Starting point is 00:02:02 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, y'all. Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa
Starting point is 00:02:45 Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
Starting point is 00:03:07 Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, black, and highly favored, man. Life is good. Yeah, feeling good. We're here. We're breathing. We're above ground.
Starting point is 00:03:47 You know what I mean? We woke up alive. Some people woke up dead this morning. You know what I mean? That is a fact. That is a fact. I don't know if that's a fact. No, I mean, some people didn't wake up this morning.
Starting point is 00:03:57 I'm sure. That's a fact. It's life. I said some people woke up dead. I don't know if you wake up dead. I don't know if you wake up somewhere and be like, oh, my God. I'm dead? No, I don't know if that happens. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:04:06 It's possible. Well, you know, ever since, I don't know if this happened to a lot of people, but ever since the pandemic, I guess I found out that I have allergies, which is weird because I've never had allergies all my life. But after the pandemic, I had allergies. So yesterday they did a test
Starting point is 00:04:22 where they stuck this, it's like a two foot, I would say it felt like two feet, but maybe a foot two. But my nose. Okay. Oh, my goodness. So you got holes that can take a lot all over your body. Is that all you got out of it? No.
Starting point is 00:04:36 What you're saying is true, though. You know, and it's not just allergies, like different types of congestions. Yes. All kinds of stuff. It's so many. Like all my kids on so many different breathing treatments. It's so much going on out here. Yeah, they said I have polyps in my nose, which make it very nasally.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Oh, that's why you said you kept snoring. Yeah, that's also why I was snoring. And my snoring has been the last, I guess, couple of years. And they said that's what they've been seeing, you know, from the pandemic and from COVID. They've been seeing a lot of nasal problems and people having problems. Now, mind you, knock on wood, I've never got COVID that I know of.
Starting point is 00:05:12 But they were saying because of that, that's part of some of the reasons. So I have to take this medicine that's supposed to, I guess, you know, not, well, it doesn't get rid of the polyps, but I guess it makes it smaller so I can breathe easier. And if that doesn't work, then they have to do surgery to take the polyps off. I wonder how much of that is COVID.
Starting point is 00:05:30 How much of that is the vaccine? Like, what is it exactly? They don't know. It's causing all these side effects. And you're right. It could be the vaccine. It could be a host of everything. But I've never been allergic to anything.
Starting point is 00:05:40 I've never had allergies. I've never had any of that. So the fact that I have it now is just very weird to me. You know, I had allergies growing up, and I never had any of that. So the fact that I have it now, which is very weird to me. You know, I had allergies growing up and I don't have them anymore. Really? So for you, it went the other way. No, so I know that.
Starting point is 00:05:54 But but there's certain things like dust. I don't know if that's a habit. I can't have like if some place is really, really dusty. Like say you're doing construction. That might make me sneeze. And then I think that And then certain animals. Yeah, but I don't know if that's an, that's why I said I don't know if that's allergies or if that's. No, I don't think that's allergies.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Because you know how some people would be like, I'm allergic to dust. Oh, okay. Yeah, but they're just saying that there's a lot of people that's having a lot of problems ever since the pandemic. Like you said, they don't know if it's due to COVID, if it's the vaccine, if it's, they don't know what it is, but they're seeing a high rate of people coming in and dealing with these problems. Oh, have mercy.
Starting point is 00:06:28 But anyway. We just out here, man. We just out here. That's why I said, you just got to take it one ghetto day at a time, man. You know what I mean? Yeah. Appreciate life while we got it. I don't know what the hell's happening, though, boy.
Starting point is 00:06:39 I'm just enjoying the ride. All right. Well, Tory Lanez will be joining us this morning. He has a new album, Sorry For What, that comes out tomorrow. So we'll be kicking it with Tory Lanez. I know people are looking for him to talk about a whole lot of things, but I don't think that he can. I think he's still in court, so I don't think he can talk about the majority of it. He's got a child coming up. There's investigations going on. Yeah, but we're going to kick it with him.
Starting point is 00:07:02 I missed that conversation. I mean, it is true he does have all those things come up. That's why people will be wondering, you know, why at a certain point there was so much out over social media. Like, I mean, the judge had to stop him from talking over social media. You know what I mean? Yeah, so he definitely can't speak, but
Starting point is 00:07:19 we're going to ask him. We're going to see what he will talk about this morning and have a conversation with him. And then we got front page news, what we're talking about. Man, Hurricane Ian had touched down in Florida. And if y'all saw some of these videos and pictures and everything, it was pretty bad. Yeah, horrible. All right, we'll get to it next. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.
Starting point is 00:07:51 There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country.
Starting point is 00:08:07 My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets.
Starting point is 00:08:20 We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her
Starting point is 00:08:54 dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves, for self-preservation and protection. It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Starting point is 00:11:46 to help you find love again. If you didn't get it right the first time, it's time to try, try again, as they guide you through this podcast experiment in dating. Hey, I'm Jana Kramer. As they say, those that cannot do, teach. Actually, I think I finally got it right, so take the failures I've had the second or even third or whatever, maybe the fourth time around. I'm Jenny Garth. 29 years ago, Kelly Taylor said these words, I choose me. She made her choice. She chose herself. When it comes to love, choose you first. Hi, everyone. I'm Amy Robach. And I'm TJ Holmes. And we are, well, not necessarily relationship experts. If you're ready to dive back into the dating pool and find lasting love, finally, we want to help.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Listen to I Do Part 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now, congratulations to Yankees hitter Aaron Judge.
Starting point is 00:12:51 He hit his 61st home run. Now, he ties the American League home run record. That record was set in 1961. So, you know, everybody's been going to the games trying to catch this ball because if they do catch the ball, that ball could be worth a couple of hundred thousand dollars. But where he hit the ball, nobody could get it. So, he gets that ball. So, the next ball
Starting point is 00:13:11 He did that on purpose. Yeah, right. He didn't say, okay, I'm going to aim it in this pot. But the next one is the 62nd home run, which everybody will be trying to get, because that'll be beating the record. If I was Aaron Judge, I'd be telling people, I got 61 home runs without steroids, without the asterisk.
Starting point is 00:13:26 I'd be making announcers say that. You know what I mean? I got 61 home runs, all natural, no BBLs. That's what I would be saying. Well, a guy that got 61 home runs, Roger Maris, the record he just tied, we don't know if he had steroids or not, because that was 1961, bro. So even though he says that. But they don't count, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:13:44 They don't count the Mark McGuires of the world. Barry Barnes. Yeah, this Astrid. The Sammy Sosa's. All of those guys got Astrid. But they had over 60. Yeah, but that's National League. It's National League and American League.
Starting point is 00:13:56 So it's like East and West. I don't know about no damn baseball. I'm trying to explain it to you. Oh. That's like National League. So you have the East Coast teams or the West Coast teams or the AFC and the NFC. This is the National League.
Starting point is 00:14:05 He beat the American. He tied the American League record. Because the National League record, you know, you have the East Coast teams or the West Coast teams or the AFC and the NFC. This is the National League. He beat the American. He tied the American League record because the National League record, you know, Barry Bonds and them boys was hitting up like 71 home runs, 72 home runs. Yeah, Barry Bonds had 73. Yeah, 73 home runs. So two different sides. But what else we got, Yeezy? All right.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Well, Hurricane Ian touched down in Florida, and they are already calling this a life-changing event. They said they've been inundated with calls, 911 call centers. And, you know, apparently the storm flooded roads and homes. Trees were uprooted. Cars were sent floating in the streets. Nearly 2.5 million homes and businesses are without power as of today. And authorities were reporting heavy rain and flooding in the Orlando metro area where 8 to 12 inches of rain had already fallen.
Starting point is 00:14:44 And up to 4 more inches of rain was expected and it has weakened to a category one hurricane and it's crawling across central Florida it's heading toward the east coast dumping heavy rains on low-lying areas I saw there were all kind of there were sharks in the street yeah uh yeah all kinds of things happening but it was record high storm surges from Hurricane Ian up to 12 feet in some places, while multiple areas like Fort Myers and Naples and Punta Gorda
Starting point is 00:15:13 were facing record high storm surges of 12 to 16 feet. Hurricane warnings and tornado watches do continue. The storm is moving northeast and hurricane warnings for a stretch of Florida's west coast, west coast north of Bonita Beach also. So the state, the storm is expected to leave Florida and move into the Atlantic Ocean today.
Starting point is 00:15:34 So governors in Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina have already declared a state of emergency. Yeah, Hurricane Ian messed up all my weekend plans like South Carolina State versus the University of South Carolina was supposed to be this weekend, but they moved that game up to today. Yeah, Fort Myers, 96% of the city is without power. And there's people who have lost their homes. People have lost their vehicles. People are trapped in their homes. People are worried about their neighbors who didn't evacuate. One couple in Fort Myers said they were trapped in their home and the ceiling caved
Starting point is 00:16:08 in and water started gushing inside. Wow. Prayers up for them, man. Absolutely. I wonder when did they start the process of helping people? Was that immediately or not? If the storms moved?
Starting point is 00:16:23 They've been already sending people out there. They've been already sending people out there. I know they had a bus or a plane leaving this morning to go to Florida from New Jersey and New York. People, first responders going to help and try to make sure that people are okay. I know they're starting to travel down there already. Man.
Starting point is 00:16:43 All right. It is a state of emergency so they do have the resources and money uh in advance planning to make sure that people can get help but they said in some places emergency crews couldn't even go out yet yeah because it's too dangerous all right well that is your front page news man you know what and we got to send a rest in peace to Coolio. Coolio passed away yesterday. You know, Coolio. He's too young to die, man.
Starting point is 00:17:10 59 years old. God bless that brother. Yeah, fantastic voice. This is it right here, right? Yeah. Gangsta's Paradise. Gangsta's Paradise. Turn up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:17:20 He was 59 years old. A lot of people were paying respect online. Michelle Pfeiffer, who starred in that movie, Gangsta's Paradise, back in 1995, paid her respect. I saw Snoop Dogg paid his respect. MC Hammer. A lot of people, they said the cause of his death has not been confirmed.
