Well John, luckily it's Mother Maya have a DNA test week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. And this wife writes, My husband received a Facebook message from a woman saying that he is the father of a 5 year old.

Wow, you got way more energy for Chris Brown than your Mexican bread drink. That's because I'm black first. Okay. Yeah thank you. That's true.

All right, well, let's get the show cracking We got front page news. so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ N.V. Jess Hilarion. It's Y'all.

I'm Haley Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What about a happy single to my yo to your Chris? We not gonna do this all day, okay? I would not sit here and watch Chris Brown get more love than your Chris. Oh my God. Okay, okay.

Let's start off with some quick sports. Now last night the Warriors beat the Rockets 103-89. The Rockets lost. Golden State Warriors move on. They won that series 4-3 and game one versus Cavaliers and Pacers. The Cavaliers lost last night. The Pacers beat them 121-112. Now you talked about the boxing thing quickly. We can just go through them real fast. Ryan Garcia lost right? Yes he did. That's a Rolito Romero. Rolito dropped him in the second round and then Ryan just tucked his tail the rest of the fight. But something was up with Ryan though because now that I think about it, Ryan wasn't even

trolling or making no noise before the fight and nothing either. He was eerily quiet for a person that's been off for a year. Right. Now, David Haney also won Friday night as well. Extremely boring fight. He beat Rolito Romero. Really? Horrible. Now, what about Canelo Alvarez? He fought Saturday, but not because of Canelo's because of Scully.

Scully was running around the ring the whole goddamn time. All right. Well, morning Morgan. Hey, hey, good morning and happy Monday. How we feeling? We good girl. It's Chris Brown birthday and sing with Amaya. OK, all right. Good day. All right. So let's get into it. First off front page.

President Trump had a lot to say about a lot in recent interview with NBC's Meet the Press. He was asked about Kimar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador and what the White House is calling an administrative error, but has since walked back those comments saying he is a member of the MS 13 gang. In the interview, Trump expressed concerns about clashing with the courts, saying that the judges are in his way in these deportations. And he also said he doesn't know if he needs to uphold the Constitution

and give Abrego Garcia due process. Let's take a listen to those comments. No, I have to respond by saying again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said. What you said is not what I heard. The Supreme Court said they have a different interpretation. So he's saying that his administration is interpreting the Supreme Court ruling of facilitating

Kilmar of Rego Garcia back here differently than I guess the rest of us. So this week on May 9th, the administration is facing a court order deadline to provide an update on the steps that they've taken to return Garcia. So we will see what happens as a result of that deadline. Yeah, the fact that people are just breathing by he says he doesn't know whether he needs to uphold the Constitution is insanity. Okay, presidents are constitutionally obligated to uphold the Constitution. That is the oath of office. Okay, presidents are constitutionally obligated to uphold the Constitution. That

is the oath of office. Okay, it requires the president to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Now, if you're all ready to live in a post constitutional society, then you need to ask yourself what that's going to look like. It might look like us having a military parade, you know, so the president plans to hold a big military parade in Washington, DC this summer. this summer when he was asked about the cost. This is estimated to be about 45 million dollars. He called it peanuts compared to the value. Let's take a listen to the president's comments on his military parade that he expects to have in June. We have the greatest missiles in the world. We have the greatest submarines in the world. We have the greatest army tanks in the world, we have the greatest submarines in the world, we have the greatest army tanks in the world, we have the greatest weapons in the world,

and we're gonna celebrate it. So that parade he wants to be in honor of Flag Day which ironically enough falls on his birthday which is June 14th. And how much is that supposed to cost? So this time 45 million and his first administration he projected or he wanted to have one and that one would have been about around 90 million. So this is interesting. In that meet the president of you yesterday you know he was just talking about his trade policies and he said his trade policies may mean children may have fewer toys that cost

more. He said you know kids don't have to have 30 toys they can have three. What about him in his parade? Yes. I mean if you want kids to have less, shouldn't you have less? Yeah, it's giving Doge. Where's Doge when you need it, right? When's the last president to do that? Who was the last president to do that, to have a quote-unquote military parade? I am not sure. Let me double check on that one for you.

Just before we get into that, I will say that he does appear to be okay with short-term recession due to tariffs. If it means creating the strongest economy ever, that's what he said. Trump insists that any short-term pain will far outweigh his long-term goals. He says the tariffs will bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. and it means more jobs for a stronger U.S. I just don't understand how American citizens have to sacrifice, but he doesn't. Like, he shouldn't be throwing a parade that costs 45 plus million dollars of taxpayer

money. That's not needed. So if you want American citizens to sacrifice, then he should sacrifice as well. Absolutely. It looks like the last military parade that we had was in Washington DC in 1991 to celebrate the conclusion of the Gulf War. So that would have been the excuse me, I'm like what presidency was that? That would have been Clinton, the

first Clinton administration or the last Bush. Okay. I'm like the last Bush. I'll clarify that at 7am but yeah that's your front page news for 6am. We'll continue this conversation that the president had with NBC's meet the press 91 that was definitely george bush senior Feel nice one Okay, the old the old bush.

Alright, y'all man. Be easy, man. Have a good morning. You sound so down. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got the latest with Lauren coming up. What we talking about?

Yes, we do. Today is the first day in the Diddy Trial. Jury selection starts today and I will be there. So I want to talk about like what to expect and how it's all going to go down. We'll have some exclusive insight. And I would love to know who they're looking to pick because I was hearing old white people. I don't know why they said that this morning on 1010 wins, but it was like they're looking to pick old white people.

We'll get into it. Okay. 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. Tell us, man! She gets in from somebody that knows somebody.

She gets the details. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on her. 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. But what's the latest?

On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. So Diddy's trial is kicking off today in New York. Diddy, who's been locked up since September, will begin a jury selection today. So that's the process where they find the 12 jurors who will sit down. Now the charges for those who do not remember because it's been a long time since the initial charges dropped. He is being charged currently with sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. Now Diddy has pled not guilty to all of these charges, but if convicted on all accounts because he turned down the plea before

going to court, he could face up to life in prison. Now CNN is reporting that based off the documents that they've looked at, there's going to be several different topics that the potential jurors will be questioned on to see if they fit, including their views on sex with multiple partners, drugs, and hip hop. They also might be asked about their feelings, beliefs, or experiences related to intimate partner violence, cheating, their relationship, prostitution, the distribution of illegal drugs, the music industry,

because they're trying to figure out how can they actually find people who are not fans of Puff, to the point where it'll distort how they make the decision. It's going to be very hard. Exactly. I mean, this is going to be very hard to find people on this jury who don't know anything about this case, who haven't been influenced by anything outside of what the actual case is about. That's why they were saying older white women, I guess, this morning on the news.

So when you're talking about the older white women, it's the prosecution team that is all white women, it's the prosecution team that is all white women and it's actually led by Comey's daughter, James Comey, the old FBI director. So and I'll get into that. But that's what you're talking about. That's the prosecution. Oh, no, no, no. They said that when they were looking for jurors, they're going to be looking for older white women, people that probably don't know much about Diddy, probably not in that hip

hop world that might not have seen that video. That's a bit- Diddy wanted him crossover with people. Yeah. And has been that for a long time. Yeah, 100%. According to other reports, you know, the biggest thing here is exactly what you say,

is that Diddy is such a huge celebrity, and everything with this case, especially in the beginning with that Cassie video, has been everywhere. It was on CNN? Yeah, everywhere. That video broke on CNN. Yeah, so that's gonna be one of the issues. And that's why Puff's team was trying so hard

to get that video not to be used as evidence in this case whatsoever, but that was denied. So yeah, that's gonna be one of the things. Now, the jury selection should last only a week, so it'll only be this week. And then Monday the 12th is when the actual opening statements, which is when they get into all the stuff stuff will begin I thought you had to have a jury your peers though wasn't that am I making that up when they said jury of your peers normally

That means by like normally it's like who like just everyday people said it one people that like look like the world you live in Remember in a set Rockies case they were upset because they were The Joe Teca Pina was upset because it wasn't really any black people in the jury jury Jury of your peers normally just means that it wants, you know, we walk out into the world every day they want white people, black people, women, men, you know. A little bit of everybody. Yeah, a little bit of everybody. So that's fair. Are you going to the courthouse?

I thought you were going. I am going to the courthouse. I will be there this morning. That's what you went into the courthouse? Yes, this is Romeo Hunt. She looked really good. An amazing black designer. Thank you sis.

They let anybody in the courthouse? Not in the shout out. Oh my god. Thank you, sis I was asking how do they first come first serve? Yeah, so it is first come first serve for you know, people of the media and Yeah, I mean they're gonna check you and stuff when you come in but's first come first serve. I did hear that there was like a special media credential that you have to request in order to be able to bring in an actual laptop. And I've tried to reach out on that,

but I haven't heard back on that yet, but I'll have my phone as much as I can anyway. So I- You're like Kim Possible, you can get any goddamn way. I don't even know how you ended up in there. It's just like, I thought Lauren- You know this is a ditty trial, not a ditty party, right? I know, don't she give?

But it looks good though. It's court, not the Diddy party, right? I know, don't she gave like a lot of money, but it looks good though. It's court, not the club. If you guys are looking to see the outfit that Charlamagne is just so critical of, make sure you follow me on Instagram at LaurenLaRosa, Twitter, LaurenLaRosa, that's where I'll be keeping you.

You're on video right now, Lauren. I know, but for everyone that's actually listening in because I want them to know where to go find me after this video. And they can't see the full outfit and there's a jacket that I will also have on that makes it a little bit more conservative for the people. You know?

Nothing about that outfit is conservative. It's just crazy how anything with Diddy, folks still feel like they got a dress. Like they're going to a party. You're sitting up here in a cape. I'm getting the alcohol sprayed on your head. Keep getting his haircut every single day. Looking crazy.

