We got front page news Morgan to be joining us. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ
Starting point is 00:04:43 Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are 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. What's up Morgan? Hey, how y'all feeling? You sound tired. You sound like you know you are. Yeah, no, this just watching you know what's going on in Texas is all and it is just the city situation is all. Yeah, so I'll get into it first on front page. Yeah. So the devastating such a situation in central Texas following this catastrophic flooding event continues to develop. Now, Governor Greg Abbott reports that the death toll remains above 100 with more than 160 people still unaccounted for. Now, speaking from rural hunt in Western Kerr County, Abbott
Starting point is 00:05:25 emphasized that search and rescue efforts or recovery efforts will continue relentlessly until every last person is located. He also addressed the criticism around, you know, those weather warning systems. And here's what he had to say. Just in the Kerr County area alone, there are 161 people who are known to be missing. To put this into perspective, there are far more fatalities than there were in Hurricane Harvey. My focus isn't on trying to say, oh, you did wrong or you should have done better there. My job is to bring Texas and Texans together.
Starting point is 00:06:01 So Abbott went on to say that the heart of Texans are breaking every day because of this event. He also took a helicopter tour over the worst affected regions expressing that he was deeply moved by the extent of the devastation. And he went on to say that President Trump's immediate granting of the major master declaration has been speeding up recovery efforts. Meanwhile, at the White House yesterday, President Trump held a cabinet meeting and he praised Homeland Security Secretary,
Starting point is 00:06:27 Kristi Noem, for her response to the flooding event. Now, Trump also told reporters that Noem's response was vital and that she got people there as fast as anyone seen. Noem also spoke about federal resources being used in Texas. Let's take a listen to their comments. I think a lot of lives have been saying that could have been as bad as it was.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Yeah, you could have lost double or triple. We deployed sir right away to the Coast Guard. We also had some assets out of Customs and Border Protection. Our board tech teams went in. So now I'm also called the flooding a tragedy, especially noting that the little girls that there were little girls from that Camp Mystic who passed away as well. She also talked about how she walked through that devastation and walked through those
Starting point is 00:07:14 cabins where those girls went missing and that were later found dead. She added that the parents who come to the flooding camps are also met with grief counselors. Now, Trump, of course course confirmed he will visit the areas flooded in central Texas on Friday. And I think it's important to note that as this continues to develop, you know, there's so many people that have been impacted. You know, families have lost their homes,
Starting point is 00:07:36 communities shattered, and children. There are still people who are missing and the need is urgent. And the Community Foundation of Texas Hill Country has launched their Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to support those impacted. All donations go through directed go directly excuse me to trusted and vetted organizations that will provide food, shelter, health care and hope. So you can donate to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund at community foundation.net that's community foundation.net. That's communityfoundation.net.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Switching gears, guys, you see what happened with the Supreme Court yesterday? I did. If you missed it. The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to resume plans to carry out massive job cuts across federal agencies. So all those job layoffs and stuff that was going on, there was a little pause on that. But the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land has said, you know what, go on. So justices- Donald Trump's Supreme Court, we know this.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Yeah, I mean, yeah, he did. He did point most of those. But justices lifted the district judge order blocking the large scale federal layoffs that could potentially impact hundreds of thousands of jobs. The Supreme Court said it was not accessing the legality of any specific plans for layoffs at the federal agencies, but President Trump signed an executive order in February directing agencies to prepare for the government overhaul. So expect that if you work for a government agency, there's a possibility that plans could be carried out to incorporate more of those layoffs coming So and plans could be laid out to fire you I want to go back to the
Starting point is 00:09:10 Flooding in Texas man that story hurts my soul Yeah when I say that story hurts my soul because we all got kids you sending your kids off the camp for the summer and Then you get some news like that. I feel sorry for those parents I'm sending healing energy to those parents and I'm praying for the souls of those kids the ones who passed away and the ones that are still missing. And you know I see people pointing the finger right? Isn't a flash flood sudden? So how do you prepare for that? I mean you can't. They tell you that you know it's mother nature so
Starting point is 00:09:42 things happen you don't know how crazy it's gonna get get, how much downpour it's going to get. But I will say one thing, I feel like this happens a lot with Mother Nature, right? It's always flooding. There's always, especially with flooding and rain. And I feel like they haven't controlled the sewer system yet to make sure that the water goes in certain ways. Because we see it all the time. We see it in Jersey.
Starting point is 00:10:02 We see it in Atlanta. We see it in Texas. But it just seems like the problem, the infrastructure never gets fixed. Yeah, that's yeah. Even with this particular situation, this camp was actually located along a riverbed. So the Guadalupe River, but and just where it was located, it was like in the valley of that bed, very close to the river. So to your point, Envy, it's like, well, what can you do about the infrastructure and what can you do when it comes to you versus Mother Nature?
Starting point is 00:10:29 Like to prepare for things like this. Yeah, there's nothing you can do versus you versus Mother Nature. You versus an earthquake, you versus a hurricane, you versus a tornado. I mean, some things you might can prepare for, but that don't mean you're going to survive it. Yeah, we just hear it a lot. We hear people's houses getting flooded over and over again, and it seems like something has to change. Like we know it's going to happen in certain areas. Sometimes it just happens. There's nothing you can do. Like it's mother nature, but sometimes it's the same areas over and over and over and over again. It just seems like nothing ever
Starting point is 00:10:54 fixes. We never fixed it. And because of climate change, things have gotten worse. A lot of these storms and these floodings are much, much worse than they were. That's true. That is true. Well, if you are moved to donate again, the Kerr County Relief, excuse me, Kerr County Flood Relief Fund at communityfoundation.net. I've got more front page news at seven. So stick around, guys. All right.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. need to vent phone lines or wide open again 800-585-1051. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Get it up.
Starting point is 00:11:32 This is your time to get it off your chest. Keep calling. 800-585-1051. We wanna hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is Helen. Helen, good morning, where you calling from? I'm calling from Jacksonville, Florida.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Okay. Duval, you gonna do Duval all day, this Saturday at Moncrie Park? No, I don't do all day. I don't do all day. Exactly. I don't do all day. I don't do all day.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Like calm down please, I don't. I just go to work and I go home. That is it. I ain't mad at you. I ain't mad at you. I know that's right, Helen. I hope they have a good time. I don't do all that. Get it off your chest though, Munch.
Starting point is 00:12:07 So boom, I called in because I heard you say that, you know, people wanna compare us to the white man or if it was fight, if he was fight, it wouldn't be this, it wouldn't be that. We are different because we are the standards. That's why everybody comps in everything that we do. That's why everybody we do, somebody tries to take it from us because we're the standards. And they continue to try to push the fight to make us everything that we do. That's why everybody we do, somebody tries to take from us because we're the fans
Starting point is 00:12:26 and they continue to try to push us back to make us believe that we're not good enough, but we are what's good. So we're gonna be treated different period. And I'm gonna leave it right there. Some people would get it, it's gonna go over a lot of people's head, but that's okay, cause everybody's eyes are not open.
Starting point is 00:12:41 I understand exactly what you're saying. And you know, if we're the standard, that means that we always gotta submit our will to the God in us, not submit our will to the devil in us. Right, and that's the problem. We have got intertwined with the world. We live in the world, but we're supposed to live separate from the world.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Man, I'm so glad you said that. Because it drives me crazy hearing people say things like, you know, we should be able to do what they do. That's not the type of equality I want if we talking about, you know, just being able to get away with evil. But yet again, you got to understand some people will get it and some people won't. It's just not for everybody to understand.
Starting point is 00:13:13 You're right. Satan was thrown out of heaven, right? He was with God. It's gonna be the same way here on earth. Some people will be with God, some people won't be thrown out. It's okay. You're right.
Starting point is 00:13:24 That's what the problem is. We are the standard. We set the standard in everything. And once we realize that we'll change our ways, we will call people to change, to come over to the side that they need to be on. And I'ma let that go. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Thank you, Helen. That's why Helen ain't going to do all that. Mm-hmm. She ain't got time for showing you all that. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:13:56 This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk. I hate the way that you dress. Everything with me is best. Call up next, 800-585-1051. Not just me, I'm what the coach will fill it. Hello, who's this?

First of all, my baby daddy is in the f**king heaven, so second of all, thank you. That's what you get. That's what you get. You're right.
Starting point is 00:14:44 You're absolutely right. We're not laughing at. That's what you get. You're right. That's what you really get. We started laughing at you. Go ahead, mom. Condolences. Right now, it's like the battle of the females in my family. That's why you up smoking weed early in the morning. Who's the females?
Starting point is 00:14:57 Is it your sister or your kids? You just said our kids. So you gotta hear us say that. My kids. What's your kids doing? What's happening? Let me tell you something. It's like my oldest daughter is trying to bring my youngest daughter to go against me.
Starting point is 00:15:09 For what reason? How old are they? How old are they? 31 and 21. Is their father the one that passed away? Yes. I mean do you think and I know that if their father or they would have got counseling or something during the time period maybe would have helped out.
