It's all a blur. You know why? Because I said all summer long, I just want to chase like real dopamine. So it's just been a blur the last couple of weeks. Okay. You know, when you go to three Jay-Z shows in a row at 48 years old, and then the very next weekend you go to see GZ and Mary J. Blige in Vegas. you really haven't caught up with much.

You're tired. Okay? Yeah. A little all over the place. Then I'm going to catch me another dope meeting this weekend. I'm not mad at you. Yep. That's what it's about. Where are you going this weekend?

None of your business. I'll tell you after the fact. After I come back. You told us already, Jess. You'll be paying. No, no, no, no. I don't like to say stuff like that on the air. So, y'all like to announce where y'all going and take a bunch of pictures and stuff when y'all there and then, you know.

All I do is work on the weekends. I don't even know what you talk about? I rather tell you. I rather tell you. Okay. Have you seen me post that I've been somewhere? I'm already gone. Yeah, me too.

Long gone. Me too. What's up, Jess? I'm good. How are you? Good, good, good. That's good. Salute to 50 Set and Stars.

Last night, they had the premiere of the episode of Fightland. Nice. I hosted the Red Carpet last night. Ran into a bunch of people. I've seen 50 Cent. I see Mac Wiles. I see Sherry Shepherd. I've seen Tori Norton.

I've seen Rich the Kid. Sleepy Hollow. So many different people came out. So the premiere, it comes out on Stars, July 31st. And it's another series. based off of out of UK. So it's a UK series. Nice.

And it's about a boxer who's a championship winner. He wins. And the night he wins, he loses his brother. And it's about him getting revenge and all this other stuff. And it's really good. And all that's cool. What 50 was talking about, man? He said anything?

Say anything good? That's all you care about. Yes. This was all about positivity last night. And the premiere of his new flick, you know, catching a Luke is positive. We spoke behind the scenes, but I didn't bring that to the red carpet. But we did talk.

I'll tell you behind the seat. And drop the football for Jess O'Lari. It's just about to perform with Rick James or somebody. Period. Okay? You hear me? That's a snapback too or no? Glash it yesterday you had a snapback. Do this look like this can be a snapback? I mean, the hat you had on yesterday?

It looked like that. It was a brimless cap. It was not a snapback. A snap is when you snapped the buttons down. Sorry. That wasn't a snapback yesterday and it's not a snapback today. Okay, just asking. God damn.

Well, let's get the show cracking. Buju Bontan will be joining us this morning. His album, Too Too Bad. is out right now. We're going to be kicking it. with Buju. And of course, we got front page news. And you can get it off your chest. 800-585-105.1. If you need to vent, you can hit us up right now. Oh, if you want to tell us why you're blessed. You can head us up and tell us that too.

All right. Front-page news is next to the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Shalameen the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get some front-pays. Just like Lexington's just like Lechie Stamfield this morning. A little bit. That's what I'm like Lechie Stanfield. What's up, Mimi? Good morning, you guys. How are you doing this morning? Good morning. So we start with the Trump administration, putting the brakes on more than $1 billion in Medicaid payments to California and Minnesota while it investigates what it says are possible fraud and paperwork problems.

So Medicaid is the government health insurance program that helps low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities. The administration says it wants proof that some of the money, the states are requested. are going to legitimate payments before it sends out the funding. So Dr. Oz, he oversees Medicare and Medicaid for the Trump administration. He addressed the issue during a press conference yesterday. Let's listen. In Minnesota and California, our reviews are going back just over the last few years, turned up the same recurring theme again and again, every single quarter,

claims in these same high-risk categories that the states have not yet been able to document fully and acceptably to the federal government, claims that are unresolved, and claims that smell like fraud. And if it smells like fraud, we're not paying for it anymore. And also keep in mind, like the Trump administration has been making major cuts

to the federal Medicaid for a minute now. Yes, they have. But both states, they are pushing back Governor Gavin Newsom and Tim Walz. They call the move political and say they are being unfairly targeted. Here is Governor Gavin. They said, well, something is wrong. We said, what is it? They said, well, we don't know.

Provide us information. We said, well, is it the same information you requested a few months ago that we're in the process of providing that you said should be sent to us by the end of July? We said, well, and they said, yes. Well, then what's the point of the theater? This is exhausting. I never, it's anything like this. And so we'll work through the problem. We take fraud seriously. We don't politicize it like these guys. the Trump administration doesn't care if you die y'all. I just want you to know that. Okay.

As long as he gets, you know, revenge against his political opponents, he don't care if you die. Jesus. Yeah, $1 billion to both states is a lot of money for people who really need it, especially right now. The Trump administration says the payments will remain on hold until its review is complete. California and Minnesota, they insist, though they've done nothing wrong and they continue. They will continue to fight this decision. decision. Meanwhile, President Trump says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be arrested when he comes to New York for the UN General Assembly in September. Now, the statement comes after

New York City Mayor, Mayor Zeran Mondani, he said that he, like Netanyahu, arrested over alleged war crimes in Gaza pointing to an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court. that federal law and state law, they banned local officials from helping enforce those ICC warrants. Here is Mayor Mondani. My administration has refuted every avenue available under applicable law to determine whether New York City could execute the international criminal court's arrest warrant if Benjamin Netanyahu came here. It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant. The federal government, however, does. And I call on them to join the ICC and execute this warrant.

warrant. And I want to be equally clear. Benjamin Netanyahu is not welcome in New York City. Yes. So there was some back and forth over that. But the Trump administration says it's made it's, it, it has made it clear that it has no plans to cooperate with this, calling the idea of an arrest, a publicity stunt. But why is it a publicity stunt that there's actually an international arrest warrant? Like, there's actually an international arrest warrant. There's an elected official who wants to enforce that. What's the problem? Isn't that the law? What have I misunderstood? Well, only the federal government can arrest someone on an ICC warrant. Oh, okay, okay.

Yes, he's saying Mayor Mondani does not have the authority to do so. So him coming out and saying that he's calling that a publicity stunt. Oh. Yes, yes. That's a damn new publicity stunt because he got me. I was like, damn, he's trying to enforce the law like that. He said he want to arrest BB? I didn't know that he didn't have the power.

I thought he had the power to do it. Who the-da? Especially he came to New York. Yeah. He ain't go against Trump. Trump ain't going to let go happen. Listen, he got me. I didn't know.

Wow. Trump said that ain't happening. Yeah, that's exactly what he said. He made it clear. He put out a statement saying that that was just, you know, when he does come, he will not be arrested. And lastly, if you are flying out today, just check your flight before you leave for the airport. Those severe storms that hammered the northeast yesterday. They've moved out, but airlines, they are still.

backlogged and they're working to get crews back on schedule. So while conditions are much better this morning, flight aware is still tracking hundreds of delays, nearly 500 cancellations across the U.S. So if you're traveling through airports like New York, Newark, Boston, or Philadelphia, they're saying to especially check your flight before heading to the airport this morning. Yeah, it's nasty. You know, I got my car show going down in Virginia this Saturday,

and I got staff that I'm flying down there. And staff's flights have been canceled, have been delayed. I had like six, seven people that were supposed to leave yesterday that we had to change their flights to another time. It's nasty. It's to the point where I was like we might just get a big dollar van, like one of the big conversion bands just drive down there because it's nasty out there.

Yeah, that's what they're saying. So, and coming up at 7, if you've been sending out resumes with no luck, a new lawsuit says artificial intelligence could be partly to blame. We're going to talk about that in the next hour. All right. Thank you, me. me? Everybody else get on the phone lines. Get it off your chest. 800-58-1-105-105-1. It's the breakfast club.

So the fact that we were on a date night on our 14-year anniversary, and we were at a concert with the two people that we grew up with. Y'all don't understand. Now, that's the black love, and that was a beautiful thing. Now, first of all, I want you to stop saying,

He's definitely a bootyologist. What's your question? Hey, we're here. Here is my concern, though. Man, I went out of messing around. You scattered it on the day after they're going to stick a camera in me, man. I got a colonnops. be Friday. So I'm like, man, I got to take all them latin-s this stuff, man.

I'm kind of worried about it, but I guess I just bring plenty of tissue, right? No, no, no. Done that, okay? And first of all, it's not a bootyologist. It's a proctologist. And, yes, you should be happy that you're going to get your colonoscopy. Okay, Ben there, done that. You're going Friday, so you'll be clear by Saturday. I mean, believe me, you'll be, it'll be all out your system Friday. You'll be good. Yes, the day before the prep that, really. The day before the prep is a tough thing.

He's a professional bullionologist. You got to get it done that many times? But, you do it for fun. But by the way, I don't have a problem with that because, you know, I care about my health. So I go, if I got to do it four times, I'm going to do it four times.

