Like how we talk about all the guys being named baby. We did. But she's not an artist though. She's an actress. We did remember Cash Doll came up here.

Oh, Dolls with the Hatch. Oh, he wasn't here when Cash Doll was up here talking about everybody's name of Doll and all that stuff. Yeah, we did. All right, well also, I ain't going to front. I'm tired. There was a lot of sports going on. We'll get on in front page news.

It's called Glocka Valley So we've been talking about those artists this morning. So let's get the show cracking. It's the breakfast club Come on in front page news is next morning. Everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club Let's get in some front page news

Start off with sports. I NBA playoffs the Knicks beat the Pistons last night 118 to 116 They lead the series to one Clippers Pistons last night 118 to 116 they lead the series 2-1 Clippers destroyed the Nuggets 117 to 83 they lead that series 2-1 and OKC beat the Grizzlies 114-108 they lead the series 3-0. Now last night the NFL draft number one pick from University of Miami Cam Ward went to the Tennessee Titans Travis Hunter he went to the Jacksonville Jaguars. That was a trade from Cleveland Browns. Traveling the Clues Bunk for Travis Hunter.

He'll be down there in Duval. That's right. Yeah, Lil Duval was happy about that one, man. I wonder if Travis Hunter gonna come to Duval there. But maybe his mom shouted out Lil Duval. I don't know if you seen it. I didn't see that. I saw that, but I mean, I saw people saying that,

but I didn't see it. I actually seen it She was like, yes, we become in a duvall my roots our roots from Florida and she was like, yeah Tell little Duvall will be on the on the boat with him I mean the plane that little will be on that little plane with him. Let's go Travis Do not get on that little ass play with Duvall. Okay, the Jacksonville Jaguars have Big big big jets. You don't need to get up net. Okay, that was a dope shout out And then the New York Giants picked Abdul Carter. He was from Penn State Big Brother He said he actually wants to wear Lawrence Taylor's

56 number so Taylor's Jersey retired it is retired But you can ask the family or ask the player if he's still alive. Can they still wear the jersey? No neighbors did that neighbors did that last year wearing the number one for the New York Giants. So you can ask. You can ask. Now, Shador Sanders was not selected in the first round of the NFL draft. They thought he would be probably the first to second quarterback pick and they knew he wasn't going to be the first because they knew Can Ward was going number one. But they thought he was probably going to be the second quarterback. But the Giants actually took Jackson Dart. He's from old Mississippi. I'm not sure why. I think Shador has a stronger arm than that young man.

I think Shador is quicker than that young man. But people have been saying that Shador not showing up for the combine. They've been saying his attitude was a problem. I don't know why but I think Shador should have went the second quarterback taking in my opinion. The attitude thing is just saying to me they're just scared of that man's confidence. They're scared of that man's high self-esteem. Okay, but that was instilled in him from his mother and father from day one. So yes, he's going to walk into the room with his head held high and he knows who he is.

If that scares you, then you're probably not the right fit for him. That's right. So we'll see where he goes in the second round. What's up, Mimi? What's up, y'all? Let's get into this front page news. So new details this morning in that massive New Jersey wildfire that's burned more than 15,000 acres. Now police say they have arrested a suspect.

Joseph Kling, a 19 year old from Weir Town is now facing aggravated arson charges. Investigators say the wildfire which began Tuesday morning in Ocean County was sparked by a bonfire that Kling allegedly set using wooden pallets. He's also accused of leaving the area before the fire was fully out. Now, authorities say they used GPS tracking technology to trace the fire's origin, which led them to Kling and his arrest. Now, he remains in custody at the Ocean County Jail and could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Crews are working to protect nearby homes and structures, but it continues to threaten at least four structures and it's still only about 50% contained. The fire is expected to keep burning for several more days, although there is rain in the forecast and it could help slow it down.

in the forecast and it could help slow it down. Meanwhile the smoke from the fire has triggered air quality alerts in New York City, Long Island and the lower Hudson Valley. Yeah it's very sad. I asked yesterday, I asked Brea yesterday because I wasn't, it's been a wet last couple of months it hasn't been dry so it was like I was like well where how would this fire start but now it makes sense so I hope that they get those fires contained this weekend Now what else we got? Absolutely a federal judge appointed by President Trump has ordered the administration to bring back a Venezuelan man who was deported After being granted asylum making him the second migrant a court order has what has ordered return in recent weeks

The man identified only as Christian in court documents was deported to El Salvador in March as part of that mass removal of over 250 individuals the Trump administration claimed were gang members. He was sent to the country's Seagot mega prison. His attorneys argue that his deportation was violated. It was a violation of a court settlement that protected him from removal. He came to the United States in 2022 as an unaccompanied minor. Now this ruling by a federal judge could set up another legal battle between Trump and the courts over immigration enforcement. In Christian's case, the judge ordered the Trump administration

to make a good faith request to El Salvador for his release and not to deport any more migrants covered under the same settlement. The administration argues that Christian's deportation was legal under the Aliens Enemy Act a wartime law from 1798. They say Christian was labeled a alien enemy therefore making him ineligible for asylum. That alien enemy is like getting people up out of here boy. It really is just snatching people up. And so would you have a baby

for five thousand dollars? That's the idea. The Trump administration is floating as the U.S. birth rate keeps falling. President Trump says he's open to the idea of giving moms a five thousand dollar baby bonus for every child they have.

This would happen after the baby's born. It's part of a larger push from his team and outside groups who encourage more Americans to get married and have children. Trump himself is leaning into the message, calling for more babies and referring to himself as a fertilization president. But everyone is sold on the view. Whoopi Goldberg had some strong words about the proposal.

Let's hear what she had to say. Let me talk about some of the things that the administration has slashed, which is why I am so not only insulted by that amount of money, because $5,000, yes, it sounds like a lot of money, but if you can't pay your rent, if you can't pay for your after school programs for your kids, everything this administration seems to be doing is telling people not to have children. Why not make sure that kids that we already have have a shot at good schooling? If you want people to have children,

you have to not scare them by cutting all these programs that they. She's absolutely right. Yeah. Can I put my tin foil? I wanna put my tin foil Poo Shiesty mask on for a second. You know, there was always these conversations about by 2040 white people wouldn't be the majority anymore.

And like they've been really afraid of the browning of America. So when you talk about, you know, Roe v Wade being overturned and all of these things like that, like there was always these conspiracies about they're doing that because they want to increase the amount of white people in this country. and all of these things like that. Like there was always these conspiracies about they're doing that because they want to increase the amount of white people in this country. I think this is all part of that. You're incentivizing people to have babies, but who exactly are you incentivizing to have more babies?

And I don't wanna say 5,000 is not a lot of money, but 5,000 is not a lot of money when it comes not a lot of money when you have a baby. No, not when you have when it's having a baby because if you think about it daycare is $200-$300 a week right? You still got to talk about food, you still got to talk about education later on, you still got to talk about clothes, you still got to talk about maintaining and having that care. You got formula, you got all this stuff that you need to buy.

Pampers, diapers, wipes, so that $5000 will go so fast so when it comes to raising a baby you need more than $5,000 Oh, yeah, yeah, you know five thousand is taxed at that so it's not even five thousand taxed Yeah, you're right, but don't you think for one second these people wouldn't take somebody baby gravy for $5,000 Crazy for free what are you talking about? There's people out there with no money right now. They like that's a come-up They're like way I gotta go had his baby. Huh, and if that's it cuz ain't cuz nobody says you gotta keep it. Yo, shut up Nobody said you got oh my that's a good point Give it up for... Oh, give... That's what I'm saying.

Wow. They about to go crazy, crazy this summer. What? You got 20 kids to just give them up? You're 5,000 up. You right? You talking about raising it. They say, no, we're giving you 5,000 to have it.

You right? Well, we're going to have to open up some orphanages together, y'all. Because, yeah. Y'all, see, y'all don't... What y'all think that Impossible Meat is? Impossible Meat? Not real meat. Oh, plants.

Plant meat? All right. What the hell are you talking about? Yo, no yo chill. But Trump owes me thirty thousand. I need my thirty thousand. I got six kids. I started early. Get it off your chest.

Get it off your chest. Hi, DJ Envy. It's really great to talk to you. Hi, Charlemagne. Is Jess there? Yes, Bobby. Good morning. Hi, Jess.

It's great to talk to all of you. I've been trying to call in a couple days to talk about the student loan situation. I've been in default with my student loans before. I'm about to be in default again. I'm in default just waiting the things to start back up again It's really messed up how the default process works you do the program to get out of default and Then it starts back up again with these huge payments that you can't make and you go back into default again

But what I really wanted to say was, CJ and me, you pointed out that if you're married and you file your income tax return, your spouse's worth anything they're getting back gets taken too. But actually, when I got married, there is a form that you can fill out called an injured spouse form.