Starting point is 00:15:48 I think so. I think that could be part of the issue. I'm not nobody's psychiatrist or therapist. And then you could have checked out too, you know, and it's hard to be a parent when you lose a co-parent, you lose a significant other, you know what I'm saying? So you could have subconsciously neglected you know one of them or both of them or you know what I'm saying and all of y'all hurting from it. How long has he been gone? Wow yeah so that's
Starting point is 00:16:17 more than half their life that they didn't have a father I mean that could be part of the issue I don't know. Did you ask him? Did they tell you what the issue was? No, y'all need to have more communication conversation That won't break Well, you smoking with the wrong person You need to roll you need to roll up some zine go smoke with your daughters and have a conversation Okay and have a conversation? I know that's right, but they don't smoke. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Oh, wow. The thing about that is, how can I put it? Like, I had moved out of town, and my oldest daughter and my middle daughter, who's 28, was up here only by themselves. That's part of it. Oh, so you- Me and my youngest daughter and my son moved out of town.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Oh, so they feel like you left them. Yeah, they feel like them. So father, so daddy gone, he passed away, so they feel like you left them. So father, so daddy gone, he passed away and they feel like you left him, that's all. Yeah, you need to talk to them. You maybe need to go get some therapy, maybe some family therapy. Cause they were young when that happened, you know?
Starting point is 00:17:17 So they just grow up. And it happened in the house. Oh man. They what? It happened in the house. Well, I'm sorry, mama. Open up the lines of communication, man. Have a conversation with your babies.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Thank you, I appreciate it. And apologize, don't be afraid to apologize if you feel like you did something wrong. Yeah, yeah. And I have no problem doing that. I apologize with no problem. I'm a long ass woman, but I don't care. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:17:39 All right, well thank you mama. Good luck. Have a good one, good luck. Damn. Get it off your chest. Man, that's crazy that you talk to the kids and the kid like she was on crack She's smoking weed We got the latest with Lauren coming up we do Nicki Minaj is Online claiming that Jay-Z owes her 200 million dollars and a lot of other things we won't get into it
Starting point is 00:18:03 All right, we'll get into that ne. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren be coming with straight face. She gets in from somebody that knows somebody. She gets into details. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Starting point is 00:18:26 She be having the latest on this. They say I'm the biggest, the largest. 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, talk to me.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Well, y'all, Nicki Minaj is back on X, and she's coming for Jay-Z. So in a series of tweets, Nicki Minaj is back on X and she's coming for Jay-Z. So in a series of tweets, Nicki Minaj is claiming that Jay-Z owes her 100 to 200 million so far. She tweeted, Jay-Z called me to settle the karmic debt. It only collected more interest. You still in my top five though. Let's get it.
Starting point is 00:19:07 N word. And anyone still calling him whole will answer to God for the blasphemy. And she is referring to I believe because then she says more tweets. When Tidal originally when Jay-Z did the deal with Tidal, it was a partnership. You know, he gave artists some ownership including including J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna. And then when he sold the company back in 2021, when he sold the company back in 2021, Nicki Minaj had always said that she felt like she wasn't paid out what she should have been paid out. She was only offered a million dollars at the time. So I, and she
Starting point is 00:19:41 went on with a bunch of other tweets as well, too. She talked about, you know, once she gets the money from Jay-Z that he allegedly owes her, she's going to start a college fund for her fans. It's talking about being shadow banned and hated on online again. She says, if you get a message to post hate or lies today on any platform, I advise you to say no, they won't cover your legal fees. Just today alone, we've added five blogs and five content creators I hope you got a lot of money saved up
Starting point is 00:20:08 I hope it's worth losing everything including your account because Nicki Minaj has been on X saying that the blogs online creators Don't cover her and Jay-Z's back and forth the same way as they do everything else Well, it's not a back and forth isn't this definitely Yeah, it's just been a fourth. And I also find that interesting because I see Nikki will amplify stories and I'll be looking like, I'm like, this is a bogus ass source. It's just a random YouTube account or some fake story somebody might, she was doing that yesterday.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Oh, she was doing a lot yesterday. A fake story? Well, she was- I was saying something about the lawsuit with Megan. Yes. Oh no, not that, that's not what I was talking about. What you doing, mom? It was a lie that she posted yesterday.
Starting point is 00:20:55 But Nicki been going in recently, and a lot of the blogs haven't been picking it up because I haven't been seeing it in a lot of places. And that's how she feels. She feels like blogs and online platforms don't touch what she's saying, and they don't cover all of her words fully because it's Jay-Z and Roc Nation.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Well, I'll tell you this. I have no idea about their business, but if someone owed me $200 million, then I would be in court, not on X. And I guarantee you, if she ever took that to court, that would be a huge story. I agree. Cause Lauren would get the first, first details as soon as it hit the court, that would be a huge story. Hmm. I agree. Lauren would get the first first details as soon as it hit the court.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I would be at court for that. But yeah, she also said that Jay-Z, she alleges he ruined hip hop, football, basketball, touring, Instagram, Twitter. She said the jig is up. All of this alleged and for entertainment purposes only. She wouldn't make that clear. She's also saying that Jay-Z doesn't stand by black people or alleging that Jay-Z doesn't stand by black people the way that he should because he politically doesn't get out there
Starting point is 00:21:55 the way that he should because of those different business partners that he's standing next to. That's just not true. And I guess maybe that's why you don't pay certain things any attention because when certain things you just know are like alright Come on now. I see what she did there though She said he's still in the top five though top top five. Oh, yeah, I mean you can never You know Nikki is like a rapper rapper first. She can't ever deny that but there's a series of tweets She also is asking when did Jay-Z ever campaign for Kamala?
Starting point is 00:22:24 She says he benefited so much from the party. When President Obama gave that speech about the brothers, why didn't Jigga come out and strongly campaign for the Democratic Party at that time? Jay-Z did campaign for Barack Obama crazy. He did for Barack Obama. He did a verse on my president is black, but he definitely was out there for Barack. But I think she's talking about- He was out there for for Barack. But I think she's talking about Hillary Clinton. But I think she's talking about when Kamala was running and Jay-Z, I mean not Jay-Z,
Starting point is 00:22:48 and Obama said that thing about black men. And she's saying, why didn't he come out as like the spokesperson for black men? And that's I remember when people were upset about Obama and the way that he came at black men and their support for Kamala Harris, she said that because in her opinion, she did not come out for the brothers. We've been hoodwinked. Um, and she says you know bamboo basically there there's a lot of tweets here but in summation she is still very
Starting point is 00:23:13 upset what is all about though maybe I'm bugging where did this start from like what happened a couple weeks ago with the music no this started a long time weeks ago with the music. No, this started a long time ago. No, I mean like just recent. Recently? With the music. You talking about Ben from NL? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where it started. Yeah, that was a part of it as well.
Starting point is 00:23:31 She also- How did Jay-Z ruin all these sports? Oh my God. Well, you know she felt like Lil Wayne? She feels like Lil Wayne should have been the performer at the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Right. That is funny as hell. Read that one again.
Starting point is 00:23:43 She did the whole list. She did the whole list. She said, dear dear hashtag Jay-Z, you ruined hip-hop, you ruined football, you ruined basketball, you ruined touring, you ruined Instagram, you ruined Twitter. The jig is up. All of this is alleged and for entertainment purposes only. And she also is saying, she's mentioning Desiree, who is one of Jay-Z's... You might as well say Jay-Z's the head of Doge. Jay-Z invaded, Jay-Z invaded Gaza. You might as well just come on, add some more to that,
Starting point is 00:24:10 Nikki, don't stop there. Yeah, she says, she says, there's a lot here, man. Jay-Z's the reason for processed foods. Okay, he's the reason that there's artificial dyes in the candy, what else? The jig is up, yo. I heard that though, I heard he was the reason for Essence Festival this weekend. That was definitely whole. She's gonna be tweeting about us and
Starting point is 00:24:32 I didn't even get to do my makeup this morning. She gonna post this. She's already mad at us. She is gonna be mad. But yeah, she says that black people have been hoodwinked by Jay-Z that he is not what we think that he is, in summation, politically, sports-wise and music-wise. I'm mad with Jay did the essence though. He should have did that to essence, man. There's a bunch of black people. I just think that when you criticize somebody for what they are doing or haven't done for a community, whatever her argument is, you have to be doing equal or more. Cause that would be my question, right?
Starting point is 00:25:08 Well, if I'm not doing anything, then what are you doing? But this is coming from a personal place though. This is a personal thing. I just got a simple question. If I'm not doing anything, even though I know I'm doing a whole lot, what are you doing? Correct.
Starting point is 00:25:21 But this is personal. This is, she's mad that, you know, the whole Super Bowl thing and she's standing up for Wayne, she's standing up for her stuff. Like this is personal. She's mad that, you know, the whole Super Bowl thing and she's standing up for Wayne, she's standing up for her stuff. Like this is personal. You remember when it was, we had that, it was the thing at Rock Nation when Roger Goodell and everybody was there, I was in the room for that. And you remember when Jay-Z was like, I can point to everything that I've done, I can tell you about the people I've helped, the charities I've given to, blah blah blah, this and that. You gotta lay your list out. If you telling me that I don't do nothing,
Starting point is 00:25:45 if you telling me that I don't show up for my community, now you gotta lay your list out. Now look, going back to the Super Bowl thing, is it possible that it was told to Wayne that he was gonna do the Super Bowl, and then last minute it was like, nah, we gonna give it to homie. I haven't heard that.
Starting point is 00:26:05 And Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj have been yelling from the mountain high about that. So I don't know the answer to your question. I think they said it was assumed because it wasn't. I think it was assumed. Everybody was talking about it. We all thought that and it was assumed. I'm just talking about more than just assuming it was it. Because the way they was acting about it is like, yo, y'all may have been told that.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Well, that's also a level of entitlement, too. She said also to that the Democrats attacked her over her cousin's testicles. Oh, my God. She said, let's see if they have any. Y'all don't remember when she said that. Remember she's talking about the COVID vaccine. And she was saying that she had a cousin, her cousin's friend. She said that she had a cousin's friend cousin's friend. She didn't say that. Y'all, she said that she had a cousin's friend who took the COVID vaccine and became, like he couldn't read the news because of that, right? Oh, I remember that, I do remember that.
