Good morning, rather. I went to sleep, right? And I had my Invisalign in. I went to sleep like 10, about 30 minutes past my bedtime. And when I woke up this morning, you know, just habits. You go to take your Invisalign out, you can brush your teeth and stuff. I ain't had no top Invisalign in. I only had the bottom.

You swallowed. Man, shut up. Like, I really have no idea what my top Invisalign went. I just woke up with just the bottom and no top. So, whichever one of my extraterrestrial cousins who visited me last night and took my Invisalign, please bring it back. You swallowed.

I thought it was a sign. When I woke up with just my bottoms in this morning, I was like, that's a sign. I felt good, you know. That's a sign. I did a couple of push-ups this morning, threw some new clothes on, so I was like, okay, all right. That's a sign.

No guest host today. Just Charlamagne and myself holding it down. We doing it like we do it for TV because we are doing it for TV.

You can start on April 17th. You can watch The Breakfast Club every morning on BET and VH1. Yes, and BET Plus a couple of days later. Yep. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. We got front page news up next. And, yes, we're going to be talking about Donald Trump. Teslin Figaro will be joining us, so don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get some front page news we have teslan figueroa on the line hey tes good morning good morning breakfast club family let's jump right into it donald trump is he going to jail what's happening with donald trump yeah let's jump right into it. A New York grand jury voted to indict former President Donald Trump in connection with a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. Now, Trump is the first former U.S. president to be charged with a crime. He has, of course, denied any wrongdoing. Now, this story is continuing to develop develop so that means things will change but let's take a listen on how donald trump was surprised on yesterday they're still digesting

the news down at mar-a-lago uh they really were caught very much by surprise uh by the fact of this happening i can't stress that enough now will come the you know the delicate arrangements around a surrender uh which you know trump's lawyer, Joe Takapina, said he is going to do willingly, surrender in any form. It's not something Donald Trump likes to do, I think, let alone this one. But that is where we are going to go with this next, and that will, I suspect, happen in the coming days. And I think Trump will try to use the weekend

to sway public opinion as much as possible. That's his go-to move, Wolf. It has always been his go-to move. He was trying it with what was essentially an intimidation campaign against Alvin Bragg in the last two weeks. It clearly did not work. Tez, how was he caught by surprise when he told us that he was being arrested a couple weeks ago? Yes, exactly. How was he caught by surprise?

Exactly. He's the one that told us it was happening but you know the story reported as as we you know you and i was dialoguing about it that uh the grand jury was out gonna take a month out and so now a month of vacation away from the case so uh now that has changed and it just got real yeah i can't believe it i'm gonna be honest i don't know i don't i never believed in this country's ability to hold whiteness on that level accountable for anything. Yet, here we are. Yeah, here we are. And just for clarity, being indicted versus actually being found guilty and going to jail are three completely different things.

So we're going to have to look at this step by step. Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, had a lot to say about it as well. And he said if it was good enough for him to do the crime and do the time, then he believes Donald Trump should do the same. He was doing a little bit of cap, though, when he was saying I take no pride in this happening. Come on, knock it off, Michael Cohen. You went on an entire tour to make sure

that he got this charge. So we'll just see how it continues to develop and we'll cover it right here on The Breakfast Club. If you commit a crime, you should definitely be held accountable. But I don't know. This doesn't feel big enough to indict a former president. No, it doesn't. It just doesn't.

And I see everybody celebrating. I think y'all dragging it a little. Because these charges, as far as we know, don't seem to be that major. Strong, no. Not at all. Well, like they keep reiterating over and over you know crime is still a crime whether it's small or or or a big crime and i had cohen pointed pointed that out as well he said you know they didn't get mob bosses on murder they got them

on tax evasion so you know true this is you know that i believe georgia's still gonna uh also you know indict him as well so the story's not over you can, you know, he can still be charged at the federal level. He can still be charged in Georgia. So we're going to see how it falls. But as of now, he has been indicted in New York. All right. Well, thank you, Ms. Taz. And we'll see you in about 60 minutes.

Absolutely. All right. Now get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. It's Friday. It's been a little bit. All vent, phone lines are wide open. It's Friday. Vent a little bit. All right, call us up right now.

If me and Tyrese ever do a celebrity boxing match, I am not giving that money to charity. I'm giving that money to myself. And I'll donate to some charities like I always do. But I need to get some. If I got to spend that much time with Tyrese, I need to get compensated for it. Nah, man.

Yeah, me, you, and everybody else. All that listening. That's right. That's right. I respect that. Hey, listen. I want to talk about something. Yesterday, you guys gave a girl a shot to announce something on the radio.

She was talking about she wanted to guest host. Yeah, yeah, I remember. Can you count me down? Count you down. Go ahead, Charlamagne. Count me down. I want to practice. Because y'all gave her an opportunity.

You never gave me an opportunity. All right. 2-1. 2-1. Go. All right. All right. Well, let's talk about the G-Unit boss himself, Mr. 50 Cent. In one of his IG posts celebrating the fact that he had signed some major deals

with these sports franchises such as the Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves. Stop, stop, stop. See, the problem with what you're doing right now, you sound like a news reporter. You got to have more of a conversational tone. Like how we just talking right now. Yeah, you switched up on us. Yeah, you don't even sound like yourself. Well, you know what I did, Charlamagne? I've been studying studying you guys and i decided to take some notes so that's why i wrote

down some notes you know who sounds like that nobody no no you guys sound very professional so because i've never done something like that i figured let me study the great charlamagne the great envy and and just write down some notes and then try my thing on the breakfast. Yeah, I'm giving you some pointers. You just need to have a more conversational tone. Just talk the same way you would pull up in the garbage truck and talk to your folks. That's how you pull up and talk to us. You know what I mean?

I appreciate it. So, Sean, let me ask you a question, brother. I just started my own podcast called A Doll in a Dream. Do you think one day you could give me a, like, an interview, sir? No. It's called A Doll in a Dream. Do you think one day you could give me, like, a interview, sir? You know? I don't know, brother. Maybe.

I never say never. I didn't hang up on you, Port-A-Party guy. That was envy. That was not. Okay? I would never do that. I don't know. Get it off your chest.

You just laughed at him when he asked you for it. No, because it's just, I don't know if people realize how much of a common request that is nowadays for people to be like yo will you come do my podcast and I think that you know the first thing that you should think about when you ask somebody that is how does your your podcast benefit that person you understand what I'm saying because the reality is whenever people come to any of these platforms they're coming to these platforms because it's mutually beneficial you know what I'm saying? Yep. Because the reality is whenever people come to any of these platforms, they're coming to these platforms because it's mutually beneficial. You know what I mean? It's beneficial for us to have somebody on and it's beneficial to them because of the

massive audience. So ask yourself, why would this person, how could I benefit them by them being on my podcast? I mean, that's just a common question because that's what we think about, right? Absolutely. All right. Get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent hit us up now it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club

Show him the fit. No. Stand up and show him the fit.

If you're going to dress like that, stand up and show him the whole fit. Why? Every time you walk by me when I have this outfit on, you look to see if I got on pants or not. Are you allowed to be dressed as a cowboy when you're a Giants fan? Not that. Think about that one. I'm not that type of cowboy.

You know what Giants fans used to call a gay cowboy? What? Tony. Never mind. You know what? Let's get to the rumors. Let's go. I'm not that type of cowboy. You know what Giants fans used to call a gay cowboy? What? Tony, never mind. You know what? Let's get to the rumors. Let's go. I hate him, man. Rumor hazard.

Rumor hazard. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I am gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes. On The Breakfast Club.

All right. Now, we're talking Jonathan Majors. Now, Jonathan Majors' lawyer shows text messages from the alleged victim. Now, here's the messages. You know, he's been saying from the start that his client actually did absolutely positively nothing. They're saying that his client actually called the police to check on the girl to make sure she was okay. Well, this is what the text messages say. Please let them know you're okay when you get this. Please let them know you're okay when you get this.

Please let me know you're okay when you get this. They assure me that you won't be charged. They say they had to arrest you as protocol when they saw the injuries on me and they knew we had a fight. I'm so angry that they did. And I'm sorry you're in this position. We'll make sure nothing happens about this. I told them it was my fault for trying to grab your phone.

I only just got out of the hospital. Just call me when you're out. What is going on? I love you. This is the message from the alleged victim. Then she says,

they just called again to check on me and I reiterated how this was not an attack and they did not have my blessing on any charges being placed. I read the paper.

They gave me about, they talked about strangulation and I said, point blank. This did not occur and should be removed immediately. The judge is definitely going to be told this. She ensured this to me. I know you have the best team and there's nothing to worry about. I just want you to know that I'm doing all that i can on my end i also said to tell the judge to know that the origin of the call was to do with me collapsing and passing out and your worry as my partner due to our communication prior out of care she promised

all this will be relayed he should fire that lawyer because i don't like to see lawyers moving like twitter ninjas like what is this the law firm of shade room and hollywood unlocked like why is the lawyer releasing uh screenshots to the public exactly who you care about the court of law the court of public opinion like i guess both i guess because you know public opinion will you know is the reason why they pulled the army ad i'm sure it's probably the reason why they're going to pull a bunch of other things until he's until his day is in court cares about the court of public opinion uh clear that man in the court of law you know and then that's why you that's why you are uh innocent until proven guilty but what is the point of releasing those screenshots i i don't understand that in any way shape or form i read that yesterday it was completely

confused there was no context to him whatsoever did the lawyer release a statement with him that's weird to me bro very weird Some things need to stay old school. And court cases and attorneys and how they move is definitely one of those things that need to stay old school. Because that seemed like some, you know, like I said, that's like some new school Twitter ninja stuff. Release the screenshots. Why? Now, three men have been arrested in the attack of Tekashi69 inside a Florida gym. Three men were arrested uh rafael

medina 43 and anthony uh maladano 25 and octavius medina 23 were all being booked into palm beach county jail on robbery and assault charges oh they charged him a robbery what'd they take uh they're not saying what he took but they said it was a robbery and assault charges interesting i don't know they hit him with a robbery i didn't i don't know what they took now they saying his alleged attackers are due to appear in court this friday according to uh wptv well they did commit a crime but i wonder since he's a governmental informant if there's different charges probably not because you they do you'd. You'd have read them just now. You know what I mean?