I clear my sister. How long do you all got to get him as men? Man, you know. I don't got to go back for 10 years. Yeah, you ain't got to go back to type 10. I got to go back this year. I got to go back after four. I had polyps.

my father died right before I was born. I just found out he passed away from cancer. Then my brother passed away three years ago from Colin County. It went away and came back until him quit, man. They said I was supposed to be getting colonoscopy since I was like 38. But, you know, I just had my first one three years ago, and I'm going for my second one Friday. Right.

Yeah, but see, you got such a. extensive history of it in your family that's why yeah that makes if you have history in your family they want you to go more often or if they have polyps they tell you I think I was supposed to go seven but I'm going this year this would be my fifth year because I'm nervous I just want to double check I'll have the

doctor keep calling you back he like what he's see yo shut up man but either way man I'm looking forward to this car show I'm gonna still I'm still bring me something that that made me feel comfortable about going and I don't want to want to ask it to hiccuffs or anything but

I love the 757, so I can't wait to see you guys. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Greg from Pennsylvania. Greg from PA.

What's up? Get it off your chest, Greg. Hey, good morning, guys. In the Charlemagne. Yes. Good morning. Good morning. So I called like four years ago.

Jess, she wasn't there for this, but my mom had passed away. And we had some, you know, some issues because you didn't have life insurance. And, you know, I called in and you guys allowed me to put our good family out there. And y'all basically helped me pay for my mom's funeral. So I wanted to, you know, call and won't you guys know how much I appreciate it. But at the same time, my family was back in the same situation. My uncle just passed away last Thursday. And unfortunately, he, you know, he's a struggling.

And always talks about how the country treats our veterans. He was a first-class sergeant. And he didn't have, you know, medical insurance or life insurance due to the VA. So I wanted to see if we could have, if I could put his good funding out there to see if we can get them help for his various services. Yeah, man. Put it out there, brother. All right. So the GoFundee is Rodney's Veterans Memorial.

If you go on there, you'll see it as a First Sergeant, U.S. Army badge, his Army picture with his picture next to it. And if you want to do our cash app, it's money sign GW. E. and Edward. B's and boys, Bs and boys, 31. All right, brother. On cash out.

Thank you for calling, my brother. Good luck, brother. Thank you. I appreciate everything. Anything helps, guys. Thank you. I will say this, too. It's difficult to talk about, right?

But when I've heard all these stories, what it made me do is it made me, and this is going to sound crazy, but it made me get my own plot and my own burial grounds so that if something does happen to me and my wife, my kids don't have to worry about it. Yeah, so it's all paid for,

which is crazy because you're paying for your own funeral. But I did, so that way my kids wouldn't have to. And even my mother and father, like, they already told me, look, my dad was a vet. So he was like, I'm going to be buried here. They bury me for free. They bury mom for free.

His wife, my mother for free. So he was like, all that's taken care of. So you don't have to worry about that. That's one less stress. You ain't got to worry about it. Yeah. Because it's always that that's like common for families to be left with trying to figure out, you know, how to bury family members. Yeah, so.

Get it off your chest, 800585 101. What's up, Lauren? Hello. Good morning, y'all. How are you? Morning. Nothing. You got the ladies coming up.

Listen to You're the Problem with Yamanika on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam? I'm sports journalist Ari Chambers.

Hey, what's up y'all? It's your girl, Sam J. And we're the host of everyone watches women's sports, a new podcast from Together and Iheart women's sports. Because let's be real. Women's sports is giving us way too much to talk about these days. So Kelsey Finler, she became the first female solo rower to go from California to Hawaii. My first thought is just like, what's up with the snacks? Like, what are we eating? The highlights, the rivalries, the breakout stars, the moments that take over your entire timeline. And the conversations that start during the game and somehow keep going all week.

Every week, we're breaking down the biggest stories across women's sports. Naomi Osaka showing out, she beat Sabalinka. Shout out to you, Naomi. You get the palm, Naomi. You get the palm for that. Because we're not just interested in what happened. We're interested in why everyone's talking about it. because everyone watches women's sports.

Listen to everyone watches women's sports on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. On this, he, you know, went on his show and responded and talked about the firings. And he talks about Ryan Clark being laid off. Let's take a listen to that. My brother, Ryan Clark, a person that I consider to be arguably the best NFL analyst in America, is no longer a member of the SPN. And I can't even tell y'all how much that hurts. I'm going to miss them.

I am not happy about this decision one bit. The bosses know I'm not happy about this decision. I've made that very, very clear. But it's also important that myself and anybody else in a world of business be grownups and understand that these are the kind of things that happen when layoffs happen. The only thing that I can definitively say to you is that there's nobody that's going to be let go. That was more of a friend and a brother than me than Ryan Clark. and he's not somebody that I just loved working with.

He's somebody that I love, period. Stephen ain't not wrong. Like, it's nothing you can do about corporate layoffs. They happen. They suck. It's people you enjoy. It's people you might have worked with for a long time. But, you know, it's business.

It is business. But I always wonder when it comes to that, because you talk about Ryan Clark and also Cam Newton, which you're about to break down, is it's based off of numbers, right? How much money they bring in, they're advertising? How much the show costs? Is it worth doing because are they making enough profit off of that show? And I thought both those individuals,

I thought both of them were bringing the ratings in and the advertising. That's what I assumed and thought. I assumed the same thing too, but I don't know that. Like, I don't know that to be like, I don't, I can't answer that. Like, I don't know all the numbers. I don't know all the, you know. We're not ESPN executives. Yeah.

Now, Stephen A also speaking of ESPN executives, because a lot of people were like, well, Stephen A, you talk about business is business, but like you are in a leadership position. Like, how did this happen? And he kind of addresses that as well, too. Let's take a listen to Stephen A on ESPN employers. I just wish that I could have been in enough of an influential or powerful position to prevent his exit from happening. I can disagree with my employers, which you're not going to get me to do is insult my employers. Business is business.

And whether we like it or not, those people who made the decisions, whether it's a Ryan Clark or a host of other people, are paid to make those decisions. So when I think about it, it's like, thank God, Ryan's got the pivot. Thank God he's a three-time Emmy Award winner. Thank God he just won another Emmy with NFL Live. Thank God he's so exceptional at what he does that a network would be a fool not to gobble him up. Damn, God, damn. He had to say it like that.

God, damn, I just want a job, man. I ain't got to gobble me up now. But Stephen A is right. You can be in a leadership position, right? Like Stephen A. But it's still levels. Like Stephen A has influence there, but clearly this was above him.

Yeah. And he's right. Ryan Clark is going to be absolutely fine. Well, I also got my. my hands on an internal note that was sent to the employees at ESPN from their chairman Jimmy Patero. And in this, it says over the past several months, we've made significant progress integrating the NFL assets that we acquired into ESPN. Throughout this process, we have taken time to carefully evaluate our collective teams, resources, and organizational

structure to best position us for the future. As a result, we had to make some difficult decisions about job impacts that we will be communicating today. While most of the jobs impacts are tied to that acquisition, we will also note. colleagues and other parts of the company today that their positions have been impacted. We are committed to treating employees with compassion and respect and providing support as they navigate the transition. So one of the things that some executives, one of the, I mean, he's the head of ESPN, and is pointed to is that there was a recent acquisition that has changed the landscape

within internally. So now on to Cam Newton, Cam Newton was let go yesterday. And he talked about his layoff on fourth and one. Let's take a listen. When you hear certain things, it was like, dang, it's messed up how they did. Ryan. Hold on real quick. Hey, you can go with it too. It's like, damn. It's unfortunate what happened to Ryan Clark, but what I will tell you is this, Ron Clark gonna be okay. The pivot ain't going nowhere. It's unfortunate what happened to me. Some would think, but I'm good.

Fourth and one ain't going to go on the way. Funky Friday ain't going away. What I've learned, it was an internship almost. The production value. They're the leading sports source for a reason. But boy, Ryan, boy, you brought the best out man. Stephen? Stephen Anthony, man, it was a plump, please and pleasure, brother. I appreciated that because I'm pleased not have that education. Yes, a camp wasn't even a year, wasn't he? I don't know if it was exactly a year, but I just remember when, even when he came up here,

it was after all the Shannon Sharp stuff. And he was brought on, like, I think it was like more, not full-time, but he had more appearances on the show. Cam's another one that's going to be a, funky Fridays, fourth and one. Like, he's going to be fine. Yeah. I love his attitude toward it. Well, yeah, I mean.

And I think, light of it. And I think, and also, salute to all the people that work in production and technical positions that got laid off.

I heard there was like 150 people at ESPN who got laid off for the way. So salute to all of them too. We're just talking about the people that are on camera. That's what happens in these corporate environments.