Starting point is 00:26:50 And people got on her about that. And she was like, y'all attacked me over that. Why don't y'all, let's see if they have any thoughts on brother billionaire. She's talking about Jay-Z never campaigning for Kamala after Obama pleaded with the brothers. Isn't this the brother? But nigga didn't campaign for Kamala.
Starting point is 00:27:02 My thing is you can't accuse somebody of doing some of not doing something that you didn't even do. She didn't. Who would she ever campaign for? I'm just asking questions here people. I'm not accusing Nikki of nothing. I'm just asking obvious questions. I ain't never seen her campaign for nobody.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Nikki crazy. She said if the top brother in charge can leave y'all hanging without repercussions they may everyone else leave you hanging as well. Hanging like my cousin's friend's testicles. Wrapping up. What? All right, well, that was the latest with Lauren. Damn.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Jesus. All right. So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think,
Starting point is 00:27:49 in the New York Daily News. It's, Teddy escapes, blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you. The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control.
Starting point is 00:28:06 And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:31:38 Podcast Network. Tune in on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back to some front page news. What's up, Morgan? Yeah, let's talk about what's happening in international news. So President Trump is expressing his unhappiness with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Starting point is 00:32:17 While speaking to his cabinet yesterday at the White House, Trump told reporters the war in Ukraine is causing thousands of deaths. Let's take a listen to his comments. President Trump. I'm not happy with Putin. I can tell you that much right now, because he's killing a lot of people. And a lot of them are his soldiers, his soldiers and their soldiers mostly.
Starting point is 00:32:37 So this comes as president Trump has been trying to hammer out a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine and lately has put most of the blame for the continued fighting on Putin. Now according to those comments Trump indicated that Russia's military took on a lot of casualties and BBC News reports that estimates for Russian military casualties range from 195, 500,000 to maybe 274, 580,000 killed as of June 12, 2025. But the BBC News also indicates that those number of casualties could be even higher because they're not releasing the correct numbers out of that region anyways, whether it be on civilian casualties or military
Starting point is 00:33:29 casualties. Elsewhere on the international front, President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met again yesterday in Washington, D.C. Trump said they spoke exclusively about the war in Gaza. The president said they got to get that solved. Adding that Steve Witkoff, his special envoy, said they're hopeful to have an agreement to a 60-day ceasefire by the end of the week. Now, Witkoff said it would include the release of 10 live hostages by Hamas, as well as the return of the bodies of nine hostages as well. So that's what's happening on the international front.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Meanwhile, here at home, let's take it to California on the West Coast. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom are condemning an armed deployment of federal immigration agents in Los Angeles historic MacArthur Park. Now federal agents and military vehicles descended on the park earlier this week, but details as to why were not immediately made available. Mayor Bass, who came to the park as soon as she heard the news spread, called the situation absolutely outrageous. Let's take a listen to her comments. To me, this is another example of the administration ratcheting up chaos by deploying what looked like a military operation in an American city. I could
Starting point is 00:34:46 see a helicopter in the air. I think it was a Black Hawk helicopter and I saw military tanks. It was the Custom and Border Patrol and it might have been military on the periphery. So she said that it's part of a political agenda of provoking fear and terror while California governor Gavin Newsom says also he also claims the operation was politically motivated and disruptive to one of Los Angeles most vulnerable communities I think this is important to pay attention to because there has been an increase in ICE raids across the country Not only in LA but also in New Jersey, Texas, and even here in the DMV, DC, Maryland, Virginia area.
Starting point is 00:35:27 And if, just switching gears, if you're catching a flight soon, the TSA is ending its shoe removal policy at some airport security checkpoints. I don't like that. I pay for TSA pre-check, okay? All right, what am I paying for TSA pre-check for if everybody get to keep their shoes on now?
Starting point is 00:35:45 That is not the only thing that you put in your test. Keep your laptop in your bag? Shoes in your laptop. I barely travel with my laptop. I was going to say, my friend said the same thing, Charlotte Bay is saying. But according to multiple reports, the agency sent an internal memo to security officers about testing the new policy and a soft launch at security checkpoints, several locations where shoes will no longer need to come off include Baltimore, Washington International Airport. That's VWI here, New York's La
Starting point is 00:36:14 Guardia, LAX, Philadelphia International and Fort Lauderdale International Airport. And this is effective immediately. So if you've got a flight going out today, you know, lucky you, you get to save your socks. But TSA is exploring new and innovative ways, this is what the agency said, they're exploring new and innovative ways to enhance the passenger experience. I'm not sure what that means for you though,
Starting point is 00:36:37 Mr. Charlemagne. Well, I can tell them what it means. All, we pay for these things just because we're trying to get to security faster. And they keep adding things. At first it was pre-checked, then it was clear, they have digital IDs. I got all three.
Starting point is 00:36:50 I got both, so it's like for me, I just want my, I want it to be expedited. I want to get through there fast, that's it. That's it. But do you think flying down is down overall considering all of what's going on? And so maybe, there are maybe, you know, in the, I don't know how to put it but in the grand scheme of things maybe that those
Starting point is 00:37:09 who have the TSA pre-check I don't know how to put it. If anybody can get it, I'm just about to start going through the regular line again because everybody got clear, everybody got TSA pre-check, everybody got the digital ID crap so it's like. But you fly every week and like I do. Every week. It is, the airports don't be packed like that anymore. No, no, no, no, no. Like it was like,
Starting point is 00:37:28 it's also not a lot of flights going out either. Exactly. That's essentially what I'm getting at is that flights are down, airports, people aren't traveling as much. They ain't got it. You know what I'm saying? So is this a wake? They trying to make it an experience where everybody
Starting point is 00:37:40 a book just, just cause I can keep my shoes on. I'm going to go fly out. I mean, try, we try. See what sticks right. You know, but that's your front page news.

Oh, go ahead, auntie. I feel like it's almost like it's taking it away. It's like, OK, OK, auntie, trying to be sexy. Trying to be sexy.

Starting point is 00:39:28 It's, it's, it is. You know, I like being an auntie. Yeah, I do. Now Tisha, were you at Essence this weekend? I was. A friend of mine was, no, no, he ain't seen me doing anything. He's a little younger and he was so, when he got back to the hotel, cause we went out later,

Starting point is 00:40:33 somebody respects I don't. Did you complain about the title of the movie when you first saw it? Oh god no no I was look I gotta work it was good it was good. It's like oh yeah I like the title it's great you know no kidding. Before we get to the movie. So does your son love the skits that you do with him online? I know he'd be like, Sometimes I look at him and he'd be like,
Starting point is 00:40:51 Ma, you embarrassing the hell out of me. No, they absolutely love, like getting there is not fun. Like, guys, y'all want to post? But once we're in it, we're having so much fun. And it's time for me to like spend time with my kids. But honestly, I was very, very like protective of my children, especially the one that's on the spectrum. And I didn't know whether this would be a good thing.
Starting point is 00:41:13 But once love on the spectrum and the way that people embrace them, it just changed everything for me. And I was like, well, maybe it'll give them it gives them so much confidence. Now it's he's like, he likes when people like recognize him now. He thinks he's funny, but I'll be like, I edit you funny. Stop playing. Stop playing. They're not toys.
Starting point is 00:41:32 They're not toys. They're not toys. But I really enjoy it now. I love it. And he's excited about it. As a matter of fact, we saw Chrisette Michelle at Essence was, she, it took her a second to come over to me and she was like, I'm such a fan of Zenz. And I thought that was so dope. You know, she had just come out and talked about her own experience and challenges. And so I thought, yo, that is so dope. And we had a wonderful talk about
Starting point is 00:42:00 it and what it's doing for his confidence. So it's dope. That's funny that you say love on the spectrum. When I first saw it, I didn't know if I should be enjoying watching it or not. It was so good. I love TV. Why wouldn't you enjoy it? I love it. It's so good, but it's just a different type of show.
Starting point is 00:42:15 I love it. What's different about it? It's just two people in love. But no, but you know what? It's different because of the way that they love. They love, they tell you exactly what they want and that's how my son is. You know, I just want him to find somebody. That's alright. We gonna find somebody for him. We gonna put out a call.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Well, the film that y'all are here for, Operation Auntie's, how was it working together? Oh, I love working with this one. We're both Libras too. Yeah. So, I mean, we met years and years ago. We just never worked together. I love her work and I love everything she's done in her career. So, it was, we met years and years ago. We just never worked together. I love her work and I love everything she's done in her career. So I, we just, it was like we were sisters at birth, you know? You know, it was directed by Wendell Raquel Robinson. We both know her. I know her from a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Yes, known her since the 90s, worked on Martin together and everything. But she, I knew I wanted to do it with her because I've always wanted to work with her. And then once she came on, I was like, oh, that's icing on the cake. So it's a great movie. We had a good time. It's like a cyber crime comedy, drama. We've given you a little bit. It's all the things.
Starting point is 00:43:18 It's all the things. And I love how it has like a message. Basically that without telling the movie, y'all are like exposed in the black market of like sex trafficking and everything it's really heavy heavy in this climate right now. It's interesting to see black women in their greatness as well. Like we are intelligent. She plays a professor and a tech genius and a tech genius. So it's nice to see us. So far from that. In that realm too.