And that stops them. It like separates the income. It allows you to like still file married filing jointly. And then it separates the income and figures out like what they would be getting back as they their part of the income so that they still get back their refund and just your part of the refund is taken for your student. So I just wanted to call in and like say that I mean this was like 10 years ago back in 2014

Did I fill it out that form? So unless things have changed since then but Back then there was an injured spouse form that you could fill out Yeah, okay, just wanted to make sure that people need to look into that. Thank you I don't you know, I didn't have an opportunity to fill out that form I just was doing my taxes and I thought my money was coming. All of a sudden it just didn't. But I wish I had known about that form.

But I've been out of college a little bit, just a little bit longer than I'm probably you. But okay, thank you for that information mama. Well, probably less actually. I've been out of college since 2000. Okay, but Envy was 40 years old in 2000. No, I was not, but what? But thank you for that information.

Anyhow, I also wanted to say I'm from Pittsburgh and I'm really excited to see you. Jess Hilarious is coming there and she's- Oh my God, girl. Hey. I'm trying to get a group of friends to get a VIP booth so I can come see you. That is what's up. Money's coming tight right now, but I'm trying to get it. I want to come see you so bad.

Alright, sit on the stage just as she got her Hello this this is a Chandler from Columbus how y'all doing this morning What up, well one for starters is my birthday, you know turn out turn out

Appreciate appreciate second off y'all better put respect on that Ole Miss quarterback Jackson Dart that boy is good and He did good against Georgia and Bama But it's a blessing in disguise because he got a sit behind Jamison Winston and Russell Wilson So Sadour might get picked up by Cleveland and he should be able to start again start in Cleveland So it's a blessing in disguise too I mean he's been a great quarterback for. Yeah. Yeah, I see jackson I mean he's he's been a a great quarterback for old miss. I know he'd be uh, elias record with passing I just like chador. I like the fact that he's a russian quarterback But like you said he wouldn't have started he would he would have been behind russ He would have been behind jason, but if he if the browns do pick him, he'll be a starter

So we'll see what happens. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I appreciate y'all. Y'all have a good weekend. You too, now. All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got the latest with Lauren coming up. You gonna break down all the Shador Sanders stuff? We do when we are,

because I don't know who the NFL Sean Humblemore, him, Shador Sanders, or D.O. Sanders, but they playing with him a little bit. A lot of it. You know what's crazy though? If you look at a lot of people's draft boards, they did have Shador going in the second round. Mel Kuyper was one of the main people that was pushing Shador as one of the top picks, but a lot of other scouts had him as a second

round pick. Yeah, but you know earlier in the season they had him going like top five. Yeah, but that was only like a couple people doing that. Like a lot of people at the end of the season, I think they said he missed sack 94 times the last couple of seasons. So they had a lot of questions about him. So, you know, him dropping to the second round is surprising, but it's not that surprising.

Who did your Cowboys pick by the way? I forgot the brother name. I was watching it last night too. He was very happy. I felt so sad for him. Todd Booker, Todd Booker. Todd Booker, yes. I felt so sad for him.

I'm like, this brother is so happy for no reason I'm gonna let y'all get all in all into it. Mm-hmm. All right latest. We'll get into that.

I started this show because unexpected change comes for all of us, and there's no set playbook for how to deal with it. I have all of this psychological baggage that I'm carrying with me, and the last thing I want to do

is to pass that on to my daughter. So I have to figure this out. This puzzle of my trauma, I have to figure it daughter. So I have to figure this out. This is this puzzle of my trauma. I have to figure it out and I have to figure it out now. Join me this season when I talk to Amanda Knox about her choice to reconnect with a prosecutor who helped put her behind bars. This is not about him. This is about me and what I am capable of giving. And I know that I am capable of being kind to this man. And by God, I am going to do it and no one can stop me. Listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. In the first round, and there were a lot of other congratulations that went down that we will get to, but the biggest conversation right now is the fact that Shador was not picked for any team. A lot of people expected him to be picked. I don't even follow football that closely. And I've heard so many conversations about whether he would or would not have got picked up yesterday.

So it was, it was an upset. And people are arguing back and forth that it is because of his confidence, it is because of his race mixed with his confidence, and the fact that he is Deion Sanders' son. And there's a point that people are, feel like that's trying to be proven here. I saw people saying that on social media,

and it might be some truth to that, but if you've been paying attention in recent weeks, people were saying his stock was dropping, but a lot of people were saying his stock should have never been that high. A lot of the mock draft boards I saw, except for probably Mel Kuyper, had him going in the second round. And I think Shador is a good quarterback. I enjoy watching him, but I'm not an NFL scout.

And I think a lot of us who aren't NFL scouts, we love the story of Shador being Deon Sun going to an HBCU, then going to Colorado and having success. So it's kind of like the Oscars. We root for a movie that we like and we saw, but we didn't see the rest of the movies to see if they were better. So we just shocked what we know didn't win. But not only that, like you said, he didn't go to the combine where people would actually see his times.

He tried out for particular teams. But also what a lot of people don't understand when it comes to football when they draft They draft for positions. They need right they automatically think it's like basketball when they just take the best player But if you are a team you might not need a quarterback you might need an offensive lineman You might need a wide receiver you might need a corner so they usually pick for the for what they need He was supposed to be the the second or third quarterback picked and the first one went to of course the Tennessee Titans which was Cam Ward. The next one went to the Giants which was Jackson Hart and he would be the third one

they say in the second round. But you know, they were having that conversation a long time ago. I'm telling you in recent weeks if you were listening to like a lot of the things that were coming out from NFL scouts they were questioning whether he had the physical capability, whether he was athletic enough, they were questioning his arm He had a question his arm, his athleticism. Could he beat tight coverages in the NFL? Was he athletic enough to escape pro fast rushers because he got sacked 94 times over the last couple of years? So that there were questions. Yeah no absolutely. Well Shador actually spoke

out yesterday during his you know how they have like their their setup yeah the draft parties to everybody in attendance let's take a listen to what he said we all didn't expect this of course but I feel like with God anything possible everything possible I don't feel like this happened you know for no reason all this is is of course fuel to the fire and in no circumstance we all know this thing to happen. But we understand we're on the bigger and better things. Tomorrow's the day. We're gonna be happy regardless. Legendary.

Woo! Woo! Yeah, he wasn't at the official NFL Draft. Yeah. He was at his own. He was at his crib. He did his own thing. Yeah, and I saw a lot of people in, cause Deon Sanders posted this as well.

I saw a lot of people like The Rock in the comments saying that, you know, he handled it very well. That's the way you respond to something like this. You know, one step, one small step, there'll be many more. And the second round of the draft goes down tonight. So, you know, people are going to be looking out. And I know Coach Sanders actually tweeted out, he said before the draft, he said, watch God show out tonight. The same God that has taken us from faith to faith, high school to high school, college to college, glory will continue to take us where we need to be and where he wants us to go.

We've already won, but that was prior to the draft. And then after I saw him getting back at some people that had some comments as well. I think Shaddow is going to be fine because of his confidence, because of his faith and because he's tough. And you know, there's a lot of people who saw him have success at Jackson State who probably thought he couldn't you know Be good at Colorado and he was good at Colorado. I think I think you're gonna be gonna be fine Yeah, I think it'd be fun the celebrity of him because I know I'm boxing the different sport But I feel like his celebrity and like his persona doesn't that lean into something too

Like wouldn't it be like a team would want to bring that definitely put asses in the seat to definitely sell a lot of jerseys But we'll see what happens in the second round. Second round in football is still great. Like people look at it, they picked 32 kids, 32 people I should say. It's still great to be in the second round. And congratulations to Travis Hunter who got drafted to the Jacksonville Jaguars. First round. Jacksonville what? Jacksonville Jaguars? Okay. What they used to tell you said Jaguars. I know people always say Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jaguars Jag He wrapped me up because I don't know how to say it. I'm insane like this for 33 years So we're saying it like that's quagmire's a brother quagmire Jaguar Jaguar Like the car, you know, what do you say?

Jaguar that's not a spell it Jesus gay G-u-a-r Yes, y'all his dad was in attendance. He was able to to watch him That was like a whole thing because his dad had not been able to see a bunch of things because he was locked up. He was incarcerated. Yeah, that was a big thing for him and the Jaguars. You gotta stop.

I don't know what else y'all want me to do. Pronounce the word correctly. That's all we want you to do. Do. Jaguar. Alright, well that was the latest with Lauren. Now when we come back we got front page news and then Coco Jones will be joining us. Her new album, Why Not More, is out today.

