Yeah, morning everybody. We are the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news
Now I'm on the night football the Falcons beat the Raiders last night 15-9 and the Vikings beat the Bears 30 to 12
Good morning, Morgan
Good morning. Good morning. Happy Tuesday to you and the Charlemagne and just hilarious.
How y'all feeling? Good. Good. Okay. So listen, y'all. It's tragic news to report out of Madison,
Wisconsin. Police in Madison say three people are dead and several are wounded after a shooting
at a K through 12 Christian school. Madison police chief Sean F Barnes as a teacher and
student at abundant lifeant Life Christian School
were shot and killed by a teenage student.
He says the shooter has been identified as a 15 year old girl.
Let's hear more from Madison police chief Sean Barnes on that incident.
She was a student at the school and evidence suggests she died from a self inflicted gunshot
wound. The shooting happened inside a classroom in a study hall of students from mixed grades.
A second grade student called 911 to report a shooting had occurred at school.
Six people, six people were wounded in the shooting.
Two students are critical and one teacher and three students are recovering. Now two
of the injured have been released from the hospital. Police say they're still working to determine a
motive. Madison Police Chief Sean Barnes, who spoke earlier, he went on to say they are investigating
that motive and more needs to be done to prevent school shootings of this nature. Let's hear more
from the Madison Presser with police chief Sean Barnes.
Our detectives are working hard in the investigative process to find out as many answers as we can so that we can further prevent these things from happening. I think we can all
agree that enough is enough and we have to come together to do everything we can to support our students,
to prevent press conferences like these
from happening again and again and again.
Horrible, let me pull out the script.
Let me pull out the same script we use
every time something like this happens.
Fuck about it.
It's tragic, thoughts and prayers to the families,
sending healing energy to the families of the lives lost.
Oh, and nothing is gonna change
because these elected officials are owned by these gun lobbyists. It literally
is the same story every single time.
It is so damn sad, man. And it's like you said, the holidays are right here, but we
hear this, like you said, over and over and over again.
Yeah. So the White House and President Biden has been briefed on the shooting. He issued a statement as well, calling for Congress to act on gun control now.
And I'm saying it is unacceptable that we're unable to protect our children
from the scourge of gun violence.
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers called the shooting heartbreaking.
And he said the state will do what it can to support the students who survived.
Many of Madison's local officials also offered their thoughts and prayers
uh... madison's congressman mark pokin however he said thoughts and prayers are
not enough
to your point charlomane he said he's angry with republicans in congress for
not doing more
to control guns
uh... vice president kamala here's also released a statement saying there is
more work to be done to ensure that every person has the freedom to live
safe from the horror of gun violence
uh... congress and state legislatures must make background checks universal
passed red flag and safe storage laws and ban assault weapons on
again we're not necessarily sure what's happening are or are uh... what type of
weapon uh... was used outside of the fact that it was a gun.
But of course, I will keep you guys posted as this story develops.
But again, very tragic story out of Madison, Wisconsin.
Yeah, there will never be any common sense gun legislation because the elected officials are owned by these gun lobbyists.
And also, man, gun violence conversations, they can't just happen from these elected officials when mass shootings at schools happen. We need to have these combos too when CEOs are
being gunned down in the middle of Manhattan as well. Like you know those
same conversations have to happen all the time.
Absolutely. Looks like we're running out of time a little bit in this segment but
just to switch gears really quickly the Federal Reserve is set to begin its two
day policy meeting today. The Fed is widely expected to cut interest rates once again when it announces its decision
on Wednesday.
It will be the third rate and final rate cut of the year with most economists expecting
a quarter percentage point reduction.
The federal funds rate, which is the interest rate banks charge each other for short-term
loans is currently four and a half percent.
At seven we're going to talk more about, what are we going to talk more about?
Oh, the drone sightings.
Oh Lord, a lot has, we've got a lot to say more about these drone sightings.
I know you guys talked to Pete Buttigieg yesterday about it, but yeah, the conversation continues
about the drones.
So we'll talk more at seven.
Thank you, Morgan.

was able to get better

just looking up now and I did it all within six months. All I have is God.
I want to say man, no matter, yes man, it is all because of God man. I just want to just say

There's a lot of kids to watch. And I appreciate the elves on the shelf and saying all a lot of work. They got a lot of work. There's a lot of kids to watch and I appreciate the elves on the shelf and Santa and all that.
The crazy part is if you ever woke up in the middle of the night and saw them elves moving
by themselves you shoot them. Crazy. You know. You gotta shoot the drones. Hey yo. Drones is not the
elves. The drones ain't in my house. I started to shoot the fake Santa last night though because I
went downstairs because you know the Christmas likes to be flickering. My wife goes crazy for
Christmas so the Christmas likes to be flickering so they look like shadows
I'm walking and I thought I saw a shadow outside and then I look and then I saw something standing on the porch
I got it with that damn fake-ass black Santa and then you looked up you saw her it's coming on the wall
800-585-1051 now we got just with the mess coming up what we talking about little Wayne stay cool with Kendrick Drake wants to him next
Now we got Jess with the Mess coming up. What we talking about? Lil Wayne say he cool with Kendrick. Drake gonna sue him next.
Damn man.
We gonna get into it.
Alright we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club
Good morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the Mess.
The news is real whether it's the Hilarious, Jessica Robin Moore, Jess don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. All right, so Lil Wayne recently did an interview
with Skip Bayless on his show.
And during the conversation, he spoke on Kendrick Lamar.
Before we get into the audio, I just
want to remind you guys that things got a little shaky
when Kendrick was announced that he was going to be performing
for the Super Bowl halftime.
And Wayne obviously felt slighted.
But in reality, that actually had nothing
to do with Kendrick.
He just thought that he would have been up to do the Super Bowl. Bowl and when Kendrick dropped his album the song whacked out murals
He had a line in there where he did
Hit hit at low wing when he just said used to bump the car to three. I helped my rolly chain prowl irony
I think my hard work let little Wayne down there Wayne posted
Like he might he may have taken that slightly want a little smoke, you know I'm a little smoke yeah yeah but um this is what he said to skip
Bayless we got the audio yeah oh you don't okay it just came in we got it now
we got it obviously can't control that
like you don't control and also spoken to him and I wished him all the best and
told me you gotta kill it.
You gotta kill it.
Okay.
Well, did he say anything to enlighten you about these lyrics about you?
I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down.
I don't know exactly what that means.
If he's sort of...
No, there was no explanation that was needed for that.
I think I understand.
Again, that's the first time I'm hearing it when you just say it. Okay. I think I understand. Again, that's the first time hearing it when you just say it.
But I understand those words.
Like I said, I think he just mean that he made it there
and he did hard work is the reason why he made it there.
Jesus, first of all, Wayne said,
that's his first time hearing that.
That's a lie.
I'm not gonna say it's a lie.
It's a lie.
Everybody don't be tuned in to everything.
Then why would he tweet the time after that verse came out
and it says-
Because everybody was tweeting him
acting like it was smoke so he probably was
reacting to what he saw on social media. I'm not saying that... I mean I don't know
either way. Definitely listen to that. But if he said he didn't I can only take his
word but god dang it. Could we stop? Drake has suffered enough. Drake been out here
fighting for his life all year and here Wayne go calling his number one op to
congratulate him. You gonna see him now. It's the holiday season Jess.
Hanukkah's next week.
Not right now Wayne.
I know but he had to.
He had to clear it up.
What if Wayne hung up the phone with Kendrick like hey by the way you was right.
That was Knaven.
Hey yo.
Like come on man.
I know but I'm happy.
I'm happy that they cool. They ain't got no bad blood.
No nothing like that.
But what about Aubrey?
What about Aubrey? Damn. He's so busy judging Drake Contest in Toronto.
Let him do that.
Sure. That's what he want to be doing.
Like if that's your man,
you call and you make things good with the op?
Yeah.
That ain't just a little op.
That's the D-Op. Well. That ain't just a little op. That's the D-Op.
Well, according to Drake, he's a little op, but yeah, he is the biggest op.
Or maybe we think that's his man. Maybe that's not his man.
Maybe. We don't know these people's relationships like that.
So that's not his friend. We don't know. Maybe not.
We will see. Nobody's friend said. Drake always, he always tell on himself.
So we'll see how he feels. He can't hide it. He won't be able be able to hide it drink no got no friends outside of Toronto. That's why he been there
That's right. He just paid $10,000 for an extra friend that whole
Friend contest
One of y'all gonna be my friend
Anyway more Jamie Foxx details
So yesterday we reported that Jamie Foxx got into an altercation at mr.
Chow and Beverly Hills
During his birthday dinner now since we reported that more witnesses came out and an altercation at Mr. Chow and Beverly Hills during his birthday
dinner.
Now, since we reported that, more witnesses came out and revealed more details about it.
So apparently, Jamie Foxx, he was having a dinner with about 50 guests.
I didn't know that.
Remember yesterday when he knew it was like 50 people.
And his table was on the ground level of the restaurant.
Upstairs, in the VIP section, there was a Christmas party going on.
And that was the production team of Jack was a Christmas party going on and that was
The production team of jackass like, you know, Johnny Knoxville and all of them
I'm not sure obviously if the
Production team was having a Christmas party Obviously it is or maybe even coming back Johnny and then weren't there in the main cast they weren't there
It was just their production team and the production crew, they must have noticed Jamie,
like, oh, he here for his birthday,
so they sent him a drink.
Now, Jamie don't drink, but he didn't refuse the drink.
He took it, he just didn't drink the drink, right?
And when somebody was like,
those are the people that sent you to drink,
they had a laser, and it was like a penis printed laser.