Starting point is 00:17:41 But he was found unresponsive on the bathroom floor of a friend's house in LA. All right, well, we'll play Gangster's Paradise. Let's let it rock for a second. And get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now.

Starting point is 00:23:21 How's it going? What's going on? How you feeling? How's everything? Talk to us. So, listen. Tara went out at about 1.30 last night. And so I was like, all right, that's not a problem. Like I said, I'm in Central Florida.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Our flooding is not that bad. So honestly, I'm just thankful. I think we might get the back end of the storm. We have family out in Fort Myers. I've got friends out in Tampa. I've in Fort Myers. I've got friends out in Tampa. I've already gotten word that I've got a friend in Tampa who's suffering some roof damage.
Starting point is 00:23:50 And then I haven't even gotten a chance to actually get in contact with my people in Fort Myers yet. But I know one of them is really on top of the family. So I'm pretty sure she got everybody where they needed to go. Otherwise than that, we're safe.
Starting point is 00:24:03 I'm, you know, thankful. No flooding, no issues. Like I said, we're just in the dark right now with flash than that, we're safe. I'm, you know, thankful. No flooding, no issues. Like I said, we're just in the dark right now with flashlights. But we're good. We're good. I'll take that. I'll take no power over really bad home damage any day. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 00:24:17 I'm just like, yeah, I wouldn't even know what to do if that happened. But I was like, let me call in and check in. You know, I've seen a couple of people on YouTube. You you know I've been talking to people in Florida that was on YouTube so I'm just glad that you know everybody they are not reporting too many deaths which is a good thing because people really did take the preparation seriously so thank God for that otherwise than that we're pretty much just holding it down until um I think if Envy was asking, no, Charlamagne was asking, when do they start coming out to try and fix? It's pretty much once they figure out, you know, is it safe for us to have the emergency vehicles out and, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:53 the electricians out on the road. So pretty much then it's just a waiting game. Just like if it was any other bad thunderstorm, you just have to wait until it's safe for them to try and come out and restore power. So honestly, I'm just thankful for that. Like I said, I got no flooding. I've got no damage. I still got rain and wind.
Starting point is 00:25:08 But as far as everybody in my household, we are good. We are safe. Just no power. That's a blessing.

He had no cigarettes, But I'm off today. And I figured he was going to at least leave me like two, maybe three cigarettes. You know what I'm saying? Because yesterday, you know, I had four cigarettes and I gave them half of my pack.
Starting point is 00:26:17 So I'm like, yo, like, you know, I don't got none. So we get like two, at least two or three. Keisha, Keisha, Keisha.

Starting point is 00:35:57 All right. A 17-year-old boy and his stepmother have been arrested, and that is in connection with the murder of PNB Rock. He was fatally shot earlier in the month at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in South Los Angeles. Now, there is a third suspect who remains at large, and they said he is armed and dangerous. That adult male suspect is Freddie Lee Trone, and he's the father of the 17-year-old who was in custody. The 17-year-old who was arrested was booked on suspicion of murder. And his stepmother was identified as 32 year old Chantel Trone. She was taken into custody and booked on suspicion of being an accessory to
Starting point is 00:36:34 murder. So according to the LAPD, a suspect entered the restaurant and approached the rapper as he was having lunch with his girlfriend who had already posted a picture of their food and their location on Instagram. And the gunman shot him and stole some of his property and also demanded property from the girlfriend before taking off in a getaway car.
Starting point is 00:36:52 So anybody with information on Trone's whereabouts, it's urged to call the LAPD Homicide Detectives at 323-786-5146. Now, they said... This situation couldn't get any sadder, man. No, they... Yeah, they said they were in the parking lot, they said they were in the parking lot. They said they were in the parking lot.
Starting point is 00:37:07 And saw PNB Rock go inside. And so it wasn't due to whatever was posted on Instagram. Right. So the posting and the geotags that everybody's been talking about had nothing to do with it. We still shouldn't do it. That's common sense, though. We said that from day one. Like, people act like, I'm telling you, everybody acts like the internet is the end all be all as if
Starting point is 00:37:26 places don't exist. Like you can't get out of a car and somebody could just simply see you. Yeah, but you know people and this is the smallest part of it, but people are always, when they report the story, they say they posted where they were. But if that had nothing to do with the story, why do we keep saying it? Like why do we keep bringing it up? And more
Starting point is 00:37:42 importantly man, how much do you hate yourself that you would put your son in this position? You're supposed to be raising your kids to win the battles that you lost. This dude took his son and put him right on the front lines of that battle with dysfunction. And for what? Some damn change? The whole family. This is proof that age does not guarantee wisdom.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Because when you know better, you're supposed to do better. His father clearly never got to the point where he knew any better. This is disturbing on so many levels, man. It's like, you know how many levels of failure had to happen in that family for it to get to this? Like we talk about breaking generational curses and wanting to have more to pass on to our kids and trauma. This brother failed that test miserably. I couldn't even imagine me or my dad saying, hey, you go get that right fast. That just
Starting point is 00:38:28 seems crazy. You put your son in the front line because you don't know if PNB had a pistol. He could have shot back and killed just like it doesn't make sense. And that's why everybody not fit to lead. Like just because you're a man doesn't mean you absolutely should be the head of the household because this
Starting point is 00:38:43 man ruined his whole household, his whole family with one poor choice. For a piece of jewelry. For a chain. Alright. NBA Youngboy, he had another baby, so congratulations to him. Yesterday he shared a photo of himself
Starting point is 00:38:59 holding and feeding his newborn baby and he already has a daughter with his fiance Jazée, Jazlyn. So congratulations to the two of them. That's his 10th. I saw that Nick Cannon was trending. Who has more babies, him or Nick? I think Nick Cannon has nine, but he's expecting his 10th and 11th.
Starting point is 00:39:23 So, yes. So NBA young boy, another baby. All right. directing his 10th and 11th. So, yes. So, NBA Youngboy. Another baby. All right. Now, 50 Cent has debuted his official trailer for the hip-hop homicide series that he is doing on the WE tv. It's going to be coming out on November 3rd.
Starting point is 00:39:37 And Van Lathan is hosting it. And so, here is that trailer. As of 2022, there's been a staggering number of rappers who've been murdered. And more than half of those cases are unsolved. How many times do we have to see this in hip-hop? If pop stars were being killed at this rate, there would be an uproar about it. They'd be at war.
Starting point is 00:39:57 I'm your host, Van Lake. And together with executive producer 50 Cent, we're here to bring these cases into the light. I was with him. I could see everything. My daddy was a known gangster in the city. We're here to find the truth. These guys are rappers. They're number one targets. They'll die while living their dreams. That's what happens when you mix street with music.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Salute to my guy, Van Lathan. Salute to 50 Cent and Mota Sky Young. They the EPs on that project so the clip opens with a montage which includes XXXTentacion Pop Smoke
Starting point is 00:40:31 King Von and other rappers who have passed away tragically yeah I saw people online yesterday saying that they are profiting off of trauma
Starting point is 00:40:39 and I disagree because a lot of these cases you know haven't been solved therefore it'll bring light to a lot of situations folks may have forgot about and may lead to some arrest and the show addresses like all the socio-economic conditions that lead to a lot of these things happening and unlike
Starting point is 00:40:53 something like that dharma tv show the families of the victims are actually you know involved in this show so i can't wait to watch all right nowhmm. All right. Now, Soulja Boy is still mad at DJ Vlad, and he does not like Vlad's recent interview with Teddy Riley. Remember, we discussed this the other day. Just to refresh y'all, here's what Vlad was asking Teddy Riley and Teddy Riley's response regarding his daughter, Nia Riley. Nia Riley. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:20 And Soulja Boy have had a lot of drama. Nia's your daughter. Yes. When you hear some of the stories, Nia claimed that Soulja Boy kicked her in the stomach while she was pregnant, put a gun to her head, that type of thing. As a father, how does that affect you? Well, let me say this. Soulja Boy knows who I am, and he knows I'm deep. He knows I'm very deep.
Starting point is 00:41:38 We had an altercation. I was called a lot of names, and I got an apology. I'm looking for an apology for what he's done to my daughter. I'm looking for that. As a man, I'm looking for that. Well, here is what Soulja Boy had to say as he went on Instagram Live to address Vlad. He said that, Vlad, by the way, he said, I made you Vladimir. And here's what else he had to say.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Why I went and did an interview with you? Why he in jail now? Why every time Boosie do an interview with you, he getting pulled over by the police? Because you're the police, bull****. Shut the f*** up. say. All the interviews you want with you speaking on my name, I'm still a gangster, still viral. I'm still number one. Y'all still. Stop bringing Teddy Riley into this, DJ Vlad. He ain't got shit with this. Bring it up five, six years ago. Let's talk about it right now.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Let's talk about how you getting rappers locked up. All right. Well, looks like he does have an issue with Vlad. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news next, what are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:42:48 Man, Bishop Lamar Whitehead, two people have been charged for robbing him mid-sermon in Brooklyn. Alright, we'll get to that next and Tory Lanez will be joining us next hour, so don't move, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

Starting point is 00:43:51 All right, now there's Alzheimer's drug that is showing promise in the early results of study. That'll be life-changing for a lot of people as drug makers are researching Alzheimer's disease. And they said that this potential treatment appeared to slow the fatal disease in a late stage study. So it shows that the decline, patient clinical decline, reduced patient clinical decline by 27% when compared to a placebo or fake drug
Starting point is 00:44:16 after 18 months of this treatment. So that's exciting for a lot of people because Alzheimer's is something that is so scary. It's like out of your control. It affects everybody around you. So hopefully they can find something that can help with Alzheimer's. All right. Now let's talk about Bishop Lamar Whitehead of Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries.
Starting point is 00:44:37 If you recall, in July, a crime was captured on a video live stream as he was giving a sermon. And the people that robbed him, three people, actually got away with an estimated $1 million in jewelry in the middle of a church service. Here's what happened. Yo. Yo. All right, all right, all right. All right, all right. Yo, all right.
Starting point is 00:45:01 All right. Sit down, sit down. Come on. All right. So that was during the live stream when the robbers came in and robbed the bishop. Well, now two men have been arrested, Juwan Anderson and Saquon Pollack. They're both 23 years old. They were arrested by a joint task force of the NYPD and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. They each were charged in federal court with one count of using force or fear to commit a robbery and one count of conspiracy. They were also charged with one count of possessing and brandishing a firearm and a crime of violence.