Starting point is 00:43:45 And y'all don't run away from those traits in the movies. Like y'all are really strong. How important was that to display on camera for y'all in this movie? Well really important because the whole thing is, oh am I giving away a storyline? No, no, no. Go for it. You know we're taking them down. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:44:02 With vigilantees. And not only that but it was someone I loved almost got assaulted. So it was like, look, we police we can't wait. You know what I'm saying? So and I had the technology, which I like that part. Like, look, I'm still trying to learn how to work my iPhone. But this character, you know, she was a tech genius and she's really smart. I love that. And then teachers are retired detective who comes back. I just like that we came together to bring these people down. The conglomerate down.
Starting point is 00:44:29 So yeah, we had to be strong. And Amaya Scott plays her niece, so it's really nice. Amazing. Okay. Did y'all have to develop like any special rituals or inside jokes to like build the chemistry? No, it kind of came naturally. She's already funny.
Starting point is 00:44:45 And we clicked immediately. We had one meeting right before we started working. And that was it. We knew we were going to have a good time. Was it ever any part? I mean, because it was still humorous as well to me. But was it ever challenging? Because this is a real life thing
Starting point is 00:45:04 that women go through every day. Young women, children, you know. Well, Tisha really went there on one of the scenes where something happens and then something happens. No, we can't give it away. But it's not a lot of times that... I was like, okay, I'll tell you it! Okay! No, no, no, no, you know what? A lot of times people see me do comedy and they forget that I come from a dramatic place. So I'm able to do a lot of things in this, able to, you know, bring the drama and bring the comedy and support her.
Starting point is 00:45:37 And just from my background, just as well as yours, you know, I was like, let's improv a little bit before we do this scene because the scene comes in hot. So I was like let's improv outside before we go inside and bring it inside which really helped drive the scene because we were already in the middle of something coming in. So we just played you know what I mean? It was easy. It was real easy. We're still kicking it with Tisha Campbell and Melissa DeSouza. Their new movie Operation Aunties comes out July 11th. Do y'all get stuck on the way movies are released now or do y'all not mind like as far as streamings? Yeah, big releases whether it's Netflix or box office. Do y'all get stuck on that or not too much?
Starting point is 00:46:13 I don't you know the work is the work check is a check Yeah, I mean something you've got to work out your contract It's like if it's not gonna be released and you know in a theater know, whatever. I mean, it's not, we're not doing Mission Impossible right now, but you know what I mean? It makes a difference when it's those kinds of films. I'm sure that's why they beef about that. But you know, we got to go with the time. I mean, that's just what has to be. Yeah. You just have to evolve. Even, you know, incorporating social media. It's your own publishers. You're your own publishers. It's very true. You have to do it. You have to evolve. And that's the one thing that own publishers, you're your own publishers now. It's very true. You have to do it, you have to evolve
Starting point is 00:46:45 and that's the one thing that I know, you know, being in this business for 54 years now, you have to continue to- Don't whisper that. 54 years. Congratulations. Yeah, congratulations. Thank you, I've been doing this for plenty of decades.
Starting point is 00:47:00 No, but doing it for as long as I have, you have to reinvent yourself and reinvent yourself and you have to go with the times. So you can't, if you fight it, that's your ass. You know what I mean? But you're also timeless though. Like when you see people like Kai Sinat and Druski at the BET and all flipping out because they saw you, that lets you know how timeless you are. I would think so.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Thank you for that. Thanks. Grab it with you since before, Lord Shopper Horace. No, I used to watch your posts. I loved your posts. Listen. Gina did it first. Period. Always been a fan. I love you. I love even seeing you on this phone as well. Is it, was it purpose though, right? Like, was it on purpose that y'all really didn't go into Amaya's character, right? So that was on purpose? It was on purpose that we didn't call her Tran in the movie. Yeah. Yes, and she talks about it herself,
Starting point is 00:47:51 and it's better when she does, because she loves the fact that she was just a person in the film and not anything else. So yeah, she purposefully did that, wrote it that way. TJ Ali wrote it that way. And I love that even in the film, like she had said, my aunt has been with me since the beginning. You know what I mean? So it was good. It was a level of support and love there. And just bringing awareness to that. Because that's absolutely relatable.
Starting point is 00:48:16 Yeah, there's a lot of like sisterhood moments throughout the movie. But in real life, I was watching or reading something about Gabrielle Union at the Black Film Festival in Florida. She talked about how you saved her life because you just because your relationship and you saw her. You really saw her. It wasn't even that it was more that when I first saw her coming into the business, I knew she was going to be great.
Starting point is 00:48:40 And so in seeing that I said, listen, gab business, it got a lot of ups and downs, so let me pay for your first 10 therapy sessions. Wow. Wow. Wow. So that you can get yourself into a good place and be in a safe space because it's ugly out there. It's uglier than you think. And I just wanted her to be, I just wanted to support however I could
Starting point is 00:49:07 because I knew she was gonna be great. And what was this, the 90s? Early 2000s? Early 2000s. Wow. And it was before she was even big. She was making a name for herself. She was out there.
Starting point is 00:49:17 She was not the Gabrielle Union that we know of today, but she was still doing a lot of stuff. And when I see somebody that is going to be in this business, it's just, it's a lot. It can be a lot. And y'all see the ups and downs. Y'all talk about it every single day. I just love to support my sisters in this.
Starting point is 00:49:38 You know, and I grew up like that with Tashina and, you know, you know, that's how we are. But what got you into that head space? Who introduced you to therapy? Yeah, we're gonna say, yeah, what got you into that head space? Who told you know you know that's how we are. But what got you into that headspace? Who introduced you to therapy? Yeah, we're gonna say what got you into that headspace? Who told you, you know what, you should go to therapy because this business is hard? Because that's a great thing to pass on. Nobody told me that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:54 I had to figure that out and that was in the 90s. I started figuring out, oh you know what, I'm sorry let me take that back. It was my acting coach actually. His name is Howard Fine. I started going to him at 18 years old. Yeah, we love Howard. So Howard was always like, listen, I'm not your therapist. I think you have to always do two things.
Starting point is 00:50:13 You have to seek therapy because what we do is not, it's not healthy to a certain extent. Like most people when you're crying or when you're dealing with certain things, you stay away from it. But we embrace it and we use it for our job. Right? So he said, you have to do therapy and you have to do charity work because you have to get outside of yourself and not look at like, you know, you get outside of yourself and you're not the end all be all. And there are things that are bigger than you. So that's what he always instilled in me.
Starting point is 00:50:47 And so since 18 years old, I started going to therapy. Cause she talked about that too, just like from you learning how to decentralize herself to give to other people. People don't just do that for no reason. Like that's- No, I want people to win. Yeah. Yeah. I want people to win.
Starting point is 00:51:03 I want us all to win, you know, and it may not be on, it may be on different levels, but you know, let want people to win. I want us all to win, you know, and it may not be on it may be on different levels But you know, let's do it the most healthy way we possibly can yeah Yeah, I was gonna say so how did that help you because you know, you went through a divorce and if I read correctly This is you had seven dollars left your name. That's that's true Actually, no, the story was I had true. Actually, no. The story was I had $21 in my pocket and a knife cost $7 and I wanted to pay for the knife but it was Christmas and I had a choice to try to get some extra toys for my kids at the Rite Aid or something.
Starting point is 00:51:39 So how did that work that you had done early on on yourself help you in that moment? Well, I believe that I always had really good relationships and I forged really good relationships and the one thing that I held on to right there was what God gave me and what God gave me was my talent and my ability to reach people and to have good relationships. It was the one thing nobody could take away and so with therapy that's how I, and really good friends and weeding out all the others, I really, I'm here today and I'm really happy. You look happy.
Starting point is 00:52:14 You come in glowing, beautiful. Are you back up now or did Melissa have to pay for that Starbucks? No, no, I believe it was her publicist that paid for my Starbucks today. But we good now. One of the publicists gave me with flowers. Y'all got great publicists.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Yeah. My publicist brought you guys flowers. That's my girl. If you want to pay for my therapy, I'm open to that. I will. Don't play with me. I will. You ain't never working with me no therapy.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Listen. No more expensive now. No more expensive now. What's your problem? I have a question for you though, because I know during that time that he was just talking about the divorce, you were going through a lot of financial, you just talked about that, right? There was the bankruptcy that you guys finally closed, I think that was like six months ago.
Starting point is 00:52:53 In your healing journey, do things like that, like closing the case and being able to move on actually help you to move on or no, because you still have to talk about it? No, I think it's a lifetime of stuff and I don't really understand how we went through the bankruptcy honestly, but that I was kind of separated from it. So I don't really know how we got through it. But it really is just taking yourself outside of it and keep it moving forward. I just move forward. I got kids man.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Right. I got two kids. One has ADHD. The other one got autism. Two separate issues. And I just keep moving forward. You still got a career. You still got other things that you have to do. Yes. You know, I can't look backwards. I can't. So I just don't. It has to be difficult too because since you're such a celebrity, such a face on television, people don't understand what you go through. They be like, no, she got it. I just seen her on TV last week. No, she got it. I just seen another replay. I know you had to deal with
Starting point is 00:53:51 that. That had to be difficult. Not really. I don't really pay attention to the crowd noise. I can't. I can't afford it. And the way that I look at life, it's like a football game. Like whoever's on the field running with me and got that ball with me or running the field with me I'm good I don't pay attention to the cheerleaders those the fake friends I don't pay attention to the crowd noise because they're there that's their job to boo and to cheer so I can't pay attention to any of it I have to just block it out and keep moving forward we're still kicking it with Tisha Campbell and Melissa DeSouza their new
Starting point is 00:54:22 movie Operation Auntie's comes out July 11th. Lauren. You talked about your mommy makeover. I did. Big T awards. What was your decision to open up about that? Why? It was the deal that I made with Cosmic Care.