There's mass layoffs sometimes. That is what it is. It's all about numbers. It's all about numbers. Profit and losses. Yeah. So if there is more there, more here,

more developing, we'll keep you guys updated in the latest. Okay. So that's the latest for the hour. And then in the next latest, unfortunately we're up to get into a lawsuit because yesterday on the

anniversary of Malcolm Jamal Warner's death, his wife or widow sued filed a lawsuit against his mom and his estate and we'll break it all down and why that happened. All right. Now when we come back, Mimi will be joining us. We've got front page news and then Bougarine to be here. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ

NV. Jets Salarious. Sholomane Ngaat. We are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Mimi? Good morning. NV.J. Sholomene. How you? y'all do on this hour. Hey, Mimi, now, Mimi, you got a Ray Dunn mug with your name on it? What the hell is a Ray Dunn mug?

It's not a Ray Dunn. It just says Mimi. Oh, okay, all right. But you know. Yeah, yeah. What's a Ray Dunn, though? It's just a brand that makes mugs, but I've seen her name on it. I was like, okay, Mimi got a personalized mug.

I know that's right. I know that's right. Is this you got a Ray Dunn? I got, I got a wife. I got wife. I like that. I like that. All right, well, we start this hour with the major development in the death of

Nolan Xavier Wells. So Civil Rights Attorney. Ben Crump is expected to release the preliminary results of an independent autopsy this morning during a news conference at the NAACP National Convention in Chicago. The 18-year-old disappeared after a Fourth of July boat trip to Mississippi's Horn Island. He never returned to the mainland with the others in his group. His body was found in the water two days later. NWACP attorney Kristen Clark, she spoke with journalist April Ryan about what to expect from today's news conference, let's listen. We'll open the day, the final day of the convention with a press

conference, a press conference where we will have the mother and father of Nolan Wells. And we will, with Ben Crump, attorney Ben Crump and President Derek Johnson, released the preliminary results of the independent autopsy that has been conducted. But most important in this moment is really pressing and demanding that law enforcement do its part to uncover what happened to Nolan Wells. Yes. So the Mississippi State Medical Examiner has not released their official autopsy results, but the Wells family, we've been talking about this. They hired their own forensic pathologists to conduct a second examination. It was funded by NFL, former NFL quarterback, Colin Kaepernick. And Crum says the findings, though, could help answer one of the family's biggest questions,

whether Nolan suffered any injuries before anything happened to him. It's going to give us a better answer. The case has also drawn national attention as some continue to surround, as they continue to surround, you know, what happened to him in his final hours. The reward is now up to $125,000 with former NFL star Terrell Owens. adding $25,000 to that. We already know that Reverend Al Sharpton, he pledged 50,000, and Tyler Perry

pledged 50,000. Not to sound stupid, with all these cases, we talk about this so much, but did he drown or we don't know if he drowned? Because I can't remember what happened to how he was found. I know that he was missing, and they don't know what happened and how he's found, but did he drown or we don't know? And so local officials say that he drowned.

We don't know, though. We don't know if he was dead before he, okay, I just want to make it. Exactly. There's so many stories I just couldn't remember. Yes, exactly. He was found faced down with fully clothed in the water. But they came out, of course, and said no foul play and that it was a drowning. And that's why we have, you know, the independent autopsy coming back today.

Okay, just to give us some answers. And maybe why hasn't Mississippi put out there autopsy results? Is that normal? Like, is this the normal time frame? I don't think that that's normal at all. And from everything that I've been. and what everyone is saying. But, you know, they initially came out and made their conclusion too soon, you know, regards

to what the family says too soon. And so I think now they're kind of holding back and they say that they're doing their own investigation as well. They're talking to more people. But they were ready to close this case in the very beginning until, you know, the public awareness got to the height that it has to now. So we'll see. And we'll see once we put ours out or theirs out, what happens?

next. Another question. You could order the autopsy, right? Because I know, especially in California had to order one before, but you could actually just pay for it and order an autopsy and get your copy of an autopsy. Is that correct? You can, but the question is, who's conducting that autopsy? And do you trust those

results? I think that's, that's where we are. Yeah. Do we have time for one more? No, sorry. We're done. Don't Mimi. But they can go listen to the Mimi Brown podcast, front page news on the Black

Effect Podcast Network today because I'm sure whatever story you was about to do will be on that. Absolutely. It will be on there. So please go listen to Front Page wherever you get your podcast from. All right. Thank you, Mimi. Sorry for cutting you off. I just had a bunch of questions this moment.

That's okay. No, good conversation. Thanks, Envi. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow. All right. Now, when we come back, Booju will be joining us. Bougabon time. We're going to talk to him next.

This new album, Too Too Bad. It's out now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envi. Just hilarious. Salomey and Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. His album, Too Too Bad is out right now. Bouguantan, welcome. Enough respect, no respect, no respect, no respect. No respect to the big fans club. Thanks, inviting them on your program. New York City stand up.

This is the gargamel. First of all, how are you feeling? I'm on Airy. I want to give thanks. Well, I tell you all the time, you are my wife's favorite artist. Jaja. Number one is Bougu, number two is Maxwell. They don't really go to time.

That's what it is. Oh, I think she's figuring out something. Yeah. She figures out. So first of all, why now? Why put out this album now? What made you want to do it right now? That's a bigger question.

And what took so long is not a bigger question. That is the two questions. These are energies that's needed right now in the space where my music and my genre of music is concerned, record dance and music. So we want to invigorate that space again with music where people can gravitate to ours because it does resonate.

Now, there's many different elements of bourgeois, right? There's the conscious bourgeois, there's the dance hall boojou. There's the more hip-hop boo-joo. I would say I'm just musical. I'm just a musical farcet that keeps flowing, you know? Which, on this project, which element would you say? Dan Sal, this is 100% dance-hael.

This is the Genesis. That's how I was introduced to the masses. And through the passage of time, you have to grow a realtor. You'll become monotonous, you know? So the growth is always something where make sure grow and reinvent yourself. This is what's 13 studio album. So we take it back to the, to the foundation, to basics.

two too bad. You talk a lot about or recently you've been talking a lot about making sure that the will was not reinvented. You want to make sure the foundation remains the foundation of the genre of music that you represent. What do you feel like it's gotten to today that

you're like, I need to make sure that we take we bring it back. Like what are you seeing in the genre right now that you? We have coined a new phrase called trap dance. Our music is free and liberating. This is the music that, this is rebel music. You cannot trap it. When they trap something you trap it for game to slate.

You can't kill this music. This music is the music that free many people and break the cycle of poverty. So we cannot trap it, you know? So even though a phrase might be coined, it is still a dance hall. And the original dance hall must always be represented, you know, whatever we do.

Because that's how we bring our culture forward. Hip-up has changed in a significant way. Yes, but it's still hip-up. And they're still holding on to the rudimenta for the drum plays and how the cadence flow. We don't want to morph into something. unrecognizable. Who was the first person to bring Buju into a studio? Who was the first person to see the vision that says

you're going to be great? There was this great revolutionary from Brickston, England, who actually the man, they started the Brickston riot. They came to Jamaica and opened a record in the studio car Blue Mountain record in the studio and this gentleman was like a mentor to me who always tried to go in my book bag and try to question me if I went to school or am I going to school because at school bell ring

I'm in the studio as it didn't have been before so one rainy day he said to Clement Irie it was 1986 August of 60 take Buja Bantan with you to the studio so he can see what the studio

looks like Clement took me to the studio with him and it was actually 56 live in Pintoche recording studio Robert French was running the studio time and that was my first experience

but Mr. Harris always you know what I mean and next good friend of mine was a burden by the name of Uncle Sid, Uncle Sid, reside in Boston, Uncle Sid saw Bourjibandton in Jamaica.

In those days, there was a rental car a three-two-three Mazda that the foreigners would come to Jamaica and rent. It was a car, a very popular car for foreigners to rent. Uncle Sid would show up in the ghetto and he would always encourage me and tell me, no matter what, your time must come and your time will come.

I want to say, Uncle Sid was in peace because time did come we do we're not here to see and share them in the moment, but these are some of the people who saw about your bontan before anyone did. When you, speaking of your family, I know you talk about like your mom and your dad, like you got your entrepreneurial spirit

from your mom, right? Yeah. Yeah, and your charm from your dad. You talk about your uncle Sid. No, Sid was not my uncle, you know, we call him Uncle Sid. Sid was just a foreigner who come to Jamaica because I used to be in a sound system

owned by Flower Gond and Red Dragon them. So Sid and Flowergan them, you know, Those were the superstars and I was coming up. But he always used to tell me, you, you got it. I was going to ask about sound system culture. So when I was preparing for this interview and I was researching, what I realized is that sound system culture is not just like a culture. It's like really a place I guess people could kind of go to and like get information a bit.

Like it was almost like a community. Can you talk a bit about sound system culture and how so you have your actual family, but then you're growing up in this culture where like music and dance becomes a family as well too. and what you take from that to give to people as they listen to your music. Jamaican music possess many teachable moments, so to speak. And the music has always been a very important teacher, you know. The dance is a place where the information is disseminated and the people take that and it is widespread.