Come in here with. You keep fixing that wig every single day. And you're still looking crazy. I'm wet gals, I'm wet girls. Oh my God. You set yourself up for that one. Exactly. Now I did want to mention too that

today is the first Monday in May. Yes, and it's Chris Brown's birthday. What does that mean, the first Monday in May? It's Met Gala Monday. So today So many things going on. Chris Brown as well. Yes. Today the Met Gala will kick off.

What about the Mexican Gala? kick off the theme what about the Mexican gala it's six in the wrong I know you should be worried No, for real, if they throw a Mexican gala, that's a trap. I just want y'all to know. That's what I'm saying. They're trying to play low. We can't give them a gala. Especially if it's open to kill or do not go. Don't go to the Mex gala.

The Mex gala is a trap. The Mex gala is crazy. All our Mexican brothers and sisters, the Mex gala is a trap. Well, the Mex gala is being highlighted and talked about so much this year because the theme is tailoring black style. It's an old to black dandyism and all of it's refined and sophisticated. Glory is based off of a book written by a professor her name is Monica Miller and that book you know just talks about how in the beginning days of slavery we

use things like dandyism and tailoring our style to you know assimilate away from certain things and certain you know just what is dandyism I never heard so dandyism I actually printed out pictures for you guys yo keep up there's it's your boyHUN and I'm bringing you something epic.

Well John, luckily it's Mother may have a DNA test week on the OK Storytime podcast so we'll find out soon. And this wife writes, My husband received a Facebook message from a woman saying that he is the father of a five year old. Woah!

At first he didn't remember her but then he realized they had a one night stand right before we started dating. Wait, but do we have proof he's a dad? Well, the author says there's no confirmation the kid is even his son, but the woman from Facebook has a meeting with her lawyer soon. I think she's going after our money. If the kid is actually my husband's, she would be entitled to it too. So what's a husband got to say about this? This could be his kid. Well, apparently he broke down in the middle of the living room apologizing,

but this is what scared me. His first instinct, if the kid is his son, is to pay the child support, but not be an active father in the kid's life because he only wants a family with me, his wife. Oh, this is a mess. To hear the explosive finale, follow OK Storytime on the iHeartRadio app,

So don't go anywhere, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up, wake up, wake up. You're locked into The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV, Jess Hilarious,

Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. What's up Morgan? Yeah, so we were previously talking about President Trump's interview with NBC's Meet the Press and in the last segment we were trying to figure out the last president who had a military parade and in fact it was George H.W. Bush who had that last military parade in 1991 and the conclusion of the Gulf War, just wanting to confirm that for the listeners and for you guys as well.

But moving on, President Trump, in that interview, he said he will not remove Jerome Powell as the Federal Reserve Board chairman before his term ends. Of course, he made those comments again on NBC's Meet the Press. Trump described the central banker as a total stiff and called for the Fed to lower interest rates. Now the president said, Powell is not a fan of his, but he expects the Fed to lower interest rates at some point. The funny thing is, that also came up in the interview is whether or not this whole 2028 run is a real thing. He was asked about his organization website selling 2028 gear. And here's what Trump had to say in regards to being having a potential extra term, even

though we know that it's not possible. Let's take a listen to President Trump's comments on that 2028. Right? There are many people selling the 2028 hat, but this is not something I'm looking to do. I'm looking to have four great years. So many people want me to do it. I have never had requests so strong as that. But it's something that to the best of my knowledge, you're not allowed to do. Yeah.

So Trump added that he said he will only be a two term president and said he's only looking forward to four great years. Trump also noted that there are a lot of good Republicans that could be president in 2028. He mentioned J.D. Vance, Vice President J.D. Vance, but he also said he is not endorsing anyone at this current time. What do you guys think?

He said Marco Rubio as well. I mean, the thing that I find interesting about that statement is he said when he said that he goes, I don't know if that's in the constitution or not or something to that effect. If it's even possible, I think he said something like that. And it's just interesting that, you know, is don't know if that's in the constitution or not, or something to that effect. If it's even possible, I think he said something like that. And it's just interesting that, you know, it's some things he knows he can't do, and it's some things he claims he doesn't know he can do.

Yes. And he gonna push that line and see what's happening with the courts. You're absolutely right. Let's switch gears. Former National Security Advisor Mike Walz, he will face a tough confirmation hearing to become US ambassador to the United Nations. That's what Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner told CNN's State of the Union. Let's take a listen to his comments. I think it will be a brutal confirmation hearing. Walsh at least acknowledged a bit of a mistake.

I think he's going to have tough questions, not only from Democrats, but from Republicans. Yeah, so the administration is saying that he was not fired, but instead promoted in a sense. Now, Wall's face scrutiny and backlash for mistakenly adding a reporter to that Signal group chat that discussed plans for a military strike in his former role as national security advisor. And that seemingly has happened more than once,

not to his fault, but just Hexeth. Anyways, moving on. Trump said that in the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as national security advisor. than once. Not to his fault, but you know, just heck's up. Anyways, moving on. Trump said that in the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as national security advisor while continuing his strong leadership at the State Department as the Secretary of State. Yes. So, and just wrapping things up, I think this is an important story. I mentioned it last week, but it is in effect, well, I would say effective immediately effective today according to this federal

officials say government, the government will begin collecting defaulted student loan payments starting today. So if you need those tequila shots, those Cinco de Mayo shots, you might want to go ahead and take those early on and then get your points together. So the collection efforts will be the first since the start of the pandemic, the Trump administration said the debt will be collected through since the start of the pandemic. The Trump administration said the debt will be collected through a treasury department program

that withholds payments from tax refunds, wages and government benefits. So they're coming for all the pockets, okay? The US Department of Education has not collected loan payments since March of 2020. Officials say that in the last five years, student debt has risen over $1 trillion. So if you got student loans, maybe try to make those payments, make arrangements or

do whatever you can to figure this part out because in the midst of what's happening with this administration, I can't but help to think, and this is just my opinion, that this could also be one of those things that call for punishment or unnecessary punishment down the line. So just keep that in mind. And that's your front page news. You guys can follow me on socials at Morgan Media.

Thank y'all. Make it a great Monday. Have a great week. Thank you, Morgan. I never know what day it is. Good Lord. All right. Now when we come back

We have the Ellis's Deval and Kadeen Ellis and we're gonna talk to them next. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Morning everybody is DJ envy just hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club long the roses here as well We got some special guests in the building We have the ball and Kadeen Ellis. Good morning my people Black and how you feel? It's a globe and I feel like I have the minute I hit LaGuardia Airport Is just being back home in Brooklyn? I feel like it brings us to life again It's just being back home in Brooklyn. I feel like it brings us to life again.

Now y'all are here for a bunch of different things, but y'all rebranded the Deadass podcast to Ellis Ever After. Discuss the growth of that title. Yeah. Well, it was a lot for us. When we first started Deadass podcast, it was just, you know, it was like we were joking about men versus women and what husbands feel versus wives feel. But over the course of six years, years we watch that kind of exploded on the

Internet and we don't want to take credit for being a reason why there's a man versus woman debate But this is annoying. Yeah, we kind of just feel like we want to put out content that people can say let's elevate and move forward So let's talk about topics that really affect us. For example, we we will take credit for this. I'm in 2017 We've logged our third son being born at home. Right? And we vlogged the whole process for about six months. And a new study came out that as of 2018, home births in the black community have gone up. And we feel like that's a direct correlation for us showing young black girls that there's a different option. And the reason why that happened was because with our first child, we almost lost Kay.

She had to have 24 stitches to serve with. 27. My bad, let me not take away your stitches. My worst card. You know, we had babies, we know what it is. Yeah, but no, you're right. Yeah, she had to have emergency surgery right after pregnancy and we did a lot of studies on black maternal health and we was like, let's just use our platform to focus on positivity.

So we said, Ellis Ever After is the change, because this is us after we've evolved as humans, gone to therapy, worked on being a better couple, working on being a better people. So that's what it's about. So it had nothing to do with moving out of New York and not even using the term dead ass no more? No, we still use that. We sure did. And the crazy part about it, we had to fight for the name dead ass initially because you know if you're not from New York and if you're at these companies that have you know mostly white folks. Yeah, we don't know what that means How will we ever get ad dollars behind a name like that? They're not gonna subscribe to that So there was a lot of explaining that had to be done But we saw it we stayed true to it

I think part of us really didn't want to detach from that New York persona for a long time But it's been it's time. I do like Ellis Ever After though. Who made that up? Do y'all collectively or that was you? It was him. I'll take credit for it, but we always do everything collectively. Even dead ass. We sit down and talk about it and we like, what you think about this, what you think

about that. We had a couple other options. We also liked House of Ellis, but we liked Ellis Ever After because it was the evolution of after what? After all the bulls**t. You know what of after what? After all the bullsh**. You know what I'm saying? After all the talking about what we had to do to get to this point. Thanks.

And if you ever followed us, that's what we're known for. We're honest about what we've been doing, what we've done. We don't hold back. So that's what we want to keep doing. I tell where some be, what, 23 years in the game? Almost 15 married. Yeah. So people have literally watched us over the past maybe what, decade?

Yeah. On social media, just putting our life out there, sharing with people. Yeah. You know, hoping people can relate. Y'all are definitely the reference point for a lot of people, because even my son's dad, Rome. Oh, my God. My first son's dad, man, he, man, you got to listen to what this man is dead ass. Uh huh. Even your shows, he follows everything you're doing.