But listen, they did commit a crime. You can't act like they didn't commit a crime. Regardless of if you want to applaud what they did or not, they did commit a crime, and they did commit a crime on camera. One of those guys even said, hey, turn the camera on. I want to be famous too. So now you've got to deal with the consequences of that. Yeah, and I didn't understand why they did that,

because it was their footage that actually came out. Because they told you. He said he wanted to be famous. Yeah, but why do that? You want to go to jail too? Yeah, you could but why do that you want to go to jail too yeah you could be famous but you want to go to jail you want to pay a lawyer you want to go do some time you want to do community service that makes no sense here's the thing some people are willing to take those charges when they really want to get you you understand what i'm saying yeah but you know how when they talk about the school shooters and how those school shooters are just already they know they're going to die like they know they're going to commit suicide they're going to get killed that's how some of

those guys move too they like look we need to get killed. That's how some of those guys move, too. They're like, look, we need to get this dude. We don't care what happens. We're willing to deal with the consequences of going to put hands and feet on this young man. Jesus. So they got to deal with those consequences. Okay. All right.

You think they're going to start a GoFundMe? Yeah. I think Boosie wanted to start a GoFundMe. All right. So? They're going to need it because they got to pay for lawyers. They're going to definitely have to pay for lawyers and bail. Yeah.

That's right. They're definitely going to need it. Unless they got it already. They They're going to definitely have to pay for lawyers and bail. Yeah, that's right. They're definitely going to need it unless they got it already. They might have it, but yeah, and that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, I can't believe you're not giving

nobody no context to this outfit you're wearing. You're just sitting here. I understand you don't understand the word context, but still. I know context. No, you don't.

Yes, I do. But why? I fought context. And he won. Yeah, he won the first match. Oh, she won. Yeah, I'm going to get it the second time.

No, I tell you, I'm doing a car show in Memphis May 28th. And shout out to everybody for... Nobody in Memphis dresses like that. No, nobody in Memphis dresses like that. But I just want to say shout out to everybody that's got your tickets for Memphis car show May 28th. It's Memorial Weekend. Of course, celebrity cars.

No, there's going to be rides and jumpies for the kids. There's going to be food and all that. So the next city that we're going to announce after Memphis is Houston. And this is my Houston. Can you focus? Why can't you focus? What do you mean? You're still doing Memphis.

Why are you jumping to Houston already? I'm starting the promo for Houston. I'm just taping it now. You're very confusing. No, I'm not. This has nothing to do. It shouldn't even have been on air. I was trying to get it off before I got back on air,

but I couldn't get the stirrups off. But, yeah, I'm just starting to tape and getting ready for Houston. By the way, nobody in Houston dresses like that either. That is a stereotypical Houston outfit. You doing what New Yorkers do when they trying to make fun of Southerners. That is a stereotypical Texas outfit

you have on. I ain't never seen none of them brothers in no damn stirrups. Not every New Yorker wears Timbs. And that's not even a cowboy hat. That is an Australian outback hat that you have on, you freaking idiot. That's all they had online. You're disrespectful.

That's all they had online. You're disrespectful. Everybody in New York don't wear Timberlands. Well, maybe we do. Everybody in New York don't wear Air Force. Well, maybe we do.

That is a lie. Everybody in New York don't wear Yankee. Yeah, they wear Yankee for this. Every stereotype about New York is true. But what you're doing

right now is disrespectful to Texas. Just want to throw that out there. You don't even have a cowboy hat on, bro. This is a cowboy hat. No, it's not. That is an Australian Outback Crocodile D hat. When I bought it online, it said cowboy hat.

Man, you took them stirrups off like you wore them before. Yo, shut up. He did. Like, listen. Have you ever seen somebody take off a bra? They have the difficulty taking the bra off. Like, whenever my wife has me take a bra off, it's difficult for me sometimes, right? Like, really to put it on. You took them stirrups off easily just now that was

For more information, visit usa.afronation.com.

Good morning, everybody. It's EJ, Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for some front page news and we got tesla and figaro back with us this morning good morning tes good morning breakfast club family are we sending donald trump to jail or what i don't know we're going to see but before we get started today is the last day of women's history month i want to pay some homage quickly to civil rights leader fannie Lou Hamer.

And so, like everybody else, I'd had stories planned and then the world changed yesterday afternoon. A New York grand jury voted to indict former President Donald Trump in connection with a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. Now, Trump is the first former U.S. president to be charged with a crime. And of course, he has denied any wrongdoing. Now, the story is still developing. That means things will constantly change. Sources say that Donald Trump was surprised by yesterday's indictment. Take a listen. They're still digesting the news down at Mar-a-Lago. They really were caught very much by surprise by the fact of this happening. I can't stress that enough. Now will come the, you know, the delicate arrangements around a surrender, which, you know,

Trump's lawyer, Joe Takapina, said he is going to do willingly surrender in any form. It's not something Donald Trump likes to do, I think, let alone this one. But that is where we are going to go with this next. And that will, I suspect, happen in the coming days. And I think Trump will try to use the weekend to sway public opinion as much as possible. That's his go to move. Well, if it has always been his go to move, he was trying it with what was essentially an intimidation campaign against Alvin Bragg in the last two weeks. It clearly did not work. I mean, there's no way there's no way he could be surprised by the indictment.

He's the one who told us that he was getting arrested two weeks ago. That is true. Right. I think he's surprised that he was expecting it to be, you know, obviously last week. And like we heard in the clip, they thought that the jury would be the jury would be out and surprised, surprised they were not out. They were in and they were processing that paperwork. So Michael Cohen, the one-time attorney, a former president, Donald Trump and key witness in the Manhattan district attorney's case said on Thursday that he believes Trump is petrified over his indictment. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. He's seething and to the world. He wants to again, appear to have this thick skin. He's not thick skinned.

He's actually very thin skinned and he has a very fragile ego. This is his biggest fear, that he will be mugshotted and that he's going to now have an F, a felony, next to his name. These are not things that Donald Trump ever thought in his entire life, nor I, for that matter, that he would ever be confronted with. He's seething because all the all the advice that they gave now landed him here. I wonder what all of this means, you know, for the country in the future of the country. Would it prove nobody is above the law? Does this prove that this country really has checks and balances or they just have checks and balances for people that they don't like and don't want to run for president? Yeah, well, you know how I feel about that until everyone's held accountable like black folks, just to be honest with you.

I don't think this is going to prove that now all of a sudden, you know, America has it together as far as the criminal justice system is concerned um but i do think that uh they are showing uh clearly uh that nobody's above the law in respect to uh you know former president donald trump it's so interesting though you know he started campaigning campaigning again last night with a uh an email that he sent out to start a fundraising for this so he's already raised money off of this and folks say that he will continue you know on the campaign trail and continue to try to run uh for office yeah i was gonna say you know they told uh all police officers in new york city uh if you're off today or or whatever it may be to come into work today in uniform so they're expecting uh some melee today and and they're requesting that all police officers uh come to work today well he's not even turning himself in until next week, right, Ted? That's correct.

The indictment remains under seal. So we still, just for clarity, we still do not know, you know, what that indictment looks like. And, yes, he is expected to turn himself in early next week. But, again, that could change, just like we saw, you know, the story changing over the last two weeks. So we'll see what those indictments are. We'll be able to kind of, you know, look and the what the actual charge is and how he turns himself in you know i was just so kind of tickled by michael cohen because he was saying you know i don't take any pride in this and you know i don't like to see this and that's capped to me michael cohen knock

it off you he literally went on a tour uh to make sure you know that donald trump was indicted for this and he made a good point charlamagne he said that if he could go to jail, be charged and go to jail, then so should Donald Trump. And he also made an interesting point when he said that you don't get mob bosses for murder, you get them for tax evasion. So it's those smaller cases that they push in order to get somebody charged. And I still think Georgia is going to come through with something as well. I'm not sure about the federal charge, but I do think that Georgia will eventually indict

him as well. The Georgia charge should be a federal charge. I don't know why the feds haven't investigated that when they picked it up yet. And I guess for me, I will feel like it's really real and nobody is above the law when the feds actually press charges. You know, when Merrick Garland and them, the feds actually press charges you know when merrick garland them you know uh actually press charges well i think we we got to make sure that we look at when somebody's charged and then actually convicted and then what kind of time would they get to me

that's that is the ultimate test to see who is really above the law and who's not um so an indictment is totally different than you than actually going through with the process. And we even see that even on the police brutality side, Charlamagne, where they can get arrested and get charged and get off or get a slap on the wrist. So as this continues to develop, we'll be right here covering on The Breakfast Club. Because we still have to remember,

innocent until proven guilty. That's right. You know what I mean? Well, that's... Well, yeah, well... Yeah. For black folks, it's guilty until proven innocent, but whatever. Hey. For black folks, it's guilty until proven innocent. Hey, for black folks, it's guilty until proven innocent.

And even if you prove your innocence, you still guilty. You still guilty. That's right. Oh, and listen, Taz has her push the line initiative. Right. Yes. Yes, I do. In Houston on June 10th, I kick off my push the Line Politics Until Something Happens nonpartisan political training tour.