So don't go anywhere, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now NBA Playoffs. The Clippers beat the Nuggets last night 117-83. They lead the series 2-1. The Knicks beat the Pistons 118-116. We lead the series 2-1. And the Grizzly lost to the Thunder. OKC leads that series 3-0. What up

Mimi? What up y'all? All right. So federal prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangiani if he's convicted of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a move ordered by the Trump administration as part of his push to reinstate the capital punishment. Now, the announcement came just hours before Mangione was scheduled for an arraignment in federal court. He faces a four count indictment, including a charge of murder with with a firearm which qualifies as a death eligible offense. Mangione is expected to plead not guilty. In a formal notice to the court, prosecutors said the decision was based on the impact of Thompson's death on his family, his colleagues, and the broader community. They also alleged that Mangione carried out the killing as a political statement aiming to incite resistance against the healthcare industry. Now during one of

Mangiani's first court appearances his attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo, I think that's how you say your name, she feared this exact retaliation from the Trump administration. Here's what she had to say at the time. The second thing I want to make a record of your, is I'm very concerned about my client's right to a fair trial in this case. He's being prejudiced by some statements that are being made by government officials. Now, she's referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi, who at the beginning of this case said that she intended to seek the death penalty defense lawyers called the decision barbaric

and accused the Trump administration of using this case as a political stunt. In addition to the federal charges, he's also facing state charges in Pennsylvania, including carrying a fake ID and carrying a gun without a license. And in other front page news, the Trump administration has started selling new Trump 2028 hats. I've seen it. That's wild. On his website, yes, sparking renewed speculation about whether the Trump is actively eyeing a third run for the White House, even though the Constitution prohibits it. The red Trump 2028 hats, they go for $50, while matching t-shirts with the slogan, Rewrite the Rules, are listed at $36.

The merch drop has already been raising eyebrows and fueling debate in a comment to NBC News. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, she shrugged off the concerns, though, calling it a cool hat and predicting that it would be really popular. Now, to be clear, the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution clearly states

that no one can be elected more than twice. Trump was elected in 2016 and again in 2014, which would make him ineligible for a 20, 28 run. I think the current law, anybody who supports that, you know, you're not a Patriot. Anybody who supports that, that, that is like so un-American, like you just wipe in your ass with, with the constitution and the fact that people are having that

conversation, like it's normal Like I know smart people who are saying things like well if he runs in 2028 then Barack Obama can run in 2028 your idiots because if Donald Trump runs in 2028 the fight is absolutely fixed whatever election will that will happen will be all for show just like they do in Russia Absolutely Absolutely. So okay quick switching gears a little bit. Jess, quick question. When do you start to panic about your phone battery?

Like what percentage makes you start looking for a charger? Honestly, none, because I hate being on the phone. Really? But if I'm in the house, I ain't gonna lie, if I'm in the house, yeah, I don't be having my phone on me like that. And I know that's probably hard to believe, but if I'm outside, like 30, I don't really like to let it get too low. Yeah when I'm out to me is that 10% when I hit that 10%

Oh, man, why are you letting your phone with six children? You letting your phone get down to 10% I know What about you Charlemagne? What's your what's your number when it get in the red when I get that notification that says? What is it low power mode? That's 20%. That's 20-90%. Yeah, so it'll be red, but then you hit it, then it get a yellow a little bit. That's why I be like, aw, shucks.

Aw, shucks. Yeah. Well, according to a new survey, 38% of Americans, 38 is the official number for most Americans, and that's when most people start to feel the stress of their phone dying. The younger you are, the more battery stress you have. So Gen Zs, they start to worry at about 44% Millennials at about 43%. Gen X and Boomers, they start to panic between 34% and 38%. But the real debate, Envy, is not just when you panic, but it's how you monitor. So do you are you that little battery icon? Do you need to see the percentage next to it or you just look at the icon?

Just good for you now I look at the battery and then I click it to see how my percentage is like and reason I really worry is because Everything's on phone. I don't have a car is for my phone Yeah to get in the crib is the phone the lights a phone the AC everything is the phone So once that dies, it's done. That's why it dies so quick though, because you got all them apps. Yep. Yep.

You got to close those apps. So it turns out there's 61% of people who say they got to have that percentage on their screen. The survey was conducted by talker research and it found that 34% of people say they're comfortable letting their battery drop. 20% say they need to find a charger if it gets below 10% I think who said that was that you? Charlotte I said it gets below 10% you need a charger

So you are with most Americans who feel like that's when they they head for getting a charger So that's me too. I need a charger when my phone gets under 10% And that's why I've been one of the biggest fights in my house. Like everybody takes a charger. Like you put a charger somewhere and then your kid will take a charger and your wife will take a charger and the charger's not there or they take the charger out your car.

That's probably the biggest fight in my household. Absolutely. All right y'all, well that's your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me on social at Mimi Brown TV.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club

Morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlemagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club, Lauren LaRosa is here, and we got a special guest in the building. Yes indeed. Coco Jones, welcome. Hiya. How you feeling?

I'm good, nice to see you again. Coco got a new album. I'm excited. It's your debut album. My first album ever, yeah. Why not more? I'm gonna tell you right now, Def Jam, I don't care about you.

Oh, Jesus Christ. And I'm gonna tell you why. I'm gonna tell you why. They sent your album this morning. And I said no, we should cancel the interview because it's not fair to you as an artist and it's not fair to us as hosts. Because you're sitting here now and then you know people will be in your face talking to you about everything except for your music and people will wonder why. Why are they always just focused on the mess? Why are they talking about everything but their music? It's because

your label didn't send it until this morning. We're doing a show. Who got time to listen to the album? I hear you. So yes, that's the reason why. That was the hold up. So I don't know what the label told you, but that was the reason I was like, you know what, let's cancel the interview. Dang. So you still want to do it? Yeah, we're doing it now. But I just like that. Lauren did a crash listening to that album. Well, maybe that's why I was rushing for these papers, okay?

Because I am a fan, I do feel like you deserve your moment, but it went down how he said it went down. Yes, I didn't get a chance to listen to it, and everyone was like, I ain't listen to it, I'm not gonna do it like that. And he didn't say cancel, he said reschedule. He didn't just say cancel you, he was like, we should reschedule it,

because that's not fair to either party. It's not, I don't think it's fair to you at all. I mean, I hear what you're saying. I definitely feel like I would want y'all to hear it if y'all would want to ask me questions about it. I also know though, like, there's only, I only got the right now, you know, I'm going on tour right after I dropped this album. So I do want to still talk about it and I can still, I can share what I know and y'all

can listen to it when you get to listen to it. Okay. But also I love my labels. They do have my name. I feel I gotta speak for my team. They need to do better by you. I'm not gonna let you just say that. They missed an album till this morning.

Okay, well. And this is a radio station. I gotta say. You're an artist. I love my label, they be doing right by me. But she only doing what I would do if somebody talk about one of y'all. I'd be like, what I'm feeling good I'm

feeling good I'm happy to be here debut album yeah but like you've been I feel like your music has been so big but this is your technical like first album Yeah, it is my first album ever. It's just weird though because I feel like on one side I feel like like deja vu in a way, but on the other side, I'm like, okay, technically I have never put out an album. So I've been it's like weird to say that like an album I've been used to saying EP which is different. What is the difference? What do you think the difference is between an EP and an actual album? I think honestly the weight that they hold.

I mean an EP is like a feeler, it's a little safer, it's a little like less serious. And then an album is like, you know, it's a chapter. You really respect it as an entire project. And then there's like a way more serious like rollout and there's way more intentions behind it. I feel like with my EP, there were no expectations. And now with my album, I have so many expectations, me, myself, and then of course, like the world.

And that's why the label should send it to people, especially radio stations before they do interviews. Lauren, you say what you say before Coco walked in. You better keep that same energy. No, no, I have the, first of all, I said it all in love, so it's gonna be said. But I'm making sure Jess has the album Research that we had because I do want to talk about it because what I feel like happens with you is

You have these big moments like I see you and when those things drop It's everything Coco Jones and we as fans feel like you are such a prize to R&B and what you do you deserve that? Consistently, but then when things like today happen like if I didn't push we wouldn't be doing this and you deserve that moment it's unfair to you and I think that that's sometimes why as a fan we feel like your music like suffers like we have to like search for more than just like the clicky stuff and you know like even in listening to the music I was happy we got to listen to it even though I only got five songs because I could even feel in your music this is different because to me it's like you're more into yourself there's a lot more

like sexual conversation of you're a woman, you're here. And I know that that's what you want people to see you as because you've worked so hard. I don't think sometimes that the way that things appear to us as fans that they're set up, you get that. And I don't think it's fair to you. That's what I said before you came in here. I could definitely understand that perspective. I feel like also though like there's just so much out every freaking day, you know So in general, it's like who has the real formula to put everyone's eyes on that one thing Yeah all the time. If so, then everyone would copy that and then that would be a wash You know what I'm saying? So I'm like there really is no formula

I can understand that but I'm like I don't even know what to tell people to do the people that I'm seeing They're doing what they supposed to do because I'm looking at you right there. I'm seeing you doing the things, you know, and I'm doing everything that I'm told to do. So it's like, there's no real formula for that. It's how you look at it. And I love the way that you look at it because it's a lot that you have to offer.

