Did you understand everything? Yeah, I told you I used to work in a mirror sports at My school so I'd be knowing what's going on. Okay. All right a little bit. What do you think about the Super Bowl? What do you think about the halftime performance? I thought that had time performance was good I think that there's a lot. I think we're going to be decoding it for the next couple weeks for sure. I'm interested to see if my interpretation was you guys' interpretation of the message

that Kendrick sent. The double entendre in my opinion. I'm sure we'll talk about it more during the show. I was a dance dad this weekend. Salute to all the dance dads. I don't know why they would have competition during Super Bowl weekend, but they did. But congratulations to my daughter. One I think won in the trio duo, where there's a bunch of them. They won first. Her solo, she came in second. And the other daughter

came in fourth. And this is about out of 800 kids, so drop a bomb for them. I'm super duper proud of them. And y'all had to navigate through the snow. Had to navigate through the snow, yes. Because I was out Saturday and then I did a fashion show and then driving home I was on like 20 miles per hour. It was crazy this weekend and then we watched the Super Bowl together as a family. We all came, they were all in my bedroom. We watched the football game. We watched the halftime

performance and it was a great game and we'll talk about the performance. Man, congratulations to Kendrick and TDE. I think they did a phenomenal job of what they were supposed to do. Congratulations to the Eagles! Them too. I was going to get to that. Congratulations to the Eagles and all the Eagle fans you guys deserve it you put ass well belt to ass last night you did your thing I mean I've never seen a beating like that in a long time. The Chiefs took forever they didn't score until when like the third? Third or fourth quarter. See I told y'all I knew what was happening. It was a nasty game but congratulations to the Eagles fans and I got a shout out to my son Logan. Oh he was outside? Logan went to New Orleans right and he was like yo dad can you set me up

It's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne the it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Jessi Larius, Charlamagne the Guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jessi. Let's get in some front page news. Of course, this weekend Super Bowl Eagles washed the Chiefs 40 to 22. Drop a bomb for the Philadelphia Eagles and also drop a bomb for Saquon Barkley. He

broke the NFL single-season Russian record with 2500 yards so congratulations to him Ex-New York giant just wanna say that good morning boy What you trying to say is y'all fumbled that is No, no, we hope that you know, that's what I'm saying. We help the Eagles they need a little help So we helped him. All right. Good morning in D and I'm like cool all in there it's a little light hey hey uh Lauren how y'all doing? Hey good morning. All right let's get into it uh so Jalen Hertz he's taking home Super Bowl uh 59 MVP honors the Eagles quarterback completed 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards two touchdowns and one interception he added 72 rushing yards and one score on 11

carries now again like you mentioned NV the Eagles blew out the Chiefs 40 to 22 to bring the Lombardi Trophy back to the city of brother they love. It's the second ever title for the team who took down the Patriots back in Super Bowl 52. Now meanwhile, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, he passed for 257 yards, three touchdowns and committed three turnovers. Philly rookie corner Cooper Dijon, he picked off my homes and returned it for a touchdown for his first ever career interception

or his first career interception while the defense combined for six total sacks without blintzing once. Now the 24 to zip half-time lead was the largest, second largest in Super Bowl history and the 34 to zip advantage is the third quarter. In the third quarter was the biggest since Super Bowl 48 back in 2014. Now of course the Eagles succeeded in getting their revenge against the Chiefs after they fell to Kansas City three points two years ago in Super Bowl 57. Head coach Nick Sirianni spoke more about Jaylen Hurts today compared to who he was as a quarterback two years ago in that game. Let's hear more from Nick Sirianni.

He just keeps getting better. He knows how to win. He does a great job of being able to block out all the outside noise. I think it's, you know, I find it funny when it's like, you know, well, Jaylen is good because he's got a good team around him. Like that's football. Like again, you cannot be great without the greatness of others. So Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, he said it's hard to put the win into words and running back

Saquon Barkley, he said the feeling is surreal. Let's hear more from them and how they feel about this game. Still processing it, you know, it's been a long journey. It's been a journey of ups and downs and highs and lows. And I've always stayed true to it in the end. And having this vision of just being the best that I can be. That's what it's all about. You dream about these moments as a little kid. And it's just amazing to have your family and friends,

and especially your family, dealing with me through it all, the ups and the downs. And here we are, world champs. Mm-hmm. And Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, he also checked in post game and said most of the blame is on him. Let's take a listen to his comments. Credit to the Eagles now. They play better than us from start to finish. We didn't start how we wanted to. Obviously the turnovers hurt. And I mean, I just kind of I take all the blame for that.

I mean, just those early turnovers swing the momentum of the game I mean they scored on the one and then they got a touchdown immediately after so that's 14 points That I kind of gave them and it's hard to come back from that and in the Super Bowl and so Just didn't play to my standard and I have to be better next time Yeah, you also got a credit to Eagles defense. Eagles defense was amazing last night. They weren't allowing nothing. They weren't giving him time in the pocket. They weren't able to run last night.

I mean, the Eagles defense was like no other last night. They played. They came to play. Yes, they did. Yes, they did. And in case you missed it, a man that was dressed in all black that stormed the field during the halftime show, waving a Palestinian and Sudanese flags with the words Gaza and Sudan written on the flags. That was not planned. So the NFL released a statement. They said

we commend security for quickly detaining the individual who displayed the flag. He was a part of the 400 member cast, but the individual hid the item in his possession and unveiled it late in the show. No one involved was with the production was aware of the individual's intent. So yeah, and then a spokesperson for rock nation also said the act by the individual was neither planned nor part of the production and was never in any rehearsal. So things like that. I wonder why they even discuss it or even talk about it because we didn't see it at home. I didn't see it at all. You didn't see it at home, but it was everywhere online.

After, after it was. Yeah, it was. It was way around social media, but I figured that was going to be the case anyways in regards to Kendrick's halftime show because he's very strategic. He has a lot of, oh my gosh, I like some blinking, he's very strategic. He has a lot of things that he put underlined, so I thought that maybe that was part of it but no that one that particular element Was not part of the show. Okay. All right. Well that is front page news. Thank you Morgan. Thank you All right, talk to y'all at 7. All right, everybody else get it off your chest

Okay, Queens, what's up, man? Get it off your chest. Man, KJGramar, trash. Super Bowl performance, trash. You didn't like it at all what didn't you like break it down what I just felt like every song was very mid except the last two the one he did with Cesar was straight but he should just play smooth after this cuz it was trash cut the jokes yeah I thought it was a slow start but I won't say this well you

say you didn't like the songs or you didn't know the songs or what's the reason why you said that? I knew some of them but I just, I mean I know everybody like Kendrick now but I just don't feel like he got the catalog to get people to be moving the way they need to be moving. Okay. So you felt like it just wasn't upbeat, you wanted to dance a little bit more? Yeah, Ronnie my house was basically sleeping man, like waking up until he did not like us then a lot of them but it was too much and too much, it was trash. Okay, thank you Jay. Alright. Like, wake it up. Until he did not like us, didn't like them. But, um, it was too much into it, but it was trash.

Okay. Thank you, Jay. All right. Hello, who's this? Kenny. Hey Kenny, good morning. Good morning, good morning, Perfect Club. Good morning, guys. Get it off your chest, Kenny.

You know, I just wanna say, man, the Eagles won, man. Eagles won. Come on, come on, Charlemagne, come on. Charlemagne ain't in yet, but go ahead. Spell the Eagles, spell the Eagles out, go ahead. E-L-E-S-G-E-A, Eagles! That sounds about right.

Thank you, sir. Hey. Hey. Hey. Love you guys, man. Love you guys. You know what it is. Have a good one, brother.

All right, just give that to me. Hello, who's this? Yeah, this is Spike. What's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Yeah, my opinion on the Super Bowl, I think it could have been better. It was an OK performance.

I just don't think it's Super Bowl. And it was a big stage. I think Young Money would have did better. They would have had a little pain out there. And you know, it was all he did for the league. And he could have brung out all the original people from Cash Money or the band. I don't know, I'm legendary but I get what they was going with Kendrick but I just feel

like he should have performed his old songs and stuff like that and performed too much of his old catalog. Yeah, he definitely performed a lot of his new catalog. There was a lot of songs I would have loved to hear but I would love to hear why he went the way that he went. I didn't think it was one of the best performances I've ever seen Kendrick perform, but I thought it was cool. I still gotta give him a lot of props for getting out there and doing it and making

sure it was good. He's not a dancer, so I don't know if people expected him to dance and flip and moonwalk. He's a rapper. He's not that type of person, so I didn't expect that at all. And I also would love to tell people When you see them country singers singing and they up there with a guitar We don't know none of their music but you know their chorus still loves and supports them is just different But you know, I just you know, I just wonder we'll take some more calls. Thank you for calling brother

I'm like I'm with the drugs back for I expected what I got from Kendrick. Really? Yeah I mean Kendrick is very like he has he's gonna come with a message from Kendrick. Really? Yeah, I mean Kendrick is very like he has he's gonna come with a message It's gonna be very choreographed and you got to dig into it You're gonna be decoding it for weeks to come like that's what I expected from him I just I guess I expect him to do other songs that I think were a lot bigger Like if I rules and Crips all got a lot like that song. I thought was big swimming pools What's the other one? Don't kill my vibe? Yeah, good kid mad city. I just thought he would have did a lot of those records as well What's the other one? Don't Kill My Vibe, Good Kid, Mad City.

I just thought he would have did a lot of those records as well, but I'm sure there was a method to his madness. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hello, who's this?

Hey, Destiny. Hey, good morning, Destiny. Get it off your chest. Good morning. I want to get it off my chest about Kendrick Super Bowl halftime performance What you think was it was crazy from having Uncle Sam play? Samuel Jackson playing Uncle Sam the dancers portraying the flag, you know being built on the backs of blacks It was amazing amazing for hip-hop and for the culture and that's what I expected from Kendrick

So I don't know what people wanted him to do like why do y'all care about these people you do understand that Uh on social media if you get out of your bubble everything is 50-50 the people calling up here are real people Every call has hated the performance. Well, I can understand listen here's the thing. I thought aesthetically It was great. I thought it was good. I thought it was fantastic The only thing I would change was the setlist. Yeah, I didn't love the song Like I said earlier, I thought there was other songs I would have loved for him to do but I'm sure there was a method to his madness and I'm sure we'll find out I think the method was he just wasn't trying to be commercial. Hmm. That's what I think the whole I guess you want to call it underground. I guess I'm not underground Kendrick can be hello. Who's this?