Like, you know one of them little beams?
Like- Penis projector pen. Yeah, yeah, a penis projector pen. More know one of them little beans like his projector pin yeah
Yeah, I'm going to last night. She was I heard the story
You're right you probably been had a bunch of around the house crazy, but they had it on his face
And so he was offended by that like y'all like you know I mean not in front of my kids
I mean it wasn't only his kids there, but his kids were there or whatever so he was offended and so
They he got up he went over there, and it was like it was a problem they started getting upset or whatever so that's when
the glass was thrown right because he swelled up on him like no don't be
putting no penis on my face while I'm here with my family you know I mean so he swelled
up and uh he got the glass thrown and he had to immediately leave to get stitches
because obviously it was blood but his team and the other table they was
you know going back and forth so that's what happened. I understand why Jamie is upset but
that's hilarious okay I saw that last night and definitely ordered the penis projector pin
if it comes in this week great if not for the new year's Envy gonna have penis on his forehead
every show okay I'm gonna be turning the lights off just to put the penis penis projector. I'm gonna throw a glass at you then. I'm gonna throw a glass at you.
The name of the actual production team is called Dickhouse production team.
So there you go. There you have it.
It was a feel of matter.
It explains why they do things like that.
Yes, they also have penis projector pin bachelorette party favors.
And they have something called D-lasers. I can't say the word, but it's D-lasers.
D-lasers, it's the gag gift of the century.
Yo.

We gotta get to this Jay-Z stuff yo so we sent our very own Lauren LaRosa up to rock
nation yesterday she was on the floor she was there
did they have food Lauren?
they weren't trying to feed them
they had no food?
they weren't trying to feed them
no so it was like the brunch? no food? no food she was going to Daddy Be Nosey they wasn't trying to feed us. They had no food. They wasn't trying to feed us. So it was like the brunch? No food. She was going like, Daddy, we know it. They ain't trying to feed us.
I've never been to the brunch, but they didn't have any food. They had water for us. It was very quick.
So what happened? We got four minutes. Yeah, so when we got there, they went through a lot of the details that we've already talked about from the case.
Was Hove there? Who was there? No, Jay-Z was not there. We were speaking to his attorney and presented us information by his attorney Alex Spiro
Who's been heading everything and it was just like other media like a few other outlets there
So some of the things that they broke down that I thought were really important were number one
They went back through the timeline again
And remember when we were talking about this the other day MV you were like there's no houses in Manhattan
I said is no white house the biggest thing that they leaned in on and And I think that that's what they're going to lean in on if this isn't dismissed. for all ages, one you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th.

every type of musical lover.
We enjoy speaking to the people who
are the face of some movements, some people you've seen
on stage or TV or magazine covers.
But we also love speaking to the folks who
are making it happen behind the scenes
and they paved the way for those that followed, you know,
keystones to the culture.
This season, we've had some amazing one on one conversations like on PayPal chatting
up with hip maker Sam Holland, shook a Steve Chad with the legend Nick Lowe and I've had
pleasures of doing one on one conversations with Willow, Sonata Matreya, Kathleen Hanna
and The RZA. These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else. So make sure you go back and you check those episodes out. All right?

It's right like because what he was saying is if you're from New York, you know that there's no houses in Manhattan
But also too, she said that it was a 20 minute drive. So you're trying to figure out from Radio City Music Hall
on a day like the VMAs where there probably is traffic even without traffic, that 20 minute
drive now creates a timeline. So what they did was they went through and we got packets, they
went through and they actually listed out all of the homes that puff owned during the time of the
year 2000. And anytime before that, none of the homes they the year 2000 and anytime before that none of the homes
they pointed out or the White House that she described with the youth circle driveway and
also the one house that is actually in New York two homes that are in New York they just
don't fit the description everything else was in Jersey.
Yeah the Alpine houses in Jersey which is about a 45 minute drive 40 minute drive.
The timeline was a lot about puff house.
Okay.
You're right.
I do my homework.
45 minutes.
Okay. He sure damn did. You know what I'm saying? You all right, Envy? I do my homework. 45 minutes.
I'm sure you were studying.
I'm sure you were studying.
All right.
They also talked a lot about, because you know, the VMAs are televised.
That was the year that Eminem did that.
Was it the Slim Shady performance where he had all the dressing lights outside?
So it's heavily, there's video, there's photo.
In that video, they talk a lot about the fact that she said that she was able to walk up
and run into a limousine driver.
The way that the streets were blocked off and you could see it in the photos because they were preparing for that performance
But also just because of the arrivals and drop-off setup
You wouldn't have been able to just like it was barricaded off from the people you wouldn't be able to walk up and knock on
The limousine according to what Jay-Z's attorney Alex Spiro was saying now another thing that was really important was the fact that she said in her
Testimony in the complaint that she watched the show
from a Jumbotron and then she was picked up later by the limousine.
They went and according to Alex Bero, I have not confirmed this myself, they went and looked
at permits that year for the show.
There were no permits submitted for a Jumbotron.
There was no Jumbotrons and even when you watch Eminem's performance from where she's
saying she's picked up, you don't see Jumbotron.
So they were just doing a lot of that.
But we do have some audio because we were able to ask questions at the end of it.
And one of the things we've been talking about in this room is what happens if this is dismissed?
Will there be a defamation lawsuit that comes after that?
So I asked, well, I do want to hear the attorney say it.
So I asked the attorney Alex beer about that.
And here's what he had to say.
If this case is dismissed after that, are you guys decided indefinitely to file anything in addition like a defamation lawsuit? about that and here's what he had to say. thing today was to make sure that everybody understands this is not an account of inconsistencies I wanted everybody to understand that this never
happened this is completely false and then we'll move forward from there now
another thing that okay now they will say you know Buzz we're not gonna have
the opportunity to take on anybody else's cases because he gonna be too
Billy fighting his own mm-hmm yeah another thing that I thought was
interesting too when he said this I was like, oh the brunch ain't the brunch
I guess no more so as someone in the room another one of the reporters asked, you know
Jay-z has been making all these statements, but he has never mentioned Diddy in any of the statements Diddy is involved in his case
He's named in the same doc. What's going on with that? Does he plan to mention puff? Let's take listen
Mr. Carter has nothing to do with mr. Combs case or Mr. Combs. They knew each other professionally for a number of years
just like in all professions people know each other. At the music awards they
support each other. If you go to the NBA All-Star game they support each other
that's just how professions work. There is no closer association between any of
them that's also a matter of fiction. That's all that there is. He doesn't
know anything about the charges for allegations against him.
He has nothing to do with that case.
And there's nothing worth saying.
I mean, yeah, just because you see people
at industry events, just because you see people
even working together, doesn't mean they are friends.
They are peers.
You trying to tell me up until this minute,
you never thought Jay-Z and Puff were actually friends
outside of just like, we make music together.
Cause that shocked me.
When you said that, I said, whoa.
That would get, what?
I thought that they were friends.
Did he, I thought that Diddy, yes, I thought that Diddy and Jay-Z were friends. It makes sense you're gonna distance yourself right now, that I said whoa they were friends I thought that did he yes I thought that did he and Jay-Z were friends it makes
sense you gonna distance yourself right now but I thought that they were friends
and I thought that you could look at photos and disprove what Alex Sparrow
just said I thought that that was a big thing for him to say I don't know I
never thought about it to be honest with you I thought they were I thought they
were friends but like I don't know the inside and outside of their lives but I
thought they were friends but like you said I take a picture with a lot of people who do I consider them friends?
They come to my house. They come up with Thanksgiving. Do they know my kids? Do they know my parents?
Yeah, no, not necessarily do we do take pictures a lot and in this industry you see the same people over and over again
So you do so I would assume that they are but yeah, once you break it down like that
Maybe they not wait just called Kendrick and said congratulations. You better kill it kill it
Wayne just called Kendrick and said congratulations, you better kill it, kill it, kill it. Oh that's crazy.
And I'm not like us twice.
But y'all know how, y'all know how I feel about friends.
I feel like, yeah, you have to, you can't just throw around the word friend.
Like a friend means your confidence, somebody that you can go and sleep over at their house.
You can run, like, nah, you can't say a friend, you can say associate in the industry or in
the business, but if we never knew them to be friends, then we can't just assume that
they were.
And why do we assume?
We're just the public on the outside looking in how we gonna tell you know, that's your friend
The perception thing but honestly I was thinking about it like this like if it is just a perception thing if buzz we even tries
To hit back with like oh well look at the photos look at what puff said it remember that you're at the Grammys and he
Talked about and Jay-Z was there whatever
It's just perception the same way like it you can argue, it's just perception.
And Busby got a lot of other things to worry about
because the way that they broke this down,
timeline, it doesn't, it really doesn't make sense.
So they have, I'm interested to see
what Busby's response is going to be to us.
Perception is not reality.
Like you ain't never been hunting a day in your life,
but you're killing with that Duck Dynasty fit.
Oh, you see that?
Maybe.
I'm from South Carolina, so I love the Duck Dynasty fit.
At least it was a kind, I didn't know where you was going.
It's not deer hunting season anymore, but you're still killing it.
You ain't ever been tall in your life and look at you.
We also seen Puff say, you know, my brother Jay-Z, this is my brother, we're brothers.
So when you hear that term, it makes people assume that you guys are closer than just
associates.
And maybe it's just like my brother in the business.
Everybody just stop throwing that brother-sister thing around so much. The judge said sleepover.
You ain't sleeping over at Puffy House, allegedly.
Who ain't sleeping over at Puffy House?
You know.
Embi.
Embi know every house.
