Listen to Post Run High 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 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. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 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. Why can't I create my own 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 warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets.

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. Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets. How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And how would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your

life-altering medical procedure a secret from everyone? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child? These are just a few of the powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets. Some of you have been with us since season one and others are just tuning in. Whatever the case and wherever you are, thank you for being part of our Family Secrets family, where every week we explore the secrets that are kept from us, the secrets we keep from others, and the secrets we keep from ourselves. Listen to Season 11 of Family Secrets on the iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, you look so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami.

Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story,

as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I don't know. I didn't see enough to see you on. The 49ers went 24-9 over the Rams. I went to bed after halftime. I know Debo had that mean-ass 57-yard touchdown reception. That was dope.

Alright. What else we got, Yeezy? Donald Trump has sued CNN. That is for defamation and he's seeking punitive damages of $475 million. He'd probably win. I don't know how much he'll win, but he might win.

He says that they have been highlighting negative information about him, ignoring all positive information about him. They also said CNN has sought to use their massive influence purportedly as a trusted news source to defame the plaintiff in the minds of its viewers and readers for the purpose of

defeating him politically. Donald Trump also says CNN had a long track record of criticizing him but had ramped up its attacks in recent months because the network feared that he would run again for president in 2024. All right, here is some of the statements that CNN has posted that Trump said. The Department of Justice in 1973 charged Donald Trump and his father were discriminating against African-Americans. Donald Trump said, quote, black guys counting my money, I hate it.

A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white. If he wasn't born in this country, which is a real possibility, then he has pulled one of the great cons in the history of politics. A show of support from the KKK's official newspaper. We're going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump.

President Trump is ordering federal protection for Confederate monuments. Look at my African-American over here. The other man Donald Trump called my African-American says that he is leaving the GOP, can't support the president anymore. Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Maxine Waters, a seriously low IQ person. MAGA loves the black people. Well... He might have a case.

Why? But he really said those things. Yeah, but what do you say? Just because he said those things, what does that mean? What are you trying... What's the picture they're trying to paint of him, though? But if you say things, it's not defamation. It's not like they're making things up about him.

Yeah, but if they're painting him out to be... If they're saying, hey, he's racist, they gotta prove that. You know what I mean? Even though those statements, you may not agree with those statements, can you say, hey, that means he's racist just because he made those statements? I thought they were able to highlight some of the things that proved he was racist, whether it was not renting to black people in his apartment building and things like that. If those things

actually happened, that's not a definition. I agree, but if you come out on the radio and say, hey, he's a racist because he didn't do X, Y, and Z, he can sue. I'm not saying he's gonna win, but he might have a case. And that's what happens when you are an opinion-based platform. That's the risk you run. Correct. When you're out here just expressing opinions, that's the risk you run.

Somebody might hit you with defamation. I would think any news network could get sued then because somebody could say, well, you weren't in this side of the story. And they do though but i just don't i think defamation is you know they're using your actual words and quoting what you actually said and i don't see how that's defamation because you don't have to prove something that you really said if it's a direct quote if he can prove malicious intent is defamation that's the whole point of defamation defamation you got to prove that it's malicious intent like they have malicious intent behind the things, the narrative that they're pushing about you. So that's why he said

they're doing that because they're afraid that he might run for president. Or it's a lie that somebody said about you as well. That too. But yes, so there you go. $475 million. That's the risk you run when you are an opinion-based platform, though. When you're an opinion-based platform and it's not rooted in

fact and it's just, hey, he said these things and she said these things and this is how we feel about it. I just can't lie about somebody. That's the risk you run. Absolutely. All right, and Joe Biden has visited Puerto Rico after Hurricane Fiona and he is committed to recovery, he said, as long as it takes.

Here's what he said as far as giving aid to Puerto Rico. I'm encouraged by all the stories that are opening up the hospitals that have kept running, the supply chains that held steady, and the debris has already begun to be cleared on roads across the island, and we will continue the debris coverage. Today, I'm announcing more than $60 million in funding to help coastal areas in Puerto Rico become better prepared for the storm. For example, we can create a flood warning system to help shore up levees and flood walls. In addition, there's nearly $700 million in infrastructure investments in Puerto Rico

that have already been announced. All right, he says, you know, they want to make sure again that Puerto Rico is ready for when the next hurricane strikes. And here's what he had to say about that. This year, to date, Puerto Rico has received four million to help make the power grid more resilient. That number is going to go up as we convey to the governor. I'm ready to deploy and expedite more resources from the Department of Energy and other federal agencies. Not just I don't usually talk this fast.

It looks like it's moving quickly — to help transform the entire system so Puerto Rico — the Puerto Rican people can get clean, reliable, affordable power they need. And the power stays in homes and hospitals when storms like Fiona strike. That includes mini-grids, which she can begin to deploy soon, so we are less dependent on transmission lines

across the long distances and more redundancy when the storms hit the goal is lower energy bills and more reliable power for puerto rican households all right and that is your front page news it's just mind boggling how we have all these hurricanes all the time and and with all the technology we have and all these other things that we were able to do you know we haven't been able to do some of those warnings and and and help you know before this actually happens i mean they do do warn us they let you know the hurricane is coming yeah but that's what he says we're gonna announce things to you know produce faster warnings and you know try to create ways where

the hurricane doesn't affect you know hit the island as hard i just feel like you know well they've been having issues with this power grid in Puerto Rico because, you know, they have one. And so once it goes down, it goes out everywhere. So now he's talking about doing these mini grids. All right. Well, that is your front page news. 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. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest.