The dance is pivotal to us. Now, in the sense, we are an entity, you know, there are stages to this thing. Oh, I grew up. You didn't grow up and just run straight into a recording studio. It was never, ever the case. never ever ever ever you have to go into the dance hall

the people have to certify you is either pump it or dump it or they tell you straight out go work on your craft you know what I mean and when you leave the dance hall you go to the studio it's like stages and you move from the studio

you go to the stage so now that aspect of our culture has slowly been taking away where we have now the dance hall is there but entertainers are not readily approaching the mic to wound their craft like that and then for us it was also our livelihood I was employed on a sound system we have to work Thursday night Friday night Saturday night and Sunday night

and go back home on Monday so it was not only for listening to the music you were actually man running the dance when the selector plays the A side he plays the B which constitutes the version and you be playing your craft you do that from 9 o'clock until 7 o'clock in the morning and if you are playing in four different locals you could not go to the four locals with the same four songs. You have to have new songs. So push your creativity as an artist. And that I think is a major aspect of our artist development era that is been taking away.

How do you do that now? You can't do that now. Like I just said, it has been taking away. No one is doing it now. For us, the art is not brave enough. And they all think they are stars, which do people make us who we are. And we cannot be a loo from them. So when you find yourself not been connecting,

because you figure that, oh, you're bigger than this, then you have a clear disconnect. What made you grow your hair? What make I grow here? The reason I ask that is, you know, when I hear you were coming, I reach out to all my family, and I'd be like, if you have one question for Booge,

what would that question be? One of the questions was like, ask what made them grow up? Life changed my life, you know. I don't know I come from a rough place in time, and this music, yeah, is not just the people's music. Reggae is the king's music. It's come from the Latin world, Ragina. Yes, and our king is.

is the sallasian we come represent the ethiopian teawado church you know i mean the orthodox faith so we grow our here as a symbol to all ones and once are for another right vow you know i mean so you we are in a room where room i don't you understand them just see here on locks and say them are here and locks but it is deeply symbolic and it is identifying with iron eye culture as a true african now you named a bunch of a dance-all-a-lawedists i feel like we're with dance all sometimes it's hard to get everybody on the same stage and same platform why do you think that is because there's so much on the stage with breakdown we're a lot you know but just like in your hip-hop culture there's not much unity either this is widespread is the way of the world

where one generation come work hard to create the unity and next generation come trying to maintain the next unity and another generation come didn't understand what the first and second did and when to do their own thing and then we start having fragmentation and this is exactly you know i mean but at the end of the day we all come together when we see each other and we all support each other because i'm and support the culture and the culture is bigger than any one individual when i just came into this music 1986 the most famous stock was entertainers come and go but the music stays forever and that stock is still relevant today i love that you guys are about the head out on a tour correct currently on a tour Currently on the tour.

Currently on the Roots and Rhymes reggae tour, featuring Steve Amel, Graham Smogh, and Steele-Beng, shall be passing through. And it's on the heels of my brand new album, Too Too Bad. It's a whole package of joy. Your last album was in 2023, correct? Yes, ma'am. So in that three years, what did you take time to, like, really...

Well, when I put out on record, I don't really rush to go back into the studio to make... I'm not chasing my tail, you know. Music is something that comes with a vibe. You know, I could have put out a record every day because we do own our own record in the studio. But that's not the, that's not, we want the right songs at the right moment.

And I'm not in, I'm not in a race with anyone. Sometimes you've got to take a break and let other people do their stuff. Yeah. And then we can't crowd the thing, you know what I mean? So I take a break every time I put out a record at least a minimum of two years. This one took a little bit longer during the,

you know what happened? Everyone was on lockdown. So even if you wanted to, it could not have. Right. So as a result of that, we are here now. Got one more question before we get into the album. Your name Bujubanta, how did you come up with the name Bujubantam? First of all, I did not come up with the name Bujo.

My mom gave her the name Bujo. The name was given to me from Bert. It's a maroon word. The Maroon revolutionary from Jamaica who fought the British for 40 years, call him into a peace street and went back to fight them again for 40 more years because the law after war said if there's a society in a war for 80 years, which we did, And they seed our land back to us.

And we have treaties that is signed by the king that designate our population as an indigenous population of the Maroon Cockpit Country. So my name is deeply rooted to our heritage and the warrior side of my people. Now, the Bantan came from my admiration for Burubantan. It was a very prolific DJ when I was a young man going to school. And we like his flow. So we took the bantan because bantan actually means someone who is lyrically inclined.

So you were born into the movement that you now are such a leader of and into music. And it's like a, like you were called to do it almost. I am here. If I was called, I did answer. I'm happy I did. Now let's get into the album. Too too bad. Favorite record on there is House Call for me.

Oh yeah? Me and you haven't listened to it in a entirety. No, I give you space. We did. I give you space. I'll give you grace. As a DJ, you just, it just, the tempo was everything. You just know, you just know.

When you play that record, club goes crazy. Oh, yeah? Well, there's so much... I try to make this record possess something for everyone, so I wouldn't point to one particular track and say, this is it. Right.

Because then I could say, Wild Woman, is it? Because them song there. You know, we make music from our city at position, we want the ladies happy, you know? You know, I'm not into the sausage, fresh.

I like to see when the ladies them whine and dance and enjoy themselves because ladies bring life, they are the true portal. Man can bring life. So when the portal is happy, the world is happy. She loves bad Pum-Pum.

Good Pum-Po. I'm sorry. You know what I mean? So, you know, everyone has something on this record that you can identify with hopefully because you go down to you. Be good.

You go down to, you know, Nuffman or ask you want to bring to it. This album, brother and sisters, let me tell you, go out and get your copy. Listen now. And we talk about it later. How about that? You guys, I know you had another one on the album that you love.

I think it was Winner Player. Either that or butterflies. Well, this, like I said, this album possess something for everyone. I'm giving you 12, 13 tracks on the CD, 12 tracks on the album, and unlimited amount of tracks on the streaming platform. So, to speak, so you're getting three different approach on vinyl rather. So I would say, you're getting three different approach to the music. and it's a whole body of work

that aims to solidify dancer for the younger generation kids who born in 2000, 2010 and they love dance on music this is where it's coming from this is what we used to do it and this is what we want you to learn from it

and take a page from this so we keep our heritage solid and we keep our music banging that's all I'm asking. You feel like they're listening, the younger generation? Well, if they don't listen, other people will listen because at the end of the day, you know, you cannot say teachers didn't come your way to teach you.

Yeah. I was going to ask, what did you want the next generation of dance? Just preserve it. Preserve it. Preserve our rich culture, our rich heritage. It cannot be based on just keyboards and high frequencies songs. You have a cadence with our drums and our bass that we are joined to at the hip. Did you think people got too caught up with titles?

Because everybody at one point wanted to be the king of dancehall. I'm the king of dancehall. I'm the king of dancehall. Do you think it created too much of a, of a, of a, We are all kings in the dance, we're all kings in the hip-hop, we're all kings in R&B, you know. The father himself said, you know, you are all gods, but you shall die like men. So, I mean, this title, when I was growing up in my country, he used to have, you see posters on the light post, on the light poles and posters on the wall, the crowning of early black, the crowning of this entertainer,

the crowning, and these crownings were never something initiated by the individuals, was always something initiated by the outside factor. That is why the dance all was so important. The dancer chose who was king. Like Papa San, the dancer said, you are the fastestaka. Like ninja man, the dancer said, okay, we're going to give you the 14 gun panties.

You know, like yellow man, the dancer said, you are the king, king yellow. You know, this is not something I man ever see myself gravitating to us, because I'm a servant. You can't be two things. You know, and I want to serve my people. I want to be Lord and King over them.

A, all different things I'm on the upon. You did Driver A on the colors platform, the show that they placed on, like, YouTube and social. And the response that you got to it, I mean, you're one of the greatest. But people were, like, in awe of how great you sounded, how, I see people in the comments just talking about how, like, it brings back memories just watching you perform it. And then looking through their computers, when people come and they see you at the show to UBS Arena and all these different places, Does that... First reggae artists to sell up. Yeah, like, do you...

That feeling of, like, warming people's hearts in that way and connecting to so many of their memories. Like, what does that do for you when you're in there creating the music that you know is intentional? It's a great feeling because, you know, that there's a population out there and people out there who's expecting great works. I don't want to ever sit down and do a body of work

that I cannot wholeheartedly represent platforms like this. So we have to make sure that we take the time in the studio, make all the mistakes, do all the effing up in the studio. because there's a place where you spend time with experience so we can have a good end product like we're having now. So everything is factored in. Yes.

You know, it's not just a slam bam, thank you, mom's kind of situation. You know what I mean? A lot of thought goes into the music that we make for the people. A lot of production goes into the music that we make and that will never change. It's crazy that people are surprised by that when that is the way that you build great music in a great music career. Like even your breath control that you had when you were performing on a concert. colors, people were like, wowed by. And I'm like, but this is what artists that develop into the greatest.