And that was your front page news now when we come back tiana taylor will be joining us she has a new flick out call a thousand and one and we're gonna kick it with her when we come back harlem will be in the building it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club i mean he was like yo you like

literally one of the most sane artists in the industry. Like, how do you do that? And I think for a long time, I just keep a lot of things bottled in, you know, and I'm so busy. I just keep it pushing. You know, that's the hustle in me. Like, yeah, that shit happened, but I got to keep it rocking. I got to keep it pushing. And I think that with Inez, I was finally able to let all those years of like whatever, you know, quiet battles battles i was fighting dealing with postpartum depression um coming back home to film such a heavy role and having to go to funerals during

my lunch breaks it was crazy so it was like i had to pour all of that into inez and you know she was that outlet of like oh my god i can finally like finally throw my cape off from being super mom, being super wife, being super director, super artist, you know what I'm saying? And get to just finally have a moment of weakness. You know what I'm saying? Be weak for once and it be considered art. It's dope because y'all take it back to the 90s era where from everything in that movie, from the cars to the clothes to, you know, the music to, I mean, Angie Martinez was on the other station during that. She was on the other station. So how was that?

She had one slip up, though. What? She must have been ad-libbing. When you said, talk to me nice. Yeah, she did say talk to me nice. There was nobody saying that in the 90s. When they were playing baseball, you said talk to me nice. You know what's crazy?

Because only ghetto New York people took the talk to me nice. You know what's crazy? Because only ghetto New York people took the talk to me nice in that way. I didn't even go in front. That's how I took it. No, no, talk to me nice. Talk to me nice. But technically,

I'm your mother. Talk to me nice. Nah, B. Nah, B. Talk to me nice. Talk to me nice. So how involved were you with doing some of that?

Because I know sometimes you love that era as well yeah y'all know i'm like obsessed with that era um you know it's also crazy to look back at it because to have to step into the ever now as an adult not only as an adult but um as a mother is crazy because in 96 i was little terry's age i was six you know not understanding or all the way processing what was going on and you know the the city around me the world around me you know not understanding or all the way processing what was going on in you know the the city around me the world around me you know so to kind of like go back and relive some of those moments as an adult one was pretty cool because you know i always wanted to be in that era i'm

always like this ever don't deserve me i need to go to the 90s i should have been like 17 18 in the 90s so you know um it was it was dope to back, but it was also emotional because it made you realize how much of that is now gone. How much of that have been erased, that vibrance, the color, that mom and pop feeling. Like when you used to walk on a block and you know everybody, the sprinklers is out. You know, we lost a lot of that to gentrification and different things like that. And it's just like, yeah. And it's just like, you know, to evolve is amazing, of course. But when you want our city and our community to evolve

and not have us included and you pushing us out, it's not beneficial. So all the glass, all the gray, less brick. You feel what I'm saying? Like, it's cool and all for their aesthetic. But it's like, y'all pushing my people out. You feel what I'm saying? You never wanted and all for their aesthetic but it's like y'all pushing my people out you feel what I'm saying you never wanted to get married

on the brownstone in Harlem cause that when I seen it I'm like that is Tiana you know what's crazy it makes sense though me and Iman got married in Cleveland

like right in front of our bathroom where we had Junie that was the closest thing cause he was playing for the Cavaliers so it was like yeah you know we good so

I could see myself doing that and how was he during the time how was he during the time when you say you were depressed and you wanted to retire and you felt like people didn't appreciate and respect you because that that's the main support yeah of course mom dukes and yeah and your hubby honestly it was the hardest for my closest whether it was my mom my husband my close my friends my pops it was the no see my pops is reckless he like me so he's like man if you don't want to do it you ain't gotta do that yeah bull money i love that he's like team tiana like i'm riding with you you know i'm saying of course he's gonna always give me his honest opinion that's dad's though exactly but you need that balance you need that one that's like, yeah, all right, well, cool.

We out, we out. You know, and then you got mom and my husband where they're literally my biggest fan. So to them, I'm like the greatest person in the world. So they can't really see and they hear me. Don't get me wrong. I cry in their arms like they're there 100%. But they want me to like you know keep pushing but the the great thing about it is that support is going to always be there and like i said you need that

balance and nobody's going to ever really see what you see or feel you know what you feel so like when i came out and retired like i locked myself in a room like nobody even knew i was doing it but i had hinted toward it like yo i think i'm ready to ready to do that. And it was kind of like, no, Tiani, you too far for all that. And then one day I'm like, you know what? I got to do what I got to do. And I walked into a room and I went live and all my family watching from a different room and didn't even know that I was going live to do it. But it was something that I needed to do for me. You know, like I didn't need any other outside noise, even from the closest people to me.

I didn't need any other outside noise even from the closest people to me I didn't need that I needed to go and like follow my heart you know and and follow what I felt like my higher path was which wound up being one of the best decisions in my life because you know for a minute everything was like the music was the end all be all but like nah nah this gotta hold off because like when this album drop you you know how that music go and it kind of takes up a lot of your world, you know, and I was ready to do other things that I love that I felt like had been put on a back burner, you know, and I feel like I was ready for this moment. I had done a lot of movies already, but it was always like dance movies or like I was the sexy girl. I was the hot girl. And it was like, no, like I'm I'm ready to evolve.

I'm ready to evolve i'm ready to really bask you know in my true journey all right we got more with tiana taylor when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking in with tiana taylor now you said underappreciated right yeah who made you feel that way right because if you look at the music your fans supported you right all your shows were sold out i mean you had a good time on on shows and you have it right yeah who made you feel that way right because if you look at the music your fans supported you right all your shows were sold out i mean you had a good time on shows and you have so many people that come support you so what made you feel underappreciated like what what accolades

because you were sold out people loved you nobody ever came you never everybody said that your music was trash they loved your music so what was it but like just imagine that if all of that was happening with nothing imagine all of that with the proper push proper promo proper machine doing what they have to do for you you know i'm saying like i've been it me i it's like i was just signed to a regular label i've been in positions and around people that could really make shit go you know i'm saying and we've even spoken about it like you know that time me as an artist deserved way more absolutely you know the sold out shows was the hard work that i put in and i feel like it was almost like that core fan base that just kind of always stayed with me but it is hurtful to hear like yo like i just wish she had a

better i just wish she had a better i just wish she had a i just wish you know she had a bigger push like you know it's just a lot of different things i remember when i put out gonna love me damn near independently i called charlamagne i'm like yo i got this remix well uh wu-tang we dropping this what are we doing what are we doing exactly and at that point i couldn't even really get cleared for a video budget you know and i remember when we when we put that out they wound up clearing me for a little video budget it was something small but like that one small yes though which i'm still grateful for because that one small yes open up the door for bigger bigger budgets and when it was time to do my other videos that's when i really got into my directing heavy because i

knew that i was able to you know tell a story it's crazy though because there's probably artists who might have went platinum double platinum whatever but they don't get the respect yeah like they don't you don't look at them and be like oh that's a talented yeah but it was also from it was also from peers too you got to understand one thing y'all know about tiana and this is why i see so much of myself and inez is tiana shows up for everybody everybody whether it's through radio that's real you know other singers rappers whether i'm doing people's video i'm styling people i'm creative directing like i show up for everybody in the midst of still trying to be an artist myself which is hard to do a lot

of people feel like nah it's either me or it's either them and you know i've been very selfless within my career and you know a lot of me showing up just wasn't being reciprocated so that was the part of feeling unappreciated you know I'm saying and and you know just feeling like damn it could be more like I'm I'm literally doing everything for everybody I'm being sucked drive my creativity and when I need some water in you know it ain't no more water left in the bottle it's quiet you know I'm saying like everybody need everything from me and I do it how much how much did you drain of yourself though a lot my cup was empty by the time I finally

got on live and said I'm gonna retire I was empty I was empty and I remember really just asking God like, okay, what is my higher purpose? Like, what do you want me to do? What is my job so I can get that done? You know, and I realized because I always been a helpful person since I was 15. I've been choreographing, creative directing, styling. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like for me, I have a real love of helping other artists and helping develop other artists. I think that's why I was hurtful. Like when you see a lot of people that you work with not really reciprocate the love. I see more love after I retire than I did before I retire.

She's not a threat no more. She's gone. Yeah, it's like, oh my God, you were such an inspiration. And it's like, baby, where was that when I asked you to get on this record? Or where was this when I, you know what I'm saying? Like when I was just, you know, but me, you know, I keep it graceful. Like I don't, I, it's no reason to be upset about things that you cannot control. You got to keep it pushing.

And that's what I did. I made myself a Glade plug-in. Like I, why only be plugged in the bathroom? Yeah, I'm a Glade plug-in. Why only be plugged in the bathroom when i'm a great plugin why only be plugged in the bathroom when i can smell the foods in my labor or throughout the house that's it you feel me but that's when that's when you could just smell you start smelling your own roses and you ain't gotta look for anybody else to do that for you you know i'm saying and that's

where i am you know where i am now and i was able to pour all of those no's all of the pain all of the hurt into this one yes and I knew that I had a point to prove and I knew that I was willing to do the work how nerve-wracking was shooting this movie because you don't have a part in the movie the movie is all about you so it's so many different emotions how nervous did you get with filming that and how long did it take oh my god honestly um me and av the writer and director we did a lot of layering with inez and we color coordinated her layers so like pink was for um vulnerability and blue may have been for her inner child and i'm sorry blue may have been for her her being cold green may have been for her inner cold. Green may have been for her inner child. And red may have been for her anger.