Starting point is 00:45:39 They both pleaded not guilty in court in Brooklyn yesterday. The pastor was there as well. Bishop Lamar Whitehead watching the proceedings. And so there's a third defendant that does remain at large, according to prosecutors, and he was not named yesterday. That's good. I mean, they earned that. Like, you shouldn't be robbing people, period, but you do it on a Sunday morning in the church. You deserve everything that comes with that.
Starting point is 00:45:57 And what are the people who were saying it was a hoax saying now? What are they saying? I saw people still saying, I guess, how much did he pay them to do this and blah, blah, blah. I know people are still trying to run with that. And Bishop Lamar Whitehead on his behalf, you know, he said he should be able to dress the way that he wants to dress. He said, what about the pope? There's no talk about the things that he wears at all. But me as an African-American young man, I'm ridiculed.
Starting point is 00:46:23 Now, the pope don't be fresh. What does the pope wear? I was about to say, what does the pope wear? No, no, young man i'm ridiculed now the pope don't believe these heinous crimes we see online, how will we ever move to really correct them? We'll be desensitized to everything if we don't believe nothing. I think people like to make jokes, too. And I feel like when the news came out, people were leaving comments, trying to be funny. You know how it is.
Starting point is 00:46:57 People don't take anything seriously. Everything's a joke. Yeah, it's all fun and games. It's all fun and games until you're on the other end of that gun. Yeah, when it's you in that position getting robbed, it's all fun and games it's all fun and games until you on the other end of that gun yeah when it's you in that position getting robbed it's all fun and games I just think it makes it being that people don't believe these things when they see him it just makes us desensitized to everything and that's that's whack cuz we'll never really move to correct nothing yeah and imagine how
Starting point is 00:47:22 that affects people who are actually having something terrible happen to them and everybody's making jokes online. You know, how that affects a person. Or the bishop. How did that affect the bishop? I'm sure the bishop was like, finally, I got some justice, but damn, y'all still don't believe me? Alright, now
Starting point is 00:47:40 PETA is calling for women to go on a sex strike against men who eat meat. They want a sex ban to be placed on those men. And they said that devouring sausages and schnitzels is a symptom of toxic masculinity. And it's killing the planet. So they want women to go on a sex strike to save the world. And I'm sure some men, too, by the way. That's a story.
Starting point is 00:48:01 So, yeah, it's a real story. Angred. Yeah. Angred. Angred New? Yeah, it's a real story. Angry. Angry Newkirk, the CEO of PETA. You need to come back up to the breakfast club. Stop this. Stop this nonsense you speak of. Now, vegan men get more matches on dating apps because compassion is
Starting point is 00:48:18 attractive and also artery clogging meat increases the risk of erectile dysfunction and every meaty meal is throwing us closer to an environmental catastrophe. There's absolutely nothing sexy about it. What if we stop calling penis meat? What if we stop saying our meat and we start calling it, like, celery or, like, a carrot? What if we call our penis something plant-based?
Starting point is 00:48:42 Are we really having this conversation this morning? Yeah, like dip that celery in the blue cheese. There you go. Let me dip my celery in your blue cheese. That's what I'm talking about. See, that's what we need to do. That make it more safe for PETA. Can you still be a munch, though, if it's celery? Is it still
Starting point is 00:48:58 a munch? Yes, you still munch on celery. You still munch on that? Okay. That's why they call it tossing salad. Whoa. See, that's what we call it tossing salad. Whoa. See, that's what we need to do. We need to make all these sexual terms plant-based. Tossing salad was just the first of its kind. We need to make all of them plant-based.
Starting point is 00:49:13 Like you just said, dip the celery in the blue cheese. Toss the salad. We got to come up with more terms like that to make Peter feel comfortable. Yes. Yes. Right. The eggplant challenge. That was a big deal. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. It. Right. The eggplant challenge. That was a big deal.
Starting point is 00:49:25 That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. It doesn't come off the same. Like you say, give it his meat. Give it his celery. No, I like, give it his carrot.
Starting point is 00:49:34 No, no. I like the eggplant challenge. I like dip the celery in the blue cheese. Envy, you know, you love sauce in your salad. Huh? I think,
Starting point is 00:49:42 I think that, I think that could make Peter comfortable. What else? Come on. I want everybody out there thinking about this all to listen to everybody think about how we can make all of these sexual colloquialisms these sexual terms more plant based more plant like for veggie friendly
Starting point is 00:49:57 carrots and hummus maybe give me those melons yeah see now y'all talking Ingrid Newkirk the CEO of PET, we're doing this for you. Okay? We're going to make all of these sexual terms more vegan-like or veggie-like or whatever the hell it is.
Starting point is 00:50:13 And let's be clear. People who eat a lot of vegetables and fruits taste way better than people who eat. See? What are we doing, guys? What are we doing? This is crazy. We're trying to be progressive. We're making the world more friendly, okay?
Starting point is 00:50:28 I don't want Pete out here banning sex, not wanting people to get meat. She's taking the terms too literally. Whatever. All right. Well, that is the front page news. Goodness gracious. When we come back, Tori. And he wants to move on and have some sausage.

Starting point is 00:51:37 I got to sleep in three hours. I have to do The Breakfast Club in the morning. Yeah, that was about three hours ago. I was at Starlet's. No, you was out last night. I think it's a tradition that every time I come here, I go to Starlet's the night before. Starlet's first, and they come here? I just had to do that.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Now, sorry for what? Now, your new album. First of all, are you signed to a major, or are you independent? No, I'm independent, fully independent. And that's how you won it? Yeah, for sure. I've always wanted to be independent
Starting point is 00:51:59 and be able to touch the money that the labels touch. Now, recently, you got into an alleged altercation with an R&B artist August Alcina look man I'm I'm here to just answer about the album. We see Putting this hand out and you know, is there an open investigation with the LAPD because I saw they said they were looking into it again Couldn't tell you don't know and don't get me wrong I'm always here to answer all the questions and stuff, but I'm really just here just preaching positivity today. Like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:52:29 Everything that's been going on in my life and the things that's been going on around me, I just try to keep positive. There's one last question. Now, we've seen that you walk by each other and he put his hand up. Did you ever know that y'all had a problem? Because I'm sure if you knew there was a disagreement, you wouldn't have put your hand up. No, I mean, just generally speaking, regardless, I don't have a problem? Because I'm sure if y'all, if you knew there was a disagreement, you wouldn't have put your hand out. No, I mean, just generally speaking, regardless, I don't have a problem with anybody.
Starting point is 00:52:48 And I wrote for him before this. You know, it's not one of those. Oh, so you pen stuff for his projects and stuff like that? Well, for Meek and August, the record they did, I did that. Oh, okay. Okay, that's probably why,
Starting point is 00:53:00 because I guess he had an issue with the freestyle that you did talking about the situation. Again, I like how we're doing this, but like I said, I'm here to talk about that. You know, you've been through a lot, like you said, recently, and now you're trying to do all positivity. But do you ever feel like if there were people that were not in your corner then, are you forgiving of that as time passes? The thing about it is, I can never be upset about someone's opinion. Whatever they thought at the time
Starting point is 00:53:26 was just whatever they were feeling at the time. And I know that a lot of people's opinions have changed up and down about me. And, you know, it's not of me to be a judge or to be God or to be playing God's role in judging people. I forgive everybody. You know, I don't forget, but I forgive. So you could work with somebody
Starting point is 00:53:42 who might have said something negative about you? Of course. I'm about this money. You know what I'm saying? Like, something negative about you? Of course. I'm about this money. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm about getting to the money. I'm about getting to the business. I don't hold negative feelings about anything anybody said about me. Like I said, I don't forget that you said it.
Starting point is 00:53:54 But to not forgive you is just bitter. And I'm not a, you know, bitter hearted person. When it came to it, you know, you had people picking sides or whatever and not knowing the real of what happened. Right? And some of these people you were friends with, you know, I mean, how does that affect your relationship moving on when it comes to it? The way it's painted in the media, you know, they would have you thinking that nobody to me. But like I talked to everybody that I've spoke to before, you know, and even throughout this, there was moments when it was a little bit more like crucial to go out in public and do certain things because you know and it wasn't that people had an issue with me it's just people didn't want a backlash coming from something that you know they weren't involved in or whatever the case is and I think that just for me like I've always been a guy that's been good at assessing
Starting point is 00:54:38 the situation and kind of seeing like you know who moves a certain way. And like I said, it all falls down to this. It's like, I forgive, but I don't forget. And how did you not fold, right? And everybody can say, oh, I'm not a fold. I'm strong. I'm going to stay in 10 feet down. But that's bulls**t when it comes to most things, right? And the reason I say that is because they, you know,
Starting point is 00:54:58 tried to ban you DJs from playing your records. And who knows who they is? But, you know, they tried to make sure that your record wasn't spent on radio. They tried to ban you from clubs and venues and performances. So how do you not fold when all that's going into play?
Starting point is 00:55:13 I mean... Because there was a time when **** was not **** with Tory Lanez. Of course. They was not gonna play your records. And it was that
Starting point is 00:55:18 late in time. But you never buckled. I always kind of felt like the world didn't **** with me before that. So it's like, it's never affected me But I will take you into my world for a split second, right?
Starting point is 00:55:28 You know when you do something f***ed up Before you do that, you can't say the world didn't f*** with you, right? Pandemic time No, I don't mean You created something in the pandemic that the world f***ed with Of course, of course Yeah, definitely I mean, that was two, three months
Starting point is 00:55:42 Which was amazing, like, you feel me? But I just saying like just in the overall like you know when like you have a day that something happens on the internet and like you said you know a bunch of people will start making memes and laughing and da da da da and you feel like oh my gosh it's the end of the world you gotta understand like i've i've learned to live over there like a million people that are hating on you or whatever imagine that for two and a half three years straight it's like you get to a point where it's like it's kind of normal for me like you know what i'm saying and i know artists are always like yo i'm not scared of the comments or i i love my haters i i i they see three four five ten comments saying the same thing you look
Starting point is 00:56:22 at it and you're like damn like as an artist i need to pay attention to whatever it's like if you post a picture right now and you got 2 000 comments but 20 of those comments that are like back to back happen to be like yo envy your nose is big as bro you might look in the mirror and be like yo is my nose really really big as let me see. But over a period of time, a million people telling you this every single day, you start to be like, well, if my nose is big, so be it. I'm not tripping on that.