It's an emotion. Emotions are not bad or good. That's what my sacred purpose coach says all the time. I don't use the word hate in my house. That's just me. Yeah, hate. You got to teach these children to feel what they feel it's negative it's not positive emotions are emotions so if they hate something that's an emotion it's

not negative or positive that's cool in your household we don't use the word hate in my household that's all but a household thing and these are mental health things no we don't use the word hate to say what they're feeling our kids my kids can use other words than hate we don't want them to use words hate so they can use other words than hate. We don't want them to use the word hate. So they can use other words than hate. What if you really hate something? They can express themselves a little better than just hate. Exactly.

What if you really hate something? Like, what do you say? Didn't your wife call you last week and say you don't use hate in your household too? Yeah, but what if you really hate something? Words matter. I really don't like it. I really dislike it. There's other words you can use besides hate.

It's not strong enough, though. Okay. So you just dislike the devil? Yeah. You just dislike the devil? I dislike him a lot. I feel it. Oh, okay.

Yeah, I'm with you. Hate is an emotion. I'm with you. Okay. Yeah, emotions are neither negative nor positive. We have to get away from that because then people don't want to be honest about how they really feel. Yeah, they can be honest.

We just don't use the word hate. We don't use the word fat. There's a couple words we just don't use. Well, fat, that's something different. An emotion, neither negative nor positive. I'm going to be coming to the Mental Wealth Expo.

Oh, I can't wait to see you Saturday. I hate that I'm not going to be there to see you. That's a great use of the word. Yes, I hate that. I hate that too for you. I'm sorry. I can't wait to see you Saturday, man. 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Power 105.1 this is your time to get it off your chest whether you're mad or blessed so you better have the same energy we want to hear from you on the breakfast club hello who's this hey this is your girl, T.C. Hey, what's up, T.C.? T.C., man.

T.C. I thought she said P.C. T.C.? T for Tom. T for Tom. Oh, Lord. What up, T.C.? Listen, man, I want to get off my chest.

I've always been wanting to work in hospitality. I just started working at this luxurious hotel. I really started working there for, like, the discount. Oh, boy. And, man. You don't seem too hospitable. I'm started working there for like the discount. Oh boy. And man. You don't seem too hospitable. I'm going to be honest with you. Yeah, you don't seem so

that makes me feel warm and cuddly. Well, it's early in the morning. I'm trying to be quiet. My wife's sleeping. You know how that is. I'm so confused. Me too. Ma'am or sir?

It's early in the morning. What's your pronoun? Ma'am. Okay, ma'am. It's early in the morning. All right, ma'am. It's early in the morning. All right, ma'am. Last time I called, Charlamagne called me sir, but...

I didn't mean to, ma'am. At least he didn't lead with it. Anywho, I was going to tell y'all I work at this luxurious hotel, you know, where governors stay, all that. And, man. Ma'am, you got to speed it up a little bit, ma'am.

I can hear her. Ma'am what, ma'am? Ma'am what? What happens? It's so trifling. There's always a back door. So many roaches and stuff running around back there. All I got to tell y'all is whenever y'all stay at a hotel,

make sure y'all ask for plastic silverware. Silverware be dropping on the floor, they put it back in the thing and serve it to y'all. I mean, it's that. Okay. In the back area. Duh. Also, Charlamagne, I called June 29th for my brother to get an autographed book, the Schick ones.

I never received it. June 29th? For real? That was my B-Day. Yeah, because I said his was June 30th. Oh. I hit him out and everything. Well, let me see.

You hold on. We're going to put you on hold, okay? We're very short-staffed up here, so I'm going to find out what happened. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is BMO from the Metro. How y'all doing, man? What's up, brother? 803, what's happening?

Get it off your chest. Yes, sir. Man, I feel like Donald Trump is kind of tripping. It's like, if you're going to sue CNN, it's like, why not do this after you lose the election? Like, why not do this when Chris Cobo gets out? Like, it's about to be midterms, and it's like you fledging in that last attempt to try to make a run towards 2024. It just looks like you're burning out. Like, what happened to all the money for your campaign election defense fund

that you were stealing from your supporters? That's right. He definitely still got that tucked away, but that's why he got money to sue a big network like CNN. Yeah, man, I don't think it's going to work, man. We'll see how it goes. I don't know if it'll work, but you know, he might have a case because he's saying that they pushed that narrative about him

because they want to ruin any future political campaigns, and that's not what a network is supposed to do. A network is supposed to be fair and balanced. If they never highlight anything positive he's done, he might have a case. I don't know if he'll win, but, you know, it's a good enough distraction. I agree. I just, like I said, I think it's a little late.

Like, Chris Como's at another news network that's already passed. Like, post-production is about to come on TV. It just seems like it's a while back. Oh, yeah, but he's not suing the individual. He's suing the network. Like, the one individual don't stop no show. Yeah, yeah, you're right about that. We'll see.

Thank you, brother. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and can artists be blackballed? We'll tell you what artists says, that fans will listen or they won't. There's no such thing as blackballing an artist.

All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. 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 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 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. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?

It's time, time, time. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Alright, well, Rush chimed into this conversation on whether or not artists can be blackballed. This all has to do with the baby feeling like he's blackballed.