He has five kids by five different You know mom, you know, and he'll listen to one of your pockets and he'll be calling him Tell him no no, no because the vet would develop a day. They they was you know, and wow He gets hung up on a lot creates a lot of arguments, but he The devil type He ain't the Devel type. So you can't speak. Yeah, I would love to know how wrong he is. That's wrong. I swear I was over here like, there's a lot of balls going. Messenger is not the right one.

Right. Yeah, you should just tell them, listen to the parques. Don't try to preach Devel. You ain't Devel. But it's right because y'all are real life though. Like y'all, the way y'all be going through stuff on y'all, I watch y'all channel a lot. The way y'all deal with stuff. Y'all were the first time that I saw a young black couple that was still like regular like yeah

They probably hang where I would go at and stuff like that and we still do yeah We walk around and people be like why y'all without security why y'all and I'm like cuz it's my hood like what you mean You know Like he could like relate to y'all cuz that's a big thing for your audience I will say this about Rome like devout now wasn't the Devile when I first started. The Devile when I first started was probably closer to Rome. I don't know him, but I was immature. I lacked emotional intelligence.

I didn't understand. Rome, my bad. I love Rome. I take pride in showing the growth because I don't want anyone to ever be like I gotta be perfect to be accepted Where? Nah, I was never perfect. I'm not perfect. I may f*** up again Hopefully y'all give me grace if I f*** up, you know what I'm saying? That's what I want people to walk around the earth feeling like you don't gotta be perfect for people to just accept you and if you Expecting everybody to accept you that's a problem

Anyway, it's a lot going to yeah to know to be honest. We almost just didn't do the podcast anymore So last February we had a bunch of live sold sold out shows Apollo. It was like historic. It was great So we're like, you know what? Why don't we go out on a high? Yeah, you know, we did all we've done I feel like we've spoken aloud, you know dealt with our issues publicly as a form of therapy through the podcast, right and We felt like we've done all we had to do in the podcast and people literally like you guys cannot do this and to your point We meet people on the regular airport random places and they're like y'all can't stop doing this because you have saved my marriage or you've

y'all can't stop doing this because you have saved my marriage or you've showed me that I'm able to open up to my partner and bring up these topics that are once taboo or uncomfortable to discuss, you know, and people say if they wanted to value have to be a cadena and vice versa. So tell her, Oh, make sure that he's on the straight and narrow. I think one thing that, uh, that is great about what y'all do is it's just open lines of communication. Now, regardless of you're in a're in a you want to start a podcast That's what you should have with your partner

You all want to just in your living room every day and say okay We're gonna talk for two hours, but we're going to talk we may not record it and put it out We're gonna talk it's just about communication encouraging that absolutely and you know what's funny most people When we first started the podcast thought it was so crazy y'all talk to each other. I'm like When we first started the podcast, thought it was so crazy. Y'all talk to each other. I'm like, we married. We married. You talk about sex?

You talk about money? Or how could you talk to her like that? People were offended for me. Oh yeah, they used to be real upset. I remember her, they used to be, yeah. They felt like you were the super controlling, arrogant, this is all about me guy. They did. And I was the farthest thing from it.

I mean from my perspective, but I get it. And I had to accept that because you have to show people over time. You can't expect people when you first put something out to say know who I am. It took years. We did our podcast for seven years. 15 seasons, won a Webby award, but it took time in the beginning. It was so much like pushback. Oh, devout, arrogant,out ass. He always talks down

But what I realized they weren't used to seeing an educated black man speak about his emotions And it triggered a lot of woman and you know I'm saying like that's the fact like I'm not gonna sit back here and not Say what I need and require because I'm also gonna ask her what she needs and require and I'm going to deliver on that But now it was my turn to talk about it and a lot of people didn't like it But now it's come more normalized like I used to when we lived in New York I heard Charlemagne every morning talk about mental health my sons now know about mental health It's not taboo anymore, and they speak their feelings mom. I don't feel good about this I'm nervous about that and we want to keep showing young men like that's okay

I'm saying especially when within our community black men and women are always pitted against each other. And if we want our black men to open up to us, why not create a space for them to do that? So I'm like, Deval, I want you to be honest with me. It doesn't have to be a brutal honesty, but I want you to be honest and transparent about how you feel because I'm not trying to guess. Like the good thing about Deval and I for the years that we've been together is that

we've always given each other a choice. And the choice happens because we are fully and I for the years that we've been together is that we've always given each other a choice. Yeah. And the choice happens because we are fully communicative about the things that we want and need. So every morning I wake up with the choice to be here and I decide to be here and it's been working for us. All right. We have more with Deval and Cadeen Ellis when we come back.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ NV 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 We still kicking in with the Ellis's Deval and Kadeen Ellis Jess I love how transparent y'all are with the public and even with y'all fans like, you know Y'all built such like a fan base for like marriages and you know people who been even divorced like look for y'all for Yeah to y'all for advice because y'all put it out there the highs and the lows right how do y'all handle disagreements in front of your kids though cuz if y'all y'all real with us

right how is it and then you know parents you got two types of like situations like that a lot of parents don't like their kids to see them disagree like that's not real so we handle disagreements as a family spot on we if we disagree on something and the kids are there We don't have a discussion in the minute. We have a discussion I will go to Jackson and say you see I will spoke to your mom You see how I don't got to be disrespectful you see how I'm gonna raise my voice Do you understand what it means to have empathy to so towards someone who thinks differently than you and they'd be like, yeah

I see it and I'm like now understand this me and your mom may disagree But that's my wife because they gonna be somebody's husband someday they have to see what it's like so I never wanted to put my kids in a situation where I was my parents never argued in front of me but then they were going to room and be screaming and hollering I'd be like yeah what is going on then your pops come out you like that why you talking to mom like that he looking at you like boy. That's my wife, right? But then that didn't give me any emotional maturity to deal with my wife for the first five years, right?

So there was a couple of days where I came home and I was making money She wasn't working and the fool wasn't ready cuz she had Jackson and I'm like what's going on? Cuz I'm thinking that this is what a man's supposed to be and I'm like what's going on because I'm thinking that this is where the man is supposed to be. And she was like, she from Brooklyn. I'm like, well that's not the response my mom gave my dad. You see the neck and the shoulder starts to go in. I just started to realize that that wasn't the way. The stuff that we saw growing up and we just felt like if I emulate this I'll be successful wasn't making me feel good.

We didn't know no better. We didn't. That's what you was learning from just observing. There's no manual that comes with any of this. That's why I give my father a lot of grace because when me and my father had a real conversation and he told me about his mental health issues and I knew about his substance abuse, it just made me realize, oh, he's just a man trying to figure it out like I was a man. Talk about it, Charlamagne. That's it.

That's it. Two months ago, my dad stayed with us to help with the divorce. Oh, yeah out like I was a man. Talk about it Charlamagne. That's it. That's it. Two months ago my dad stayed with us to help with the bus. Oh yeah that's a good story. And I'm going to try to talk about this without crying because my dad and my mom came and it was the same thing happening. My dad was kind of short with my mom and I was in the car and I'm grown. So I'm driving and my dad gets short with my mom and I'm like yo you're having a little

tantrum for no reason. I need to chill. Right? And my dad looking at me like **** I'm still your pops. But he's still like, you know what, we talk about this later. We go in the living room, and we have like a three hour conversation.

And just like your dad, he was telling me all the things he'd been through, all his fears, all his worries. And for the first time, I saw my father. As a human. And I said, yo, you were just trying to do that. You got married at 21, you had me at 22, then my brother at 24.

Like, who taught you? My grandfather was an army guy, didn't talk much. You know what I'm saying? Do as I say, not as I do. Follow my lead. Like, nobody spoke. So after speaking to my father, man, my heart got so big. Cause I saw him as a person, like that he my dude now.

Like, yo pops, let's talk. And here's the funny part, he said to me at the end of it, I gotta be better for your mom. I was like, that's why I said I'm trying to do and not cry cuz my mom is my heart yeah you know you grew up in the house and you were my mom small status she's 5'2 and my dad is 6'4 he big right and I see sometimes my mom to be like I'm not even dealing with him today and I told her my mom don't have a voice in this house because sometimes you don't give her a voice and he looked

at me and said I'm gonna do better for your mom. And for the rest of the week, I saw him try. Now, he still had the slip ups, like we all do, like I do, you know? But he tried and I was like, this is making me feel good. Because it's not always about paying it forward. Sometimes you gotta pay it back. Teach that generation how we do things now. And he's open to it.

Our podcast even, we meet people who are older than us and they will be like, wow, you guys are younger but you guys have are talking about things that I've experienced my entire life. We've actually opened up the gates for discussions too with my side of family as well. I went from a Caribbean household like having discussions about how you feel about things like that wasn't really a thing and my mom has opened up to her son-in-law in ways that she hasn't even opened up to me and I feel like as in ways that she hasn't even opened up to me. I feel like as a family unit, intergenerationally we're starting to just heal.

So that way we can pass that down to our boys, you know? And to piggyback off of Deval with your question, Jess, they see sometimes the disagreements, but there is such an abundance of love in our house that we sometimes get flack for Deval, you know, grabbing my ass or, you know, walking past and kissing and, you know, Kyra our second son would be like, get away from each other. But the love is so abundant that the moments that we may have disagreements, it far is like outweighed by what they see between mom and dad and the love that we share. I watched y'all on Lovers by Shin.

Yeah. Yes. One of the things that y'all talked about, I was like, you guys are so honest about this. The conversation when he wanted you to dress up like the me. Yeah. It was a me. Right. Yeah. It'd be a different character. Yeah. Yeah. Because I know I thought first. Yeah. When you said that you like y'all were talking about the fact that when he actually do you was like, I don't really know about that. But we can meet in the middle. And he was like, No, this is what I want. And I'm like, I don't really know about that, but we can meet in the middle. He was like, no, this is what I want. Yeah. And I'm like, yo, if I had that conversation in my group chat, my friends probably would hate my person after that because they would feel like, hold on, what's going on here?