Starting point is 00:54:36 I sat down with them and I was like, I have to be honest with my stuff. And really, let me tell you what it actually came with because sometimes I just say my kids and I needed a mommy makeover, but I have sarcoidosis or was diagnosed with sarcoidosis, which is a genetic lung disorder, right? And so they put you on a lot of steroids. And after I lost the weight in a healthy way, it took a long time, but it left me with a
Starting point is 00:55:00 lot of extra meat down there. So I was like, you know what, it's time for mommy makeover. I got me a nice tummy tuck. I got a lift and lift it. I got some lift. Yeah, yeah. Right? So that's why I, you know, and I'm an open book.
Starting point is 00:55:13 So I wanted to talk about it because a mommy makeover isn't for everybody, but it was for me at that moment. And I wanted to feel good about myself. And baby, that burgundy. Kakao cat, I got it! Yes! From the hair to the shoes. You're looking good, baby. Thank you. You also, okay. Yeah. I saw you in the shoes.
Starting point is 00:55:25 You looking good baby. Thank you. You also said then too that you weren't dating right now because you just, it's still the same? Yeah. Cause the mom and man card, look the friends is trying to stand next to you at the concert. I like being by myself. We got some young guys for you, some young boys for you.
Starting point is 00:55:38 I don't want hit. Baby what? That's all that hit on me is 21 year olds anyway. I don't want hit. It's giving me more ways. Yeah, okay. For me. I'm anyway. I don't want a hit. It's giving me more weights. Yeah, OK. For me. I'm good.
Starting point is 00:55:49 No paps. I love this feeling. That's right. Yes. I don't have to talk. No. Well, you see, I love the spirit. Is there a timeline on that for me?
Starting point is 00:56:00 Like, is there like a- Ain't no timeline. Listen, if I need a situationship, I'll give me a situationship. Listen, Auntie, auntie you know she gonna do what she gonna do yeah but don't do it with the young boy they like to pull out cameras you gotta be careful just even talking to someone on the phone you don't know who's recording what just and you know what if you don't want somebody to know something or hear something just don't know who's recording what. Just, and you know what? If you don't want somebody to know something
Starting point is 00:56:26 or hear something, just don't say it. You know, you really have to be careful these days. You just, everybody, that's a new thing. Let me record whoever and make some money off of that later. Let me just, let me just put that in the library, in the vault, and I'm gonna bring it out 10 years later when you ain't got no money. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:56:43 My friend told me, she was like, you know Tisha, you're not marriage material. And I was like, oh my God! I'm so marriage material! Why did she say that? I ain't explaining that. No, she knows you better than us, I believe it. Why'd she say that?
Starting point is 00:56:58 She said that because she was like, guys just wanna mess with Gina. They don't wanna, you know, right now that's all they see. They wanna be with Gina. They don want to be with you and I was like oh that's messed up. I don't believe that though. Maybe the young boys I can see the young boys going that way. Like y'all guess what I just hit Gina. You know what I mean? But I can't see nobody growing. You would know better than us. No they do. Is that what people are talking about Gina?? I don't know, because I, listen, when people flirt with me, I get nervous anyway. For real?
Starting point is 00:57:27 Listen, let me tell you, because I was in a 27-year relationship, marriage, committed, so I don't know nothing about, I got you. You fangled anything, so yeah. Oh, I have you in my stand-up act. I'm doing stand-up now. Oh, yes, yes!
Starting point is 00:57:42 Yes, I do! About time, Gina. About time! Yes, I do! I up now. Yes, I am. About time, Gina. Yes, I do. I talk about something that a moment we had on the game show. Yes, I'll tell you later. Don't try to think back. It was a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:57:58 It was funny. So DMs is popular. So the young boys are all over your DMs. Yeah, I want to see that. Stay away from them. I'm not, I am! Yes. I'm staying away from a dog. They're gonna have you on the gram now.
Starting point is 00:58:10 So that video of you moving them hips and that dance video that went viral? What dance video? You didn't see the video yet? What happened? It was a good video. She was a great dancer. No, it was a good video. You were just dancing and enjoying your time, but like you was having a good time.
Starting point is 00:58:24 She was getting it. Oh, no! That was doing house music. Yeah, but she was going off. I time, but like you was having a good time. She was getting it. Oh no, that was doing house music. Yeah, but you was going all... Oh, thank you. Yeah. They gotta go. Melissa, you do.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Everybody just, they just think I'm Shelby in real. They just, it won't go away. But then they mail me their Lexi though. But we love Shelby. I know, but they're like scared, but they want it, but they're scared or they think I'm going to be mean. They don't approach you? Oh God, all the time.
Starting point is 00:58:50 That's the first thing that comes out of there. Oh, they're calling me that. Shelby on the street, you know what I mean? But whenever they meet me, they're like, oh my God, you're so nice. You know what I mean? They just expect me to be. That feisty.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Yeah, they just can't, they can't separate it. She's a great actress, cause that's what that means. She's a great actress because that's what that means. That's hard. That part. But look, speaking of that Heather Byrne said that she would be down for Miss Congeniality 3. Oh yeah, so would I. I mean, that was one of the best experiences of my career and it was very early on.
Starting point is 00:59:20 And it just shows like Cassandra Bullock is just the nicest person. And the people I was working with, they were just all kind. And you know, you don't really, we were down there for like three months and we were all young. And we all got along and it was such a nice experience and we had so much fun. But I would totally want to do a third one. I mean, you know, if they come up with a story, look, I'm ready. All right. Yeah, it was fun. I would love to do that. We need that. Is it true Tisha, you just started watching Martin five years ago? with the story. Look, I'm ready. Yeah, it was fun. I would love to do that. We need that.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Is it true Tisha, you just started watching Martin five years ago? Yes, because a lot of the millennials and the Gen Zs that are just kind of getting to know it, they quote **** in me. I don't know what the **** they talking about. What do you mean? But okay, let me back up. What? Like what? No, but that was like in the 90s. That was 30 something years ago. But so that you have some like content. Jesus Christ, that was 30 years ago.
Starting point is 01:00:07 That was 30 years ago. That's crazy. But like if so that you have content, like I said, like me and Tashina, we grew up as Broadway kids and you're only as good as your last job. So we don't, again, we don't look backwards. And we don't, we're not in the present. We're always looking at what's the next gig.
Starting point is 01:00:23 So it trained us not to watch our own work. So I don't watch my own work, my kids never watch my work unless somebody snuck it to them. Oh, that's why my youngest calls me Gina. He don't call me mommy. He don't call me mommy. If he's calling me mommy, it's something wrong. But that's another reason why I never watch The Martin Show.
Starting point is 01:00:41 But because people kept quoting sh** at me, like, um, my friend, she kept saying, look at the white shoes, look at the white shoes. I was like, what are you talking about? She was like, that's for Martin. Look at the, Jerome, look at the white shoes. And I was like, that was an inside joke that nobody was supposed to know because Martin would never let us see his outfits, but Jerome was Shanae-Nae. And so when he came through the door, and ooh, ooh, he was like, look at the white shoes. He was telling me and Tashina to look at the white shoes,
Starting point is 01:01:08 not our characters. But it became like this thing that we didn't know it was. So because they kept quoting stuff at me, I started watching it. So you never watched my wife and kids either? No, my kids don't like watching it because they say I yell at those kids like I yell at them. It's true.
Starting point is 01:01:27 It's true. Oh my God. They don't let me watch it. So they're like, no, that's too much. They look at it like this. Oh man. That's hilarious. And I love what you and Melissa have with Operation Nazis, but I really want to see
Starting point is 01:01:41 you and Tashina do some type of buddy comedy. Oh man. You know what I'm saying? Because it's like there's nobody representing for our ages. but I really want to see you and Tashina do some type of buddy comedy. Oh man. You know what I'm saying? Because it's like, there's nobody representing for our age group. Things are happening. So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to.
Starting point is 01:01:57 There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's, Teddy escapes, blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you. The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes.
Starting point is 01:02:19 Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines

Yes. All right. Our She gets into somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Starting point is 01:07:06 She be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. But it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. So yesterday in court, this will be real quick because court was real quick. I didn't even make it by the time.
Starting point is 01:07:24 It was like seven to 10 minutes long. If that they had joined and decided that Diddy sentencing date will be kept at October 3rd. Originally as we talked about last week, Diddy's team was pushing for it to be expedited. And in a letter to the court, they had asked for a September 22nd date. But then they wrote another letter to the court saying that they're just conceding and they're going to be okay with the original October 3rd date proposed by the court. Was Diddy in court yesterday? It was virtual. So they were all virtual. They were all via Zoom. It literally was him, his attorney, a deputy
Starting point is 01:07:56 for the court, the prosecutors of course and it was really really quick. Like it was just like hey we have the letters here they are is there anything outside of the letters? No. Court adjourned. So you was going to court. You said you were going to court yesterday. You were going to go all the way down there for virtual court. Because you can hear it. And sometimes you'll hear things that like the court reporters won't tweet or they don't tweet all the way because they're tweeting fast or the minutes might have it, but you hear it differently in person. I like to hear it in person. It's like watching a show versus reading captions for a show. Yes, so that is that. And the reasoning, I know a lot of
Starting point is 01:08:28 people are probably wondering why they decided not to, because that push was like, hey, we want this to be sooner because it's freshening the judge's mind. We think we'll get some leniency if so. So people are probably wondering why they decided to go with the October 3rd date. You can infer from the conversation they had the day that he was denied bond that the they probably thought that the judge wouldn't be with it because the judge agreed that he should not have any bond because of what the prosecutors came down and said. They say, look, this is not exceptional. There's nothing exceptional about him except for, you know, the crimes that he's openly committed, even knowing that the government had eyes on him. He does not care for the law.