He posted on his stories previously, not bad for the blackballed baby after his album sold 16,000 units in the first week. Well, here is what Rush had to say in his Instagram story. He said, I just want to give my two cents on something in my industry. No artist is blackballed unless they cut off your Wi-Fi, remove your social media accounts and take your music off all the streaming platforms. You are not blackballed. If you are famous and can still tell your fans, hey, I'm putting out music, then you're not blackballed. Fans will listen to your music or they won't. It's that simple. Also, if you are a famous artist and you need playlists in order for

people to listen to your music, how real are your your fans why don't they support you regardless we're giving too much credit and power to dsps and not enough power to us the artists and the fans i know for me as long as i can tell my fans i'm putting out music i'm straight i'm not entitled to any playlist nor do i need them for my fans to listen to me that's why they're my fans no he's he's absolutely positively wrong you can't be blackballed and we're seeing it with theBaby. Whether it's record labels telling DJs not to play the record or it's not added to those playlists where people will hear

where other artists are on those playlists and selling more records and streaming more records. So yes, they are blackballing DaBaby right now. I see both sides. It's not cut or dry. It's nuanced to it, right? Like Russ does have a point. Fans definitely will listen or they won't. But to your point, you do have people

who can turn these lights off. Yes, absolutely. If you're at these streaming platforms and they got these editorial playlists, you know, and they can keep you

off those playlists. You got program directors and DJs who won't play your records. You got people in charge of touring companies and they can keep you out of certain venues.

Yes, they can blackball you. They can blackball you if they want. But I get what Russ is saying. As long as you have access to your fans and the fans have access to your music they'll find you. Like NBA Youngboy. He may not get radio play

but his fans definitely find him. He's not blackballed. Yeah, he just don't get radio play. He doesn't get radio play. Radio's out of touch. That's all. The baby is going to be going on tour though and that tour starts off October 27th in Minneapolis. Alright, now Who the baby is going to be going on tour, though, and that tour starts off October 27th in Minneapolis. All right, now, Whoopi Goldberg is responding to a critic who claimed that she was wearing a fat suit in the Emmett Till movie.

She said a lady who writes for one of the magazines, and that was the Daily Beast is the magazine that she was referencing, had something to say about the movie Till, where Whoopi Goldberg plays Emmett Till's grandmother. Here is what Whoopi Goldberg had to say in response to that writer. There was a young lady who writes for one of the magazines and she was distracted by my fat suit. Now, I'm just going to say this. I don't really care how you felt about the movie, but you should know that was not a fat suit. That was me. And that was steroids.

Remember last year? I had you were OK. And I was very, very sick. And so hospital and I assume you don't watch the show or you would have known that that was not a fat suit. But I just want to let you know that it's OK not to be a fan of a movie, but you want to leave people's looks out, because I'm sure you didn't mean to be demeaning. That's what she got out of that movie? Whoever saw that movie? Yeah, why would you even say that?

Like, I saw Till, and not once did I think about how Whoopi looked. I was too busy trying not to have a panic attack because of how Emmett Till looked in that casket after those crack-ass crackers lynched him. Okay, commenting on Whoopi's weight is a way of not commenting on the reality of America that movie brings to light. Now, the Daily Beast did not return a request for comment, but they did delete that part of the article about the distracting fat suits. All right. that she thinks that the woman who, Carolyn Bryant Donham, the white woman behind Emmett Till's lynching, who is still a free woman,

still has not even, you know, come forward to state that she did those things and that she was responsible for that lynching. Yeah, that's one thing I learned when I saw Till. Like, because, you know, there was always reports that the woman confessed to the crime and it's like that never happened. She still never has come forward to let people know that it was her.

At least do that part. That's wild. I thought they just released a story. I thought we even reported it. That's what I thought, too. I was like, wow. I don't want to give too much. Well, I guess.

I mean, it's already out. But, yeah, they show that in the movie that never happened. She never confessed to lying about what she said that Mattel did to her. Oh, wow. All right. Now, Shaquille O'Neal is going to be on the next Drink Champs. That's coming out on Thursday on Revolt. And here is the teaser for that episode.

I feel like you're the best basketball rapper of all time. Yes. My agent called me and said, you ain't going to believe this. I said, what? He said, Jive offered you $10 million for three albums. I was like, ooh, I went platinum. And they showed me the check. And I was like, this some bulls**t.

They used to say Shaq can be the best guy in the world, but he's not a great free throw shooter. Can't be mad at that. You know why? Because you can't break my throat. And you a cop in Miami-Dade County still, right? I wasn't until you just blew my cover. Come on, man.

Let's drink to Tennessee color. On today's episode of Smith Champs. Drop on the Clues bombs for Nori and DJ EFN, man. I love Shaq. Drink Champs is cooking. Salute to Shaq. Make sure y'all subscribe to the Drink Champs podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network.

I will definitely be listening to that Shaq conversation. All right. Well, that is your rumor reports. Wanted a Shaq drink? I don't know. That's a good question. I guess we'll see. I'm going to ask Norah.

Norah, did Shaq drink? That's a good question. I haven't seen the trailer yet. All right. We got front page news next. What are we talking about? All right. Well, let's start it off with student loan forgiveness.

Now, student loan forgiveness applications are going to be open early October. And so just going to give you some clarification on the whole process and how you can sign up. All right. We'll get to that 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. Now, on Monday Night Football, the 49ers beat the Rams 24-9. Now, my Giants play this week in London. So how many games do they have in London this year? Do you know? I have no idea. I don't care. Don't ask me about no damn Giants.

Why do I care about the Giants and how many games? We got our Giants jackets. Yeah, we got our Giants jackets. You know what? Maybe New Era sent you a Giants jacket, too. I'm going to burn it. No, you, too. I'm going to burn it. No, you're not. I'm going to burn it.

It's a nice jacket. When I was younger, my mother had bought me a Washington Redskins Mark Ripien sweatshirt. Mark Ripien used to be their quarterback. Number 11. He was on the front. My daddy took that thing in the front yard and burned it. Dropping the clues bombs for cowboy out there in Kittfield, South Carolina. What made her value that at all?

