Westside Boogie. Westside Boogie will be joining us. Of course, he's an artist from California. I don't know much about the gentleman. I've heard a bunch of his songs, but the Breakfast Club will be talking to him this morning and get to learn him, get to know about him a little bit better. And also, we got a worldwide exclusive. All right, this is Bryson Tiller. Don't they usually release music on Fridays? Bryson Tiller says, F that. We're going to release it when I want to release it. All right, well, here it is. It's called Outside. When we come back, we got front page news. I don't know what he's talking about, but we'll get to it next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Let's start off with some sports tonight. The Rams take on the Bills. That happens at 8.20 p.m., so NFL season is back, and people are predicting the Bills might go all the way this year. And what else you got, Yeezy?

All right, well, a 19- 19 year old man has been arrested and that is after four people were killed and three wounded as he went on a quote senseless murder rampage the suspected shooter has been identified by police as ezekiel dewan kelly he was apprehended about 9 20 p.m last night after police issued an urgent warning in memphis that asked for residents to stay indoors now here he is on facebook live because he was actually recording all of this and doing this on facebook live i don't wait it on camera i pull up and do this my own dude what the say no faking no faking hear No faking. You hear me? This s*** for real. Oh, my mama, Kate, how you think I'm playing? Kate, I'm for sure this s*** here. This s*** so real, my God.

So he was just pulling up to random people, just shooting? Yeah, as far as we know right now, it seems like it was random, but the first shooting was around 1 a.m. on Wednesday. A man was found fatally shot in a driveway. This all continued until about 4.30 p.m. Now, police did manage to apprehend him. A woman was found shot to death around 7.23 p.m. He took her vehicle and fled.

And then a man was found shot and wounded around that time as well. They did find the suspect. He carjacked a person at a gas station and then fled in that person's Dodge Challenger. That Challenger was spotted minutes later. There was a high-speed chase, and then he was arrested without incident, and two weapons were in the car, but they do not know

what that motive is. So they don't know why. They don't know how he got these weapons, what made him snap, what made him do that. They don't know anything as of yet. Right now, the mayor of Memphis is calling it a census murder rampage. They said he was released from prison less than six months ago. He had been charged with attempted first degree murder.

He pleaded guilty in April to a lesser charge of aggravated assault and was sentenced to three years in prison last year. He served 11 months and he was 17 when that incident occurred. And so they said if he had served his full three-year sentence, he would still be in prison today. Yeah, I mean, this is a tough one because you hear this all the time. You hear about people getting arrested for crimes. They're taking a plea, which is a lesser crime,

and not having to serve the full term and serve a couple of months, and then they get back out and then do another, a worse crime. I mean, we have to fix that. We have to fix our whole system because I'm hearing more and more and more and more stories of this. You know, because I don't want to say it's easy, but you commit a crime and then you can, you know,

cop out to something a lot less and not have to serve very much time. You know, if he should have been in jail for three years, maybe this wouldn't happen. What up, Charlamagne? You know? All right. So he is in custody right now, and

I guess we'll get more information today when he's in court. Alright, a new mom gave birth to twins with different dads. She had sex with two men on the same day. It's a 19-year-old Brazilian woman. They said this is not an impossible thing, but it is a

one-in-a-million type of situation. So the woman originally suspected only one of the two men to be the father of the twins. She collected his DNA. It only turned up positive for one of those kids. She said, I remember that I had sex with another man and called him to take the test, which was positive.

And she said, I was surprised by the results. I didn't know this could happen. They are very similar. That is wow. And what are you doing? That situation? Is she still with one of the fathers?

Like, how does that work? How does that, like, that's insane. I mean, you know, I don't know if she's with either one of them. That is wild. That's crazy. Wow. Wow. But just one of the fathers actually looks after both of them.

I'm not sure if the other dad is in, you know, his child's life at all. Nah, because that's my child. I'm only looking out for my child. The other twin, you're on your own. Because what happens now? Who pays the child support for both those kids? But Charlamagne, if you just join us, this lady is having twins. Ladies having twins, and there's two different fathers.

That's impossible. No, that's the truth. That's what I said. That's impossible. No, it's a different fathers. That's impossible. No, that's the truth. That's what I said. That's impossible. No, it's a true story. Not impossible. She has a one in a million chance. There's a one in a million chance.

I don't believe it. She had sex with two dudes within a 24-hour period. I don't believe this story. I just simply don't believe this story. There's so much stupid stuff that we see nowadays that I just don't think is real. This is one of them. They said it occurs in about one out of every 13,000 paternity cases involving twins.

So within twins, it's about one out of every 13,000 cases. But they said a lot of times you don't know because there's no reason to do a paternity test on twins. Most people don't do that. But in this situation, she did. That's wild. So did she get a train ran on her what happened she just had sex with two different guys within 25 days she said one sperm right one swam left with two babies and boom they're not the same dad jesus christ did she get two different stds too

or just babies i don't know maybe she could get crabs and syphilis i've never heard this in my life this is this is unbelievable this new. This is a mutant. I'm telling you. They're doing things, man. They're doing these stuff in the laboratory nowadays, bro. It's impossible. Come on, man. So they're not really...

Well, I guess they are. It's been like 44 years. I've never heard this ever in my life. Have you ever heard this ever in your life? Never. Well, it's happened now. We heard it. All right.

Well, that is... Imagine that. Something new. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club.

surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. 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 tried my country. 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 warheads. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullet holes, yeah. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. And we're losing daylight fast.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her 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

Yo, Envy, go looking for the tickets at the AC Car Show. All love, brother. It was wonderful. Everything went good. The food was great.

But after I left, everything just, it was horrible. What happened? Well, first of all, did you have the turkey leg hut? Did you have all the good food, the empanadas? I tried to get some turkey legs, but they was done already. Oh, they sold out, yeah. Yeah. But listen, I went to the hotel, and I was in there for like about 30 minutes.

This was like around one in the morning. My boy tells me, here's a cup. He gave me a cup of liquor, and I didn't drink none of it. I just walked out with the cup. What was that for? The lady did not want to give me my car for, oh, two hours. She said, oh, no, you walked out with liquor.

I can't give you your car. I'm like, man, did you inspect the cup? The cup is full, right? She's like, yes. I'm like, so I wasn't drinking. I just had the cup because my friend gave it to me. She's like, oh, I got to do a breathalyzer. I'm like, okay, call the cop and do a breathalyzer.

There was a cop on site. He literally inspected the cop, looked at me, and he told me, okay, tell me your ABCs started from L. I gave it to him. I did everything he told me to. They still wouldn't give me my car. I had to sit there for two hours while she was literally laughing in my face. That was horrible. Bro, I know it's horrible for two hours while she was literally laughing in my face. That was horrible.

I know it's horrible for you, but you got to think about it. You come to valet with an open cup of liquor. What was it? I'm sure it was dark. It was dark, so it was smelling extra strong. And you want your car. And all I'm thinking about, if I give you this car

and you get into an accident, it's because I could have saved your life. So all I'm thinking about, if I give you this car and you get into an accident, it's because I could have saved your life. So she did the right thing, bro. But I wasn't even drinking. Like, I wasn't drinking. I had people in my car. But you know, she didn't know if that was your first drink,

second drink, third drink. She did the right thing. She wanted to make sure she wanted to save your life. Because, you know, the people that probably... I was mad, man. I had to get back home to work.

I had to drive all the way back to Patterson. And then I ended up getting a ticket outside for that for Tintin Windows. I get it. But you got to think about it like this. You know how many times she probably see people walk out that casino drunk or halfway drunk. So she thinks she's saving her life. That's the part that I'm not telling you. She was giving everybody else their parking.

Literally everybody else that was drunk like i had this asian couple while i was uh i'm talking with the cop literally it brought into an argument this asian couple stumbled right right on my foot like right on my palisade they stumbled right over me and freaking uh she gave him the car keys. I'm like, you really gonna give them the car key and me that I'm sitting here not drunk or anything like that,

you're not gonna give me my car keys? That's crazy, bro. Well, I ain't got nothing to do with the hotel, bro. I'm glad you had a good time at the car show, though, man. Nah, nah, everything was good, man.

Thank you, though. I'll see you in the next one. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. I kind of think she did the right thing. I mean, I off your chest. 800-585-1051. I kind of think she did the right thing. I mean, I don't know. 800-585- Yeah, I mean, he had an open cup.

I could see if he just walked out and whatever. But if you are holding a cup of liquor, that's different. I agree. Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Monique. How are you? Breakfast Club.

Peace, Monique. Good morning, Angel and you. Good morning. I want to say congratulations on your new endeavor. Thank you. I appreciate it. Way up with Angela Yee. Yes, way up, girl.