So by the time we got done workshopping, I had a rainbow script. So I was able to know what emotion to jump in. It was a perfect shorthand for us to kind of like, okay, we on set. In this scene, you may be blue and pink today. So then you see the scene with the cup of noodles, how'm able to laugh but like cry at the same time that was some good ass acting no for real like don't

that layer for real you know what I'm saying like and it's crazy because I want to say I shot that scene coming straight from my lunch break

but during my lunch break I had just attended a funeral so I wasn't nervous remember I told you earlier Inez was my outlet she was my therapy

you know and I know you you're bigez was my outlet. She was my therapy. And I know you're big on mental health and different things like that. So I was using Inez to cry out loud because I knew that once A.V. yelled, cut, get home at the end of the day and really throw that cape back on. The same thing that Batman do. When he go home, he take his cape off. He may be bruised up. When you say that, when I hear that, I like man like what i try what i want to do is how do we help black women not always have to put the cape on exactly you don't want to put the cape on and i and i mentioned

that earlier like we're we're strong and 99 of the time it is not by choice so yeah it may look good like yes there's a strong black woman that's why i said to be inez and to be weak for 12 hours was the most amazing feeling when i say weak i don't mean like literally weak but just to have a moment of weakness to just be able to exhale wow you know like that is a lot because we are forced to be strong until it's against we're forced to be strong for others until it's time to be strong for ourselves and that's time to be strong for ourselves. And that's why I could connect with Inez. It wasn't a bit of nervousness in my heart to play Inez.

Because I knew I had a story to tell through Inez. And Inez had a story to tell through me. So I was in her skin. We were like two souls in one body. What was the most difficult part of that movie? If there was any. It wasn't eating them noodles. I'll tell you that much. We've seen it so much.

You was hungry when you ate them noodles. We've seen you doing the hair. And that was hella acting, too, because them noodles was cold. For real? Yeah, but they looked like they was hot. Yeah. What was the most difficult part, if any?

The most difficult part was, I think, raising my three sons and um you know acting out the different layers of inez because we don't shoot in order so like one day i'm 22 year old vibrant inez thick ass accent you know next day i'm 34 year old and has barely got a voice but it was really eye-opening to see what a single mother go through because being a mom is a it's the biggest job Even with the partner even with the husband. It's the biggest job, especially women with girls You know, it's harder because they're mommy girls and they want to do what mommy's doing, you know, it's it's it's a bigger job It's the biggest job. I don't hear nobody say it's the biggest job

I will don't move we got more with Tiana Taylor when we come back. It's the biggest job. I don't care what nobody says. It's the biggest job. All right, well, don't move. We got more with Tiana Taylor when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're still kicking it with Tiana Taylor. Charlamagne? When you, you know, in the movie, there's a point where she has to let her son go, right? Yeah. Does that make you think about, you know, at some point you're going to have to let your daughters go and figure it out? Yeah, and you think about you know at some point you're gonna have to let your daughters go and figure it out and i i think about that um often and and juni's only seven and ru's only three and i'm just like uh-uh i'm with you right yeah i'm like i don't like that that's why i'm like trying to give them that independence to be able to express themselves um that freedom you know that because kids need that too and people think because

their kids are not allowed to express themselves and have feelings and i want them to because when you do get older i want you to feel like you don't gotta leave me oh that's how i tell mommy anything you know shoot you can stay here for as long as you want as long as you want ain't no ain't no rush i was gonna ask you there was one part where where you push your friend's moms yeah she should have beat you up though she definitely you talk to a mom like that definitely no rush. I was going to ask you, there was one part where you pushed your friend's moms. Yeah. She should have beat you up, though. She definitely,

you talked to your mom like that. I next definitely should not have pushed her. I wouldn't have done nothing like that. However, you are not going to call me a streetwalker.

I think it was really hurtful. You was in her house. Trying to do right. I literally came in from finding work and you down my throat. I remember I was crying at first. and you down my throat i can you i remember i was crying at first i'm like yo can you at least acknowledge me trying to have that

moment of vulnerability this is the point this is the problem now we're too forced into having to go into survival mode because she was vulnerable before she went into survival mode and it was once again it was not the right decision at all it wasn't the right thing to do but her head just wasn't in space she was in survival mode she had never been loved she never had a mom she never been seen she don't know now people say act like you got no damn home training she literally don't she has no home to train in but that's what i say you shouldn't judge people based off what they do in survival mode exactly exactly i was gonna ask so are you doing reality tv that's done because i know one time your family was on reality tv and we got to see it inside yeah

with vh1 and e um i'm thinking about it but this time if i do it it's gonna be on my own you're gonna ep it yeah my own network you know i'm saying like for me it's just we busy in real life majority of times people don't even see me and Iman together. Like, he's literally in Chicago doing his show. I'm literally out here doing the press. We're like, we are, like, literally, fame aside, we are that family that's literally a working family, including Junie. You see, she got billboards.

Like, we're literally a working family, you know? So it's like, for reality TV, even though they say it's your reality, and I loved working with both VH1 and E, and they loved us, you know so it's like for reality tv even though they say it's your reality and i loved working with both vh1 and e um and they loved us you know i appreciate their support even to this day they always show in love but even within reality it's still not really a reality if it's a certain type schedule you know and due to covid made it hard too like they can't just come on my movie set you know i'm saying they can't just come on the set of the shot like it was really tough so it's almost like we were in a relationship with them it's like well we are gonna make time for us you know and it's just like we got to do the things that make y'all love us to want to be able to follow our life you get what I'm saying

like we got a family to raise so I think it was just like a clash and scheduling and honestly with working with the I want to really make sure I got the space and opportunity to really give them that like I feel like we wasn't able to like give them all of us you know even just the bare minimum we weren't able to like give them look how many people love the show imagine they would have had a hundred percent of the Shumpert do you know what I'm saying but it's just like we were just extremely busy we were never in the same place so even that cost a lot of money. To send a camera crew with Iman, send a camera crew with me,

then send a camera crew with my mom when she got to take Junie to her job because I got to work over here. Like, that shit is a lot. And doing it through COVID was the craziest. So it's like, and I loved it, though. I don't want to see you do reality TV. I want to see Tiana Taylor in front of the camera, and I want to see her with big budgets shooting. And that's why we have to make executive decisions.

And you see, that's what I'm doing right now once again just like music just putting certain things on a standstill and i look at all these different things like college you know it'll always be there for you when you're ready no matter what age i can make a beautiful song at 60 you know what i'm saying i can make a reality i can come back at any time but right now i want to focus on where i'm loved where i'm appreciating where i'm seen and where i'm heard and i feel like mentally emotionally i was really heard through this movie. So to honestly get all the support and love from this is amazing. What does success look like for you when it comes to 1001?

It looked like this. To me, you know, I don't require a lot. You know, I think the awards and being rewarded is amazing. But the biggest reward is the prayers that are answered. The blessings, you know. To be able to go from a lot of no's to one little yes that will change your world is enough for me. You know. So like the Oscar buzz and if there is an Oscar nomination in the future or any award nomination in the future, I'm grateful for that.

And of course we want to, you know, manifest it and and claim it but like that's not really like my headspace my headspace is that i was able to one get this therapy very much needed therapy very much needed healing and um being able to being able to really show what i can do and now they're no longer hitting the snooze button you know i'm saying like everybody's woke and i love that i know you gotta go but just gotta ask white man can't jump what's your part in there i am uh sinqua's wife i'm the lead's wife um round away girl you know just just don't play no ball because we've seen how you you almost did justin bieber and that that celebrity basketball game yeah no i'm not playing no ball and i'm actually i'm doing here doing here out of my house like one, down-ass wife, raising our son, trying to get it popping. So, I'm even excited about that because it's like three different roles.

I have another movie coming out, too. They're not going to have you doing hair in every movie, either. That was a Kawiki thing. We're not going to have that, man. That was a Kawiki thing. Yeah. But it's really cute because it's two different characters. You know what I'm saying?

But it's three movies. It's 1001, White Man Can't Jump, and A Book of Clarence, which is a biblical film. Ooh. September 22nd. You're not doing hair but it's three movies. This is a thousand and one white man can't jump in a book of Clarence Which is a biblical film Oh September 22nd in that one. No, I'm not doing here It's like a biblical movie for real You know I'm saying like but I think it's really dope because look at that timing like I shot all three of these movies in different times

and they're all coming out in the same year 1001 Friday um White Man Can't Jump May 19th Book of Clarence September 22nd

so not only am I doing what I love but I'm showing range now like it's really like you cannot go back to sleep it's no sleep gotcha last question

prepare to be tired after you started doing the therapy and got to healing is that when everything started to open up like even career wise Like, it's really, like, you cannot go back to sleep. It's no sleep. Gotcha. Last question. You're not prepared to be tired. After you started doing the therapy and got to healing, is that when everything started to open up? Like, even career-wise? Well, that's hard to say because I never had real therapy. My therapy was through Inez. She's got through this character.

Yeah, so I had 12 hours of therapy for six weeks. He don't be listening. Yeah, he don't. It's okay. What you mean? He be listening. He just in tools. You know, he just want to know.

He more in-depth. I had started my healing journey when I decided to retire. That's just into it. You know, he just want to. He's just want to. He's more in depth. I had started my healing journey when I decided to retire. That's what I'm saying. Like, you see, I retired with grace. I wasn't upset. I wasn't angry. I wasn't mad at anyone. Like, you know me.

Let's get to the rumors. Let's go. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I am gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club.

This is where the tea spills, right? Yes. On The Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne, let me ask you a question. What's the definition of a mass shooting? Because I was confused yesterday, and I'll tell you why. I thought the definition of a mass shooting is when you shoot multiple people right so yesterday they said there was a mass shooting in memphis two people killed five people wounded in a shooting at a restaurant that's definitely a mass shooting even though it was you said two people killed five wounded so that means

seven people got shot yes that's definitely a mass shooting okay because when i think of mass shooting i don't think of shootings when it was like me and you beefing and we shooting at each other i don't think of that as a mass shooting i think a mass shooting is when somebody targets a bunch of crowd and just targets random people i consider that a mass shooting i guess this is a that would be considered an unintentional mass shooting i don't know so so when they say that mass shootings are up and there's so many mass shootings everything is put into that quote-unquote mass shooting pot i mean that is definitely many mass shootings, everything is put into that, quote unquote, mass shooting pot. I mean, that is definitely a mass shooting if seven people get shot, whether you meant to shoot those seven people or not.

