? Exactly. I believe it's super important because without that, we're cutting off our roots.

And then we go back to the names that I mentioned, the Kwame Nkrumahs, the Marcos Gaves, the Malcolm Xs. These were the things that stood for heavily. And I think it's even Marcos Gave who started the Black Star Line stuff to bring the, you know, to serve that um pathway of having to for instance ship goods and if necessary the peoples from the motherland who have gained a lot of knowledge whatsoever to actually ship it back home to actually build the nations so um you know it's it's it's really very important to connect that bridge which i always have been doing and which i've set myself aside because guess what today we're all jumping to afrobeat afrobeat and we love it and people are people know it comes from africa you know what i mean but africa has

tons and tons and tons of influence on so many things even in the west from the rnbs to the hip-hop to wherever and there's so much segregation like for instance i do get that segregation sometimes like oh dancehall and afrobeat and reggae and it's important to know by connecting these dots that we're all from yes sir let's get into your joint what you want to hear. What should we play? Oh, and real quick you gonna be performing at the Palladium in Times Square Yeah, on the 3rd of May. Your homeland concert, what is that? Yeah, that's um, it's been a long time I performed there. The last time was 2016 at the um, Irvine Plaza and then I mean this time we're moving it up to the Palladium Times

Square. I'm expecting my Jesus like this is gonna be an intimate something for me. So you know be a part of this intimacy of my Caribbean brothers, of my African brothers, of my Yankee sisters, etc. Come experience Stone Boy Garden. Let's add up to the numbers that, you know, that is moving up already

because it's not only the Davids, the Berners, the Whiskids. No, there are tons and tons of amazing, amazing artists that you guys need to check out. Alright, well shout out to Stoneboy for joining us. Don't move, Rumors on the way. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

And we're about to hit the Rumors. Oh, the ghetto. The ghetto. Rumor has it,. Room I has it. Room I has it. Call out a name. Or you gossiping. Or you chatting.

I'm gossiping. This is the Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. On The Breakfast Club. Yeah, Real Housewives of Potomac, Robin Dixon addresses allegation of Juan Dixon cheating.

The Real Housewives of Potomac cast member, Robin Dixon, recently admitted that her husband, Juan Dixon, did in fact have an affair with a woman while they were engaged. And that is one of the reasons why their wedding was delayed. Last week, a woman came forward

alleging that she had a relationship with Juan during the pandemic and she literally had receipts to prove it. Oh, honey. Yes. For the starless Robin Dixon child. What? Starless, honey.

Starless. Starless. What the hell does that mean, Nene? Like these girls on these shows are just not stars. Like if you really look at it, all of the stars that were on any of these franchises, they took them off. And everybody that's left is starless. But I thought that show got high ratings. Does it?

I don't know. That's how you looked at those ratings, honey. Those ratings are... Stop. Do you watch the show or you don't watch that show? I don't watch the show. I watch the clips, though, that come down social media. But I'm not really a TV watcher.

I don't watch TV show i watch the clips though that come down social media but i'm not really a tv watch i don't watch tv at all okay well they spoke about it on the reasonably shady podcast on the black effect i heart radio podcast network okay two stars robin and giselle i think that oh you do yeah oh okay then you you're the one that's reasonably shady completely shady that'd be the name of nini pocket mercy well you think they stars i mean okay we're gonna listen to the audio awkward or we're talking about she and juan dated during covid um and that and she then she shows this like hotel receipt with his name on it first of all i was aware of the situation before we filmed season seven right now yes juan was an idiot and communicated

with this woman on instagram you know because i mean i you know whatever he's he's bored he needs attention he's you know it's the pandemic, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Right. However, they did not date. He did not fly her anywhere. Right. And there is a reason why his name is on a hotel receipt. Was trying to bribe Juan and told her that she was going to become famous off of us. But so anyway, it was something that we dealt with and we're moving forward. So the side piece was going gonna become famous off of them but

are they famous who robin and giselle you know i think she's talking about her her husband yeah her husband she said that the lady was gonna become famous off of them off of them and i was like are they famous it's the question yes Robin and Giselle on the real they may be known there's a difference between famous and known that's true I agree with that so I don't know about famous but maybe it's known for a minute so you think Giselle is Giselle famous no okay candy is famous No Okay Candy Is famous I am not hating I'm just telling y'all the truth Come on now

She's known. She's known. And she might be famous to some. I think fame is subjective, right? There's people that are famous, like beyonce's famous yeah when you think of famous i think of beyonce but then everybody else is subjective because you can be walking through the mall with your 14 year old and she might lose it over a tiktok star so that tiktok star is famous to them you know right yeah yeah i think it's all subjective yeah yeah i guess honey i guess y'all well anyway since um envy and chalamet says robin is famous i uh take it back robin famous robin dixon and one dixon sorry man subscribe to the reasonably