But I wanted to speak on the twins, which you guys were talking about earlier. I had that happen to a family member. And actually, the twins are teenagers now. One of my friends told me that he actually introduced me to somebody who's a twin. And the other twin has another father. He was like, hey, you know the person I introduced you to? That's the same situation. So it is not as uncommon.

Yeah, and it was crazy because he just felt like one of the babies, he just didn't have that attachment to. And he was so strong about it, they got a blood test, and one of them was not his. Mm-hmm. They said a lot of times people don't even get the paternity test. They just rock with it. Yep. But he said that he was told that you have 72 hours,

and if that young lady has intercourse with someone else within those 72 hours, you can impregnate that same egg. Wow. That's nuts. Well, thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this? Hi, Denicia again. Hey, Denicia. Good morning. How y'all doing? We good. Bless Black and highly favored. I know.

So, I was calling because I wanted to see another poem I want to share a poem. Go ahead. What's your poem, Mama. Okay, it's entitled God. Okay. Okay, every day it was the same lies beating me in my head, hurtful situations that made me feel dead,

and I got so tired of wanting to be free. So I asked God for healing in me. I got down on my knees and begged him to come through. My love, my life, God, what can I give you? I was telling him about my sins and everything that made me feel blue, from my money to my kisses to my own lies. It's true. I was telling him about things I'd seen at five years old,

even to when that man took me that made me so cold. I got so sick of that man swinging down on my soul so heavy on my chest, and I was about to give up, but then God called me blessed, and I started seeing things in my imagination, and I turned them loud and proud with no hesitation, calling myself a genius. Still awesome and kind, getting to know Jesus. He was even giving me secrets because he knew I'd speak it. I was thanking him for the joy he gave while he was telling me how I was wonderfully made. He reminded me that I was in error

and how he counted every strand of my hair. Everything causing harm only pushed me in his arms. He told me that. And when he delivered me from that man, he said I could never go back. He told me to increase my faith, yet my ego still told me not to be too late. He said he cleaned up my spirit, gave me these words because someone had to hear it. Okay.

Okay. Okay, ma mugging. Please don't stare too hard because nine times out of ten I'm just talking to God. Okay. Okay, ma'am. All right. I love it. That's not like a Judy Blume book. I'm just talking to God. Thank you. Thank you so much, mama. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. Now we got rumors on the way here? Yes, and we'll talk about Mystical. He has been indicted by a grand jury, and his rape case will tell you what those details are. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. The Rumor Report. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.

All right. Well, Mystical is facing life in prison after being indicted by a grand jury for first-degree rape and more. So they said he could stay behind bars. That's right. For the remainder of his life, he was officially indicted on a charge of first-degree rape. And he faces a mandatory life sentence if he is convicted. He also has been charged with simple criminal damage to property, domestic abuse, battery by strangulation, simple robbery and false imprisonment stemming from his arrest that happened in July. He also will be charged with possession of heroin, illegal possession of Xanax, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Now, this is the second time he's been arrested for this, right? A third time? Third, I think. Yeah. Is it the same woman or is it somebody different or is each individual, you know, different every time or do we know or no? Listen, I don't know who this woman is, but the victim says that she was visiting his home when he beat her and forcibly raped her. She said also during the encounter,

he took her phone and car keys and refused to let her leave. Eventually, he did let her go after he used her phone and bank account to send himself $150. So he's now currently being held without bail. But he is a lifetime registered sex offender. If you guys recall back in 23, he was convicted

for sexual assault and extortion back then. So now back in life in 2003. Oh, 2003. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Well, I don't feel bad for any rapist. So if he was found guilty and he did it, it is what it is.

All right. Now let's talk about Turk. He's on Drink Champs and people are debating what he was trying to say on the episode. You know what happens. You start drinking. You say things. You might have said it the wrong way. All right.

Well, listen to this and you tell me. But I so there was a statement that you made on you named the outlet earlier And you was like, yo, you know, I had sex in jail and then people took that part because they done. Yeah They took that Exclusive, okay Man wait, what? You hear me now, let me tell y'all something about See, i'm not gonna get telling y'all who i you feel me

but if you're a real street you already know who i you see i'm sorry see a lot of y'all be like he must have a punk because y'all don't got no status man i'm a gangster man man i shot two police listen man the documentary come and fitted two bullets. Let me guess. The internet is taking Turk literally. Yes. Y'all do realize Turk is being sarcastic, right? Of course.

Oh, okay. He's playing into the fact that on the internet, nobody cares about the truth and the lies more entertaining. He's simply not trying to get himself or anyone who works at that prison jammed up. And if that's what's happening where he was locked up, he doesn't want to mess it up for folks who are still in there. Like, come on, man. Y'all got to be smarter.

It was amusing, though. It's always amusing, but that's why he's playing into it. Like, nobody cares about the truth and the lies. More entertainers, you might as well give them something to talk about because they're going to run with what they want to run with anyway. Now, in addition to that, he wants to make sure that people know that as everybody else is telling their story, he wants the freedom to be able to do that, too.

Me and Wayne caught crabs together. Oh, shit. See, a lot of people try to turn a testimony to a messimony, right? There's a lot of youth out there doing the shit that we was doing. So I got to tell them, bro, I understand what y'all going through. But check this out. It ain't just the A's out there. You know what y'all going through but check this out It ain't just the aides out there. You know I'm saying you can catch this now. They got the monkeypox and all this So I was doing the interview and I say somebody they were like man you bringing that old stuff up this is my story

I just heard baby and Wayne tell a story like baby say Wayne say I'm better now though. So if they could tell a story I could tell mine Yeah, I like to turn somebody's testimony into a messimony dropping the clues bombs for turn He's right though, I mean he's telling his story I don't know when we got to a place in our society where folks can't you know tell, tell the so-called good, so-called bad, and so-called ugly of their stories. That's his story. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and it's a weird thing because sometimes people are like,

why is this person talking about this? But then on the flip side, if it is your story to tell, then you should be able to say it. Yeah, you're not supposed to talk about your life. Like, you know, we've all had different life experiences. What are books for and documentaries? But sometimes your life, yeah, sometimes your life

does involve other people and maybe those people don't want. Yeah, he could have just said I had STD. Or he could have said me and someone else that was down with the crew.

You know what I mean? Well, it wouldn't be that great of a story. Yeah, right. Don't tell Wayne your STD stuff. I mean, if you grew up with Lil Wayne,

Lil Wayne's one of the biggest stars in the world, of course you're going to tell that story. But that ain't your story, that's y'all's story. But't remain your STD stuff. I mean, if you grew up with Lil Wayne, Lil Wayne's one of the biggest stars in the world, of course you're going to tell that story. Yeah, but that ain't your story. That's y'all's story. But then people also didn't like Irv Gotti talking about Ashanti. That's what I'm saying.

And thought that was unnecessary. It's all, it's all, you're right. Eh, whatever, man. It's people's story. You tell the things and you deal with the consequences of what you say.

That's all that matters. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Missy. Front page news, what are we talking about? All right. Barack and Michelle Obama returned to the White House

for the first time together, jointly, since Obama left office in 2017. And we'll tell you why. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now for everybody out there, the NFL is back. That's right. Tonight, the Rams take on the Bills. You excited about that? No, because it's not the Cowboys, but I'm excited that the NFL is back, though.

We play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dallas Cowboys, baby. And tonight, also, the WNBA, the Sky take on the Sun. Now, what else you got, Yeezy? All right, well, Barack and Michelle Obama went to the White House for their official portraits. They had the unveiling ceremony that took place in the White House's East Room. Now, President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden,

Vice President Kamala Harris, and former staffers of the Obama administration were present. The portraits were commissioned by the White House Historical Association. They'll be in that building. And they were painted by artists Robert McCurdy and Sharon Sprung. Here is what Barack Obama had to say. I want to thank Sharon Sprung for capturing everything I love about Michelle. Her grace, her intelligence, and the fact that she's fine. Her portrait is stunning. And I want to thank Robert McCurdy for taking on a much more difficult subject and doing a fantastic job with mine.

He captures every wrinkle on your face, every crease in your shirt. You'll note that he refused to hide any of my gray hairs, refused my request to make my ears smaller. He also talked me out of wearing a tan suit, by the way. Let me thank my husband, first of all, for such spicy remarks. I still love them so much, man. I wish Barack was still president. I still love him so much. Damn it, man. Why do you wish he was still president?

Because I like him. That's all? No policy reasons? No policy reasons just because you like him? I like him. Because he's black? Yes. Half black. Kanye would say he's half black. He's black and I like him. He's half black and he's half white. He's black and I like him. Because he's black? Yes. Or half black. Kanye would say he's half black. He's black and I like him. He's half black and he's half white.