You're an actress, you're an artist. And speaking of how we look at things, taste the visual. What made you step out and be like that I've never seen you yeah like that now you're always sexy always you know what I mean but you've never ever popped out like that the visual for taste yeah what made you say I'm gonna just give them a lot more sexy than I've ever given before yeah she was very much giving baby the time is now. That's what I'm saying. I never even knew that she could dance like that. Honestly. Pink, pink.

What was it? Clocky. Clocky boy. Oh my god. Clocky. Excuse me, I'm fake. What ignited that Coco Jones fire? What was that?

Well, first of all, I mean the song itself is sexy. But I think for me, I want people to already know like, hey, she does multiple different sides of her. Like, of course I can do like the belting and I'm in my feelings and I'm going there and it's vocals and it's all of that. But like, I don't want to do a whole show of that. You know, that's just not how I authentically feel right now. I mean, I'm 27. I have other sides to me the way I talk with my girls, the way I talk when I'm mad. Like, I want to be able to show those different sides too. So I feel like, when do I do that?

It would have to be now, you know what I'm saying? To like, get people warmed up to different versions of me. And honestly, when I made Taste, my album was already done. It was supposed to be out in October, and then it just wasn't flowing right. So we, you know, pushed it back. And so I kind of had no, I guess, expectations that I put on myself

Yeah, and I was kind of like I did my part So like I'm just gonna have fun and then that led to taste which to me it was just so fun And it was freeing and it was scary. So I just I just wanted to do it What was it Def Jam you had the album since October? Where is the grace in the room? Where is it? Where is it? Listen, I just want the best for Coco Jones.

Thank you. You said that they're doing good things for you. I'm just simply saying why not more? Okay, well you ate that part. That's all I'm saying. You ate that part because that's all I'm saying. That was the album. But anyway, so a version of it was done in October, but a lot of it changed.

A lot of it changed, like me. I mean, taste happened because there was no, you know, there was no expectation. And it was scary because I was going to get mixed reactions. I knew that. Like some people were going to be like, you're this girl, you're the same girl, don't dance, don't do that, don't be sexy. You know what I'm saying? And then other people were going to live for it. So I kind of just had to be okay with that because I feel like what am I supposed to do? You know, it's my life too. And I'm still a developing artist. These are the things I want to do and try. And maybe one day I'll look back. I mean, I probably will look back at some of the things

that I did and be like, but like, give me the time. You know what I mean? It's crazy though. You keep it, I mean, not to be like funny, you keep it tasteful when you do. Absolutely. Even taste was tasteful. Yeah.

And it was the nod to Britney Spears. Well, actually though, that was a, it was cut down and down and down. I really did, I'm gonna say I really did try a lot of things because I wanted to see what they look like on myself Because also like I don't know how I feel doing something until I try it Mm-hmm So either I could live with like the regret and the fear of like I didn't I don't even want to push it like that Or I could try things and luckily I have a team who's like try it, you know

They'll help me facilitate figuring out who I am all the way and so I did do way more than that's in that video. It just wasn't sitting right. Is that why so the timeline he talked about October till when we getting it now that's why things have been like changing and that's why we got the stuff ladies because everything was changing. No the songs changed from October some of them changed some of them changed from October to now the album coming out but taste the video I was just saying. The edits of it. It got chopped and screwed a lot. Because I wasn't feeling some of the ways that I looked. I wasn't feeling it for myself. It didn't feel like me. Some of it felt like me trying to do something versus

some of it felt like me being me. And I just kept what was like a green light in my spirit You know, I we have more with Coco Jones when we come back. It's the breakfast club. Good morning And the Jess hilarious Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club along the roses here as well We're still kicking it with Coco Jones and that was taste Jess Now is Coco and taste is that like happy in a relationship Coco or like oh, I'm getting I'm getting done, right Coco, I think I'm saying or is that just just a side of you that we have not seen that you just you know I think it's just I'm grown and you know me and my girls we talk like this like when we Flirty like when we're sensual like we grow you know I'm saying like music is all of the things it's in love

It's late night. It like music is all of the things it's in love it's late night it's anger it's all of the emotions so I wanted to in this album I wanted to try to show all the different sides of me and really just learn like learn for myself how did that how did that make me feel how did the video make me feel how did the responses being on tour and seeing what people like and what they don't like it all kind of is like lights up in my brain like okay now I know that like I feel like it highlights things and then I'm like oh that's what I like oh that's what I should be doing more of you know what I'm saying like yeah so first of all when you talk about

relationships you're glowing instantly we have taste so you talk somebody's leaving a legacy on your lips when they kiss you then you got a e o m g andM-G. And maybe. What's the A-E sample? American Eagle. It's just like, it's the. American Eagle. No. For real? It's just like. It was just something to say.

Yeah, it's just like the sounds when you're feeling good and when you're in the midst of all of the things. You got that one. Girl, you got the song where Africa, Here We Go, is that the song where you talk about you trying to get over somebody, but they won't leave you alone because you let, but you laid up with your new boo.

Mm-hmm. You've been talking about being happy in these interviews and the people are saying that it's Donovan Mitchell. Is this your bae, what's happening? I'm happy and that's all I gotta say about it. I mean, people already know, so y'all know. Okay, so it is. And the music gives happy, so I'm happy for you.

Donovan Mitchell, the basketball player? Yes. No, the n**** who sell houses. I don't know what the hell else. I didn't know that. Hey, I'm crying, but no, I talk about as much houses. Yeah! I don't know what the hell else. I didn't know that. Hey, I'm crying. But no, I talk about as much as I feel like I want to talk about because I'm just not, I'm not the type to be giving out all of my details.

That's just not my truth. I give as much as I can and I give my everything when it comes to this music. So I'm like, yeah, I'm happy. And yeah, y'all know what it is. Can I ask you about this line from Here We Go? Because I'm old, I don't know what this means. Why it's gotta be your way, I want happy, and yeah, y'all know what it is. Can I ask you about this line from Here We Go? Because I'm old, I don't know what this mean. Why has gotta be your way, I want it to be mine, what you think this is for play must be out your mind.

Like I was basically saying, when you're playing with somebody's emotions when you in and out of their life, do you feel like that's funny or hot, or are you into that? Like what's wrong with you, you know what I'm saying? Okay, okay, okay, okay. So, okay, so you, because you used the word for place,

but you're talking about, I get what you're saying. Like, are you thinking you flirt with me when you're playing with my life, when you're playing in my face? Like, do you think I like that? Because in the song, she's like, yo, I'm happy over here, I like where I'm at, but you just, you pop up in my likes,

you showing up places, like, you think that this is like, this is it, like that, no, leave me alone. But he's not leaving her alone. And those guys be kind of low key having a little hold, even though they shouldn't. What guys? Like the guys, so if you're moved on and you're trying to-

For you? No, just in general. Why is she bothering you? I feel like everybody that person that you know can always slide back. He's a weird. Trust me, not Lauren. He's an actor. It's okay.

You're right, I don't have that because I'm disconnected from anything toxic and I'm moving into my glory and my happiness. Wow. I love that phrase. AKA, I'm single, nobody wants me. Okay. You know what. No one wants me. So foul. No, I know they be in your phone. Thank you. Just be blocking. No, no, no, no. They he won. I was the one. Oh, now is one.

So that was what? Where are we going with this? Wow. When did it turn into one? Anyway, I got a question. Thank you, because I read that word. Why, why not more? What did you, did you come up with that title? Okay, so it's one of the songs that is on the album.

It's actually featuring YG Marley and it's really dope. It's like an island vibe. And I really love that title because I felt like that's what I kept asking myself, why would I hold back? Why wouldn't I do the things that I feel like I really wanna do? And I feel like all the answers were rooted in fear, like oh they might not like it or it might not work. And I'm like, I would rather just try things

and be able to learn from them than not try and wonder what would have happened if. So that kinda led to Why Not More being the album name. But also I feel like it was a little less serious. Like it was between Why Not More or like self-titled, Cocoa, whatever. But I'm like, I don't even know if I fully know Cocoa yet myself.

