This is an I-Heart podcast.
Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the On Purpose podcast.
Recently, I had a conversation with the one and only, Madonna.
When I was broke and I had no friends, nowhere to live, I was held up at gunpoint,
I was robbed, always horrendous things happened to me.
I had such an unhappy childhood that whatever happened to me in New York is better than
what my life was, so I'm not going back.

It is Tuesday.
Good morning.
How y'all feel out there?
I feel blessed black and highly favorite.
Happy to be here another day to serve our beautiful listeners.
My boundaries have already been violated this morning because, you know, I don't know how you other ladies feel.
But, you know, you walk into work and, you know, there's a man to give me a hug person.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what?
You know, to give me a hug guy is never wanted anywhere.
Not at work, not at family reunions, not at cookouts, okay?
I had a rough morning.
Yeah.
And I said, Charlaman, I just, I want a hug.
That's it.
This nigga need a bidet, yo.
He came in, dropped the looms.
Before you even walked in, they didn't want to hug you.
I had Indian food last night.
And as soon as I came in this morning, I had to run right to the bathroom.
It was a rough morning.
Yes.
So when Charlottie came in, I said it was a rough morning.
I just wanted a hug.
He walked up to dab, you though.
Right, but I wanted a hug.
And then when I refused to give a ball.
hug and I turned around. He chased me
and hug me from the back. Chase you.
H.R. violation. Right before your prayer.
That's what I start. Red was in here.
He could have hug red.
Brandon Youngana was in here. He could have hug young gana.
Jess was in here. You don't want to a woman.
He didn't give me no hug this morning.
You see what I didn't want to give you a hug because I just left the bathroom.
That Indian fool had me going this morning.
It got to the point. I didn't even come here for it.
I went right to the bathroom. I see.
Woo! I got it out. I let it go.
Let it go.
How do you need a house without pooping?
I did poop when I left the house.
Oh, I don't even care, man.
Then when I got here, I had a birthday at home.
I had a bidet at home. Not here, though.
There was no bidet here.
I don't care.
Well, good morning, guys.
Good morning.
All right.
Well, we got a special guest joining us this morning.
Chris Gotti, right?
Chris Gotti will be joining us this morning.
Chris Gotti, of course, is Irv Gotti's brother.
He's one of the founders of Murder Inc.
He's the one that actually found Ashanti.
Yeah, so we'll talk to a...
They did not know that.
Yeah, we'll talk to Chris Scott.
He'll break down everything that he's doing and everything that, you know,
went on with his brother and all that.
So we'll talk to.
I always enjoy those throwback stories because that was a golden era of hip-hop.
You know what I mean?
So I always like to hear people who were from that era have discussions about that era.
But he also has a new league.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, the basketball?
Is it the Clash League?
Is it called the Clash-Lag, Pro-Clash League?
Well, we'll get into that.
Our producers ain't put none of that on the table.
Crazy.
Yeah, so we'll get into all that, too.
All right.
But let's get the show cracking.
we come back. Mimi will be joining us. She'll be breaking
down everything that's going on. Mimi Brown.
So it's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ NV. Jess O'Lariah, Shalamee, the guy. We are the breakfast
club. Let's get in some front page news.
Start off with some quick sports.
Last night, the dolphins beat the Jets 27, 21. The Broncos beat the Bengals
28 to 3. Tyreek Hill. He suffered a dislocated
knee and was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
So that was NFL sports.
What's up, Mimi?
me? Good morning, everyone. How are you?
I'm great.
Peace, me, me.
Good morning, good morning. Okay, so we start this morning in Washington, where a government
shutdown is now just hours away. Congress has until midnight tonight to strike a deal or large
parts of the federal government will grind to a halt. Now, after a high-stakes meeting at the
White House yesterday, both sides walked away, still pointing fingers. Republicans blame
Democrats for refusing to pass a short-term funding bill. And Democrats say the GEOCRAs,
is trying to push through a plan without their input.
Let's hear how Vice President J.D. Vance put it after that meeting.
I think we're headed to a shutdown because the Democrats won't do the right thing.
I hope they change their mind, but we're going to see.
Whatever our disagreements are, let's negotiate with them, let's talk about them,
let's figure out a bipartisan solution, but you don't shut the government down.
In other words, you don't put a gun to the American people's head and say,
unless you do exactly what Senate and House Democrats want you to do,
we're going to shut down your government.
That's exactly what they're proposing out there.
I feel like this happens every few months.
Every few months you see this headline.
It's like the government's going to be shut down.
It's like Nick Cannon's having a baby.
Nikki Minaj had a Twitter ran.
It's just like the same headline every few months.
Yeah, but I always ask the same question.
If it does shut down, what does that mean for the American people?
Yeah, and we're going to get there.
It means it could mean a lot for the American people,
and it could look a lot different for the American people.
I know we talked about yesterday how the president is threatening mass
layoffs if the government does shut down, but Democrats are also firing back saying Republicans
are the ones refusing to compromise. Let's hear Senator Chuck Schumer on that.
Their bill has not one iota of Democratic input. That is never how we've done this before.
When I was leader, we negotiated four times with Republicans and we never had a shutdown.
And so it's up to the Republicans, whether they want to.
a shutdown or not.
Well, Democrats insist that
any deal must include protections
like the Obamacare tax credits,
which are expected to expire at the end
of the year. And with neither side
backing down, the odds of a government shutdown
starting tomorrow keeps climbing.
And to answer your question, NB,
for everyday people, the fallout looks
real in many ways. It could be
delayed food assistance, small
business loans. Those
also could be delayed housing
programs, slower processing
for Social Security benefits
or veterans benefits, you know, so
just real consequences. And
again, President Trump has warned there could be
mass firings if the government does
shut down, and that's a major break from the
past. Usually government workers are
furloughed and they're called back with
pay. And so he's saying that
he's using something in his arsenal
saying that if you do do this,
thousands of people could be laid off. So that
has lots of federal workers really scared.
Oh, all right. Yeah.
And meanwhile, YouTube is
agreeing to pay a $24.5 million lawsuit to settle with President Trump. This comes after the
platform suspended his account for the January 6th capital attacks. Now, most of that money,
about $22 million of it, will go to Trump himself. He says he'll use it to help fund a brand
new White House state ballroom as a $200 million project. He's been touting as part of his
legacy. And the rest of the settlement will be split among the plaintiffs. And this deal is a big one,
it wraps up all three lawsuits that
Trump filed against social media
after his 2021 ban.
Now, Meta, they already paid
$25 million. X,
formerly known as Twitter, they paid $10 million.
And now YouTube, it closes
out that settlement with Big Tech
and they're now paying that $24.5
million. Yeah, there's not a platform
safe. YouTube, MetaX, if Trump
wants to tap your jaw and, you know, put his
hand in your cookie jaw, you know, most people
are saying, here, take my cookies. So wait a minute.
So if one of these
X or YouTube
they suspended somebody for not the right
reason you can suit them and possibly get 20
million hours. Here y'all go, because y'all stupid.
Y'all think you're the president. You're not Donald Trump,
you idiots. That's the difference.
Is that what you're saying? You're not Donald Trump, you idiots.
I'm talking to Mimi. Is that what you're saying?
If they suspended my account, that's not what I'm saying.
You regular, everyday
semagular people ain't going to be able to do
that. At the president of the United States of America
is a different level of power and people
are, you know, bending the need to them. It's really
just that simple. And it goes about
to what you've been saying. He's coming back after
everyone, right? Charlemagne. This is his
revenge. We're seeing it with
the news stations, right? With him coming
after all the stations, you know,
paramount, everybody. So
YouTube is just another
in the long list of
people he's, or companies he's going after
that he feels wronged him
back in days when he was
running for president. Yeah, Trump put it on his list.
Oh, y'all suspended my account? I remember
that. Run me my coins.
Hey, you suspended my account? I remember that. I remember that.
rummy my coins. Meta you two? I remember
that, rummy my coins. It's a hit list.
Yeah, that's what we're seeing.
God, I didn't see nobody spend the block like
this since Nelly and Ashanti.
Hey.
Hey, yeah.
It's real. It's definitely
happening, and we're watching it play out in real time.
And this is not something that we've ever seen before.
So it's very interesting to keep watching.
All right, well, coming up at 7, a major
shift in how federal payments may
be delivered. We'll talk about that in the next hour.
All right. Everybody else does make you think,
though. It's like, yo, who came back
better. Was it Trump?
Was it the dude
Cain beat up in Minister's Society when they
came back and shot up the block?
Was it
Boys in the Hood when they came back
and shot Ricky? No, Trump.
Got to be Trump. Trump got 50.
Danny was Ricky, but Trump got 50.
Yeah, no, Trump came back.
Damn, all right. Well, get it off here, Chess.
800-585105.1. If you need to vent,
phone lines are wide open. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Nah, these two girls, you know,

and I got to hold my breath through a car ride
nah
nothing worse than a stink woman man
I'm gonna be honest with you
men are allowed to you know have an odor
even though I don't like it
but man when a woman musty
oh yeah it's different
but you know what
it does from too
but you can't leave no reviews
for the writers
they leave reviews for y'all
you can't review a driver
some of these cars think too though
like sometimes you get an open
to smell too though

Now, and the crazy thing is they tried to have a conversation with me, you know, and I played it off like, oh, how long you've been going your dread?
Like, a couple of years, a couple years.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, not trying to really have a real conversation, you know what I'm saying?
You got to keep a podcast on deck, a podcast about bacterial vaginosis, a podcast about, you know, a podcast about, you know, being musty and just be playing it.
You know what I'm saying?
Just like playing loud and hope that they get the hint.
Oh, God.