Embi before you even said the house Embi was saying, I know this house.
Embi.
Embi.
Embi.
Embi.
Embi.
Embi.
Embi.
Embi.
Embi.
Embi. Embi. Embi. Embi. Embi. houses that was what you're a group no it's not Logan Logan man is that man up
for the holidays is when you're young when you're young and you're trying to
make it those that was my inspiration I used to drive and I talk about it in the
book I used to drive by rich neighborhoods to look at the houses and
be like one day I want a house like that I one day I want to live there one day I
want that until I was able to purchase it was in the lawn with his shirt off and he said it's that thirsty mother
F a ride by here
Should have said gave me baby or that's what you should give him a drink. I don't want to drink you drinking out of holes
Thank you, Jess
That was just with the mess. Oh my gosh.
You said custard?
Come on, we gotta go.
Come on.
No answer left.
Get out here, Duck Dynasty.
That is nasty.
All right, Duck Dynasty.
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
You're here for litigiousness.
That's it.
Goodbye.
Dang.
All right, when we come back, we got front page news and then Paul Waller will be joining
us as the Breakfast Club.
That was nasty.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. It's the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Jess
Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page
news. Start off with some quick sports now in football. Monday Night Football, the Falcons
beat the Raiders 15-9 and the Vikings beat the Bears 32-12. Good morning Morgan. Good
morning Envy, Charlamagne and Jess Hilarious. Y'all all right? Yes. Good. Okay. So yeah, we're talking about these
drone sightings y'all. So the White House says a rash of drone sightings have been seen
across the Northeast and they are legal and lawful in the air. White House National Security
Council spokesman John Kirby said on Monday that there is no national security threat
and the activity seems to be from commercial,
hobbyists or law enforcement drones. Let's hear more from White House National Security
Council spokesman John Kirby.
We've done the detection and analysis. We've corroborated the sightings. And in every case
that we have examined to date, we have seen nothing, nothing that indicates a public safety
risk. This is a collection of law enforcement hobbyists, commercial drones,
and of course civil aviation aircraft that have caused all these sightings.
And it's not attributable to an actor for a purpose.
To date, our assessment is that this is lawful, legal, commercial, hobbyist, and even law enforcement aircraft activity. Some of it's
manned, some of it's unmanned. We also know that I don't believe I don't believe John Kirby. I think
they have no idea what those things are and it is and if they do know it's absolutely uh you know
the wrong thing to tell people it's not a public safety risk. If manned or unmanned SUV sized
vehicles are flying in
the air over residential areas. What if one of them things crashes into a house? That's
not a public safety risk?
It is.
What do you got on that?
Absolutely. So Kirby also noted that more than a million drones are registered with
the FAA. So at least let's hope that each one of those are registered so that way if
something happens, God forbid, we'll have something to go off of there.
But anyways, that being said, Kirby added that the federal government continues to assist
state and local law enforcement in investigating these drone sightings.
Meanwhile, President-elect Trump claims the government knows exactly what these mysterious
drones are flying over the U.S.
Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach yesterday, Trump said one flew
over his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Let's hear more from the president-elect in regards to these drones.
It'd be better off saying what it is our military knows and our president knows.
And for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense.
Our military knows where they took off from.
If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage.
They know where it came from and where it went I really don't like the drones and what really really
bothers me is they're able to fly over somebody's house right so you're not
protected like you could put a fence up to block anybody from driving in but
somebody could just shoot a drone a random person could shoot a drone a
robber a burglar because could see if you're home they could fill in your
house if you got kids they could film your kids I don't like it it's It's gonna get to the point where people are gonna take the law into their own hand
and start shooting them issues down. And what if it crashes? Yeah. And I will say Trump is correct.
You know I always said the language of politics is dead so you might as well just be up front
with the people. He's right. You know simply tell the people what it is if you know what it is. And
the American people are big boys and girls. We can handle it. I mean hell nobody afraid of them now.
Them things been flying over us for weeks and we still more afraid of getting hit from
The back by Diddy and he's in jail
Lord Jesus. Okay. Nothing. Nobody is scared of that. Yeah
Trump yeah
He did say people do have a right to know and he doesn't understand why in his words
the government wants to keep people in suspense.
Switching gears on Trump though, his criminal convictions in New York live on for now.
After the judge in the case rejected one of Trump's demands to dismiss his case, state
judge Juan Mercan presided over Trump's 34 felony convictions for falsifying business records related to payoffs to porn stars.
Stormy Daniels ruled against Trump late on Monday.
This was his request to dismiss based on the Supreme Court's decision on presidential criminal immunity.
Now Trump can and will likely appeal this.
He also asked for a dismissal connected to his election win, arguing convictions would impede his ability to govern.
Prosecutors want to keep them in place and delay sentencing
until Trump is out of office.
Judge Merkin could rule on that dismissal request
as early as this week.
Now, speaking of criminal situations,
we all saw this coming.
Embattled New York City Mayor Eric Adams,
he might get some legal help from President-elect Trump
I'm in a press conference on Monday from Mar-a-Lago Trump said he would look at potentially pardoning Adams who is facing federal charge
Fraud and corruption charges now the president-elect went on to say that he wasn't familiar with the specifics regarding Adams
Charges in his case
however Adams I
Was gonna say Adams isn't commenting on the issue, but
he actually has released a comment. Now Trump says he would consider pardoning Eric Adams.
Let's hear more from Trump on Adams and that pardon.
Yeah, I think that he was treated pretty unfairly. Now I haven't seen the gravity of it all,
but it seems, you know, like being upgraded in an airplane many years ago.
I know probably everybody here has been upgraded.
They see you're all stars.
I said, you know what, he'll be indicted soon.
And I said it, not as a prediction, a little bit lightheartedly, but I said it.
I said, he's going to be indicted.
And a few months later, he got indicted.
So Eric Adams, he has actually reacted to Trump's comments in regards to possibly pardoning
him.
And he instead he actually said he's going to continue to basically take heed to the
advice of his lawyer.
Let's hear from Mayor Eric Adams.
No Americans should be going through what I'm going through.
And what my attorney decides to do, I'm going to follow the direction of my attorney.
I did nothing wrong.
I should not have been charged.
And I just think, you know, God has a way of showing the irony of life.
Yeah.
So there you have that.
I feel like, you know, Mayor Adams, when he said that he was willing to sit down and work
with you.
By the way, that's how it should be, right?
Like you, if you're an elected official, you're a mayor, you're a governor, you should wanna work with the President
of the United States of America.
So, I mean, it's not a, I don't really have a thought on it.
Like, I don't have a really have a thought on it.
All right, well, we'll continue to watch it.
Adams, of course, is accused of accepting
at least $100,000 in travel benefits
in the federal indictment that includes charges
of wire fraud and bribery.
It's all reportedly connected to his alleged contributions to his
2021
2020 2021 mayoral contain campaign from a Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him
He of course he has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence in that case
So that's pretty much it for your front page news today
I'm Morgan would follow me on social at Morgan Media for more news coverage. Follow at Black Information Network. Download the free iHeartRadio app and visit us at BINnews.com. Talk to y'all later.

That's what they voted me.
You know what I'm sayin'?
And I like that, you know,
cause you know how y'all age sometimes.
You know, not like bananas.
Jesus, don't look too close,
cause the wrinkles is wrinkly.
Don't look too close.
I look good with the filters, but yeah.
I bet your wife said, sit your ass down.
Hey man.
Get off that damn Instagram. You know, she, the funny thing, she's the main one been tellin' me, I look good with the filters, but yeah. I bet your wife said, sit your ass down. Hey, man.
You got that damn Instagram.
You know, she, the funny thing,
she's the main one been telling me,
hey, don't dye your hair, let it be gray,
let your song fade.
Don't quit cutting the bald fade.
You know, I'm south side bald fade,
but you know, after a while, you know what I'm saying,
when it start growing back, it don't grow back right.
So she said, let me, you need to grow your hair out.
I thought she was just hating on me. I thought she was just hating on me. Yeah, I thought she was just a number. She was setting
me up. She was setting me up. I want to ask you about B King. What was that loss to Houston?
Man, he had such a hell of a club run where his name was club God. That was the perfect
name for him. I'm talking about B King is somebody who could have done a show
for an hour straight and I'm talking about nothing but club bangers back to back to back
to back to back. And when you go to the club, especially anywhere in Texas, that's what
you would hear is B King. Boy, I'm talking about club god, man, B King, that was a perfect
name for him, man. He rocked the club, man.
That's a piece to B King.
Absolutely.
And you, I didn't know you had surgery?
Yeah. Oh, you're talking about my weight loss surgery? Yeah. That was a long time ago. Yeah, that surgery.
How long was that? That was about 2009 and New Year's Eve. Yeah, I had the gastric
sleeve. That's when your boy was that 350. You was 350? I never seen you with a 350.
Oh yeah, I hit it well. That's Paul House. That was a, that. That was the tall T-Ero.
So, you know, we could hide it well.
You know what I'm saying?
I could hide it well.
What got you to that weight?
Was it always eating?
Was it, was you using drugs?
Like, what got you there?
Man, I think some of it was lifestyle.
Some of it was, you know, a roller coaster of trying to lose weight, taking diet pills,
sipping syrup, maybe drinking alcohol,
all the other stuff too.
It definitely messed up my metabolism.
So it was something where I would be on a full fledged,
like hard, tough, strict diet, strict regimen,
a training working out, and six months go by,
you lose four pounds.