Because you should be able to make your choices. But for you, it was like, well, I want to make sure that my man, you know what I mean? Like, who are we trying to appease the group chat or my man? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But even talk about that publicly, I was like, oh, like, y'all be really getting to. Well, Lauren don't, she don't have a man. No way.

She's like the group chat. Not even, she's the one. Yeah, they know. I'm over here just. Not even in potentials. I'm just over here lonely. No potential, Lauren, you're so cute, look at you. Thank you, I'm just over here lonely and looking.

She was with girls in Atlanta. Yeah. We had the Black Effect podcast festival, she was surrounded by studs, then she went to Magic City, got with a scribble. And she was living the ATL life. I ain't mad. Is. Then she went to Magic City, got with her scribbles. And she was living the ATM life. I ain't mad.

I mean, hey, like you said, YOLO exactly. Do you guys discuss how far you're gonna go in those real conversations? Cause getting into the bedroom, I was like, dang, nothing's off limits. I mean, really, yeah. Everything's pretty much been on the table with us. Like there's nothing, and we feel like

if we show up as our true selves, nobody could hold nothing against me. Nobody there's no room for you to create a narrative. You know it's funny we have with the evolution of the podcast now a new segment that we've introduced that people are loving so far and it's called Op or No Op. And it's pretty much do you have an opinion about this better or do you not? So we've realized that with social media everybody got a phone everybody got a camera. So everybody got an opinion about this better or do you not? So we've realized that with social media, everybody got a phone, everybody got a camera, so everybody got an opinion.

Sometimes about things you have nothing, no knowledge about, no facts, no expertise, but everybody wants to comment on something. So we're trying to now push forward, the battle of sexes is done, now we're trying to push forward thinking to myself, am I of sound mind? Do I have the facts to be able to comment on something and have an opinion? Or can I just let some things go? You know?

Like let's start that as a culture. Like we don't always have to have an opinion about something. Yeah, like you know, I don't need to know if you think you can beat a gorilla. Right. I'm a little bit of a fly. Yeah, so let's not do that. Like, what do I think about, I don't know, what's the scenario that's happening right

now in current events? Anything in current events. Michelle Obama and Barack Obama stuff. Oh, and Kanye said, you know, he was s*** his cousin's penis. Perfect example. Perfect example. Somebody asked me and Lazeal, how you feel about that? I don't feel about that.

How do you feel about Kanye s***? Somebody asked you that? That's how it be. Somebody asked you that? That's how you get interviews. I'll go do interviews, I'll go do press. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. you told me about it I didn't know what happened so I don't have an opinion on it and they're just like you don't know because let's think about the world right bow you see how they try to correlate it yeah I was coming on the family tip like well Kanye said he can't see his kids because he came out I would have actually well I mean that's that's how they tried to like yeah but ultimately it's clickbait because what they wanted was to be like Deval talks about Kanye yep that's how they tried to like, but ultimately it was clickbait. Because what they wanted was to be like, Deval talks about Kanye. That's ultimately what they wanted. So we're trying to create a trend where it's like, say for example, Charlamagne just asks. We think about it and then the interview goes, I don't have an opinion.

And then now you're disappointed. It's like, nobody want to hit you. I don't want to talk about that. I don't want to talk about any of that. Alright, we got more with the Ellis's when we come back. Deval and Khadim Ellis is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Deval and Khadim Ellis to host the podcast Ellis Ever After. Now Deval, you said you wanted to bring up something on air?

Yes. Lauren brought up the sex thing. And I do want to bring up this point, right? Okay. If a man says, this is what I require, this is what I want, the first thing in the group chat, all the girls, is, nuh-uh, you should be able to have a choice to da-da-da-da-da, right? But as her husband, I ask her, what do you want? What you require? And the minute she says what she wants and require,

there's no negotiating. So for us, what we're trying to show people is that there doesn't have to be a battle of the sexes. And the minute she says what she wants and require, there's no negotiating. So for us, what we're trying to show people is that there doesn't have to be a battle of the sexes. She said that her man want this, she gonna do it. He said his wife want this, he gonna do it. And why would we not want to do that for each other? Because who else am I doing it for?

I'm not pledging allegiance to my gender. I'm pledging allegiance to my partner. Like this is- That's a ball there. For the rest of- I'll make sure y'all get that on camera, you know what I'm saying? Do this or I do this is a bar there. I'll make sure you get that on camera I'm not pledging allegiance to my gender pledging allegiance to my partner partner partner partner But no, but seriously though, that's why it's easy for me to just be honest because it's just like if your boys are upset, man, you said that, yeah, so like, well, you're not

going to do nothing for me. So yeah, so my wife wants this, this what I'm doing. Well, I could if you let me do you like Kanye. Here you go. Hell, that one missed a moment. What happens in those moments though where you or her are like, yeah, nah, but I'm just sitting on it and I don't want to do that. Then we talk about it.

And like seriously, there's been times, there's been times like I'm like, yo, yo, you making me want to dress up on that night? She's just like, no, I'm not going to. I'm like, rain check, I'm going to rain check queen. And I'd be like, can I rain check that for another day? But then in the morning, I'm going to wake up and I gonna be there, get a tap and I'm gonna open my eyes and she gonna be in that nurse outfit or something. Because sometimes she's not in the mood.

And we get it. We got four kids, businesses, this stuff going on. You ain't try to f***ing night okay? We got the rest of our life, bro. You know what I'm saying? It's never a deal breaker like, you ain't doing this tonight, there's gonna be a problem? Nah, you don't wanna dress up tonight? Fine. But sometimes she'll be like, you know what, I ain't doing this tonight. Yeah, you're probably not you don't want dressed up tonight fine Well, sometimes she'll be like, you know, and I just know tonight, but I'm gonna bless you though And I dress up tomorrow, you know, I'm saying that you talk about Has there ever been a role that you ain't wanna play you I ain't doing that I got stories

You have a dress up like a white girl and he dressed up like the black guy and she was like Dr. Umar? She was a white girl, I was Dr. Umar. You know what I mean. My bad Dr. Umar, I know that's not sacrilegious to you, I don't want to go there with you. But that would actually be a really good role play. You know what I'm saying? Shut up. Take this black ****.

Sorry. This was at the California. Yes, I know that's where he was going bro. I was very specific. What did you ask for? It was like down to a detail. I had color contacts and I think I had done like a photo shoot or something. This is funny, this is funny, right? She had did a photo shoot with Janelle. She had on these hazel color contacts, she had on this big curly like wig.

Yeah, it was like a big wig. I looked different. She didn't look like herself, like somebody else. So I was like, yo, I want you to put on that. Put on a cheerleader outfit. A cheerleader outfit, that's what it was. Bomb, right? So now she's like, I got you, babe.

This was New Year, we were at our parents' house. We was having quiet sex for a couple days, so we was over it. I don't want no more f***ers. I'm trying to back, back, back, back, you know what I'm saying? So we get home in Cali, right? I'm like ready, I'm sitting at the edge of the bed, I'm waiting, she come out, there's no weave,

there was no contacts, and she had on the leotard. It was this real cute savage, I don't know if you can see it, but you got bitchy pool, you had crotch lift. It was a vibe, I had a little thigh high to go with it, and I was like this is fire. No, no, no, it's not what I asked. And he was. Nah, nah, nah, nah, it's not what I asked for. And he was like, yo, he dead.

This is literally what happened. That's not what I asked for. She walked over all seductively, like she had music. We had a fireplace, she put the fireplace on. I was setting the mood. The funk shway was funk shwaying. She was sexy, like I'm sitting there like this. I'm straight faced, like this, right?

So she get down, she got her hands on my knees, she going down. Like then she get to the bottom and she like, what's up? Like this is like, what's this?'m like with the contacts she like devout I'm downstairs right now handling business I said no weave no contacty is the dirtiest room. I mean, top tier. This Dusty ass leotard. I'm like, first of all, it's not a leotard, it's a teddy. It was stained up. It was not. Yo K-Pop fans, it's your boy Bom Han and I'm bringing you something epic.

Well John, luckily it's Mother May I Have a DNA Test week on the OK Storytime Podcast so we'll find out soon. And this wife writes,

My husband received a Facebook message from a woman saying that he is the father of a five year old. At first he didn't remember her but then he realized they had a one night stand right before we started dating. Wait but do we have proof he's a dad? Well the author says there's no confirmation the kid is even his son but the woman from Facebook has a meeting with her lawyer soon. I think she's going after our money.

If the kid is actually my husband's, she would be entitled to it too. So what's a husband gotta say about this? This could be his kid. Well, apparently he broke down in the middle of the living room apologizing, but this is what scared me. His first instinct, if the kid is his son,

is to pay the child support, but not be an active father in the kid's life because he only wants a family with me, his wife. Oh, this is a mess.

I just had a great conversation with Michelle Obama. To whom much is given, much is expected. The guilt comes from am I doing enough? Me, Michelle Obama, to say that to a therapist. So let's unpack that. Former First Lady Michelle Obama and someone who knows her best, her big brother Craig will be hosting a podcast called IMO.