That's kind of like abuse. I don't know. Maybe she didn't realize how much my dad loved the Cowboys. But I mean, why that particular team in person? Because we didn't have

much money. I needed a sweatshirt. It was on sale. That was a family dollar. Oh, okay. I thought she was like there's some type of reason. We used to have to burn our trash.

We from the country. We used to have to burn our trash in the yard. Threw that thing right on the trash pile, burnt it up. So I would do the same thing to that Giants jacket this morning. You put your trash on the front lawn and burn it?

Yes. Dropping the clues bombs for all those country folk. You could give it away to somebody. Shut up. That'd be nice. What? Give it away to where? The jacket. Just give it away to somebody.

I can do that too. I can give that to Goodwill. It's a way nicer thing to do. Burning it would be way more fire on Instagram. No. Literally. Now let's talk about student loan forgiveness and some of the dates that you need to know. In early October now, student loan forgiveness applications are open.

So if you want to be notified on when the process has officially commenced, you have to go and sign up at the Department of Education subscription page. Okay. have to go and sign up at the Department of Education subscription page, okay? In January, on January 1st, regular student loan payments are resuming after a three-year moratorium. So interest will start accruing again on your remaining balances. So for everybody who had that break, just get ready for that to start up again. And then November 15th is the deadline to apply for student loan forgiveness in order to receive debt cancellation

by the time the payment pause expires on December 31st. So the Department of Education expects a four to six week turnaround for that forgiveness. And then the final deadline to apply for student loan forgiveness is December 31st.

Now, what happened last week? Because I know the Biden administration, they quietly scaled back a lot of the debt relief because of the legal challenges that they were facing from the banks, from the private banks. Yeah, from the student loan industry and that lawsuit from those Republican-led states. It was like six states that are suing.

Well, some of the loans, what they were saying was if you had a private loan from a bank that you would be able to I guess get it to restructure it so that you can get it to be like a government loan. But they actually now are saying that those people don't qualify. Yeah, I don't understand that. Like the education department said it would no longer allow borrowers who have federal student loans that are owned by private entities to qualify for the relief program. That's because the banks were going to sue the private banks.

So in order to avoid that happening. Do people know that? Like, I mean, they didn't announce that loudly. I mean, it was it was kind of quiet. We did report it. We did report it when it happened the next day, but it hasn't been advertised. It happened last Thursday. Yeah, we reported it when it happened.

OK. And so, yeah. So we did say that there are people now who aren't going to qualify that they thought originally would be able to qualify. So that did actually affect, I think it says about 770,000 people will be affected by that change. All right, and Chris Cuomo is returning to primetime news. He has his first show back. And that show is called Cuomo on News Nation.

And he said he did learn his lessons. I've relied on my family, my friends, my therapist. I've been humbled by what happened. And I'm also hungry to do better in a way that I've never been before. So this show is going to be different than what I've done in the past because I'm different. You may know this, but I was raised by a giant named Mario Cuomo. So I've seen the inner workings of campaigns. Now you add to that the fact that I've been doing this job for more than 20 years.

Don't let the makeup fool you. So I know the deal inside and out. The hope is to get viewers like you more involved and empowered. That's why I'm at NewsNation. It's new. No group think established here. After all, NewsNation refers to you, America. You are the NewsNation and we will keep the focus on your interests. All right. If you guys recall, you know, he got fired by CNN in December of 2021.

And that was for using his media sources to advise his brother, who was the governor at the time, Andrew Cuomo, through that sexual harassment scandal that he had. All right, that is your front page news. All right. Now, when we come back, Fat Joe will be joining us.

We'll kick it with Fat Joe. Of course, he's hosting the BET Hip Hop Awards tonight, so we're going to kick it with him. And shout to New Era, who sent me, myself and Charlamagne some gear. That's just right there. Yeah, open it up. These jackets are really nice.

And these baseball hats. They know me. New Era know me. Streets know what it is. See, I'm so consistent. I'm so consistent. That's what happens when you're consistent. When you're consistent, people know who you are. I'm consistent. They sent me a nice Dallas Cowboys, New Era starter. They know better.

They know better. Thank you, New Era. I appreciate you. I'm not a flip-floppy person. All right? Okay? I was hoping it was a New Era jacket. Nothing wrong with being consistently inconsistent.

All right. When we come back, Fat Joe will be joining us. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. It's legendary understatement at this point when you say Fat Joe. Go, Joey. Understatement, right? Icon. Icon.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fat Joe, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome. I'm trying to say, if Angela Yee announced she's not here no more, what is the girl doing here? You don't want to leave. Trust me, I want to leave. No, you got to stop. Like, I mean, you made her cry and all that.

What is this? Like, you wanted attention or something? Like, you know, you know, you know. Why is she still doing that? The family member that just won't go? No, it's like when a player

announces their retirement, they get the victory lap for the rest of the season. She did it. You're right, Joe. You know what? Y'all, Angela,

I think I want your job, Angela. I want your job. Oh, that would be amazing. Can I be a third member of the Breakfast Club? I'm sure that you've gotten

offered a million radio shows already. Nah, not the right one. Remy's already joining, so the two of you together. Who? The Breakfast Club. Yeah, they say Remy, that's the rumor. They say Remy's joining us.

Oh, that'd be incredible. I did not hear that. Imagine both of them. I'm not pleased. Get me off the list. I don't want shots fired. And then after that. She told me like, what?