Starting point is 01:09:04 He is definitely a the law. He is definitely a flight risk. He is a powerful man who does basically has no constraints. And they tried to bring in the fact that like, you know, Kim Porter passed away and his children don't have anybody like they want to be with their daddy. They should be with their dad at least until he's sentenced. And the government was not going for that. Like USA, a USA Comey ripped Diddy to shreds in front of the judge. And Diddy's attorney had to stand up and say look This is why we were lucky that we have jurors because she went off the judge agreed with it though Diddy still locked up until his sentencing October 3rd. Okay
Starting point is 01:09:36 I understand kids need their parents I completely understand that and that's why as a parent when you know You have kids you should move a certain way because anything that you do Directly impact them and can take you out of their lives in a split second And I'm also sure they said, you know, the same person that watched him the last ten months will be watching them until October 3rd I'm sure he said that as well. So Yeah, I mean, it's just one of the things we talked about yesterday. It's like still sad though But yeah, we're made we're made so it that's where it's at Um, but yeah, decisions that were made were made so that's where it's at. But yeah we'll keep of course I'll keep you guys updated with anything prior to
Starting point is 01:10:09 because there'll be some small things prior to and after. Now moving forward in other news Dwight Howard in the recent divorce that was filed by his wife now Amy. Amber. My bad. We actually have that clip here because he was here talking to you about. When I asked him about Amy, he was like that's not her name. I know her as Amy but that is her stage name. Let's take a listen to Dwight Howard when he was here on the Breakfast Club and then we'll get into Amber's statement about the divorce. Well speaking of Atlanta, you know I gotta ask because I'm the woman in the room. Are you legally married to my girl? Amy Luciani. That's not her name, but
Starting point is 01:10:50 Amy Luciani our name? No, that's a rap name. She is a rapper. She is an artist actually. So that's a rap name. Are you legally married to her? We are. Okay. I had to ask because you know, it was reported that you guys were but it was never no confirmation anything like that So I want to know. Oh, yeah, it's always some rumors, but Just keep that side of my life private. So everybody ain't got nothing to say. Yeah, I probably keep that private and keep it moving Well, we made us all right now. I was about to say private. It is not private anymore. I mean So what if it's all anymore. Amy? What if you started calling her Amy after that?
Starting point is 01:11:26 You ain't acting like Amy. You acting like Amy. Yeah, so Amber or Amy, as people might know her from Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, after she filed for the divorce, there's been conversations, speaking of rumors, there's been conversations about the fact that she filed for divorce only after six months of them being married and people are basically saying she did it to for his money. So Amber or Amy posted a statement yesterday and she said that, you know, this was supposed to be a private moment. She says that she's always said to him, whatever you worked for
Starting point is 01:11:56 is yours. I'm not that type of woman. She says that she actually has that in text. And she says she's the one who brought up a prenup first. And he declined. She says I do not want any of his assets. I do not want half of anything that he earned or obtained before me not a car not his properties not his business these rumors do not align with my character believe it or not some of us women really date slash marry for love so she was clarifying some things yeah how long they dated before they were married I don't think too long I'm not for sure. I know it was actually leaked that they were legally dating. No, no.
Starting point is 01:12:28 Before they even got married for real. Like, because they were in a club and like they were hugged up in a club and I think somebody had posted it like, oh, Amy Luciani's in here with the white outfit. And then the next day everybody's like, oh, all right. And then a couple of weeks later, they were married. Yeah. That how I went when I that's how I saw it on the shade room well I know I mean when I I know I know Amy or Amber and when I talked to her she said that she you know she's devastated by this is not something that she wanted to happen she didn't want to make this statement but she decided to I woke up this morning
Starting point is 01:12:58 it was there so why was it do we know why I was divorced but it was so fast I can't say right now but you know but you just don't tell us. I don't know right now. But um. What type of gossip pro are you? Yeah. Because I mean it's one. That you won't spill the tea.
Starting point is 01:13:12 Yeah. And you know it. And I got some ginger root. Hmm. Okay Kendrick. And some honey. Okay Kendrick. Okay Kendrick.
Starting point is 01:13:18 That's crazy. I just, you know, people that's. Don't tell us that you got tea and don't spill it Lauren. I don't have the tea. I asked you, you said not right now. I can't tell us that you got tea and don't spill it. I don't have that. I don't have the tea. I asked you said not right now. I can't tell you right now. Because she said she's not ready to get into that right now. But you know, she filed for divorce.
Starting point is 01:13:32 She just said that it was irretrievably broken. Never. She would have spilled it already. Ben's passed it all over the place. Miss M4 would have been gave up the goods. I don't. If I had it, y'all would know. I don't have it.
Starting point is 01:13:44 We will be back with the updates though. Okay. But I'm pretty sure divorce is not easy for anybody. You know what I mean? That's why I'm giving her some space. That's your girl though? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've hung out with Amy.
Starting point is 01:13:54 I'm sorry, Amber. I've hung out with her. You know, so yeah. I mean, she's a pretty cool person. But I was saying that the white was a pretty cool person too from what, from the what, 45 minutes to an hour that he set up here. I just commented, I was like, no, he a pretty cool dude.
Starting point is 01:14:11 And then Royce commented back to me, his ex-wife or something like that. She- Oh, in the shade room, I saw that. Yeah, it was like- You said what? I see you caught up too. Like caught up in what?
Starting point is 01:14:19 Maybe I got my own husband. The people that have relations with this man, that's y'all caught. That ain't my problem, honey. I don't know him in that way. Well, that is the reality of the situation. Royce knows her better than any of us, but that would be weird for her to even say that to you. Yeah, why you saying it to me? I just said he was cool. I just knew him as the White Howard the basketball player I grew up watching. So I'm like, all right,
Starting point is 01:14:39 the White Howard, he a cool dude. That's it. But it is what it is that's crazy over there sitting on T when I have it we will know when she's ready to have a conversation about it she got it she got a poker face that is the latest with all right that is the latest with Lauren Shalom and we you giving your donkey to? Somebody that Donald Trump wanted to deport. His name is Jose Luis Lopez Chique. What? What? He already getting deported?
Starting point is 01:15:11 You want to give him donkey? No, I said somebody that Trump would deport. We'll discuss. All right, we'll get to that next. This is the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. What the hell? What the hell is? What the hell is?
Starting point is 01:15:26 What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is?
Starting point is 01:15:34 What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is?
Starting point is 01:15:42 What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? What the hell is? I just realized Rob Fortinance said what the he-ha? Yes sir. What the he-ha? I just realized it. Donkey today for Wednesday July 9th goes to a 27 year old Minnesota man named Jose Luis Lopez Chique.
Starting point is 01:16:05 I'm telling you right now Donald Trump might deport him with no due process. I can understand why he would feel that way. I still think everyone deserves due process but I understand why you would want to deport this demon without due process. Now I am 47 years old. I am at that age where I really hate people. I'm not quite sure what I started really not liking humans, but the older I've gotten,
Starting point is 01:16:27 the more I get to know people, the more I realize why Noah only allowed animals on the ark. Okay, I completely overstead Noah because that is the only way to avoid creatures like Jose. See, Jose has been charged with second degree murder because on June 27th, he decided to take the life of a young 22 year old woman named Kaylee Arceph simply because she rejected him.
Starting point is 01:16:54 Let's go to Five Eyewitness News for the report, please. A man is in jail tonight, now charged with murder and the death of a 22 year old woman in Richfield. As we've reported, Kaylee Arceph was found after being shot in her apartment last month. Today, Richfield police announced they arrested 27-year-old Jose Lopez-Chique on Thursday. He's charged with second-degree murder. Court documents show Arseth and Lopez-Chique recently met online and had been hanging out, but Arseth expressed she didn't want to be in a romantic relationship with him only friends on June 16th around noon, police say Lopez Chiquet bought several items, including tape, a mask, an apron and gloves.
Starting point is 01:17:32 And then around three thirty p.m., his phone showed he was sitting outside our apartment texting her about an hour later at four thirty, a neighbor told police they heard yelling coming from inside the apartment the next day, officers went to her apartment for a welfare check and found our body and signs of a struggle. When officers arrested Lopez Chiquet near his home, they say he did not ask why he was being arrested, but told officers to hurry it up.
Starting point is 01:17:56 Lord have mercy. This is why women be online arguing about what's safe for bears and men. Okay, RIP to this young lady, Kaylee Arce. Fellas, please go to therapy to learn how to properly regulate your emotions. Okay, cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on teaching skills to manage emotions effectively and boy do we need it. Like what's wrong with hearing the word no? Jose, I don't care how many gifts you bought this woman. I'm looking at the
Starting point is 01:18:21 complaint and it says Jose would you know buy things for the victim, take the victim on shopping trips but the relationship was not romantic or sexual. I wouldn't care if it was. Romantic or sexual that still is not a reason to shoot and kill a woman execution style simply because she didn't want to holla at you. Simply because she told you no. Investigators saw the victim's computer and it was logged into her Snapchat account and they noticed that the victim's computer and it was logged into her Snapchat account and they noticed that the victim and Jose had a best friend badge with a shriek that had just ended.