So it's very deflating and just isn't
it's not motivating whatever the opposite of motivating is but one of my
homeboys man one of the biggest gangsters I know he was like man I want
to go get lap band and I was like man that band was just you know I don't know
man I just to me that wasn't something the gangsters did or players did you
know and he was like man nah forget that man it's gonna save my life you you know, you want to die, you know, because he was going through some of
the same thing, he sipped a lot of syrup too, he was taking diet pills, all of that, and
it was just a roller coaster of messing up his metabolism, and when he went, he was like,
say, man, I want you to come, I don't know if he really wanted to get it, or he was just
trying to convince me to kind of get it, because he ended up not getting anything.
Because you was the guinea pig, You were like, you go first.
Let's see how it works out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Man, that's funny.
It definitely worked.
It saved my life, man.
My only regret is I didn't do it sooner because, man, if I knew I could have been skinny like
this and I ain't got to work out of nothing, I don't got to do nothing.
But do you wish you would have waited now that the ozempic is real heavy in campaigns?
I do see that and I'm like, damn, maybe that's all I would have had to do.
And I could have been a spokesman do see that and I'm like damn maybe that's all I would have had to do and I could
have been a spokesman, you know.
I'm trying to be the spokesman for the sleeve, but I ain't no doctor trying to pay me. How does it affect your eating?
So you just not hungry or just not hungry? You just get full real quick, real quick. Man, so like for instance last night
I had something to eat like a little gyro and I had two bites. That was it. I was full.
All these years later it still has that effect?
Yeah, it still works.
Wow.
Now we haven't heard from you in a while, your fans, like musically.
So describe the energy of this album now.
One new album.
What you on now?
It's called Once Upon a Grind, produced by my boy DJ Fresh and also G-Luck Beat On from
Houston, my boy Beans and Cornbread.
My boy DJ Fresh did most of the production, he's from the west coast.
He's real musical, he does a lot of anything, keys or keyboards or synth or guitars, he
plays every instrument.
But it's a real musical, just in the production.
It's real motivating, once upon a grind, it's all about just putting your best foot forward,
being your best self, giving your all and everything, you know what I'm saying?
Just trying to progress, even if it's little by little, just making progress in your life.
Whatever you're setting goals and just trying to accomplish them.
So that's what the whole album is about.
It's just what I'm trying to convey with the message, you know what I'm saying, with it, once upon a grind.
You ever thought about going back and doing a whole project with Swishy House artists like Mike Jones, of course Thugger Thugger, or Chamei Ney. You ever thought about that? No, you still in contact with those artists?
Man, I be on them to do this all the time. First of all, let me start off with the boss
Slim Thug. Slim Thug is the most, like he is the biggest boss but when it comes to rapping,
he's like, you know, like we'll be like in New York and be like, hey, let's go to the
studio. He be like, man, go to the studio. Let's go to the club. He like the party. My
boy like the party. He be like, man, studio, we can go to the studio he'd be like man go to the studio let's go to the club right he liked the party my boy liked the party he'd be like man studio we can go to the studio anytime
he got a studio in his house so for instance if I like he's on my new album hey I need
you on my album bet send him a song he do it in 15 minutes so if we're in a situation
where it's like uh I'm a little different like I'm like hey we in New York let's capture
the moment let's go in the studio let's capture this energy and do something but Slim is like
man we can go to the studio anytime man
There's no difference. We go to steal now or tomorrow. So that's slim. So slim is not like really
Motivated to get in there and knock it out
Yes now we if we tell them hey we got a deal or we need to do this or whatever
Yeah, for sure you motivated in like anytime we got a deadline or something
But I didn't did that was slim where we do a whole entire mixtape in a day, you know
I've done that with him, you know, I've seen him do that plenty of times
So he's not really like pressure to let's get it going. Okay now Mike Jones Mike Jones all over the place
He kind of making a comeback with his music
He kind of was you know out of the scene for a while, you know in terms of shows like me and slim
We tour all the time. We don We on the road every single weekend. Mike Jones kind of took a break for
a while. Now he's coming back out. He's got new music coming out. He's definitely on the
road again.
You got a new number?
He does have the same number. I think he has the same number. Actually, you know what?
I think he's trying to get it back. I think they lost it and then he's trying to get it
back for some reason but because
the phone number gets so many calls it's not like a normal bill it's like an inflated bill
so like I know he'll get like a $10,000 phone bill like it's crazy but
And you said he was with what was he doing during that time because he was missing for
a minute I think he was just enjoying life because
we would see him every now and then in the shows and every time we see him
You're looking good. He's still rocking it still killing it
But you know we wouldn't really see him in the studio too much or dropping too much music
But now I know he's dropping some music now if we were to all do a project like that
I'm pretty sure Mike Jones would probably be involved with that. He probably would be down
But I think right now he's kind of more focused on getting you know his own solo stuff going you know
Sam but I think you probably will be down.
The community of the last.
The community in there.
Man, look.
Tech rich.
Man, he ain't trying to do no music, man.
He got so much money right now.
Whatever tech money he got, whatever investments, the crypto he got.
Look, let me tell you, I talk to him about this all the time because the way the music
industry has evolved.
He's always been this way where he not trying to give nothing away.
He really appreciates the value of his music.
And he's not giving it away.
He's not signing a deal where he's getting screwed over
just because it's a good look.
No, he's not about none of that.
He's straight business and he really values his art
that he creates.
So you know what I'm saying?
With that, it takes a certain type
of label to sign him who has the same vision as him where they're not just all about the dollars
and cents they're not just all about just you know whatever is going to make a splash or go viral
you know he needs the right type of partner. Are you the glue behind everybody or you the glue that talks to
everybody you the main person that talks to everybody? I don't know I would maybe say Slim Thug might be the glue you know Slim Thug is maybe the
more of the glue I would say but I mean I don't know I don't have any problems with
any of them none of us have any problems with each other you know what I'm saying but we're
all you know we're all brothers so we support each other to the fullest whatever each one
of us is doing we definitely support you know um but yeah obviously Slim Thug might keep in contact with all of us a little
bit more than I do maybe um but we all you know we all boy.
Alright we got more with Paul Wall when we come back don't move it's the Breakfast Club
good morning.
Morning everybody it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club
we're still kicking it with Paul Wall.
Jess?
I saw an interview where you had said growing up,
you didn't realize you was white.
I didn't, I didn't know.
White people told me I was white.
Oh, the white people came back to recruit you.
Yeah, they was like, you white.
Why you talking act like that?
You white, and I'm like, what do you mean?
Where was this?
At Houston?
When was some, where were you?
What was that exactly?
When was the moment I discovered I was white?
Yes, what is that? I don't know, definitely in school, Where were you? What was that exact moment? The moment I discovered I was white.
What is that?
I don't know. Definitely in school, elementary school maybe or middle school. I remember that.
But I mean all my friends were black or Mexican or Asian. I lived in a very diverse neighborhood.
There was white people there but it was Mexican, black, Vietnamese, Indian, all kind of every
a lot of everything you know even you know it was like you know FBA you know
black but it was also like a lot of immigrants black like Kamena he's
Nigerian you know there were other you know immigrants they were black as well
but so we got a great mixture of you know growing up in America I guess And when they told you you was white you was like damn man how did you cry?
He's short
Did you cry?
I would have cried if I wouldn't cried in the car
Mom you ain't tell her I was white
But my mama didn't take a DNA test she 3%
Ah 3% what black? I don't care
Yeah, yeah
So I mean I know she can't say the N word that ain't enough for her to say the N word.
You ever took a nap?
No, no, no.
How did you meet Johnny Day?
Man, Johnny, man, I started out, actually I was actually selling grills before I met
Johnny.
I stopped to really kind of pursue my music a little bit more.
At the time, I was just another wholesale client.
I wasn't like famous or nothing like that.
Even I was trying to rap, but I wasn't established.
This was even before Swisher House days really.
So when he brought me to Johnny, I'm just a wholesale client.
Now as I start rapping in the Swisher House, this is pre-internet, nobody knows what anybody
look like.
They just kind of hear the voice and it's slowed down so you don't really hear exactly
how I sound, which you might hear tonight. This is why I used to always say my name at the start of every word it
do is powwow because there's no you don't know who I am but you're gonna hear that at least you're
gonna know my name. Yeah. So one time you know I be in Johnny's all the time we're on the southwest
side of Houston where okay the southwest side of Houston got a lot of different accents and it's
all English but it's just different accents then also also it's the hood. So you got a Mexican hood accent, you got a black
hood accent, you got the Asian hood accents, you also got people from
Louisiana coming in with their Louisiana accent. So you know and all of that and
Johnny being a Vietnamese immigrant himself who speaks English but is difficult to understand. He needs closed captions sometimes. He worked on it a lot but some of it still, you Accent. Like this kind of, I guess, for immigrants trying to lose their accent.
But it was so that I would sound more white so that I could be more appealing in movies.
And I'm like, man, I don't want to sound like this.
A label can't do that on.
So man, I don't even want to say this.
That's messed up, yo.
I guess they did it in good means, but I was slightly offended by it.
But it's funny, because Johnny had the same exact disc.
You know what I'm saying?
Hallelujah.
I said it.
None of y'all have both the music.
Because I posted it, and Johnny was like, bro,
I got the same disc.
Man, it's crazy.
He ain't sound that good.
He ain't sound that good.
He might need volume, too.
He got the first one, edition.
Did you have any influence on Megan's latest grills?
The one that she had in Bigger In Sex video?
Man, big shout out to Megan.
Hey.
Matter of fact, we got these same grills.
They're called a honeymoon set.
Johnny, we made them, of course, you know what I'm saying?
But yeah, we call it the honeymoon set
because there's at least a carrot on each tooth.