It was a room full of people
in here, and I go,
it smelled like outside.
Somebody smelled like outside.
Everybody started sniffing.
Mind you,
nobody was outside.
Nobody.
You do that on breakfast.
I'm like, oh, gosh.
I was scared to look around like,
damn.
Hello.
Hello, who's this?
This is Miss Chastity 85.
Hey, Miss Chastity 85.
Get it off your chest.
So I'm calling in today.
I celebrated my 40th birthday last week.
Happy birthday.
Welcome to the 40 40 Club.
Hey.
Thank you.
After posting a real on Instagram,
I got over a thousand comments,
disgusting comments from black men and women,
as I am a black transgender female.
And for me,
if they're worried about what's between my legs
instead of worried about the systemic oppression
that's placed upon all black people,
we are doomed as a people.
So I need our people to do more, be educated,
and stop trying to figure out what's between other people's legs
that does not benefit in you.
That's right.
Worry about the balls and chains that America has on us,
not the balls between your legs.
That's right.
Allegedly.
Don't let them take that energy.
Allegedly.
And, Charlemagne, I am a post-stop trans woman,
so ain't no balls here, baby.
Hey, hey, congratulations.
You have committed.
So you can't say that either, though, Charlemagne,
because everybody can't afford that.
That is true.
The luxury is not afforded to everybody.
Insurance don't cover it in every state
like it does in Massachusetts where I'm at.
So it's not fair to say that people
can't afford it. How much does it cause? But you are committed
though. I respect the fact that you've committed.
How much does it cost the surgery usually?
It depends, but I'll speak for myself.
My surgery was $80,000.
So I do have a BMW between my leg.
You got a what?
A BMW. I'm driving a BMW.
That's how much it costs.
Oh, BMW between the leg. That's impressive a BMW.
Well, enjoy your birthday.
Hey, that is some black bin's wish, though.
What?
I know them guys be in your DMs.
What?
And it would be the same.
ones that be hating them in public are my comments as well.
Well, salute to you, man.
I respect everybody's right to exist.
I ain't got no problem with what you got going on.
Yeah, don't let them take your shine.
Enjoy your birthday.
That's your birthday.
You're 40, enjoy it, have a good time, and F the haters.
Yeah, but you ain't got no candle to blow out no more, though.
Charlemagne, you go.
They did post you under my post, too, with a meme of you looking sassy, so you should be easy now.
I am sassy.
He's very sassy, mama.
See, I got no problem.
I'm being sassy.
Well, you have a good one.
Your name is Chacity, 85, you said?
Miss Chastity, 85, yes.
All right, Ms. Chastity.
You have a great day.
Thank you, you too.
Bye, Jeff.
Bye, baby.
Yeah, Jess.
Why you so quiet all of them?
Miles, John.
Jess, why you so quiet?
Yes.
Leave a little, Jess.
Get on your check.
And, hey, Jess, 800-5-105-1.
I'm happy for.
I'm happy for.
All right.
All right, we got the lady
Chulner coming up.
Yeah, we do.
The girls is online arguing.
They're talking.
Nicky Minaj,
Cardi B,
going at it.
Where did this come from?
It was about album sales
and then it went to BV
and some whole other things.
BV.
We got the album.
The album, this girl album
got everybody made.
Yes.
Period.
That's what it's supposed to do.
We're going to talk about all the tweets
and all the things.
Oh, my gosh.
All right.
We'll get to that next is the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Well, I'm becoming a straight fast.
I'm going to go to
the resources.
She gets them to
somebody in a
She gets to detail.
I'm the home girl
that knows a little bit
about everything
and she'll be having
the latest on this.
The latest with Lauren
La Rosa.
Sometimes you have facts,
sometimes you have
details,
sometimes she have a little bit
everything.
Well, it's the latest.
On the breakfast club.
Talk to me.
So Cardi B
and Nikki Minaj are back again
for another round
of who is the better
female rapper?
They're going at it on X.
How?
How are they anybody rapping?
I think going back and football
about who the best female rapping
ain't anybody rapping
Nikki Minaj has an album
coming out in March
and Cardi B just dropped the album
so let's talk about it
so okay
Cardi B's album
there were reports
that a lot of people were reposting
and congratulating Cardi
on that Cardi had sold
200,000 units the first week
after she entered the Billboard 200 chart
and she claimed
the number one position there
so yesterday
very respectable number by the way
dropping a clue's bond for water
very much
so with that stat
this would make Cardi the first female
rapper in history to see her first two albums
debut at number one because she did it
with Invasion of Privacy and then, you know,
seven years later now she's doing it again.
Now, Nikki Minaj
comes to Twitter because that
stat she was not impressed by.
Not even was she not impressed. She's implying
in her tweets that Cardi B's numbers are inflated.
So Nikki Minaj tweets to every
enabler, never provoke
a writer while they're, and she
has like the pencil writing emoji,
you join the game as a willing participant
Don't try to back out now.
March 27, 2026, which is when her project is coming out.
She hashtags rock bottom nation, rock inflation,
RICO Nation, you fail.
Let the reindeer games begin.
We hashtag win again.
So then there were tweets from Cardi.
That said.
Oh, the goddamn riddles.
You must have missed me, huh?
Crazy question mark.
Now kiss my feet.
Nothing more annoying than a board be.
So Nikki Minaj had reposted to her Insta story,
a Twitter account that said
Despite false reports
Nikki Minaj is the only female rapper
To have an album across 200K units
The first week
In this decade
Ooh
Yes
So basically that 200K first week set
That we just talked about
Nikki Minaj is saying that
She's the only person that did it
Because she doesn't believe
that Cardi's numbers are what they are
God bless her
But it don't matter what she believed
The numbers are the numbers
Cardi sold $205,000.
Like, what's the issue here?
Then the tweets continue to go.
So, you know, Nick, so at some point, Nicky Minhaj is tweeting ABCD F, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, To Look Like Me, Tell The Rat and Tell J-Z, Rico Fraud and Perjury.
Now, the reason why, the reason, this is, I mean, we already knew what she was talking about, but this right here, she's talking about one of Cardi B songs that she has on her album, where she, um, raps just like that.
It's called Magnet.
take a listen to the Nicky Minaj disc on magnet.
How is that a Nicki Minaj?
Where did y'all?
Where did y'all get that from?
Who told you all that for Nicki Minajee?
So from what fans grabbed from it was the whole shout out to the women wearing their pants in their relationships
because people poke at Nicki Minaj in her relationship.
But also there was a-I thought Claudia was talking about herself.
She was and then she also mentions Kamala.
But listen, on the Young Thug project that just dropped,
Cardi B is on a song there and her feature there.
it's also something that fans believe she's going at Nikki Minaj
and let's take a listen. And again
again she's implying that
Nikki Minaj carries her full relationship
well listen all of the music is here
and they're going back and forth directly online so
I'm just telling you what it is going to be what is going to have. This is when people
gas things up because this is what they want
to see y'all want it to be Nikki Minaj. I'm not
saying it's not I'm just saying
this is this is gas because that could be towards
anybody. But Cardi CD, EFG one
I hear for that one and then the second one
what they're saying she got beat on? Did Nikki get beat on and we don't
We don't know. I don't know that.
We didn't hear anything about that.
That's not just making it about Nikki.
Exactly. That's not obvious that she's talking about her. That's not obvious.
Well, Cardi tweeted in the midst of all of the ABCD, EFG surgery and said,
damn, she was streaming magnet hard as hell, huh? And then she responded,
ABCD, EFG, your men have to snatch the P word.
P word tastes like honeycomb, your broby touching 12-year-olds.
She also called Nikki Minaj, McCorme, cocaine, Barbie.
She also tweeted to Nikki Minaj, why you can't.
why you keep bringing up my album it's not like the it's not the gag that you think it is you've been in a game like 16 years you need to compare yourself to your peers you started that started around your time riana taylor swift drake those are the numbers you need to be competing with and you can't because you're doing lower than all of them i was in high school when you came out what are you comparing yourself to me for um then nicky minage that's a good point though i mean i mean Nikki pinnish should be those people that she named not the parties of the world even though it's female rap but cardy b is the
biggest female rapper right now, so why wouldn't, Nikki?
But Nikki should be the biggest.
Like, Nikki should be the icon.
Like, Nikki should be sitting on the throne and
like, she should be on an island by herself.
Right, like, Hove wouldn't be going at, let's
say, a future. Or Hope wouldn't be going to be a little baby.
Or Kendrick. Or a Kendrick or a Drake.
Like, they're totally two different classes.
I agree with what y'all are saying, but this has been happening
for years. Oh, that's giving Drake a bar, though.
You did? Yeah.
It wasn't there like a thing with Jay Z in future at one point?
But they did their records with each other. Wasn't there? Wasn't there?
I don't know what you're talking.
Nobody knows you're talking about.
I never heard.
Oh, no, it was the conversation about do you play Jay-Z or Future in the club.
And Jay-Z is not as relevant as future because people said they don't play Jay-Z in the club.
What's that got to do with Jay-Z?
I mix it up.
But anyway, let me get back to Cardi and Nikki Minaj.
Now, I get what y'all are saying, but I do feel like if Nikki here and she's going to play,
she got to shoot where it's big at, and that's where Cardi B is.
Cardi B is the biggest.
So she then also tweeted out some photos.
She's now calling Cardi B. Barney B.
and Barney B has been trending since she said it
She put Barney B's face on
Barney B, Cardi's face on Barney
She also put
Rock Nation JZ with
Pink wig and the crying emoji
And the reason why she keeps putting
Jay Z and Cardi B together
Because when Cardi dropped imaginary players
Or mentioned before it even came out
That she was going to drop it
This was in the midst of Nikki Minaj
Don't all the Blame Rock Nation
Blank Nation and people felt like
Cardi getting the okay
To do imaginary players was
JZ choosing sides
with Cardi B because of the obvious B.
You know what's so crazy about this?
None of those people that can put all those things together
can do basic math.
No. Yeah, I'm not amazing math.
When your kids come to y'all
with your math homework, y'all be confused as hell
but y'all can add up all of this foolishness.
You know what I say? Get in the booth, man.
I don't want to see no tweets, no hashtag, no memes.
I want to see raps.
Before I tell you what, Bonnie better
be who Cardi is for Halloween because that's
actually really great.
actually this is great this is playing some more of the rollout for the album this is great
actually but this is the thing everything that we talk about we want artists to do she did right
carty did an album right carty put all her feelings in an album right she put her feelings
about her relationships she put her feelings about these other female artists into her
album right that's what we want it yeah and these are other artists that are going at us
should do the same right we want to hear records right nicki nicki is the rapper that's much you know how long
march is maybe we might get some before that she said don't nicky is the rapper while she's writing
I want to see raps right now.
I don't want to see no tweets, no hashtags, no memes.
I want to see raps, especially from Nikki, because Nikki is the rapper,
and Nikki is not funnier than Cardi on social media at all.
So get in the booth.
Before we move on from the tweets, though, I got to get this one in,
because Nikki tweeted, raw dog and pregnant with the fourth baby,
Barney B, BV, HPV, allegedly, and there's a photo of someone looking at their butt in the mirror.
And Cardi responded to that and said that this is Nicky Minaj.
This was the third tweet about Nikki Minaj bringing up her pregnant.
to see what like wasn't you going to fertility
doctors because you couldn't reproduce from all of them
perks scrambling your eggs
allegedly. And
Cardi said not allegedly, Lord Protect My Baby
so they were really getting into the things yesterday
and I know I saw JT trying to insert herself
as well but they didn't even give her
JT getting the booth
Nikki getting the booth
Cardi getting the booth it's kind of inevitable right
like when it comes to the guys the two
top dogs always clash
right so why should it be any different for the ladies
because time for if
If Cardi and Nikki need to get in the book.
I don't mind the clash, but...
All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie.
For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved,
until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story.
I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her.
A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen investigator on national TV.
Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran.
My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find.
I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn, or any of that other stuff.
stuff that y'all said it. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on
her. They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about
just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame. America, y'all better work
the hell up. Bad things happens to good people in small towns. Listen to Graves County. Listen to Graves County.

a 23-year-old man had killed his family.
And then he came to my house.