He's black and I like him. No policy reasons, though? He's black and I like him. Jesus Christ. Okay. Is that a problem? All right. Yes.

When it's a president, you got to have some policy. Like him for some policy reasons. I like him because he's black. Jesus Christ. That's why I voted for him, but I didn't know any better. See, all right. I didn't know any better. All right.

So if you knew better, would you still vote for him? Right now, based on all the other options we got, yes. Yes. All right, now let's go to what happened in Memphis, a tragic event. Four people were killed and three people wounded in a census murder rampage that forced residents to actually stay inside of their homes

as they were trying to capture Ezekiel DeJuan Kelly, 19 years old. He is now in custody after a series of shooting. He actually was on Facebook Live letting people know what he was doing. I don't wear it on camera. I pull up and do this. What the. I don't do it. What the fuck you say? No faking. No. No faking. Hear me. This shit for real. On my mama, kid, how you think I'm playing, kid? I'm for sure this shit real. This shit so real, my God.

What was that? That was the young man, I guess, about to shoot somebody, you know, on Facebook Live. Now, he carjacked a person at a gas station and he fled in that person's Dodge Challenger. That Challenger was then spotted by police minutes later. There was a high speed chase and they did manage to apprehend him without incident. There were two weapons found inside of the car. They do not know what that motive is as of now. But the mayor, Jim Strickland of Memphisphis is calling it a senseless murder rampage he also was released from prison um less than six months ago he had been charged with attempted

first degree murder and he pleaded guilty in april of 2021 to a lesser charge he ended up getting sentenced to three years in prison and serving 11 months yeah it's bad enough that we can uh you know stop from seeing these things on social media because these people go live with these kind of heinous acts. But I think that it has to be a media blackout after the fact because you can tell by this guy's mug shots and the pictures he was taking after he got arrested that he was doing this just for attention. Absolutely.

You can hear him when he's talking on the video and he's only doing it for attention. Like, I'm telling you, man, there's this book by Nicholas Carr that came out in 2010 called The Shallows and what the internet is doing to our brains. And boy, oh boy. Yeah, but we also need to fix the system. If he was convicted of, what, attempted murder

and he copped out to a small police, so he wouldn't have to serve as much time and only had to serve 11 months and then came out and started doing this, we have to fix the system. Well, that's what's messed up, though. He's only 19. So how old was he when he caught that?

So he was a juvenile. 18, yeah. Oh, so he wasn't a juvenile. He was 17. He was 17. He when he caught that? So he was a juvenile. So he wasn't a juvenile. He was 17. So he's still considered a juvenile. So, I mean, what do you do in situations like that? Yeah, we got to figure something out. But if somebody's arrested for attempted murder.

That's why these. Attempted murder. That's why the prison system needs to be a real correctional system. Like it says it's a correctional system, but it's not. They're not correcting anything. They're just throwing these kids in jail and not offering them any type of rehabilitation services whatsoever. It's like putting them in the corner for a couple of months and then putting them back out there. That's right.

They should be getting mental health services. They should be getting all types of psychological testing. Give them an opportunity to learn some type of trades so they can come out and have a job. I know it's difficult, but you also have to check up on these kids once they release to make sure they're doing the right thing to make sure they are in those programs that they are getting no i'm saying they should have those programs when they're in prison so when they come out they can have something to do you can't you put them in there for three years you make them more of an animal than just throwing back out in the street and then they do stupid stuff like this like come on man

all right well that is your front page news. All right. Great. Thank you, Miss Yee. What you laughing about? You sound so down. I'm so stressed, man. I know, man. My goodness gracious.

Lord have mercy. Jesus Christ. Hey, man, you ain't got to tell me, bro. It's not like he was aiming at somebody. You ain't got to tell me, bro. You ain't got to tell me. Walking through the class. I feel your pain.

My son could have been driving to school on football practice. I know. The little ones could have been outside in the playground. I know. My wife could have been in wherever. I could have been walking down the street.

It just gives you a different level of anxiety. I don't even want to hear it. Because when I see those things on social media, I scroll by them. I don't watch it. I don't want to see it. The headline is enough for me. Man, there was a gentleman earlier this morning when I

came in and he was sitting there and I'm looking at him like, if you make a move and then he asked me for a lighter. But when he asked me for a lighter, I thought Man, yo. Lord have mercy. Trust me. I feel your pain, bruh, bruh. Give me a hug. No, no, no.

I want the hug. Don't you do that. Nope, nope, nope. I want the hug. That's you do that. Nope, nope, nope. Stay there. I want the hug. Stay there. No. That's why she's leaving. That's why she's leaving now. I want that guy. I want to hug her.

No. All right, when we come back, not from the back, not from the back. Come on. Ah! Big squeeze. Oh, my gosh. That was a horrible scream. You like that.

Is everything okay? No. Are you okay? Big squeeze. No. Are you okay? Big squeeze. Yeah. Do you need a call? Westside Boogie's going to be joining us when we come back. I love Westside Boogie.

He's got one of my favorite rap albums of the year. It's called More Black Superheroes. And if you've heard the album, then you know I like it so much. Because that brother talks about therapy and healing and all types of things, right? So we'll talk to Westside boogie when we come back. All right, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Make sure to see The Woman King, an epic film starring Viola Davis, inspired by true events of the first ever army of women warriors in a fight to save their kingdom. Trust me, you'll want to see it for yourself. Exclusively in movie theaters

September 16th. Dang, you got a 14 year old. I got a teenager. It's the most irritating age in the world. Girl or boy? Yeah, boy. Oh, see, I got a little girl.

I think girls are worse when they're teenagers. Nah, that seems scary. Boys are just irritating because it's like a reflection of myself. So it's like, I be wanting to fire him up.

And he taller than me right now too, so I gotta like work out a little bit. He taller than you? His mom must be tall. Nah, I don't know how he ended up taller than me. He's just only like this much taller than me right now. Okay, okay, okay. But he's taller than me right now too so i gotta like work out a little bit he taller than you his mom must be tall no i don't know how he ended up taller than me he just only like this much taller than me right now okay okay he's still growing exactly and he's a basketball player so now let's since you do have a son let's talk about more black superheroes the album that you have out

so how how was the process making this album i know you had said previously that you went to therapy for like three years and it made it a little difficult to write at certain points yeah it was tough just because the accountability factor that that came with therapy um because I just got out of relationship it was like my first like healthy relationship I feel like I was where like three years all my other relationships I feel like was based off trauma bonding so when I lost her I was still happy because I was like often to make a fire album cuz like I can make a heartbreak album you know what I'm saying

then I'm in therapy and my therapist making me address stuff and make me hold myself accountable so I feel like I couldn't approach music the same now when you talk about your previous relationships before that what do you mean by trauma bonding like my baby mama I think we were just two hurt people

that was fighting just so we could make up. The making up part was the best part for me. Trauma bonding is so real. And we have trauma bonds not even just with the opposite sex. Growing up in the hood and you start hustling or you're in a gang or whatever. Sometimes a lot of that is trauma bonding too. You're all bonding over the wrong. Trauma bond with the homies.

I did that. That's crazy. I never thought about that until right now. Let's smoke some weed and go do a drive-by. You right. That's really the most

trauma bonding. I guess it's with my homies. So yeah. On LOLSMH2, man, you say one of the greatest lines I've ever heard in reference to folks trying to heal.

Well, you don't say it. But the woman on the song says it. She says, there ain't no way you still a bitch and you be in therapy. Yo, I was just thinking about that yesterday um how like when i mess up now i feel like it's heavier to the people around me because they just expect me to be perfect because i've been i've

been bragging about therapy they like oh you ain't therapy not working for him and i'm just like growing is a forever thing that's right and that's the frustrating part because sometimes my growing gets stagnant sometimes i take leaps forward sometimes i back right. And that's the frustrating part because sometimes my growing gets stagnant. Sometimes I take leaps forward. Sometimes I backslide. And that's all the process of it. I just think therapy just made me more aware of it. She gave me the tools. My therapist gave me the tools.

But it's still a once a week thing. I can't afford therapy every day. So, you know what I'm saying? I go once a week, too. And that's the beauty of therapy as well, right? It teaches you you don't have to be perfect. Exactly. What made you decide to go?

I was crying over my ex. Also, shout out to my management company love renaissance summer first got therapy they got therapy for her as like a welcome uh-huh okay that's my uh my label made her whatever she got therapy first because she was going through a lot with the media you know i'm saying so my management got her therapist and they thought it'd be a good idea if they got all the artist therapists so what's the name of that label love renaissance everybody a good idea if they got all the artist therapists. What's the name of that label? Love Renaissance. Everybody needs to sign to Love Renaissance. Yes, they got all the artist therapy. Even they have therapy.