So every tooth is a waiting ring, you know?
But she got- That **** is hard.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You ever get upset that your name's not included? Like it'll say Megan Thee Stallion got a grill
from Johnny Dang or Sauce Walker got a new half million dollar chain from Johnny Dang.
Never. I think about that sometimes. I mean sometimes like people will say,
hey why they ain't saying that man? Never, never, never. You know, I mean,
the goal, the mission is accomplished. The mission was never for me to be famous or any of that even the first time I sold grills
You know even up till now is not to make money is to hook my homeboys up
You know when I first got when I first got my first set of grills
I went back to the block they like damn when you get those and we came with something new where it was like
Okay, I couldn't afford something. I wanted nice. So, you know, I couldn't afford diamonds or nothing like this
I just want to go white on yellow gold and give me like a white where it was like, okay, I couldn't afford something I wanted nice. So, you know, I couldn't afford diamonds or nothing like this.
So I just wanted the gold, I wanted yellow gold
and give me like a white.

[♪ music playing, Quest Love Supreme with gifts you definitely don't want to miss. Now one of the things I love about
this Quest Love Supreme podcast is we got something for everybody, every type of musical ever.
We enjoy speaking to the people who are the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage
or tv or magazine covers, but we also love speaking to the folks who are making it happen behind the
scenes and they paved the way for those that followed. You know, keystones to the culture.
This season, we've had some amazing one-on-one conversations, like on PayPal chatting up
with hit maker Sam Holland, shook Steve Chad with the legend Nick Lowe, and I've had pleasures
of doing one-on-one conversations with Willow, Sonata Matreya, Kathleen Hanna, and The RZA.
These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else. So make sure you go back
and you check those episodes out, alright? Listen to Questlove Supreme on the iHeart
Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I go strip on the tip with little diamond cuts so it'll make you think I got diamonds
but I don't. I went back to the block and they like damn okay everybody want one so I'm like
okay how can I get all my 20 homeboys and my cousins this that what you know how can
I get everybody grills you know for the same price I paid or for a discount I'm not trying
to make money off of I'm trying to hook them up so that they shining so that when we all
pull up we all like damn y'all must be from GoFank cuz all y'all on GoFank shine like that so that's what it was all about was just
about hooking my friends up when my name not included I don't even care about
none of that honestly because you know I mean you know I did my part I put my boy
on you know he's the man if people want grills they come to him and honestly it
be a huge headache for me they come to to me. They want free grills, you know
They don't they know they gonna pay with you go with me they think they get free grills
So it's like okay. Look, I can some people free girl, but I mean a honeymoon set
I don't know you getting a honeymoon set free, you know, Megan might be a little different
of course you go hook Megan up, but you know saying like
Yeah, I ain't never worried about that man. Shaluta my boy Johnny Megan might be a little different, of course you can hook Megan up, but you know what I'm saying?
I ain't never worried about that, man.
Salute to my boy Johnny Daniel.
I want to ask you about the Houston music scene, right?
When you think of Megan, Travis Scott, Don Toliver,
do you think Houston artists have to have a Houston sound?
Sauce Walker too, yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
What's off got to Houston sound?
I mean, you know,
big salute to all of the fresh new artists
that are holding it down for Houston and for
Texas.
I mean, the Houston style is so diverse.
You know, I mean, we do have a chorus sound or like a chorus slang, a little accent, but
I don't think so.
You got Toby Nwigwe where he's doing his own style.
You definitely hear the Houston in him though, you know, Sauce Walker, he brought something
completely new to the table to represent.
He birthed a whole new branch of the hip hop tree in Houston, you know, with his style.
You know, he created a new Houston style with it, you know what I'm saying?
But even in that, you hear the Houston, you know, sometimes he got some screw and chop
here and there hooks, or he, you know, makes some references, or he got, you know, this
and that, you know, whatever slabs, you know, he definitely got some Houston influence in there, but he makes some references or he got this and that, whatever slabs or
this.
He definitely got some Houston influence in there, but he does it his own way.
Same with Megan, she do it 100% her own way.
Don Toliver, Travis Scott, they for sure represent Houston, they got that Houston style, but they
do it their own way.
They birthed new versions of the Houston style, same way like the ghetto boys you know were Houston but you know the screwed up clique was a
different kind of form of you know the Houston style you know and the
Swisher House was like a you know a product of that you know of course me
being a screw head growing up influenced by the screwed up clique you know and
then so the people influenced by us who came after us they're gonna be you know
definitely man you know but I don't think they have to you know it's not like a monolithic type of style
where you know it used to be like when we came up if you didn't sound like this
you're not making it you're not making it but there's a you know there's a lot
of artists in Houston that you know they come with a you know something different
but you still hear the Houston in them but it's just something different and I
salute I salute them for just doing a thing whatever it is
You know you got to follow your path, and I just I'm happy to see how it's grown
You know I'm saying that the hip-hop tree is definitely flourishing in Houston
Well, let's get into a joint off down what you want to hear
Swing down me and zero power while zero we flip that SWV rain my boys beans and cornbread
They produced it you know got my boys Zero on there with me.
Crywall and Big Tunker. Yeah let's go. Let's get into it right now.
We got more with Paul Wall when we come back is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning everybody it's DEJNV, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Paul Wall. Jess?
Now you've dealt with a lot of traumas in your life and I was watching a podcast where you sat down with Quincy and Fuzzy
and you opened up about your biological dad who was, you said, a serial child molester.
What effect did that have on you?
That had a huge effect on me.
One, growing up with a single mother, having a very small family, it made us tight knit.
It made me appreciate family.
It made me always want family, it made me aware,
I was hyper aware of the molestation type of stuff.
You know, and it also made me become an advocate,
as I got older in life, you know, my girl Miss Parker
from Parents Against Predators, we do a lot in the
community just in regards to that.
But just personally, what it did to me was from,
as long as I can remember, it instilled something into me
to say, I'm gonna be a good father.
No matter what, I'm gonna be a good father.
I'm not gonna let anything come between me and my kids.
I hope when I used to pray for one day to have kids,
like I literally, I tell my kids this all the time
on their birthdays, like man, I used to pray for you.
You know, so it always would make me like want to be a good father, make me want to be the best
father I could be.
Also man that interview too, after that interview came out I found out I got a cousin.
Somebody seen it and they was like hey you thought you didn't have no cousin, you got
a cousin.
So you know I'm real grateful for that.
I got a you know my shout out to my cousin Gina
and her whole family of kids all of them man. But yeah it definitely was something that you know was
heavy on me my whole life. Also you know it makes you realize that some people are walking around
with trauma and you don't know it. You know so it makes you you know just because somebody has a
smile doesn't mean they're happy. You know just because somebody has a smile doesn't mean they're happy you know just because somebody has a
Frown or a mean look don't mean they're mad at you. They could be going through something so you know it just
It just it did definitely taught me a lot. Yeah, your mom was a strong woman you said
Your mom had y'all so scared that your dad would come and kidnap. Oh, yeah
Yeah, cuz he had kidnapped the woman and married her. Yeah. Yeah, he kidnapped. He kidnapped a woman
kidnapped the woman and married her. Yep, yeah, he kidnapped a woman, man.
A girl.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and married her.
Man, this girl was 12 years old,
and he kidnapped her when she was 15,
and I don't know, man, he got some type of judge
to sign off on the marriage, took her to Canada.
Then next thing you know, something happened,
they came back.
You know, it's a tragic story.
She ended up committing suicide when she came back.
And it's sad.
The crazy thing about that is that at that time,
we would see my father on the weekend,
my biological father on the weekends,
or every other weekend.
So sometimes we'd go over there and he'd be like,
oh, there's new girlfriends over there.
And I'm four years old, I don't know.
But it's a 12 year old in a wig with makeup.
We know that now, but at the time we don't know you know but it's a 12 year old in a wig with makeup you know we know that now but at the time we don't know that I'm just saying
oh it's my dad's you know girlfriend or something and it's it's so crazy to
think like that damn you that close to you know that but you know we four years
old you do you don't even know what's wrong you know what's going on but it's
just it's tragic just you know of course that was my biological father so it's
hard for me but I mean of course it's worse. Of course that was my biological father, so it was hard for me, but I mean,
of course it's worse for the girl, you know what I'm saying?
Or whoever, he did something too.
So I never look at myself like I was a victim,
or even the trauma I experienced,
I kinda put it under the rug.
I feel more for the victims that he hurt,
you know what I'm saying?
Like damn, what about them?
I mean, I don't really look at my own,
but for sure, my mom, we used to walk around with a air horn like tied
around my neck so they if you can it man this one kindergarten cop came out to
and so I was terrified I was gonna get kidnapped and I remember one time one
time me and my sister at home it was like during the summer or it's like
something when my mom was doing something
and we just at home and I remember my biological dad
came to the door, knocked on the door
and I went and looked at the people
and I remember being so scared I could not move.
I'm just sitting there just like, oh, what do I do?
I couldn't move and I'm scared to move,
he gonna see me or whatever.
Man, I'll never forget that but yeah,
my mama definitely, she had us prepared
She had us prepared
The album
I mean it's still tipping to a game and we
Started off we did the Texans halftime show.
In March.
I kind of said it.
Yeah, I kind of said it almost like as a joke.
Like, hey, we're doing a stuff-tipin tour.
But when we said that, our phone started blowing up.
We had people live, all kind of people, more AD.
Everybody just hitting us trying to, hey,
I want to book 20 shows right now.
How much?
I want to book 10 shows, this and that.
But we couldn't get it together, man. I wish we I wish we could but it could get together. That's what happened
You spoke too early. Yeah, you just kind of plan see I did something like that like before I got this job, right?