So I don't know if that's my truest, truest, truest truth to name my album that. I feel like Why Not More resonated with me more because I ask myself a lot of questions. I ask my team a lot of questions. I'm very curious and I'm still like trying to figure it out. I love that because it feels like, you know, you give your all to everything you do. So when you give your all, but Def Jam doesn't,

how does that make you feel? Why are you still on that? You know what? What? Why? I'm just asking. I just want something from the store. This is crazy.

It is crazy. Oh, my God. I'm like, here's what I really feel. I really feel. I really feel like it takes a lot of effort and time to make an artist work and for a developing artist. And I feel like what I really want people to do is to look at me with the perspective of like, I'm not trying to do like the trending here today and I'm gone type thing.

I'm trying to make things that are timeless, but that takes time and that takes effort. And I feel like I have a team that does a lot for me and has effort for me. Like I wouldn't be up here saying that if that wasn't my truth. You know what I'm saying? Well, they dropped the ball this morning. And at a crucial time like this, they shouldn't be doing that. That's all I'm saying. So when would you prefer to listen to it?

A week ago. You were on the schedule a week ago. We should have been at the album. We should have marinated with the album for a while to really be able to have a conversation. I think albums are different than movies. I don't like to watch movies before I have conversations with people about their movies

because you don't want to spoil it, but I think albums are different. Okay, well I got five singles out. Did you listen to them? I listened to the, They been out. You listen to the here. When you let me hear this morning,

Taste, and it was another one. What was the one you let me hear this morning? Here I go. Here we go. Taste. He need to hear that ae-omg so he know Yeah, he said American Eagle oh my god What does that mean for real though OMG so basically it's just like a freaky song and it's like legs on the legs on the ceiling got me like

MG like it's just something to say. It's just I know what the OMG is. But what is the AE? It was like, you know, we say your bowels AE I oh you Like she is just yeah, yeah, we were just having fun doing it right I never made nobody scream about We were just having fun writing it. I ain't doing it right. I ain't never made nobody scream no vowels. Look at that guy. Why do you show the fan out? I can't do that.

I can't with that. But no, I'm really excited. You can listen to the album. And I'm curious to hear your thoughts next time I see you. Absolutely. I love how you defend your team. I love how you speak up for your team. And I love the fact that your mom has been by your side through all this.

Is she your manager? No, my mom's not my manager. She was for the time when there was nobody, you know, but I feel like now my mom is more like my wife's counsel. Love that. Yeah, she was definitely like that. Make sure to tell her, make sure to tell her, make sure to tell Def Jam.

Make sure to tell your mom about Def Jam. She's gonna watch this. She's gonna watch this, she's probably gonna be in your DM. Definitely. She's gonna say thank you. Okay. What were your earliest memories of wanting to be who you are now? Was that your dream or did somebody instill that dream in you?

It was definitely me. Like even when I look at little kid videos of me, like I would be like not even fully forming sentences, but I would be singing though. And they'd be like, sing. And I'd be like, yes, I would love to sing. So it was always me. I didn't think that like it could be a tangible job though Like I knew sports was a real job because my dad played in the NFL. So I was like, okay

This is a real job. This can actually be something you do But I didn't know music could be something you really do I saw it on TV and and I thought you know, those people are doing that but it wasn't until like my mom Introduced me to the opportunities that I was like, you can try to do this yourself. Like it's something I could do. And then I was like, there was no stopping me. Yo K-pop fans, it's your boy Bom Han and I'm bringing you something epic. Introducing the K-Factor.

I'm also going to be on Perreo to speak with music innovators like Raina, who is known for her media rockera tracks and collaborating with artists like Bad Bonnie.

I started this show because unexpected change comes for all of us, and there's no set playbook for how to deal with it. I have all of this psychological baggage that I'm carrying with me, and the last thing I want to do is to pass that on to my daughter. So I have to figure this out.

This puzzle of my trauma, I have to figure it out, and I have to figure it out now. Join me this season when I talk to Amanda Knox about her choice to reconnect with the prosecutor who helped put her behind bars. This is not about him. This is about me and what I am capable of giving. And I know that I am capable of being kind to this man.

And by God, I am going to do it and no one can stop me. Listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Then you also had absences because you got into acting as well. Yeah, yeah. So which bug do you think, you know, I guess infected you the most?

Music. Definitely music. Yeah. I respect acting because it's definitely outside of my comfort zone and it's stories that are like outside of me. And you do it well. Thank you, thank you.

But I think music is like, it's just like home to me. It just feels safe. So that was your first love of an acting? Yeah, absolutely. Are you looking forward to more film though? Oh yes, I literally went to South Africa this year to do a film and I really think it's gonna be dope. Ideally, I would love to be able to do both every year.

I think that's really cool when artists can do that. So I wanna try to keep that up. Alright we have more with Coco Jones when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here as well. We're still kicking it with R&B singer and actress Coco Jones. Her new album Why Not More is out now. Jess? Did you see that viral video of you? And the reason why I asked if you see it, because a lot of people don't be seeing stuff

for themselves. Like just because it hits blogs don't mean you see it. But this is why I was so shocked when I saw it taste, because it was a video a couple weeks ago that I saw that went viral. And it was you rehearsing. But she was looking like, I ain't doing all that. So, but, cause they was like gyrating on each other, I guess. Your choreographer or whoever was displaying

what they wanted you to do. And you were looking at it like, uh-uh, your face was like, I'm not, I'm not doing it. No, I was so scared. It was, okay, so he was throwing her up in the air. Yes. And I'm tall, but I don't like heights that I can't, that ain't my choice, you know?

So that's why I was looking scared as hell. But I was proud of myself. I told the choreographer at Lee, I said, do what you would do, not what you think I can do. And let me see what happens after that. If it's too hard, I'm gonna tell you, girlie. And some of it was just too hard. But I was proud of myself for trying it.

I was literally in a hoop. I had an aerialist come and teach me how to be in a hoop for one part of the video. I really was proud of myself. I went outside my comfort zone. I was living for it. Yeah. You talked about earlier the moment you said when people weren't checking for you, it was like when you're in between your Disney and your next song and stuff of that nature.

And I watched the interview where you were saying that you were almost embarrassed to go out and get a job at certain points and things of that nature. Because people were virally saying things about where you've been and stuff, how do you deal with those moments when you're viral but it's like for stuff that you don't care to be viral for now that you know yourself a bit but you're still figuring yourself out? I'm like the internet isn't real.

I'm like, what is this place? It's not even like for real. What's real is the people that I tend to be talked to who know me, you know? So I'm like, this is so not real. So if something is going viral, I mean, I might get a little summer drop, like, because I'm like used to people talking about my music only.

And so anything else is like, it's still new to me that people care about what I got going on personally. I'm like, y'all care about that? Okay. How can we talk about your music? That's not your fault though. Let's talk about Def Jam. Continue.

Anyway, I really don't take it seriously because I feel like people's attention span is so short, it'll be important today, gone tomorrow. Yeah, if you don't talk about it. That's why I had to ask you, did you see the video I'm talking about? Because I know a lot of people will be so far removed from social media and the internet.

It's not a real place. It's a whole bunch of people who just say shit and just because they feel like they can have a voice now. It's like, all right, cool. I see why you're gonna be on there. And I also feel like even when people are talking, I'm like, they're still talking. I'm like, go stream that record if you're upset

about something, go stream it. The algorithm doesn't know the difference. I know, that's right. I'm not mad. I'm not blocking nobody. If you wanna talk, keep it on. I need them to know that you're active on this page. Go ahead.

You probably can't wait to write a song about this. Him getting on your nerves all day today. Oh yeah, please. I can't wait to write a song about this. Him getting on your nerves all day today. Oh, yeah, please. I am here for Coco. Coco was born in South Carolina. She was raised in Tennessee, but she got that South Carolina in her. So I just want her to always be getting done right at all times. You feel that?

You feel people sting you? I know when they're sting you. Sting? Oh, yeah. Yes, girl. Yes. I thought you said sting. No, sting you. Like when something happens.

I don't think it's a Disney, cause sometimes they do that with certain child actors and child stars, but I think it's just because we feel that you really care about your work. Yeah. So when anything else happens, like when the SZA, the Shannon Sharp question about SZA's DBL and then SZA commented, the world was,

it was a stan thing, it was like, this was not for Coco. And then SZA came out and said, no, why would that be a Coco Jones question? I love SZA, I was like, this was not for Coco. And then SZA came out and said, now why would that be a Coco Jones question? I love SZA. I was like, I was really caught off guard by that. But no, I do feel the energy. And people tell me all the time, when I see them, they're like, we're so proud of you.