Hey, this is Mark from Newark. This is Mark from Newark. Mark, what up what up man get off your chest Lauren I want Okay, it was trash it was trash I think so what did you like the crowd was into it until the uh, not like us came on. Yeah. Can I ask you a question? And maybe it maybe it's just me and I'm not making no excuses. I'm just what Super Bowl performance was the crowd into it? I don't never watch the Super Bowl performance and say, yo, the crowd ain't into it. You crazy, Solomon.

I'm asking. They up in the middle of the crowd. They up dancing and everything. Now they came at Rihanna too though, for the same thing. A-minor came on. Nah, Rihanna was pregnant, Rihanna didn't give, she was pregnant so I didn't expect a whole lot. Remember, she was kinda... But no, he's talking about the crowd. I don't remember, and I could be wrong. The crowd was crazy during Eminem.

Eminem? When did Eminem perform at his own world? Eminem, Dr. Dre, 56, Mary J. Blige. I don't remember what the crowd was doing though. The crowd was crazy. Eminem dr. Dre 56 I wasn't paying attention to crowd. I don't remember. I don't remember any crowd more You know the only crowd moment I can remember missable history Michael Jackson Michael Jackson Michael Jackson Performance that's the only time I can remember the crowd like losing their minds at the Super Bowl I normally judge it by just personally how I feel like what I I take away from it, but also where I'm at, like how people react. And where I was at yesterday, people was hyped.

They did get more hyped to Not Like Us, but I think people was just excited to see him finally on the stage because we've been talking about it for so long. My only thing, once again, if I was Kendrick, I would have changed the set list, and this goes back to what I said last week, whenever I said this, I wouldn't have performed Not Like Us. I would have just gave him the hook

and the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the Dan Dan Dan Dan Dan the hook because it made it too much about Drake I thought it was don't know it was all I thought he wasn't gonna perform it because of what he was seasoning I did feel like this was he gave Drake too much. It was a Super Bowl like less. It was great I thought it was dope the way he did it I love the tease and all that the little the little you know I don't know if I could do it cuz they be be suing y'all. I thought the whole thing was good. I thought that part was good. I would love to see a Kendrick Super Bowl performance without anything to do with Drake and how much different his focus would be. How different would him and his team approach it if they weren't trying to, you know, put

the nail in the coffin on Drake? Like how many people that were there and just how many people watch it, even if they heard about the Drake and Kendrick beef, they're not really in it like we are. So I was wondering how that translated to other people. But then I started seeing articles of people being like, we were a little confused because they don't, they know Kendrick by all the big songs. They don't always know. Like they don't not like us, but they don't know the back and forth.

Well get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got Jess with the mess coming up. What are we talking about? We do. We're going to get into the Super Bowl. We're going to break the game down, the big moments. Of course we're going to talk about Kendrick and halftime there's a lot to discuss

all right we'll get to that next it's the Breakfast Club good morning the Breakfast Club morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club wake up and want to go back to sleep when you hear scissors snooze okay I mean god dang something playing for three years now how long has it been about three three? Presidents return come another year. Oh my god. All right. Well, let's get the jest with the mess with Lauren La Rosa On the Breakfast Club.

She's a coach, you should. With Lauren, Lauren LaRosa. I'm back. And I got the Mets. Talk to me. All right, y'all, so the day that we've been waiting for. Super Bowl Sunday went down yesterday. The Eagles beat the Chiefs 40 to 22.

Why is today not a national holiday? We should have a day off today after Super Bowl. After Super Bowl? Every day. A lot of people, especially if you're from Philly, you took off work today. People were partying. Broad Street was packed. Broad Street was insane yesterday. So as the games, before the actual coverage of the game started, you saw Michael Strahan, a bunch of different people doing a walk down Bourbon Street in New Orleans, giving a tribute to, you know, the 14 families who had victims lost in that attack. They had the human jukebox Southern State performing.

They did some Boosie tributes. They did some hot boy tributes. That was good to see. Let us see performed the literary voice and sing. You had John Baptiste out there as well too. Then the game started and you know, people filing on in Trump was there. He's the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. He brought members of Congress with him. Speaker Mike Johnson, Lindsey Graham, Katie Britt, Tommy

Tuberville, Ivanka Trump, Laura Trump were there as well with him. Jay-Z and Blue Ivy were on the- Who would have had to pay for their tickets? I was thinking about that. Did Trump have to pay for their tickets? I'm sure not. There's no way. There's no way you, Trump, you gotta pay for tickets. You know what I'm trying to say? Of course, you no way you Trump. You got to pay for tickets. Of course, you know, Anne Hathaway was there in her Eagles green. I didn't know she was the Eagles fan, but she was there in her Eagles green. Kevin Hart. There was so many people there.

Of course, it was a huge night. But getting to the actual game, Jalen Hurts is now the fourth black quarterback to win a Super Bowl. Twitter was going crazy about that. He also took MVP home yesterday after the dominant win. Let's take a listen to him talk about after he was awarded the MVP trophy. I think we had a focus group out there.

Offensively was able to score points, to take advantage of opportunities, just enough to put points on the board and then defense played their ass off. They played how they played all year. And I truly believe offense wins game, but defense wins championships and how their defense has been able to play. It's a great testament to them.

It's been a long journey. It's been a journey of ups and downs and highs and lows. And I've always stayed true to it in the end and having this vision of just being the best that I can be. And that evolving over time into this desire and this flame inside to win. You don't do great things without the guys around you. The defense was stellar.

Okay, Patrick Mahomes stunk it up. All right. It leads me to believe that Kendrick Lamar is kryptonite to biracial men. I mean, Cole, Drake, Patrick Mahomes, they simply don't perform well when Kendrick is around. It was real bad yesterday. It was bad.

Yeah, I was watching it and I was like, I'm not even a big football person. I was like, Patrick Mahomes didn't need like a spa day. He couldn't do anything. They were on his ass the whole game. Throwing interceptions, it was bad. He couldn't even yell nigga out of frustration because Kendrick was on the bill.

You know that. Well, speaking of frustration, they showed Taylor Swift on the screen, literally, for like a second she was there Yo, they booed her so bad. The fans was not take She looked at ice like oh my god, she looked at ice like that's for you girl Oh my God. I know she did. She looked at Ice White like, that's for you girl.

That ain't for me. She was so shocked. She was looking like, oh boy. I'm like, oh, welcome to Philly. Welcome to Philly, Tete. That wasn't Philly? They said it was a lot of the Eagles fans. It was Philly fans.

A lot of Eagles fans was in the building. That ain't got nothing to do with city. That just people just don't like the Hill Swift. That's my story. You're so happy. You're so happy. I think a majority, they said a majority of Philly was in that building.

Yes, but then, you know, the halftime happened, right? So Kendrick Lamar finally gave us the moments that I think a lot of people were looking for. So he opened up his halftime performance and he had a big message. The black Uncle Sam, Samuel L. Jackson comes out and he's like, welcome to this is the game of life. So basically like what we watched Kendrick Lamar do was he set a kind of like a chess board and they performed in a game of life. So basically like what we watched Kendrick Lamar do was he set kind of like a chess board and they performed in a game of life

and he gave us different scenarios throughout the Super Bowl halftime show of what he thought the game of life was. Let's just talk about it. Look man, the whole point of the performance to me was to not play it safe. The whole point of the performance was to not be commercial on what is probably

the most commercial stage in America. And like you just said, Lauren, having Samuel L. Jackson, his Uncle Sam out there telling him you should play it safe and kindrically, purposely not doing that, that was dope to me. I thought that was dope too. I think the whole show was pretty cool,

wasn't amazing to me. I didn't love his set. I wish he would have did other songs, because he had bigger songs and songs that I think would have been connecting. I think when you look at If Pyro was in Crips, Or Rule the World, that song, or Swimming Pools or Don't Get My Vibe. There's a lot of songs in the tag.

I wouldn't think Don't Get My Vibe. Go ahead. I was gonna say, I think a lot of people are arguing about the setlist, but for me, I kinda expected Kendrick to come with a message. And when I saw Samuel L. Jackson open it in the conversation that I knew that they were about to have, I knew it was about to get like deep, deep Kendrick.

Where you got like sitting and listening. Oh, the message was great. Yes. Aesthetically, I gave it a 10, you know what I mean? But I agree with Envy. I thought his setlist could have been way better. He could have just picked bigger, high energy songs than the ones he did. For example, it was an unapologetically.

Ultra Black Performance, imagine if he would have opened up with Black at a Berry. He opened with like a freestyle that we had never heard before. Can you imagine if Black at a Berry was the first song on Kendrick's set as the Super Wolf and then he threw in joints like I, Mad Kid like you said, Money Trees, Backseat Freestyle mixed in with TV off and Humble and Squabble up? He would have killed it. And if he was going to do Not Like Us, which I still don't think he should have done because he just gave Drake too much light.

I think he had to. I don't think so. I think he had to. And he addressed it directly. I didn't think he was gonna do that. He actually said, I want to do y'all's song, everybody's favorite song, but you know they suit. I was like, oh wow.

I love that too. I feel like between that euphoria and Not Like Us, he gave Drake too much light. But if he was gonna do it, he should have did the last verse based off the theme of his show last night since it Was so ultra black so unapologetically black he should have did the last verse and I know he wanted to get to the a minor Part for the crowd reaction. Yeah, but to match the blackness of his performance. I would have just did the last verse I did not want even if he did both verses if he did the first verse and then that last Stage majority of the time anyway. He took something out to do that.

He gave him three. He talked a lot about life and you know, America's been on black people's backs, but people grabbed a lot of the Drake stuff. They were trying to say that his A-chain was for the A-minor, but I believe it's the A from the P.G. Lang graphic. They had flags with that on them. Yeah, but this is P.G.