We got ex-paddy.
All right.
Well, when we come back,
we got front-page news,
and then Chris Gotti,
Irv Gotti's brother,
one of the founders of Murder Inc.
We'll be joining us
as the Breakfast Club.
You're checking out the Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ NV.
Jess Hilarious.
Charlamaine de Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front-page news.
Start up with some sports.
And Monday night football.
The Dolphists beat the Jets 21, 27.
And the Broncos beat the Bengals
28 to 3.
What's that me?
He's sending positive energy to Tyreek Hill, too, man.
He got hurt last night.
Dislocated his knee, they said.
Oh, that's good.
They said it looked bad.
I thought it was worse.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What?
I thought it was worse.
I didn't know.
Oh, no, that's what the initial reports are saying.
All right.
Good morning, y'all.
How you're doing this morning?
Good.
Good.
Okay, so we start this hour with a rare and unusual gathering at the nation's top military leaders.
Now, all this is happening as the government faces a possible government shutdown.
Now, President Trump and Defense Secretary, Pete Hethetheth, who now goes
by the title Secretary of War are set to speak today at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia.
Hundreds of generals and admirals were told with just a few days notice to fly in from
around the world for this last minute event. Now, Heg-Seth is supposed to open with a speech
about what he calls warrior ethos. That's basically the mindset and discipline that keeps
combat units sharp and lethal. He's also expected to emphasize tougher combat standards and
even grooming rules, like troops being required to stay clean-shaven.
Then President Trump will follow with his own remarks, a moment that will reportedly be
live-streamed nationwide for the public to watch.
Now, here's where the timing is striking, as we talked about last hour.
This all comes as Congress is racing toward a midnight deadline to avoid a government
shutdown.
So, NB, I know we spoke about what this means for everyday people, but if you are a military
personnel, lawmakers say that if you don't reach a deal, 2 million you will.
as service workers could be forced to keep working without pay.
The Pentagon's contingency plan says troops will still be on duty.
Contractors would still keep building ships and missile systems,
but operations at the border and overseas,
those will also keep moving forward,
but paychecks will stop until Washington reaches a deal.
And while today's speeches may be framed as a morale boost
or rallying the troops moment,
experts say it's happening against a real backdrop of real uncertainty,
certainty. So if the government does shut down many of these military
personnel, they will head back home to their bases and commands
with no money to flow again. And a lot of experts are asking if this
meeting could have been an email, a conference call. Many
believe that it's going to be a photo op. So we'll see what happens
as all these military leaders gathered this morning in Quantico.
Yeah, I've been thinking about this meeting. Like, you know, what is it
about, you know, when you think about how they've been sending the
national guard into these cities, like,
What are they planning?
Like, what if they're having a conversation about what the military is willing to do?
Because, you know, authoritarian regimes, you know, usually have some type of military under their control.
Like, you know, what, I don't know.
This is just, it's just strange.
Like, why?
And they said that, too.
It could be a pledge of loyalty.
You know, we don't know exactly yet what the details are.
But hopefully today, after they have this meeting, we'll find out more about that, too, Charlemagne.
And now turning to the economy, the Trump administration,
is rolling out a new wave of tariffs, adding fresh import taxes on everything from the drugs
in your medicine cabinet to the cabinets in your kitchen. So beginning tomorrow, here's what's
going to take effect. There will be a 100% tariff on pharmaceutical drugs made overseas,
a 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, a 30% tariff on upholstered furniture,
and a 25% tariff on heavy-duty trucks. Now, most of us aren't driving big risk.
but those trucks do haul your grocery, your clothes, your packages.
And so if those costs go up, so do your price at the store.
And the biggest hit could be on medicine.
The U.S. imports about $230 billion worth of drugs last year.
And 100% tariff could mean reduce access and higher insurance costs
and home projects would fill it to.
A 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets and vanities means your remodeling prices will get higher.
and 30% on those upholstered furniture
that's all mostly made in China
means higher prices if you need to buy furniture at the store
It's the bottom line, whether it's medicine, meals, a makeover,
these tariffs are going to hit hard
And just yesterday, Trump added Hollywood to that list
threatening a 100% tariff on movies made outside the U.S.
Now, experts say that will be really tough to enforce
but it shows just how wide this tariff net is spreading.
Yeah, a lot of people
going to get thoughts and prayers for the holidays, man.
Like, you know, folks won't have to remember the reason for the season this year.
Right.
Okay.
No, no, you're absolutely right.
I mean, with the amount of hikes, like you said, everything from furniture to groceries
to food, like you said, a lot of people are just going to get some.
You're going to have to remember the reason for the season.
That's right.
Okay.
A lot of people are going to be exercising their faith this year.
Now all of a sudden you want to celebrate Jesus' birthday, huh?
Now you want to celebrate Kwanza.
It ain't about the gifts this year, huh?
Okay.
That's it, y'all.

Everybody else, when we come back, Chris Gotti will be joining us.

Wow.

Of course, that's Irv Gotti's brother.
He's one of the founders of Murder, Inc.,
and we're going to talk to him when we come back.
All right, it's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.