I'm the host of the breakfast up Danny pick me up. You know I'm saying and then I thought I didn't get the job
I'm like damn. maybe I shouldn't have done it.
But I'm here today, so maybe we might get something.
I'm still doing tour, we coming to the Braves Club.
Paul Wall, Mike Jones, Slim Tho.
We coming.
Hold on, I do have one more question from Hip Hop.
This is my last question.
Yes, sir.
When T.I. this little flip, he mentioned your name in there.
I always felt like conflicted about that.
Exactly, I wanted to add that,
because that's what kind of blew you up.
Everybody was like, damn, Paul Wall
get a grip on Paul Wall.
Paul Wall, maybe the hardest grill ever bought, son.
Yeah, man, I remember being at Bayou Classic in New Orleans
and people being like, passing out flyers,
and somebody saying, hey, I might have been passing out
my own album or buy some grills or something
I remember people being like powwow. Hey, you know what TI like and it being like damn, okay
They my boy got some reach, you know, this is when he was just before he blew up
Of course, he got reached now he's reaches the world. But he dissing Lil Flip, Houston legend
That was the hard part because me and Flip being friends too as well
It's like damn, of course Flip gonna feel a certain way, you know, he gonna be like damn he rocking with him that's how it is. Yeah. And I of course he gonna
feel that way just no way he couldn't. And you know I could be like well yeah we friends
but I'm not choosing the side. I mean I don't know what to do you know what I'm saying.
It just put me in a tough situation. I mean the way I dealt with it is I just you know
laid low. You know what I'm saying. Tried to stay out of it. I really tried not to do
too much explaining publicly
because a lot of times they just make it worse.
You know, but it definitely put me in a hard spot,
you know what I'm saying?
It was good for business though.
It was good for business, definitely.
T.I. definitely gave me that shot,
pow wow, turn the bling down in your mouth.
Oh yeah, definitely was good for business.
But I mean, at the same time, Lil Flip probably is like,
man, I ain't never get no grip from Pow Wow
Did he? Did he stop shopping with you?
Well, I mean even then he wasn't getting them from me. Johnny was still kind of making them
But you know, he was getting them from the other people or whatever
How's he doing?
I definitely would make him a grip. Flip on a grip. I got you bro. I got you.
That's to speak?
Yeah for sure. Matter of fact one of the songs on the album Swang Down with Zero
We recorded that song on Zero's birthday of this year.
His birthday is like January 20, January 21st,
I think it's the 21st.
And we recorded it at Zero's house.
Zero said, say man, my birthday come to the house,
we drank and ate and came through.
I said, came through?
And you know, I had the song, he's like,
hey, listen, I got this song.
And Lil Flip actually was his engineer.
They recorded it.
I see Flip all the time for sure, man.
Flip, we boy, he's still my big bro
Of course he came, we the same age, but he came out before me, you know
He definitely put on for Houston a lot, you know what I'm saying?
But you know, even still when I see him I'm like damn, I hope he ain't holding over my head
But if he do I mean I can't blame him because I get it, you know what I'm saying?
But you know, it's that's definitely my boy, man, you know, it ain't no hard feelings on my side
Of course if he want a grill, I got you flipped.
What's up, man?
But yeah, it's definitely made it a little weird.
You know what I'm saying?
All right, well, we appreciate you, Paul Wall.
The album is out right now.
Once Upon a Grind, it's Paul Wall.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The news is real, whether it's the Cullarians,

Jets don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Okay, in some football news Michael Vick
F1 and former NFL quarterback. He told the Virginia Pilar and the Daily Press that he interviewed
With for the head coaching position at Norfolk State. That's dope. I think that is though. That's right man. You're a
Hampton. Oh, yeah. Yeah, about maybe 10 15 minutes away from Hampton, but that's dope because Michael Vick is from that area, right? Right, right. So that's your alma mater. That's what they call it, right?
That's not mine, but no Hampton. area. Right, right, right. So that's your alma mater. That's what they call it, right? The alma mater. Yeah, yeah.
That's not mine, but.
No, Hampton.
But that's all in the same area.
It's all in the same Hampton Road 757,
which is dope because he's from that area.
That area raised him.
He loves that area.
Yeah.
So the fact that he will be head coach,
and you could tell it's not for a check, no disrespect,
but HBCU experience.
You don't have one.
Can't pay Michael Vick for that.
But.
Yes, and the crazy thing is for love you
take after Dion you'd see more of that yeah and and I know it was the big thing
because we know that Dion he was at Jackson State right and then he he got
everybody like excited about it he like started shedding light on he would bring
celebrities and everything and I remember like it just being a big big
big talk about it right yep yep and then he left and like it just being a big big big talk about
it right? Yep yep yep and then he left and then he went to a PWI he went to what? Colorado
Colorado and um and so now the fact oh Ed Reed also did that too at Bethune. Bethune
College yep yep yep and then now Michael Vick he actually he's not officially there yet
but he did have a meeting with them he did an interview and he hopes to hear something
from the school saying,
there would be a fool not to take Michael Vick in Virginia.
And the amount of people they would have to get a bigger place to play because
the amount of people that vehicle bring in celebrities from that area,
you're talking Missy, you're talking Timberland, you're talking for,
you're talking Pusha T, you're talking the clips, you're talking family,
you're talking the whole Virginia.
You're talking me like
Okay, Chris Chris Brown
You know not close in that area but to that area too, so it would be dope it would be amazing I think that is though. Okay. All right moving on to more football Travis Hunter
His fiance has been the biggest opp for the Internet
University of Colorado his Travis hunters his fiance, Leanna Lanay.
There's been a bunch of moments online where she comes off as mad or like she don't want
to be there, like she's just not happy for this dude at all.
Some of the moments have been Travis' last home game.
There was a video of him hugging on her, trying to kiss her, and she giving like, no, get
off me, stop, I'm not happy. Like, you know, that's what she's given. That's
what I read in her face. And then the 2024 Heisman Trophy ceremony where it appears she
didn't even want to stand up. That's when Dion Sanders like had to like urge her like,
get up girl. What did you do? I mean, he didn't say that, but that's what I read in his face.
And then the fan moment, Travis and Liana, they were at a meet and greet at the Adidas
pop up in New York and he was taking pictures with fans.
It was people that was coming up to him like kids taking pictures and stuff.
And she was sitting there, you know, just like on her phone arms folded, not folded,
whatever.
And she just looking in the internet.
They said that she was like, what I'm supposed to just sit here while you take pictures I didn't see her mouth that but I seen a
lot of back-to-back comment saying that she did say that Leanna addressed all of
the hate she defended herself or whatever and this is what she said Girl
That wasn't the right one Oh play her yo
Anyone who knows me knows I support Travis and everyone
Everything he does because I truly truly love that man he is perfect in my eyes when his name was called I instantly was gonna if
you watch the video you can see me like but his mom didn't get up so I was like
oh maybe I don't get up maybe I just stay here with her so I sat there and
then and then y'all said Coach Prime had to tell me to get up no he didn't he
said go get him go get your man like and once Travis stood up
But he didn't have to do that because I was gonna do that
Anyways soon as I seen Travis get up then I thought it was appropriate to stand up
Greet him congratulate him
But then there was a camera right in front of coach prime and I knew they were gonna film that moment and because of how?
People are online. I was like, I don't wanna be in that shot,
so I'm gonna sit down.
No, that was her addressing the Heisman moment, obviously,
right, and then she also addressed the fan moment
when I said that she was just sitting there,
like, what I'm supposed to sit here
and while you taking pictures, that's what she said.
What's a drink, he doesn't drink.
And I'm Hispanic, so I have tequila in my veins.
No, this is not it, that's not it.
Okay, all right, Well, okay. All right
When the show will be so good if it happened great to do so, okay, stop it. Okay, let's stop
No, Travis also defended his fiance. He he had a lot to say
You ain't never get got no girl. So are you talking about me?
First of all, let's talk about talk about my girl go talk about your girl go find a girl go find a life
So what about my what I got going on? I know what I got. I know my girl go talk about your girl go find a girl go find a life So what about my what I got going on? I know what I got
I know my girl my girl been with me for five years y'all are just not starting to talk about me and just not starting to
Be with me clickbait pages y'all better stop. I'm telling y'all. Yeah, it's something bad. What happened. Y'all keep doing that
Y'all better stop that. Yeah, when we were sitting down I was at my puppet shop. We're talking about my family
What was they gonna do while I was in there signing stuff? I had all my family there
I say she don't sit there so she get, so they can get stuff, have fun there.
Y'all hate on me and then y'all go and hate on my girl.
Like we're unsub, bro.
We with each other.
Like she hurting, of course I'm gonna be hurting.
If I'm hurting, of course she gonna be hurting.
Come on, bro.
That y'all hurt, bro.
To me, Baby Girl just need training, media training.
I mean, they could be going through something,
it could be something going on we don't know. I mean, I know for going through something, it could be something going on, we don't know.
I mean, I know for the internet is given, get the hell away from her Travis, she's not
happy for you.
You know, we like to tell people how they should feel about their relationship.
But honestly, it could have been a bad day.
It could just be baby girl is just, you know, not good in the media.
You know, it could be overwhelming, right?
Yeah, it could be what she said.
It could be, you know, they were looking for the moment of prime to hug Travis and she didn't want to be in that shot
She didn't want to be overzealous cuz they would be like hey you're all in this shot
So maybe she wanted to fall back so you got you got a you know
Sometimes you got to take things with a grain of salt and you got to understand it could be so many different things
Then I heard her explain that she was in their D to store
They were in there for a while and she asked him hey
Do you want me to go back with the family or this that any other other. We don't know what they were actually saying but if he's cool
with it why the hell y'all care? That's his girl. That's his fiance.