Like we're rude if you're on my, thank you. I'm like, thank you. I don't really know how to feel because for such a long time, I was like, you in your brain are like, nobody cares. Nobody cares. Really? And then to see, trust trust me it was giving desert island it's because you had highs and lows yeah that's what I said my earlier cuz when

you when you when the low hit you were out the way you weren't doing much anything and you had to come on the internet. God damn Lauren. No that's real. She's talked about this publicly. I'd literally have said that. Yeah she had to go online and talk about it. I did a whole video about this, yes. Okay. People who know, know. No, she do that to people. I ain't gonna tell you what she said to Johnathan Majors. That was crazy. It was not shade. That was really, really popularized. No, it's because I'm locked into your journey

and I appreciated your journey because you talked about, yo, this is what's really happening right now, even though I don't wanna tell y'all. And that's why I think we like lock in with you because we can identify the ups and downs in it real. And you gotta fight to come back. And when you come back, there's always good music. Facts.

And I do appreciate that. I really, really do. I do feel the love. And I wanna like give something good in return for the people who care and support me. I wanna give something good. So I'm glad that like y'all know that I really, really care about my stuff for real.

I'm trying to make stuff that lasts. But yeah, I love what I do. And I would do it all again, even though it was so uncomfortable at that point for this payoff and for also to inspire the next girl, like, take it easy on yourself. Have some grace. It don't mean it's you. Sometimes they just don't know. You know? What point did you get to that point where you was like, yo bro, I'm doing everything I can do. Mmm, I feel like that's always kind of where I was at.

I couldn't stop doing like what I loved because it was still so important to me. But I think when I told, when I did that video about everything that happened, I was like, this might be the last thing I ever do. So I'm just keeping real. I'm just keeping real. I don't know what's gonna go after this.

But yeah, I feel like that was always my truth. Like I'm giving it everything I got, so I can live with that. And with that. Yeah, it's just life. In life, if you really believe in God, you gotta respect the process. Real. Period.

Real. I don't even believe in so-called good or bad. I just believe everything is part of one long process. Yeah. Whatever I'm going through, this is what God want me to go through. I completely agree with that. And I think there's a certain amount of faith too,

that like, if you know it's on the way, how would you move? That's right. And so sometimes I would post that cover, ooh, delete the app because I knew the engagement was so low, but if it was on the way, how would I move? I would still do this. I would still put my voice out there. I would still write songs. I would still do videos.

I would still do it. I would still go to auditions if I knew it was on the way. Me and my best friend would talk about this all the time because we was both going through it at the same time. We actually met on set, me and my best friend. We met on that Disney Channel show when we were like 14. Who's your best friend? Jaylen.

Her name is Jaylen Brand. She's an amazing actress. You check her out, period. She's on a lot of shows and she does her big one. Oh, I know that's probably your best friend. I would never do my best friend like that because she a clown. Your best friend that I met? No, no, no.

Joe Ishii. That's the gay one. She got on my nerves. Yeah know, I know. You're the best friend that I've met. I'm just like, I'm like Joey Shumah. Yeah, that's the game. She got my nerves. Yeah, that's child. No, I'm crying. It's all right. I'm crying. Are we getting a season four of Bellaire or you can't talk about it?

I can talk about it. We're doing the season four. Actually, while I'm on tour, I'll be filming some of it. I'm going to come back to do my episodes, but it'll be the fourth and final season. But I think it's good that we know it'll be the final season so we can do everything with the intention of like, okay, let's put a bow on it. And I'm really excited.

I think we've done something great that we, it's a blessing to keep people's attention for more than a one season, more than one episode. So I'm proud of what we've done and I hope it inspires more black TV shows that represent us and and show networks like this is profitable. Yeah, so keep it up. I'm happy for us. Are you happy? Yeah, okay. I am at us. I am happy. Okay, Coco Jones Why not more is available everywhere you get your music now. Do you want people to buy it screaming? I don't even know how to I want people to buy you. Okay. I'm sorry

But if you go to you need to buy that cuz look the album equivalent units You know what I'm saying? You know Just buy it. I love a stream. Go ahead and shame if you're gonna stream it But if you want to do anything by by the album, you're right much continued success Coco. Thank you I appreciate you get the tickets for that tour. Yeah May 6. Thank you tickets for that tour. May 6th. Thank you. You can go on the real Coco Jones dot com and get my ticket. All right it's Coco Jones the Breakfast Club. It's the world's most dangerous morning show the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne the God, Jess Hilarious, DJ Envy, Lauren LaRosa and it's time

for the latest. Lauren be coming with straight facts. gets in from somebody that knows somebody. She gets to details. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest. On the Breakfast Club. No, I was thinking about something, bro.

Never mind. No, Jess thought that Mike Jones the rapper was Coco Jones' daddy. No, I didn't. Yo, I didn't. Did you think that for real? No, he told me that our father was Eddie Jones. I was like, what? Oh, all right.

Who's Eddie Jones? He was like, no, no, Mike Jones. I'm like, Mike Jones was our father. What? You stupid. You are stupid. try it, yo. Well, completely left turn. I'm sorry, what you got, Lauren?

I thought that was pretty funny. Shannon Sharp has finally stepped away from ESPN. And I say finally because the people have been- I was ready to say, why you say finally, yo? Because the people have been trying to figure out what was gonna happen. So when I say finally, I more so mean like, now we have an answer to what's about to happen with him in esp And so he came out with a statement yesterday. Shannon sharp posted this statement saying

His statement is set is found here. He says this is the truth The relationship is in question was 100% consensual at this juncture. I'm electing to step aside temporarily from my esp and duties I'll be devoting this time to my family and responding to dealing with these allegations that are false and disruptive that are set against me. I plan to return to ESPN at the start of the NFL preseason. I sincerely appreciate the overwhelming and ongoing support I have received from my family, friends, fans, and colleagues." Shannon Sharp.

So there it is. He decided to step away. I think it's a lot of attention thrown the network's way. You know what I find interesting about that whole statement situation? What? ESPN hasn't released one yet. Okay, Shannon's plan may not be ESPN's plan, but we shall soon see.

Oh, ESPN didn't say nothing? Nope. ESPN hasn't said anything yet. That's been another thing. The only thing that close to what ESPN is saying was what we were told from Stephen A Smith from the one of the presidents at ESPN yeah I'll be honest I don't I don't like things like this right and I'm gonna tell you why right I understand it's a lot of noise there's a lot of people talking but that's what the opposition wants that's what they want they want you to be embarrassed they want you to start losing money they

want you to start doing that so they feel like they get you will settle out and you'll be forced to settle out Now if he really didn't do it and this was part of his kinky thing and it was what it was and he didn't Do it and he's innocent and the fact that he has to step away now Possibly losing his job if he has bills and not having bills because now he has no work I don't like that if he didn't do it because that's what they want him to do. They want him to be embarrassed. They want him to feel away because what's going to happen, he's going to be like, you know what? F all this. Let me just settle out on the side. That's what they're forcing him to do. Really. I'm sure Disney still has moral clauses though. Like, you know, regardless of, you know, anything,

I don't know if anything he did was criminal, but there's still moral clauses. But when you talk about moral clauses, right? I can do it out and I'm not, I don't know if anything he did was criminal, but there's still moral clauses. But when you talk about moral clauses, right? I can do it out, and I'm not, I don't know what happened, we don't know, but from the outside, I can do what I want to do in my bedroom. Yes. Right? What I do in my bedroom is my business. But once somebody-

And I didn't put it out. I didn't film it and put it out. If somebody secretly take me and put it out, I just think that's wrong. You can't do that. It's not black and white like that though. For time out, I think you're missing something. There's an audio phone call of him saying that he was going to choke her. Now, whether or not that was role playing or not, it's perceived as a video. It's a Shannon Sharpe saying he's going to choke this 19-year-old girl, however old she is. Right.

So that is enough to say, hey, you know what? You need to sit down for a while. But is it if it's a tape secret call and it is role playing? Let's just say, and I don't know, but we don't know. He's saying his role playing. She's saying it's not right. But if it is, and it's secretly taped, and this is my secret business. If I'm into BD, what is it BDSM? What is it called? Yeah, but all that has to come out though and be like, they have to know that for fact. They don't know right now. So why they don't know?