You trying to take my shot? I'm like, yo, trust me. It's hard having a sister like that. I might need a little theme all the way up or something. Way up with Angela Yee. Way up with Angela Yee. I got you, man. But I'm just like, I thought we cried.

It was a moment, right? And now you're still here. She's still here. You know what? I was supposed to be gone this month. But I think with the holidays coming up, they were like, let's just wait till January.

Yes. What's going on? BET Hip Hop Awards. Tonight. Tonight. The Hip Hop Awards, BET, 9 p.m. We got the host, Fat Joe,

right here with us. So how was hosting that show? Did you get nervous at all? I asked you before. All right. Now I'm going to be honest with you. Yes. Right?

I was never nervous, even when you asked me that question. When they said, and you before. Alright, now I'm gonna be honest with you. Yes. Right? I was never nervous. Even when you asked me that question. When they said, and you're a host, Fat Joe, I felt like somebody kicked me in the chest. My whole breath went... I never even felt this before. I never even knew what this feel like. I started breathing like...

When they said, and the host, and I knew what was going on because we rehearsed it so much. I was like, oh, you know, that was it. That was just that one second. Once I turned around, it was like, all right, we here now. Like, it was just so comfortable. You know, all the artists are my family.

Even the ones coming up. I would never do nothing. Jim Jones hit me up and said, he said something with the COVID test. COVID protocol. Oh, it was a COVID test. COVID protocol. And they tested me twice a day. Right.

They were coming to my hotel in the morning, testing me. Then I get the test. Like, it was just a, you know what I really asked them when I walked in there? I said, now, what if I got COVID? Who's the back of the house? You don't have a host? No.

But why are you going to do it to yourself it's almost like you know i'm like yo don't even don't let me get caught now so how did you get the call how did bt reach out to you saying oh man this is sickness man it was crazy i was in my office in the crib and i got a phone call from connie what's up connie what's up what up and so she called me and she's like are you sitting down i said yes she was like am i speaking sitting down? I said, yes. She was like, am I speaking to the host of this year's hip-hop BET award? I was like, ahhh!

Start running around. You know, some things get you excited. I have never been happier in years than doing this BET hip-hop awards. Man, it was a tremendous experience for me. And I got to show off and wear every fly outfit I wanted. Nah, that's too much.

You can't give me that. My outfit changed. Now you got to stop. How does the world look to you, Fat Joe? And what I mean by that is, man, you see you, you know, you're filling in for Wendy. See you on Drew Barrymore doing yoga. And now you're hosting the BET Awards. Coming from the extremes you came from.

TV show coming about your life and books and everything. But that's, I understand. I'm talking about just kind of like the mainstream embrace of Fat Joe. I don't know. Fat Joe's pretty mainstream. You know what I'm saying? We like to keep it black and brown all the time. But the truth is, white people, they love Fat Joe, too.

They love What's Love. They love, you know. I'm one of the most recognizable faces in hip-hop anywhere. Like, there's nothing. I could tell you one time I went to Morocco, and I got in the thing. And I don't want to stereotype nobody, but they just drove in the desert, kept driving for like an hour. I said, oh, they got me.

The Taliban. The Taliban got me. I said, I really thought I was getting kidnapped. And they just kept riding into the desert, riding into the desert. I was like, it was nothing but camels and shit. I was like, aw. They pull up into this hotel. It was like literally an oasis.

In the middle of nowhere, like two hours into the desert, we go up in there. I'm like, oh, shit, it's fly. There was two white girls suntanning by the pool. The whole shit was empty. It was two white girls. White girl turned around. She was like, oh, this fly. There was two white girls suntanning by the pool. The whole shit was empty. It was two white girls. White girl turned around. She's like, oh, that's Fat Joe. Hey.

And turned back around. I said, damn, you famous, man. You just thought I was getting kidnapped by a child, man. Out of nowhere, a white girl turned around, and she's like, oh, Fat Joe, how are you? I said, damn, you famous. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, I've always been like a mainstream. And behind the scenes, you know, I'm a family man.

I'm a great person. People know me. We get along. You know, that's who I am, realistically. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, we always like to keep it uplifting our people. But we really are for everybody. And if you keep your ears open, you'll always hear a new Fat Joe story.

I heard a new Fat Joe story recently. I overheard some people talking, and they said that, did you help to discover Daddy Yankee or something like that? No, I wouldn't say that. They got really mad at me with that story. First of all, it was the first Drink Champs,

and so people ain't understand what a podcast is. Podcasting is almost like gossiping. But if you say the truth and you get the facts, then it is what it is. But Daddy Yankee used to be up here in the Bronx, and he used to be running down on us like crazy. He'd be like, yo, yo, yo, you know what I'm saying? He'd be like, yo, you the leader, you the leader.

He was following us everywhere. Look, man, you know, this is before Reggaeton blew up. And so the wild story I told that was crazy was that, you know, I always liked this guy. Like, I've always had love for him. And then when he put out his record and he blew up, the guy Selena, I was so happy for him from far away. I didn't see him.

And then Leanback's number one in America. So they both coming up. And then I finally got to see him in Madison Square Garden. And when I seen him, I was so happy to see him. The man turned around like he never met me in his life. Wow. He turned around and was like, acting like, boom. I was like, no way.

Like, I can't believe this guy. I've known this guy 10 years. You know, it was a very big disappointment. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, every time I see him, it's like cool, but it's like, you know, yeah. Never the same. Yeah, it's not the same. All right, we got more with Fat Joe when we come back.

He's hosting the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards tonight. So keep it locked. 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 Fat Joe.