Thank you, man.
Thank you, brother.
How you doing, brother?
How's everything, man?
I'm blessed, you know.
Just taking it.
One day at a time from everything, you know, but everything's going great.
Got a lot of positive stuff happening, and that's why I'm here.
All right.
If you don't mind, I want to go back a little bit for people that don't know who Chris Gotti is.
Of course, Irv Gotti's brother.
Yes.
Irv Gotti's big brother.
Yes.
For Queens, New York, Highless.
And you guys been in the industry for a while, and you guys, both of y'all, founded Murder, Inc.
Yeah, yeah.
Most people only hear Irv when thinking about Murder, Inc.
But you are kind of the silent guy behind everything.
So talk about how murder ink or the ink was founded.
It's murder ink.
We hated that we had to change that name.
That was Russell Simmons and Lee, all that.
And it came to us and Ben Chavis and said,
put murder to bed because we was down with the feds and everything.
Murder Inc was founded because Irv wanted to be the biggest producer in the world.
I helped make him that.
They thought Irv came up with like, I'm going to start a record label.
He didn't start a label.
He just wanted to be the biggest producer in the game.
And that's what happened.
And because that happened, Tom Mottola, Dave McPherson, over his Sony, said, we want to give you a record deal.
They told us they wanted to buy four beats.
At the time, we're selling beats for $250,000 of tracks.
So that's a million dollars.
I'm like, let's go get that.
We met up at Justin's, the restaurant, you know, Diddy's restaurant.
We talk, and he's like, Tommy wants to give you a deal.
Not, he doesn't want to buy beats.
And to our surprise, he pulls a contract out and looks at it or looked at it and he threw it right back at him.
are you serious sent to our lawyer.
So that's really the bird for murder ink.
And we didn't have a name.
We just came up with a bunch of things.
DJ Clues doing the mixtape.
J.I.'s doing the feature.
And inside of that feature, we had a bunch of names we had thought of, like,
lockdown records.
He says it in his verses on the features on the, on the mixtape.
And that's kind of where we was at.
And then Erd was watching Arts and Entertainment one day.
It's Gangster Week, and he sees Murder Inc. on the screen.
and it's the Notorious Murder Inc, which was the Italian guys
that was actually making hits.
Yeah, that was doing hits on people in Brooklyn.
Yeah.
It's Luckily Chiano, Alfred Anastasia, and those guys.
And the narrator of that show was like the Notorious Murder Inc,
and they made hits.
Irving went crazy.
He went crazy.
He called everybody.
I got the name.
But that's why when you ask that question, how did you start?
And if the co-founders, that's the co-founder.
I helped make all the music with them
with all the producers
and I just took care of the business
and I took care of my little brother
And Jaya was always the first artist
of Murtake. Another misconception
Jaya was already signed
a murder death jam
So his first album, Venevedevici
It's on Dev Jam
We just get the deal
But he already signed his deal
Oh wow wow wow wow
Yeah people don't know that
So we had to go basically back to Leor
and say that's our artists
And then we had to pay for it
To get him back to Murder Inc
How much did you have to pay?
A couple of men
damn yeah look we had to pay for Ashanti she was signed the AJM records which is a shout
on Mario Baiza Mario's like an uncle and he has a shot he wanted us to do records for
Ashanti on his label he had a little independent label and Ashanti he was there with him
and Irv didn't really think about doing anything er would hit me with the the tunnel vision
like stay focused yo we get money with John Roald I'm like yo she could write she's
dope.
And what broke that ice was
Fat Joe. He called me up because he's doing a big pun
and he says, I need that pun.
I need an artist to
an R&B artist on the hook.
I said, I got one.
He said, you do? I was like, yeah.
I called her up. She drove right to the studio
pinned it. Joe's like, yo, she's dope.
I said, I tell Irv.
And I said, I went down.
And he told Irv and Erv said,
what artist? And he called me up
right after Erv's like what artist you're talking about
like my R&B artist and it was Ashanti
he was like what artist and Irv called me right after that
he said bring her to bring her back up and that's really
how we got Ashanti but
Irv was my little brother I raised him he listened
to me up to a certain point
after that point I had to get
someone else to so I would send
messages through all types of people
to tell him do something
to get it done and that's what Joe did
for me. I do want to ask you talk about
he doesn't listen when
got to his later life they said he was having health problems yeah they said nobody could talk
to irv about eating him constantly they said he wouldn't change his diet he wouldn't change his thing
and he said nobody could get through to him why do you think that that was for her
partially because my pops was hard-headed he got it for my dad so um same exact thing going through
diabetes health problems and my dad was like you can't tell me god didn't make this orange and
I can't eat it you can't you know this was really our problem
And then it's the ignorance of just health.
Erd was the same.
He would be like, there's no way you could tell me I can't eat this food.
It's good.
And he would tell you it's healthy and it was trash.
You know, and it was just hard-headed.
Now, when he had his first stroke, he had two strokes.
The first stroke, basically, he was, man, I didn't think he was going to be here after that one.
I went to the hospital.
As soon as I heard, I flew right to L.A.
Shout out, BJ.
BJ found him.
You know, BJ called us
Took him up, got him to the hospital
When he came around
He was like, I don't want to go to the hospital
Don't take me to the hospital
I'm going to take my meds now
And BJ was like, no, he said
So stand up and he couldn't
He stood up and fell back down
And he said, no, you're going to the hospital
Took him to the hospital
I didn't know where he's going to get past that one
When I flew out there
He was there for
I was there for a month and a half
In the hospital staying with him
When he took about two weeks
Before he actually came back
And was conscious
With those first two weeks, I don't think he was going to make it.
I always credit it.
I said, BJ gave us another year, basically before the next one, you know, so.
But somebody told me there was a sense of acceptance that he had.
He would say, he would say things like, I'm going to see Poppy, I'm going to be a Poppy.
Yeah, yeah.
He wrote, if you've seen his Graham, and I would always, when I seen it, I'll call him.
Like, stop talking like that.
I don't believe in calling on for death like that, unless you really have a deaf wish.
I was like, you'll stop talking.
You'll see him when it's your time.
I used to say Irv used to feel like he's God probably at one point
when we was at the height of murdering
he probably felt like he was the alpha and omega at one point
and you think he knew when he sold part of his catalog
right? No he sold it all well he earned on 50% of the masses
we had a 50 50% he sold it it it was a 300 million dollar deal
100 in cash 200 for movies and TV products
projects you think he knew at that time to set his kids up to be like if something
does happen every kid to have that
do you think that was the mentality
Irv is a hundred percent
family so yeah
that's definitely part of it
and it's also part of health
you know just want to make sure
like you said things is there for somebody
no matter what because Irv accepted death he always
he would always accept death if that
was the consequence whatever it is we both do
like I don't ever look at the consequence
of whatever it is right
the preciousness of life
think about that like we're here for such a short amount of time but we never thought or thought
about anything like herbs no different i like and that's why when he got sick and he would tell me like
this is what it is this is what it is but he didn't try to prevent it and no one talks mortality
especially when you're young but it's it's coming and we don't know when that's the reality
too we don't have a no one knows that expiration day how did you navigate where irv have
problems with all of your friends
like one time Irv was not
messed with Hove then it was Fat Joe
then it was DMX
then it was Nas like how did you navigate
that part of it? Family's fight
Irv made a ton of mistakes
if he was here or not
I'm going to always speak the reality
of what it was. Irv made
a lot of mistakes. For instance
with Jay-Z, Nas
they beefing. Irv made super
ugly. You know he produced that
record. To go
after that and talk to Jay-Z
and say, yo, I'm going to sign
Nas. What you think?
Was you for that combo? Of course.
We're in Baseline Studios. What did Holmes say?
Before Irv spoke, I said,
I'll give you the PG version,
but I told him whatever you want to do, I'm with you.
And then Irv's like,
yo, it's good business. And he's
telling him, it's like, yo, are you crazy?
You can't tell your man. You want
to work with his enemy like that.
And Irv's like, no, it's just on.
Jay was like, you know, he was asking him, does he have real beef with him?
He said, nah, it's just like music.
But Jay's keeping it cordial, like to see where Irv is going with it.
Or Jay plays chess.
He's not playing, like, he wants to see what you're going to say.
And Irv, as soon as Jay said, it's not beef like that, he turned to me.
He said, I told you, I told you.
And Jay looking at me like, yo, is he serious?
And I was like, wow, he's crazy.
And now I was never signed with Murder Anger Fisher.
No.
Steve Stout, ooh, Steve Stout, shout out Steve, man.
But the commission is, he's, he's, in that day, he was a real hands-on guy.
He's the one that brought the deal to us.
And Erd was like, you serious?
We could get Nause?
Like, we didn't think we could get that.
And he was like, yeah, we made the record, the pledge.
Yep.
Nage pledging allegiance to murdering.
Think about that.
He's on the record, pledging allegiance to murdering.
and then Stout
seeing the future
in my opinion
and again to his credit
again I'm not knocking Stout
this dude is brilliant
in the book of hip hop
he has to be one of the most iconic
people in that book
the end of the day
he's seen the future
what's the future
come on merger ring
we're murdering
what's the future
it's 50 cent
he's saying it he knew it
he knew it
he knew it
Jai had a sneaker deal
with Steve Reebok
we're on a private plane flying
they're designing everything in the, you know, in the plane.
And then he's seen the future and pulled everything.
And switched it.
Now, gee, you only got his sneaker deal.
Jay-Z got his sneaker deal.
You understand?
With Reebok.
And again, he knew he, he's seen something and understood and made the pivot.
As a businessman, I respect it.
So, question.
Why did, why was Jay?
As a friend, it's a little questionable.
I get that.
That's what I'm saying.
Why was Jay upset with Irv, but not Steve?
And Steve presented the deal.
Well, Steve was a little.
also remember Steve was also part of a lot of
that's why Damon always has her beef with
Steve is because of that
Steve was funneling
a lot of deals with Jay and then seeing
Jay getting pulled that way instead of going
through Damon and dealing with the you know
that side of it I understand that
Damon would have took a bullet for Jay you're kidding
in that day you're kidding me
it's not even close
it's not it's
that's what makes me mad
with that situation I was going to say how do you feel about the situation
I spoke to Jay about that before
one time I told me I
just left alone after that.
How do you feel
when you see it play out
because you see how close
they were.
You were on tours.
You were in studios.
There's a lot of stuff
that's personal again
inside of a family
that we wouldn't know
that I don't know.
That's,
I'll leave it there
and then you've got to let
families be what they are
because of what it is.
I respect both of them
to the highest level,
you know?
At the end of the day,
I leave it alone.
Didn't Jay get back?
Didn't,
I think I heard you tell the story
about how
when Jay used
Irv's same line again?
Oh yeah.
Oh, yeah.
The same lie, because Irv was like when Jay told him that it wasn't really more,
it wasn't like physical beef, it was more lyrical, and Irv went crazy.
Like, I told you, but Jay's looking, and I'm like, you're my man, you can't be, like,
serious, like, but left it alone.
Chess, he's playing chess.
And then right after that, Jay went and did a tour with 50 cent.
They got the G-unit, a sneaker.
He has his, remember, he had his, like, Gucci.
Yeah, that's not a carter collection, yeah.
And they went out on the tour.
and then Irv
sat there and he's like, yeah, I just went out
and he said, yeah, it was good business.
Because Irv told Jay, it would be good business
to do this. This is going to be good business.
I might not.
But what he's not realizing, and Irv knew it after the fact.
You know, hindsight is 2020.
He realized that was one of his biggest mistakes with Jay.
It took a lot to fix that.
But they finally did fix it.
Oh, yeah, we had multiple conversations.
But, you know, it wasn't never the same.
What's that record?
And Jay said,
It's got to consult Irv got it, y'all.
Hey, it's got to roll.
That's the fact.
Jay took that off every forward record.
Think about how serious that is that he said,
no, I don't want to hear that no more.
You can't get that unless you have the old original.
It's bleated out.
It's bleaked out.
It is.
I didn't know that.
It's called remastering, baby.
It's got to roll.
I don't know that.
Yeah, gone.
Does not exist.
Go get that record and see if you could hear it.
Go to Apple Music and see if you hear it.
I'm bad with titles.
As much as I'm terrible with titles and names and stuff,
I don't remember the title I break.
It's on streets is watching.
Yeah, the streets are watching, but it's only a customer.
It's on a customer.
Jay used to sit in my office literally to wait to talk to Irv.
That's how deep that was.
And Irv, when he come in, they go into it.
But Erd would help him with all types of business, ideas, thoughts, everything.
He respected Irv's brain.
I'll leave it there.
The Fat Joe thing y'all can never...
I'm sorry, the Fat Joe thing y'all could...
Because Fat Joe and Irv was like...
We fixed that.
Yeah, I fixed that.
With Joe and Irv.
Again, never the same.
He was at my man, J.R.'s funeral.
And, you know, I told Joe, again, I'm my brother's keeper.
I told Joe, you messed up, bro.
And I went at Joe and told him, and he's like...
He understood.
We was at Say Less, actually.
And I was having a meeting with my niece.
Saint from Interscope
Records and I didn't want to go and deal
with this right now
and my other dude Big Joe kept coming and say
Yo, that Joe's over, come on, come on.
I said, I don't want to talk right now.
He forced me to talk so I said,
all right, let me go tell you. And when I went to back there,
he's with Rich, of course, shout Rich and Joe.
And I told him, I said, you can't shout
out my brother's a sucker
and then whisper, I'm sorry.
That's a sucker move.
And I told him that.
You know, I asked them all kind of crazy questions
because that's just me.
I was like, was you messing with Ashanti?
Is that your girl?
You found her because of us.
What are you doing interfering?
They had a relationship.
What are you doing?
I said, and listen to, I promise you, go listen to anything.
All Irv did was yell how much he loved her in the way he's talking about everything.
You could tell as a man, he loved that woman.
He was heartbroken.
But I said, how do you tell me you love this girl?
And you're out with everybody else.
That don't make no sense.
He kept getting caught.
with other way like yo what are you doing
bro but that's her
that is erv he wanted his cake and eat it too
and that's the reality of that whole
thing but it's crazy like every time
I say it just listen everyone talks all crazy
just listen to what he's saying
listen to the words don't just hear
he's speaking loud with Lorenzo's
we speak loud but at the end
of the day you listen to what he's really saying
and Irv is not a liar
he is telling you the truth about her
about him I was their counsel
meaning when they would fight,
I'm over the four seasons with Irv
and I'm at the Ritz Carlton with Ashanti
talking about what did he say?
What did she say?
Trying to keep him cool.
I never took Irv's side while Irv was here.
Never.
So all I said is I'm not going to lie.
Now I'm not going to talk about nothing,
but I'm not going to lie either.
Like, you can't ask me to do that.
He's not here no more.
He can't even say, if I hear something wrong,
I will correct.
But that's it.
That's just for respect for my brother.
But I never, Erf hated that I never took his side with him.
Hated it.
Like, that was something I had to deal with him.
And I'm like, yo, that's your relationship.
You know, that's your business.
This is over here.
He was like, she didn't come to the trial.
I said, she was at the tribe.
Yeah, because Darcel called her.
I said, I called her.
I called it and said, you should be there.
And she showed up.
What more do you want?
That's the fact.
Have you and Ashanti been able to talk since everything?
Because I saw that you were upset.
with her when she sat down with Angie Martinez and she said that.
I was upset because we haven't spoke in person after Irv's passing.
Imagine that.
And I promise you, I'm the reason she was murdering.
Irv made the records.
But Irv would have never got to that point if I don't do what I did.
I used to fly up to Jersey giving her music to make record after record.
If I don't put it on the point, it never happens.
And I did that.
She knows it for her not to call me after Earth's,
passing she texts me that that don't feel right her mother Tina that don't feel right you
understand like I did everything for them never did I did one thing in return I'm not gonna sit
here and sugarcoat nothing and that's why I felt the way and then when I see I'm like no that's not
cool you know there's so much details of the murdering history that we don't know or the public
doesn't know Ashanti we we didn't have her signed and we put
Foolish out.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Number one record in the country, and she's not signed.
You know how much it costs us to get her from that little A.J.M.
Records, $5 million out of our pipe.
Five, because we got a hit record.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We got a hit record on her.
So now he's, the numbers up.
$5 million.
What made you all put the record out before she was?
Irv.
Herve moves with his heart.
Leo said, I'm not going to pay for nothing.
Irv's like, we're going.
It's timing
You know
Success is number one reason for success is timing
She knows we had to pay that money
But look, Irv said loyalty
He figured
That's what it hurt him
See this is the part that hurt him
He's thinking she's gonna be loyal with me
On just business things and stuff
And again then it turned into relationship to
Because in that moment
He wasn't messing with her yet
He just seen a talented young girl
And that's it
I did want to ask you about the funeral
because his hold came to the funeral.
Yes.
Didn't, I thought Ashanti didn't you came to the funeral too?
She did not.
She sent some flowers.
Okay.
What about Joe?
Said Joe?
Did not?
His father, I'm, um, his father passed at the same time.
Okay, got you, got you.
Joe came late.
Actually, Joe was there late.
Got you, got you.
He left his fathers and got to us late.
I seen him after, at the end when it was almost over.
He did get there.
Sorry, Joe.
Yeah, he wasn't in the beginning, though.
Got you.
Yeah.
I was going to ask you, he mentioned.
He mentioned the flowers, and I know she,
Shanty, I posted a statement online.
Did that, I know you said that you want to talk in person,
but, like, did that provide any sort of comfort for you guys in that moment,
just having things show up there from her?
I don't know how to answer that, really.
It's like, I mean, I got sick over Earth, man.
I got sick physically after he, literally in the hospital.
Like, and they, what is it?
It's stress.
What's the stress?
It's my brother.
he's here right now like but i got through it i have to like i said so when you say that with the
the flowers it's a good gesture it's a good gesture i won't go further than i don't want to
be disrespectful to her because she probably thinks it's good but she should know better that
she had to talk to me physically actually she should come see me physically i i love ashanti
you know what i'm saying that's little that's like little sis for real for real we took care of her
in every sense of imagination.
She confessed me one day afterwards.
And she thanked me for everything we did for her,
because now she's out there by herself.
And she's getting all type of indecent proposals.
Let's leave it to that, right?
Because that's what this industry is.
Let's not make any sugar-coating about it.
It's an attractive young lady.
She wants to make music.
What could you do with this?
You want that beat?
Okay, let's go over here.
And she told me, she told me.
And she was like, thank you.
She thanked me for always taking care of it.
On Versus, you know, and she's with Nellie, shout out Nellie.
I have no problem with these, nothing.
I fuck with Nellie.
But on Versus, the day of verses, he pulls up.
And I said, what do you want to do?
Ask her.
Like, she come up and you ask her.
What do you want to do?
I'll roll this stuff off the stage.
She said, no, I'll give you the sign if there's a problem.
but that's the day they got back together
that's why you don't get in the middle of relationships
it's different
that's why I never got in it when her
and her were together I never did I just
tried to keep it cool with them and keep the business
move I could have swore it was reported that she went to the funeral
okay so she just sent you a time
they lied they did put a report
that she was there they lied again she probably
got a good publicist or something
she had said that she tried to
there was an olive branch or whatever that
she tried to extend or was extended but it wasn't received
well so you think that that's why she kind of she texts me and she didn't text me
if i show you the date she texts me slate you understand he's gone already so just put this in
him without me going deep he's gone and then i get a text after he's gone a couple days
she got my number she could like i would appreciate her to call i would appreciate you to visit
yeah i get what you saying i understand like i said we did a lot you know and she could say whatever
she wants about a relationship she's she
whatever but she can't lie
about her career
who can
who can sit there and say
she did something more than what
what it is like yeah she wrote the
records with him she hated every hit record
how about that
so what if we listen to her
does she become as shanti
that's the facts
baby baby she hated that
why I was too many babies
it's one of my favorite records
Irv went in the booth and so do you gotta sing like this
He said, you got to feel like you high.
You don't get high.
That's why you don't know what it is.
That's what he told her.
And he said, you got to be strung out on a man that way.
And he's so, I don't want to hear it pitch perfect.
I sound stupid, Gotti.
Sing it like that.
And she did.
See, I give credit for the listening.
A producer has to be able to produce or else you're just a beat maker.
Right?
And you're leaving it in the hands of a.
an artist and then that's the reality.
If you trust that producer, which they trusted
Irv, they was able to get through
and make those
changes. She compromised her
own belief for his,
which is to her credit.
But that's the beauty of a producer.
And that's to me, Irv is a
producer. For real, for real.
Well, thank you for joining us this morning.
Yeah, man. Great conversation, man. That's right.
I got to talk about one more thing
before we get off. I got a movie. I'm a
filmmaker now. Okay. Nice.
Ballin. I got Lance Stevenson
is my lead. Safari,
Trey Cheney.
Shout out to Trey Cheney.
Yeah, shout out to Tray Cheney.
Lance Stevenson, the basketball player?
He's the lead.
Oh, wow, wow, wow.
He's the lead. Not only is he the lead,
but he made an incredible soundtrack.
Lance Stevens is the Black Drake.
Oh, wow.
He's the Black Drake, I promise you.
He's singing and rapping on the songs,
and I couldn't believe.
I was going to just make one or two songs
for the movie.
Why not Safari, though?
Why?
What did you get Safari?
to do the soundtrack.
Again, I ask, but you got to...
All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie.
For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved,
until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story.
I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder.
We know.
A story that law enforcement used to convict six people,
and that got the citizen investigator on national TV.
Through sheer persistence and nerve,
this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran.
My name is Maggie Freeling.
I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer,
and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find.
I did not know her and I did not kill her,
or rape or burn, or any of that.
other stuff that y'all said it.
They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her.
They made me say that I poured gas on her.