Starting point is 00:56:53 You know, you start to accept whatever flaws that people are trying to pick at you, and then it gets to this point where you really actually don't care about, like, the hatred or whatever the case is. I kind of live over here. I'm not allowed to live in that place where artists live, where it's like, yo, if I just keep doing something good and the people are just going to love me and da-da-da-da-da, it's more so like whatever I'm doing, I'm going to hate it regardless. But I'm going to keep on going.
Starting point is 00:57:19 And my mindset is so tunnel vision on that that nothing really bothers me but the new project in all your music do you feel like no matter how great the music is right it'll always get blocked out from the other stuff i mean for now while i'm in the situation that i'm in again i bring you into my world it's like i'm making that's fire and knowing like yo this is not getting playlisted this is not going where you know know, it's a dance. You could be like, I'm making fire, but it'd be like, nobody gonna play. But here's the difference, right? Is that my mind and my hustle and my drive is so deep. And the people around me care so much about us just popping and getting our stuff done that I don't run into situations where it's like,
Starting point is 00:58:06 well, damn, this is going to slow me down. Now I'm like, well, all that means is I just need to do double what the artist is doing. I need to do double the amount of volume to reach what they're reaching because they're doing it through an algorithmic playlist, I'm getting these numbers now organically. So now what artists are getting from these editorial playlists, I'm actually touching organically. You got to understand, like, I got 16 point something million monthly listeners on Spotify. When I'm looking at other artists, it's not even like it's like half of what I have. But it goes to show you that the volume, the dedication, the amount of times I'm going at other artists it's not even like it's like half of what I have but it goes to show
Starting point is 00:58:45 you that the volume the dedication the amount of times I'm gonna keep striking I'm not gonna stop and I'm gonna keep making hot I'm not a one-hit wonder I'm someone who knows how to make music so to me it just gives me extra drive it's like all right cool I just gotta work triple times the average artist but that's never been an issue for me it's like no matter what you put in front of me i'm lying hearted all right we got more with tori lanes when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with tori lanes you know we're artists now it seems like every judge da prosecutor goes through their songs to try to connect something.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Do you have to be careful what you write in your song? Because you're like, oh, they might try to use this and say this is concerning to this, especially for somebody that doesn't know our culture. I don't really say wild s*** in my music like that to that point. I'm more concerned about what I got to say on Twitter. Like, I got to, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:59:43 And that's another thing. I know, you know, time after time, there's and that's another thing. I know, you know, time after time, there's always a time when a story will come out about Tory Lanez. And then the narrative will be wild.
Starting point is 00:59:52 As much as I would like, like, love to tell y'all this is a narrative, I can't. I'm not allowed to. I'm in an open case. Until that's done, there's gonna be
Starting point is 01:00:00 a couple narratives that you're just not gonna get because I can't speak about them. So it's like, I don't play around or dance around those lines or try to play with those people over there. It's like, nah. So when you see some of these blogs,
Starting point is 01:00:12 you'll be like, well, Tori said this is the song. He must be concerning. He must be advising to this. You'll be like, oh, here I go again. I'm going to get in trouble for something that I didn't even do. Well, nah. I just go, well, there's another story I can't talk about. Whatever the narrative is that they're saying, I got to run with it.
Starting point is 01:00:27 And I got to wait till there's a time when I can talk about it. So now that this album is coming out this Friday and you're kicked off the tour. Hold on. I'm just joking. I want you to explain it now. We're not going to get into this deep, but I was never on a tour. You did three dates. I did.
Starting point is 01:00:40 That was it. Two dates. Two dates. They called me for the third one, but we canceled. It wasn't enough money. I'm not being funny. I know the story. And I love rock.
Starting point is 01:00:49 You know what I'm saying? It's not one of those things where I'm trying to disrespect or whatever the case is. But if we're just being honest, I do real tours. I really sell tickets for real, for real, by myself. So you did two shows. I wouldn't be on an R&B tour with a comedy thing. I like the way that they did it. I thought it was dope. Like, yo, you do these two shows. I wouldn't be on an R&B tour with a comedy thing. I just, I liked the way that they did it. I thought it was dope.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Like, yo, you do these two shows? I did it. I wasn't really contracted to do a tour. Yeah, and it was two songs each. Yeah, it wasn't supposed to be some set. Like, nah, they could only afford two songs. I mean, like, you got to understand, like, if I'm going to go for 30, 40 minutes, it's going to cost somebody around $150, something like that. If it's a full set, 60 minutes, it's going to cost you around $2 something.
Starting point is 01:01:31 You got $40,000 for me. It's going to get you two songs. You did two songs. You weren't supposed to be on the third date, and you're not on that tour. You weren't on that tour. I didn't even know that was a tour. I just thought it was a weekend that they were doing, you know, which, again, there's always a time when there's no tour I didn't even know that was a tour I just thought it was a weekend that they were doing you know which again
Starting point is 01:01:46 there's always a time when there's a narrative and like I said I gotta watch it and be like ah even me like
Starting point is 01:01:55 talking about it now I'm not trying to wake nobody up and start something new or whatever you know what I'm saying I just be trying to stay out the way
Starting point is 01:02:01 like are there ways that you feel like you should move a little differently being that every time something happens, like I saw the article in Madame Noir, it's like mute Tory Lanez after the August Alcina incident. But do you feel like, OK, you know, there's this like aggressive aura that people are saying this is how Tory Lanez is. And so being that you have some open cases, there's no aggressive. There's no aggressive there's no aggressive
Starting point is 01:02:25 aura about me there's aggressive narratives that are only told by one side anybody who really knows me or seen me or is around me is like one of the most gentle nicest people in the world and i say that just because like i'm a good place too much like i'm always laughing i'm always joking around i don't i'm not a guy who's just tough interior. I never portrayed to be a gangster. I stand on business and I stand on positivity, but I stand on what's right at the end of the day. The difference is, in the last two, three years, is that it's not that Tory Lanez has gotten more aggressive. It's that stories come out and Tory Lanez can't explain himself no more.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Tory Lanez is a very outspoken person. I'm always there to be like, nah, no, this is what happened. Stop. But I'm not allowed to do certain things. Certain things correlate to this and that and then people that don't need to be looking into this start looking into that and this and then it turns into something.
Starting point is 01:03:20 I see you still got that Playboy earring on. So let me ask you this. I'm still a Playboy, baby. Exactly. But then you have a song on the album, right, where it's called This Ain't Working,
Starting point is 01:03:30 and I'm like, does Tory Lanez want to settle down and get married and have a bride, but then you have other songs where you're like... You seen the picture
Starting point is 01:03:36 with some people out and about, too. But then you have other songs where you're, you know, just being a guy running around doing him and f***ing her and her friends
Starting point is 01:03:45 and everybody else. So what does Terry Lanez really want? I'm 30 years old. Can I not? But I'm just saying, it's 20 songs on the album, so we get both of those things. Is that something that you struggle with
Starting point is 01:03:57 within yourself? On one hand, maybe I want to be... I don't know if I'm super great with commitment in relationships. I seen you in five pictures. I don't know if I'm like super great with like commitment in relationships I seen you in five pictures now five pictures with the same person
Starting point is 01:04:10 it's starting to feel like it's almost a relationship I mean like like you know whatever if you got your opinion on whoever you're seeing me with
Starting point is 01:04:19 but I mean like I'm just talking about in my real personal life like I think that I have an issue sometimes with commitment i mean why is that it's hard to find somebody who matches my speed you know i'm a real like rock
Starting point is 01:04:30 star and sometimes like the things that i do are just like really spontaneous and i don't think i found my person that's like exactly like me you know what i'm saying and maybe it's not maybe i'm not supposed to be trying to find a person that's exactly like me maybe it's supposed to be like climbing to the top rafters of the clubs performing anymore no i am oh boy oh i am oh i am i just uh you know things things things change i do i do look at you know certain things differently um just as i get older and i do see myself settling down though don't get it twisted like i don't feel like I'm going to be a bachelor playboy my whole life or some wild shit like that.
Starting point is 01:05:09 I know I'm, you know, eventually going to start getting up there. And so my thing is, is like I just want to find something that's my speed. And I think that when it happens,
Starting point is 01:05:18 it'll happen. Would you define yourself as toxic when it comes to relationships? Nah, I'm not the toxic one. I don't ever feel. That's what most toxic guys say. You know what I feel like, though?
Starting point is 01:05:28 And all people who've been in a relationship can relate to this in some sort of way. I feel like I have a problem with trying to fix people. And then I end up in some toxic s***, like, for trying to fix this person. Like, you know what I'm saying? Or trying to be with a person that I know that they just don't get it because someone never really told them the right way. I'm one of those people. And then I realize, yo, I'm in some wild shit. Give me an example
Starting point is 01:05:50 of how you would want to fix somebody. No, I just feel like sometimes when I meet people who don't have enough love in their life or they're just lonely or super not confident. I hate when I meet a beautiful girl who's not confident.
Starting point is 01:06:06 It makes me just want to be like, yo, let me just take you out on the town and just show you who you are. Like, you know what I'm saying? But then you wind up hurting them all because you take them out on the time. They fall in love with the guy, but you're not ready to settle down.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Nah, but you know what I think it is? I think in the process of me trying to give that extra arm of support and love or whatever it is that a lot of times people are not ready for it. And it's like the reaction to it because it's something that they never got. You know, it's like a shock to them or something like that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Because usually that stems from somewhere. And if you can't work on that and someone's just trying to say, here, this is what you deserve.