And we do group therapy. They do group therapy. That's like the label heads. They're amazing. Everybody needs to sign to Love Renaissance. Were you resistant to it at first? Duh, yeah. You know, in the n***a world.

Can I say n***a right now? Yes. In the n***a world, it's looked at as crazy. 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 is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supremeest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my country? 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 warheads. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help. We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from

There's a stigma around it. Like, what do I need to go talk to somebody I don't know for when I can just talk to the homies or go smoke or do something like that? More trauma bonding. Exactly. And even some days, I still lie to my therapist some days. You know what I'm saying? Some days I'll be like, I'm busy today because growing sometimes is uncomfortable.

But I know that's where the growth comes. What was your first session like? She tried to just pull up on me in the studio, like, you know, just sit around and be a homie, which I appreciate. But I still like saw through it. I knew what she was doing. So it was a lot of resistance at first. I don't think we got a breakthrough to like maybe after the first three months. What happened in that last relationship that had you so upset? Why did you guys break up?

I don't think I was a great boyfriend at the time. I don't like bragging about the Zodiac stuff but I'm a Virgo and they say we expect perfection out of everybody.

So your birthday just passed? Yeah, it was like a couple days ago. I just had a party two nights ago. Virgo men are some lying ass. I was being a thot.

You think so? Sometimes, bro. And we manipulative. It is crazy because we feel like we're so smart and we try to use it to manipulate people. That is exactly it. I think on my last relationship. What was she? What sign was she?

Taurus. Okay. Oh, I hate it. Yeah, exactly. She an artist as well, though. And I think my career got so consuming for her and she started to resent me and feel like she couldn't be the artist she wanted to be. And yeah, so I think we had an argument over the trash and she started to resent me and feel like she couldn't be the artist she wanted to be. And yeah,

so I think we had an argument over the trash and she was like, we're breaking up. And I was like, oh, she been checked out. She been wanting to get away. You know what I'm saying?

So I respect it. She dated one of the homies now and it's irritating, but tough seeing that around the city. But that's still your homie though? No, I ain't talk to him. He act like I did something wrong to him, but that's how I like it.

And you got all these thoughts in your head. You probably like, you probably been messing around. Exactly. And that's the tough part. But oh my gosh, that that's awful except you're not making this better i'm sorry excepting was not in my control is the the stuff i'm learning to deal with because that's always hard i feel like i always got to control the situation so what accountability did you take because i know you said it's about accountability too um just not speaking up on stuff I wanted.

Just like instead of me just holding so much stuff in and like putting so much pressure on her. I could have just spoke on it. We could have got through it. And I think supporting her more. I was making it seem like just because I was paying for stuff. I was being a great boyfriend. And I know it was more than that. I needed to support her and the stuff she cared about and really paid attention to the details.

And I don't think I was doing that. You talked about your first breakthrough in therapy right do you feel like sharing what that was i'll tell you if you tell me lately i realized i got a lot of frustration towards my mom just because i feel like she never gave me a space to be emotional your mom wow i hear that with dads a lot i feel like yeah my dad wasn't around i think my mama just raised me to be tough because she didn't want me to go out in the world and get punked. You know what I'm saying? Which I did.

But I think it should have been a balance because now when I get older and somebody tell me they love me or want to have emotional conversations, I shut down. It's like weird to me. I don't like when people get too touchy-feely. I don't like when people give me compliments. It all make me glitch out. And I spoke about it in an interview before I talked to my mom about it. And then she saw it and, you know, she got frustrated. But I'm still glad I did it because then we had the conversation about it after.

But that breakthrough happened. Me understanding like, oh, I moved these ways in these relationships because of this relationship in my past with my mom. So what did she say? Did that change things for you guys? She said, sorry, and that we're going to work on it. But it's still hard. My brain's so conditioned sorry and that we're going to work on it. But it's still hard. My brain's so conditioned now. And I'm still trying to work on that.

Like I said, I'm aware of it. But that don't necessarily mean a change going to happen immediately. Yeah, my first breakthrough was realizing that I had daddy issues. You know what I mean? And you addressed that on Anthony. On wars and perversity. How difficult was it to confront that topic? Oh man,

that one is tough because I've been saying it don't bother me forever. I've been like, my daddy ain't been in my life. I got this far without him. I don't need him. But then I'm like,

oh, it's really affecting me. Like, my abandonment issues and everything behind it. It's like, I got to have a conversation with my dad now.

I got to figure out how to let this hate go that I didn't even know I had. Like, this unaddressed trauma is so irritating. What was easier, writing that song or actually, I mean, I guess you never had the convo with your pops. I still ain't talked to my dad. So writing the song was easier. In the past years, I've reached out.

I'd be like saying, yo. But then when he say, all right, can you call me? I just shut down and we don't end up having a conversation because it's just like I can never see myself walking out of my son life. And I know that's why I overcompensate now with my kid and I irritate him. I'll be hugging on him, loving him so much because my daddy never gave me none of that. And I just don't understand. It never makes sense to me. He blamed my mom and say like, your mama made it hard.

I tried to come around, but it's just like my baby mama could not stop me from seeing my kid. Yeah, I will say will say you know a lot of the uh the hate that i i started to have for my dad after therapy once i had a conversation with him and realized he was just a man dealing with his own like he went to therapy two or three times a week he was on 10 to 12 different medications he tried to commit suicide when i heard that it humanized it in a real way for me so So I started giving them grace. You're right. A lot of grace. That's what my therapist was saying about my mom when I was explaining my frustrations about her.

And she was like, you understand how hard it is to be a single black mom? Because I was mad. I feel like my mama didn't chase her dreams. And she taught me how to settle. But then my therapist was like, that's a win right there. Her being able to raise you. And you need to look at how great that was. And I downplayed that.

And my mom is a survivor she's strong as hell so yeah and sometimes you have to think you wouldn't even be who you are where you are if it wasn't for how you were raised and the way that things happen yeah that's true i honestly am still scared to heal all the way because as a rapper i think you look weak you know i'm saying i don't think i could thrive as a rapper being healed all the way and i'm scared of that i don't know i'm not saying i'm don't think I could thrive as a rapper being healed all the way, and I'm scared of that. I'm not saying I'm right, but it's just like, you know, the world glorify ignorance, and it's just like, I'm scared to just become the positive.

It's like, you know what I'm saying? Look how the world started demonizing Chance. Yeah, we had that conversation last time Chance was here. I'm like, damn, a man can't love his wife? Like, they hating on Chance because he actually loves his wife? So in the meantime, Big Sue, Bompton Piru. You know what I'm saying? Alright, we got more with West Side Boogie. When we

come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with West Side Boogie. Yee. Now, you were being a thot for your birthday. What is being a thot to you? I thought I could be Bill Bellamy. Like, how to be a player and invite all my all my shoulders to one place nope and it just did not

work out and i thought i was being so clean it's not like i was hugging up on anybody but i guess girls just could read through stuff yeah especially they think they're dating you and then you get invited you think you the one like he invited me to his birthday party so it's special and that's the thing i'm even i'll be honest with these girls, I think if I still move a certain way, I still think I'm the bad person because I'll be telling them I'm not ready to be

in a relationship. But me knowing that they're not really understanding what I'm saying and still choosing to move forward with them, I'm still in the wrong. So I invited all of them there.

And then the next day I got a text like, you're too old to be moving like this. Like, they right. Back to the therapy stuff. Like, therapy's not doing nothing for you.

You look lame. I'm losing all respect for you. And ain't no way you still a bitch ass again. You're therapy. Okay, hey, guy. We get it. Well, being that this is your first time here and we haven't had a chance to speak to you before, let's talk a little bit about your journey.

And even, like, I know you signed to Interscope. And then how did you and Eminem link up? All right. So, yeah, I started singing off in church. I'm just fast forward. I was singing in church in compton um realized you were singing in church i gotta talk about 30 years of life you know what i'm saying i was my mama sent me to this church in compton i was getting in trouble she sent me with her homegirl to go to church she didn't want to come with me you know you call it the buyer instead of the choir? No.

That's funny as hell. If it did that, I'd be so mad. But yeah, I was doing gospel raps at first. Then it was these little kids. I was going to the church. It was gang members already. And I thought there was the coolest in the world. So I became a follower.

Just start following him after church. Gospel raps wasn't a thing no more. Start doing regular raps. Just start rapping around the city. Got my baby mama pregnant at 19. Went to Long Beach City College. Finesse them for a loan. Bought studio equipment.