So you're really guilty and you got to prove yourself innocent. He's not fired as a man. As a man, he's just taking a step away. Yeah, he stepped down. What I think happened. I'm just saying I don't like that. What I think happened, because what normally happens, and this is just me, this is not anything I've been told, but normally, you know, they'll come to you and say, hey, we

probably are going to lean towards you taking a step back. If you want to take the narrative and you just say you step back, go ahead, which allows him to, you know, they'll come to you and say, Hey, we probably are going to lean towards you taking a step back. If you want to take the narrative, you just say you said that which allows him to you know what I mean? It doesn't turn the conversation additionally negative. It makes it feel you're guilty and then you got to prove yourself innocent. It's opposed to innocent to proving yourself. I think I think I'm sorry. And then he could have been reading a Pornhub headline

I'm just saying like, you know, cuz I'll be watching those little categories all the time And it's like he couldn't absolutely watching it Oh sure, but it's like I've seen that headline before black man chokes, you know young white girl and you know I've seen that well, whatever he was doing. He got to sit down until ESPN can find that same video Maybe send him a link There's just a lot of things Shannon has against him right now including the audio and him saying, you know He was gonna he'll choke her out including his lawyer saying they were gonna settle for 10 million dollars So I totally understand him saying you know what? I'm gonna take a step back. Once again, he lucky. Yes, man

He said nothing yet. Yeah You know what? I'm gonna take a step back. Once again, he lucky he asked me anything then yeah You you point I understand what you saying, but it's not only it's been Shannon said he needed Yeah, no, no, I get it But I just I I just feel like that's you basically are saying that that man is Innocent Shannon took a step back. Ain't nobody saying nothing to Shannon. Shannon took a step back. Just hit. Audio is just crazy.

Cause even she, if you listen closely, she had like the seductive retarded voice on. You know what I'm saying? Where she's like, what the seductive? You know, it's like, you know, cause she do sound a little behind, but she still like sound like she trying to be sultured

with you. You know, like seductive. That is the worst part of, I get what Jess saying. Cause I'm like, You're trying to be sultured with you. You know, like seductive. That is the worst part of it. I get what Jess saying. Yeah, you're trying to figure it out. Shannon, how you so green to fall for this? Yes, that's what I'm saying. I don't think he that.

You're 56 years old. I don't think he green. He's been famous for a long time and he's been doing this for a long time. I don't know about, and then- No he hasn't. He clearly hasn't been doing this for a long time because these are rookie mistakes.

First of all, 56 years old talking to a 19 year old is ridiculous. All right, 54 talking to a 19 year old and then letting that 20 something year old talk to you like that on text messages and on phone and you sitting there talking And recorded on video. That's how you know, it's been going on for a while. They were we felt like he was in a trusted, you know, I can trust you by now. You even you've been rocking with me for a while.

Yeah, I'm saying there was a story that came out yesterday from sources close to Shannon Sharp that said that they you know, these sources are saying that they they had engaged in that those sexual acts over 100 times. The relationship started around like 2022 or 2023. It's been a couple years but wherever that trust was broken baby is it broke because right now he having the answer to some things and ESPN or him taking a step back. It's a lot of noise right now. And by the way, this is the main thing, and I've been saying this all week, discipline and stability. Clearly he lacks it.

You cannot be 54 years old hollering at a 19 year old. That was his first mistake. So he made a poor choice, that's why he's in this situation. Nobody calls this on Shannon Sharp except for Shannon Sharp. No, I totally agree with you, right? He's not, like, ethically andically and morally just crazy here. It seems crazy But but if he had consensual sex with this girl It's legal and he is a victim if he had consensual sex and they plan is to get some money

Yes, he is a victim if that's the case. I don't know what the cases could we hear both sides? Yes as a 54 year old money could have had consensual sex with this woman He could have had consensual sex and if you had consensual sex and they are if they are lying then he is a victim I think you're missing my point consensual Even for what's consensual is still stupid. It is Stupid it's morally and ethically wrong. Yes But if they're lying on him legally, he's a victim

It is stupid is dumb is the dumbest thing I've heard of a 54 year old man talking to a 19 year old But if he had consensual sex and they're lying and that was role-playing Parents argue Don't you feel like you're watching your parents argue? Yes. Oh my God. You just got to sit here and listen to that. Wait till I release the text message from Charlamagne. Listen, if Shannon was my homie, that's what I'd be telling him.

You put yourself in this situation. That's stupid. It is stupid. Well, we... You right? Please don't release any text, Envy. From me and Charlamagne? Yes.

We all love working together. That's crazy. Right. Well, really quick as we wrap up, I just want to send some prayers to Gilbert Arenas and Laura Govan.

I started this show because unexpected change comes for all of us, and there's no set playbook for how to deal with it. I have all of this psychological baggage that I'm carrying with me, and the last thing I want to do is to pass that on to my daughter. So I have to figure this out. This is this puzzle of my trauma. I have to figure it out and I have to figure it out now.

Join me this season when I talk to Amanda Knox about her choice to reconnect with the prosecutor who helped put her behind bars. This is not about him. This is about me and what I am capable of giving. And I know that I am capable of being kind to this man. And by God, I am going to do it and no one can stop me. Listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's D-E-J, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Key Glock, ladies and gentlemen. What's up? Yo, yo. How you doing, my brother? How you feeling?

Shitting. I'm shitting. New album, Glocka-Velly. May 2nd. Yeah. Somebody said that this was one of the most anticipated albums of spring 2025. I think Pitchfork said that. Pitchfork, yeah. Yeah, for sure.

I think of the year though. Glockaveli, is it a play off of of course, Pacs, Macaveli? It comes from Macaveli for sure, but it's not, I didn't like, all the way copy Pac style. You mean the actual Machiavelli? Right. You're studying that? No, I didn't study it. Okay.

Pac did, like a lot of people don't even know about the prints of Machiavelli, but I knew about it cause I knew about Pac, I read about Pac. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You have a personal connection to the Dear Mama song cause your mom was in jail. Mm-hmm.

Okay, so we hear about that in Glockaveli or no? Nah, you ain't heard about that. Okay, so it ain't that in Glocka Valley or no? No. Okay, so it ain't really. No, not this song. What can we expect different? It's more mature. I made more mature music this time on this album than just fun, whiny music. So we got some mature features? No, I ain't got that though. We ain't got that yet. So what do you mean more mature? What are you talking about? You talking about more about your life, more what's going on? Yeah, I'm just, it's just like everything is brought to life more now. Everything is bolder.

Yeah. Now you had a crazy couple of years, are you bleeding that into the music of everything, your feelings and all that, that your fans can- Yeah, for sure. On this tape, yeah, there's gonna be a lot of that. It's gonna be a lot of that. Was it difficult to do? Because you don't talk that much,

so you don't really express your feelings. We know your music, we know your cars, we know your jewelry, your sneakers, but we don't know Key Glock, let's see, you know, fills the city. Well, the only reason why I made songs like this on this tape is because I took a break last year, and I was just taking

care of everything like for my personal life and at home and like I couldn't do that by being on the road and in the studio the whole year all the time so I had to take a pause like on music get myself together so I was getting myself together everything was just just hitting hard so yeah. So you took it because you was a new father, or what your daughter's what, three now, right? Yeah, she three. She's just turning three.

So you was taking the time to be a father, what you was... It was there, I was taking the time to be a father, being a great son, you know what I'm saying? A lawyer friend, just everything. I had to just tighten up basically. But you did that break when your record was at its peak. Like, well, Let's Go was really, you kinda took a break, cause it, Let's Go like well let's go was was really you

kind of took a break cuz it let's go though I feel like it was just it just kept going and never stopped you said no you could take a year break so you said you this is more mature so obviously you're you did some a little bit of deep diving because I'm on a song Grinch you say I've been running while since the Jit 14 turned into the Grinch what happened in your life? Run 14 it influenced that I just thought I was grown. I just this one I really was like full-blown in the streets. I thought I was growing already. I was 14, but I thought I was like 24 Yeah I thought I was grown already. I was 14, but I thought I was like 24. Yeah Yeah, I always want the ass right and God rest his dead when you put a back to Dolph's cause

God bless the dead. Was that real or was that y'all just doing it cuz you broke his windows I'm like nah, cousins and no cousins family no family only five minutes after it was real But it's like when we had when you having fun like with money like money just a material like we don't Idolize this you don't too much curve it. We know how to make it. We know it's gonna come back So bro, you took a baseball bat and broke his window. There wasn't nothing It might look like it was so I know you got a lot of cars super I know how much we shows cause the windows cause. Exactly. You be looking at every Instagram like, I'm gonna get my back one day and go to work.

Nah, he ain't got even no reason to. Nah, you know. That's the shit y'all just laughed about? Yeah, we really do. It's a lot of stuff that just go on that don't even be on camera. It's just total love. Me and all my homeboys, yeah.