Now you're talking. Now you're talking. Cause I just think it's ridiculous for grown people
to care so much about what those twenty-somethings are doing and they come into whole conclusions
about the totality of their relationship based off clips. Man y'all so miserable online.
And listen it's not a coincidence
that all of this is coming,
the weekend Travis Hunter won the Heisman Trophy.
The criticism, the hate, it comes with the success.
And guess what?
It's gonna keep coming, Travis,
because you're not about to be unsuccessful.
So you just gotta learn to block that noise out,
because that's all it is, is noise.
That's right.
All right, that's Chess with the Mess.
All right, thank you, Chess.
Shalaman, who you giving that donkey to?
Man, four after the hour, man. We need a person named Markham David Bond Yeah. What? That's Chess with the Mess. Alright, thank you Chess. Shalaman, who you giving that donkey to?
Man, four after the hour, man.
We need a person named Markham David Bond to come to the front of the congregation.
They say if you keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results,
that's insanity, right?
This nigga's insane.
Alright.
We'll discuss.
We'll get to that next.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold.
Is it a real?
He gave me donkey of the day and I deserve it.
You need to know.
You need to tell them.
I am.
You have the voice.
Tell them.
Tell them.
It's time for donkey of the day.
It's a read, but you're so good at it.
You're trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne.
You're the only one Charlemagne is on.
Damn Charlemagne, who you give a donkey of the day to now? Well, sexy red, hold on, let me drink some water.
Donkey today for Tuesday December 17th goes to Markham David Bond.
I need to tell you a story about Markham.
He was found guilty by a federal jury in LA on one count of interference with commerce
by robbery, one count of using a firearm during a crime of violence and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Now he's not a young man, he's 61 years old.
Okay and 61 is way too old to be catching all those charges.
This man at the tender age of 60 robbed an armored truck or attempted to rob an armored
truck the brakes joints too.
Ran up on one at gunpoint in the Chase Bank parking lot on August 18th, 2023. So he's going under the prison. Okay. Probably
going down in there. He approached the driver, pointed the gun at him and demanded the driver
put the money in the bag. Of course the driver gave it up. Why wouldn't he? He gave him the duffel bag
full of cash. Markham grabbed the bag, fled the area. Made off with $145,000 in cash. Now that's
a lick. Okay. Now this is where it starts to get really,000 in cash. Now that's a lick, okay?
Now this is where it starts to get really, really great
though, investigators said they recovered cash.
They recovered the cash, the 145,000 from the robbery
hidden inside a mini fridge at his house.
Okay, they found the 40 caliber pistol containing
10 rounds of ammo and the shirt he was wearing
when he committed the felony, okay?
Oh, by the way, the empty brings back
It was found inside the getaway vehicle. This is what happens when you still robbing banks at 61 years old
Okay. See, let me tell you something about this aging thing. I was born in
1978 I'm 46 years old. I'm at the age where I don't want to do nothing extra
Okay, that's why before I go to bed
I get my water so I have it on the nightstand because there's no walk into the kitchen
In the middle of the night. That's too much energy. Okay. I got the energy for that
I got my tissue by the bed in case I got to blow my nose get something out my nose
They know walk into the bathroom for that and you only get up and go to the bathroom when it's a real emergency
I'm saying all that to say he's 61. Okay, 61 is too old to be trying to hide evidence. That ain't happening
But let me get back to the story I know you may be thinking Markham is getting donkey today because he robbed a bank
at 61 years old. No, that's just part of it. Let's go to CBS News LA for the report going down. You see the guards there, the armored guard in the back. That's a suspect up there on the left. He allegedly pointed a gun at the armored car driver there
and said, give me all the money.
He ultimately took over $100,000 worth of cash
from this armored bank.
Now, because of the help of the LAPD
and the security cameras from the bank,
they were able to get a picture of him and the car
and ultimately take this man into custody.
He is now facing those federal charges
of robbing the courier here as well as bank robbery because of the robbery happened
at a bank. Now here's the kicker in all this. I told you this had a twist. This
guy has done this before. He was actually in prison in the 80s and 90s,
sentenced to 46 years in prison for a same exact crime. He requested a
compassionate release 20 years early from when he was supposed
to get out. The judge said he was at low risk of reoffending. But here we are, he's back in
custody for the exact same thing now. That man did 26 years in prison already. He was released
on compassionate release in 2022 following a conviction for bank robbery and other firearms
offenses in the mid 90s.
Now I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but if he did 26 years and he's
61 and he came home in 2022, that means he was around 59.
So he went to prison when he was 33.
You went to prison when you were 33 for bank robbery and other firearms offenses, did 26
years, got released for compassionate release and last week got sentenced for bank robbery and other firearms offenses again?
This proves jail is not a correctional facility.
Okay, nobody can assist you in growing, evolving, changing, pivoting, whatever you want to call
it, if it ain't in you.
Okay, if it ain't in you, it ain't in you.
What Islam not in the prison no more?
You get a second chance at life and you come home doing the same thing? in you. What Islam not in the prison no planet or he misses his boyfriend. He got a boyfriend. Come on now. You got a boo. Come on now. You know envy though.
You not gonna make me believe that a man did 26 years not 26 months
26 years and you come home doing the same exact thing that got you there. Nah, bruh.
You miss getting your prostate tickled by little snake. Okay. You miss getting that rusty anchor from your celly name sidewinder. Let me tell you something when you are blessed to receive another
opportunity at life you gotta make the most of it. Okay? When God gives you a
second chance it's not something to take for granted. The reason they call it a
compassionate release is because giving someone a second chance is an act of
kindness and understanding and everybody everybody, I mean everybody, every single person,
everyone on this planet deserves a second chance,
but not for the same mistake.
Please let Remy Ma give Mark and Bond the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
You stupid mother-fucker, are you dumb?
He probably thought compassionate release
was something else.
Well, you miss Diddy. You miss them parties. Don't you? You miss that.
You miss the Diddy holiday party. Don't you?
You never DJed one of them, right? Yes, he did. I've never been.
He was working on his own drink. He doesn't have a brown dot.
So rock. No, you know what that brown dot stood for?
There's only one person up here that's been to a Diddy party.
And that is party and that is
Unless his name used to be Lucas All right, well, thank you for that donkey today
Now when we come back, let's open up the phone lines 800-585-1051
What is your definition of a friend? Now this comes from the conversation
earlier when Jess reported about Jay-Z and Diddy and yesterday they came out and said
that they are not friends, allegedly. So we're asking 800-585-1051, what is your definition
of a friend? People assume that they were friends, they seen the this is my bro and
we toast and this that and the other yaddaada yada let's discuss it's the Breakfast Club good
morning the Breakfast Club
morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the Guy, we are the Breakfast Club.
If you're just joining us, this story comes from Jess with the Mess, breaking down Jay-Z's
press conference yesterday where his attorney said that Jay and Puff are not friends, they
were business associates.
So we wanted to ask, 800-585-1051. What is the definition of being a friend?
I think people assume they were friends. Just because you've seen the pictures, they've
been in, they work with each other so many times. You've seen the toast and then my brother
this, my brother that. So I think people assume that they were friends. So let's ask what
is the definition of a friend? Let's start with you, Jess.
To me, you know, my definition by experience is just somebody
that you can confide in, somebody that knows you. You can't really call them a friend unless
they know your family. We argue but then we get right back to who we are. I trust you.
I can tell you, I don't tell nobody anything, everything, but it's just the word friend
gets thrown around, especially in the industry
a lot.
And that's I've said this before up here, you know, and maybe people were upset behind
it.
But it is what it is.
If I don't know, it's the difference between being an associate and a close associate.
So y'all, this is Questlove.
And I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the story pirates
and John Glickman called Historical Records.
It's a family friendly podcast.

Hey y'all, Nimini here.
I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.
Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop.
Each episode is about a different inspiring figure
from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin,
a 15 year old girl in Alabama who refused to give up
her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks
did the same thing.
Check it.
And it began with me.
Did you know, did you know, I wouldn't give up my seat?
Nine months before Rosa, he was Claudette Goldman.
Get the kids in your life excited about history
by tuning in to Historical Records.

Good people, what's up?
It's Quest-O, Quest-Love.
And Team Supreme and I have been working hard
to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove Supreme,
with gifts you definitely don't want to miss.
Now, one of the things I love about this Questlove Supreme podcast
is we got something for everybody, every type of musical ever.
We enjoy speaking to the people who are the face of some movements,
some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers,
but we also love speaking to the folks who were making it happen behind the scenes and they
paved the way for those that followed, you know, keystones to the culture.
This season, we've had some amazing one-on-one conversations, like on PayPal chatting up
with hit maker Sam Holland, shook Steve Chad with the legend Nick Lowe, and I've had pleasure doing one-on-one conversations with Willow, Sonata Matreya, Kathleen Hanna, and The RZA.
These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else, so make sure you go back and you check
those episodes out, alright?

And then an actual friend, you know what I'm saying? If Diddy wasn't hanging out at Jay-Z house,
he wasn't around kids and all that type,
can't say he a friend, you know what I'm saying?
If they ain't kicking outside of business,
that don't mean they friends, you know what I'm saying?
They weren't friends.
Sheldon?
Oh, what's a friend?
That's an interesting question.
I mean, I think a friend, I think being a friend is a verb.
You know, it's an action.
Not sure if it's something you can explain, but if I did try to explain it, I would say
a friend is someone you can, you know, travel down the road and back again with.