What have been your personal journeys with therapy? We need to be coached throughout our lives. My mom wanted us to be independent children and she would always tell me stop worrying about your sister. Having been the first lady of the entire country and representing the country in the world I couldn't afford to have that kind of disdain. What would you say has been the most hardest recent test of fear? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

But it just so happened when I walk in the bathroom, I see all her heels lined up in the closet and we had just moved to this big house. I said, you got all these heels here? You ain't put no heels on. So I go in there and I throw all the heels off the closet. And I'm like, I'm going to go in there and I'm going to go in there and I'm going to

We sat there, we picked the shoes up, then we got in there. That was the one time, it's like, he asked for one thing, and I was like, here, I'm doing something that was cute, and he was like... Sounded like y'all was role we got it. I was like he asked for one thing and I was like here I'm doing something else cute and he was like y'all was role-playing. Yeah Did y'all never thought about doing a reality show we've turned out Did y'all never thought about doing a reality show? We've turned down several offers. Y'all do it on your YouTube channel, so why not? That's the part why. We control everything.

One thing I fear, because we sat down with, and I don't want to put producers out there, we sat down with a number of producers. This is always the first thing. They say, so and so. I know y'all are perfect. I get it. So there's nothing like you don't have anybody. And's not and I'm like the first meeting you're coming to me and asking me things

Disparaging things that I could say about my wife. Like I'm not doing this I got I got four sons and that's what you want me to do, right? No, I personally I know this is gonna get some slack But I love Bill Cosby, right? Not for the things that he did but for what he represented this man was so brilliant in the fact that he had a black psychologist on the set of the Cosby show every day to make sure that everything they put out didn't show black people in a disparaging way right like when you think about the Cosby show a different world little Bill this is

the content we want to create we have a cartoon series that we've been pitching for our about our kids called The Ellis's and the Time Machine. Because we wrote a book called The Ellis's and the Time Machine. Why do we have to say Black Lives Matter? And it's an animated series about history. These are the things I want to do. I don't want to get on television and argue with my wife about trivial stuff.

I'm also not going to include my friends, right? For example, your friends are just hilarious. What she like? I know that's the stuff they ask. And I'm like, I'm not not gonna include my friends, right? For example, your friends are just hilarious, what's she like? I know, that's the stuff they ask. And I'm like, I'm not doing that. So we say we not doing the reality show thing unless we own it. Yeah.

Listen man, Deval and Kadeen Ellis, I love talking to y'all because growing as individuals is a lot by itself, but growing as a couple is insanity. Insanity. If you're not constantly communicating, you might wake up one day and not know who that person is. So we can learn anything from y'all

I think constantly communicate with your partner. Yes, indeed and thanks for growing with us to Charlamagne I mean, we've been on the breakfast club a couple times Same thing here like the things y'all are doing here talking about mental health I can't stand politics because it gets on my nerves but bringing the information to people that's all we can do right the greatest thing you can give humans is inspiration and the Breakfast Club is inspiring people I hope y'all know that. We appreciate y'all, man. This has been a part of our lives since living here. Thank you, boy. Yes, and my kids know y'all too.

They sure do. The kids listen. We keep them still very, very New York. That's right. Very New York. Dead ass. Very dead ass. Let's get you the latest.

What are you throwing? Wow. I'm becoming a straight fat. Tell her, tell her. Made it. She gets to meet somebody that knows somebody. She gets to detail. I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

She be having the latest on you. The largest, the latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, what's the latest? On The Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Michelle Evans, who has come out and claimed in a now a civil suit that Shannon Sharpe sexually assaulted her, has spoken out in an interview about the allegations.

Let's take a listen to Michelle speaking on her alleged rape. What happened that day? It was fighting. It was the biggest argument that we ever got in. You know, he was manhandling me beforehand and he wanted to have sex and I told him no because you gave it to somebody else. I didn't only tell him no, I told him why. He wouldn't take no for an answer.

So he overpowered me, put me to my knees, put his penis in my mouth and after he got enough of that, he put me on the bed and you know, this was all a struggle. I had said no. It was the hardest. Yeah this is too hard. I remember he got dressed. He knew what he did and so you know I just kind of escorted him out the door. Yeah. You just smelling it? No I'm not. What's so about the smell? Oh, never mind. I smelled it earlier though. I know what you're talking about.

And then she talks about, because I think a lot of people have a question of why didn't she go and file a police report at the time? She talks about that as well. Let's take a listen. He started coming at me. If I tell anybody, he'll use everybody he knows to destroy me, which he basically has. Then he started making other threats, threats against my life. He just was so worried that it would get out and I wasn't gonna do anything. He told me he was watching me and all that. I just went and got a protective order.

Unfortunately, shortly after he doxxed me and my address got out and I had somebody stop by my apartment and somebody came up to my door and said, shut up Screamed it at the top of their lungs and I had my daughter in there right there and I was like, oh no And so I went in I dropped it because also at my house Somebody came and sat out front of in the driveway while my daughter was there alone Why didn't you file a police report when he raped you because I was scared for my life Everybody he knows and he knows lots of police officers. So I didn't know that if I went down there, that that would be one of the people that he knows.

Now, this has been an interesting conversation following the claims that have come from the $50 million lawsuit that was filed by the OnlyFans woman that Shannon Sharp also named. Because even in this interview, she speaks directly to her and she's like, I know what you're going through because the same thing happened to me. She mentioned that her address allegedly was leaked.

She also talked about a time where she was working at CNN and Shannon Sharp had gotten an interview with the job. And during the interview, he talked about the fact that the protective order was dropped but it was centered allegedly at that time as if it was dropped because it was substantial. Right. She says that it went a different way. Let's take a listen to this last audio. Then he started going on television. He came to my job, turned on broadcasting, went on TV at CNN, and it was my job to put the videos from up to YouTube for CNN. So I'm putting up this video,

and here I see Shannon at my job talking about domestic violence and the co-host mentioned that, oh, you had one that was just totally dropped, made it look like the police dropped it, you know, not that I had gone down and withdrawn it. It created a picture that wasn't accurate. Now, she's- So she had press charges against Shannon back in the day? She had asked for a protective order, which would make it where he can't come within,

you know, like a certain radius of her and things of that nature. And she did it back then or she didn't? She did it back then. But she said that she, so according to Michelle Evans, she went to, you know, police and said, can y'all just drop this, I wanted to go away because she alleges that she was basically being like taunted.

Like people would pop up and her daughter was around, so she didn't want her daughter, like you know, anything that happen, she feared for her life allegedly, right? But when Shannon Sharpe's team responded to this, they called her claims ridiculous and completely without merit. They say that, you know, and then they point to the fact that this case is still ongoing, the defamation suit that she filed in 2023, and that a judge denied her request for order of protection. And he had mentioned this in the beginning, probably like a couple weeks ago, he dropped

a statement that I received and they called this, you know, just people coming out of the woodworks to try and share a connection with Shannon Sharp and attempt to profit off of a relationship. They say it's, you know, her alleged targeting is purposeful, design a creative fabricated narrative. But, you know, when this video came out, people were, cause we were trying to figure out who Michelle Evans was. I think a lot of people didn't remember that suit

back in 2013, I mean 2023. So this is all familiar, pretty much new. That white lady name is Michelle Evans? Yes. So is that the Michelle in the live? She hasn't confirmed that she was or was not the Michelle in the live, but I doubt it because they've been going through

legal litigations for almost 15 years now. So I doubt that he would have been on live with Homegirl. I hope not. Well, you said 2023. But this all, like all of their issues began in 2010. Got you. Yes, and that's when there was, since 2010 to now, there's been a protective order

that was then not a protective order anymore and a defamation lawsuit that is still on hold. She was cheating on her husband. With him. Yes, that's what she says. Yep. Monique over the weekend to have something to say about the Shannon Sharpe stuff on stage I believe she was in Indianapolis you know she's still torn hitting the stages let's take a listen yeah she said she said yeah we can't really hear her well.

She's so ashamed to leave that white shalom. Yeah, she was talking about the clip from her on Club Shashe where she's telling him to leave the young girls and the white women alone. Crazy. So all of this is like one thing after the other with the Shannon Sharpe situation, but he still is denying all allegations.

Of course. Has he said anything recently? No. So the last statement that he dropped it was like last week, early last week which was what I would just read from. They basically gave this long statement that said all of this is purposeful, these women know what they're doing allegedly, it's a shakedown, we're not going to keep addressing these things because these are fabricated stories.

And every time I reach back out for any additional statements, I did do that today because of the interview and I did it on Sunday They normally point to this statement, but I'll see if they give me anything additional But Michelle Evans is still Murray, right? Oh, I don't know. She's still with her mean or not Hmm. Did she say something like I don't know if I was cheating at the time That was kind of weird she couldn't remember I thought that that was weird too She couldn't remember whether she actually broke up with, because she said, she alleges that Shannon Sharp wanted her to break up with her husband, but she got upset because

he had a girl in his house that he moved out and then moved another girl in and she didn't know. So she didn't want to have sex with him allegedly the day when he showed up and allegedly raped her because she was mad because he was dealing with other women, but wanted her to himself allegedly. But she couldn't remember whether she cut it off with her husband or not. Yeah. Alright, well, that is the latest with Lauren.

Charlamagne, who you giving your donkey to? Man, four after the hour. Speaking of disgraced white women, we need Shiloh Hendricks to come to the front of the congregation. Would you like to have a word with her, please? Alright, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne, say the game. Don't get other shame, man. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the Donkey of the Day.

So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man, hit it with the G. Yeah, it's the Breakfast Club, bitches. Who's Donkey ofijote today? Well Ed Sheeran, Don Quijote today from Monday May 5th, single to my own! Goes to a stink ass male named Shiloh Hendrix. Okay, oh the mayonnaise is heavy with this one ladies and gentlemen. See there is a human jar of Hellman's amongst us and her name is Shiloh Hendrix.

Now from what we've gathered, Shiloh appeared to hurl a racist slur at a black child. Okay she appeared to call a five-year-old child the N-word at a park in Minnesota because she said the five-year-old took her son's stuff. Now according to the person who recorded the video Charmake Omar he said the little boy is on the autism spectrum. So she called this five-year-old little black boy the N-word because the little boy allegedly took her son's stuff. Let's go to KTTC News for the report please. The woman accused of using racial slurs against a boy at a Rochester park captured in a now viral video appears to have identified herself publicly in a sizable crowdfunding effort.