All right. Well, an altercation happened at a restaurant in Memphis. And the restaurant they're saying was owned by your God is owned by your God is Privé restaurant. Cops arrived to find two men suffering from serious gunshot wounds. One was pronounced dead at the scene while the other died at the local hospital now there is video which is is very sad uh you can see that you know two men got into it looks like an altercation or argument and a fight inside the restaurant it seems like it was they were thrown out and then the fight continue on outside and you see gunshots erupting and people shooting and people running and people scattering. That's why I don't want to be around.

It was pretty crazy. Damn body. I don't want to be in no vicinity where it's a large amount of people. But a mass shooting, the textbook definition of a mass shooting is a crime in which an attacker kills or injures multiple individuals simultaneously using a firearm. So, yes, that is definitely a mass shooting yeah so uh definitely rest in peace and condolences to anybody you know if you lost your family member or friend or whatever it may be but very very sad out in memphis tennessee where can we find some infinity stones just so we can snap away all the guns if we can just snap away all the guns across

the globe in all universes just that's what i would use infinity stones for what i would i wouldn't i wouldn't get rid i wouldn't destroy my infinity stones after that though but that's one thing that's one thing you do with it okay absolutely now on thursday lotto dropped the episode of her new 777 radio show it was uh featuring chloe bailey and she talks about her insecurities because of social media so because we're constantly in our heads we're like okay well how can i fix this how can i make that okay so all of her insecurities because of social media. So because we're constantly in our heads, we're like, okay, well, how can I fix this? How can I make that okay? So all of our insecurities get heightened

because even things we weren't insecure about, people will poke on. Yeah. Like me looking old. You don't look old. That's crazy. So now my whole thing is, I'm going to say this without saying no names,

but I'd be like, Kia, I look like an old white woman. I can't, but that's the things that be going through our head. It is, and it's all because of social media, though. Yes. It really is. Like, you know, I can't say all. It just, like you said, heightens your insecurity.

And makes up new ones. It makes up new ones. Because I never thought I looked old until I read it on internet and i just think i look like oh i can promise you you don't look old i don't think chloe bailey looks old i don't think lotto looks old neither one of them look when the hell did lotto get a radio show you don't listen huh you don't listen to this rumor report huh when i'm telling you the rumors you don't listen i'll tell you about lotto getting her own show on apple i must not pay no attention no attention.

Don't hear the date, you dumbass. You get dunked in the date, you dumbass day You are a donkey It's time for donkey of the day I'm gonna fatten all that shit around your eyes They want this man to throw them blows man They wait for Charlamagne to tap these gloves Let's go They had to make a judgment of who was gonna be on the donkey of the day

They chose you There's a breakfast club bitches Who the donkey of the day. They chose you. To the breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Well, donkey of the day for Friday, March 31st, Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday goes to a Dutch musician named Jonathan Jacob Meijer. Now, what does this have to do with Freaky Friday? Well, Jonathan has donated sperm to at least 13 clinics, 11 in the Netherlands where he was blacklisted in 2017 for fathering

102 children. Jesus. That is a lot of baby batter. I mean, just unlimited clam sauce everywhere. Would you like a little gentleman's relish with that poom poom pastry? Of course you would. That's why you're here. Let's go to Vice News for the report, please.

A prolific Dutch sperm donor alleged to have fathered hundreds of children is being taken to court to stop him from conceiving anymore. The civil suit against Jonathan Jacob Meyer, a 41-year-old musician from The Hague who now lives in Kenya, has been launched by the DonorKind Foundation, a Dutch organization which supports donor children, and a mother who gave birth to a child conceived using his sperm. They're asking the court to take action to crack down on Meyer's excessive donation, which is in breach of existing rules in the Netherlands and many other countries. Thijs van der Meer, chair of the DonorKind Foundation, said in a statement that Meyer was believed to have fathered at least 550 children using at least 13 clinics

around the world and using donation sites and social media to approach people wishing to conceive she called him a prolific Dutch sperm donor that sounds way too dignified listen to me this week is all about accountability okay Trump was indicted uh which is a great thing because it shows nobody is above the law innocent until proven guilty of course but it still shows us some checks and balances so the same rules apply to jonathan now jonathan didn't commit a crime but he's being sued for allegedly increasing the risk of accidental incest see under dutch guidelines donors are not allowed to father more than 25 children or impregnate more than 12 women to prevent inbreeding incest or psychological problems for kids who find out they have a great number of siblings basically you can't

just be out here sharing all that nizzle drizzled because you might end up slipping on some nut butter and falling into your sister's vagina I don't know how any of that works y'all okay I have never in my life even considered the fact that if you are a person who fathers a whole bunch of kids whether through you know donating penis marmalade or having kids the good old-fashioned nick cannon way if you're doing it all over the globe the odds are high or at least high by lottery standards that it's a one in a 292 point million power ball type of chance that you could end up banging your sibling now the reason he's getting sued is

because the group alleges he has lied about the number of children he has fathered. OK, you heard the chairman of DonorKind. He also said we are taking action against this man because the government is doing nothing. OK, he has global reach via the Internet and he does business with a large amount of international sperm banks. Sidebar, what does the country do when a sperm bank needs a bailout? Think about it and get back to me but the lawsuit was brought on by a woman who gave birth to one of his kids in 2018 she said that if i had known he had already fathered more than 100 children i would have

never chosen this donor now i know nothing about donating sperm okay i have only shared my penis colada with one woman that is my wife but ladies i'm just asking okay feel free to let me know in the comments on social media when you go to a sperm bank does it matter how many kids the prick liquid has created huh this woman says when i think about the consequences this could have for my child i get sick to my stomach going to court is the only way to protect my child the reason this man jonathan is getting sued is because women pleaded with him to stop donating the daddy sauce okay now the foundation wants to ask the court to order with him to stop donating the daddy sauce okay now the foundation wants to ask the court to order jonathan to stop donating and to have all his stored sperm

destroyed unless it is reserved for a woman who has already given birth to one of his children how do you destroy sperm envy you thirsty now there's an australian couple who paid over 6 500 for jonathan's high fructose porn syrup and jonathan did this under the name rud women are upset because he just won't stop and women don't want to tell their child they have hundreds of siblings now jonathan wrote a letter to the sperm bank he said uh dear jp morgan spank i want to help people realize their dreams of having kids i like to see that there are children of mine all over the world. This is extremely selfish and irresponsible. OK, if you are a person who goes to a sperm bank to get some Pearl Jam and you want your donor to be in the child's life,

how could you possibly be a father to hundreds of children, Jonathan? Not to mention you're probably about to lose millions of dollars that you don't have in lawsuits for no reason other than you can't stop spreading population pace all over the globe for no reason other than your own ego. Please give Jonathan Jacob Miger the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Oh, no, you are the donkey of the day you are the donkey of the day yee haw I hope he loses it all.

I really do. I hope he has to pay a dollar for every sperm that comes out when he ejaculates. Do you know that normally it's about a hundred million sperm per ejaculation do you know that normally it's about a hundred million sperm per ejaculation you know that so think about that imagine if the judge charges him a dollar but every sperm that comes out during ejaculation it's pretty nasty on a freaky freaky freaky friday oh that's why i did it on freaky freaky freaky friday i figured that yes all right well thank

you for that donkey today. Good question. You didn't answer the question, though. What happened to your Invisalign? I don't know. I really don't know what happened to my Invisalign last night. I went to sleep last night

with the top and bottom of my Invisalign and I woke up this morning with just the bottom. Drop a bomb for Charlamagne. Boy, you mean. I just want you to, you're giving him ammunition

by saying things like this. I just want you to know that. But I don't know where the top of my Invisalign is, but i have a sneaky suspicion one of my extraterrestrial cousins came and he took uh my top in visit line and i would just ask for them to give it back they've collected enough dna uh and hair samples and stuff for me over the years now you'll find it later though no because when whatever whatever you swallow it out the... I didn't swallow my damn Invisalign. It was on my teeth. All right.

Okay. I don't like how you said that. You'll find it later. You'll find it later. I don't even like what you were implying just now. All right. Don't think about my butt, son. I'm not.

Okay? Good morning, Donnell. Good morning, Donnell. All right. When we come back, woosah, woosah, woosah. Clear your mind. Let's get serious. Let's get serious.

Act like you got some damn sense. Let's get serious. Senator Nina Turner is coming. That's right. Senator we come back, woosah, woosah, woosah. Clear your mind. Let's get serious. Let's get serious. Act like you got some damn sense. Let's get serious. Senator Nina Turner's coming. Senator Nina Turner will be joining us. A voice of reason. We need to hear from Nina Turner this week. We're going to talk to her when we come back. Also, Rip Michaels will be joining us this morning as well. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Any comments since gun reform? I also gave it to President Biden because it really pissed me off to see him say there's nothing I can do without without Congress. I just have to plead to them. And we know that's the case. But damn, can't you call out some names? Talk about some of these senators that are getting money from the gun lobbyists, these senators that are, you know, their campaigns directly benefited from the NRA. That's all you got is I can't do nothing but plead to them yeah i mean i have the most powerful person in the world say they can't do anything then the people in the hoods where they misunderstood whether it's rural hoods urban hoods suburban hoods what about them i mean i have higher expectations of the two

toddlers in my life than we do of elected officials particularly the president united states of america has the largest bully pulpit in the world gas up the jet and let these fools know i'm coming to tennessee gas up the jet in places where there are gun violence and let folks know i'm coming there it is unacceptable a charlamagne and dj to have the president of the united states of america and quite frankly any member of congress to say that they're powerless there's always something you can do even if it's using the bully pulpit or letting folks know i'm not leaving this place calling it i would be calling in all those manufacturers and let them know ain't nobody leaving this place until we find a solution because guess what i'm ready to die on this hill

and i don't mean physically die but hey i'm the president united states of america i don't give a damn if i get another term but what what's about to happen is some true action and real common sense gun reform in the United States of America because it is immoral to allow babies to die at the rates that they're dying in these schools. And what are your thoughts? What do you think can slow some of it

down? We've had so many mass shootings in this year alone. We talk about it's funny when I heard Mexico say, America said don't go to Mexico it's dangerous and then mexico president says uh i think america's a little more dangerous a little more dangerous so when you talk about all these these shootings these mass shootings and these guns using these high-powered rifle and in these people being able to purchase guns and not getting any type of mental checks or really any type of background checks then you look at what bill clinton did in what