Was recording in my mama room for about four years. This white man hit me on Twitter. In the hood, we think any white person hit us, we made it. Well, that's what I thought at the time. He became my manager at the time. He came from an edm background he was working with like skrillex interscope ended up calling me wow yeah i'm yeah i know you're going through it yeah but yeah i dropped the song called oh my interscope uh ended up calling me i leveraged them like you know you're supposed to do all the labels but i was gonna end up going back to interscope anyway sign with them then they put me on the shelf because my manager at the time me and him had hit a ceiling and they just was

ignoring my manager it was so scandalous but um uh then lvrn came around they had got an imprint at uh interscope and my anr at the time was like hey man i got this this company i think you should work with um they black and i think y' think y'all could vibe together. At the same time, like two weeks before that, he had called me and say, hey, man, I don't know how Paul Rosenberg found your music, but he with you and he want to fly you to Detroit. So at the same time, I got new management and Eminem took over my contract and like out of nowhere. It's not like I don't know how he found me for real. They said the Rihanna post maybe was a thing because Rihanna did post me like one of them years.

So what did Eminem say when you got there? It was crazy. He don't really talk a lot. I think we both deal with social anxiety. I'm not even sure I'm supposed to say that. But what was dope, he told me the songs he liked was like my album cuts. And he was explaining me those lyrics.

And that's what made me, that's what made me trust his judgment because he wasn't just talking to me about the viral song. So we had that conversation. I went home and then because he wasn't just talking to me about the viral song so we had that conversation I went home and then he just gave me the freedom

to create so that's why I appreciate him because he gave me advice when I needed but he don't like overstep my creative process there's a lot you just

talked about that I'm lying there's only one thing I want to unpack because it's so fantastic most people become gang in the street you became gang

in the church yeah exactly it's a crazy thing it's been backfired how do you become most people become gang in the street. You became gang in the church. Yeah, exactly. It's a crazy thing. That plan backfired. How do you become gang in the church? Because I'm sitting there thinking, if the gang members were coming to church, they clearly were searching for something else.

No, we wasn't. We was going because all our parents made us go. Yeah, you had to. And that's the thing. And that's the thing in LA. Gangs and church is tied so close together. We all was at church growing up. Every hood had a church they went to.

So yeah, being a little follower. So you was looking forward to church. Loved it. I was really only going for the girls. And then see the homies from the hood. So when you got jumped in, did you ask for God? Like, oh God, this hurts. I ain't even going to lie.

It was one of them things where I just was over there since I was 13. And they just accepted me. I probably fought my cousin like once. He was like, are you from the hood now? Then jump me. I didn't have to deal with that. I didn't have to deal with it. And that's what I'm saying.

It's like, it's people from my neighborhood who had to like grow up, who actually was born there and had to, and had no choice but to be from there. I walked my happy ass over there and I didn't have to. And that's like a message. I'd be telling my kid, I went through my kid phone one time and he was saying cut his friends. And that broke my heart because like, I had never prepared him for that type of conversation before that.

I just tried to hide the reason I started gang banging, forgetting that I'm a rapper. He's still going to see me throwing up my hood in these songs. And I should have been had this conversation with him because like, he ain't went through no struggle. He don't have no reason to gang bang, but that's just because the world found him before I had the conversation with him because like he ain't went through no struggle he don't have no reason to gangbang but that's just because the world found him before I had the conversation with him and you know it's tempting in LA everybody wants to gangbang in LA because it looked cool you know I'm saying so that conversation broke my heart

especially he want to be a crip and I'm a whole blood you know I'm saying so he said especially because of that boy does your son realize how famous you are yeah but he still treat me like the corny dad his friends treat me more famous than he do. I don't know if he's just trying to hide it and not make me feel cool, but I'm just dad to him. You know what I'm saying? But every time we go somewhere,

people taking pictures and he get irritated. And so there's that. But now he a little TikTok famous kid. So we go out and he got a little TikTok. People saying, oh, that's DJ from TikTok. And I think that's weird because his TikTok is him doing little freaky faces, like videos you know these little light skin faces kids be doing so what's your relationship like with kendrick you know have y'all because you know i'm thinking

like y'all from the same place with these last albums mr morales and the big step and black superhero y'all kind of on the same wavelength have me mad at first i'm like damn this he's bigger than me he He done took my message. But also, I want to say, if I really care about the message like I spoke on with the homies, if I really care about the message, I should appreciate Kendrick getting it out there. Because if not, if

I'm just trying to hold it as my message, then I don't really care. But for one, that's my favorite rapper. He's from my neighborhood. And I just appreciate the doors he opened just by being himself. I never expect Kendrick to do nothing for me. He didn't gain me opportunities because just being, letting me come around and to see certain stuff,

being in the studio with him. So yeah. I do have a relationship. Yeah. Not, he not like my best friend. It's like somebody from my neighborhood who's accessible to everybody from my neighborhood.

And you wrote on his last album. Didn't you write for Summer Walker? But that's gang stuff. I don't even think he knew till after. That's just because, you know what I'm saying, LVRN gave me that play, Summer, my dog.

So when they came to you, they were like, yeah, we need you to write a verse for Kendrick's album, but it's for Summer. I was like, yes. A word? Okay, I thought you'd be like, what?

Nah. I mean, you're happy to do it, but damn, you know, you might want to be on that album. No, 100% I want to be on the album. I'm just grateful for the opportunity. Do you thank God often? Dang, not as much as I should.

I haven't learned how to be present for real. I'll be so focused on where I want to be and where I got to get to, where I feel like I'm supposed to be. It'd be hard. And sometimes I feel like I only talk to God when I'm going through stuff. And I need to get better at talking to him in my good times. You got to just say it randomly like right now. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus Bryce.

But I'm also sometimes I'll be in spiritual limbo because like church messed me up as far as the politics behind it. And as far as like it didn't feel like a spiritual place no more. And then I don't know if I want to be Christian or Muslim. You know I'm saying it's a real thing. I need to do my research. But right now I am in spiritual know what I'm saying? It's a real thing. I need to do my research.

But right now I am in spiritual limbo. I know I believe in a higher power. I believe. I think you're religious limbo. Not spiritual. That's the right term. Religious limbo. Because my spirit is in.

I'm in tune. Do you go to church at all still? No, I don't go to church no more. Okay. Can you call it church? Didn't you say birch? I'm just trying to. I don't know.

I'm just trying to keep you focused here. I'm not the homie. It was funny about me. I don't like code switch until I get around the homies from the hood. Then I start replacing all the letters. I turn into super blood. But when I be out, I don't do that shit. I don't know how they do it so good. They can replace any letter off top.

And some of it is blasphemous. You cannot say Jesus Bryce. The homies will, though. No. The homies will. You think so? Yeah. They wild. All right, we got more with West Side Boogie when we come back. It's The homies will, though. No. The homies will. You think so? Yeah. They wild.

All right, we got more with West Side Boogie. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with West Side Boogie. Yee.

On the song, Stuck, you talk about how much you do love your hood and going back. But sometimes people tell you it's hard because people are jealous. Things could be dangerous when you go back. What's that balance like for you? I deal with survivor's guilt all the time. I go to my neighborhood when I don't even have to. And then I force myself into stuff I don't have to, like conversations I shouldn't have no part dealing with. And that's just because sometimes I feel like I'm reaping the benefits of gangbanging when I don't have to deal with the cons of it. I could go home while they they gotta still live in the hood when i know the industry like oh he a blood let's give him more streams that's how i feel i know sometimes when i put on a red bandana i get more clicks and so that make me feel guilty

because like yeah i don't have to do that you know i'm saying when you talk about gang banging isn't gang banging just one aspect of being in the gang though you could be in a gang and never have bang right i'm just a gang member i don't consider myself a gangbanger because i'm not the one in my hood that's you know yeah on that time i go over there and i'm like either the rapper i'm trying to tell the homies different stuff about why they don't got to do this so i never tried to i like fight somebody you know i'm saying i can't it's nothing to catch a fade but yeah it is different aspects of it we got homies like we just look at for advice, like the older homies. But we got homies who go take that trip, who get in that car and go do what they got to do.

So it is different levels of it, but it's still fall under the same umbrella. What about vacations? Do you go on vacation? I've never been on a vacation, ever. Nope. I went to my manager's birthday last year to DR, but I ended up stopping arguments between Drom and other people, but I said Drom name. I'm so funny.

Shout out my boy Drom. He's on the album too. Yeah, that's my boy Shelly Shell. That's my brother. Why you call him Shelly Shell? He changed the name to Shelly. It's not Drom no more. It's Shelly FKA Drom. It says Drom on your album? It says Shelly FKA Drom. No, it did not on title.