A user on a crowdfunding site identifying as Shiloh Hendricks has increased her fundraising goal to one million dollars. Regarding the incident at the park, the user writes, quote, I recently had a kid steal from my 18 month old son's diaper bag at a park. I called the kid out for what he was. End quote. KTTC reported yesterday that Rochester police are actively looking into the viral video showing a woman holding a small child making racist slurs in reference to another child at the playground who she claims had taken something that belonged to her child. The person recording the video alludes to the child being targeted as having special needs. On its fundraising

page, the NAACP acknowledged the woman in question's fundraising effort writing, quote, many of the comments from her supporters celebrate and justify her hate, end quote. So much to unpack here. First of all, completely unnecessary. Okay. Excessive use of racism. Listen, there's going to be times that the bigger than us rears its ugly head. Okay. There are going to be times when random acts of racist thoughts pop up in your mind. Okay that doesn't mean you can act on them. I'm not gonna sit in and lie to y'all and act like I haven't thought about these things. Okay white man cut you off in traffic you gonna

think to yourself crack ass cracka. Okay that was at Universal Studios last weekend. Literally about to get on the elevator with my family and in this couple a man and a woman I believe they were Mexican they came running and cut in front of us and just jumped on the elevator and closed the door. The first thing that came to my mind was, now see if I call ICE, I'll be wrong. Why do you think they were Mexican? What you mean?

I got ICE? What the hell's wrong with you? Well, listen to me. Everything I told you was thoughts, okay? I didn't act on anything because I'm not that kind of person. Regardless of what my mind tells me from time to time, I attempt to be the change I want to see in the world.

I believe in equality for all. So there is no reason on God's green earth other than the mental illness called racism for Shiloh to be calling this little five-year-old boy the N-word out loud. Okay, now, Charméke Omar asked Shiloh a valid question. He said, and I'm paraphrasing, does this child taking your son's stuff

merit you calling him the N-word? She replied, if that's what he's gonna act like let me tell you something we all know that niggas going egg but this little boy is five okay his behavior is simply that of a five-year-old what do you mean Shiloh if that's what he's gonna act like he's five okay five-year-olds act like five-year-olds at five they're just beginning to understand social and emotional development So if he took something from your son, then you simply find his parents Tell them and then they can tell their child don't do things like that. That's not yours. It's simple, but you are racist

So you was just looking for a reason to let the n-word fly now Would you like to hear the actual audio from the park? Let's listen. You don't go digging through people's s***. Nobody digs into s***. A little f***ing kid just digs into s***. A little kid you call him a s***? A little child? What if he acts like one he's gonna... Are you about to hit him? You're chasing him here?

He took my son's stuff. So that gives you the right to call a child five year old and l***ed inward? If that's what he's gonna act like. That's what you're gonna call him? That's what he's gonna act like leave it inward that's what you're gonna call him you know that's a hate speech and you can do that now let's talk about the fundraising Shiloh decided to become the victim okay she set up a fundraising page for herself which she titled help me protect my family okay in case you

missed the news report she claimed in the page description that she is now in a dire situation. She says, I recently had a kid steal from my 18 month old son's diaper bag at a park. I called the kid out for what he was. Then she claimed that members of her family are being attacked and her personal information, including her address and phone number has been leaked.

You aren't being attacked Shiloh. You are being called out and held accountable because you called a little five year old boy to N-word. And accountability feels like an attack when you're not ready to acknowledge your toxic behavior. Now Shiloh concluded her message by asking for funds to assist in protecting my family and potentially relocate. Yet another example that free speech ain't free.

Why are you using words that you can't afford to use Shiloh? Now Shiloh's fundraising goal was originally set for 50 grand but as you heard in the news report it was increased to 1 million dollars. After that initial amount was reached and as of yesterday Sunday May 4th she has raised over six hundred and twenty four thousand dollars because she called a little five-year-old boy the N-word. And you wonder why some people spell America with three K's. Now first thing I did was looking to the fundraisers policies and Gibson Go, that's the name of the platform, Gibson Go said, the company does not endorse or condone the personal views

or actions of individual campaign organizers or their supporters nor do we control the motivations of donors basically is nothing they can do about it okay there is no violation on their end but you do know give Sengho that you are complicit in rewarding racism call it what it is they are rewarding Shiloh's racism only in America can you call a five-year-old boy the N-word. Okay? Get called out on it and then play victim and raise almost $700,000 because of your bigotry. That's crazy. Well, this is a free country, ladies and gentlemen, and there is such thing as freedom of speech. Even though we know there is a cost to every word that comes out of your mouth, some people

are willing to pay that price. And in the case of Shiloh Hendrix, she didn't pay the price. She actually ended up getting paid. Just always remember though, freedom of speech works both ways. So with that said, please let Chelsea Handler give Shiloh Hendrix the biggest hee haw. Hee haw, hee haw. That is way too much Dan Maynaise.

Let Kathy Griffin get in on that too. Please give this giant jar of mail the biggest hee haw. Hee haw. Hee haw. Hee haw. What about my guy Chris Rock? You got something to say? Cracker ass cracker! Is my girl still working the drive thru? Is she working the drive thru today? Cracker!

Oh okay. Just making sure everybody gets the right to express their freedom of speech. Alright. That's crazy. Disgusting. Alright, thank you for that donkey today. Yes indeed. Now when we come back today is national silence the shame day shantay Da that's right shanti das to be joining us. We're gonna talk to her next she's a mental health advocate ex music industry vet She has so much to do with our outcasts and those early days. We're gonna talk to when we come back to breakfast club

Good morning the breakfast club Morning everybody is DJ envy just, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It is Mental Health Awareness Month. Yes it is. What we do each and every May, May 5th to be exact, Silence the Shame Day, and we have a very special guest, Shanti Dias. Welcome back.

Hey! Shanti! How are you boo? How you feeling? I'm feeling good actually. So 10 years ago, I almost took my own life. Well, it'll be 10 years in September. So this is like my year of rebirth.

That's what I'm calling it. And I'm in such a good place. Amen. In space. And I have really accepted being like this mental health advocate and doing this work and not being stressed about going back in the music industry, even though I'm still proud

of my boys like outcasts. You know, gonna be inducted into the hall of fame. And so it's just, it's good. I'm feeling really good. So thanks for asking. Before we get into the Silence of Shame Day and Mental Health Awareness Month, I do wanna ask you, what does Outkast being inducted

into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame mean to you? Cause you was there from day one. It means everything. Day zero, actually. Yeah, Play Us Ball was the first record I ever worked. And so shout out to Andre Big, the late Rico Way, Organized Noise. It's like the holy grail, right, of music.

And so they finally achieved that and I couldn't be more proud. And just to have been there passing out like cassettes during Freaknik and, you know, the Southern Playlist that Cook out. Were you on the documentary? The Freaknik documentary? Yeah, I was on it. I did see you on it. When they were talking about you were giving out, you had to go there and give out cassettes

and all that. And to this day it's crazy. Like whenever I see Too Short, he was like, yo, you were on there, right? Yeah, I did see you on there. When they were talking about you were giving out, you had to go there and give out cassettes and all that. And to this day, it's crazy. Like whenever I see Too Short, he was like, yo, you gave me that cassette and was like, yo, check out my new group, OutKast, they're gonna be dope. And we laugh about it all the time. Did you know that OutKast would become the global iconic superstars that they became?

I mean, you never know, right? But I had the O on my chest, right? The L on my chest, LaFace, Outkast. And I just was really committed and dedicated because I knew that the A was going to support them. It was a different sound. And like, you know, in Atlanta, we grew up supporting East Coast rap, West Coast rap, but we didn't really have our own, even though we had people like Shadi. They hadn't really received national attention, right?

And we would always wear like Dodges hats or Yankees hats. hats but finally we could wear like the Falcons you know logo here and the Braves gear because Big Boy Andre made that cool and they really brought like Atlanta to the world like Usher's doing now his tour right he bringing it the A to the world but Outkast set that up initially and really transform hip-hop absolutely I know they transform southern hip-hop but look at a lot of the artists that are still influential, they're still from the south. And so to have been at the forefront of that and been right there with them, I can't explain it.

It kind of solidified even just me and my journey and what I've been able to contribute to the music culture. Alcaz is arguably the greatest hip hop group of all time and one of the greatest groups period in music of all time. 100%. 100%. Yep. You know, so when you started the show, you were talking about your rebirth, right?

You thought about committing suicide 10 years ago. Now with this day and age, what do you tell somebody that's possibly thinking the same thing, you know, is stressful, you know, they're looking at the price of everything going up, it's hard to get a job. They're looking at politics. And they might feel left out. They might feel like there's no place for them. So what do you tell that person, especially in the social media world

where nobody wants to be your friend and it's a very evil place, what do you tell that person, that individual? First of all, it's like honor your feelings. If you're not feeling good, you gotta acknowledge that, right? I coined this new little acronym, wrapping through your problems. The R is being able to recognize those unfamiliar feelings. The A in RAP is acknowledging and accepting, right?

Something ain't right. I don't feel like myself. And the P is being able to process through those feelings with a licensed professional counselor or someone, you know, that can actually help you, even if you call your PCP, your primary doctor, say, I'm not feeling like myself. So you got to be able to recognize, accept, and acknowledge those feelings. And understand that you got to protect your peace at all costs. You got to be unapologetic, right? Now more so than ever, because like you said, we're getting hit in a lot of different directions. And people will be like, oh yeah, we all in this together. Not really. We might be in the same storm, but we ain't in the same boat. That's real.