2004 2004 where they banned ar-15s for 10 years or whatever it may be so what do you think can happen what do you think can be done realistically it's a combination of those things we as a nation need to reevaluate the worshiping of the second amendment the second amendment is not god it is not an absolute right and there is no way that the framers of this country could have even imagined the type of firepower that we have today it is called taking action for the 21st century and it is it is again it's a moral it's a matter of morality here and you're going to continue to let the nra run this nation is this the united states of the nra or is this the united states of america so first of all we need some people with some balls to stand up against this lobby and to push legislation

through but that's in state houses too we're losing a losing ground in a lot of state houses as well so we need governors we need members of general assembly but in particular we need the level government that has the biggest stick and that is the united states of america and then we as everyday citizens have a role to play as well it is not just on elected officials it is on us these mass shootings are a reflection of us and charlie i know i'm going into your lane you talk a lot about mental health challenges now not everybody because i'm sick and tired of people saying this person got a mental health challenge they labeling everybody with really diagnosed mental health everybody that's diagnosed with a mental health challenge is not going out there being violent but do we as a country have a mental health problem see that's the problem america has a

mental health problem and anytime you let a small lobby like the nra control whether or not we're gonna have common sense gun reform then that tells us that there's something wrong with us so in summation it is a combination of both laws but also the spirit of america who do we want to be and it is is it okay for us to have our babies dying either at mass shootings that happen in schools or other public places and also what is happening in some of our community i love how you said who do we want to be because i hate when people say things like, this isn't who we are. Oh, it's who we are. Exactly. Exactly who we are.

What do you think about, you know, Charlamagne and myself, we were talking the other day with Tesla and Figaro. Who I love. Talking about teachers possibly having firearms or, you know, police officers around schools more. Or I even said maybe parents got to take a shift where they don't have to necessarily have guns, but just somebody that can call 911 pretty fast. And I don't think that if you're a parent, you're going to look out for them kids a little more because your kids are one of those kids. And I commend those cops because the way those cops ran in that building with no armor on, no helmets on, no face mask on. I mean, they didn't have no body on, but they were like, we're going to go get this killer. So what are your thoughts on some of those things that people have been

talking about the last couple of days? I mean, we're going back to the wild, wild west. You want to arm teachers? Instead of getting to the root of the problem, you can arm every teacher in America. That's not going to get it at the root of the problem because if somebody is really determined to be a mass shooter, they ready to die. That's right. On that day, I'm ready to die because I know that the chances

that I may die are very high. And I'm just going in to do this again. You can't solve the gun problem with more guns. We got more guns than any other nation per person in this in this country. So it is. I mean, and parents are already armed. I know a lot of armed parents, but that is not necessarily the solution. The solution is getting at the root of the problem is mental health and

i'm not talking about diagnosed people but we have a mental health problem in this country an addiction to guns that's number one number two we need other types of services that wrap around a community to try to prevent this from happening the goal is prevention the goal is not to have people to act when it's happening now dj I love the idea of having parent patrols. In the city of Cleveland, there was a councilwoman. She's no longer here on this plane of existence. She's in the ancestral plane, but her name is Fannie M. Lewis. And she had a program where she funded parent patrols in and around schools.

Now, they weren't armed, but it was just the very nature of their presence. So could there be a beautiful thing in helping a community and funding, paying people to be out there? They don't have to physically be a parent, like biologically be a parent. But people in the community, particularly men, because we need some more man energy. I don't give a damn what nobody else got to say. And I'm every woman. And I'm fine with saying that we need some more man energy because I know some of them folks out there don't believe in that. But we need some more man energy out there don't believe in that but we need some more man energy out there and especially in black

communities to see black men out there around schools in some cases too many of our households in the black community are run by women because you know certain things are popping off i get it but to love and embrace the community there's an african proverb that says it takes a village and let the village come together and women too i'm not saying we don't need women but so many children don't even have the presence of a real strong loving man in their lives they don't see male teachers because teaching is not necessarily a profession that men gravitate to because the pay too damn low while we at it let's go on to increase the pay of teachers the people that mold minds but that parent patrol is an excellent idea has been done before and we should do it again the goal is to prevent it from happening, not to act when it happens.

I like the parent patrol idea, but I do say I feel like if there are parents who have weapons and they're licensed and trained to use them, I wouldn't mind being able to carry those weapons either. Black Panther style. Well, you know, Lord, you can't carry. You can't, like, I can't carry my firearm around school. If you're going to be part of the patrol of the school and you're licensed to carry, I think you should be able't carry. You can't, like, I can't carry my firearm around school. If you're going to be part of the patrol at a school, and you're licensed to carry, I think you should be able to carry. If people have a license to carry, I'm not saying that I'm against that. All I'm saying is that if everybody's arming up, and we think that that is the sole way to solve the problem,

my position is that that is not the sole way to solve the problem, and it's not even the best way to solve the problem. I agree with that. But I'm not saying people shouldn't be armed up. I mean, I got people in my life that are in law enforcement. My son is a police officer, for God's sakes. So I get it and I understand it. But we can't outgun the guns. All right, we got more with Senator Nina Turner when we come back.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Senator Nina Turner. I feel like there's so many issues impacting america i don't even know where to begin like what's what do you what's on your mind like well i can't one of the reasons why i'm here and i'm so glad i i love you guys and i'm always invited to come back home when i'm here

but i am a senior fellow at the at the new school institute on race power and political economy and is led by one of the greatest uh stratification economists dr derrick hamilton and we just had a seminar a forum just on tuesday and it was about the promises and the perils of black politics and so that's very much on my mind because we as a nation especially our black leaders leaders like minister malcolm x and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. are on record as defining the problem with white liberals and that white liberals are a big threat to black liberation. But there is a group of people in our society that get off that are let off the hook. And that's the black moderate. And I happen to believe that the black moderate is the biggest threat to true black liberation, because they are the gatekeepers in this society, in this in these political spaces, in these high places.

And so the black community must have some more family barbecues. And we got to decide what we are going to do as a as a community and stop continuing to be complicit in our own demise. I'm concerned that a segregationist governor is running the great state of Florida. I'm concerned that the things that we read about in history books, we are now reliving. And that the same spirit of like a Governor Faubus and all of those other segregationist governors and senators and reps and all name them. They manifest through some of these people who are in their 40s and 50s. Yeah, Sean Thurman. Yeah, Sean Thurman's spirit is alive and well. Those are the kinds of things on my mind.

It's on my mind that the people of East Palestine, a predominantly white community that voted over 70% for President Donald J. Trump, when a train derails in that working class and poor community, you got people like Joy Behar and all these other latte liberals saying they getting what they deserve because they voted for president donald j trump

doesn't every human being on this earth deserve clean water clean air clean food and i don't give a damn who you voted for they babies didn't vote for donald j trump we are becoming a heartless not becoming hell we are another manifestation of who we are a heartless nation but just because that is the reality today doesn't mean it has to be the reality tomorrow so one of the things we're working on at the new school is taking the academy this is not just about public it's not just about coming up with great ideas in the academy it's how can they be applied how can we have community engagement and how can we push real public policy that lifts people and changes material conditions in real time i'm like fannie lou hamer right now

our elder you know she's on the ancestral plane too but aren't we all sick and tired of being sick and tired absolutely yeah i just don't know what to do i'm over it we need a general strike in this country we need to do what france is doing we need to do what the people in israel are doing against that also right-wing government we need to take to the streets and be willing to stay in them streets i think what you know the major problem is most people don't care until it affects them personally right that's right and that's a sad thing it's like you know with everything that goes on people are like oh i'm outraged and they'll look and they keep it moving and it doesn't affect them personally nobody makes a move which is sad but they don't get it it's always going to affect you it may be a long

distance from you remember when Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said what affects one directly affects us all indirectly it's coming to your door baby now it may come to my door quicker but it's coming to your door it is a problem that we have obscene wealth in this country that's a problem it's a problem that people can't afford their health care that is a problem and so we have to get people to understand the connectivity of what it means to be a human being on this earth and how anything that happens to your name what happens over there happens over here eventually and we need more leaders with the chutzpah to say it i feel like america ain't got no brake pads right now oh you know and when you ain't got no brake pads you you arrest yourself and you arrest everybody else on the road and i don't understand why elected officials don't see

that eventually you're going to be impacted by all this stuff you're ignoring they don't give a damn because they all comfy cozy but now they don't care i want to ask a question back to the presidency what are your thoughts on on on the presidency and if he should run again he hasn't announced if he is going to run again and what are your thoughts on if you want to run again run but i believe everybody should jump in that race i'm glad to see marianne williams in there we don't have isn't it funny how people want you to have choice but then they don't want you to have choice they want you to make choices that they want i mean this is a republic right so anybody can run the man don't own the office and so whether it's him or trump

whoever's in office even president bob people want to run so i would never say because i'm not of ages i mean i hope i'm blessed enough to make it to my 80s same if the man want to run let him run but other folks should jump into the race too. And so Mary Ann Williamson is in there for now. I hope other people jump in there. The water's just fine.

Run. My only problem is I feel like people start saying, well, he has the best chance of beating this person. I hate that conversation and that talk. How do you know?