Lang's, like this is their brand. This is their like logo. And because he had his label. Yeah, his label. I'm sorry. Because he had the A-chain on, people thought it was for And because he had his label, because he had the A chain on, people thought it was for A minor, but no. What the A got to do with PG Lang? I have no idea, but this is what's on their website.

Oh, okay. Yeah. I just did not want to hear Baka, Chubbs, and Pardee's name on stage at the Super Bowl. It's a diss record. That's probably one of his biggest records ever. He had to do it. He had to. No, he didn't. He had to. He didn't have to.

I think he did. That's his biggest record ever. It don't matter. Kendrick is bigger than records. He didn't have to I think he did that's his biggest record ever It don't matter Kendrick Kendrick is bigger than records He didn't have to do it and I think everybody was waiting for him to do that That's a big song and for people that don't know about the dissing and all that they just like the song and they be they not Like us, they don't know it's a diss record They just you know look at it as a competition like it saying he had to do it had a bait I've been having for the past couple weeks. He didn't have to do it. Absolutely positively. He's Kendrick Lamar. He's a Pulitzer Prize-winning artist

That's true. He had to do that. He didn't have to do it absolutely positively. He's Kendrick Lamar. He's a Pulitzer Prize-winning artist. That's true. He had to do that He didn't have to do he would have looked scary if he didn't but we got a wrap up No, he wouldn't know. We can come back and bring this back. As black as he was last night Please well, let's open up the phone lines. We can discuss that 800-585-105 When we come back, we got front page news, then we'll take your phone calls as well. Let's discuss Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl. What's your thoughts? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast

Club. Long LaRosa filling in for Jess. And let's get in some front page news. Again, congratulations to all the Eagle fans out there. The Eagles beat the Chiefs 40 to 22. Thank you God for taking the Chiefs out of their misery. I mean I don't know if I could stomach seeing Taylor Swift on the field after this game. I'm gonna be honest with you I ain't want to you know her and Travis Kelsey kissing you know I don't believe that whole he was going to propose thing. Oh my God I was about to say that they said he was supposed to propose. Yeah but nobody was he wasn't gonna do that.

First of all he would never upstage his teammates like that. That's a dumb internet fodder to think that Travis Kelsey, a football player, would get on his knees at the end of the Super Bowl and pose to Taylor Swift. That would be ridiculous. His team would be highly upset at him if he did that. Why take away from their moment for you and Taylor? That wasn't gonna happen. Congratulations to the Eagles and congratulations to Saquon Barkley. He broke the NFL single-season Russian record with 2,500 yards, actually 2504. So congratulations to him.

And congratulations. What's up Morgan? What's up is congratulations are in order for the city of brotherly love and Philadelphia Mayor Sherrell Parker. Well, she has a message for Philadelphia residents. Did she spell it right? As celebrations take place, let's hear more from Mayor Parker. Please Philadelphia.

I implore you as your mayor do not climb light poles or anything else. I know this comes up every time we have an outdoor celebration after our Philly teams win and I get it. But folks climbing or attempting to climb up a light pole or a bus shelter Or really any structure for that matter it can lead to tragedy The last time you see they put baby oil on all poles and lubricated the poles last time It was that much baby oil on poles. You know what that was Right. No need for me to spell that out. Mayor Parker she did make the comments ahead of Super Bowl 59. Of course, this comes after tragedy struck following Eagles NFC Championship

when 18 year old Tyler Sabapathy, a Temple University student, he died from injuries after climbing a pole in Center City. So you guys be careful out there as you celebrate. Please do it safely and responsibly because we want to be able to do it again next year, right? All right so switching gears to more political news, President Trump he is defending the efforts of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency in an interview with Fox News ahead of Super Bowl 59 which Trump was attending. The government, he said the government bodies like the US Agency for

International Development or USAID as you guys have seen are rife with waste, fraud and abuse. Now Trump touted his administration's effort to reshape USAID, saying a few good programs run by the agency should be turned over to new management. He's suggesting Marco Rubio who is over the State Department. Let's hear more from President Trump. Well, we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of money that's going to places suggesting Marco Rubio who is over the State Department. Let's hear more from President Trump. Well, we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of money that's going to places

where it shouldn't be going where if I read a list, you'd say this is ridiculous and you've read the same lists and there are many that you haven't even seen. It's crazy. I think I'd rather give it to Marco Rubio over at the State Department. Let him take care of the few good ones. And by few good ones, he's talking about the programs run by that agency. Trump also doubled down on his aspirations for Canada to become the 51st U.S. state. He also says he trusts Elon Musk as the head of DOGE and has been happy with his job so far. He plans to instruct Musk to go after the Department of Education and the military next

in terms of figuring out what's efficient and what's not. Let me tell you something, man. I was in Maryland over the weekend for my daughter's cheerleading competition. The amount of people, black and white, who came up to me telling me they may lose their jobs all because Elon Musk is controlling how the federal government pays them was scary.

And I mean, I know there's a lot of things going on and people like to focus on, you know, a little bit of everything, but Elon Musk being in control of how the federal government pays people and Elon Musk being responsible for whose jobs get cut and whose jobs doesn't. That right there is what's really impacting people.

Black, white, it don't matter. That right there is impacting everybody in a real way. Yeah, so with that, you know Elon Musk he does have his hands in a lot of pots So I will say that a federal judge has blocked Elon Musk and doge from accessing the payment system used at the Treasury Treasury Department Now a judge ruled on Saturday that only civil servants who need to use the system to do their job will have access to it And the ruling also requires that any data that has been downloaded, I know you guys

have been hearing stories about Doge and these young guys who are working for the agency using their own laptops and things like that. Well, any data that has been downloaded as a result of Doge infiltrating or doing what they're doing must now be blocked or destroyed. The order will remain in effect until at least Friday. This has been brought by 19 Democratic states attorneys seeking to figure out what's going on with this situation. I guess we're doing what we can.

People are doing what they can with what they can. I'm not sure. This is what people are saying as you can continue to say is we're unprecedented time. So I can't call it y'all. But I will say that a national security advisor, Mike Walsh, he is defending President Trump's attempts to reshape the USAID. He spoke to NBC's Meet the Press, saying the organization spends money in ways that don't support strategic US interests. And he claims it isn't very effective at one of its stated purposes, which is providing international humanitarian aid.

Let's hear more from National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz. We need to realign their mission and line it up with the president's foreign policy vision. I think that it's perfectly appropriate for USAID to be kind of tucked into the State Department and better align with their mission, rather than just spreading money around all too often, only cents on the dollar actually makes it

to people in need between the big contractors, the subcontractors, the local contractors. Yeah, well, now that's even worse because Trump has put the funding freeze in place and the agency is attempting to put thousands of its employees on unpaid administrative leave and What critics is saying and an effort to shut down that agency? So a federal judge of course block those employees from being placed on leave after a lawsuit was filed by multiple labor unions

So that speaks more to what you were saying Charlemagne about how people are going to be impacted in ways that are very Untraditional and you might not see it coming, you may, you may not. So it's okay. Yeah, and especially being that, you know, Donald Trump and Republicans ran off, ran on dinner table issues, right? And they were saying things like, you know, we know that you can't keep food on your table

and the groceries was what he kept targeting. But now you making it hard for people because people losing their jobs. Right, acts, acts. Well, let's switch gears and move out west to see what's going on in California. hard for people because people losing their jobs. Right. X. X. Well, let's switch gears and move out west to see what's going on in California. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, she spent last week touring the Palisades Burn area in Southern California.

She spoke about the devastation in Altadena and how it impacted generations of black and Latino families who owned homes in the area. Now when asked if she had plans to run for governor of the state of California, here's what former Vice President Kamala Harris had to say. I have been home for two weeks and three days. My plans are to be in touch with my community, to be in touch with the leaders and figure out what I can do to support them, and most importantly, to lift up the folks who are surviving this extraordinary crisis and do what I can do to offer any assistance even if it

is a kind word along the way. Yeah so Harris met with first responders and LA County Public Works crews. Pacific Palisades is not far from her home in Brentwood which was in an evacuation zone at one point last month. She also toured the Eaton Fire Burn Zone in Altadena after arriving home from Washington DC on January 20th, which was also inauguration day. So, and I also think this is a great time for me to just go ahead and say thank you to Mimi

for holding it down for me on Friday. You know, she's my LA girl and she held it down on Friday, did a wonderful job. So thanks to Mimi and shout out to her for that. But that's pretty much it guys.

Charlamagne the God, we are the Breakfast Club. Jess is out today, Lauren LaRosa is filling in. Now if you're just joining us, we're opening up the phone lines 800-585-1051. Kendrick Lamar performed at the Super Bowl halftime and you wanna break it down a little bit, I know we missed some of the audio earlier, so I'm sure we can get into some of that audio now.

Yeah, so Kendrick Lamar performed and he opened with Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam with a message to the people. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no And then after that he actually got to the song that everybody wanted to hear him do, not like us. He teased it, act like he wasn't going to do it, and then he went into it and took a direct shot at Drake. Ladies, I want to make a move. I want to perform they favorite song, which you know they love to sue.

Yeah that song. Maybe I think about it. Know what? But you know they love the suit Yeah, that's song Oh, maybe I think about it Know what I slow it down Say ladies do me this song Oh, you lost your damn mind What do you mean they took a direct shot at drake whenever you do it not like a direct shot at drake He said it was about talking about sort of kind of but when he brought up the

I want to do the song but you know, they like the suit. I feel like that was, that was a, another shot of Drake. Yeah, that was another straight punch to the chin. That's more direct than, hey Drake, I heard you like him young. No, that too. And the look, y'all saw the grin.

When he looked at the camera and they did this grin. You're right. He'd been giving direct shots all year. I still wouldn't have done Not Like Us if I was Kendrick. And you know, Kendrick is bigger than Not Like Us. Not Like Us is Like Us if I was Kendrick. And you know, Kendrick is bigger than Not Like Us. Not Like Us is a moment in time for Kendrick.