And whether it's socioeconomic factors, lack of access to care, like it's not the same. And we can't pretend that it's the same. And I know we have people that, you know, want to help and do more. But you got to dig deep inside yourself. Because even when I was going through my suicidal ideation, I had to dig into my faith and my spirituality and I had to also talk to people and let people in. So that's truly important. And then I tell people, you got to remove things that aren't serving you anymore. You can't just be a people pleaser. Like let go of the scrolling, the doom scrolling and all of that and really focus and be present

with yourself. And sometimes therapy isn't for everyone, but doing like sound baths or getting out walking, immersing yourself in nature, like all of that really matters. And like for me now, if I'm not feeling good, because I still go through my moments, I'll just get up and go outside and take a walk, or I'll tell people like, hey, I need a minute. And it's okay. That's your time.

That's your mind. That's your body. That's your spirit. So you got to really take ownership of your mental health and wellness, because every day, y''all is something different. Like I'm like, am I in a movie? Like that gets scripted into something I didn't sign up for because it's really scary. I know you can't believe everything you see on social media

but I try to go to reputable outlets, right? Like the Breakfast Club. But I saw on one of the other outlets that federal government is considering like canceling $ billion dollars of funding for mental health for students. Being able to provide additional counselors and that sort of thing in school systems across the nation and that's really scary. And we know how mental health is affecting young kids because of this little thing right here.

Right. And I don't just only blame social media, but it's a lot of pressure and these kids need the support. So yeah, we got to fight back and fight back in terms of protecting your peace, getting the help you need, reaching out to organizations like Silence to Shame. There's a super dope lady I met last week at the Accelerate her conference in Miami, her name is Ashante and she does a lot of healing. And so she just talked about the importance of like really immersing yourself in these healing practices with everything that's going on. And so I'm recommitting myself to whatever I'm doing is giving time for Shanti.

If I got to set an appointment at three o'clock during the day for Shanti to step away and take a moment and breathe or get a massage or do something, you just gotta do it, y'all. What are your vibes for people to find their happy place? So I realized my biggest happy place is my family. I can cut off, I enjoy watching my daughters dance, I enjoy watching my son play soccer,

I enjoy talking to the kids cooking. So I found my happy place, right? How do you tell somebody to find their happy place? You know, how do you do that? Because it has to be a place where they just let go and release. 100%. But think about some of the most joyful times, and I know everybody's life wasn't the same, so let me start with that. Some people did not have a happy upbringing, and I'm sorry for that, right, if that was your truth and your journey. But if you did have fun when you were growing up,

go back to when you were like eight years old. Like what did you use to- You want me to play with Legos? Whatever it is that should help. No, but you know what, to that point, Sean, I mean, what did you use to do to make you happy? Playing outside. That's why I love grounding so much.

I tell the adults that all the time, take your shoes off, especially now that you just want to take your shoes off, take your socks off, go walk around barefoot in the grass, just run around the yard, breathe some good air, ride your bike. Think about how joyous you felt as a kid when you simply played outside. I was over at my cousin's house the other day

and I started playing with the Rubik's Cube and I was like, yo, I forgot how much I love this this and it had me going for like an hour but just find things that used to bring you joy. Get your Barbie doll Jess. Period. Oh I'm already happy and overjoyed. So I don't need to go to see one of these. You gotta find that inner child.

That is so important. Absolutely. Alright we got more with Shanti Daz when we come back today is National Silence to Shame Day so don't go anywhere it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning everybody it's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Good morning everybody, it's DEJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Shanti Das,

today is National Silence to Shame Day. Charlamagne? I wanna ask you this Shanti about suicide. Sometimes, I'm sure you're familiar with the Mel Robbins' let them theory, right? Which is basically let people make their own choices, like whatever they wanna do. So sometimes you hear adults complaining, you know,

nothing is ever going right for them. They always telling you, you know, about all the bad that's happening in their world. They talk to you about wanting to commit suicide and you strangely start to understand where they're coming from. You know, and you realize encouraging them to get help isn't working. So do you just let those people make their own choices? That's a really great question. It's a tough question at the same time. You know, the thing about it, the reason why with Silence of Shame,

we try to provide as many resources as possible, but you can't make someone do something, right, that they don't wanna do. But you can try to be a positive influence in their lives. And so I've talked to people who have been contemplating and I've shared my story That's why I think storytelling is so important and people have to speak up and share their stories around it I don't think you just kind of like relinquish everything and let it go but you try to be there for them and

keep encouraging them as much as possible and putting resources in front of them and showing them how other people have survived. Because the last thing you want to do is kind of wash your hands of it and then a week or two later something happens. Something happens. But then, yes, you're right, but then we also got to protect our peace. Oh, 100%. So it's just like- So you do it to the extent, to your point, that you are kind of protecting your peace.

Because again, people have choices, right? God gave man and woman choice. So you can only do so much, but, and then, you know, faith comes into play. You know, I'm a woman of faith and so I'll continue to pray for that person. So yeah, do what you can as much as possible, put the resources in front of them. And, you know, let's hope and pray for the best. But a lot of times when people aren't. Yo, keep up this is your boy, Bom Han and I'm bringing you something epic. Introducing the K-Factor, the podcast that takes you straight into the heart of K-pop.

We're talking music reviews, exclusive interviews, and deep dives into the industry like never before. From producers and choreographers to idols and trainees, we're bringing you the real stories behind the music that you love. And yeah, we're keeping it a hundred, discussing everything from comebacks and concepts to the mental health side of the business. Because K-pop isn't just a genre, it's a whole world, and we're exploring every corner of it.

And here's the best part, fans get to call in, drop opinions, and even join us live at events. You never know where we might pop up next. So listen to the K Factor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This isn't just a podcast, it's a movement. Are you ready? Let's go.

My husband has a secret son from a past partner. Hold up Sam, how do we know? Have we done the DNA test? Well, John, luckily it's mother may have a DNA test week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. And this wife writes, my husband received a Facebook message from a woman saying that he is the father of a five-year-old.

Whoa! At first he didn't remember her, but then he realized they had a one night stand right before we started dating. Wait, but do we have proof he's a dad? Well, the author says there's no confirmation the kid is even his son, but the woman from Facebook has a meeting

with her lawyer soon. I think she's going after our money. If the kid is actually my husband's, she would be entitled to it too. So what's the husband gotta say about this? This could be his kid. Well, apparently he broke down in the middle of the living room apologizing,

but this is what scared me. His first instinct, if the kid is his son, is to pay the child support, but not be an active father in the kid's life because he only wants a family with me, his wife. Oh, this is a mess. To hear the explosive finale, follow OK Storytime in the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, my name is Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose. I just had a great conversation with Michelle Obama. podcast or whatever you get your podcast. Michelle Obama and someone who knows her best, her big brother Craig, will be hosting a podcast called IMO. What have been your personal journeys with therapy?

We need to be coached throughout our lives. My mom wanted us to be independent children and she would always tell me, stop worrying about your sister. Having been the first lady of the entire country and representing the country and the world, I couldn't afford to have that kind of disdain. What would you say has been the most hardest recent test of fear? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty

on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's nostalgia overload as Wilmer Valderrama and Freddy Rodriguez welcome another amigo to their podcast, Dose Amigos. Wilmer's friend and former That 70s Show castmate Topher Grace stops by the Speakeasy for a two-part interview to discuss his career

and reminisce about old times. We were still in that place of like, what will this experience become? And you go, you're having the best time. But it was like such a perfect golden time. Listen to Dose Amigos on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Crisis, they don't know how to get the help, right?

Or they need somebody to say, hey, I'll go to the doctor with you, or I'll, I'll help y'all walk with you through this process. And you can only do what you can do. And you were right. So Trump administration did discontinue, $1 billion in school mental health grants and the grants supported hiring school psychologists and counselors and it was funded by bipartisan legislation that was passed after the 2022 massacre at Uvalde, Texas. Yeah, because see a lot of schools sometimes they might have one counselor for like 10 schools and it's like the number of kids that are in crisis like that's just not enough help and support. And sometimes they're not licensed professional counselors, they just may be social workers, which social workers are great. But oftentimes, if these kids

need to learn how to get through the crisis that they're in, they need someone that's licensed, right? And more of a professional counselor. So, you know, y'all got to call your legislators, you know, talk to your senators, talk to your congressmen and women, and you know, we gotta push back on this because we need that funding, right? We need to keep pouring into our kids. I was gonna ask, do you see the suicide rates going up and depression going up, or do you see it stabilized,

or do you see it coming down with all the mental health talk and all the, you know, platforms and places where people have to go now? What do you see? So from what, I think the last study that I saw was like from 2021 or either 2022 and suicide rates, particularly for black youth who are up 30%. You know, a lot of those studies, they don't happen every single year, right? Those large pool of research studies, but there has been an uptick rather.

Even just two weeks ago, there was a young man in Atlanta who happened to have gone to prom two years ago and then some of my other friends, cousins knew him. He took his own life. So I still see, I'm still getting texts and comments about these young people taking their own lives and so it's still prevalent. Are they blaming it on social media? Is that what they're saying it is? Or they're saying lack of resources in the school?

What are they saying the reason is? I'm always curious because I just feel like you know when we were growing Up we would we were just as bad But we just didn't have that social media element where people were constantly going out I don't think we had the language nor do I think we had the same spaces to even to even express those issues like my dad Was dealing with all types of mental health issues that he never talked to me about until I was like 40 40 years old But even with all years. And we didn't know how to name it or what to call it either, right? But even with all that, it's getting worse.