This is what the dance song, holding the microphone in the dance song does. If you're in a dance song and you're singing and the crowd is with you, you cannot stop that song unless they say pull up. And they have the way of saying pull up, whether you're going to hear some shots in the air, or the fence is going to be laid flat on the ground, or you're going to hear so much nice. So, and it helped you to develop a good. bread control and a good long capacity to deliver. You know, it's crazy.

When you have an artist with that has legacy and catalog like you, it's so amazing to see that I feel like you almost get more now than you did when you first came out. To see you on the road, to see sold out shows, to see sold out arenas. How does that feel to see that from so many decades to where you are now that it still continue on is even more? Well, for my part, I must say. When I started out in this music, I started out playing in some 200 seats. My first concert in New York City was the Biltmore Ballroom.

Then I find myself playing the Hammerstein Ballroom, Rader City Musical. And I used to do, respect to David Levy, we did two shows in Madison Square Gardens in one night, one show at eight and one show at 11. I mean, I don't know if anyone remember those good old days when that used to be running harder, you know. We're happy knowing that we can still read. reach the masses. Most importantly, we are happy that the music that we make, surpass and last the test of time, that we can still sound like it's yesterday. It was made. All these things, excuse me, are important because you don't want to go around the microphone and sing

something and people say, oh man, you're singing the same songs all the time. So you've got to keep inventing yourself, back to my point, to keep it relevant strong. you know and you said at one time you said your mission's been the same since 1992 to uplift educate eradicate negativity from the minds of my people absolutely and feed them musically hasn't changed won't change won't change i will never change see i see ourselves as a last of the mohika you know i come from a time where like was discussing before where dance all was pivotal you know that's not happening anymore so we have to make sure that we impart this knowledge and the younger youths So see what Bojibanton is doing.

What did you want your legacy to be? When I really go with that something there, you know? I mean, on our plan to get rid of eye already.

Why did you answer like that? Because I was, I don't really, I don't really subscribe to them to them to. because people are frickly you know i grew up with that time when you have when talent speak no talent don't speak anymore as follower's voice you heard more than you're more than everything or anything else i don't go with that narrative you know we make our music and we hope that the music reaches the masses because when our work is done other people work is just going to start we have to move on and other people go and do the same thing you know i mean so we just do good works and leave the work and leave it in the either in the universe you know that's right well what record you want to hear of there

Talk to me. All righty, y'all. So this is very sad news. Malcolm Jamal Warner's widow. Her name is Tanisha Warner. She is currently suing his mom.

mother, Ms. Pamela Warner, who is the trustee of the Warner family estate following Malcolm Jamal Warner's passing for $1.2 million. Now, according to Tenetia, she's saying that Malcolm Jamal Warner, before he passed away, agreed to provide a bunch of different financial benefits under their pre-up agreement that they signed back in May of 2022, and that was just days before they got married. She says that Malcolm Jamal Warner, at the time where he was living, failed to follow through on several of their promises. Some of them included maintaining a $1 million life insurance policy, naming Tanisha, his current widow, as the beneficiary.

And she claims that he never purchased or maintained the policy. She's also talking about the fact that Malcolm Jamal Warner failed to make annual tax-free payments on a Roth IRA that they would have had. And because of that, she says that there's unpaid obligations totaling over a million million dollars, the 1.2 that she's asking for, including the life insurance policy and more than $50,000 in various payments. So she has had to sue the estate to do so. Now, of course, with all of the surrounding details about his passing and, you know, it's his mom and all the things. And we literally just talked about the anniversary of his passing on Monday, which is when this was filed.

There are a lot of people like, why would you do that? Why isn't this something that could have been settled privately? So Tenisha gave us a statement to People magazine and she said for the last year, She's attempted to privately settle her beloved husband's complicated estate and honor his last wishes. Malcolm had every intention to provide for our nine-year-old daughter and me. He was close to finalizing a new estate plan to replace the sale plan created in 1996 when he was 26 years old, 20 years before we met and well before we gave birth to our beautiful daughter. She says she's been struggling to care for her daughter as a single mom and now as a sole provider. And legally, she says she had no choice but to take action to protect their rights before the potential statute of limitation expired. And she's thanking people for support and understanding as they work through this.

But it's just really sad that this had to become public. Seems like she had to do it. Yeah. She had to make sure that their child was okay, right? Yeah. Yeah. Sucks. It does.

It really does, especially for his mom. And both of them, everybody's grieving at the same time that all of this is happening. Yeah. I don't even know how somebody can have an opinion on a situation like this. Because you don't even really know all the end-in-out. Yeah. You'd be so quick to judge people and, you know, characterize people

but you don't know why she's doing what she's doing it sucks but you know you want the end of the day you just want their child to be okay yeah yeah and I know you hear Malcolm's mom so that makes it even worse

like you know what I'm saying it's the players involved Malcolm's mom Malcolm's widow it's just like yeah but Malcolm's daughter yeah you can't you don't really have an opinion of that because you don't know all ends and outs

100% yeah well if there's anything that develops there will keep you guys updated now as we move on we're still talking about show business a bit Because Oprah, she sat down with Kiki Palmer for baby. This is Kiki Palmer.

Kiki Palmer has been getting a guest, okay? So they sat down and they talked about Oprah and her decision to own part of the Oprah show. She owned 50% of that show. I did not know that. Let's take a listen. Owning that show was the transition into me owning myself in so many ways. And that came about because I had nothing I wanted more in this world than being in the color purple. Yeah.

And when I went away to do the color purple, my bosses at the time said, you know, you only have two weeks vacation and I needed two months. I ended up giving all of my vacation for the entire contract. If you would just let me finish this movie, I said, this is in 1985. When it came time to renew that contract, my lawyer said, you never want to be in a position where you have to give up everything in order to sacrifice to do what you really want to do. What if you owned part of the show? This was Jeff Jacobs who said this to me. It means you'd have to take the risk yourself that maybe it wouldn't do as well

but you don't have to take a salary you would get whatever the show was going to make and I said sure because I believed in myself and the reason why I got the greatest percentage is because none of those guys thought it was going to be that successful if they thought it was that successful they would have never given me 50%. By the way if you didn't know that you don't listen to Oprah

Oprah has told that story a million times. I know she had ownership stake but I didn't know it was 50%. Yes I didn't know it was more I actually thought she had got like to like 90 at some point. Yeah. I thought later on she bought more into the show. She got more. But she talks about that story all the time.

Yeah, I didn't know that. And her early syndication days when she was just an employee, I think that was the number. But by the time, that show was super successful years later, she was like in the 90. I didn't. I think. I know it was a very, very high percentage. Well, she also talks a bit about the tabloids and her experience with that. Now it's the internet.

But, you know, there's been conversations about Oprah's weight. and why she never got married. And she admits that it actually used to get to her. And she had a phone and a friend, Maya Angelou. Let's take a listen. The tabloids were just wrecking me all the time. I was on the tabloids every week for either being too fat. She ate too much.

She ate a whole pie. She doesn't, you know, just making up lies about me all the time. Or is she getting married? Why he won't marry her? Now they split up for 20 freaking years. And I would call Maya and Maya would say, I remember being in the bathroom. I can't even remember what it was.

toilet seat down, sitting in the toilet, in the bathroom, calling Maya, and I was crying, and she was like, stop it, stop it now. And I was like, but you know what I'm saying? What I'm saying, is it? Stop it now. That was her favorite phrase. And I say, well, why is it? She said, I want you to say thank you because whatever it is you're going through, I don't even want to know what it is right now. I want you to know God has already put a rainbow in the cloud for you. You just got to wait to get to the other side where the rainbow is and say, say thank you because I know the rainbow is coming. Remember when Oprah came out on her show

and she had lost all that weight and she had it all in a wagon? Remember she had put like 70-something pounds in a wagon? And she pulled it out in the red wagon to show you what 70 pounds looked like. You don't remember that? That's creative. I don't remember nothing.

I don't even talk about. Yeah. Do you know Oprah's real name? Girl, no. Do you know Oprah's real name? I can't remember it. It's not Oprah. Yeah, it's not Oprah.

No, it's or pa. Orpa? Yes, even on her births, it's or pa, but she said that she switched it. People couldn't pronounce it. Yeah, that was another thing I learned to. So she changed it. No. No.

It's, no. If you look at how Oprah is spelled. People couldn't pronounce it. Oh, all of them damn ours? No, I just said that for it so I could pronounce it right. Like I had to spell it how I say it. I'm going to say it. No.

Oh. We got a rap. We'll play the clip later on the overtone. That was the latest. Yeah, that was the latest. She was the middle name? Yep. Oh, I didn't know her middle name.

Or Gayle Winfrey. Or pa. Yes. Shallah, man, who you give me your donkey to? Man, donkey today's coming up. Man, four after the hour. Let's talk crack. Okay, not just crack that you smoke, the crack that you have and this, the crack I got in my hand right here.