He's hosting the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards tonight. And what's going on with your accountant picking? Man, I wouldn't tell you it's my accountant picking because the BDO, the accountants we talking about, they're everybody's accountant. They're the biggest accountants. So what happens is we think we're supposed to trust these people and so what i could tell everybody out there every athlete

it really mostly because you're a businessman you probably most likely watch it every athlete every artist don't trust them don't trust the business manager don't trust the accountants because we trust them to keep our family safe. And the saddest thing is when you turn around and you trust these people and you turn around and say, yo, these people stealing from me. Ponzi scheme. Like, this is not a game. Like, these people really stealing my money,

taking fake credit cards under my wife's name, going to the ATM every day, pulling out cash, you know, robbing other baseball players and robbing, like, they were Ponzi schemes. How do you protect yourself from that? They were paying my... The way you protect yourself is, unfortunately, you got to go to Oprah 101, watch all your money.

Since I caught this, I've been signing my own checks, confirming my own wires. And it's crazy because it's a lot more stressful. It is. And I hate that. I hate to think about money. The way Fat Joe do it is I just work, work, work, work, work, and know I'm making money. I don't want to watch every single thing my wife buys, my daughter buys.

You know, I don't like that. So we trust these people and turn around. They robbing us in every corner. It's incredible. And we try to go to them. I never sued nobody in my life. You know how many people robbed from me? You know how many people stole my songs

and did Lean Back 100? Lean with it. Rock with it. Everybody could have been sued. But this was it. And this is a wake-up call, not just for Fat Joe because BDO did what they did. We talked to them and was like, yo, look, you're stealing. The assistant

was paying her daughter's tuition? Come on. Her daughter's tuition? This is out of control. How did you catch him? My crib, the mortgage company told me, it's the same that happened to me before. I went to jail for something. That's what I was asking. it's the same that happened to me before I went to jail for something. I was asking. It's the same play, bro. I walked out like I'm making money.

I don't know if you understand that. Right. Like I'm on fire. Like there's just no way. No, no, no, no. I am being honest. I'm like a mother race car. I'm getting honest. It's true. I'm like a motherfucking race car. All you cigarette dicks. I'm getting it, right? So when the mortgage company called me and they're like, hey, you're late on your payment.

I'm like, this is impossible. It must be a mistake. So when they sent me the shit that we missed payments, I'm like, I got a weird feeling in my stomach. And I said, damn, this feel like last time. And then we start looking at it. We see this. We see this. We see this.

We see this. We see this. We see this. I'm like, oh, my God. And so what happens is, listen, artists, everybody who has an accountant in the game need to check and get a forensic accountant to check your money. Because these people start thinking your money's their money. Like, I start thinking about the woman the woman's at.

My daughter's sweet 16, right? And I'm thinking about, if she's a real crook, which she is, right? She's sitting down. She's probably sitting there with her husband like, you believe this guy spent all our money in this party?

You believe this guy spent all our money in this party? And it's so, it's crazy because you're working to secure your family, and the people who are supposed to protect you are robbing you. This is the second time this happened to me. Like, same play. So what happens to them now? Well, we had to sue them, and we didn't want to do it,

but we sued them and say, hey, look, we're showing you 10 15 different examples with proof that your people are right like we was we was paying with my credit card hundreds of thousands on baseball players it's a ponzi scheme rob p didn't give the ball we was paying other people's credit cards right like 100 000,000 for baseball players I never met in my life. Then we got some payments on my credit card that baseball players clicked. Nah, it was incredible. Like, this is like a real, this is a big problem. And I never wanted to tell nobody.

You know, I'm no rat. You know what I'm saying? But principle is principle. You cannot steal millions of dollars from me and think we not coming. And I'm already paying you. Too much money. When we started figuring out how much we was paying them, we went back because they ain't been giving us our, that's another thing.

They ain't give us our records. When we figured out this, we have to figure this all out ourself. Like they didn't give us like, you would think they'd be like, oh, you're my partner. Maybe the employee stole. We want to help you. It's been straight up, like, no help. So they hiding something.

Oh, they know. They know that she stole, but they also know. But they messed up because I told them I am the mouth of the South. Like, you do not want me talking about you robbed me with a megaphone. Like, you know, you robbed me. Look, we have the proof. Why don't you just pay me back nah sue us so the arrogancy of such a big company they're like nah get it sue us

oh you don't f**k up now so the last conversation i had with this employee i said yo vanessa you know if you stole i'm gonna catch you the last words, oh, no, I never, and everybody's response is always, no, no, no, no. And so now they got me on high alert. Now I'm watching everything. $9.99, $10. I'm watching everything smoking. Listen, the first thing I do every morning

when I wake up is check all my accounts and credit cards. Very, very. Before I even look at Instagram. You look like you check your accounts. I do, I do. I check everything. Hey, guess what?

Since I've been checking my account, boy, that thing is rising to the top, boy. God damn. You know what? I check all my accounts, but the only thing is you're going to watch what your daughter spends

and what your wife spends all the time. They out of control. You black baby girl. I mean, come on. No, I'm going to be honest with you. I mean, they ain't stealing. You know what I mean?

They not like the account. Boy, they know how to help themselves. Who knows? And they don't hear no type of like, yo, we got to watch out. We got to be. Nah, they don't know what that means. All the way up. Oh.

Yo, they do not know what that means. Now, you was on Charlamagne's show, and people took something that you said and didn't understand it. They didn't understand it. You understood it? Those are people outside of the culture though. That's the way I explained it. People inside the culture understand like that is the best case scenario.