Starting point is 01:06:43 This is what you need. But you still don't feel that because of whatever. there's no way you can accept that like i'm uh what was the word empath where you feel like what everybody like when i talk to people and this could just be regular people too like even if i see a bum on the street or if i see a homeless person on the street or something like that and they tell me yo they've genuinely given me a story that's like and i just be like them. Like, I really feel for that person
Starting point is 01:07:06 and I think that that'd be my problem in relationships is that sometimes I feel too deep into people's, like, past and I want to help them change their,
Starting point is 01:07:14 you know, their outlook but it's like, that's some things that's just not of you that they're for, you know, other people to kind of
Starting point is 01:07:21 get over themselves, you know what I'm saying? And for other people to go through themselves. Alright, well keep it locked. We got more with Tory Lanez when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 01:07:32 We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Tory Lanez. Do you feel like you're underrated or you don't get the amount of love and respect that you should as an artist? I think people would say I'm underrated. I rate myself 10 out of 10 as you should you know and i think that at the end of the day as long as i feel that way the realization of the world
Starting point is 01:07:51 will come there was a time when i didn't think that i was rated enough to be on the breakfast club or i didn't think that i was popping enough to be here like four times i'm sorry i'm saying there was a time before my first interview here you You know what I'm saying? I used to be watching this like, yo, when I get to that point, I'll be popping enough to do X, Y, Z. But if I ever stuck on that thought, I would have never got here. So just the thought of like being underrated to me is not a real thing to me. I want to denounce that away from me. You know what I'm saying? I'm not underrated.
Starting point is 01:08:22 You know, my time is going to come when it comes. And that's just it Now when DaBaby Did a song with you Years ago You know People got mad at DaBaby For doing the song
Starting point is 01:08:31 Then he released a song The Boogeyman recently And now Everybody hates DaBaby again What was your thoughts When he releases music And he talks about his life Because people do it all the time
Starting point is 01:08:39 Everybody hates DaBaby Well they're upset with him For a record he released And be messy today I'm just asking some questions That's all I don't think everybody Hates DaBaby That's, they're upset with him for a record he released. And be messy today. I'm just asking some questions, that's all. I don't think everybody hates DaBaby. That's the way that they paint things. You know, you got to realize that there's people out here
Starting point is 01:08:52 that spend money to push narratives into your face and make you feel a certain way. If I spend $10,000 on a post and I'm a major label or if I'm a major corporation and I spend $100,000 on a post, that's like, yo, this guy is wrong. Over a period of time, you're going to be bringing while you keep seeing that. You're going to think, like you said, well, everybody hates this guy. Everybody doesn't hate that guy. Everybody doesn't hate whatever person they're saying, I feel like when you go outside into the world and you see how people react with you, there's a big difference between the Internet and people.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Now, aside from music, what are some other things that you are dipping your finances into? I don't want to fully say it, but I am definitely in the medical field now. And I think in a major way that's going to affect our culture and our community just for years upon years and generations after this. How did that happen? When I was in this situation that I was in, I started looking at things like, you know, if they were to ever be able to take this from me. Just in case, you know what I'm saying? Just in case. Let me make sure, you know, I'm being smart. I'm being an entrepreneur.
Starting point is 01:10:10 And it woke up this energy in me that I've never experienced before. Also, I'm doing this TV show, too. Okay. I've been shooting this TV show. What's it about? It's actually based off this song that I had called Pieces. And it's like a story about a girl who got raped by her uncle. And she turns into the street and it's just like a lot of different stories
Starting point is 01:10:29 that kind of come into one as different pieces of the story. But I just wanted to be able to do something that was dope and show off my acting skills because I got tired of not getting the roles for some of these big films. I would be auditioning. Were you auditioning?
Starting point is 01:10:44 Yeah. What's the biggest role you auditioned for? No, I was auditioning these big films. Like, I would be, like, auditioning for... Were you auditioning? Yeah, I was... What's the biggest role you auditioned for? No, I was auditioning for big stuff. I did the... I almost got the role for... What was it?
Starting point is 01:10:52 King Richard? The Will Smith movie. What part? I was supposed to be the aggressor. The dude who got shot up at the corner store. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:00 They had me read for his parts. And every time I've done like a power I was supposed to do Joey Badass part okay you know he does an amazing job
Starting point is 01:11:10 in that role no he does he does an incredible job but like that type of character every time I've always like read I've always gotten called
Starting point is 01:11:18 like multiple times you might need to play a nice guy or something to change this whole narrative you might have to I mean art is art a cop maybe
Starting point is 01:11:24 art is art you know what I'm saying to go in there because it's like to play a nice guy or something to change this whole narrative. You might have to be a cop maybe. Nah, art is art. You know what I'm saying? To go in there because it's like you're accomplished. No. Now you're going
Starting point is 01:11:31 in front of people and you know what Tori Lanez. I look at things that exact way. I'm not Tori Lanez. I don't expect no special treatment.
Starting point is 01:11:39 But because of that, I always had incredible self-tapes. They brought me back for that part about three times. Don't get it twisted. Which one? The power one?
Starting point is 01:11:47 Yeah, they brought me back. They made me talk to the main lady. You know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day, like I said, I feel like my time will come. You're going to see me on screen and be like, yo, I ain't going to lie. He could have played that role too. But my thing is, like I said, the time will come. And everything that I never got, I always just taught myself how to do. too but my thing is is like you know like i said like the time will come and and like everything
Starting point is 01:12:05 that i never got i always just taught myself how to do like when they told me oh i'm not singing on your song because you're not a big enough rapper i taught myself how to sing i sucked at singing before when a video guy wouldn't shoot my videos i taught myself how to shoot i taught myself how to edit when a producer wouldn't produce my music i taught myself how to produce on fruity loops when they wouldn't record me music, I taught myself how to produce on Fruity Loops. When they wouldn't record me, I bought Pro Tools and learned it myself.
Starting point is 01:12:28 So when they told me I'm not going to get the role for these Will Smith movies and these da-da-da-das, I'm going to do it myself. Okay. You know, I'm on set playing five jobs,
Starting point is 01:12:37 being director, editor, and actor, but the hard work is going to pay off because at the end of the day, I believe in myself. You know what I'm saying? And would you want to sign a major label deal if somebody came at you or are you feeling like you're
Starting point is 01:12:50 making too much? I know you've said that, but have things changed? Somebody might come at you with some type of partnership? Somebody offered you a wild check a couple of years ago. They offered me a wild check, but y'all got to understand, while everybody was saying who's going to sign them and who's going to... Y'all got to understand, that year, saying, who's going to sign them and who's going to?
Starting point is 01:13:05 Y'all got to understand that year, I signed probably the biggest deal that year. Like as far as just distribution and on a distribution independent arm. My was 18.7 million dollars that I signed for 22 months of distribution, not of major label obligations of distribution. I don't need to play this game with y'all. Like, you know what I'm saying? I don't need to play this game with y'all because I'm silently going to do what I do. Sorry for what?
Starting point is 01:13:32 Are you good at apologizing? If I have to, yeah. And I know when I need to apologize. I'm not a d***head. I'm not somebody who, you know, can't apologize or, like, doesn't know when he's wrong. Like, you know, I know when I be wrong. And when I'm wrong, I can take up for it for sure and i gotta ask this how's your hair holding
Starting point is 01:13:48 up i was gonna say you gotta apologize to our camera guy i do apologize you know what i'm saying he got the crazy one like yo but i because i was so sincere when i was telling him like yo you come over that camera nah but, but all up. It's good. I'm actually you know what's crazy, Angela? I'm trying something brand new right now and it's not into full form for like fermentation but
Starting point is 01:14:14 I've been dealing with these things. But I've been dealing with them for a reason. Because me, I am going to be what is like the messiah of black people and colored people getting their hair back. So is this the medical thing you're working on? Just feel me for a second, bro. Can y'all feel me?
Starting point is 01:14:33 But you're not ready to take that off. I'm not in a good hair day right now. I still need to brush my hair. I woke up and just came here. But look, I'm going to grow my hair, right? But I'm doing it with a product that I've created. I talk to the African ladies, the Haitian ladies, the Dominican ladies, everything.
Starting point is 01:14:50 And I've learned that all of the things for your hair that you need naturally for your hair to grow are in the earth. I don't know the name for it yet. It's a game changer. But I promise you guys, I'm coming back with the cream and the stuff that's going to make your hair come back.
Starting point is 01:15:05 And you're going to know it's authentic because y'all seen the patch head. Y'all seen the s*** that I had to go through. You feel me? And it'll be good for our edges, too. I know you like wearing our edges. The edges, everything. That's the whole thing. It works for you.
Starting point is 01:15:16 It works for Charlamagne. I believe it. It's going to work for Charlamagne. And that's insane. Because he's tried everything. Yeah, he's tried everything. He got like the RoboCop. I got him.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Like the George Jefferson. I got him. I got him. Like the George Jefferson. Nah, I got him. I got him. And you know what else is crazy? That's another thing I wanted to say on the medical side. The doctor that did my hair originally and showed me like, yo, you can do hair restoration and stuff like that. I'm actually going to team up with him,
Starting point is 01:15:38 and we're going to bring hair restoration down to Miami to the medical stuff that I was telling you about. Okay. So yeah, so I'll be like one of the first hip-hop artists to bring hair restoration, like, in real reality, like, with the machines and the doctors and actually, yeah, like, help people really get their edges back without their cream and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:15:56 You know what I mean? The cream will be secondary. This is a game-changer for a lot of you guys out here. I'm trying to tell you. I'm trying to tell you. It's like a BBL for men. Shut up, man. Sorry for what is out tomorrow. What you want to tell you. I'm trying to tell you. It's like a BBL for men. Shut up, man. Sorry for what is out tomorrow.

Starting point is 01:16:24 Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee. well this has really turned into a story about danny lay uh doing while and out and requesting that b simone not be present when she filmed so here's what b simone had to say in response to all of that while she was on tamron hall is it true they took you off the show you know what i'm going to answer that very simply it is true but we're going to have grace for that situation um i don't agree with it but i understand it especially you know she's not that mature so we're just going to have grace for her and move forward wow all right i didn't know terminope did that yesterday that was fast yeah she wasn't playing all right lani love
Starting point is 01:17:11 went on social media here again producers are at fault for this they gave no loyalty for a regular cast member who shows up for them if you are a regular on a show guess either come on or not there are plenty others that would love to fill the spot. I literally said that yesterday. I said that yesterday. That is the producer's fault because B. Simone is there every day. She's a regular cast member and you choose an artist over me?