It said Shelly. Let me look. Ten push-ups? Ten push-ups. drum on your album it says shelly fka drum no it did not on title it said just feet shelly man 10 push-ups 10 push-ups let me see now are you planning to look right there all right west side boogie drum they did that oh yeah that's right whatlly? Let's get that 10 King. Bring the intersco. One, two, three. Straighten that back up. You're doing them right. Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. All right. Good money.

Good money. Good money. Good money. Nice. And you high too? You just blew your high. You're loud. I literally hate losing that stuff.

So listen, what about a vacation though? I think maybe it's time for that. And you can, too? You just blew your high. You're out of breath. I literally hate losing that stuff. So, listen, what about a vacation, though? I think maybe it's time for that. And you could take your son. Oh, he gonna piss me off in the first couple of days. He could stay home. I need a vacation from him, too, for real, for real. But you should. But I ain't got no joint I want to bring right now.

You never went on vacation with your ex? Nah, that's probably another reason she was off. Sure. You probably flew around real quick. Bro, why are you right there? I know,

man, I be touring. I'm a starving artist, bro. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes I feel like I don't got the luxury even though I could

afford a vacation. You could probably get a free vacation too. On me? Just finesse it? No, yeah, you definitely could.

They'd be like, look, we just need you to do a post. Yeah, I just started figuring out I could do that in LA. It was a bowling alley and I used my name and they let me in. I was like, yeah, you definitely could. They'd be like, look, we just need you to do a post. Yeah, I just started figuring out I could do that in L.A.

It was a bowling alley, and I used my name, and they let me in. I was like, oh, I could finesse my name. You definitely could get a resort to comp that, and they just, you know. All right, set it up. Yeah, we definitely could set that up. What made you want to put Soulja Boy on Can't Even Lie? Because you got Soulja actually rapping. I was trying to be funny at first in the studio with the homies.

I was like, yo, just give me Soulja Boy energy. I was just with my producers. And I text my manager the idea. I'm like, I know this sound crazy, but what if? Then he told me Soulja Boy price. And we got the verse. Wow. Fast.

You give that boy that bread, you get it. You know what I'm saying? Money talk. Shout out to Big Soulja because he gave me a good verse. And I'm happy for that. Yeah, he's rapping. You got to be actually rapping. Shout out to Big Soulja. Bompton Soulja bompton soldier boy all right oh y'all claim him

he is bombed hey man it's whatever he say did any of the girls stop talking to you from your birthday party the other night yeah i just tried to say hi to all of them the next day and it's over my roster is done for you gotta start all over the roster right now is gonna even make it more worse how many you had, bro? Nah, it wasn't like that. Because the hard part is, right, people try to wait it out to see to the end, like, who's leaving with him. I know, and that's the crazy part, because girls start hanging around.

Let me tell you, I got home that night, right? So, I was like, I'm going to be smart and just not go home with none of these bitches. You know what I'm saying? Bitches. I'm so sorry. Wow. Perfect balance. Scratching his righteousness. I apologize, because that wasn't cool at all. You're a work in progress. But these women and I got home and one of them was sitting in my room at four in the morning waiting to catch me up with another girl.

And I like one of the most scary things. And I was like, you can't really you can't play with these people feelings. How did she get in your room? I left my door unlocked like an idiot. She knew that. And she was in my room waiting for me. There was like seven girls there. But none of them is my girlfriend. So I don't know why he was acting like that you have a name like the west

side boogers or something oh man i don't i'm not proud of this actually no she had to go home she told me i was being disrespectful she was just like why would you invite me if you're gonna have these other girls there blah blah this and i said i actually didn't invite you my assistant invited you wow i didn't know you was coming. And I also felt like I didn't hug on none of them at the party. I stayed around the homies. So it was just her intuition. Because some other dude texted me after the party, some singer.

He was like, I just want to let you know you a pimp. And I'm just like, how? I didn't talk to none of them girls while I was up there. Meanwhile, all the girls texting you. And ain't no way you still a bitch nigga and you being techie. See, man. Where's the merch? That was a bad idea.

I know. I'm even going to make some merch saying that. That was a bad idea? It was. Because if you invite a girl or your assistant does, they think that

they're the one that's coming. That's why they got invited. Like, okay. They're like, there's no way. But if we never had no conversation before that

about us being in a relationship, about us being exclusive, like, you can't put that on me then i gotta deal with the guilt after because of your expectations that's crazy to me so you wouldn't have been mad if they would have talked to somebody else at the party since you guys dang i would have been pissed because it works both ways i actually did that drunk i remember saying one of the things to one of the girls like you better not do no dumb up here yeah i was being toxic now i think about it now i'm starting to realize that line was probably based on a true story. A woman actually told you that all this stuff is real.

That's a real thing that definitely came from a real woman. I said that not her specifically, but a real experience. And there's no judgment for you now when you date. Right. Like you said, you don't want to have to pass judgment on these women based off their past or things that they've done. Yeah, I don't judge. I don't judge. I just can't talk to women who dated my peers like you know i'm saying you dated jid

or like smino because i gotta see all the time i don't i'm cool you can't wife but what's dated like what if they just if the homies hit i'm cool okay do you ask those questions do you ask her what if they just had conversations i'd be like have you dated any rappers that's my question what if they just have conversations? Now I ask the homies, I'd be like, have you dated any rappers? That's my question. What if they just had FaceTime conversations? FaceTime conversations? I'm not sure about FaceTime conversations. But if somebody smacked or like, you know what I'm saying? Or you gave him s***.

What if he just gave her s***? That's funny. That's cool. I ain't got no problem with that. I don't know. That's kind of wild, bro. Your homies be like, yo, you know I s*** the girl out. You're right.

And passing you the blunt s***. That is kind of wild bro your homie be like yo you know I a** the girl out you're right and passing you the blunt that is kind of crazy actually yeah any type of sexual like thing I'm cool oh man

On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, Jay-Z and Jack Dorsey's Bitcoin Academy started in June as a 12-week educational initiative. It was free and available exclusively to residents of Marcy Houses. That's where Daisy grew up in Brooklyn. the program on Wednesday night. The residents who enrolled as students got a grant and where each heir dropped around $1,000 in Bitcoin through Cash App, Munn Wallet or other wallets that was funded

by Jay-Z and Jack Dorsey. Now one of the instructors, who by the way was on The Breakfast Club, Lamar Wilson, who's the founder of the Black Bitcoin Billionaires. He's one of the instructors that taught there. You guys know Lamar Wilson because he was the founder of the Black Bitcoin Billionaires. He's one of the instructors that taught there. You guys know Lamar Wilson because he was on the show talking about Bitcoin and the work that he's been doing for a really long time. So basically, they said they wanted to make sure that people weren't pressured into buying or selling Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies,

but to have the program as a purely fun educational journey. And so that way you feel a lot more knowledgeable and educated. And so they said it feels like we're at a family dinner and like that cousin that discovered Bitcoin is telling everybody else about it. Now for Lamar Wilson, who was an instructor in the academy, he said the program represented a continuation

of what he's been working at since 2013, providing contemporary financial education and inclusion to disadvantaged communities. So shout out to them. Okay, that's dope. I know we always have a lot of questions about Bitcoin and everything, but Lamar Wilson to me is like one of the experts in that.

Somebody who's been doing that for like 10 years. And you can check him out on Wealth Wednesday as well. Now, Aries Spares is talking about this molestation lawsuit that he and Tiffany Haddish are facing. He couldn't say too much, but for his podcast Spears and Steinberg, here's what he did have to say. This is an extortion case. You know, I'm going to echo her words. We won't be shaken down. And believe me, it's bothering me not to talk about the skit because Andy and I have been talking about it.

And there's some very valid things I feel like I have to say or want to say, but just can't at this time. And I'm no coward. I'm not running from anything and I'm not guilty of anything. It's the reason why I won't turn my mentions off on my Instagram. You know, I'm not deleting any of my old posts. My character's being assassinated. This person has a history of these false accusations. And what's killing me is, you you know all the people hitting me up at no point there's a little bit of you know common sense or red flags or any you just whatever man people are just running with this and it

didn't help with the lizzo thing so i'm having a bad week all right in all fairness you brought that lizzo thing upon yourself that is true he sure did he doubled down on it and tripled down on it so yes you're having a bad week but Lizzo don't have nothing to do with this situation I see the internet saying that but Lizzo don't have nothing to do with this situation well he brought it up

I know but they just make it seem like there's like the Lizzo press the button oh no no no for Aries Spares in particular he was already in the spotlight for that and then this compiled on top of that just made everybody coming at him worse we got for him yeah his own fault though for the lizzo part he just started weighing in on things and then and really rude nasty things about lizzo i mean and for the sketch but i mean i keep telling y'all

over and over at some point the whole industry is gonna have to address old content because the whole industry is complicit like this whole entertainment industry really just started to change over the past four or five years anybody who says otherwise is a damn liar and a hypocrite we all complicit so don't wait until it's your fave or somebody you like to say something about it because i promise you this whole business is a circular firing squad and it's tiffany andries today. Could be you or somebody you love tomorrow. Well, people do take accountability, though. As Tiffany had said, it was in poor taste. And she does regret it.