Just take what I got leave me to be. Leave me alive. Alright guys, so for me to simplify it for people who've never been involved with crime. I wasn't talking to y'all. I was talking directly to the guys who stick people up. And hopefully we save some lives.

That's what I was trying to do. And so for some reason, you asked me what's my position. I realized that as an OG in the game, they've been in the street and the streets respect me. It's my obligation now to talk to the youth and let them know the truth. Now, people been robbing people before Christ. Now, if you rob, the point I was going to, what I was trying to make was like,

why you got to kill the man and take his life? That's the only problem I got. Two days ago, I watched a guy rob a bodega. He in New York. The man was on his knees praying. He showed him the stashes like, yo, look, look, you forgot something. Went in the refrigerator. Yeah, there you go, piece.

Guy turned around. Bah! Shoots him in the head. That's pure evil. Yeah. Because my thing is when you rob somebody, your ribs is touching. You got to eat. I know they're going to do that.

I have done that. You see, so I speak from a position. Now, if I would have went with Charlamagne on the beautiful show and said, you guys, they would have been like, yo, you're a hypocrite, bro. You were sticking dudes up in the Bronx. We know. So I had to keep it real with the people I was talking to. But never.

I work every day. I just told you a situation where a guy with a suit is robbing me. I don't want no one to get robbed. That was not the message. The message was like, hey, guys, I know y'all f*** with me. Y'all don't kill, bro. Do me a favor, man.

Just rob them. Alright, we got more with Fat Joe when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Fat Joe. He's hosting the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards tonight. Now, have you and Irv spoke since?

No. I seen Chris Gotti last night. I love him. I love Irv Gotti. I love his whole entire family, his mother. Now, my problem was, like, if you're Remy Ma, you're Shanti, you're shanti you're my sis when i see you sis i love you sis no matter how much i love a person i cannot sit there and watch this man disrespect my sister right i feel like a sucker if i don't address it now i've been so used to ig and cameras

being in my face maybe was that the right platform or maybe it was a private call? Don't know. It's done already. But Irv Gotti's correct. I'm not his friend. I love him. He's my brother. He helped me at a time when nobody wanted to help me.

And I'll never forget that. And so what you got to understand is girls, I call them my sister. They feel so protected because I don't give you perv vibes. I never gave you a perv vibe. Never, never. I'm not that type of guy. Joey is a good time to go out. He gonna have fun,

be friendly to everybody. You know, people think Fat Joe got the terror squad. I'm really protected by women because I respect them so much. So that was all about me. So when Chris, Chris is one of my best friends on Earth.

When he approached me, I say, yo, bro, that's my sister, bro. Yeah, but you know, they're a real tight family. So Earth feels a way. Chris feels the same way. That's how they get down. But I've seen him two times since then.

Yesterday I seen him, he had a bigger smile. Love you, brother. You know, so this is going to, time is going to do what it's got to do. But me personally, I want everybody to know he's my brother. That's how I feel about the N-word conversation.

It feels like every few years, it's Fat Joe can't use the N-word. And I'm like, well, they've been saying that since the 90s. Like, why the war? It's in the book. The 90s. First of all, my projects is 90%.

I'll give you 80% black. Still, my grandmother's projects is 99.9% black. So I'm Spanish. I knew I was Latino, but the whole time I thought I was black anyway. So my mom's lived there 40 years before I was born. And I'm born blonde hair, green eyes. This is crazy, right? She brings me there.

The first thing they go, look. Oh, look at this little Joey. He got green eyes. That's all I knew my whole life, before even elementary. And so it's a lot of woke society or something going on these days and Twitter and all that. I guess they don't understand where I've come from, where I was born. I wish we never used it.

I've been trying to stop. You know what I'm saying? But I've been saying this since I was born. I mean, do I look like a racist? The conversation is always confusing to me because I thought in New York that was a thing. It is a thing. I thought in New York that was a thing. Latinos say it is a thing. You need to judge a person by who their character truly is, who they really are,

who they represent. Let me be clear on this. Fat Joe's for black and Latino people. Fat Joe, when he gives out food in the community, he gives it to black and Latino people. When Fat Joe opens a school in his store, he has black and Latino kids there. When he opens anything, it's always for both equally. When Fat Joe opens a school in his store, he has black and Latino kids there.

When he opens anything, it's always for both equally. When Farrakhan sees me, he says, peace, black man. That's right. That's right. Reverend Al Sharpton sees me,

he says, peace, black man. What do you want me to do? Am I cool some places? I'm cool not there. You know, I've been a mutt my whole career.

I've been too black for some Spanish people and been too black for some Spanish people and been too Spanish for some black people. Well, you're hosting today the Black Entertainment Television Awards. That's right. That's crazy. And it's amazing.

Don't you think sometimes you find yourself in arguments with kids that just might not know any better? Like, even when they say things like... You gotta stop, Charlie. No, when you said this, you got one on. You got the hand and all that.

Yo, you got it. You tell me about Latinos and hip hop. No. Can you please tell me about Latin? You've been there since the beginning. Mr. Black America. You got your own show. Can you please tell me about that?

They've been there since the beginning. God damn. Like, right. So money is. You know, it's a fact what I'm saying. Like a fact. Though this is a billion percent. Hip hop's 50 years old.

It was black and Latino. What the hell on earth you want me to tell you? Is this a diet Pepsi? I said, you know, this is no controversy. Oh, no, that's debatable now. This is no controversy. And I have an obligation. Being a true hip-hop culture, not only that,

we always been multiracial. Since day one, there was Asians, there was white people there, there was this, and we always taught each other. So now a lot of these people that are on Twitter and stuff like that, no disrespect, because I don't like to alienate nobody, but they're from different places. There ain't New York and the Bronx where it was created. I'm not making this up. This is what it is. I'm black, bro.