Starting point is 01:17:35 I'd feel a way if I was B. Simone. Yeah, and that's what I said yesterday. I said that people are saying Danny Layton, but if Danny Layton and B. Simone don't get along and Danny Layton says, no, I don't feel comfortable, the show should have said, well, if you don't want her here, well, then you just don't come. You're right. B. Simone don't get along. And Danny Lay says, no, I don't feel comfortable. The show should have said, well, if you don't want her here, well, then you just don't come. Like, you're right. B. Simone been doing that show for how many episodes?
Starting point is 01:17:50 A zillion. They didn't show no loyalty to her. And I don't care who the artist is. I don't care if it's Danny Lay or, you know, somebody bigger than Danny Lay. You have to show loyalty to the person that's there for you all the time, which is the member of the cast. All right. Well, here's what Dani Leigh had to say on her behalf
Starting point is 01:18:07 as people were going at her, and you heard B. Simone say that she was immature. So the situation, I just feel like, from the jump, it was never a demand. I don't know why the blogs are seeding it out to put it out that I demanded B. Simone not to be on Wildin' Out. It wasn't the case. Wild N' Out asked me. I love Wild N' Out shows. I always supported Nick. I've always supported the
Starting point is 01:18:31 comedians on the show. So, you know, me and B. Simone are not cool. So I just, my team asked if it's cool she doesn't do the episode that I do, respectfully. It was never anything to be like, I'm a diva, I don't want. I thought it'd be more mature to have us not sitting next to each other on a show, making it mad, awkward, and uncomfortable. Also, Daniella should have never had that option. Like, there should have never been an option for her to. She also goes on to say that she saw text messages between the baby and B. Simone in the past, but she never mentioned it. And she said she is handling this situation maturely because she's not putting all that information out there and keeping it to herself.
Starting point is 01:19:12 And she also said that B. Simone made a whole diss song about her. And here's that song that she speaks of. Diamonds on pneumonia, yeah, it's silent, but I'm pushing P. No, I don't want your baby daddy, swear I'm way too P. Relax, I'm way too G, plus I'm trying to keep the peace. Don't get loud, have a seat, you are being number three, number three. Has Danny Lay ever seen Wild N' Up? Like, be some more with a did that type of freestyle towards her on that stage. That's what this show is. I mean, I guess it's also the text messages that she says that she saw probably played a part in that stage. That's what this show is. I mean, I guess it's also the text messages that she
Starting point is 01:19:45 says that she saw probably played a part in that also. But she's not even with the baby no more. This was at the time. This was not now, though. This is when she was. They just finished taping. They just taped a month ago. I thought this is when she was with him. Oh, I thought they just finished taping. They just finished taping like a month ago
Starting point is 01:20:01 while or not. They taped all last month. I thought that was the recent season. I thought this was an old episode that they were talking about. Oh, I didn't know. I know that they just finished taping two seasons. I think they taped seasons 19 and 20. In fact, drop on the clues, Mom, for Wild N' Out, by the way.
Starting point is 01:20:17 20 years? Yeah. The upcoming season's in 19 and 20. Does anybody know? Is this a new episode or is this something old that they just came back up? This is your rumor report. I don't know. I mean, this whole time
Starting point is 01:20:29 I thought they were talking about something that happened before. This whole time. Yeah, I thought it was new. The only reason I thought it was new because they just literally,
Starting point is 01:20:37 I mean, when I say they literally just finished taping, they just finished taping Wild N' Out like last week. And like you said, Charlamagne, they shouldn't have the option. I mean, behind the scenes, you know how many times
Starting point is 01:20:46 labels, publicists, or anybody hit us and say, hey, this artist wants to come, but you can't ask this question or you can't do that, or you can't say this or you can't talk about that. And we either say, no, we're going to talk about what we want to talk about or we just decline the interview. And that's happened to a bunch of big
Starting point is 01:21:01 interviewers, big artists that are supposed to come up here. We just said no. All right. So maybe they did tape one recently. She's been on before, though. So I don't know if this is from the past or whatever, but she's been on in 2019. And then she also was on, I guess, recently. They just finished taping.
Starting point is 01:21:20 Like they just taped a whole month. And I think they were in Atlanta. Two seasons seasons seasons 19 and 20 when i when i say they literally just finished like last week they literally just finished like last week yeah so she made her second appearance on while and now and she said she didn't want to film her episode with b simone so okay all right so there it is so i guess this is from the second episode i'm not sure but um speaking of the baby he reacted to his first his uh first week sales forecast for his new album baby on baby too he posted on social media not bad for the blackballed baby because it was an
Starting point is 01:21:59 article that baby on baby too is on pace to sell 16 000 units in the first week so i guess he is saying he's black but i know envy you said that as we were talking to tori lanes yeah i said it to tori lanes you got that play jonathan was always good with the numbers won't worry about yeah i said that tori lanes it seems like people you know want to hate on the baby don't want to goddamn thing about me for you. I used to kiss my damn ass even at the Grammys. Yeah, I let my lover pants down. Yeah, I said that to Tori Lanez. It seems like people, you know, want to hate on the baby. Don't want to play his records. Don't want to support him.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Not talking about him. Tori said I was bugging, but obviously you can see it's true. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss E.E. Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to? Man, four after the hour, man.
Starting point is 01:22:48 We need to have a brother named Ashef. I think that's how you pronounce his name. He needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with him because he just proved a whole lot of people right. We'll discuss. All right. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:22:58 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Our honorable pick of the day is monsters and how to tame them. Hear Kevin Hart's hilarious and smart advice on low self-esteem. Start listening when you sign up for a free 30-day trial at the home of storytelling. Audible.com slash Breakfast Club. You are a donkey.
Starting point is 01:23:26 It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap them gloves. Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day. They chose you.
Starting point is 01:23:40 It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Yes, Donkey of the Day for Thursday, September 29th goes to a man named Ashef. Ashef is a registered sex offender from Chicago. He, along with other convicted sex offenders, were featured on a Vice documentary that was chronicling the story of convicted sex offenders who said they have had to serve additional time in prison or what they call dead time because of the restrictive housing laws that prohibit them from living in many areas of the country. I never heard of dead time and this is why documentaries are important because they are really good sources of information. Our chef served six years of dead
Starting point is 01:24:16 time in prison on top of his initial sentence of nine years behind bars after being convicted of forcing oral sex on a woman and penetrating her with his fingers when he was just 15 years old now in illinois convicted sex offenders who are are legally required to put their names on a registry and they're often banned from obtaining housing in areas near schools daycares and playgrounds which keeps them from living in highly populated areas that could offer places of employment now i need you to follow me with this story because it's a thing, right? That's why they made the documentary. Advocates for prison reform claim that sex offenders are unjustly punished even after being locked up. But on the other side, supporters of the rules
Starting point is 01:25:00 governing registries say that the measures are necessary to mitigate the risk posed by convicted sex offenders in the community so one topic two sides in the documentary the narrator says in illinois if you can't find a house that meets the rules you stay in prison our chef told vice that he was sent back to prison because he couldn't find housing that would accept the parolee and a convicted felon our chef wason. A chef was released from prison with just a bus ticket, and he got to make it on his own with no ID and no family. He was also required to wear an ankle monitor to track his movements. He also told Vice that he has filled out some 50 job applications and walked into 20 places
Starting point is 01:25:42 and asked if they were looking for workers, and he hasn't had no success. Okay, Ishaf said he is open and willing to work anywhere, doing almost anything that can put some money in his pocket and allow him to pay his rent and be self-sufficient. One of the main reasons he needs to make money is that he needs to pay a $100 fee to even register as a sex offender. Okay, Ishaf clearly doesn't have the money, and he said that if he cannot afford the expenses
Starting point is 01:26:05 that come with traveling to and from a special class that is required for sex offenders, then he is in danger of going back to prison simply because he can't afford the fees associated with his post-release requirements. Wow. Now, I know what you might be wondering. Well, why the hell is I should get in donkey today?
Starting point is 01:26:26 I see some people saying vice clearly has made a piece that makes some folks feel sympathetic to reintegrating sex offenders into society. That's part of it. But to me, this doc is more about the judicial system and how the judicial system does continue to punish people even after serving their incarceration. But I'll tell you this, if you did have sympathy for Aishif, if you found yourself on Aishif's side, if you found yourself on the side of the prison reform advocates that say sex offenders are unjustly punished and you were frowning at the people who say the measures are necessary to mitigate the risk posed by convicted sex offenders, well, then you might rethink that stance. Why, Uncle Charlotte? What did he do? Well, let's go back to this one part of the Vice Doc to find out. We all out here in this world, and we all got to make it happen,
Starting point is 01:27:13 and it ain't nothing stopping me. So, like, I'm very hopeful and confident. After this interview, a chief sent a picture of his penis to our producer. That was Ashif, you know, talking about, you know, how he's still going to push through. Can we play it again, please? We all out here in this world and we all got to make it happen. And ain't nothing stopping me. So, like, I'm very hopeful and confident. After this interview, Ashif sent a picture of his penis to our
Starting point is 01:27:45 producer. He sent a picture of his penis to the producer. A rehab sex offender, and I put rehab in air quotes, who's on a vice doc speaking about being unjustly punished, knowing that there's people out there who say these rules that are unjustly punishing
Starting point is 01:28:03 you are not unjust because they mitigate the risk that sex offenders pose. That man sent a penis pic to the producer of said documentary, which, by the way, is a crime in Chicago. It's called cyber flashing and it's illegal in Chicago by city ordinance. OK, he claimed through his lawyer that the photo was sent by mistake. I don't know if it was really sent by mistake, but it was indeed a mistake, a mistake that makes it bad for everyone who was getting treated unjustly by the judicial system because it makes all the people who support the law say, see, these are the risks that sex offenders pose because this guy is sending pics to a producer on a dock that's actually trying to help. Some donkey of the days just saw themselves. Please give this man a sheaf, the sweet chimes, and the hammer tones.