It does not define him or who he is. But I will say, it's so poetic that this all started because Cole and Drake got on first person shooter saying things like, it's a big three, but I feel like Muhammad Ali and you know, Drake was asking who's the goat and both of them saying they big as the Super Bowl. No, you're not. All right, Kendrick is. All right. Kendrick is big as the Super Bowl. Kendrick did the Super Bowl last night and you know at the end of the set it said game over. I really hope it is at this point. You know what I'm saying?

It should be. You should never go past the mark you aim for in victory. Is the game really over though because Kendrick has the whole GNX Tour and he's going to throw he's gonna re-throw the shots he's already thrown and i'm sure he's gonna pull some rabbits out of hats like sir Serena popping up and and doing the crit walk was like that was my everybody was like what's the big surprise he has Straight to the camera. If I was Serena's husband I would have said look here Why are you out here crit walking over your ex? We are married with kids. This has nothing to do with you Okay, baby, you said you? You still got feelings or something? Like, you know, is there like a door still open?

You need closure? Why you need to be out here crib walking? The girls was going off, go off Serena. Jesus, now see I think it was, I think he had to do the song. I mean, it was the biggest hit of his career. He just won five Grammys. Every sports team uses that.

The Olympics used it. It's one of the most popular catchphrases in the last two years. I think he had to do that song. That was his biggest song of his career. That's what bothers me when y'all say he had to do it. This is Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick has one of the most stellar solo catalogs of any artist ever. That's facts. Period. I mean he's one of the most critically acclaimed artists ever. He won a Pulitzer Prize. He is not not like us. Not like us is a moment in time for Kendrick. It does not define him. That's his biggest song that he's done.

Sure but it does not define him or who he is and I wouldn't and I wouldn't just give my op and his minions that kind of love on that big-ass stage. Like Kendrick won in every way possible. It's officially over and I'm glad at the end of the set, it's that game over because of this. And then I also feel like because Drake sued and people said he wasn't gonna be able to do this all. I think it was thing like, nah, I'm gonna do what I wanna do it the way I wanna do it. I thought it was dope.

But he did not say the word pedophile though. The crowd did. Yeah, he didn't say it. Yeah, but I'm saying if you gonna poke your chest out like that, it's got to, okay. This is the first time I'm gonna agree with Charlamagne on this because if he was gonna poke his chest out like that, if you gonna do it, do it. If that's what you're trying to do, if what you're saying is what he was trying toagne on this because if he was gonna focus just like that if you're gonna do it

Do it if that's what you're trying to do if what you're saying is what he was trying to do He probably couldn't say I was afraid to perform the song at all I'm simply saying is when y'all say Kendrick had to do the song to me He didn't have to do it You know why because the reality is the message he delivered last night on that stage was bigger than any rap beef What message did you get? I got the message that, I mean, it's a lot of different messages. I mean, the fact that he came out there with all of those black men and all those black men were representing, you know, the American flag, right?

The red, white and blue. But even the way they were positioned on the stage, it looks like the flag. And to me, it just looks like, yo, we are America. This country was built off the backs of us as black men. And I just love to see when black men, you know, uplift other black men like that. And I would love to see what the Super Bowl performance would have been if he didn't have the Drake of it all on his mind.

And even when you talk about the Sammy L L Jackson part, that was just America, the black man in America, Uncle Sam telling Kendrick, man, you gotta go out there and play it safe. But you go out there and show your ass in front of these white people. Play that game right, you too loud. And you brought your homeboys with you. That's right. And he went out there and he showed his ass But you go out there and show your ass in front of these white people. Play that game right, you're too loud. And you brought your homeboys with you.

That's right, and he went out there and he showed his ass. That's why I wish, man, oh man, I wish Kendrick would have started it off with Black of the Berry. Oh, if he would have, imagine if you would have heard Black of the Berry at the first song at the Super Bowl. Can you imagine? You think the message went over Trump's head?

Um, I don't know. I don't even know if Trump was listening to her now. He might have been taking a bathroom break. But I also would say this. Let's be honest. The reason Trump, the reason Kendrick was picked probably for the Super Bowl was because of the beef and how big he was last year and how big Not Like Us was

that big that session. You think without Not Like Us in the year that the moments he just had with this situation, he would have still been picked for the Super Bowl? With Jay-Z and Rock Nation? Yes. I don't think so. I don't think so. With Jay-Z and Roc Nation, yes. I don't think so. I don't agree with that.

I don't think so. With Jay-Z and Roc Nation, yes. Kendrick is Kendrick, he's great, but I don't agree that he would have had Super Bowl without not like us. Not like us. Catapulted him into another stratosphere, but let's go to the full ones.

Y'all are bugging. I keep telling y'all, this is the conversation I keep having about Kendrick. Kendrick was Kendrick before all of this. Now did he have a year last year that took him to another level? Yes. Yes, but it's not, I still think he could have did the Super Bowl without not like I disagree. Hello, who's this?

Hey Jasmine, where you calling from I'm calling from Milwaukee. Hey, what's your thoughts? I want to talk about saying happy Monday Every black here three months You know I'm coming on the same thing trying to make it's not often that I did agree with you Why would you say that he shouldn't perform not like us? He will be a little either way if he performed it It's a problem if he did perform it is the problem and you also said that it was gonna get worse after the Super Bowl So why would you say he shouldn't have performed his biggest song of the year?

What you mean is gonna get worse out of the Super Bowl? You said that you said it's gonna going to get worse after the Superbowl. What you talking about? You said that. You said it's going to get worse for him after the Superbowl. The publicity of Kendrick. Worse for Drake, I should say. Oh yeah, of course. What you mean? It's obvious why it's going to get worse for Drake after the Superbowl. So they do not like us on stage.

So why would he perform not like us? What's the logic behind that? Whether or not Kendrick performed not like us at the Super Bowl it would have been bad for Drake. It's been bad for Drake since Kendrick won those five Grammys last week. It's been bad for Drake ever since Drake decided to file a lawsuit okay against UMG because it's not like us. It really can't get no worse for Drake. I know y'all think because y'all see Drake walking around Australia with cowboy rain boots on and basketball shorts and the t-shirts that says wait till you see my penis pointing to his mouth. That's crazy. It was not David hey David come on and talk to us. What were your thoughts?

Can you had an opportunity to Send a real message and he kind of got the better man, you know, there's so many things going on in the world You know, he kind of promote peace, you know, he can promote the peace around the world rather than you know Always been on calling you the pedal the fun of the world. than focus in on calling Drake a pedo in front of the world. That's what kind of messed him up. He could have easily did something where it could have took him some time where he could have had a bunch of artists come on from the past and get them to segue from the past to

the future. That would have been kind of dope. You could have brought Wayne out, could have brought Juvenile out. That would have been kind of dope. You could have brought Wayne out, could have brought Juvenile out, that would have been dope. But you know, you were more focused on Kwan Drake and Pedal and I think that was kind of like, it was forced. Okay, thank you.

I mean, like I said, I would love to see what the Super Bowl performance would have been if he didn't have the Drake of it all on his mind. You know what I mean? But aesthetically, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yeah, I didn't feel like it was forced. I think it flowed, but it just, I think that there was a room for a lot more He gave Drake too much light like the euphoria and then when he stopped what he said when he when he did the whole

Was dope though the euphoria yeah, but I thought that was dope to the little tease because people were waiting like is he gonna do There was a bet if he was gonna do it or not. I thought that meant he wasn't gonna do it. I was like, oh, that's all he gonna give him. And then the song came on. I didn't think he was gonna do the song after that. And if he would have, I think I would have loved him to do the last verse. Like if you go do like, if you're gonna do that on that stage, imagine that last verse.

Once upon a time, all of us was in chains. All them white people, they lost their mind anyway. But they would have really lost their goddamn mind. I think you got to do the first verse too But let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five one. Oh five one. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning Y'all talking about it, you know, we talking about it. It's topic time Call eight hundred five eight five one. Oh five to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy, we are the Breakfast Club, Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess.

We're talking about Kendrick Lamar performing at the Super Bowl 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? Squad on, this right there, Farfetch County. What's up, brother? Take us off Bluetooth or speaker, because we can barely hear you. 585 105 1 hello who's this? What's up, brother take us off Bluetooth for speaker cuz we can barely hear you yeah, man Oh, I don't agree with Sean the man with her ball. Good morning. Good morning All right, I don't know. Do you Charlie Max and that he didn't have to perform? Oh not like us That's the sole reason he was there like y'all got enough That is so anybody was checking for kids a little more before that yes He was there like y'all got a Anybody was checking for Kendrick Lamar before that yes

Performance bro, I think I do think part of the reason why you know They wanted him to perform at the Super Bowl was because of the success he had last year and that included not like but in saying That though you say was anybody checking for Kendrick Lamar is a little And saying that though, to say, was anybody checking for Kendrick Lamar's a little crazy? Kendrick Lamar. He's ridiculous. I'm not, I didn't mean it in that way. I'm saying Super Bowl performance wise. Okay.

Tell me why you don't think that. You know Kendrick Lamar's last tour, the Big Stepless Tour, was the highest grossing rap tour of all time for a solo rapper until Travis Scott's Circus Maximus Tour surpassed it? Yeah, but nobody looking at those numbers when they look super bowl performance. But those are people, those are a hundred. That's all. That's all. 73 shows over a hundred million dollars made across the world.

Kendrick Lamar got mad. He got a public surprise. What are we talking about? That's the type of dollar you collect. So you telling me that people don't like Kendrick Lamar. You telling me that. Before this year, nobody like Kendrick Lamar. You telling me that before this year nobody liked Kendrick Lamar? Now you took to my words. Now you took to my words.

Now tell me, would the performances not, would have not been better if LeWayne performed if we had six foot, seven foot, a million million of performance by big timers, performance by juvenile? Well, you can't go back and forth between and compare those two. I mean, Kendrick was picked for the Super Bowl and I think he's well-deserved to perform at that Super Bowl But I do think that you know his stellar year last year was the reason why he was picked for the Super Bowl and that Included not like us to me. That's what I feel. All right. Thank you brother. No problem

That's why I debate this point so much because I can't stand you Kendrick Lamar is only here because they're not like us folks. Hello, who's this? Oh, my name is Dunn bro from Hasbro. What up? NB Lauren. What's up Dunn? Talk to us bro. What's going on? What's up man? Shalomane, what's good with you bro? Peace King, what's the word? What's your thoughts?