And so that's important, too, to not just brush it under the rug and say this is what people did, but say this was in poor taste. And now I see this and I wish I would have never done that. Yeah, but what's next? She said it's in poor taste. She apologized. She said it was dumb. It was stupid. It was something that was done in, what, 2003 what's next? She said it's important. She apologized. She said it was dumb. It was stupid. It was something that was done in what, 2003

or 2004? No, it was like 2013. 2013, which was what, nine years ago? Yeah, but that's all you can do. I'm not going to lie, though. I don't know who didn't feel like that was disturbing, even then. I mean, a child, that was definitely disturbing. I'm with you, but you can say that about a lot of content.

A lot of it. In particular, we can say that about this, because this is what people are talking about right now. She has said it was in poor taste, and she regrets it. What's next? Because, like you said, every program, TV shows, movies, stuff that's been in poor taste

nine, ten years ago, people apologize. They say it was in poor taste, and then they continue to move on and evolve. I haven't seen this, but kids and pedophilia is a joke. Oh, I definitely have seen that. And I'm not calling nobody out. You know why? Because if you want to cancel somebody, go do your own homework.

I'm not saying that's a common thing, though, that everybody was doing. It's not common, but it was pretty common, guys. Like, look at the movie Nerds. What was the other movie we were talking about the other day? Oh, Birth with Nicole Kidman. Yeah, with Nicole Kidman. I never saw that. Yeah, the little boy.

She thought her husband was reincarnated as a 10-year-old boy. Yeah, she was messing with the 10-year-old boy. Or Nerd, where he acted like he was somebody else, and that's considered rape. Yes. You know what I mean? So we've seen this before. We've seen this. Yes. To act like. And it's not just the's considered rape. Yes. You know what I mean? So we've seen this before. We've seen this. Yes.

To act like, and it's not just the talent either. That's the problem. It's the producers. It's the directors. It's the writers. It's the networks. It's the production companies. Like, there's so many checks and balances that, you know,

people just let slide in our era. Don't even sit here and act like it wasn't happening, because it was. Well, Tiffany's response, I think, was appropriate. I agree. She regrets it. It was wrong. You know, and not to make excuses or everyone was doing it, but there.

I agree. I'm just telling you that this is a circular firing squad. That is your rumor reports. All right. Well, who are you giving your donkey to? Man, four after the hour since we're talking about systems. Let's talk about the system that some say failed Ezekiel Kelly, but I say it was designed that way.

We'll talk about it for after the hour. All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Looking to turn a small bet into a big payday? With DraftKings Sportsbook's same game parlays,

If I say something you may not agree with, it doesn't mean I'm mean. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey. That donkey.

Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey of the day right there. It's a breakfast club, bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Donkey of the day for Thursday, September 8th goes to a 19-year-old man named Ezekiel DeJuan Kelly.

I don't know what's going on in the world anymore, people. My grandma used to always say, I've never seen a time like this. That's how I feel now at 44 years old. I've never seen a time like this. But I do know none of this is going to end well. Okay. See, Ezekiel was in police custody in Memphis this morning after allegedly killing at least four people and injuring three others. The fact that we still have to say allegedly in situations like this lets me know how much we are

not really evolving as a people on any level. See, when you go on a shooting rampage on a live screen for the world to see and folks witnessing, like actually witness what you did, ain't no allegedly about it. Let's go to ABC News for the report, please. This morning, a suspect in custody after a deadly shooting spree in Memphis, Tennessee. 19-year-old Ezekiel Kelly is accused of driving around the city, shooting and killing four people, wounding three others, all while streaming the violence on Facebook Live. In a Facebook video that's now been removed,

the suspect was reportedly seen walking into an auto parts store and opening fire. Police saying the spree lasted more than two hours, spanning eight different crime scenes. Police say Kelly later stole a car at gunpoint, officers eventually locating the vehicle leading to a high-speed pursuit where Kelly was eventually arrested. But the massive manhunt paralyzing Memphis into the evening, residents urged to stay home, the city in shock. This is no way for us to live.

And it is not acceptable. Oh, there's a great book that came out of 2010 by Nicholas Carr. I just recently read it It's called The Shallows, What the Internet Is Doing To Our Brains, and by the time we figure out What the internet is doing and has done to our brains It'll be too late, because I think we're too far gone Number one, this kid was 19

So you're just dealing with youth, okay, that's number one Do you know the stupid things that I was doing and getting into when I was 19? Think about what type of knucklehead things you were doing When you were 19, then you factor in Whatever socioeconomic status he came from and what he's been around his whole life. Those brothers that come from nothing usually feel like they are nothing. And a 19 year old who feels like he has nothing also feels like he has nothing to lose. And that leaves us with situations like this. And let's not factor in drug use and mental health issues and the devil

damn internet. Okay. The internet is the only place a human like ezekiel kelly can feel seen i'm telling you these brothers have no sense of worthiness no love for themselves so you think they could ever have love for you that's why that's why they can just pull out a gun and kill you like this because hurt people hurt people now earlier envy you said they need to fix the system correct i would say that the system isn't broken okay in matter of fact i would say that uh you know people some people would say the system failed as equal Kelly. I would say it didn't fail him at all. I don't think fail is the right term because the system didn't fail Ezekiel Kelly. It was designed to currently keep exact Kelly exactly where he is.

OK, see, Ezekiel is only 19. But when he was 17, he faced four felony charges, including two counts of attempted murder, one count of reckless endangerment and one count of possession of a firearm. OK, this was 2020. He was 17 years old. He pled guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated assault, was sentenced to three years and did 11 months of that three years. I would like to know what did the prison system do for him those 11 months he was in there? We know the answer to that. Not a damn thing. OK, we call these prisons correctional facilities, but what are they actually correcting?

This young man should have received in prison what he clearly wasn't receiving on the outside. And that's simply opportunity. Okay. What do the mental health services look like in prison? All right. This man should have been seeing a psychiatrist all the time. Get him some counseling,

get him a spiritual leader in prison. Let him learn a trade in prison. Okay. Receive some type of certification in prison. So when he comes home, he can get a job and provide for himself. OK, it makes zero sense to have a young man at 17 in prison for all these violent crimes and let him out after 11 months. But absolutely no rehabilitation at all. Prison just makes you more of a savage. OK, you just trying to survive at 17 in prison. You become more of a monster, and this system knows that. They know that if they put this young man right back in the street with absolutely nothing, no skill set, no new mindset,

he never had no home training to begin with, his chances of coming back for an even longer stay are very, very high. And they love that. You know why they love that? Because we all know that incarceration is big business and the bodies of prisoners are commodities okay prison is supposed to be about rehabilitation but the system isn't going to do that for you most of the brothers and sisters i know who rehabilitated in prison they did that on their own okay they did that by tearing up the

library reading every book in there all right they did that by uh turning the god they did that by writing they they made the choice to use their time wisely there is absolutely nothing in the prison system that is going to help someone like ezekiel okay and when you put someone like him back on the street then he has a platform to be seen and heard by a mass majority of people for once in his life. Oh, my God. You think he's not going to project that pain and hurt all over said platform? And this is why so much debauchery goes digital. And I don't have any answers.

The reason I don't have any answers is because I know this system is designed to do exactly what it's doing. And we are too far gone. We've gone too far to turn back now. Things are only going to get worse. So if you know what I know, you better let go and let God. Because I don't have any other bright ideas. Okay?

Okay. Please let Remy Ma give Ezekiel Kelly the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother******, are you dumb? I done-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. I don't have any ideas. Don't know what to do. All right.

Advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Yee. Get the bread. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's Damien from Toronto, Ontario. What up, Damien?

I thought it was Toronto, not Toronto. Toronto, Ontario. Yes, sir. All right, they've been telling me the wrong term. Toronto. I thought it was Toronto. No T, but. Toronto, Toronto, Toronto, Ontario.

All right, my bad. What's your question for Yee? Blessing, blessing. Listen, man, I got to ask Yee a question for you. Okay. So I've been married to my wife for 21 years. We've been together for 25 years. Okay.