What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club?
I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke,
but that really was my reality nine years ago.
I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different.
On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.
Well, 22nd of July 2015,
a 23-year-old man had killed his family.
And then he came to my house.

I got a partner that's Cuban.
Yeah, I got a partner that's Cuban.
And he's my partner.
He does all the Latin side for me, but I, you know, support him with everything he's doing.
You know, it's funny because on my Wikipedia,

She gets to detail.
I'm a home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
She'd be having to live.
latest on the list. The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit
everything. Oh, it's the latest. On the breakfast club.
Talk to me.
So we just got an exclusive. I just spoke to Tyrese.
Tyrese is speaking out for the first time on the Atlanta police issuing what has been
reported as a warrant over a deadly cane corso attack by dogs that he owned previously.
So for background, the story broke yesterday.
that there were four cane corsoes that were under surveillance that came back to Tyrese
after Atlanta police officers say that they bit and brutally killed another dog.
So at this time, Fulton County Police, they're reporting that Animal Services Captain
Nicole Dewar announced that Tyrese has a warrant out for his arrest for animal cruelty.
Now, what she told Atlanta media is that they received a phone call September 18th from a neighbor
that from a neighbor
who let his dog out at night only to find a dog
dead on the ground minutes later from a
clear cut animal attack. Now
according to law enforcement
Tyrese was warned multiple times
about the King Corso prowling the neighborhood
the direct quote is it is
negligence on his part as a homeowner
and to just let the dog roam free
and now they've killed an innocent
animal. The police say that
they obtained this warrant and
that they plan to search Tyrese's
home and like all these things. So Tyrese
I spoke to him and he says number one
Now when they said search the home they're not searching the home
for anything but the dogs they just want
They want to get the dogs
Yeah what usually when a dog doesn't bite
Just explain anybody when a dog bites anybody or a person
Or anything else
They take the dogs for 30 days to make sure the dog doesn't have rabies
Or there's nothing else wrong with the dogs
So it's like doggy jail
So they put the dog in the county for 30 days
Yeah they do for real
The search already happened which is why the warrant was issued
So they went to his house on September 22nd
There was a search Tyrese nor the dogs were there
Yeah so then that's where the whole
warrant conversation came from. But Tyrese
tells us exclusively that he is
not on the run. He is in L.A. with
his family and
that his attorneys are dealing
with all of this. If there was any
obligation for him to turn himself in at this
day, this time, whatever, it would have been done
already. But he says that that is not the case. That is not
what's happening. He said there was a rumor that he was
going to Dubai. He said he's not going to Dubai.
He's actually with his family. Yeah.
Well, he posted he was going to Dubai, but he
posted he always does this around this time here. This
birthday is, I think, in December. So he always
travels. Yeah, but I guess they made it
seem like he was running to the by. He said
if you follow Tyrese, he does this every year.
He always talking about how he's going to different places.
He said he's in L.A. with his family. Yeah, so he also shot
us a statement as well. And in
the statement, he's speaking directly to
the family. He's saying that
you know, his heart is broken for the
family that lost their dog and he's praying
for their healing for their beloved
over, you know, the death of their beloved pet
who never deserves this. He says that he
remains committed to facing this matter with honesty,
responsibility, and compassion.
He's, you know, he also says that since the day he learned of the tragedy, he's been actively trying to reach out to the family directly to express his sorrow and condolences.
He knows nothing can undo their loss, but he wants them to know he is truly heartbroken.
Until this incident, the statement goes on, the dogs had never harmed a child, a person, or another dog.
This is a tragic event that is shocking and traumatizing for Tyrese, his family, so he can only imagine how devastating it has to be on the family who lost their pet.
What if you call top dog law that represent you?
Oh, God, come on, plan.
Here's the thing, no, I'm not taking but so much
responsibility for my animal. Do you know
back in the day they used to put animals on trial?
No. Yes, they did. This is the fact.
Y'all should read more. When? Where?
Like in medieval times.
I used to read more. Just tell us. What happened?
Back in the medieval times, like in Europe.
They used to put the dogs and the pigs
on trial. Oh, my God. Oing-Oing.
Yes.
But what would they say, Shalmy?
I don't know what they would say?
You know what I'm saying? Like, how?
How would this even be an animal trial?
Like, what's the judge understanding?
Because they ain't like Tyrese.
Tyrese didn't go bite the dog and kill him.
Right.
That's what I was saying.
He was out of town when all this went down to.
He wasn't even there.
But he is the owner.
This is a sad thing about being a dog owner or if you own any type of animal.
It's your responsibility, right?
And as if you own dogs, you try to make sure that you protect anybody, right?
You keep your dog in the fence or you have an invisible fence or you keep the dog on the leash.
But dogs are like anything else.
They chew through the leash.
They dig under the fence.
They slide through it.
At times, there's nothing that you can do.
You try your best.
They're animals.
But the sad thing about it is if your dog hurt somebody else or hurt somebody
animal, another animal, you're responsible.
In France, there was a time in France, though.
They put a pig on trial for attacking a child, and they executed the pig.
And they put it on the trial.
And, like, who was the lawyer, Dr. Doolittle?
Do they have plans to dress up to go in the court?
No, but if a dog does more a kid or a bite somebody.
The dog goes in the court?
They usually put the dog, no, the actual owner of the dog.
has to go to court and they usually put that dog to sleep.
Do y'all think we stupid?
Animals don't go to court.
I ain't talking to y'all no more.
Y'all, y'all look at the internet to tell you later and you'll believe it.
Well, I do also too...
But it's sad because those people, you know, lost their dog, you know, which is very sad.
And Tyree says he takes full responsibility, even though he was out of town, he takes
full responsibility and accepts that responsibility for his dogs.
He says as soon as he learned what happened, he made the difficult decision to re-home his two dogs
and their three puppies to news
and safe living homes
because the liability of keeping them
was too great. He doesn't want to hurt anybody. He only got
these dogs to protect himself because he was
dealing with a stalker situation. But he didn't want
this to happen and he is deeply sorry.
Yeah, in 1921, Terrier
named Dormie was put on trial for allegedly
killing 14 cats. And that
dog's trial ended in a hung jury with 11
jurors voting to acquit and one for conviction.
Dormie walked free in the case
attracted widespread media attention. I hate
him. I'm not making the need us up. Y'all
Once again, the internet will tell you later, and you'll believe.
Dormi, but it's sad.
So I'm sure Tyrese will probably have to, you know, he will probably replace that dog
if they want a replacement.
And I'm sure they'll probably so.
Yeah.
Damn.
I never knew Tyrese had dogs.
You said what?
He's posted about it.
Yeah, I've never seen.
I didn't know Tyrese, I ain't never seen any post of everything else.
I ain't never seen a post of his game course.
So he had a mother and father and he built a kennel.
The kennel had heat and air conditioning and lights and plugs.
and all types of stuff.
He got the big doggy
apartments that Envi got.
Yeah, the big dog.
You got a transformer
when you walk in the house.
I know, that's right.
Like a big Optimus Prime.
You're a clown.
You're a clown dog.
I'm dead serious.
I know when Tyrese,
you probably are serious.
Oh, no, I'm dead serious.
No, he does have one of them.
He has a huge transform.
It's actually Bumblebee.
Bumblebee, yeah.
Yeah, when you walk in his bone.
But the sad thing about it is if
if you have a family,
the best protection is that dog, right?
Because that dog is going to bark
when it hears something.
It's going to be the first mode of protection,
especially if you're not home.
If you're the man in the house, you're not home,
your wife and your kids are there.
You want that protection,
but sometimes if a dog gets out,
what can you do?
That is so sad.
But happy birthday, T-Pain.
He's going to wake up and go off the day.
Why?
Can we, who T-Pain?
Because it's the birthday.
You're going to turn up.
Not go off, go off.
But yeah, he's going to go in.
We got some T-Pain.
Of course we got T-Pain.
It was the time with T-Pain ran Black Radio.
What's your favorite?
I have so many T-Pain.
favorites. I can't even name one.
Oh, we got buy your drink.
All right. Classic.
Damn. It could have been booty work. It could have been
it could have been something for me
to shake my ass to. Come on now.
You got a turn up. Bartender or
Love with a stripper or
That used to be my ringtone. I don't know why
I love with a stripper was my ringtone.
Okay. Well, while he's pulling that up, Shalamee,
who he gave him that donkey to? Man, for after the
hour, there's a guy named Lorenz
Cross who needs to come to the front of the congregation.
We would like to have a word with him.
I don't even know how to describe Lorenz, man.
But I do know that I need to let y'all know this is a very disturbing story.
Okay.
And I don't even know why I got to tell y'all is a disturbing story
because y'all love true crime podcasts and murder mysteries any goddamn way or whatever.
And then after we'll open up the phone lines, 8005-8-5-105-1.
Bad Buddy.
People are upset he's doing the Super Bowl.
I know.
His songs are in Spanish.
They're saying people are not going to understand it and they're pissed.
It's not like white problems.
Well, we'll talk about it.
Like to be mad, too.
Don't care the days up next.
Don't be out here after.