Hey yo, listen man, on the uh, the not like us thing man, like listen, a lot of things when I, when I, when I hear a lot of people talk about when it comes to that subliminally is that bro he's saying like not like us man he's hitting back on the balls on on the level of he's from canada bro we in the u.s you know what i'm saying so like a lot of people are like stressing on that level like bro you talking about this dude from Canada like i was i was in hip-hop bro i was too much into the game back in the day you gotta say like i don't even see the fact that how anybody responded to him because bro you from Canada my man you don't got nothing to do with hip-hop you know what I'm saying we would never even responded to that dude

out of respect for hip-hop we shouldn't even be talking to him bro you from Canada like who are you you know what I'm saying well you know I mean but you when you when you come into America and you know you put your hat into this rap ring and you know you ask who's the goat? You know Kendrick just answered the question. Like we're asking we're acting like these biracial men. J Cole and Drake didn't start all of this. They started all of this. When J Cole got on first person shoot and he said whatever whatever about the big three but I'm feeling like Muhammad Ali? Challenge! When Drake said who's the goat who's the goat who's the goat? Challenge! Biggest Super Bowl word? Kendrick answered all of those questions and spiked the football last night at the Super Bowl. He definitely did and I think

hip-hop is about competition it started about competition who's better than who when rapping against each other. That's right, it doesn't matter where you from. And I think No Not Like Us was the biggest competition or diss record or whatever you want to call it ever the biggest and I think he had to perform the last bigger than not like us. I want y'all to know that y'all do know Kendrick is bigger than 100 percent. We're not. I don't think that I'm not arguing that he's not but I do have a thing that I wanted to say because when Kendrick did the interview remember with Apple Music he was saying that

he was really excited for the Grammy wins because it finally puts like actual rap and battle rap back at the forefront. Correct. Right. So how do we criticize the show the way that well for me how am I criticizing the show actual rap and battle rap back at the forefront. Correct. Right? Yeah. So how do we criticize the show the way that, well for me, how am I criticizing the show the way that I am if he's saying that? Because that's his way of putting what he thinks real music and real conversation is

at the forefront. Never sits him back. Right. Yeah. How we, who's criticizing the show though? Everybody is saying he should have did this record, this record. People want to dance. They want to feel good, right?

No. I just think that the set, I think the set list could have been different just because he has bigger, higher energy records. And when I look at at the theme with aesthetically it's a ten across the board Just imagine if he starts off that show with blacker the berry just imagine and if you won't have a black-ass show like that Imagine doing songs like I imagine doing songs like a mad kid imagine doing songs like money trees backstreet freestyle Mixed in with the TV off in the humbles and the squabble ups in the DNA That's all yeah, I think I think I would have said I would have loved to see all the Kendrick songs No doubt I think he had to do not like us

I think what he did was great, and I think if people said well his set wasn't this is set wasn't that just just look at the amount of Brothers and sisters he had on that stage dancing together and unity in in different gangs, in different hoods and putting them together. I thought that was dope. I mean, at the end of the day, I think he did his thing. I'm a Kendrick fan though, so he super served his fans. He super served the people who actually like Kendrick Lamar and have loved Kendrick Lamar before, not like us.

But like I said, when every sports team in the world is using not like us, when the Olympics is using not like us, when it was one of the biggest catch phrases in the Last two years you just won five Grammys off of that you got a Super Bowl arena and not hear a minor be screamed away at a screen before all of this I said that he should do the horns and then and then and then and then and then do the hook right and that still would Have been dope but um like just like the crossing it no I would do that in the hook But after watching what his theme was last night, I would have did the hook,

the horns, the hook in the last verse. All right. Well, we got a moral to the story. They would have lost a mind hearing him say once upon a time, all of us in change, they would have that crowd would have lost their mind. And he had the people in red, white and blue just locked together and chains moving. Oh my God. That would have been fire. And the second verse would have been fired. I think he had to do in red, white, and blue just locked together and chains moving. Oh my God.

That would have been fire. That would have been fire. The second verse would have been fire like that. I think he had to do the first verse too though. No he didn't. He wanted to.

You can't say, when he looked into the camera and said, Hey, reduce Kendrick Lamar in this song. No one is reducing Kendrick Lamar. I'm not letting y'all do that. Kendrick's biggest record. He practiced that in the mirror.

I was like, okay Kendrick, I see what you did there. He practiced that in the mirror. The moral of the story is simply this, Kendrick Lamar is kryptonite, the biracial man. Cole, Drake, Patrick Mahomes, they simply don't perform well when he's around. Envy, you might not need to go around. Kendrick, no time soon, you'll probably faint. I'm not biracial sir. I'm I am fully BLA fully Dominican black black black black black. We have just the mess with long loads coming up We do a bill. Oh, see Kate. No, I said BLA

CK I Am just I don't know what's happening today and I I drink, I mean, Kendrick been getting at people. I'm trying to make sure you are. I'm good. I'm black. All right. Spell it. Are you black?

Stop playing with me. Do you have a man? Dang. How did we get here? We always go there. I had nothing to do with that. Oh my God. Like what?

Couple days from Valentine's Day. Stop putting me on the spot. All right. What was you asking me? Jess with the mask coming up. What we talking about? We do have Jess with the Mess coming up and Cardi B, I know she was out and about running around for the Super Bowl,

but there's some things going on with her offset and maybe a Stefan Diggs we might need to talk about. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the Mess with Lauren LaRosa. The news is real, whether it's at the Lions, Jessica Robin-Moore, Jess don't do no lying.

Jess don't do no lying. Get your boob, fuck your face. She don't spill nobody. She don't spill nobody. Get your boob, fuck your face. Okay, so Super Bowl stuff kinda of sort of still over the weekend there was a video that started going viral of offset over in New Orleans and I know he's there having a good time and fans were just being funny. He was riding in a black SUV and his head is like out the window. I think he's kind of like trying to direct his car to where he's trying to get to. And people like, look out offset in New Orleans looking for Cardi. And the reason why this the reason why this came up is because right before everybody went to the Super Bowl weekend, Cardi B was out and about in New York and she was at you

know, the girls of karaoke for anyone that doesn't live here in New York that is a karaoke night that happens weekly where Rihanna recently was and it went viral. So a lot of the big name talent go go there now and have a good time. And she was there she was in a section and in her section and there, I'm assuming with her was Stephon Diggs. Now a few months ago there were rumors that Stephon Diggs and Cardi B were dating. So of course them being there together went crazy.

It was, you know, everywhere. And there's no confirmation of if they actually came together or if they left together. They just happened to both be there. Because again, big names do go there and they're there weekly. But people kind of played into that offset video because of that and then once those videos of Cardi B out prior to Super Bowl went viral offset tweeted

these couple tweets which people are saying you know was a subliminal to her he said his new B is badder he's telling somebody that he had them last week by the way so yeah I know they're both down there right now. I don't know what's happening, but maybe Cardi B has a new boo. I don't know. I'm not mad at Stefan Diggs, he fly too. Y'all hate the relationship stuff.

What you mean? Y'all not saying nothing, I'd be so into it. I don't know what's going in and out of their relationships. Like, we're not there. We both just say, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. What do you guys think?

You don't even know. I don't know, but I'm just saying, I think that's Cardi and Stefan Diggs would be cute if that's where she's moving on to. I think that that's a little cute situation for her. We take your word for it. That's how you feel as a woman. Do your thing Lauren. As a woman, you feel do your thing. What are you supposed to say? We are greekie. Yes.

We so cute together. Don't act like that, because you being here, you being here, kiki-ing with me about wags. And now you can't kiki about Cardi. Wags is a TV show that's a reality show that I watch with my wife. I don't go into people's real personal relationships. But shout out to Cardi B. I know Cardi B was out in New Orleans. You're having a good time, too. My son, she took my son out one night, and they had an amazing time.

So if I come in here and hear you kiki-ing about wags, I'm going to change the first letter of wags or something. The bags? I don't know. What you gonna change it to? Hags. Well. Jesus Christ. Go ahead, continue on. Moving on.

It's kind of still Super Bowl related-ish. Kanye West, he was still tweeting over the weekend. Do we have to talk about this guy? Sort of kind of we do. So he was still tweeting over the weekend. Now prior to King Kong, he was still tweeting about the weekend. He was still tweeting over the weekend. We have to talk about this guy. Sort of kind of we do. So he was still tweeting over the weekend.

Now prior to Kendrick taking a stage, Kanye tweeted and said that Kendrick needed to get on that stage and say free puff. Now I think that that would have been career suicide for Kendrick to do, but Kanye West believes differently. He also then began to tweet about R. Kelly. He then also began to tweet directly about Elon Musk because there were a lot of people calling Kanye West out over the weekend because of the anti-Semitic tweets

and things of that nature. And people were upset at Elon Musk. They're saying, hey, you have this platform. This is what you're allowing people to do. I thought it was ridiculous to see people asking a guy who did two hell hit lists to reign Kanye West in. Mm. Talk about it. Clearly he don't care. That's wild. The guy hit y'all did two hell hitlers to rain Kanye Weston. He don't care. The guy hit y'all with two hell hitlers. Y'all have more smoke for Kanye than y'all have for him and then y'all were hitting him up telling him to

rain Kanye in. I think people were upset at the ADL too for that right? Yeah. Oh they jumped all over Kanye. Once again it's ridiculous to see this guy do two hell hitlers Elon Musk But then y'all jump on Kanye, but didn't have the same smoke for uh, Elon. David. And then Kanye could he could actually say free puff because Kanye said he's performing the Super Bowl next year, right? That's what he said. He said he was gonna be there this year Didn't he say about next year Kanye had his little commercial that I don't know where it was He said it was a Super Bowl commercial. Do y'all believe me now when I told y'all that Kanye West was clearly jealous of Kendrick Lamar's moment

That he clearly wishes this was him when he actually tweeted next year, I'm going to win 20 Grammys and I'm going to perform at the Super Bowl. I don't know what I believe because I thought maybe it was a manic like he was just going into one of his episodes or something. But he posted a video saying that that is not what happened because he saw a video that also went viral over the weekend. Kodak Black was in the middle of the street eating chicken. Yes. Kanye West said, hold on Super Bowl talk, relax. I need to go help my friend. Let's take a listen to Kanye West. I just saw a video of Kodak and I wouldn't

want nobody to like do an intervention on me. That's why I want to put this video up because y'all might think, oh man, you ain't really going through right now. Somebody need to go get them or go take his Twitter and stuff like that but I'm just telling you calmly I am in a good space it's cathartic I got my ideas out and that was very freeing for me and it was worth everything it was worth everything to do that so let's start there now I've seen this video my brother Kodak and I feel a call and he's actually wearing this Donda chain it's not just because he's wearing a chain, but it's like how he's sitting here wearing this chain unless something's saying to go and get my brother. And I thought about it before. I was like, man, I should go down to Miami. Maybe I could be the person

that could make a difference. And that's what I'm about to do right now. What is the Donda chain? So it's a Donda dub. It's like a symbol that Kanye uses. It's actually like a symbol separately, but I believe Kanye uses that for everybody that's kind of like with his Donda team. And Kodak Black had a chain on with that symbol in the video where he's sitting down in the street and eating the chicken. Now fans online were very disturbed because it looked crazy. People you know, always try to relate it to drugs.