You see this? Yeah. Apple product. Crack. We'll discuss how crack makes you do strange things. All right. We'll get to that next. It's the breakfast club.

Good morning. Tell her. It's time for Donkey of the day. There's a bunch of donkeys out here in this street. I'll have a donkey today. Called donkey of the day. It really caught me off guard. If we live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may offend,

we never would say anything. Salamay, give it to him. Give it to him. You are a donkey. That is why Charlemagne is here. Some donkey todays just saw themselves. On the Breakfast Club. Okay, Charlemagne, who you're giving donkey of the day to today?

Well, donkey today for Wednesday, July 22nd, goes to a 33-year-old Delaware woman named Shedera Harris. And Shadera, like so many of us, is absolutely positively a junkie for Apple products. All right. Don't fight it. Don't deny it because the first sign of addiction is absolutely denial. We are 100% addicted to Apple's ecosystem. Okay, we are completely dependent on Apple products.

Don't believe me. Watch how you act if you can't find your phone. Okay. Watch how you act if you misplace your laptop. All right. Watch how you completely go through withdrawal-like symptoms if you feel like you lost your Apple watch. Your mood changes. You might start feeling depression and

anxiety. You might start sweating. You might even feel some aches and pains. You damn sure not going to be able to sleep or do anything until you locate whatever device you can't find. That's junkie behavior. Okay, we are fiends. The Apple logo might as well be a crack pipe. But then it wouldn't even be called Apple. It'd be called

crack. But I'm saying all that to say. Shadera Harris is currently being held in the Baylor Women's Correctional Institution and she has been charged with strong-arm burglary, conspiracy. terrorist terrorist threats and related offenses and it's all because of some

devil-dammed air pods. Okay, see Shadera went to Wendy's and allegedly attacked the worker and stole from the register and then came back to the scene of the crime because she lost her air pods. Do we have some of the audio from the fight?

I feel it. That's my shit. Or what? Or what? Get my money. What are you doing, sir? I didn't talk to them. I didn't want to tell you. I mean, I was going to get to me.

I'm a fucking bitch. Whoopey-ass bitch? Damn. Shadera was mad. She couldn't get a cash refund on her Wendy's order. Went behind the counter and took $15 from the register.

Swung on someone trying to stop her. Left the Wendy's. And when officers were at the scene investigating the crime she just committed. She came back to the Wendy's in search of some Apple AirPods. She left behind during the robbery.

But you got the nerve to call somebody else a goofy bitch? Right. Okay. Somewhere along the way, we stopped owning our Apple products and started letting them own us. What does that sound like? Crack! Okay? If this is a junkie behavior, I don't know

what is. A junkie will steal from you and then help you look for what they just stole while it's in their pocket. Okay, tell me what's the difference and what Shadera did. Robbed the Wendy's and came back to the Wendy's while police were on the scene to find her crack,

aka an Apple product. Okay, her attachment to the AirPods overrode her common sense, just like a person's attachment, the crack can override their common sense. Okay, I know it's easy to say she went to jail for some AirPods, but the reality is she went to jail because of an

of an addiction. Okay, mind you, it's a possibility. She really is. on drugs because robin Wendy's for $15 is insanity okay she didn't do her jail math because none of this adds up the money she's gonna have to spend on a lawyer a bond I know she don't got it because she took a penitentiary chance for $15 and she couldn't afford to leave those $200 air pods behind even risking coming back to the scene of the crime while the police was there to retrieve them okay something not right all right she might be addicted to more than Apple products

Listen, Apple makes great products. I just don't love them more than you love your freedom. Okay, of losing an AirPods can make you return to the scene of a crime. Maybe it's time to ask who's really in control. You, Apple, are the crack, okay? And I know what I'm about to say isn't even going to matter because we are way too gone off these Apple products already, but never let your attachment to material things cost you your freedom,

especially when the material thing is covered in earwax. at her mugshot. Did we put her mugshot up? Let me show you her mugshot. Let me show you her mugshot. I'm not doing that. Okay, look at, right. She is. Shut up. Look at her mugshot. You sound named Deasia Harris. Shadera Harris.

Shadera Harris. What I'm saying? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Let's just look at her mugshot. Like, I just know those AirPods had more waxed in the candle out of that home. Yeah. I mean, come up.

Please let Remi Ma'amot give Shadara Harris the biggest he-he. he-ha, he-ha, you stupid motherfucka you dumb. Neck tattoos. Little locks, baby locks. You know what I'm saying? It was dumb. Yeah, definitely dumb.

But. But what? Y'all didn't ever use it, lose an air pot. And you go look everywhere for that something? Not the crime scene. Not the scene of a crime. Them air pads are expensive. And if somebody bought it for her, she knows she's not going to get another one.

She only got one. I ran back on a plane. for one mon time. Oh, no, absolutely. And you're not even supposed to go back on a plane after you get all. I went back on a plane

looking for my little Air Potter piece. Crack. That's some expensive ass crack. And I was mad. I couldn't find it. I didn't buy, I ain't get a new one until Christmas.

Yeah, that's the crack. You can't lose. Crack. How about that? Coke ain't nothing but fried crack. No, but I'm saying it costs too much to be crack. Crack is cheap.

Crack is whack. Man, crack is addictive. Yeah, it is. So it was. I don't know. I ain't ever did nothing. If you got the money, I smoked, I smoked,

I smoked coke wards in the blood with some weed years. That was some real crack, though, because she raw Wendy's for $15. But it went back for that. It went back. That's what I'm trying to tell you. We're all addicted.

All right, but now, thank you so much for that dog in today. Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-105-10-1. We want to know, how do you talk to your daughter about being cheated on now? This conversation comes from where, Lauren?

This conversation comes from a three dope dads podcast. It's Mike Hill, Naime Lynn, comedian Naimelaim Lynn, and comedian Malik S. And they sit down, they talk about fatherhood and a bunch of different things. So Naim, throughout the hypothetical, like, how do you talk to your daughter? If she's

cheated on, what do you tell her to do? We'll break it down when we come back. We'll have that discussion. You got four daughters. I got four daughters. We'll talk about when we come back. I know that's right. You got a daughter just as a mom. You can talk about it too. I mean, I'm not a dad. But yeah, I definitely can talk Sorry about being children. The second time you don't call her man is.

No. I said, as a mom. You should have how did their dad talk to you on your back? Literally. You should have said, how did your dad talk to you about?

You got to stay. And Jeff is the only person in this room will be having you got her twice. You know what? Stop. Stop. Stop. That's what you should have.

That's what you should have. I can say it. She looked like actual name. Yes. That's right. Now you somebody daddy. It's the breakfast club. The Breakfast Club.

The Breakfast Club. to you by the law office of Michael S. Lamishoff. The results are in. Geico is New York's number one car insurance. Likely because of our savings. It's topic time. Call 800585105151 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody is DJ Envi just hilarious.

Salomey Nagar. We are the Breakfast Club. Longerosa is here as well. If you're just joining us, we're opening up the phone lines 800, 585105.151. We're asking how do you talk to your daughter about being cheated on? That is the question. Now this conversation comes from where, Lauren? Three Dope Dads podcast with Naim Lynn, Mike Hill, and Malik S. All right, let's hear.

Daughter comes in, she catches a boyfriend cheating. Oh. Comes in, talks to you about it. What's your conversation? I see the love that she has from him. And this is her first meaningful relationship. This is a young dude, good looking dude, right? And they look good together.

So you got the hose. And I'm like, yeah. And there's a woman that's going to be on, right? And there's a part of me that's like, please don't fuck it up. But if he did, knowing what I've done in my past when I was young, right? Right.

I wouldn't have that conversation with him. I would have the conversation with my daughter. Right. And the conversation is not leave him. It's like, listen, people do things. This happens sometimes. And you really have to decide when you've had enough. If you decide that you want to get back with him

and give him another chance, then I support whatever you want to do. but you will know when you've had enough and no matter how many times he breaks your heart or hurts you, I'm here for you to talk to. There's a part of me that's like, I can't seem like you said, I can't be a hypocrite, can't say anything about it,

can't get pissed off, can't get mad about it. But there's also a part of me that's scared because I'm like, man, ain't nobody ever hurt me. Is this my car? So we're asking 800-585-105-1. How do you talk to your daughter about being cheated on? And like I think Naeem said, or one of the brothers said that, you know,

he had a pass and I have as well. the great thing with having four girls, especially Madison, who is my older, she's 24, is I have real conversations with her about the way men think and what guys done and what I've done in the past. And I remember one time she was in Martha's Vineyard. She was with her boyfriend before Andrew. And her boyfriend said, let me see your phone. So she gave him the phone. So Madison was like, let me see her phone. And the boy said, I had one second and ran upstairs on top of the boat.

And when she came back home, she told me. And I said, well, you know why he ran upstairs on that boat, right? And she was like, no, why? Explosive diarice. No, it wasn't explosive diarrhea. It was like because he didn't want to give you that phone. Yeah. Whatever was in that phone he did not want you to see.