Starting point is 01:28:47 After this interview. And you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. You want to play a game? No, Envy. I will not. You want to play a game?
Starting point is 01:29:17 Okay. I guess we could play a game of Guess What Racist. Sorry, give my clues. His name is Ashif. Black. Ashif. Damn, damn, damn.
Starting point is 01:29:34 Oh, God. All right. And DJ Envy says black. Angel Lee, his name is Ashif. He's a registered sex offender from Chicago. He was on this documentary, and he sent a picture of his penis to the producer of said doc. Guess what race he is. He's African-American, but I will say I already have seen the story.
Starting point is 01:29:59 So, in all fairness, I saw this on social media, and I already know. It wasn't on purpose. I just happened to have seen it already. Okay. Well, both of you are correct. No. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Ambie saw it already, too.
Starting point is 01:30:14 No, I didn't. What, the picture? No, I didn't see the picture. You didn't see the story? No, I just heard his name, Ashif. I thought you were talking about the penis picture. Could be anything. No, I didn't see the penis picture.
Starting point is 01:30:25 All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today penis picture. Could be anything. No, I didn't see the penis picture. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Yes, indeed. Now, when we come back, Noah Kerner will be joining us. He's from Acorns. He's the owner of Acorns. He's the CEO of Acorns. But by the way, colorful background because he also was a DJ for J-Lo when he was a teenager.
Starting point is 01:30:42 And now he has Acorns, which is a great investing app. They have that roundup feature that people love so you can learn more about that. As you know financial wellness is important to all of us. All right so we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Who we got? The CEO of Acorns, Noah Kerner. Welcome.
Starting point is 01:31:10 Or DJ Noah. Oh, you used to DJ for J-Lo, right? Yeah. Okay. You said right like you remember. You would see him behind J-Lo. I did. Shut up, man.
Starting point is 01:31:19 He used to be in the Bronx all the time. He was never in the Bronx. He was definitely in the Bronx. He's the one who coined the term Jenny from the Bronx. That's right. Jenny from the block. Or whatever. Jenny from the Bronx. He was never in the Bronx. He was definitely in the Bronx. He's the one who coined the term Jenny from the Bronx. That's right. Jenny from the block. Or whatever. Jenny from the Bronx.
Starting point is 01:31:28 Used to do block parties. Right, Noah? Right. See? He's never seen you before. Yes, I have. He built the ark. Yo, shut up, man.
Starting point is 01:31:37 So, Noah, how did you get into, you started off as a DJ. So how did you get into DJ? I grew up in the city downtown on the east side. I was a public school kid, you know, just surrounded by it. And I got into it just by watching it. I was fascinated by it.
Starting point is 01:31:52 I loved the beats mostly. That was for me. And I just got turntables when I was 13. It was drums or turntables. My father said turntables probably makes more sense. We were in like an 800 square foot apartment so drums probably would have been too crazy and loud and loud so i got turntables and just started like committing myself to it for two years i locked myself in my bedroom every night
Starting point is 01:32:16 watched all the battle tapes i watched cubert i want you know scratch uber premiere all these guys right and and just and just kept working at it. And then, you know, mostly my friends thought I was going to be terrible. So that meant I had to be great at it. So by 16, I started doing nightclubs. And that was it. That was the journey. Not even old enough to drink, but going to the clubs and DJing.
Starting point is 01:32:41 Exactly. Benny, Medina, her manager. So I was doing a lot of clubs and parties, and then I started doing some parties for her, and then she had me join her band to play shows. And how was that? How was that experience? Traveling the country.
Starting point is 01:32:54 It was incredible. That and touring with other people, it was incredible to see kind of what America looked like because I was a city kid. I didn't really know anything else about America, so I got to see how America is. And that was the beginning for me of like of understanding how this country works, how, you know, the conditions people are in. So that was that was a really interesting experience. Were you familiar with DJ Envy? A little bit, a little bit.
Starting point is 01:33:19 But I was gonna lie. No, you don't have to. I'm a New York legend. Yeah, lie, Noah. Noah, you don't have to lie. I'm a New York legend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's here. That's the bubble we're in. Clearly not. New York legend. I don't know if you know him.
Starting point is 01:33:32 I'm in the Radio Hall of Fame. I don't know if you know him. You know DJ Clu? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No hesitation. No, no, no. That's not fair.
Starting point is 01:33:40 That's not fair. That's not fair. I see what you did. That's not right. That's Clu's son. That's more of his age group, though. That's Klu, like, when he grew up on Klu. Klu's on your age. No, he's not.
Starting point is 01:33:48 Klu's older than me. He's like 47, bro. That wasn't fair. That wasn't fair. He's older than me. That wasn't fair what you did. What? No, Klu put it in me on, though.
Starting point is 01:33:56 Oh, he did? Yeah, yeah. He learned how to DJ from Klu. Yeah. Oh, now you don't want to give Klu credit? No, this man waiting for the stack. There is no stack. Waiting for the stack.
Starting point is 01:34:03 So did you... Klu grew up on the same block. In Queens. He taught me how to DJ. Did you always know that you had... Oh, go ahead. No's no staff. There's no way for the staff. So did you... Me and you grew up on the same block. In Queens. And you taught me how to DJ. Did you always know that you had... Oh, go ahead. No, go ahead. I was going to say, did you always know that you were going to go to college?
Starting point is 01:34:10 Because being successful at such a young age, you could have just said, let me just do this DJing thing. It's working for me. I don't need to go to college. I felt like I had to. It was a thing in my house. I felt like everything was working toward college. So I did, yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:24 What school did you go to? Cornell. Oh, you you went to cornell yeah and now how did you get when did you stop djing for j-lo and started getting into acorns and investing or did you not stop or do you still djing for j-lo i'm just curious why so i started my first company at 21 um when i was in in school i did a bunch of internships and i realized i wouldn't be good at working for people. So I started writing my first business plan for the first company at 21 in college. But I was still DJing through like 24, 25 years old, so while I was doing that and building. And it was a good kind of balance, right? Like having the stuff in the day where I was building a business
Starting point is 01:35:01 and then being creative at night, and that was a good balance for me. What was your first business? I was a hip it was the first one-stop shop for hip-hop on the web yeah so we sold everything vinyl fashion all the name of it one level one level how to do it did okay it did okay we ended up shutting it down it was in the middle of the dot-com kind of bubble so So we ended up shutting it down. That was a great experience. You know, it was a painful experience, but it was a great experience. I didn't imagine that I would do what I considered failing. And that was hard to go through, but that prepared, it kind of thickened my skin
Starting point is 01:35:37 and prepared me for the things I was going to build in the future. And, you know, 21-year-old kid, like raising money, building a business, it was tough. So you raised money for that? Yeah. Yeah. So that was through your business plan. You presented that to people and were able to get investors? Yeah. How much money did you raise? Like a million bucks. That's insane. At 21? That's great. When we went to raise the next round of funding, the world had shut down. So I was sitting there in this, we had hired 15, 20 people. We were, you know, we were building this thing and I was sitting there in this, we had hired 15, 20 people. We were, you know,
Starting point is 01:36:09 we were building this thing and I was sitting there and I, I realized I had to shut it down. And that was like, I probably stayed extra long because of the commitment and feeling of responsibility, especially to the investors who I ended up paying back later when I sold my first company, second company, sorry. But that, that was a really formative experience. Like instead of going to business school or anything like that like i felt like um building something at a young age was was um was a good was a good way to to build that muscle and and do it like you know um in the real world what were your steps to get that money because most people especially in our community black and latino they say they would never be able to get a million dollars from anybody.
Starting point is 01:36:45 So how were you able to get that million dollars at age 21 in a new business, the dot-com world? Yeah, by the way, I said that too. I said I would never be able to raise anything. And I didn't come from money. I just called everybody I knew. I co-founded it with a few people. We knocked on every door.
Starting point is 01:37:04 We reached out to everybody it was just kind of going and going and going and it was mostly friends and family and then some bankers and things like this but I didn't think I could raise a dollar either it wasn't I didn't have any experience doing it my parents didn't come from money so it was really about
Starting point is 01:37:20 just persistence what was the second business that you said that was successful because you sold it? Yeah. And before you get to that, I just want to ask you, how do you know when it's time to shut a business down? Because a lot of times you feel like this is something I'm passionate about. Maybe I just need to change this or restructure. But when do you decide this just isn't working?
Starting point is 01:37:38 When you can't pay the rent. There was literally no more money. So we had to shut it down. Right. You know. So we had to shut it down. Right. So that was it. Which I think is, I talk to people a lot about that. Like, how do you know when the right time to move on?
Starting point is 01:37:54 Because persistence is so important. So how do you know? I think for me it was, I just can't afford to pay the rent. Right. It's just not doable. We're getting evicted. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:05 But I was so committed to it that I couldn't stop until I literally couldn't stop. Right. And what was the second business? So that was, it was called Noise. And it started actually in music, which was what I knew. We were helping labels and artists break out into new medium and new environments. But then we caught the attention of corporate America and it became the leading product development
Starting point is 01:38:27 and marketing agency for the young adult space. So we'd get hired basically by everybody to build new products, marketing campaigns, et cetera. And that did well, you know, that did well. And that was, I really cut my teeth, like building, hiring, managing, learning how to operate. It was always, I never, you know, I didn't know what I was doing. In fact, that's been a through line in my career.
Starting point is 01:38:49 Everything I take on, I don't actually have experience in. And that sense of being uncomfortable, being comfortable in the uncomfortable, it's a little bit of a weird fetish, but it's something that works for me. All right, we got more with Noah Kerner when we come back from Acorns, the CEO. So don't move.
Starting point is 01:39:06 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. J.N.V. Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with the CEO of Acorns, Noah Kerner. Yee.