It feels like it should be getting better now that your dad could talk and that I can talk and be open and Jess could talk, but I feel like it should be getting better, but it doesn't seem like it is. Well, you know, I don't know if I can pinpoint it on one particular thing, Envy, but I do think it is still a lack of resources

in some areas, because still in underserved communities, people know about it, but they aren't taking that next step. That's why I'm proud I have an announcement. So we created this PSA campaign and it was around black men's mental health and it was called healing the spaces between us and so it was a grandfather, a father and a son and we just got nominated for a Southeast Emmy y'all. Shout out to Megan Short-Jour Pringle who is our creative director in Oak Films who put it together but you know we're really trying to push that narrative especially to you know young black men and their grandparents and their fathers. Y'all get together and talk about it. Nothing to be

ashamed about but you gotta put your cars out on the table and talk about it. Last week was black children's mental health day right? Yep. Yes So two years ago, Senator Anderson in the state of Georgia wrote a resolution designating May 1st as Black Children's Mental Health Day in Georgia on behalf of Silence of Shame. We'd love to do that in New York, so maybe we could partner with the Mental Wealth Alliance and designate May 1st in New York State. Because again, we're trying to just bring awareness to the problems that's going on, So we can try to cut off those, the numbers, right, that keep increasing for suicides among others.

Absolutely. And you know, this is Mental Health Awareness Month, and there's always a lot of focus on raising awareness, right, but how do we move past just awareness and start action steps for actual healing? Again, I think you gotta meet people where they're at. Again, you talked about the uncertain times, like part of our, we have a mental health toolkit on Silencedashame.com, a number of things that you can do to honor the month

and to push resources out to the community. So one of the areas we're focusing on is fire and rescue, because, you know, we've seen all these natural disasters and things happening in the world. So we're pushing out resources that are targeted, you know, to the firefighters and the people that are out there on the front lines. Also, we did a toolkit for the federal workers, right? A lot of people that have been let go, I think maybe half of the people that got let go were due to the cuts within this administration. And so we want to talk directly to those that are suffering from a federal employee perspective, letting them know to establish a routine, even though you got let go.

Get your daily routine going, even if it's like looking for that next job, like establish a routine so you can protect your peace and practice mindfulness and reach out if you need support. So we're trying to target specific subgroups and people within the community. And so you just got to, you got gotta be forceful in a way about it so that we are unapologetic about healing and getting help that we need. But looking at specific groups of people.

Because we can all say we're all in this together, or mental health is important, we know we gotta take care of it. But when you talk directly at a specific group of people, I think that's when you start moving the needle and getting people to listen. Absolutely. Well how can people, if they wanna tap in

and they wanna hear more information or they wanna help, how can they get involved? First of all, visit our website, silenceofshame.com. Again, today is National Silence of Shame Day and we have a campaign, it's May 5th. We just want people to get $5. You know, the $5 I will say, if it's too difficult for you, please save your money, pay your rent,

you do whatever you gotta do. But if you can spare $5 or more, you can text the word SILENCE to 707070. Also understand that 9-8-8 is a free resources out there. We recently partnered with the City of Atlanta. Shout out to Mayor Dickens and Courtney English who came together with us and we're pushing 9-8-8 out to everybody that's in the City of Atlanta and beyond. And just really trying to make sure that we're pushing as88 out to everybody that's in the city of Atlanta and beyond. And just really trying to make sure that we're pushing as many resources to the community as possible.

So please support us, y'all. Talk about it. Don't just, if you're a young person and you listen to The Breakfast Club and you are going through something with a friend, talk about it. Don't just throw some foul stuff on social media about that person. Be the bigger person. You know, be unapologetic about healing and letting go of the things that don't serve you anymore.

Absolutely. And one more question Shanti. There's nobody that protects their peace more than Andre 3000. Do you think he's even gonna come to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? What's the under oval? Ceremony.

I say he gonna be there. I think he's coming. I will say I call both big Andre after you know, the announcement came out and Andre both of them were so excited. Dre was really excited. Okay. So we're gonna we're gonna keep hope alive. Ladies and gentlemen today is silence the shame day mental health awareness month of course we appreciate you for joining us. Thank you'all. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets in from somebody that knows somebody. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on it. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Oh, it's the latest. On The Breakfast Club.

Talk to me. All right, y'all. So Beyonce, y'all know how we have been talking about the Cowboy Carter tour. Well, she was just recently hit with a cease and desist lawsuit because according to the cease and desist, I'm sorry, she was just hit with a cease and desist because according to the letter, she used a image of the Sphere in Vegas. Yeah. And she wasn't supposed to according to the owners. So there is a man named James Dolan. He's the CEO of Sphere Entertainment. And he basically is saying that Beyonce at one point, because do you remember or anybody

remember when Beyonce was supposed to have that of Las Vegas residency? It's been rumored for a while. Yeah. And she was like in conversation and then they said that the conversations dropped, like they just didn't go anywhere. I never heard of that. Yeah, so it was supposed to happen. People were saying that it was rumor.

Then it was rumors that she was in conversations with the Sphere in Vegas to do it there, but it didn't work out. So basically she has this interlude video that she plays in the opening of one of her songs on the tour. And in that video, you see her walking. She's in Vegas.

She goes all these different places, but she's in Vegas in one of the scenes. She's walking past the Sphere. So fans, you know, they always try to put two and two together. Started tweeting as if this meant that she was letting people know that the residency was finalized and would be happening in Vegas. So the sphere, you know, their team, they're like, you can't use that. Like, you cannot allow your fans to think that something's going to go down here

that is not going to go down. They also pointed to the fact that there were other properties in this video that she allegedly got permission to use, but she had never gotten permission to just use that. It was such a quick shot to like the visual of the sphere. So since then, it's been reported based off of videos from people from the tour that she's changed that opening interlude and that that visual of the sphere is not in there anymore. But so was it creating like trouble or problems? Like, why was it such like it was causing a bother to them? It was causing confusion.

So according to a statement that, you know, the team on the opposing side released, their issue was that it was causing confusion amongst fans and amongst people who, you know, spend money at their business. So basically the fans were leaving a bunch of beehive emojis on Twitter and it was kid. And look, don't show the spear. Maybe that's what it was I'm not for sure but they wanted it down. It was a cease and desist though right? Yeah but a lot of people feel like this was a petty shot from their behalf from James Dolan and their team because when all of the rumors. You know who James Dolan is right? Yes isn't he like head of SEG?

He's the owner of the Squareicks. But that's SEG. Yeah, Knicks Rangers. Yeah, so, but people are saying that this was a petty shot from his side of things because when the Beyonce negotiations that we don't really know the full gist of, so you know, this is all alleged, when they've allegedly fell through, they're like, he's just upset that he couldn't get Beyonce

to do, you know, this residency at one of his venues. So they're doing any little thing to take a shot at her, that's how the fans feel. But I think as a business, I understand, they don't want the confusion, because anything with Beyonce, especially a Las Vegas residency, fans are gonna make news.

The hardest thing to do is discuss business with people who ain't got none. It's like, that just sounds like business to me. I don't, could've been petty, maybe, but it just sounds like business. It did sound a little petty because it was a promo. So I would figure that you would want the spare in your promo when she's walking through Vegas.

Because it's part of Vegas now, right? When you pull up in Vegas, that's the first thing you see when you're on the plane. So I figured that wouldn't be a problem, but I guess it was. Yeah. And she actually was given a deadline. I believe the deadline was actually today to change things. So according to the newly posted videos that has changed. But over the weekend, like her tour was the talk of the internet and it was because of

like just little mishaps that were happening. And I'm like, with the tour going so viral for all the good reasons you see in roomie, you see in blue Ivy come out and kill it. Blue has been what? Baby. Blue is Lil Beyoncé. She's the one. Hello. But there were a couple of things that happened on stage.

So there was one point where Beyoncé came out on stage and she couldn't find her mark. Like the X wasn't on the floor, which is really dangerous because she has this one scene in her tour where these two really big frames come down and swing around her. So she's not in the right mark. Just blow it up for people that hasn't been there yet

and are excited to see it. It's all over the internet. Oh, I haven't seen it. You saw it? By the way, I did not see that at all. It's all over the internet. I haven't seen it. By the way, I did not see that at all. It's all over the internet. I've never seen her nervous like that. She was literally looking around like, hold up, she is.

We never stopped singing, but she was scared. We also live in an era where people always look for the worst of the worst. They look for the negative, because the only thing I saw was Rumi and Blue and everybody giving them the audience. That's what I see in the performance. I loved them on the tour, but I think it was because not that people were talking about her or her performance It wasn't anything bad

It was more so we've never seen Beyonce like just not like you could tell she was like what the heck is going on Like why is this happening? Like she was visibly like confused. They just they forgot to put her mark down Yep, and she was looking at for it, but we didn't see Beyonce fall. We don't see the fan I'm talking about Tombo down the stairs What are you talking about? I feel like this these last, what was the last, Renaissance Tour? Renaissance Tour was even the couple of hiccups, there was a little hiccup on the Renaissance Tour, where she was on top of, I think it was that truck, but that came and went.

But this happened and then there was an issue with her glove, they were trying to put a glove on. She still a little hemin, that's the way you're saying it. She was very heministic thing. She was annoyed with that as well. But I don't know. I think it's all good press. Of course, you know, as of right now, her team has not responded at all to the reports of the cease and desist as they normally don't do.

So not surprising. Are you going to Cowboy Carter? I don't know if I plan to. I'd be down to go though. Okay. You going? I don't know. I might go.

There's so many tours going on. I know I'm going to go see Chris Brown. What's his birthday? Happy don't know. I might go. There's so many tours going on. I know who I'm going to go see. Chris Brown. What's his birthday? Happy birthday, Chris. And also Adele birthday and Craig David. Y'all remember Craig David? I do.