He ran upstairs and deleted it and made sure it wasn't there and then came back and gave it to you. I said, but it's just teaching your daughters the game. Just like, you know, you would want them to see things beforehand. You want your daughter to be aware and think like a guy would think so she's always aware what's going on. That's how I do in my household. So I have those conversations early on with Madison so she understands so she knows, she

knows what to look for. She knows what to see. And hopefully, in their relationship, she never has to deal with it. And it seems like her and Andrew are great. And he's a wonderful dude. But just in case, I just want her to see the signs. Yeah. I don't think there's nothing wrong with that. My dad never had

a conversation specifically about guys cheating and what I'm supposed to do after that. I mean, I just already... What about you cheating on guys? That was like, my first real relationship was Jerome, like my son's father. And my dad didn't specifically talked to me about

getting cheated on, but he already saw the signs that Rome would do that and just was like, yo, don't be stupid. But do you wish he did have those conversations with you? No, because I already knew what to do. Anyway, like, you know, I could have seen behavior modeled. When you love sometimes, what a guy says

you believe and you don't even think twice about it because it's your heart speaking and not necessarily in mind. Yeah. Nope. My dad never touched on that, but the thing is I already knew that it was a real breaker for me anyway. And I got cheated on, I think I started doing it.

I became a good cheater learning from Jerome. Learning from Rome, you know what I mean? Like, I ain't never cheat on him. He cheated on me, but that caused me to cheat in a lot of relationships. Everything he did wrong. You said, I'm not going to do. Right, right, exactly. So, yeah.

What about you, Charlotte? You got four daughters? Yeah, my oldest is 18. And I got a 10-year-old or 7-year-old and the 4-year-old. So it's still hypothetical. Which 18-year is going to be dating if she's not dating already? I mean, and that's the other thing. Like, what kind of cheating are we talking about?

Like, when you talk about Mike Hill's daughter, was she married? Was she just in a relationship? I don't know. Mike Hill's daughter wasn't cheated on. He was just saying how much he sees, like, how she's into him. So her heart would be broken. He has two daughters. One of his daughters are, I think, 24 and 27, I believe.

What would the conversation be like? I mean, yeah, for me, I guess I don't know if I would or could. Because if my daughter came to me and spoke to me about being cheated on, that's a moment where I feel like I would just listen. Because I think that's one of those moments when you have to recognize your daughter as an adult and she has to make her own decisions. I can tell her what happened in my life, you know, with myself and her mother. But that's not a decision I can make for her. I don't even know what advice I would give her.

He cheated on you. I think I would just listen in that moment and, you know, tell her my experiences and let her make her own decision because she's an adult. Would you tell her your heart? Would you tell her things that guys do and things to look out for? But that's why I said. I would tell her my life experiences. I would tell her things that happened between me. and, you know, her mother.

But I wouldn't give her no advice to leave our state. That's the decision she has to make on her own as an adult. But I'm just talking more of the advice of seeing things from a different view, right? Because sometimes when you're in love, you look over certain things.

And being your daughter's, of course, parent, father, and also being a friend, you want her to understand that is, you know? Yeah, absolutely. I would ask you, but leave me alone. Not today. All right. What about your grandfather?

He's not alive. anymore but my great no no it's fine he was older he lived a great life but my granddad though he did used to be really involved he didn't care for my ex at all that's so cool at all but he took care he helped take care for when he was here on earth he did he didn't care for my ex at all he he didn't he didn't get involved he would just listen and he would he used to tell me you got to think about what do you value yourself because some things I'm watching I don't think you value yourself right now and you value yourself you won't have to come to me and talk about anything that's what you used to tell period hello who's this what's going on nivie this shah he's

Jersey City. Shahi, Jersey City. What's up? What's all I mean? What's up? What's up? Good morning. Yo, Jersey City floods out so crazy when it rains.

Like, it's disrespectful. Yeah, it is wild. Yeah, it was crazy. It was crazy the other day. But talk to us. What's your thought, bro? All right. So check it out, right?

What we have to understand is the act of betrayal itself, which is what cheating is. It cannot be looked at as gender-based when talking to your children. It has to be looked at as an act of betrayal. So you want to let you. daughter understand that you have been betrayed by someone who made you believe that they would never betray you. I understand it hurts. I understand you feel bad.

You may also feel insecure after this. But what you have to understand is that this person made you believe that you were special and that showed you exactly who they were. You laying it on too thick now because what about when she hits you with daddy. So you betrayed mommy. Yeah. Didn't you love mommy daddy? What? So you're laying it on too thick now.

See you're a little too much too just. You should do that. Everybody ain't got that experience, though. You gotta be self-in-ware to them. But Charlamagne, I'll talk about relationships for 30 years. I actually wrote a book on relationships as well.

Okay. What you have to understand is that they have to understand the betrayal itself. They think that cheating, I'm cheating, I'm worthless. No, that person is worthless who cheated on you.

You're not worthless. That worthless person is the person who cheated on you and cheated on the relationship and cheated on the idea that you have around the relationships. When you look at it as being betrayed and not cheated on, it makes you understand it better

because nobody wants betrayal. You know, this thing is a therapist, bro. So how can you ask... So how can you ask a person to forgive you for betrayal? Yeah. You can ask them all you want to, but you're not going to really feel

like you didn't forgive that. You're giving what you want because the betrayal is there. I don't agree with it. But what about redemption? Exactly. I don't know. how we got down to this role.

All we were trying to do is... You can... You can... You can get the redemption, but you're never going to forget. That's what people don't get. You can't forgive. But the person who's been cheated on,

they'll never forget. No, they'll never forget. That's why the best apology is always... It's changing behavior. I don't even know how we got there. It just was a conversation about talking to your daughter about being cheated on it.

I mean, he's not wrong, but I'm just saying you can't lay it on that thing. It's a betrayal. And, you know, you can not come back from the death. Like, no, God be talking about, bro. This is the... Be gay after that, now, you know what I need dealing with the guys there?

No, I'm just saying... 8005-105-1. How do you talk to your daughter about being cheated on? That is the question. Now, if you're just joining us, to open up the phone lines, 800-585-105-1, we're asking, how do you talk to your daughter about being cheated on?

Now, that is the question we've asked. It came from where, Lauren? It came from the Three Dope Dads podcast with Naim Lynn, comedian Naim Lein, M-Eyke S and Mike. All right, so we have PJ. PJ, you on the phone? Yeah, I'm on the phone, but how are you doing?

What's up, brother? Talk to us. Good morning, PJ. Good morning, to you. Good morning. Good morning. I've been watching a long time, a long time. Appreciate you, PJ.

You've been listening to a long time, PJ. I've been listening to a long time. Back in the day, dog, I'm 60 years old. Oh, wow. You were in your 40s, bro. You was in your 40s when we first started Breakfast Club. That's what I'm trying to say. Biggie and all that.

I see it all. We ain't that old, don't. You never interview big, brother. Not that old. You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying. I know what you're saying. All right.

Talk to us. What's your thoughts, brother? So you got to, if you have daughters, they, they're older. Way older. I got three daughters. My oldest daughter, my oldest daughter is 36. Yep. My youngest daughter is 30.

Okay. So how was that conversation about talking to them about cheating, brother? Man, I've been in the game and I tell them exactly what's going on because I know I am. How you was or how you are? I gotta let him know. To what you let them know, play and player. I let them know the truth. I let them know how men are.

I let them know how deceiving they are. I know how I am. Also, you can't even generalize like that. Like, you know what I mean? Like there are some really good guys out here who were not moving the way we were moving when we were younger. Right.

You know what I'm saying? So you can't generalize all men. I can tell you how men are. Like that's why I say everybody's experience is different. That's why I have my, When my daughters get to that age where they're coming to me, talking to me about stuff like that, I feel like the only thing I can do is listen.

That's it. Like, I even look at it, and I'm bringing Madison back in her fiance, Andrew, he's so much more grown than I was at his age. Like, he only wants to go out when they go out together. He just plays basketball and video games.

That's it. Like, he outside does not exist. He'd rather, let's watch a scary movie. Let's watch, like, he's like that. Let's play a game. Like, he is like that. I wasn't like that at his age. I was outside.

Out here in them cheeks! God damn, you could have just said discreet. That was, I don't know about cheeks. Oh, wow here in the streets. Sorry. And then, you know, you're up in the 90s in New York. So, cheeks, you don't even know what cheeks we're talking about here. What you said?

How you said, DJ Koo used to be? Could have been a combination of cheeks. You know what to me? Koo, Koo, Koo, Koo. Like that me and you used to be out together. So with me and your cheeks, that's what you're saying? What, NB, everybody already know we gay, bro? All right.

You're right. Like, we know that already. What's the moral of the story? We're gay? No, no. No. No. I mean, the cheese story.