However, I spoke to a source close to Kodak this morning and he says that it was not related to that. He says that this was actually Kodak Black shooting content for a larger music video that he's going to be putting out. He said that he actually was on FaceTime with Kodak when Kodak was ordering the chicken and it was nothing wrong with him. It looked like random people were walking by and there was cars driving by. I mean they are in the middle of the street so cars are going to drive by. I don't know if that was a video shoot.

There was no security, nothing? What they're telling me is that it was a video shoot. You do see a cameraman come into the video though and he's saying that that is Kodak's cameraman who always shoots on this was for content no matter how it looked. It's part of a bigger piece of content so we just have to, I guess, wait to see

what that's gonna be. But Kanye West got off X, deleted, or got kicked off X and then went to go find Kodak. I don't know if they's gonna be. But Kanye West got off X, deleted, or got kicked off X, and then went to go find Kodak. I don't know if they linked up yet. Imagine Kanye West showing up saying that you need help. Me? I was thinking the same thing about you.

Let's go together. Let's go together. Let's hold hands and go together. Absolutely right. Well, I don't know if Kanye West got kicked off X or Oh, he's not on X anymore. As of right now, no, his account is not there anymore anymore as of right now know his his platform his um his account is not there anymore but I don't I don't know if they actually

removed him because of the tweets or if they shouldn't he couldn't take it after the Super Bowl okay Donald Trump was there Taylor Swift all watching Kendrick Lamar spiked the football on his number one op Drake he couldn't take it okay the jealousy jealousy and envy destroys from within you do know that right? Can you say he living good? He just gave game to Maybach's he worried about the Super Bowl, please So so why he wanted to do it next year Lauren. He literally tweeted it. He literally said next year I'm gonna win 20 Grammys and I'm a performance of Super Bowl if that don't scream jealousy envy and I wish this moment was mine I don't know what does And that is just with the mess thank you Lauren LaRosa

Charlamagne who you giving that donkey to? Man four after the hour we need the city county building the people who work there in Indianapolis to come to the front of the congregation we'd like to have a word with them because we need common-sense gun reform in America and this proves it all right we'll get to that next it's the Breakfast Club good morning don't be out here acting like a donkey. Tee-hi, bitch. Tee-hi. It's time for Donkey of the Day.

I'm a big boy, I can take it. If you feel I deserve it, it ain't no big deal. I know Charlamagne guy gonna have some funny shit out of his mouth. If you say something you may not agree with, it doesn't mean I'm mean. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey. That donkey. Donkey of the Day, right here. Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha. It's the Breakfast Club, bitches. You can call me the Donkey of the Day, but like, I mean no harm. Don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't work at the city county building in Indianapolis. Now there is a man named Terry Sutherland, okay,

who decided to perform a social experiment in Indianapolis. And the social experiment was to highlight the need for common sense gun laws in America. Drop one of Clu's bombs for Terry Sutherland. I love a great social experiment, okay. I love, love, love, love, love a great social experiment. And I am 2A all day, but I also understand the need for common sense gun laws. So Terry wanted to prove a point. And the

point is that anyone can get a firearm in America. And when you hear more of the story, you will see that his point was proven. Let's go to ABC 10 for the report, please. Tonight, we're looking into a story getting some buzz. It claims a blind man was issued a concealed carry gun permit in Indiana. And it's true, Terry Sutherland was using his white cane when he came to the City County building in

Indianapolis to get fingerprinted for the permit. He says he also spoke with several people who knew he was blind. But despite that, he was still issued a conceal carry permit without an issue. Sutherland has no intention of using a gun. He says he went through the process to highlight the need for common sense gun laws. He says he sent letters to state lawmakers and he has not yet heard back.

Round of applause for that man. Round of applause for Terry. Now I know that a lot of people have a lot of negative stereotypes in regards to blind people. I say often that a lot of blind people can actually see better than those of us who have eyes. Okay. I mean, we are at the point in our lives that we don't even believe if Stevie Wonder is really blind. But let me be the first to tell you, he is. And there's also a reason that Daredevil doesn't use guns. Y'all know who Daredevil is, right? Matt Murdock,

blind superhero, new series, Daredevil Born Again, starting on Disney Plus March 4th. This man once said in the comic books he doesn't use guns because of the carnage that he could unleash on people. Yes Dead Devil because you're blind Okay, I believe blind people can do a lot of things in this country But owning a gun and driving a car probably not good ideas. Do we know blind people that drive cars? Do they? I don't think so. I never thought about how they get anywhere. You think they ride the dog? Huh? I just never thought about how they get anywhere. You think they ride the dog? Huh?

I just never thought about it. Jesus Christ. Listen, Terry has the right to bear a cane, but not arms, okay? And if he does have a seeing eye dog, that seeing eye dog better be trained like John Wicks. Because if you shooting at everything the dog barks at, my God.

Oh my goodness. Okay? My God. All right? Blind people carrying guns is like blind people driving an Uber. Would you get into an Uber with a blind person? No. Okay. All right? Blind people carrying guns is like blind people driving an Uber. What'd you get into an Uber? With a blind person?

No. Okay. All right. Now Terry said he spoke to several people you heard the news report who knew he was blind. He came in with a white cane, but despite that he was still issued a concealed carry permit without an issue. Wow.

Listen man, the reason you will never get common sense gun laws in America is simple. Because nobody has common sense in America anymore. Okay, and this story proves it. Some donkey of the day just sell themselves. Please give the city county building in Indianapolis the biggest he'll. He said he wrote them a letter and they um. He wrote the letter. No, he said he wrote the letter. That's what he said, he said he wrote them a letter and they um he wrote them a letter?

no he wrote the letter? that's what he said he wrote them a letter and he hasn't heard back yeah he wrote the letter like what if they sent the letter he just don't know he got it they probably responded that's all I was saying

y'all need to call homie though cuz he said he didn't hear back I'm like man he said you was blind not deaf you might have gotten the letter back my brother okay what is this? is that braille? Cause you said you didn't hear back. I'm like, man, you said you were blind, not deaf. So you might've gotten the letter back, my brother. Okay. What is this? Is that Braille? What is it, Tish Mac? What does it say?

What does it say? It said it's how the guy write. Cut it out. I was gonna ask, but I didn't wanna be fab. Like, cause how he know how to stay online and how to be straight, cause he writing. Stop. Close your eyes and try to write a sentence.

I bet you can't do it straight. I guarantee you can't do it straight. That's I can close your eyes They have heightened senses guys Alright I'm lying Cuz they use I thought they use My me you seen sound so stupid. No, I thought, I don't know. They do use Braille. That's why I asked, was it Braille?

Braille's a reader. No, the right letters too. We probably sound so, I'm sorry. We sound so stupid. I'm sorry. All the blind listeners, I apologize. Did you ask me, could they drive earlier? Did I answer that?

He did ask. Why would I answer that? And we said no. I don't know why you answered that. Well, it's okay to be stupid on this topic. I'll be dumb. Somebody be deaf and y'all be blind. And then we'll figure it all out.

We'll figure it out. Okay? Jesus Christ. All right. Well, somebody be deaf and y'all be blind and then we'll figure it all out. We'll figure it out. Jesus Christ. Alright, well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now when we come back, Big Dank will be joining us. You know Big Dank, she's a rapper from Detroit. Recently she was in the news because she's suing Lyft because the Lyft driver says she was too big to give her a ride. And it was crazy because the Lyft driver was blind, so I don't even know how this happened. We'll talk to Big Dank when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Naga. We are The Breakfast Club. Laura Rosa is hanging out with us as well. We got a special guest in the building. Who we got? We have Big Dank. Dank DeMoss. Welcome. Thank you. How are you? How are you feeling today? I'm good. Happy to have you. Who we got we have big dank dank DeMoss welcome How you feeling today Happy to have you you know when we first heard about your story You know there was a lot of jokes made everybody made jokes including us But when I heard you was a rapper I was like you know why not have her up here and have a have a conversation

See if this could help something Make the most of the moment Absolutely, where you from? Detroit. Detroit. How long you been doing music? I've been doing music for a long time. I took it seriously in 2016. And you were on Debs House as well.

I was. On what? Debs House. Debs House. Um. How was that? It was good. It was a learning experience. Did it help or hurt you in any way like your music

I mean, I'm doing the same thing I was doing before you know, it was okay. You won't see the wrong thing You were really teary-eyed yeah Explain what Deb's house is a show where she brings, Deb Antony brings the rap. Waka Flocka's mom. Waka Flocka's mom. You know, she's discovered some of the biggest and the best, Nicki Minaj, a bunch of people. But she brings the rap girls on and she tries to coach them through building their careers. And then at the end, there's one that she picks that she focuses on.