The best chance means four people jumping out of a primary in 2020. People like Pete Buttigieg, Mayor, Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, who didn't even count. He didn't even count. for people jumping out of the primary in 2020 people like pete budajek mayor secretary of transportation pete budajek who ain't even showed up he didn't even comment on east palestine for 10 days that's right he had to be whipped into submission by the lever shout out to david serota shouting out some people today but it's america so we can't have it both ways either you believe that people should have choice and not just bodily autonomy choice when it comes to abortion or you don't shouldn't they have choice when it comes to people on the

ballot yeah he got the best chance because the system is gonna make sure he got the best chance everybody did in 2016 2016 and 2020 pete budaj jumped out of the race amy klobuchar harris all of them jumped out of the race to give this man the best chance you know so so it wasn't a fair fight y'all jumped out so that the candidate that y'all anointed y'all being the system could have the best chance and here we are that's what happened in 2016 too though because it feels like the people got behind bernie but the dmc was like nah they changed that thing they manipulated the super delegates and all that so you know you remember we were at the Apollo. Remember that? And you know, Erica Gardner.

God bless the day. Oh, my God. That's how it went far back. I mean, it's a beautiful thing. So I want people to know. I mean, life is hard as hell right now. Chicken wings are cheaper than eggs. People got to work two or three jobs.

That's not living. People got to stand up. You got to reclaim it. And so we can't lose lose hope but we got to put some action behind that hope some sweat behind that hope and there are multiple ways to do it you don't have to have an elected title to be the change you want to see in the world fannie lou hayman wasn't elected now she did run for congress but she wasn't elected to office and she shook up the president of the united states of america that was lynda baines Johnson. She started a new party. Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party.

Her and white folks who were suffering. So there's always something you can do but we cannot solely depend on elected leaders to do it but we got to make a demand and when you make a demand it has to be consequences. So what I want the black people in particular but American people all around

if you ain't got a sugar daddy, sugar mama, you in the working class. Now, you may be in the upper echelons of it, baby. You work. You got to have a sugar somebody. A trust fund. If you don't have those things, your way of life is in peril. And imagine if we united against the ultra, ultra wealthy. And wealth is a beautiful thing.

But when you got so few people to have so much and so many people to have so little it's untenable so we the people got to get up and take to the streets like they do in france and take to the street and let them in france they cut off electricity and stuff they let them know we ain't playing with you nurses teachers doctors got involved people they let them know we got to do that in the united states of america there's nothing we cannot do if we're willing to put a little extra on our ordinary and raise hell when the time comes and not be timid, meek, or mild when it comes to secure a good life for people in this country.

So you got to tell, well, damn. We on vacation next week because it would have been great to have a backup here. Tell us what was going on. I know because this Drake and Cole at the same time. That's going to be crazy. It's really going to be a moment. Even Usher, since I didn't get to see Usher in Vegas, this is like my replacement for it. So I'm excited. And Dreamville is honestly one of my favorite festivals, I guess.

Yeah. Yeah, because J. Cole is your favorite rapper. You went to St. John's because of J. Cole. Yeah, you don't have to put out mine. For real? Yeah, absolutely. And she rode a city bike for two years because of J. Cole. For real? Because she saw J. Cole on the city rapper. You went to St. John's because of J. Cole. Yeah, you don't have to put out mine. For real? Yeah, absolutely. And she rode a city bike for two years because of J. Cole. For real?

Because she saw J. Cole on the city bike. But now I got a scooter. See? And she be going up to the projects listening to people rap. Okay, now he's lying. In Queens? Now he's lying. Everything was true up until the last part.

That was kept. But so for Pastor Ox this week, it's this record from an artist named iCandy. She's actually from Florida. and she flipped the booty call. Right. Y'all remember the booty call? This is Taylor, one of our producer's favorite record. Is it? Oh, that's what she played.

How do you know that? She played it for you the other day. Yeah, I heard. It's tough. Can we get into it? Take it to the house. Yeah. Oh, my.

You can keep my ex. That's what she said, right? No. Fuck my ex. You can keep that. Uh-oh. Wow. I wasn't going to say that part.

Wow. Why your neck did like that, though? You really felt that? You turned into a sassy-ass individual just now. All right. And this is perfect for the summertime. But okay, next I'm going to get into Joey Badass' record. It's actually from his tape that dropped in July.

Okay. But he just did a music video with his new girlfriend, and it's just really cute. And the record's called Show Me. Blue the Joey Badass. Shout out to Joey Badass. That 2000 project was one of my favorite

projects of last year. Really great project. Absolutely. Denzel Curry probably had the better project but Joey's is up there. Yeah, I mean, I had Joey in my top five

albums of last year. For rap, anyway. For rap, yeah. I just think Joey's a superstar, man. I think Joey's dope. And the crazy part is I don't even think Joey has gotten to where he's actually going yet. No.

I don't think he's had that moment moment yet. Even in acting, he gets busy in acting. When I watch him act sometimes, I don't even see Joey badass. I see the character. So good. He's boasted, which is dope. It's coming, though. He's too consistent for him not to get that moment moment.

But the resume Is already crazy Absolutely Yeah So shout out to Joey Love that But right now We're gonna take it to Texas

This is Big X The plug And the record is called Levels Sound like Kevin Gates A little bit Yeah A little bit of Kevin Gates

A little bit of DaBaby A little too Yeah A little Kevin Gates A little bit of DaBaby He's from where Dallas right I don't know

or who had the better verse or whatever the case may be. And then Wednesday nights I go live on Twitch with Gabe also and then Rob Markman and Speedy Norman. And we just debate hip hop.

It's been an interesting past few weeks. And Sunday few weeks oh we talked about the 50 cent and Wayne debate so you know we brought you I saw that last night they didn't want no smoke yeah everybody up there said Wayne or smoke 50 it was unanimous even the New Yorkers they should have invited me up there we could have picked 20 songs but you but you know what I got to put you on the phone with Tez because I had Cortez calling and Tez is like it's ridiculous to say when Wayne has had

billboards for the top four decades sure I think he's had a I think Cortez said he had a top ten hit on billboard over every decade

for the last four decades yes and he said he said out of just music not just hip hop Wayne has like the number two most billboard hits

in music out of all music but I think what people should know is when it comes to verses, and I think people know this, it's not about your hits. It's about the records that influence the culture the most. That's what Wayne needs. Are you insane? But that's with 50.

50 hasn't had the most hits, but his records are, put it like this, and as a DJ, you should know as a DJ, how many Wayne records you playing in the club on your set? A lot. Maybe not up here. How many are you playing? Which ones? Name them. Wayne records? Yes, ma'am. Mrs. Officer.

Always Strat. No, the one with Gucci Man. FD. That's Steady Mobbin'. That's Steady Mobbin'. Unstoppable. Everything that he got with Drake you could play. All that Drake stuff like I was on a 24-hour champagne diet.

What are you talking about? Money to blow. See, what happens when we don't play? Nobody plays this officer. You play back that ass up every time you spin. Right, back that ass up. And Wayne would never do that on Versus. What?

Wayne would never do that on Versus. What? Wayne? Wayne would never do that on the verses. Because he only has four bars. Babble, wobble, wee, wobble, woop, wobble, bobble, bobble, bobble. But you know a lot of DJs play the hook and then he gets to Wayne's part. He's not going to rap that part. And nobody plays Miss Officer prime time in the club. What's the other one that they play? I don't know.

What's the one they play in the club all the time where they be like, I'm Wayne Moore. I got that sample. Wayne Moore flying than you. They always play that in the club down south. Right, but the records that she's saying,

they're not playing at prime time in the club. They're playing that in the early sample. I mean, about six records that I know they're playing. The only record that you said that they play prime time

is Steady Mobbin' with Gucci. Yes. They play that. They play, they'll play every, what's the joint with Every Girl?

Every Girl in the World. They play so much Lil Wayne in the club that we don't even realize it. Oh, what's the joint with every girl? Every girl in the world. Every girl they play. They play so much Lil Wayne in the club that we don't even realize it. Oh, what about the other ones? Loyal. Loyal. I ain't even looking. I'm about to look.

Loyal with Chris Brown. If we go 56, you can play whatever gangster. Primetime. Right? You can play Shorty, It's Your Birthday. No. Right? Bruh.

You can play I Get Money. A million. Those are three records. A million. Those are three. Out of Love. What's the last time you played a million in the club? Hold on.

What's the last time you played a million in the club? No, no. It's because you keep saying Out of Love. Lollipop. Why are we talking about the club when we're talking about verses? Because I'm just talking about cultural records. We're just talking 20 hits. We're talking 20 hits.

Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy.

Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy.

Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy.

Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy.

Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy. Envy, Envy, Envy. Hate it or love it. You know what somebody said last night on the rotation round table?

What, what, what? They said, of course, this was a fan that tweeted this in. They said, of course Envy feels like that about 50. He's from Queens and he gets money with 50. Oh. Shut up. 50's still my guy, yeah. Absolutely.

That's what he said. That's what he said. Because you were DJing. I'm not saying DJing. I said Clue better than drama. Because Clue is my brother. That's who I am. Well, you can be wrong. Because you a DJ, I'm a 50. I'm a DJ that say Clue better than Drama because Clue is my brother. That's who I am. Well, you can be wrong.

So you're wrong on both of those things. I like you better than anybody else too. I am from New York though, but you right. Like me, anybody. But if you put 20 to 20, I think it's going to be

a lot closer than people think. No, that's not what you said. I think 50 is going to win. Y'all make it seem like Wayne is going to blow 50 out. You made it about the club when Versus is not about the club. No, I'm just saying cultural records. I don't talk about cultural records. Wayne got mad cultural records. But just about the club. Versus is not about the club. No, I'm just saying cultural records.