Donkey of the day right here.
The Breakfast Club, bitch.
You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm.
Yeah, it's donkey of the day for Tuesday, September 30th, goes to a man named Lorenz Cross.
Okay.
is 53 years old and he's from upstate new york i believe uh albany i think it is and he's just
one of these people who doesn't know the difference between illusion in reality uh you already
know i blame that on social media okay the virtual reality that social media creates the
alternative reality it allows us to live in really have people not knowing what's real and
what's not real but more importantly it has people thinking they don't have to answer for anything
they do okay it has people believing there is absolutely zero consequences to their
You see it all the time. People get killed and then their killer goes live and starts discussing it with people online. Like what they just did is not criminal. Like you just didn't take a life. Now you online admit into a crime that is going to get you life. And it's not an age thing. Okay. No. People of all generations in this era think they can just do and say whatever with zero consequences. Exhibit A 53 year old Lorenz Cross. See, Lorenz Cross decided to contact a local news outlet. Local news outlet. CBS 50,
because he wanted to do what most people like to do nowadays and that's chat okay he wanted to do an interview because he wanted to get some things off his chest he had some things he wanted to confess well what could he have possibly wanted to confess well i'm going to tell you right now this clip is disturbing and may trigger you just letting you know i don't know why we have to say things like that to y'all anymore because true crime is the number one uh genre in podcasting and y'all love watching murder mysteries on lifetime but here you go let's go to cbs news 56 for the report please
Police arrested 53-year-old Lorenz Krause in upstate New York after he confessed to killing his parents and then burying them in the backyard of their home eight years ago.
Officials say they were investigating why the couple were receiving Social Security payments despite not being seen for years.
Now, Krause sat down with Craig Floyd from our affiliate at CBS 6, Albany, where he made the stunning confession.
Did one parent, did your mom or your dad more so than the other, asked you?
you to take their lives? They didn't explicitly say that, but they made it clear that they were
going downhill. When it actually happened, when your parents died, did they know it was happening
to them? Oh, yeah. And they knew it was at your hand? Well, yes, no one else's. So they
realized what you were doing to them as it happened? Yes. They knew that this was it for them,
but they were perishing at your hand. Yes, and it was so quick. How did you do it?
Yeah, I won't, I can't talk about that.
Well, you've just told us that it was at your hand.
Right.
Were there drugs involved?
No, no.
Was there a suffocation?
Was that you suffocated them?
Yeah.
Which parent did you, did you suffocate first?
Um, my father, and he, after he died, my mother put her head on his chest, and, um, she was there for a few hours, and then, um, I finished her.
Damn, yo.
I know Vlad is somewhere like, damn, how I miss that one?
Now, I got some issues to ask about this situation.
Number one, everybody is content over everything nowadays?
Everybody?
Okay?
Because according to the news report, this guy, Lorenz, sent the two-page statement
the news outlets with his phone number.
So Stone Grissom, the TV station's news director, called him,
and Lorenz Cross told him he buried his parents in his yard.
Then he asked Lorenz,
if he killed them and Lauren said I plead
the fifth. So Grissom told him I promise
I will post your statement on the TV
station's website if you
agree to come in for an interview
and Lorenz agreed.
They even checked Lorenz to make sure he was
unarmed when he was arrived. Now
they did have a plane called police
officer in the front lobby but my question is
why didn't the TV news director report
this to the police as soon as he got the information?
Why would an interview be scheduled?
Why would an interview be conducted?
He should have been detained and bought
for questioning as soon as he stepped foot in that lobby
but people put content
over everything. Should he have been interviewed? Yes
by police. Okay. Now
Albany County Assistant Public
Defender Rebecca Sokol
who was representing Lorenz Cross
said he would be
said she would be looking into how the interview came about
because in her words if the media
was essentially an agent of police
in this matter that could raise questions
about whether Lorenz comments in the interview
would be legally admissible at trial.
Listen, I'm not about to sit here and act like I know what any of that means legally.
I just know morally, ethically, and commonsensely,
if I get an email from someone telling me they buried their parents in the backyard,
my next thought is not going to be, you know what, let's book him for the breakfast club.
Nope.
Okay?
It also says a lot about the times we are in that Lorenz wanted to do an interview.
I know criminals seeking fame for crimes is not new,
but the fact he gave this interview and thought he was just going to walk out
and go enjoy some Waffle House afterwards says a lot about.
this era please let remi Ma give Lorenz cross the biggest he-ho he-ha he-ha you
stupid motherfuck are you dumb that's why that's crazy that's crazy what what race is
are you on play game let me look look first let's play a game because he don't sound like
his name now Lorenz I know one Lorenz that's play power but yes I think so my
Lorenz day oh that's the same damn person
I'm sorry.
Yeah, I'm looking at him.
Slow asses.
No, who, yeah.
Except for power.
But then when I heard his voice, he sounded like Jeffrey Dahmer.
So, let's play a game.
Yes, I do.
All right, let's play a game of guess what racism.
This should be so easy.
Lorenz crossed 53 years old from upstate New York,
killed his parents, buried him in the backyard,
then decided to do an interview about it,
and thought he was just going to walk free after the interview.
Guess what race is?
What?
What?
White? Why do you say white?
Well, you're on Fentinole this morning.
Yes, he is.
He's right.
Fancho's ass to me.
I knew Latinos was going to be wild
and after Bad Bunny got the school bowl,
but he's been just ridiculous this morning.
Just hilarious.
Lorenzo Cross, 53 years old,
killed both his parents, buried him in the backyard,
then went into the interview about it
and thought he was just going to walk free.
Guess what race is?
Brous hard it.
He's white.
Shake it off.
That's just stupid.
But, yes.
Definitely white.
Well, DJ envy.
Is it a picture?
DJ envy, just hilarious.
I want y'all both to know that you are absolutely correct.
Oh, my God.
I know.
He looked so disturbed.
He looked Jeffrey Dahmer Caucasian.
Yes, he did.
Ted Bundy Caucasian.
Charles Benson, Caucasian.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
And that's so crazy that he did this.
to Albany, and I'm going to Albany, October 11th
and the 12th for comedy shows
at the funny bones, so get your tickets if you want to
enjoy some laughter after grieving.
Yeah, he won't be there. Yeah, I'm glad he won't.
I'm glad he won't. Okay.
But y'all get your tickets at just laurice official.com.
That's October 11 or 12th. If you can see him sitting in the front row,
something wrong. I know.
No, I'll rebuke it.
Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now,
just to let you know we're on Twitch right now, so we're
streaming on Twitch. You can go to Breakfast Club AM
and we're going to take some of your
we're going to go to the chat off this one. So we're
asking 800-585-105-1.
Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl this year.
How do you feel about it?
People are upset.
They say he performs primarily in Spanish.
And some people say that they're not going to understand what he's saying.
Who are these people?
A lot of people are saying that.
They're saying that are they wearing ice jackets?
Are these people wearing?
That is so much time.
And they're also saying because Bad Bunny is so outspoken, a critic of Donald Trump.
And he's been vocal about an advocate for Latinx rights.
What artists could they get that wouldn't be outspoken to Donald Trump?
Kidrock?
What are we talking about?
That is the question.
800585-105-1.
People are saying that, you know, the football league is 20 percent, I think less than 20 percent Latin.
The people that are actually playing the league.
And they're saying that they're not going to know what bad money is saying.
But that's why you're going to bring out Jocelyn Hernandez.
That's what they say you.
He's going to bring out some other people.
They're saying that he's not performing in English and that's the problem.
I don't care.
Because you're Dominican.
No.
music is a vibe
Turn it up a little bit
Turn us up a little bit
My husband is so happy
About that
You just want to vibe
To this
Weepa
Weepa weepa
I don't even think
It's that
Eblela
Olapa la la la la
Like the
All right
I definitely don't want to hear that
That's a Mexican beat
We're so confused
Imagine you deaf
Watching closed caption
And you hear
What Mee was just doing
What the hell
8051 let's discuss
Is the Breakfast Club
Good morning
The Breakfast Club
Morning
Morning, everybody
It's topic time
Call 8505151 to join in to the discussion with the breakfast club
Morning everybody
It's DJ NV, Jess Hilarious
Charlemagne de Guy
We are the Breakfast Club
Now if you're just joining us,
Bad Bunny's performing at this year's Super Bowl
And people are upset, they're mad, they're saying that
he primarily performs in Spanish
and they're saying that people are not
going to understand or really vibe with the music
during the halftime show.
Did they feel like that when Shakira performed?
Did they feel like that when J-Lo performed?
Didn't Shakira and J-Lo performed together?
I don't remember that.
J-Loz sings in English, though.
Oh, okay.
Well, I don't know.
I didn't know bad buddy
didn't sing in English.
I don't listen to Bad Bunny's music,
but I do know one thing about Bad Bunny.
He's one of the biggest artists in the world.
He is what?
The Super Bowl is about.
The Super Bowl is about putting the biggest artists
in the world on that stage.
On that stage.
And guess what?
There's artists that they may put on that stage,
that may not necessarily appeal to me in my demographic,
but you know, that's how you learn.
That's how you discover things.
Bad Bunny has sold over 100 million records worldwide.
He just finished, I don't even know if it's finished,
but he did 30 dates in Puerto Rico at a venue that holds like 19,000 people.
And the fact that y'all are already this mad and it's not even February yet,
I smell another Emmy for Rock Nation.
That's what I smell.
No, absolutely.
I mean, I don't see a problem with it.
Like you said, he's the biggest artist.
This is the biggest stage.
And I always say music is a vibe.
I play Bad Bunny's records when I DJ
and I don't know what he's saying.
But the fact is people dance to it.
I play reggae music sometimes
and sometimes the patois be so crazy.
I don't know what they'd be saying.
I don't even understand most of you niggas when y'all rap.
That is so messed up.
What?
No, no, that's the truth.
That is so messed up.
He said, I don't need to understand some of you niggas.
It took me a minute to understand young thug.
Well, I still don't understand young thud.
See, but you still rock.
You rock too, though.
Yeah, I do.
I do some of his head.
If Bad Bunny hadn't have said,
He doesn't want to do no shows in America
because he's afraid that ICE is going to come to his shows
If he hadn't said that, this wouldn't even be a conversation
You think so?
I think this is the only reason this is happening.
No, it's because he took a political stand, right?
And he said that he didn't want to do no shows in America
because he didn't want ICE agents to raise his concerts
or whatever it was.
That sentence alone got people in their films.
But not only that, we also have to remember,
Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican.
Yes.
Puerto Rico is the U.S. territory of the U.S.
So he is a citizen.
Ray is Puerto Rican.
We got a couple of Puerto Ricans that work on Brevers Club.
Ray is Puerto Rican.
Eli is Puerto Rican, but it's weird.
I don't know what he is.
No, it's weird.
Stop playing with him.
He is not weird.
No, I'm saying it's weird.
He said he's Drake.
He's not Puerto Rican.
That's my point.
He acts so much like a great person, but he's actually Puerto Rican.
So it's just like, yo, come on, man.
So, look, Ray, how do you feel?
He's a real Puerto Rican.
How you feel?
I think it's going to be the best Super Bowl show ever?
I know, that's right.
I think he'll kill it.
They need so.
Oh, yeah
Your husband is Mexican, too
Yes, but he really, really likes
Bad Bunny's music
I think Bad Bunny's gonna kill it
Hello, who's this?
This call is you're recording.
Carol, why are you recording us?
Don't be doing that, Fidt.
This call is no longer being
No morning.
Good morning, girl.
Good morning, Joe, good morning, Joey, good morning,
Jimmy, good morning, God.
Yes, indeed.
Talk to us.
What's your thoughts?
Well, to me, I feel like,
I'm Puerto Rican and black
And I just
Want to hear Spanish
What?
I really don't
So to me
I know Jess can agree with me
We've been after Chris Brown
For years
Girl
Haven't we?
I know that's right
I know that's right
I have
I agree a little time
I want to see Chris Brown
I want to see
I want to get English
I want to be able to dance
while the halftime is on
Not be like all
You can dance the bad money
Just because you're Puerto Rican?
No
It's because he's one of the biggest artists in the world
That's right
That's the reason why
It doesn't matter
It's always Chris Brown
I would love to see Chris Brown
In a two-go halftime show one year
But this year
Should have been
To me either Taylor Swift a bad one
Yeah Taylor Swift a bad bun
They have the biggest years
They got albums coming out
You do the biggest artists
And they are the two biggest artists this year
I don't agree
But then again
What can we do
What we got to do is listen to it
Or just turn it off on
Half Time
You'll be watching it
I think the world's going to be watching.
All right.
Have it today, guys.
You see, baby.
I think the world's going to be watching it
because he puts all the hell of a show.
For sure.
Anytime he's performed at any of these award shows, he killed it,
and I'll see nothing less.
Mello!
Yeah, what's the vibes, Amy?
What's the vibes, bro?
Your life is amazing.
It is what it should be.
Talk to us.
What's your thoughts?
All right.
I respect it.
I would be down for Bad Bunny,
you know what I mean,
doing the halftime performance.
You know what I mean?
I'm mixed with black and excellent.
But I just don't feel like the Super Bowl half-time performance
will be his.
like demographic because he's a global superstar but he's not like a generational superstar
like he don't transcend generations like you know what he don't translate to the what
generations like you know what I mean like he like he like he's more so millennial to
gen C not necessarily like y'all's generation like y'all respect it because y'all in the industry but
I don't feel like you know y'all that demographic will respect it I don't know what the
hell you're talking about because bad bunny is literally one of the biggest artists in the world
I guess he's generational like a lot of people at the man yeah right now in the world
I said, mostly, but not generationally.
Like, Dr. Dre was...
Like, you told me, like, when 50th and...
15 years.
On the Super Bowl stage, like, generations felt that.
Yeah.
So people could say that about...
You know what I mean?
People could say that about Kendrick last year.
Exactly.
Generations felt that.
Like, I don't think that money could do that.
No, I'm saying Kendrick is...
Kendrick's not a generational artist yet, like a Dr.
You mean people that have been around for a long time?
Because I could say that Dr. Dre...
But I feel like Kinsk is getting that respect,
especially after what he did the trade.
I get what Mello was saying.
I get what you're talking to circles.
I get not get what he's saying.
Kendrick is a right now type of person
who will absolutely be a generational legacy artist one there.
But, yeah, I think bad money will be true.
I feel like he's in it right now.
I feel like, honestly, like he got his respect.
I feel like people get from his flowers.
Like, yo, you can't turn on the radio without hearing Kudrick, bro.
And, like, he really running everything right now.
Right now at this moment.
But it's like, but I feel like his oldest stuff is also getting his flowers for it, too.
Melo, you also got to think about it like this.
right? On all stations, Bad Bunny's
record has played before. Bad Bunny
had a top record at hip-hop
stations. He's at a top record at Spanish stations.
He had a top record at pop stations.
He's the biggest artist right now.
You can't deny that.
Yeah, no, I'm not saying. I'm saying, like, right now, I'm just
saying, I don't feel like he's reached that level
of, like, he can transcend generations.
I'm not going to host. I can't turn on WBLS,
and he's going to be there.
Because he's not that old.
BLS is an urban adult contemporary.
Kendrick ain't playing on WBLS.
Not at all.
Like, you're not making no sense, Melo?
Mello don't know none of his songs.
That's just what it is.
None of his songs, I know too.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm for whoever, don't he, man.
I just know too.
What Jess said is very important,
because there's one thing about black people, boy.
Black people swear just because we don't know it,
that it ain't happening.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, this man just didn't sell out 30 shows in Puerto Rico.
Correct.
In a venue that hold 19,000 people.
Like, this man hasn't sold 100 million records worldwide.
And black people, can I tell y'all something else?
When you talk about the second largest population,
in America, you know who that is after white people, right?
Latin.
Exactly.
Well, 800.
Exactly.
585, 105, 105 on what take you calls.
But I'm just saying that for everybody who's saying things like, you know, in America, he don't have a large demo.
Latinos make up 20% of the U.S. population.
You're 20% of the league.
It's like 70 million people in America are Latinos.
All right.
Bad Bunny is going to have a huge audience watching him in February.
Well, 8005-85-105-1.
You can hit us on the Twitch, too.
People on the Twitch are saying somebody says,
Latinos outnumber us.
People are missing that the NFL is trying to reach international,
it's going so fast,
international fan-based.
Then they say, yes, he's going to kill it.
Somebody just said ICE on the chat.
But hit us up right now.
That is crazy.
We're on the Twitch page, Breakfast Club, AM, on Twitch,
and we're taking your calls, 800.
All I know.
is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie.
For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved,
until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story.
I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know.
A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen investigator,
on national TV.
Through sheer persistence and nerve,
this Kentucky housewife
helped give justice to Jessica Curran.
My name is Maggie Freeling.
I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer,
and I wouldn't be here
if the truth were that easy to find.
I did not know her and I did not kill her,
or rape or burn,
or any of that other stuff that y'all said.
They literally made me say
that I took a match and struck and threw it on her.
They made me say that I poured gas on her.

Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl.
People are mad.
People are saying that they're not going to understand what he's saying.
They're saying that it's not popular music.
They're saying that only less than 20% of the league is Latino,
and most of the people are not going to understand what he's saying.
What does the league have to do with anything?
I guess representing Latin players.
Man, that Bat Bunny is representing America,
because 20% of America is Latino.
Over 68 million people, probably right around 68, 69 million people in America are Latino.
You know what else I read yesterday?
There was an article that came out that talked about how concert tours are changing
because of Latino spending.
And it literally says from Bad Bunny to Kendrick Lamar
artists are proving that the future of live music is with Latinos
because rising costs and border hurdles in the U.S. are pushing towards South
with massive crowds, booming markets, and passionate fans
are driving record-breaking shows.
Latinos are not only fueling global tours,
but also contribute $4.1 trillion to the U.S. economy.
Okay?
I think he's going to kill it.
And he puts on a hell of a show.
That's one thing that you can say about Bad Bunny.
If you've seen him perform at any of the award shows,
he put on a hell of a show.
And also, the Super Bowl is also,
it's about inclusion,
about the people that they bring.
Yeah.
He's had songs with Cardi B.
He's had songs with Drake.
Right.
He had songs with other Latino artists.
So it could be bigger than just bad money.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what I keep saying.
And Jocelyn Hernandez,
she is a Puerto Rican princess,
and he could be bringing out her, too.
Go to the phone, please.
Go to the phone.
Okay, all right.
Let's please.
Go to the phones.
Hello, who's this?
It's Chris.
This is just Chris?
No, it's not.
Hola.
Oh, la.
No, no, it's not just, Chris.
It's all the crazy, man.
Talk to us.
What's your thoughts?
Man, for one,
Little Wayne should have performed at the New Orleans Super Bowl.
But at this one,
ain't nobody going to understand this, man.
I'm the only spending this.
I know it's come on and stop.
More too bien.
So you just, you just, you don't want to check it
because you don't want to understand.
Yeah, no, I don't understand it.
I don't understand Spanish.
Do you know how many people last year didn't understand Kendrick?
And see, we have such, we're such prisoners at a moment.
We forgot how much people complained last year after Kendrick performed.
No, it was crazy.
It was too black.
He was too black.
I didn't understand.
Yeah, it was a lot.
It was a lot.
Hello, who's this?
Come on from Columbia.
Hey, what's up, bro.
Talk to us, man.
Bad Buddy performing Super Bowl.
What's your thoughts?
I'm actually happy he performed in the Super Bowl.
Bad Bunny acting pretty.
big artists
that just showed me that
Jay Z actually locked in
with what's going on out here
because Bad Bunny
just had a cancel
America
because of the whole
ice everything that's going on
so imagine
the number of people
that tune in to Washington
The fact that you said
It was too scared
to go to the concert
The fact that you said
Big Bunny is actually
I mean Bad Bunny is actually
a pretty big artist
No, he's one of the biggest
artists in the world
and it's not even close
Oh yeah I know
but a lot of people
don't know about Bad Bunny
like America-wise
if I mention Bad Bunny
of my family, they won't really know who it is.
I don't believe, I mean...
Some people might not know, but, you know,
Bad Bunny streamed 77 million streams a month,
so he streams more than a lot of your artists out there.
Oh, yeah, I'm one-up.
So you stream them, so you know exactly what it is.
It's going to be a dope show,
and I think he's going to put on.
I think he's going to read a dope show.
And then that also goes to show you
that everybody don't know everybody.
No, exactly.
And that's okay.
They'll know them after the Super Bowl,
but they don't know them now.
I bet you all you, y'all ain't never play a golf brook song in your house.
I love Garth Brooks.
You're a liar.
What's the Garth Brooks all?
I don't know.
Exactly.
But I do like him.
So to put it in perspective,
Drake streams about $82 million monthly.
Kendrick does about $72 million.
And Bad Bunny does $77 million.
So he's up there with everybody.
So, hey.
Hello.
Who's this?
Hi, this is Reese from Jersey.
Hey, morning, Reese.
Talk to us.
What do you think about bad money performing at the Super Bowl?
So I think people are making an issue out of nothing.
If I'm being honest.
Like, the Super Bowl is known to put.
the biggest names on the stage, those who make the biggest splash within the last year
or whatever the case may be.
So if y'all want y'all people on there, then tell y'all people to start making splashes.
Because it doesn't matter if it's a black person, a white person's going to be mad they
up there.
Or if there's a white person, a Latin person's going to be mad they up there.
Or if there's a Latin person, a black person, going to be mad.
So there's no win.
Like, the solution was, make a splash, we put you on there.
So everybody that is mad just wants something to say.
I agree with you.
always been the case.
Because listen, I don't listen to Bad Bunny,
but I know that Bad Bunny is one of the biggest artists in the world.
I know Bad Bunny has sold hundreds of millions of records worldwide.
I know that Bad Bunny had a residency in Puerto Rico that sold out 30 shows at 19,000
a pop.
I know Bad Bunny.
I know the finale of that show streamed on Amazon Music and was the most watched single
artist performance on Amazon Music to date on the platform.
And Amazon Music, they put the pop out on there with Kendrick.
And I'm pretty sure Jay Cole.
Dreamville Fest was on Amazon, I might be wrong about that.
But I know that the Pop-Out was on there.
So it's just like, y'all, acting like Bad Bunny's not one of the biggest artists in the world is crazy to me.
And he represents a demographic of people in America that are the second largest population of people in the country.
See, I don't think people are acting like that he's not the one of the biggest artists in the world.
I just think people don't know.
That's the thing.
People don't know.
And then people run with what they don't know and start an argument with it.
You don't know him.
So you can't even say, you know what I'm saying?
You can't say whether he's big or not, just because you don't know him.
You're right, but if you go through the genres, right?
So pop-wise, Taylor Swift is the biggest artist, right?
Hands down.
Well, Taylor Swift's the biggest artist in the world.
Correct.
Yeah.
Hip-hop. Who was the biggest artist this year, hip-hop-wise?
Kendrick.
Kendrick.
He performed last year, right?
So as far as what Bad Bunny does, he is the biggest, I say, outside of Taylor and Adel.
In that genre, especially in that genre.
So I don't have a problem with him.
He puts on an amazing show.
I really don't have a problem.
I want to see it because I want to see what he does.
Now, some of the stuff that he's done at the Grammys and things like that,
I wonder if they're going to allow.
But then you do a performance one time
when he kissed a woman dancer
Then he kissed a male dancer
I thought that was Lil Nas X
I didn't know
I don't know
I don't know maybe you're right
But anyway
It's gonna be fine
All I'm seeing is another
Massive successful
Super Bowl halftime show
Blame Rock Nation
Okay
This is gonna be another Emmy winning performance
For Rock Nation
Because because of this
And by the way
This is what art should be
Like you should be able to put artists
on stage that make America be like,
oh my God, what are we watching?
Yeah, be controversial, be shocking.
Yeah, I don't have a problem with it.
And it's diverse.
It's diversity, too.
Like, I love it.
I love it.
And, you know, the mere presence of him is shocking.
Just think about that.
It's not because of it, yeah,
it's not because of anything that they're actually doing.
It's like, Kendra Kalmar,
oh, bad bunny, oh, yes, keep pushing the boundaries.
I love it.
Yeah, all right.
And then I think they had a number of, the amount of people
that actually watched the Super Bowl.
and the numbers were insane
and they kept going up from
from the time where rock nation was picking up
the number had been through the freaking roof
and I did read yesterday
that they were trying to negotiate with Taylor Swift
but she wanted too much
she was asking for like the music rights
or something I forgot what it was
all right well anyway we got the latest
with Lauren coming up so don't move
it's the breakfast club good morning
Lauren becoming a straight fat
she gets him from somebody that
somebody. She gets the detail.
I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
She'd be having the latest on this.
The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details,
sometimes you have a little bit of everything.
Well, it's the latest.
On the breakfast club.
Talk to me.
So yesterday on a Mafiathon 3,
Drewski, Kevin Hart and Kai did a sleepover.
They announced during this day he had a lot of fun.
They announced during a sleepover, though,
that they will be doing a movie,
which Drewskiy talked about when he was
appear as well too. It is official.
They will be doing the movie. We have some audio
from the trailer. Yeah, well
yeah, so it'll be coming soon. It's called live stream from
hell. Let's take a listen to some of the trailer for the movie.
Kev, open the gate!