Starting point is 01:18:52 I have absolutely no idea what the hell that means. Okay, but I can guarantee it ain't worth killing somebody over you tried to holler at her Jose. She said, no, she had you in the friend zone. She said to you and I quote, I'm only interested in a friendship and did not feel a romantic attraction to defend it okay by the way my brothers that don't mean it can't evolve into something else over time some of the best romantic relationships start when two people are
Starting point is 01:19:18 friends first it's actually great to have that foundation of friendship to stand on but that also doesn't mean you should be trying to wear her down. Perpetual persistence is not romantic. In fact, it can be kind of predatory because you are saying you are this person's friend but you have ulterior motives. If you don't know how to check that and truly just be friends then it's probably best to move on. When I look at these messages this young woman, Kaylee sent to him, she
Starting point is 01:19:46 was so emotionally intelligent and mature. Jose told her he wanted to see more effort from her and their relationship. They hung out and Kaylee contacted Jose on snapchat and said, I did enjoy hanging out with you but I don't have enough mental capacity for any type of relationship right now. I'm trying to figure out myself as well as manage my relationship with my parents and I'm overwhelmed and stressed already. as well as manage my relationship with my parents and I'm overwhelmed and stressed already. What a mature response.
Starting point is 01:20:09 Okay, they had some more correspondence, nothing that would make anyone think he was about to go to her apartment and murder her, but that's exactly what happened. Okay, when police showed up, the victim was face down on her living room floor in a pool of blood with an apparent gunshot wound to her head. I would say this is a sign of the times,
Starting point is 01:20:29 but this has been going on forever. Okay, some men simply can't deal with rejection. And as a father of four daughters, I pray that they never meet these kind of dangerous ass men. Okay, you have to teach people to not feel entitled to anything. It's a level of entitlement that makes people not be able to handle rejection.'s a level of entitlement that makes people
Starting point is 01:20:45 not be able to handle rejection. Fellas, you have to be able to hear the word no and move on, okay? You wanna know the problem? A lot of y'all never had to write a letter that says, will you go with me? Yes, no, or maybe. Gotta put the maybe, okay?
Starting point is 01:21:02 Everything about that letter prepares you for rejection. You write it, okay, you got all the options laid out. You have to give it to her. So there's a lot of preparation that goes into it. And it wasn't any assuming. Okay, you knew based on what she checked on that box, whether or not you should take things further. Yes meant it was on and popping.
Starting point is 01:21:22 Maybe meant it was a chance. No meant no. But you were prepared for all options And if you got the know you kept it moving and wrote another letter for another young lady. That's it Okay, if she said no Jose, so what? Heartbreak shouldn't turn to you being heartless if your response to rejection is murder Did you're just not simply ready to date. Okay? Look, look man, rejection hurts. Okay? It's normal. But what Jose did shows a complete lack of self-control. You handle rejection by feeling the emotion,
Starting point is 01:21:55 processing it, talk it out with somebody, and use it as fuel to grow, not to destroy. Okay? If you can't cope with the rejection, talk to somebody, a parent, a therapist, a teacher, any rational adult that can stop you from making a permanent decision based off temporary emotions. Okay, rejection is not a crime, but violence is. She popped a balloon on you and you popped her. That's not how that should work. Please give Jose Luis Lopez, she say the biggest he-huh. That's not how that should work. Please
Starting point is 01:22:36 no remorse though. Time to hurry it up at the time of arrest. That's crazy. He's gonna be saying that for the rest of his life in prison. Hurry it up. When they hitting it from the back. I bet. And they ain't gonna hurry either. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Yes indeed. Now when we come back Edgar Belonga will be joining us He's fighting this Saturday in Queens and we're gonna talk to him next. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club Good morning everybody. It's the EJNV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Akis here with us today, and we got a special guest in the building, Edgar Belonga.
Starting point is 01:23:13 He's back in here, how you feeling? Feeling good, man. Feeling good? I'm back in the city, man, you know what I'm saying, main event. Having been here, having four here in like two and a half years, you know, so it feels good. How did it take to get refocused after the Canelo Law? I bounced back pretty good, you know what I'm saying? I came back with a first round knockout, you know, 17,
Starting point is 01:23:29 first round knockouts now, and it just, it brought experience to me, you know what I'm saying? I gained a lot of experience being in there with him, you know what I'm saying? He's a legend at the end of the day, you feel me? And me going in there with no experience, I have no type of nothing, you feel me? I just went in there with what I got, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:23:43 My skill and whatever little bit of experience I got as a pro, and you know what I'm saying? I feel like I did pretty well. What did you learn from that fight? First of all, the feeling of being at the top, you know what I'm saying? Because finding a guy like him, you know, that's the top of the pinnacle of boxing,
Starting point is 01:23:58 you know what I'm saying? You don't get no higher than that, you feel me? And my generation, dudes that I came out with, you know what I'm saying? From the amateurs, I'm the only guy in my generation that fought a legend, you feel me and and my generation like dudes that I came out with you know I'm saying from the amateurs I'm the only guy in my generation that fought a legend for me. Wow and And then you know I'm saying I was like them fight Florida don't find our Manny Pacquiao something for me I fought I fought Canelo right now if you really you know I'm saying kind of lose He's a living legend right now. You know I'm saying he's gonna go down as one of the best Mexican fighters all time
Starting point is 01:24:24 And just being at that level for me to fight in front of 20,000 people being on pay-per-view The magnitude of the fight, you know I'm saying the weighing was probably about 5,000 people at the weigh-in you know what I'm saying, so just again in that type of experience because fighters You know that that that get at that level. They can't really that's that's that energy is crazy you know what I'm saying sometimes a fighter could be in a gym, look good and hit the bag and sparring, look like Floyd Mayweather, look like Andre Wall, but then, you know what I'm saying, they up against 20,000 Mexicans, you know what I'm saying? And you got them screaming, f**k your mother, f**k your wife,
Starting point is 01:24:59 you know what I'm saying? And Fat Joe's with me, you know what I'm saying? We walking in like, f**k you Fat Joe, like, you know what I'm saying? We walking in like, f*** you, Fat Joe. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's different. And just gaining that whole experience as a fighter was amazing. You know, you have a lot of respect for Canelo. You're showing it now, but especially after the fight. But then a couple months after, you guys are going back and forth. You was, you know, what did he say to you that offended you
Starting point is 01:25:20 that then you was back on a disrespectful way? At the end of the day, I have respect for him, you know what I'm saying? And I still got respect for him as a fighter, but I felt like he was disrespecting me when he started going on the rampage that whole, his whole fight week saying, you know what I'm saying, like I was running, like, oh, I was trying to survive. You were surviving, yeah. I was trying to survive, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:25:39 And then it comes to show, he took all that s*** and then next thing you know, he fight Skull and Skull's running laps around the whole ring, 12 next thing you know he fight skull and skulls running laps around the whole ring 12 rounds you know I'm saying so I started laughing I'm like now yeah you bugging bro like I was there the whole time definitely worse than you know I'm saying I don't know I was just you know my skill that's it you got I heard you say you want a rematch with him I want one you know but I know that you know right now I got a you know I gotta I gotta make my mark for you know I'm saying I got july 12 to focus on I had to knock this dude out you know that right now I gotta make my mark first. I got July 12th to focus on. I gotta knock this dude out.
Starting point is 01:26:07 I probably gotta do another big fight and then we can see. But for real, for real, the Mexican people was asking for that. I'm all over. I'm in Cali, I'm in Texas, I'm in Florida, Plant City where I train and there's a whole bunch of Mexicans and every time they see me they're always like, every Mexicans like you want that rematch you gotta get that rematch with Canelo man You gotta get that yeah, but Canelo's about to fight Terrence Crawford, right? So and that fight at one point was wide with the odds now is only two to one So a lot of people are picking Bud for that fight
Starting point is 01:26:41 I mean what if Bud I guess the size when they when they seeing Bud and Canelo next to each other, Bud has longer arms, the size difference is not big because Canelo is small for 168, you know what I mean? So what if Bud beats Canelo? Is that a fight that you'll entertain? Of course, you know, he gonna have all the belts. So, and who's the biggest, I'm the biggest fighter he could fight at 168 right now, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:27:04 Everybody, you know? Right. Caleb Laws. So you'll be done chasing a Canelo rematch if Bud beats him. Bud will be your new target. Yeah, we want the Bows, you know what I'm saying? When it's all said and done, I'm in this.
Starting point is 01:27:17 You know what I'm saying? Who do you think wins that fight? Canelo just got the size difference. For me, Bud is a two time in the Sputty World champ. You know what I'm saying? Bud got the IQ, he got everything. I feel like the size difference. Bud is a two time in the Sweetie World champ. Bud got the IQ, he got everything. I feel like the only difference in that fight, and if Canelo does win, it's just because of his size. He's been in there with me, he's been in there with Bivou.
Starting point is 01:27:35 He's been in there with big, big, big dudes. So I know Krof is powering on Dunan and him. And his skill, he got skill, don't get me wrong, but this dude is strong, you feel me? So I feel like he gonna probably try to just walk him down and just use his strength against him. No, BoxingNews24 said your desire to have a rematch against Canelo is a deluded pipe dream.