Starting point is 01:39:16 Yeah. I mean, listen, I know that we've talked about Acorns up here before we even knew you as the CEO of Acorns. And a lot of people have said this has actually helped them. Now, in a time like this where people are kind of scared to invest because they might knew you as the CEO of Acorns. And a lot of people have said this has actually helped them. Now, in a time like this, where people are kind of scared to invest, because they might look at the stock market, because we've been talking long term a lot,
Starting point is 01:39:33 and be like, okay, it's down. What do you have to say to people who are like, I've never done this before. I'm scared to do this. I mean, I think everybody's scared to do it for the first time. I was scared to do it for the first time. But when the market's down, that's the bet. When the market's down and when it's volatile, particularly when it's down, it's on sale. I don't think people, you know, people under, so, so when the market, the market
Starting point is 01:39:50 was, the Dow is 36,000 is down now 31,000 something. That's the best time to invest. You know, even if you were in the market and you lost some money, you should never pull out. You should stick with it because if you look back in history every downturn in history has ended in an upturn if you pull out your money then you locked in your losses right if you stuck with it ultimately you know there's no guarantees but every every moment in history shows that the market continues to go up so your money will go back up you will not have lost money and if you can you should you should you should double down when it's down because it's on sale now Now, how much does it cost for Acorns for people who are like,
Starting point is 01:40:28 alright, this sounds interesting. I want to get my feet wet and jump in. How much is it for people to join? We have three tiers. We have $3 a month, $5 a month, and then there's a feature called Acorns Assist, which is $1 a month. So if you're
Starting point is 01:40:43 having economic hardship. I know a lot of people that are actually into Acorn and it helps a dollar a month. So if you're having economic hardship. Well, I know a lot of people that actually are into Acorn and it helps a lot of people. I got to get my kids into Acorn. I know they have a children's program. I think they'll really, really benefit from it. What group of people are the least likely to invest, would you say? Because I know women, I've always heard that women invest a lot less than men do and are a lot more nervous about that. Yeah, women are more risk averse when it comes to investing. They'll tend to save more. So we do a lot of work to try to get, you know, try to get women to invest.
Starting point is 01:41:15 Obviously, Acorns is built for everybody, but women tend to be a little more risk averse. Why do you think that is? I think it's probably just the way society works and how, you know, the constructs people there are Why do you think that is? Everybody should be investing as soon as possible. I don't know exactly why. I just know it's an issue we have to confront. Why didn't y'all go public in January like y'all were supposed to? Because the markets were tough, really tough. So we ended up staying private and we did a private round. It was a really rough time. I think the companies that are public, companies that went public, have struggled a lot.
Starting point is 01:42:00 So I'm really glad we were able to not do that. Is there a plan to go public in the future still? I know you guys did your, yeah. Yeah, we'd love to go public. I mean, for us, being in control of our destiny and being a public company, I think, will be powerful for us. So we would love to do it. Right now, it's tough. The markets are tough.
Starting point is 01:42:17 So we're going to stay private. We're going to keep building, investing in product development. But at some point, our intention is to go public. How does the kids plan work? Just so people know, they might be listening saying, I want to get my kids started to invest as soon as possible. It takes like 30 seconds. So there's an account called Acorns Early. Within 30 seconds, you can open it up for one kid or all your kids. You can automatically contribute. You can start as early as birth. There's some tax advantages to it.
Starting point is 01:42:46 It's really, it's an amazing thing. I mean, one dream I have is like, is every family opening this up for their kids at birth because it would change the future. You know, like a lot of our emphasis going forward is going to be on family and kids. There's just, it's just so, it's tough if you're in your 40s and your 50s,
Starting point is 01:43:04 you can start saving, you start saving and investing spare change. It's a if you're in your 40s and your 50s, you can start saving, you start saving and investing spare change. It's a really good thing to do. But doubling down for your kids and doing it as soon as they're born or one or two or three, plus given the power of compounding and the earlier you start, the better off you are. There's an incredible stat. So if you started doing $5 a day for your kid at birth, by 65, they would have $4.5 million at an average 8% compound rate. If you started at 21, it would be much, much, much less than that. It would be like $1.5 million. So the earlier you can start, the more powerful it is.
Starting point is 01:43:37 And we want to get kids started and get parents investing in their kids as early as possible. What about people who feel like they're in debt and they don't have money to invest? What advice would you give them? Because I remember feeling like I got these student loans I have to pay off. I have to pay my rent. I have to pay my bills. I have to get to work every day.
Starting point is 01:43:54 I have to eat. I just don't have any extra money left over. I have credit card bills. I always say pay off the high-interest stuff as soon as you can. Focus on the credit card, the high interest credit card debt if you can. But because debt is so tough and I think it really impacts people's emotions and it kind of brings you down. Like even if you can do a little bit of spare change, invest a little bit to bring hope into the picture, to give a little bit of optimism. It's a little counterintuitive and a financial advisor would not, you know, they would say pay down all your debt first,
Starting point is 01:44:28 but paying down your debt and being saddled with debt is really upsetting. And so to have some hope and a little bit of optimism is great. So I think investing a tiny bit alongside of paying your high interest debt down is a good strategy for people to balance, not just functionally, but emotionally. Money problems are at the root of divorce, domestic violence, abuse, depression, all these things. So I like to approach it from the perspective of the emotional side of things. Obviously, it's a functional thing. People need money, but you need to consider the impact it has on people's lives. So it's easy to say, well, you should pay off all your high interest debt, but you can spend 40 years doing that. Right. And that's 40 years of being depressed about debt.
Starting point is 01:45:13 And not having anything saved. And not having any sense of hope and optimism and something to look forward to. So that's, you know, I think it's important to have that balance. Right. All right. Well, we appreciate you for joining us. We've been talking about acorns up here for a while now. I've been trying to get Noah to come up here.
Starting point is 01:45:31 I'm like, Noah, when can we get you on The Breakfast Club? So I'm excited that you came through to talk to us. I appreciate you having me on the show. Thank you so much. Thank you. Noah Kerner. Thank you, Noah. Thank you, Noah.

Starting point is 01:46:16 It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. All right, well, Tootsie is talking about taking a break from social media, and he's upset. Apparently, you know, he cheated on his girlfriend. They just had a baby together. Their son is five months old. And he said, F this fame ish, y'all could keep it. He said, this is lame. People love you, then they hate you. And he said he should have just kept his music to himself like I did in the beginning to cope with my problems and to my son.
Starting point is 01:46:43 I love you, man. I won't be nothing like what my dad was to my mom. I love you, mom. And she know that my intention's pure, but the world paint this effed up image of an N-word like I'm supposed to be perfect. And it's a relief to let people know that he's not. Here's what else he had to say. At the end of the day, like I make music. When y'all think of me, I want y'all to think of the music and enjoy the music. And I just want to be an artist. I don't want to be just in a relationship or even like to the fan pages that's out there. That got all the fan pages, the mashup fan pages of me and Shorty. I don't lie. Like, I really wish y'all would take that, take it down.
Starting point is 01:47:18 That relationship. Like, when y'all look at my hashtag, my hashtag Tootsie, the hashtag Tootsie used to be nothing but my music. Yo, you go to my hashtag now, look at this s***. It's dead-ass like me and her. I don't like that s***. Well, sadly, in a perfect world, it would be where it's just about the music. But with social media and, you know, the direct-to-consumer, artist-to-fan relationship, they want a lot more of your personal life.
Starting point is 01:47:44 And, I mean, hell, we giving it to him. I mean, he's online right now explaining, talking to people. That's what people want. They want more of you personally, sadly. Right. And he also said that he stepped away from posting his relationship
Starting point is 01:47:55 and having a relationship. You know, he just wants people to think of his music and he just wants to be an artist. So I'm not sure all of the details of what happened, but on his page, it it says Toosie will no longer be on social media for a while he wants his fans to know he loves them and that he hopes you all are still friends he says he's fine he just wants to clear his head and that everyone should take breaks sometimes he also dropped a surprise song and that song is called the last song also
Starting point is 01:48:20 I'm 44 years old and I can never remember a time where people just cared about, you know, your music or your movies or whatever it is that you did. They always cared about people's personal life. Absolutely. That's what tabloids were before social media. Absolutely. All right. Now, R. Kelly has been ordered to pay up. Also, black men don't cheat.
Starting point is 01:48:38 Okay. That's just not a statement. Those are instructions. Don't cheat. Nothing good comes from it. All right. Okay. Yeah, because there's been a lot going on with y'all. All right, now, R. Kelly has been ordered to pay over $300,000
Starting point is 01:48:51 to one of his alleged sex abuse victims to cover the cost of her herpes and her psychological treatments. Now, this victim is identified only as Jane, and she's going to get that money to cover all of that. And she had to seek out mental health care as a result of the abuse that she faced. The order hasn't been finalized yet, but the U.S. Attorney's Office has confirmed to Complex that the judge ruled that R. Kelly has to pay Jane
Starting point is 01:49:15 and another victim identified as Stephanie. And Kanye West is explaining why Kris Jenner is his Instagram profile picture. Some people thought he was about to go back in on her, but apparently he was paying homage to her. He said, posted Chris with thoughts of peace and respect. Let's change the narrative. So the reason why that's his avatar is, I guess, now out of love.
Starting point is 01:49:40 Chris Jenner is also a gangster too. Don't get that twisted. I saw that last week, you know, on Hell of a Week, when, you know, there was things she didn't want in that Ray J interview, and those things did not end up in that interview. Kris Jenner, she's a gangster. I meant to ask. No problem.
Starting point is 01:49:58 How does she even know what was in the interview? Like, how does she even know? Because I guess you have, you know, TV executives, and I guess you you have you know tv executives and i guess you have you know networks who already don't want the problems because they know her reputation you know so it was like anything that could possibly offend the jenner kardashian clan uh you know can't be in there really oh yeah maybe you should service the uncensored clip somewhere else. No. Why would I make myself liable?
Starting point is 01:50:28 If they're telling me that it could be liable, why would I make myself liable? I didn't think so. But, you know, people sue for less nowadays. Okay. So because it's all allegations, it's a possible lawsuit. I mean, I guess. I mean, they're saying it's allegations. But, I mean, as Ray J said on the show, you know, if what he he's saying isn't true how come he hasn't been sued yet so who knows all right now Kanye
Starting point is 01:50:50 has also hired his sixth divorce lawyer and his ongoing split from Kim Kardashian so now he has another lawyer Robert Stephen Cohen who's out of New York City. And he has a new legal team. This has all been over the past, like, year and a half. We'll see what happens this time. And they can finalize things. All right? And that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.