Oh, my God, man! That is a
handmade vase face.
It's a fucking viz, you broke-ass

Kevin, you're going to ruin my career, bro.
Listen, man, I'm going to be

Yeah, so it gives
like horror, comedy, because there's like
a dead body in the trailer
and then they're all trying to like
get out the house.
Like a who done it.
Yeah, who done it.
And it's a live stream from hell.
It's during a live stream
that's like, you know, setting.
So that'll be coming soon.
I don't know what platform is going to get that project,
but whatever platform gets that project is going to break screaming records.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
Like, whatever platform decides to say,
hey, we want that, they're going to break screaming records.
I'm just happy they got it done.
We got it done fast.
They're hilarious because I tried to watch the full stream last night,
but it started so late on RSI in New York because they're in L.A.
I see clips.
And Jesus Christ, they are funny as hell.
We got one of the clips.
The Ruby Rose, what they call Ruby Rose?
Y'all heard you playing it earlier last.
They call Ruby Rose on the stream.
Do you eat Drew's ass? Yes, no.
He got her to f***.
Yeah, Ruby, be honest.
Do you eat, do you eat?
Do you eat, if or no?
God, do I look like I do that?
Oh, she did not.
You're not.
I told you.
I told you.
I told you.
Okay, okay.
I ask you whatever question you want to ask.
I know this is not on live stream.
Ruby?
No, we're not.
Listen, we're not.
Seriously.
Seriously.
First of all, we are.
But second of all, we don't have two questions.
This is a baby.
Man, shut out.
Let's your problem.
Okay.
So you could tell the kids in the chat and then you see what Kevin Hart starts to act like an adult.
Yeah.
And it goes back to acting like a kid.
Yeah.
Yeah, they slam at each other.
It's a good.
The three of them together is great.
You got to make sure Drewski got a bado if y'all out there tasting Drewskii grossies.
I'm just saying.
And what's a big boy, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, but I'm the same.
Just make sure you got a bidet is all I'm saying.
Well, in other news, because we got some things we got to get to here.
So moving on, coming back on over to New York
There's audio that leaked while we were
Actually us going into coming on air this morning
Of Cardi B
This is a phone conversation
That it looks like Cardi is having with
Ice Spice's team
Let's take a listen to that
What she said?
Why do you want to add dumb?
Trust me, I really don't know
You don't know?
I'm going to show you
I'm not loto
I'm gonna beat her the fuck up
I'm gonna knock her the fuck out
All y'all
I'm gonna beat her ass
I'm gonna get right and beat up by my

are you going to tell me what she said you know what the fuck he said i'm going to tell you what she said
I'm gonna tell you what she said
y'all want to f*** that stupid
you think I'm Lotto? You think I'm naked?
I'll beat you the fuck up
all ya. I'm gonna beat her eyes.
Yeah, so this
I don't know if we need bad money at the
suit bowl.
I don't know, man.
Yeah, so this leaked
Jesus.
Speaking of Lotto, just to
get this in before we have to wrap.
Lotto, well first of all, I want to say this leaked
and people were trying to figure out what the timeline was.
They mentioned Ice Spice was doing something at the Empire State Building.
That was back in July, 2024, when she was promoting her Y2K album.
So I believe it's from that time period.
I did reach out to try to get more clarity on that, but I haven't heard back from anyone yet.
But yeah, so now...
What was the context of that?
The context of that was there was a song that was on Ice Spice's Y2K album called Bibi Belt.
And during that song, she drops a line where Cardi, and people believe that she discardy.
Let's take a listen to that line.
I know I'm old, man.
I was born in 1978.
How does stuff like that lead a studio?
I don't know I'm like.
The internet?
That's right.
Well, yeah.
I feel like she should have did another tape.
I'm just saying.
Now, Cardi has not come out.
Am I tripping?
I mean, no shit.
This is going to be shady the way I say.
It's Ice Spice.
So, like, I don't know what you do.
Dang, that was a shot.
Why do you say it like that?
That's how she likes.
Black when you're supposed to stick with each other.
I like Ice Force, but that's how she.
She said she's black in the song.
She said, you know, I'm black.
Black y'all can talk about my hair.
But Cardi hasn't said anything yet as to if that is what this audio was.
Ice Vice hasn't either.
I was just doing my own, you know, putting a timeline together and it makes sense for that
to be the time period.
And Cardi B did mention, you know, conversations about people trying to take her place while
she's been doing this rollout.
People thought that that was old, right?
That's like a year and a half old two years old.
Yeah, but Cardi.
You got to worry about nobody taking your place rapping like that car.
You can leave, go to the bathroom, go get something to eat, okay, go feed all the kids.
Okay, you ain't even got to worry about
nobody taking your place
If that's how she's coming
As we rap, Cardi did mention Lotto
God bless her by soul, but that was
Yeah
What was that?
The fart
She said she's a, do you know, whatever
As we rap, Cardi B did mention Lotto
And yesterday Lotto for the first time ever
From what it seems
confirmed that Her in 21 Savage are dating
I'm moving on in the news
Let's take a listen to that
Let it through our street
You're about to go have this
Dinner with my husband
Wait, wait, wait.
So are you tired of people asking about you know who?
No.
So you're not tired of hearing about 21.
My man, my man.
Oh, she said I'm about to go have dinner with my husband.
And she said, my man, my man, my man.
She said 21.
She said, my man, my name, my man.
So people are like, oh, that she's finally saying that's her mean, her, her man.
Because remember she said, shout out to my man.
Thank you to my man.
I mean, yeah, we knew that.
But she said, my husband.
Okay.
That's even bigger than my me and, my man.
Yeah, but I mean, we don't know if there's like a marriage certificate
Because she just said that or whatever
I mean because people do still try and point back to
And I don't know the status of this
But 21 being married previously
So who? There's a whole
It's a whole thing. We didn't get the time.
Hold on Twitter logic impresses me so much
So hold on so you mean to tell me that
Because she said my man, my man, my man
They're saying because of the cadence
Like 21 21 21 21?
No
Because in that audio she says
I'm about to go out to eat with my husband
Celia from TMZ shout out to her says
21 Savage, she says, my man, my man, my man, my man.
She doesn't say no, we want to play it one more time.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we don't need to get it.
We don't need it, we got it, we got it.
We got it. We got it. We got it. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
But to your point, Jess, that we'll start people starting to look into this a little deeper.
Now, again, it was a seemingly confirmed because she could have not heard to Leah, too, and just been saying my man.
She heard her, and she said my husband and just said, my man, my man, my man.
And I don't know anything about that whole, like, marriage conversation, not conversation.
Okay, okay, okay.
If y'all don't break right now, I'm going to play ice spikes again.
I like her.
I'm going to go to the conversation.
I'm going to play ice spikes again, but y'all not listen.
So maybe play ice spice again now.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the unpurposed podcast.
Recently, I had a conversation with the one and only, Madonna.
When I was broke and I had no friends, nowhere to live, I was held up at gunpoint, I was robbed,
all these horrendous things happened to me.
I had such an unhappy childhood that whatever happened to me in New York is better than what my life was,
so I'm not going back.