Starting point is 01:27:56 What are your thoughts on that? Who's that, who's that? BoxingNews24. Yeah, they always hating on me though. They always hating on me. I don't give a **** about them.

There's a famous headline, I think And left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's, Teddy escapes, blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you. The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes.

Starting point is 01:43:38 Make sure you order it online. It's going to be in Queens so head out there. We appreciate you for joining us. Yes sir. Lewis Armstrong Stadium, man. Edgar Balanga. It's the Breakfast Club good morning the Breakfast Club morning everybody we are the Breakfast Club let's get to the latest with Lauren
Starting point is 01:43:54 Lauren becoming a straight face she gets into somebody that knows somebody I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything she be having the latest on this. The largest, the latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. But what's the latest?
Starting point is 01:44:14 On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Well guys, Tony Busby might have got the confrontation that a lot of people have been thinking that he deserved to get. And it was on behalf of Vlad. So Vlad was on a Piers Morgan's show. They were having a conversation about, you know, the Diddy case and all the things.
Starting point is 01:44:30 And Vlad and Tony Busby were on like this, it was kind of, it was panel, but it was via Zoom. And they started having a conversation about Tony Busby in the cases that he chooses to take on. Let's take a listen to Vlad and Tony. You just made this grand conclusion that, oh, the U.S. attorney talked to a few of these folks and decided they had no credibility.
Starting point is 01:44:49 You are flat out wrong in that respect. It has nothing to do with whether these people were credible or not. Their case is a civil case alleging state law claims of assault after being drugged. That was not the case that was brought by the US attorney. And frankly, that's not a case that could be brought by the US attorney, and which is the point that you made.
Starting point is 01:45:07 Tony, your own client, you, Jay-Z and Diddy of raping her when she was 13, and we all saw it was all nonsense. It was absolutely false. She said good Charlotte was there. They weren't there. Like you have a long history. You're like the moment in tears. Not credible people you represent.
Starting point is 01:45:18 Give you a little bit of information. A long history. And you're like all these broad people. A long history. You don't even know what you're talking about. If you won a single lawsuit with any of these people you've represented. Literally 30 days ago for 640 million, pal.
Starting point is 01:45:29 So don't be telling me about winning lawsuits. How many lawsuits do you want to get Diddy and Jay-Z? How many lawsuits do you want to get Diddy and Jay-Z? You want nothing. You caught him in the knucklehead. Yes, so basically Tony Buzzi was trying to make the point that the reason why none of his people that he represents got did not get called is because
Starting point is 01:45:47 the traffic and like taking them from one place to another didn't happen because everything he's alleging happened in New York allegedly and Vlad was not going I will say Vlad won that debate It was for at least from what I heard from that clip because you know Tony Busby started bringing up things that had nothing to do With what they were talking about he brought up the fact that fact that they secured 640 million dollars for a Houston family, which is true, but that don't have nothing to do with the cases with Jay-Z and Diddy. But can I ask you a question? If you my civil attorney and I hire you to do civil work for me to fight something in court, why are you doing interviews and talking before the court? Right? Does that make sense? Does that help with the civil case? Maybe. I really don't know. How?
Starting point is 01:46:27 Because you got jurors, you got like, it goes to court. I'm confused what helps. They got public opinion too. Yes, it doesn't make sense fighting in court. I don't know how civil court works, but if you, I guess, can influence people in the court of public opinion, maybe, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:46:40 No, it's jurors, because you gotta look at the facts as well. So it's the same thing, so he's trying to influence the court of public opinion Yeah, but I just think I think Yeah, like it's just a legitimacy conversation. That's what I took from it. I'm like if I this was my attorney I don't want you on here arguing with nobody. Let's go Let's just get in court and do what we gonna do or whatever But I agree with Vlad though I mean you do so many cases that lead nowhere and they sound like
Starting point is 01:47:06 Nonsense and foolishness we'd be hearing that does hurt your credibility. Oh, yeah that Jay-z situation definitely I think 100% cuz we have something to point to even diddy's team on the civil side has something to point to of like, okay These things are crazy. But I heard this credibility to what right? Let's be honest Cuz if somebody sues somebody and they're not charging you and they're only taking a percentage of what they get who's gonna stop going to them because if somebody who's suing somebody they have nothing to lose. I don't have to put any money up. I can go to a lawyer. Lawyer is gonna get 33% of whatever he makes and I lose nothing. If he gets even a little bit I'm happy because it was nothing into
Starting point is 01:47:41 it. They don't tell the right stories stories The actual stories are most of these cases go nowhere, correct? Most of these civil cases go nowhere Everybody is not Diddy. I keep saying that over and over everybody's not Diddy and Cassie Most of these cases go nowhere. If y'all knew that y'all stop wasting these lawyers time Yeah, that is fact. Well another back-and-forth online or I don't know if it was it Yeah, I guess you could call it back and forth. The Wale Kassanat. Wale sat down with DJ Head and Gina Views on Effective Immediately. Dropping the clues box for DJ Head and Gina Views Effective Immediately. Yes, this was a great interview.
Starting point is 01:48:14 They talked about a ton of stuff. They also talked about Wale and like, you know, the conversation about him being a rapper's rapper and all the things. But he did get more into detail about the Kassanat situation. Let's take a listen. Did you know that the streamers be mic'd up 24-7? No. In the last place I thought it would be is like in this crowded little area. One thing about me, I always introduce myself to people even if they already know me.
Starting point is 01:48:36 I'll be like, wow, like what's up? I mean, we played in the game, celebrity game like last year. I saw that photo you posted. Again, I'm sure he don't like be up playing Lotus Flabon or like on chill, but he's a pillar in this new generation of hip hop. You know I had the game on and he was like, yeah man I'll beat you on this joint. So I'm like, okay he probably do, remember me, it's cool. And then I get in the car and I'm just like, my phone like, damn this **** don't know
Starting point is 01:48:55 who you are, this ****, hey. And then I'm getting texts from people like, yo, it's all good bro, don't worry about **** him. Now I'm in the room with all my peers. You know, I seen him on the carpet, but I'm like, you know, that's too much of a powerful little bubble right there of like energy that I don't really understand. So I waited and I saw Snoop and I'm cool with Snoop.
Starting point is 01:49:12 And I just walked over to him like, yo, I was crazy, but let's talk later. We didn't talk later, but you know, I think people ran with it for a story, whatever, but I just was confused. Yeah, he was confused. I think he, and he also said too, looking at it now Yeah he was he was confused I think he and he also said too and looking at it now he was shit just never said nothing of course yeah 100% never said anything. He looked crazy twice when he came back it was like yo you
Starting point is 01:49:34 know it was looking crazy like the camera's still not on yeah and the chat saw it twice. I mean Kai was again Kai wasn't disrespectful Kai just didn't know who he was didn't remember who he was there's many people out in work with and if I run past him right now, I don't remember. It's not that I'm being disrespectful. I just don't remember. Right, Jess? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo. I don't know everybody, yo. I can't believe we even still talking about this situation. That's right. But salute to Wiley and salute to Kai and I do want to drop one of the Clues bombs for Gina Views.
Starting point is 01:50:00 Okay, Gina Views, that's one of my favorite new hip-hop personalities out here. Gina energy is infectious, you hear me? When I tell you she ran down this interview, like the way Gina came with the songs, the angles, the personality, she had a whole, she made while I say wow, like Gina is one of the ones, that's my sister. I watch a lot of Effective immediately, Sleutha, my guy DJ head, you know, sensible, honest, funny hip-hop takes. I love that show.
Starting point is 01:50:24 Dope, nice. We ain't got takes. I love that show. Dope. Nice. We ain't got time. Yes you do. Okay. So another little situation yo was Kaylani and Krishan. Y'all saw it yesterday? Yes.
Starting point is 01:50:33 Okay if you didn't. Yo it was crazy right? Because so apparently Kaylani was trying to get her to delete the tattoo off her face. Like yo get this tattoo off or whatever. Krishan said you know like she wanted to you know make me a better person. I wanted her to take me to the gym with her so they started going to the gym. Later on she realized that uh Blueface had smashed her or whatever but Kaylani she said Kaylani told her like yeah uh she she did smash Blueface so when Blueface called her
Starting point is 01:50:59 because you know he's still in jail she asked her and she was right there with Kaylani went in the other room they was in the gym and she said, yo, you smashed Kailani or whatever. And apparently he had confirmed that he did. Kailani said none of that never happened. She never told Blueface, she never told Kashawn that she smashed Blueface or nothing. It was, it was, it was just wow, like how they was going back and forth. But they started like to be friends.
Starting point is 01:51:26 They was going to church together and the gym, and then out of nowhere. That's all out the window. It's an accusation. That sound like stud behavior to me. Was K. Lani hitting Prashanth? But you know, K. Lani, she like the coochie now, so it's like, yo, even if that did happen,
Starting point is 01:51:37 that was probably when she was a teenager, and she was in a pole, but now it's different. Church and the gym, that's a stud starter date. Ain't it? Yeah, church in the gym, yes. I don't know why people didn't learn from that prayer circle. But that's what Kate Lani said, she was like, you know what, look yo, I'm done, I was just trying to be your friend or whatever
Starting point is 01:51:54 because I didn't wanna assume what everybody else say for you to be crazy, and then this is where I learned my lesson, and so, I don't know. It's good they got to this point before she started buying her oversized T-shirts. Cause that's when studs was gone. before she started buying her oversized T-shirt. Cause that's when the studs was gone. All right. When the stud buy the oversized T-shirt,