I don't talk about cultural records. Wayne got mad cultural records. But just like the Lox. The Lox don't have the hits the Dipset has. Are we all in agreeance? Yes. Correct. But now when it comes to Versus, the Lox made records that are culturally big that I listen to more than Dipset.

And that's Wayne. I'll say this even if I'm 50. I love 50. I think that's 50. But that's Wayne, bro. I think that's 50. fair no what is 50 doing little wayne does something like i'm a beast i mean i'm a beast i'm a dog we got i'm a beast i mean you got so many records like the first album you got 12 records on the album that you

could play and that would be terrible got three carters that he could play you got decades you got three that would really really... You got many men. You got What Up Gangsta, Poor Little Witch, This Is How You Rob. They got records. One album, and I love 50.

You really do a How to Rob? That one album is not going... You do a How to Rob at the Versus? Listen, that one album is not... We do a Miss Officer at the Versus? That one album does not compare to Lil Wayne's catalog, bro. And I love 50.

I don't care if Miss Officer to How to Rob. Nala, you said something on the show last night that I thought was real dope. You said that we mistake impact for catalog or something like Mrs. Officer to have a ride. Nala, you said something on the show last night that I thought was real dope. You said that we mistake impact for catalog or something like that. Let's do this. Let's do this next week.

Next week, you come up early. Right? She not here. Next week. No, no. The week after that, you come up early. You play how many records? We do seven because we ain't got time to 20.

You play seven Wayne records, and I'll play 750 records. And we'll say which one's the bigger. Bro, all you're going to do is play Give Rich a Dot Time, and you're going to get smoked. I'm not going to get smoked. Matter of fact, let me pick the records. I'm not going to get smoked. Let me play 750 records. And we'll see which one's the bigger. Bro, all you're going to do is play G-Richard. You're going to get smoked. I'm not going to get smoked. Matter of fact, let me pick the records. I'm not going to get smoked. Let me pick the records. No.

Let me pick the records. No. You pick seven. I pick seven. I got you. Seven Wayne joints is easy. When we come back. When we come back from vacation.

Versus. Pass the Ox versus. Pass the Ox versus. Not a verse envy. Done. I love it. Done. And now, the loser got to do something like push-ups or something.

We got to do something. Let's do planks. I'm better at Done. And now, the loser got to do something, like push-ups or something. We got to do something. Let's do planks. I'm better at it. You better. Not even bending the rules. But we're going to do that when we come back. I get to sit on your back, Envy. You're not sitting on my back.

No, you lose. You do the black. I got to push you. Make it harder. Wait. What? Oh, my. No, I'm saying.

All right. The people's choice mixes up next. This always goes left. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Afro Nation, the world's biggest Afro Beats festival,

takes place in Miami at Lone Depot Park on May 27th and May 28th with Burner Boy, Wizkid, and more. For more information, visit usa.afronation.com. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne, the guy we are, The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. We got the brother Rip Michaels. Rip, what up? Man, I'm excited to be here, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne, the guy we are, The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. We got the brother Rip Michaels. Rip, what up?

Man, I'm excited to be here, man. We got the same color jacket, but yours is real and mine isn't. They said that you were taking your COVID test and you were taking too long, but you said somebody left you downstairs. You can't say that person's name because we can't say his name right now. I was downstairs for a minute. I started to sell waters and candy bars. like the kids on the train i was down there so long i was like i need another job because this ain't working i gotta get more famous that's what i feel like i was downstairs so long i was like rip you're not famous enough yet that's what it is i think rip man you i was gonna ask like is there anybody in the comedy world making more money than you off promoting right now um i don't really do it out for promoter i do it because I was selling out stuff by myself and I was like,

instead of being a selfish, I started bringing my friends along. I was like, why am I just doing this theater? Why don't I just involve people that don't do theaters and don't do arenas

and that's where that started from. It wasn't even like I was trying to promote it. I was just trying to open my platform for people. Wow. Rip, you did the first one.

You did the one we did way out in Westbury. Yeah, man. You're right. I was going to ask you, Rip. For y'all that don't know, Rip, he's been putting on these shows for a long time. He's been hosting my podcast.

We've been doing shows together. We just came off a tour. We did the Fallback and Love Comedy Tour, which was Little Duval. It was Monica, Mario, Jacquees, August Alsina, and Trey Songz. You've been mixing a lot of that. You know, I wanted to ask,

I was talking to somebody today, right? Why do I feel like people don't necessarily give you the support and love that you should have for doing all the stuff? Why don't I feel like people don't F with you the same

as other comedians? That's a good question. I have no reason or understanding why that is either. Like, I just don't think people realize that it's actually me doing it. I think that people think that deep down it's some other group

or I'm just selling shows, but it's actually me. When I started Wild Out, that was actually in Queens and Amazor with 1,500 people when I took my credit card, maxed it out and sold my car just to get that off the ground. And I think people don't realize that. I think that they don't understand that it's actually me out here doing it. I used to promote it with my daughter.

She used to be giving out the flyers and stuff. So that's how I started. But they gotta message you. They gotta message you because think about the lineups you'd be having. Yeah. If people didn't like you or didn't trust you, they wouldn't go on the road with you. That's a good point. That's a good point.

That's a good point. I think that it's turning over to be that. I really do start, especially with Fall Back in Love, I think people starting to realize that because no one in the country is putting on shows and selling them out in three weeks.

Like me, if you tell you, we put Fall Back on Love and we're going against everybody. We're going against, you're talking about Straight Jokes, No Chaser. We're on the same weekend as Future and we're doing bigger numbers than they are with only three weeks of promotion. Wow. Wow.

And who's in New York? You got Tiffany Haddish. Oh. April Fool's Day comedy show now. April Fool's Day comedy show. Tiffany Haddish, DaBaby, Bill Bellamy, Donnell Rawlings, HaHa Davis, Faison Love,

Emmanuel Hudson, Conceited, Adele Givens. Sounds like somebody messed with you to me, Rip. I don't know what they're trying to tell you.

I got DaBaby and Bobby Smurda too, so that's what I'm saying. I don't even understand that. I just got on the phone and I called all my friends that I know and I was like,

hey, let's do this. And we put that show on sale, what, two weeks ago? Wow. Two weeks ago. So what? Not yet, but we definitely going to hit that. We definitely going to do 15, let's do this. And we put that show on sale, what, two weeks ago? Wow. Two weeks ago. Sold out? Not yet, but we definitely going to hit that. We definitely going to do 15,000.

I mean, we sold out the garden, and I still got that record from 23 days. And I did it in a circle and did 20,000 people in 23 days. Wow. Now, you were in the middle of the Tory Lanez, August Alcina slap fest. I feel like I was coming. I knew that was coming. Not because they said some things about you, and you were upset about it for a while. First of all, to refute, that is not true.

You can see that there's a real fallback in love. You can attest to that, too, because I heard him come up here and say, oh, there is no tour. That was just a one-off. Think that he did. Remember that? He was saying all that nonsense. So, no, we took Tory off of the tour because of his behavior. As you can see, he's actually on his own tour with R. Kelly that they got coming up, and I think that's going to be crazy.

He's got to stop. Behind the bars. That's crazy. coming up. And I think that's going to be crazy. He's got to stop behind the bars. Jesus Christ. So I see he has bigger things to do. So that's Jesus Christ. What, too far? Did I go too far? What was his behavior like? Too far.

We all know Tory Lanez. I think you know Tory to just be absolutely Tory Lanez. I think that's the best way to describe it. I think, you know, he shot his shot with Meg. And he's just. This guy just doesn't stop. This guy doesn't stop. I'm sorry. Too far?

I just got to be myself, man. I just got to be myself. Y'all was watching Linnell's OnlyFans, so I figured, you know... Linnell's OnlyFans. Yeah, because you were talking about that

you want to see the elephant ears with brown sugar. Colin Green juice or whatever the hell you was talking about. Jesus Christ. And you'll be on seasons 19 and 20 of Wild N' Out. That's another. Nick Cannon definitely rocks with you. Yes.

You used to write on Nick Cannon's daytime talk show as well. Yep, head writer for that. That actually started because I was writing when he hosted for Wendy. And they offered, that's such a cool dude. They offered him Wendy's spot. And he said no. And we both turned that down and then turned it into his own huge talk show. Wow.

You was on it a couple times too definitely on it a couple times that's what I'm saying people can mess with Rip in a real way see maybe Rip

just want the underdog status you know what I mean to keep people off him but Rip people rock with Rip who would you say Envy? I don't think so see

god damn Envy should not do it I really don't think so because you know what Rip has done for the culture I think if this would have been any other comedian

I think it would be it would be giving him more accolades like we talk about some of the stuff like he sells out venues and not small theaters

not small clubs he sells out arenas like you know I was talking to Lil DeVore Lil DeVore was like yo Envy why do you DJ so much

why do you DJ like you broke and I'm like this is fun. We do this. Me and Rip do it. And we're DJing in front of 25,000 people. You know what I mean? And it's like it's all family involved.

But he does this every city. And not just the big cities, the New Yorks and the L.A.s. Like he's going to, you know, shout to Detroit. What up, Doe? He's going to Dallas. He's going to Houston. He's going to San Francisco. He's going to Oakland.

He's going to the Carolinas. So he's bringing that to all these places.. He's going to Dallas. He's going to Houston. He's going to San Francisco. He's going to Oakland. He's going to the Carolinas. So he's bringing that to all these places, but he's selling out and everybody's having a good time. I just feel like more people should be like, damn, he's doing it

because I don't see any comedian doing that on their own and putting up their own money. I wonder if people know. I mean, we know because we, you know, we in the business. I wonder how many people

Everybody. Nah, I don't think, I don't put it out there like that, to be totally honest. I don't put it out there. I all make it about the showing for the fans. And I make it about the culture. And that's us actually showing that we can do these numbers. Because, I mean, to be totally honest, probably the only minority that's out here doing these type of numbers.