The moral of the story is, yeah, like he said, you can't generalize how all men are. You can't. You can't. Yeah, you just got to listen. Most dads will just listen because I do remember going to my dad telling him that somebody cheated. Oh, yeah, telling him Rome cheated on me. And I know my dad wanted to be like, I told you.

I told you. He's a diva. He's in competition with you. So, yeah, that's what my father used to say about Rome. And I could be wrong, but there's no advice you can give a woman. when it comes to a matter of the heart. You know what I'm saying? Like her girlfriend's going to be telling her lead that dude.

Her parents could be telling her, but if she feel like she shouldn't, she's not. So what are you going to say? I'm just, I'm really just, that's a moment. As a father, I'm just going to listen and, you know, share some experiences that I've been through. And that's it. But she got to make her own decisions.

All right. All right. When we come back, we got the latest with Lauren? We do. There's an update with Wendy Williams. That any lawsuit over the Wendy Williams documentary has been settled. So we're going to talk about that. That a bit.

Lauren becoming a straight fan. She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the detail. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.

She'd be having the latest on this. The latest with Lauren La Rosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the latest. Brought to you by Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. All righty, y'all.

So Wendy Williams, you guys remember the Where is Wendy Williams doc that Lifetime A&E aired? And there was a lawsuit. So Wendy Williams, guardian, a woman by the name of Sabrina Morrissey, had filed a lawsuit against A&E in Lifetime. She said it was on Wendy Williams' behalf because she says that there was no valid contract that was in place when Wendy Williams filmed that doc. Now, that doc showcased about two years of Wendy's life leading up to the time when she went into the guardianship. I'm sorry, during the time when she first had gotten leading up to, when she got into the guardianship,

Wendy did not look good in that documentary. She was still drinking, her health was declining. And what they alleged in the original filing was like, there's no way you could have signed a contract, a valid one with anybody that was in the state that Wendy Williams was in. The Guardian tried to stop the documentary from airing in the beginning. That didn't work. It aired. And then she sued saying that Wendy only received $82,000 from the doc

while the network made millions. So she wanted the money from that documentary to go to Wendy Williams because Wendy needed to take care of herself moving forward. Now, that lawsuit has been settled. Now, before we get into the settlement, I want to play a clip. The last time we talked to Wendy Williams about this lawsuit, I want you guys to hear her sentiments. Let's take a listen.

What's up with the Lifetime lawsuit, Wendy? I love Lifetime. Are you serious? So you still don't? Oh, God. Oh, wait, I can't do so much talking. But look, I love Lifetime. Lifetime has been good to me.

When I get out of guardianship, if Lifetime's what they want, let's talk the ducket. Let's talk about the money. Let's talk about what I'd be doing. But your guardian is suing them. Oh, well, she's going to look, I'm on the wrong team. Just like my guardian person as well as the judge. They tell me, oh, my gosh, Wendy, you stand to get $20 million.

Oh, what do I want with $20 million when it has, first of all, look, just stop. How much money will be going to you and you and you and you? By the time I have to pay everybody, I end up with $1. She's not wrong. Yeah. Yeah. So she said that she stood to win $20 million from this situation. We don't have details of how.

But it would end up going to all of those people. All of those people. We don't have details on what was divided where and how that happened. But what we do know is that there was a settlement. And yes, there are going to be other people that are paid in this. Such a sad story. Very sad story. Because what's also still happening is Wendy is still fighting actively to get out of a conservatorship that we know of.

Did you read the stuff in Rolling Stone about what is covering? Yes. So, yeah, so I mentioned it in the beginning, but according to the documents that were listed, Sabrina was asking for all of the proceeds for the doctor go to Wendy. In the document, she says, Wendy will need significant funding to provide for proper medical care and supervision for the rest of her life. So they're making it seem as if all this money will go to Wendy for that. And it should because this document, obviously they profited.

The documentary was huge for lifetime. But we just don't know how much that will be because so many people are always in this. It'll cover the settlement agreement. attorney fees, the cost of Wendy's attorneys, and the proposed distribution of any settlement. That money that they will be walking away with after all that. Which Wendy, like I just played that clip, that clip was from a year ago.

Wendy understood that a year ago that all those people would need to be paid before she even got to see any profit. I just hope Wendy has a huge nest egg because I'm sure that facility is very expensive. I'm sure fighting these attorneys and continue this long-ass fight is very expensive. Well, Sabrina's over her finance. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, but I hope she has

enough. So what happens when that money runs out? If it runs out, like where does she live after that because that facility is expensive. And she already stole what? Her apartment here? Yeah, I believe she saw her apartment. Yeah, she got rid of the house in Jersey a while ago. Yeah, so yeah, yep. Now in other news and updates,

so you got, we didn't talk about this, but during that whole Jay-Z weekend that was happening in New York, there was an older gentleman, a 63-year-old man that it ran into, in his car. It ran into the gate of one of Jayze and Beyonce's Hampton houses. So he's actually been charged now. he was criminally charged with mischief and there's a misdemeanor criminal trespassing

charge after a security guard and it was reported that they saw this man driving his Cibiru through a reinforced gate on the couple's property now people at the time were reporting his guy when he got out of the car he was like very confused didn't really know what was happening

he was in the area because a day or so prior to that he had looked at a home in the area but yeah the update there is that he's actually been criminally charged now so So like was he drunk? Like what do you mean? He crashed into it? He ran and said they, yeah.

All that we know is they said that he was confused, that the security guard saw the cargo into the gate. He was traveling at a high rate of speed. And yeah. Yeah. So they asked him to get out of the vehicle. He got out with no issue. And then they placed him on the ground and put him under arrest.

Yes. So small update there. And that's the latest for the hour. It's brought to you by Top Dog Law. Any accident, Big or Small? Call Top Dog Law. Can that guy call who ran into the gate? Oh, that was his fault, so he can't really.

That wasn't really an accident. I don't know what got him. What made of. He was just control. I don't know the details of that yet. 63 years old. Yeah, but they don't know if it was malice or if he was just fell asleep or if it was a medical condition, right? Because I know they did a restraining order just because just the case.

Yeah, but Good Morning America's reporting this morning said that some of the reports or some of the things that they were being told was that they didn't believe that there was any, like, ill intention. Anyone like he didn't know who's house? Damn. Hmm. You would ask him, hey, what was you doing, buddy? What happened? All right. I'm probably able to told you.

All right. Well, let's get to the mix. That was the latest with Lauren. And salute to 50 Cent again. Last night, I was at the premiere of his new show on Stars Fightland. Right, Land. Pretty dope show comes out July 31st. I got a chance to talk to Fifth last night.

I've seen Natory Norton. She sends her love. I love her last night. Sherry Shepherd was there as well. She sends her love as well. A couple of the actors. It's based out of the UK. So I asked fifth, like, so you're always in all your own is.

Are you in this one? He said, I couldn't get the voice down, bloke. So he said he would have got the voice that he would have been in it. But saluted, it comes out July 31st. So I had a great job last night. 50 woke up while in this morning. I'll tell you that. That's why I asked you last night was 50 on BS.

And what was he saying? He woke up while in this morning. He actually wasn't on BS. He was happy. He was happy to new show. He said, this is going to be another hit. He was in a good show. Well, he's been talking about Rick Ross in those 2000 first week sales for the last

Camito. Is that true? Is that true? I saw a report that, from Hot New Hipop, that Rick Ross's first week sales or projection are 2000, it's 2000.

Yeah, for the project that he just dropped. Oh, so that is true. Yeah, but now, according to reports. It's a projection. Yeah. All right.

And he went to the after party ended at 4 or 5 o'clock, so he means he still ain't go to sleep. He didn't do that all the time. I mean, sure he'd do that all the time. All right. Well, Mr. Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Shalameen the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now last night, I got a chance to host a red carpet for 50s premiere show, his new show, Fightland. And I got a chance to chop it up with 50, and he breaks down what the show is about. It's exciting.

This one is a UK-based show. I got all the Bathurst to direct it. So the first two episodes he did, they may know him from Pinky Blinder or Black Mirror, you know, but he's really dope. And then I got, like, the other guys that I got to do throughout the season, it's like top-nodge, bro. So you're going to see this one is going to feel like it's a grade better than what I did in power. Really? I promised that. Did you ever get nervous the fact that you're bringing a UK-based show to America and how it would transcend and translate to people?

No, I think it's easier. Why? Because here, we'll embrace the characters and know that we don't know that world. So we can just get into it, immerse ourselves into it. But I think the flaws in the characters are what people relate to. So you see, like, Canaan, it creates its own spinoff. Correct. because of how damage he was.

And then you see Raising Canaan being a huge successful project. It's like season five at the present moment. Well, there you have it. Check it out July 31st, Fightland on Stars. Just letting you guys know two days away for my car show. And Hampton, super duper excited. It's to drive your dreams car show. So I can't wait to see you guys.