We had Ryan Coogler up here last week. He's the guy that just wrote and produced Sinners movie. Creed, Black Panther. Both of us out, for the last at least month, I've been on Dolph so heavy, I've just been listening to mad Dolph music and he was on the same wave and I was just like, what is going on energetically that just people on Dolph now?

Bro just had a good spirit, bro. And it's like, when you got a good spirit like that, no matter where you at, no matter if you here or not here, it's like your spirit is gonna live on through people. You feel like people credit Dolph and P.R.E. for what they've done for artists, and definitely for the sound of Memphis. Doing car shows with Dolph and the family and P.R.E.,

you get a different experience, cause you see the inside workings on how they move and how they so as a unit, do you feel like people don't get to see that as much? They know, but it's like they don't see it as much. But I ain't allowed to do the way the type of person that I was, he made sure every year, like first Thanksgiving or back to school, if he wasn't doing it, I was doing it. If I wasn't doing it, another artist was doing it.

So it was all the same thing. And like. I saw you signed with Republic Records, right? Yeah. Did you think about Dolph when you did that? He was like, okay, what would bro do right now? Like, would he want me to sign to Republic? Would he want me to stay independent?

Cause I remember you also said you didn't want to sign until you accomplished a lot independently. Right, right. So what were the things that made you solidify, you know, now's the time to sign the Republic? I ain't gonna lie, don't nobody even know this. I'm gonna drop a bomb on y'all. The week before Dawg passed in Memphis,

him, Daddy-O, and a couple of more of our circle just had, you know, just regular talk, just had a round table talk, and s*** so crazy. Dawg says, like, if anything go left, like if anything happen to me, take Glock to, you know what I'm saying? To Republic? Not, no, to the Major.

To the Major, yeah, cause there was always me and him in talks anyway. Like, I never wanted to be the biggest independent artist. It was his thing, like, it was his deal. I never wanted to take that away. But, we always knew how much money we could make with the major. That's why I really kind of did it. Oh, so you already in your mind you already had his blessing. You already knew what it was.

Yeah, it was gonna happen anyway. It just wasn't rushed or forced. Like it wasn't even needed now. It just was okay. I know brother wanted me to do this. It's like he didn't he didn't say it for no reason. And it was no coincidence he said it like a week before. You know what I'm saying? What's something that Dolph told you that didn't hit at the time, but it makes all the sense in the world now?

Man, we can't rush and put this music out. I never understood this shit, like my first two, three years in the game. He was strategic with his. Yeah, I never understood it at first. Cause I was recording so much, as soon as I recorded this recorded, put it out. I didn't understand the industry at the time,

like I do now. Now they said you got a lot of records with him before he passes, is there a plan to do a- Please man, I need some more. What's the plan for all that? It's in route, I'm just letting y'all know. It's in route, it's in route. Full project, full album?

It's in route, it's in route. How do you know when? Really, it ain't no to me. You ask me, I drop a tape every month. That's how music got me. That's how much music I got, but you just gotta be strategic with stuff. All right, we got more with Key Glock.

When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Key Glock. His new album, Glockaveli, is out May 2ious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. We still kicking it with Key Glock. His new album Glockaveli is out May 2nd. Charlamagne?

How do you protect Dolph's legacy in the decisions you make now musically and personally? I don't know, we think the same way. Like before I even do certain stuff, I say to myself, I ask myself, what would bro do? I just go with my gut. Because nine times out of ten, it's God let me know. So I ain't going to go against it.

So I be straight. The fact that you have a three-year-old daughter, how does that impact the music for you? Of course, you're talking now and you know, you breaking things down. So I know she daddy's girl. How does that impact your music? It don't affect my music too much because like my lifestyles don't always be my lifestyle and I don't want her to just know her daddy is all the way is like Glock basically. She know I'm an artist or whatever but she don't she don't know what I'm rapping about right now you know what I'm saying? It's just all fun to her. She don't even know I'm a celebrity she just I'm dead at. When you're moving around do you feel you see everything that's going on

especially in Memphis and anywhere really LA and Atlanta do you feel safe being an artist? Ain't no where safe you gotta you gotta be on on point wherever you go even if you in Denver Colorado like you can't let your guard down nowhere. You feel like Memphis is a place where You gotta be on point wherever you go. Even if you in Denver, Colorado, you can't let your guard down nowhere. You feel like Memphis is a place where they don't like to see their own? Ah yeah, we're crass in the bucket for sure. Until you get to a certain extent.

That's interesting you said that because I always see people give you props for having a great ear for beats that fit into that Memphis trap sound. So how do you maintain that being that you're not there no more? It's really in me bro. I ain't gonna lie.

I got years of music in me. Like from my grandma, uncles, it's just like all type of music, all type of sounds just stuck with me. That's why I got like just a good ear for that shit. I like the single The Grinch, right? Was there a period where you were feeling like that like you was feeling like I guess Just bitter and disgruntled Angry I was an angry kid. I was an angry kid

only because like my Pops weren't in my life like I knew him but he wasn't being a father and my mom she was already incarcerated away from me So I was raised by my grandma and my great-grandmom. So there's only so much they can teach me. You know what I'm saying? So. Did you ever resent your mom for that? Like, get mad at her? Yeah, of course, because I was young.

I was like, I don't even know what she did at the time. I think I was like, nah. I was like, it's your fault that you're not with me. Like, I was just basically just growing up in Matrona, but I was still like a kid. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, I'm having football games. I got at school.

I'm seeing mums and daddies pulling up, you know what I'm saying? And supporting them. I'm one of the star players, but it's cool how my grandma pulling up, but it's like, I wanted that feeling of my mother to see this. You know what I'm saying?

So. Where are y'all relationship today? Best friend, backbone. Y'all see how good now? Yeah, for sure. So you forgave her, you understood? Yeah, of course. I was just young, bro.

I didn't understand it. How long did that take to forgive her, to understand? When you had your first kid? I was like 13 or 14. I didn't know about no state and feds and stuff at that younger age, bro. I just't know about no state and feds and stuff at that younger age I just knew I had to go visit her every week or every other week It's building with Bob why everywhere my grandma taking me and we gotta go through metal detectors

And like I remember yesterday. Yeah Did they tell you that you was actually visiting her in jail? Did they say something like oh, she's just like I want to see Your mom Why I really didn't know Your money like why you rather be here than with me at home Yeah, it's like once I got older it start rich and it's like something right Did she ever have a conversation with you like this is what I did to be taken away from you Yeah, how are you 13 14?

Okay, basically when I could start understanding more Yeah, if you don't mind me asking what does she get locked up for you saying set it off? Yeah, it was just like that her two of her friends and our cousin Robbed the bank? They did some robbing. That's hard. You ever thought about doing a book? I'm just saying. They already did. Not from the Memphis perspective though.

Yeah. She writing a book though. She writing a book right now. Did you ever feel that same type of anger when Dolph was tragically taken from you? Man, I'm still mad. I'm good though. I ain't gonna lie, I never get over that. I'm good, I learned how to accept it though. How does it feel every time it pops back up in the news?

It feels like it gives you a chance to kind of release a little bit? I hate seeing it. I ain't gonna lie, I just hate seeing it. Yeah, that's all. I try my best to just stay off of that. Y'all was actually family though. Y'all was cousins, right? Yeah, good match. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, so it would be hard for you to even have that kind of relationship with somebody else anyway. Kinda. Kinda. Yeah, kinda. Did it bring you any sort of relief to see that, you know, when his killers were sentenced?

I don't even want to speak on it. Okay. Yeah, I don't even want to speak on it. I totally get it. Do you put a lot of that in the music? What? Just the frustration, the anger, like... I probably did on one or two songs, but it was probably like one line. I ain't just go all the way in on it. Yeah, y'all just don't know this drive me somewhere else, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Have you tried to grieve properly, though? Have you given yourself a chance to? Is that part of the year taken off the year too? I ain't gonna lie. I'm a grieve for life. Like, I done accepted that. I already know that. But it's not finna like deteriorate me or make me, know what I'm sayin', do something that I'ma regret.

Right, right. Basically, yeah. Should we be expecting any visuals? You know, your visuals go crazy. Like on a movie tip, cinematically, we gon' expect any tip cinematically we gonna expect any I'm just waiting on this uh it's final to come through but yeah I'm planning on dropping on the Grinch yeah oh okay did you ever think about doing short films just like movies anything like that yeah I think I'm gonna like have to write my own do my own wait on nobody come reach

out mm-hmm Dolph had he was doing he was about to do a movie and yo, that's the craziest thing going back to what you said about him creating opportunities for people. He had literally hit me up and asked me to be in a movie that he was about to make. Nah, bruh f*** me. Yeah man, and I really, really would have loved to do that.