You didn't make it to the end, but you were on the show. But one of the clips that I remember seeing going viral from you was when you were breaking down, you were really upset. Talk that moment. It is what the experience So I just felt like I was put in it Okay, so a lot of people said I was being difficult, but I feel like I was put in a difficult situation I was in a store then I could fit nothing, you know So when I finally found something that I could fit it was like, oh, that's not a boss take that off You know, so I I felt some type of way.

But yeah, I just felt like I was put in a difficult situation and I was trying, I was seeing everybody able to fit things and you know, I'm getting frustrated because I can't find nothing. I don't want to make nobody mad. I want to look good and stuff like that. So that's why I started crying. I was a little frustrated.

You know, you walked in and you know, you said the chair was too small so we had to bring the part of the sectional for you to sit in and you said something, you said, and this is what I'm talking about, accommodations. Yes. But we live in a world that's not always going to be able to accommodate people that are plus size. But we should though. We should because we not all the same. I feel like we should. Why not? I feel like a lot of times people think that bigger people obese, the F word

people should just be in the house when it's like we not. The F word? Yeah, the F word. You heard that you can't say in your house fat. Oh! I'm not saying that word. Yeah, we don't need to use that word in my house either. I thought you were talking about the gay slur. I'm like, wait, I'm confused.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. But I just feel like it should be accommodated. Bigger people should be accommodated. Just like we accommodate the LGBT community, all those other communities. I just feel like we outside. If we inside is get up, why you in the house? You should be doing this, you should be doing that. When we outside is like, why you not in the house?

I know a lot of times, even seeing it like like with like how Liz, although she's lost a lot of weight now, you know how it could be like some of the clothes that the F people wear, you know with things hanging out and you know try to wear things that the small, the S people be wearing. I don't live in a world where skinny people, when the F people, that's not my reality. I am a human being. I am regular. Just because I'm outside with my, like I said, I've been doing this a long time. And when I said I've been doing this a long time, I've been putting on for people

like me for a long time. I did a naked photo shoot in 2017. Now all the big girls showing their stomach, they showing skin. You know, the people wasn't doing that. We had porn stars doing it, but we didn't have regular people doing it. Now they doing it. I just feel like, I'm going to wear what I want to wear. I'm going to be cute with it too. You know? I think a lot of, I think part of it is, is like yourself, you're speaking up about it.

A lot of bigger people don't speak up about it, right? Mac, who's one of the producers up here, was a lot bigger, he lost a lot of weight. But I didn't know all the problems that he had until he spoke about it, because it's just something that you don't think about it. Like he said he would get on a plane and it would be difficult, you know? He said he would go to the gym, it would be difficult.

But those are things that we just don't think about, because I think people don't ever make it a thing. So the fact that this incident happened puts it on people's minds, so you can tell what you have to deal with. Because you know know these are some of the things that we don't have to do Again the plane situation. That's not my reality Anytime I south shout out to Southwest because they accommodate bigger people if you need two seats They're gonna give it to you for free if you pay for two seats. They don't refund you really I don't have that problem like

Last time I went to Delta, they said You might need two seats ma'am But we're gonna let you get on I never have a problem with my seating when I get on a plane I never have problems When I come into a room, I demand my respect And I'm sweet, I'm a nice person So I feel like people respect that

I respect you, you respect me. It's never issues with me. The issue be with the steering or the judging or stuff like that. Then a lot of people will look at me and be like, oh, she just, she eat, she do this, she do that all the time. That's not my reality either. So break down the incident and what happened now for people that don't know, they heard the story.

So I was getting ready for my cousin's watch party, the Lions game or whatever, and I ended up ordering me a lift. You know, it's like 15 minutes. And you order a lift all the time. It's not about issue. Yes, I do. It was like 15 minutes away. This, yeah, the driver's here.

I went downstairs. As I'm walking to the car, he looking funny. Door's getting unlocked. I'm just like, Dale, you ain't going to let me in your car? I'm like, for real? So I put my camera out. And it's like, why you not letting me in your car? Like I kind of peeped that, that's what he was on

because the look at me, I've seen that look before, you know, so that's how that happened. This is the first time this has ever happened. The first time. And you normally order, cause I know one of the things too, people like there was conversation like, well, she should have ordered a bigger car,

like the XL, whatever. You normally order the regular car. Yeah, I always ordered the regular cars and I feel like I don't have to order an uber xl or a lift xl I feel like I don't have to do that like the same car was a Mercedes And it's the same car that her best friend has and she rides in it that same People know what cars they can fit in. Do they though? Yeah, we do.

I can fit in any car. She's not gonna set herself like that. What type of car you got? You can't do some cars. Right now I got a, what do I got? You got a little Lincoln. You got a truck. She's got a truck.

She's got a little truck. Yeah, I got a little Prius. I can fit in there. You can't fit in no Prius. Yes, I can. I can fit in there. She just told you that she sat in a PT Cruiser and she was fighting for the PT Cruiser. Yes, told you that she said in a PT Cruiser she was fine with it.

Yes I did, I was in a PT Cruiser. Now the world is cruel and I know you got those jokes and everybody was joking you, but how are you because of that? Because you know it has to be emotional distress, it has to be problems, it had to make you hit it differently or are you a thick skin person like Effie? I just feel like the thing that bothered me for real that made me make that videos because they kept on saying I got the man fire.

But when it comes to the comments and stuff like that, I've been going through this all my life, you know, it's nothing new to me.

I don't feel like I need to over-stimulate myself with the comments or respond for real. But I feel like I got very tough skin because at the end of the day, I have to be dank. And the world know me as dank, they don't know me as Deja. They're getting to know Deja because I'm everywhere as Deja now.'re getting to know Deja because I'm everywhere as Deja now, but I feel like Deja is for at home.

Dank is for y'all. Deja, you wanna spit something now to stop the taking? What I wanna spit, hold on, let me see. I'm thinking y'all not hearing me, so I'm hard. When my daddy died, I got straight to it. Told myself, mommy and my brothers ain't gotta do it. Yeah, made time, started wasting time, and started f***ing up in school

cause money ruined my mind. Now I got a lifestyle. Damn, what'd I my mind now I got a lifestyle damn what I say Now I got a lifestyle Hold on Bring me back That's so f***ing f***ing good You got flops Laugh

That's what I got I'm a little nervous We gonna play a song tell us what song you want us to play then Let's do Just Talking Just Talking All right well we got more with Big Dank when we come back let's get into her joint Just Talking It's the Breakfast Club good morning Morning everybody it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious Alright, well we got more with Big Dank when we come back. Let's get into her joint, just talkin'. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,

Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. We were just kickin' in with Big Dank. You know, she's the young woman who's a rapper from Detroit that is also suing Lyft because Lyft wouldn't let her get in the car because they said, uh, her weight. That was her joint, just talkin', and we're still kickin' in with her. Charlamagne?

You know, you compared your situation to the LGBTQ, and a lot of people would say, well, LGBTQ people don't have a choice to be gay or whatever, but you have a choice to be plus size. So they want you to make better choices. Eat right, work out, lose the weight. I feel like- What you mean?

They don't have a choice to be gay. I feel like I do. People think- You're born gay. Born gay. I'm, hey. I don't know. That's what you start, now.

That's the debate right there. That is, but for most of you, let's just hypothetically say they're born gay. I feel like I do. I work on myself, you know? And when I feel like I'm getting too much, I try to fix it, you know, like at my pace, you know? You understand?

Yeah, and we have a way specialist right here. Is there a way specialist? Fix our mic. What's your name, ma'am? Stormy. Stormy, Dr. Stormy. Thank you. One time, when we have these conversations

with plus size people, it always comes up that, oh, everybody that's big isn't unhealthy. And some people just can't lose the weight. They're dealing with issues. Like, she has a thyroid. What do you, talk to us about that. So I've been dank provided for a little over three months, right? And she's lost 80 pounds. You know 80 pounds go look different from her 80 pounds, right? Because she started at three five eighty

So even with her being at 500 people be like she's still not losing but that's not the case Well her thyroid makes it very difficult for her to lose weight because her hormones is on balance So when your hormones is on balance and they're all over the place, it controls a lot of things and it makes it very difficult for you to lose weight but keep it off as well. So I think for her, she's consistent because she done lost 80 pounds. But it's hard.

And she's too big for surgery. I was gonna ask, do you suggest surgery? So we're gonna try surgery after she has to reach at least 300. So that's our goal 300 get her down to 300 and then she'll do her surgery What's it always like Mac? I always told Mac I would give him the surgery but he had to get to a certain weight So once he gives down if you want to get the surgery, you know, yeah What surgery would you suggest is a waste of the sleeve the sleeve the gastric sleeve or the gastric bypass?

Now can the sleeve bust you sometimes you hear about the sleeve complications with those too So that's why we're just trying to find a more safe alternative route but we gotta get her down a little bit because you don't want all that fat around her heart right? And when she go into surgery. Now what is she doing to lose the weight? Like what's the procedures? You know break it down for us. So she's on medical weight loss, she's on semaglutide which is sort of like ozempic

but with milder side effects. So she comes to our spot every week to get her injections and then she's on semaglutide, which is sort of like ozempic, but with milder side effects. So she comes to our spa every week to get her injections and then she's on our weight loss supplement, which we formulated with the pharmacist to help her with her multivitamin and just keeping her everyday nutrition going. Now, does insurance cover this or do you have to come out your pocket? Because that's another thing that could affect people as well because if they can't afford it. It's a lot out of pocket. A lot of insurances won't pay for it.

So they'll wait till you get the high blood pressure, the diabetes to pay for the medicine. So it's a lot of people who can't afford it. When did you get comfortable in your skin, right? Because you wear whatever you want to wear. You don't care what people say. So when did you get that comfortable? I feel like when she did that naked photo. No, it was before that girl. I just feel like. When did you make the only fans? Was that when you were comfortable?