She took 17 grand out of my account to give to her brother without letting me know. Is it a joint account or your account? It's a joint account. All right, so she took $17,000 from our account is what you should say. Our account,

but she didn't let me know until I found out. Has anything like this ever happened before? Negative. Negative. Okay. Never happened before. So I'm

a little disappointed and then it's only when I found out she didn't tell me about it. And then when she told me her brother and I'm like 17k? Really? You didn't discuss this beforehand? So what was her explanation that why she didn't

say anything? No, she didn't. She just said I gave it to him. Does she feel like it's wrong? Is he supposed to pay the money back? I didn't get any of that information, unfortunately. Okay. I think, you know, 21 years married, 25 years together. You said nothing like this has ever happened before.

So what you need to do is make sure something like this doesn't happen again. And have a sit-down conversation. It doesn't have to be angry or heated. You know, just to find out what made her think that this was okay to do. And let her know how it made you feel. How did it make you feel? I'm heated. I'm heated because

it's hard work that I put in to put that money in that account. And her as well, right? Because it's both of your money. It's both of ours. But, you know, I work excessively hard. And, you know,

I do manual labor. She does, you know, office work. So it doesn't fly with me that well because, you know, if her brother can't make his own capital and he can't get a loan, don't come to me or come to her and take that without me being involved with it. Because our money. Listen, yeah, you are absolutely. You are absolutely correct.

It's both of your money together. And she definitely should have consulted because what if you would have done that? What if you would have taken $17,000 from the account, not said anything and gave it to somebody in your family? That would not have been cool. Correct. So how do I deal with her now? Because I feel like, you know, you're doing something behind my back. How do I how do I deal with that?

Well, I would say this. You guys have a good track record of something like this never happened. This is a one time thing that happened. And let's just make sure moving forward. Y'all understand this cannot happen again. OK, because maybe it's nothing that you ever discussed because it's never been an issue until now. You need to find out. Does he intend to pay that money back? Right. What made her feel like she was. Do you have any other issues in your marriage?

No. OK, so this feels like something fixable. You know, it's a financial. No, you know, Angelique, it is a financial thing that I think that is inappropriate because it should have been discussed way before you even make that move. I agree with you, Damien. But what you need to do is have this conversation with her. OK, and instead let her talk instead of telling her that it's wrong. And, you know, don't say this is my money that I work hard for. You do an office job. I do manual labor. That doesn't matter. You know, you guys are both contributing to the household fund.

What made her feel like she could do this without consulting with you? Maybe she felt like if she asked you, you would say no. I don't know what her reason is. Right. But she just needs to know how it made you feel and why it made you feel that way. And it breaks a trust that you might've had in her knowing that she would do something like this now because she's never done anything like this before. Okay. I get that.

You know, so you need to approach it like, look, I love you. We haven't had any issues. You've never done anything like this before. Let's have an honest conversation on why you felt like this would be appropriate. And then I will let you know how this made me feel, but I would love to hear what your explanation is so we can discuss this and move forward knowing that we can't do things like this because we have a bond and we have a trust that we can't break.

Yeah, I get that. I get that. All right. I will definitely have a conversation with her. You know, find out what the circumstances were. Maybe it was some emergency that she knew. Maybe she felt like if I ask him, he's going to say no. And so I'll just do it and deal with, you know, the repercussions from it. I don't know what her reason is.

Only she knows that. And you need to find out. I appreciate that. I mean, I got the information, which was you need to put a down payment on a house. But it's just you don't do it and then tell me after the fact. No, you don't. And he needs to pay that money back. And you guys need to discuss that as well, how those terms are going to work.

Correct. Correct. All right. Thank you very much for your time. Okay. All right. Take care. Thank you.

Toronto, Ontario. Toronto, Ontario. Yes. All right, Damien. And we love to hear from you. Thank you. Toronto, Ontario. Toronto, Ontario. Yes. All right, Damien. Represent. And we love to hear from you. Thank you. No problem.

And like, I don't know what to do now, because like, he cool. But like, I don't know. So you said that's your ex-best friend? Yeah, we stopped talking like two, three years ago and he said that they

kind of messed around like back in 07, 08. Oh girl, that's like, how long ago was that? 15 years ago? I know, but it's still like That's not even your friend anymore. He was so unimportant in her life that she never even mentioned it to you

and she could have but my head is bad well I hope it's not for his sake but I'm just saying you only know about this because he told you you didn't know ahead of time the girl you're not even friends with her anymore right right right I can see if that was your current best friend

but you know I mean I don't think there's anything wrong with that at this point. If y'all were still friends, I would tell you to call her. You know, just be like, look, girl, I didn't know. So this is what happened. I started talking to him. And then he saw you in a picture and said he used to talk to you. I don't feel comfortable. What are your thoughts?

Listen, Kai, and I love the fact that you have a conscience and that you even thought about this, but don't let thoughts of, oh, well, he was with her, da-da-da. 15 years ago, everybody was completely

different than they are now. Right, right. You're right about that. It just was on my mind, so I had to get, I had to see, make sure I wasn't losing it. No, you're not doing

Let's get into the smoke. Did he really drop a bag on you in the Chanel stuff? Hey! So how you felt when he took your car back? Don't tell your business on the blogs. Like no one knows who I'm talking about and if they did, they'd be like. Did he ever cheat on you?

I don't know know have you ever cheated in a relationship i agree with everything you're saying all right that'll be our apm tonight can't ask me if i'm cheating in a relationship and then cut to me saying i agree with everything you're saying. Jesus Christ. But I will be watching. Dropping loose palms for Carisha. Young Miami. Alright, and get ready. Listen, all about the ladies right now.

Nicki Minaj is teasing two super freaky girl remixes. So here is what she put up that has everybody excited. Hey y'all, it's the queen mix right here. Miami, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Spinning, excited all right she wrote this remix though Queen mix on the way and she said at least one and a possible second one y'all? I didn't hear who she teased.

What was the tease? She just saying the cities. I heard the cities. She didn't say who it is. Oh, she just said the cities. She didn't say who it is. It's different cities. So everybody's speculating.

Is it going to be somebody, you know, from which city? From all those cities? Who knows? Probably going to be somebody from all those cities. I think. Yeah, she's probably going to give a look to some new ladies on the scene. You know, some ladies that haven't quite gotten there yet, but they're on their way.

Or not even that. Like, you know, she's really tight with Foxy Brown. Maybe Foxy. For New York. Alright, well in the meantime, Nicki Minaj's false nail from the VMAs reportedly sold for $55,000 on eBay. Remember that acrylic nail that we were talking about? Yep.

And they said it started off, it was already at like $17,000. Well, $55,000. Can you imagine that? That's a come up, boy. That nail father. What you mean that's a come up? Come up for who?

For whoever found that nail. What they going to do with the nail? Whoever sold it. They sold it. Oh, you said sold it. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. What you going to do with it? I thought you said somebody else would come up with whoever bought it.

They going to put it on their nails? I don't know what the hell they going to do with it? I thought you said somebody else would come up with whoever bought it. They're going to put it on their nails? I don't know what the hell they're going to do with it. They found a nail on the floor and sold it on eBay for $55,000? Are you sure they didn't buy that in Bitcoin? Let's make sure. Jesus Christ. All right, now, Lil' Kim is teasing a Megan Thee Stallion collaboration. And so, you know, I'm sure that's going to be exciting to see.

But she posted on the private jet with Megan Thee Stallion. You can see the two of them are doing a little toast together. And I guess that's going to debut today as well. So we're excited to hear that, too. All the ladies are doing it real big right now. And last but not least, let's talk about Eminem. Paul Rosenberg, who's Eminem's manager and business partner, has a podcast, The Paul Pod. And one thing that he talks to Eminem about is his near fatal overdose. You can hear his podcast on the Sirius XM app on Stitcher and other major podcast platforms. So here is what Eminem had to say. Took a long time for my brain to start working again.

Yeah. I mean, you literally were coming off of an overdose, they had to sort of stabilize you with a few medications and some of them took you a minute to adjust to, let's just leave it at that. Right. So you're learning how to wrap again, almost literally, right. Because it's the first time probably you were creating without having substances in your body in in however many years. Right. Yeah. Didn't you ask the doctors when I first started rapping again and send it to you? Didn't you say, like, I just want to make sure he doesn't have brain damage? Yeah, I thought you might. I thought you might have some permanent problems. Yeah, he said he was in a weird fog for months.

And so things he was saying just wasn't making sense. And it was so long since he had done vocals without Valium and Vicodin. He had to almost relearn everything. Wow. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right.