Their heart is true.
They're a pal and a confidant.
If they threw a party and invited everybody, they would see the biggest gift would be for me.
And the card attached would say,
thank you for being a friend.
That's what I would say.
This guy's a golden girl.
He's a golden girl.
I just made all that up.
I'm a golden girl.
Are you crazy?
I just freestyled.
Oh my goodness.
I was off the top of the head.
Nah, dang it.
I think a friend is somebody that you can trust.
And you don't need to be able to call them every day
They don't need to necessarily be at your house every weekend
But somebody when they need you they're in your corner or you are in their corner. That's what I think
That's why you stop having sex people who not your friends and I really truly mean that because I don't think the job really be
Thinking about what sex is so you letting somebody get inside of you letting you letting somebody sweat in you, you might potentially have a baby from this person, you putting your body on top of this
person's body, that person better be a friend, because if you're doing all of that with somebody
you don't trust, that's crazy.
So is this related to the topic, the sex and the friends?
I don't know, Charlamagne just threw everything in sex.
I know damn well they ain't say nothing about them two niggas having sex.
No, but I like all of y'all definitions is what I'm saying.
All of y'all definitions are friends.
So I'm just saying you should only do, if you're going to give up your body to somebody,
it should be to a friend.
What about you, boy?
Oh, okay.
Huh?
Hello, who's this?
Hey, it's Renee from Newark, Brick City.
Renee from Brick City.
Newark, what's happening in Brick City?
What's up, Newark?
Let's talk about friends.
Yeah, Charlamagne, I miss you at the opening of your Hashtoria. What's happening Brick City? What's up? No, let's talk about friend
Well pull up we doing the first annual hash story of Christmas toy drive So you can go there and drop off of your unwrapped toys a hash story at 799 Broad Street in Newark. I'll be there for that
Okay. Okay. See you then. Yeah. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, baby
We're great black and highly Good morning DJ Evie, good morning guys, what's up man? Good morning baby. Now we talking friends.
How you guys doing this morning?
We're great.
West black and holly feeling.
Yeah, so, yeah, yep.
So my definition of friend is someone who's loyal, they're not looking, you know, I'm
not looking.
Even more so in this odd as they may seem, when we fall out, that's not your opportunity
to, you know, backstab me and to share my most inner thoughts and secrets.
Something that I'll share with you, you know, in confidence as a comp con.
So, although things may not always work out with best friends or friends, even if they're not, that's still a part of the contract.
I think we lost her.
Yeah, I'm sorry Renee.
She right though.
Yep.
She right.
I mean I think at the end of the day
what everybody's just saying
that being a friend is a verb.
It's an action.
Yeah, but I think a lot of people
take that friend word very loosely, right?
Yeah.
Because you know, if you always see it all the time.
My friend, as soon as we're not friends anymore,
what's the first thing they do?
A lot of people-
Start kicking your back in.
Go online, kick your back in, tell your secrets.
Never liked how you dressed. They never your friend mm-hmm just fell
out with somebody who I thought was not good morning we're talking about friends
now you got a what's your definition of a friend?
Someone that considers what you have going on checks in on you
But to me all relationships are two-way streets And if your friend isn't at least matching the energy or effort that you put in then that's when it's time to look it over
That's real man. Thank you Whitney
time to look it over. Okay that's real man. Thank you Whitney. 800-585-1051 we're asking what's the definition of a friend? What is your definition of a friend? Let's discuss this at the Breakfast Club.

All right, so Nelly's annual ball, OK, so he had his annual black and white ball on Sunday
in St. Louis where I will be this week and get your tickets.

He didn't do the ball last year, he bought it back this year and he bought it back to
do a fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and scholarships for Harris Stow State University. So that's
what's up. You'll drop a clues bomb for the good brother Nellie.
And at the ball, Nellie and the St. Lunatics were giving the key to the city. We got audio
for that.
You've had an amazing year and an amazing career. And when I say there are times when I ran
for mayor I said I want to put St. Louis back on the map but I think we can all
agree in this room that Nellie has put St. Louis on the map and because of that we want to give him
his flowers here so it is my honor to present you with a key to the city.
So it is my honor to present you with a key to the city.
We want to just thank you for all that you do for our community. I ain't nothing but the St. Lunatics, Jesse. You said Nellie and the St. Lunatics got a key to the city.
Because they did. It's just they just got the Nellie part of them.
I didn't hear it either, but Nellie and the st. Lunatics were giving the key to the city. Yo, okay. Yep. Yep
Ashton, I mean Ashton my son Jesus Christ. Okay, you're talking about you're right guys
Shanti and Nelly they also had a cute moment where they perform the song baby, baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby baby we made a baby baby baby baby you know and remember back in November
it was rumors about them having a second child or whatever and in the interview we also had them
like hinting at another baby and they laughed and Nelly pretty much pleaded the fifth after he asked
them about it like but people don't understand when you do stuff like plead the fifth or you be like
like you make a dumb sound before just
saying no or I don't want to talk about that or whatever you're you're making it
more suspect like yeah we know can ask a question what that why that couldn't
just been about the baby they just made too much with a baby baby baby or the
other baby I just made it because he was rubbing our stomach we made a baby baby
baby they just had one I don't think the baby's too much old is it I don't know I
think so. Okay.
Three?
But either way, you're extremely fertile after you have a baby baby baby so it can be another
baby baby baby in there.
Why you keep saying baby baby baby?
Because that's what they did.
That's what they did.
I know it.
Now we know you're not pregnant again right now.
That's true.
I don't know.
You are married.
You don't know.
And now we got these prenatal laws in New York.
I don't know.
Anyway, anyway, and also look when Fat Joe was up here the low had asked him about it and this is what he said
They were saying that Shanti's having another baby. Is that happening?
So but I wouldn't put it past it that's the problem I think I got
I got
There was saying that Shanti's having another baby is that happening You was sitting there. I remember that. You was sitting there. Y'all put some sauce on that one. I remember that either. Y'all put some sauce on that one.
No we didn't.
I don't remember that.
Y'all didn't even pause that.
I was like, nobody say pause,
and nobody follow up.
What was that?
Yeah.
But he said he may have a big mouth.
He said they lied, they may have lied to him.
They may have told him like,
no, ain't no baby, just for the sake of his mouth being big
and he might come up here and say something more.
He might say something anyway before they say something.
That's true.
You know?
It is what it is.
All right, moving on.
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Arevo.
So Ariana recently spoke to Jessica Shaw for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.
And during the conversation, Ariana spoke on her relationship with co-star Cynthia Arevo.
We talk a lot about this pact that we made to take care of each other and to be really
honest with each other about anything
that were to come up. But I don't think people really get how granular we got and how fully
we mean that. We sat there and when I got my contract, I called her and I was like,
hey, let's go through this thing. Let's go beat per beat through this together and make
sure that we're aligned in what we need because if you need something
We need it together. I want us to have each other's backs like your problems become my problems and mine become yours
I love that. I love it. That's exactly why I picked this story to do like yo
It actually speaks to the fact that um, you know
It's been always been a thing that women automatically just get less than men, but then black women get even less than
that, you know what I mean? So I love that she took the time out to say that.
And then there had been rumors of a huge pay gap anyway between Cynthia and
Ariana. And you know where those rumors came from? The goddamn internet. That's why I'm so glad that they dispelled the internet and always making the internet look stupid because they don't know what they're talking about.
They say Grande got 15 million and she got
1 million I think it was. Yep, that's what it said and then a
spokesperson for the production company did say it was because of the internet
and it said that reports of pay disparity between Cynthia and Ariana are
completely false and based on internet fodder. You know that was a white person, fodder.
And I bet you the internet don't even believe it now. They're like, that's not true. Y'all didn't get paid the same like y'all know. I'm glad they did and I bet you didn't even believe it now they like
Y'all get paid the same like y'all know
I'm glad they were able to come together and figure that stuff out. That's dope. Yo, but check this out
Yo, the movie did so good. It already made 520 million globally on a budget of 150 million
They already made the money back and all that already, you know, and um heading into the holiday season
That's kind of hard to do because this this is actually eighth uh what is it it's the eighth highest grossing film of 2024 and and this makes the uh and it's also the highest grossing odds related film and around the
holidays it's kind of hard to do that because people want to be home watching like Home Alone
and Christmas movies and stuff like that you know that's what i said i was like it's difficult for
people to go out like you know just what i'm saying? I was like, it's difficult for people to go out. Like, you know, just what I'm saying,
like Clarissa Shales movie comes out on December 25th
on Christmas day, it's gonna be difficult
cause it's like, do people go out?
Like Charlamagne says he's taking his daughters,
but I'm not leaving my house Christmas.
I'm not leaving my house on Christmas either.
So that's kind of hard,
but I'm happy that they actually pulled that off.
And shout out to Ariana for even just doing that,
being there for her.
But the interviews, they're like, they're like so in sync. I think they're shirming. You know?
I think they're on shirms. Because they're always just so in touch with their emotions,
you know? And like they speak to each other mentally some type of way, you know? And they
take care of each other. And like Cynthia, without even asking Ariana, can always tell
when something's wrong and then vice versa, like it's crazy.
I've been on that type of Bluetooth situation
with my sister and my boyfriend when I'm streaming with them.
It's like you speak to them telepathically some type of way.
So you're saying it's a synergy between, what's her name?
Cynthia Arrivo and Ariana Grande.
Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.
Watch every interview, they be crying,
they be just snotting and all that,
they be wiping each other's tears and looking at each other's eyes
Oh, yeah, like they finna take each other down