When I make the only fans. I probably made that like a couple years ago. But when I got comfortable in my skin, it started as a kid because like when I would get ready for school, if I had on a big shirt or something, I just look crazy. My daddy be like, you look good baby girl, or you you beautiful baby girl I look my mama be like girl take that off You know but I feel like it started at a young age because like I said I used to get picked on I used to fight all the time so they made sure I felt good within myself

So and I really started like popping out of my shell in college And you said you got an OnlyFans? I do. Oh, they running it up. They running it up on the OnlyFans. Man, they running it up. I don't know. Y'all just gonna have to go slow. How about you making an OnlyFans? How about you making an OnlyFans?

Thank them all. How about you making a money coming in? What you making a money? Allegedly. Say stay out my pocket. Has this situation helped hurt your music career? Cause I don't want you to become a novelty big day. I feel like I am going wherever God takes me. hurt your music career but I don't, whatever.

People gonna be negative, you know. And that's whether you were skinny, medium, or. They gonna talk about me when I get small too, but it's cool. So you wanna get small, that is the goal. Yeah. Are you worried that people will only identify Big Dank from her physical appearance

and won't ever really take your music serious? No, cause I make good music. I make beautiful music. I sing, I rap, I write for people. Probably some people y'all heard, but... I saw Ghostwriter in your bio on your Instagram. Yeah, I write. I feel like I am a great artist. Even when I get smaller, I'm still going to be big d***. Did they apologize? Did they reach out to apologize? They tried to, but it's like... So they did try to contact you directly? Yeah. And you didn't want to take the call why not? Because I don't I don't want to you know and I feel like y'all need to make change to your app. What do you want them to change? I want them at least to like accommodate us you know I feel like we shouldn't have to pay more for uber xl or something like that and I also feel like they need to be checking their workers cars to make sure you know

They know what the tires is not squeaking or anything like that I just feel like it should be like are you over this weight or you know, and they'll see you the car You know cuz we wouldn't have to go through that like in the app before you order Yeah. Because a lot of big people, they only show their face. They don't want to show their whole body. Right. Did you try to, after this happened with you with Liv, did you try to, I guess for like the lawsuit or proven purposes, I don't know if this is a thing that y'all would do, like

order the same car but via like Uber or something and see if they would treat you differently? Like no, it's because it's not a game to me. I'm not trying to figure, I'm not trying to see. Like play around with it. Yeah, this really happened to me. Like it's not a joke to me. It might be a joke to everybody. Everybody might, oh, she did this for clout. She did this. Like I said, I'm in the clout. I am around with it. Yeah, this really happened to me. Like it's not a joke to me. It might be a joke to everybody.

Everybody might, oh, she did this for Clow. She did this. Like I said, I've been the Clow. I am the Clow. I've been doing this for a long time. You know, it's not a game. It's not a joke to me. Like I really feel like it should be changed.

And you didn't even report the guy. Yeah, I didn't do that. No, I didn't report him. I didn't talk to Liv. I didn't do none of that, y'all. That's why he never issued a statement saying he was lying. And it's funny because before I posted, when I posted everybody was like, you need to do this and you need to do that, lawyers, lawyers, lawyers.

But when I got a lawyer it's like, oh you're wrong. That's the internet and I've been dealing with the internet for a long time. That's why I can be Deja and I can be Dane. Alright, and tell them where to find you and all of that good stuff Um, thank them awesome on social media platforms The NKD M OSS and we rooting for you day like we want to keep up with your progress We won't keep up with dr.

The Breakfast Club. 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, brother. Hilarious, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. Tell her I'm ready. She don't spare nobody. She don't spare nobody. She don't spare nobody.

Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess. Tell her I'm ready. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coach of sorts. Well, Rick Ross and 50 Cent continue to still, you know, go back and forth about the big meach, little meach, BMF, that whole conversation. Over the weekend, TMZ did a story and in this story they clarified that Rick Ross cannot make a BMF movie if he tried to because 50 Cent owns all of the storytelling, the BMF stories, TV and film rights. Now let's take a listen to Rick Ross and why this story came about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So look, I do want to do a BMF film because you've been entertained by lackluster, small budget series. Now it's time to do a big budget film.

Which director? Shout out to my homie, F. Gary Gray, Antoine Foucault, what's up? Tarantino, there's a lot of legends. This is gonna be big, I can feel it. I'm just talking, I'm just talking. Now sources with direct knowledge of the existing contracts tell TMZ that 50 is a sole owner, as I mentioned,

of both the BMF stories, TV and film rights, and nothing is changing. They were also told that 50 Cent right now is using junior unit film division to get into the production of Tammy Coen's who is the woman that we know was going back of earth with Big Meach Her life story to continue the next official phase of the BMF franchise. So something's gonna come BMF We thought it was completely over but there's gonna be another Continuation of it it'll be involving her story And that was the woman who was a friend and business partner of Big Meach at one point

And she was she in addition to of Big Meach at one point. She in addition to being BMF's CEO at one point as well. Yeah, if 50 is ending the show, it would be hard for me to believe that he's ending the show just because he got issues with Meach and Lil Meach. 50's a very strategic person. If he's calling for the ending of the show,

that mean he's already got something in the works. Well, it could be, it could be because of that, but then he's pivot for the ending of the show, that means he's already got something in the works. Well, it could be. It could be because of that, but then he's, you know, pivoting going somewhere else as well. Because this story seems like this lady was, I guess when Meach was in jail, you're not allowed to make money while you're in jail, so I guess she was the one that was running it, and I guess she's going to be telling her story. So it could be both. And would the show ending be just on 50? I doubt it. There's a lot of different people that he would have to talk to about that, especially at especially at stars other executives. Yeah. Trust me if they are calling if they called for the ending of this show

50 got something else up his sleeve. Well yes I agree with everything that you guys are saying but I want to say little meech has been catching all the strays in this because why would the way that Rick Ross just came at the show like y'all have saw a little budget lackluster that plays a part in the acting as well too and it's like poor little me cheating got the text messages posted now his acting is lackluster he was just trying to you know what I mean bring the groceries home for his cousin and get some money for his dad when he came home yeah Ross you're not just insulting the 50 when you say that okay you've been insulting the whole cast the whole production everybody. Yeah Well in other news our girl Chloe

Maybe I put Morning everybody is DJ envy just hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club Laura Rosa filling in for Jess It's black history month. What we doing today? Charlamagne listen, you know every day during black history month

My god be that puts out an episode of I didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Either on the Black Effect I Heart Radio podcast network. And today he's gonna introduce words of oppression like drapetomania. What is drapetomania? We'll discuss. I didn't know maybe you didn't know. I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know. Back in 1851, this guy named Samuel Cartwright,

he's a doctor, mind you, comes up with this disease called Draptomania. And what was this illness you ask? Well, I'll share. It was when enslaved black people wanted to escape. Yes, apparently wanting freedom was considered a mental disorder. Like, oh wait, you don't enjoy being beaten and overworked and treated like property?

Must be something wrong with your brain. And Dr. Cartwright wasn't just joking around. He had treatment plans. Spoiler alert, they weren't great. His cure was basically, you just gotta hit him harder because you know, nothing says mental health care like a little violence. But Drapedomania wasn't the only wild word they came up with during this time

Oh, no, they had a whole lexicon of oppression take chattel for example. That's what they call the enslaved people You've heard of chattel slavery. Yeah chattel means property like a couch or a cow Imagine being referred to as someone's loveseat. Well, how about term fugitive slave? That term was for people who escaped slavery. It made it sound like these folks were robbing banks instead of, you know, trying to not be enslaved. Then there were the slave codes. And we've discussed these in previous seasons of I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Either.

But these were actually laws designed to control enslaved people. They dictated everything, where you could go, who you could talk to, even whether you could learn to read. Like, we're already still in your freedom, but let's go ahead and micromanage your existence too. Oh, here's another fun one. Manumissions. Now these were rare, because that's when an enslaver decided to free someone. Thoughtful. Congratulations, you're free. Now go figure out life in a world has been set up to screw you over. They also had a term, the task system. And that's where enslaved people were given daily assignments instead of just working

from sun up to sundown. Yeah, people actually thought this was progress. It's like saying, good news, you only have to suffer for half the day now. So why am I telling you all this? Because words have power. Back then they used words to dehumanize, to control, to justify the unjustifiable. And today we still see how language shapes the way we view people and history. But here's the thing, we get to decide how we use our words now. So let's use them to lift each other up, to tell the truth and to remind the world that no one should ever need a diagnosis

to want their freedom. Drake-domania, a word that I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. Happy Black History Month, everybody. Thank you to B.Dot Man and make sure you subscribe to the I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Need the podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network available everywhere you listen to podcasts.

What's y'all go-to dish? Oh what's the go-to dish? It's a lot I mean you got shrimp and grits you got different rice dishes because you gotta understand like Charleston is is heavy Gichi Gullah West African culture so like it's a lot of that is what it's I mean it's definitely seafood it's a lot of different things red rice it's a lot of that. I mean, it's definitely seafood. It's a lot of different things. Red rice, it's a lot. I mean, don't worry. I love that about New Orleans, but Charleston is the other one. But I'm from there, so I'm biased.

And also, Lauren, you got something coming up? Yes. So I know it's cold and it's snowing in New York and everywhere else you are, I don't know what the weather is. But looking forward to some good weather, I will be in the Dominican Republic Memorial Day Week, that is May 22nd through the 27th, for the Memorial Day Getaway. It's a HBCU Black Alumni Weekend. You do not have to be a graduate of HBCU to come. It's just a Black fun weekend,

but we do want the HBCU grads there, so come, pop out with me. You can get your tickets at memorialdaygetaway.com and make sure, at checkout, you let them know Lauren LaRosa sent you. We're going to have a good time. I'm going to see y'all there. All right. Well, you got a positive note?

I do have a positive note, man. And the positive note is simply this. And salute to Kendrick Lamar. I thought he did a great job for the Super Bowl halftime show. I would have picked a different set list, but I love what the show represented. And I love that Kendrick never ever lets himself be put in the box. So I just want to tell y'all this great quote

from Adlai Stevenson. Adlai Stevenson once said, all progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions. Always remember that. All progress has resulted from people who took unpopular positions. Have a great day.

Breakfast club bitches! You want to finish or y'all done?