Fat Joe is black. I hate slavery. I hate oppression. I hate systemic racism. This is what you got to ask yourself, everybody, pro whatever. If you see a black woman getting harm on the corner, are you willing to die for her? Because I am. Read the book.

I get it. We should understand the pain. What happened? Don't take it out on me. Like I don't got s*** to do with this. I was born into projects on welfare. I'm under the same oppression. I got my

a** whooped 10 million times in the projects. By police. My ass whooped. Have you ever been dumped in a dumpster upside down, head first by the police? No. Oh, well, I have. You talk about police brutality? Oh, we can make a book on that.

Well, we're looking forward to seeing the BET Hip Hop Awards tonight at 9 p.m. Now, are you performing? I know you're coming out with the Loud Records. Definitely performing. Are you performing besides that? Loud Records. Wow. Diamonds is dancing legendary.

Clothes is too much. What about the Cyphers? Hip Hop looks so beautiful the cyphers was incredible they got a battle a smack battle yeah smack DVD

that was crazy the performances are sick I don't want to mess everything up you know I'm a producer I'm a producer I'm proud of you man

nah nah I went to his show y'all gotta understand man no one man can have it all. The only way to be strong is all your brothers and sisters got to win. I don't know what these people don't understand. That's real. If, Envy, you fall in trouble, say you do, God forbid, right?

You can pick up the call and be like, yo, Joe, yo, we're going to come together and help you. We're moving in your house big enough? Yep, that's a fact. We love you like that. No, no, we love you like that together and help you. We're moving in your house big enough. Yep, that's a fact. We love you like that. No, no, we love you like that. What about the kids, though? He got 12 of them.

Well, two of them are going to be out, so there's four left. Anyway, right? We have to be strong. Whether our friends own a barbershop, own a mechanic shop, own this. There's no such thing as one person winning. If everybody wins, then you can help each other. That's right. But what I'm saying, yo, give me a Diet Pepsi, please.

Didier, publicist. That's the second endorsement right there. No, no, no. People gamble. I got friends to get high. Fat Joe is a Diet Pepsi guy. There's nothing you

can do. I have refrigerators in every room. My daughter knows at three in the morning when I go to the bathroom and she hears that. She knows it's Joe. It doesn't have nothing to do with endorsement. But the fact that I can really enjoy something and still get paid from it, it's a female.

Joe, I gotta tell you. Martina said, Ask him to name Some of the performers And are there any surprises Come over here Because I don't know Who I should say Who I shouldn't say

Yeah You guys getting a lot of money, man. I love it, though. Well, it's Fat Joe tonight. Tune in 9 o'clock to BET Hip Hop Awards. Joe Crudak. We appreciate you, brother. It's the Breakfast Club. It's Fat Joe. You're just gonna say that with no context?

The Rumor Report. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. No context to that, huh? Just, you think everybody know the story. You're just assuming, huh? We're about to get to it right now. Okay.

All right. Well, Kanye caused quite a stir. He was trending on social media along with the slogan, White Lives Matter. And that is because of his Yeezy Season 9 collection in Paris. He had a black shirt with the slogan White Lives Matter, and the front of the shirt was the Pope's face. And so several models were also wearing various versions of that design. Candace Owens was there also wearing the shirt as well.

And Kanye West and Kim's daughter North participated in the show. She wasn't wearing the shirt, though. It didn't seem that she was wearing the shirt. So Vogue interviewed Kanye ahead of the surprise show and he said you know specifically in this fashion context I see myself more as a George Lucas than a fashion designer there's just people from the same planet and sometimes in high school it feels like we don't fit in and in a situation like this we have the opportunity to come together to express who we are so you know a lot of people had things to say about these white lives matter shirts and the statement that he was potentially trying to make

i saw that some people said they're not messing with him anymore i saw boosie badass said after all we've been through as a race you put this disrespectful ish on you gives no f's about how blacks have died and suffered to the hands of the white man. And you say Bush don't like black people, really? So his daughter wasn't wearing it, though. Yes, from what we saw. It amazes me that y'all still give Kanye exactly what he wants, and that's attention. Now everybody talking about him and his fashion show, he knows exactly what he's doing, and people fall for it every time.

And I've said this a million times, and every time I say it, folks call me a hater. But the reality is there's not too many people in the world who openly seek white validation like Kanye West. And whenever he's going through something, whenever his beef with a corporation, beef with his ex-wife, he becomes so pro-black. But when he's up and things are fine, it's slavery with a choice. Black people focus on race too much. And when he's in these circles like he was in Paris at that fashion show, it's white lives matter. Kanye West loves white validation.

He longs for it and it amazes me that folks let what they already know make them mad. He also posted in his story, everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam. Now it's over. You're welcome. Regardless of how you feel about the organization,

the statement Black Lives Matter is essential to living in this country because we have to constantly remind America that black lives indeed do matter because they show us at every waking moment

that they don't. Forget the organization. What about the statement? Does your black lives matter, Mr. West? Are you still in the director of his security team for President Trump? I never was that. But once again, and I'll say this until I'm dark blue in the face, okay?

Nobody openly seeks white validation like Kanye West. That's your guy! And I've told him this directly. All right. Now, Kim Kardashian is paying a $1.26 million fine from the Securities and Exchange Commission. And that is for cryptocurrency.

Okay, apparently celebrities have been selling goods on QVC and infomercials for decades before Instagram or cryptocurrencies even existed. But lawyers are saying you have to be extra cautious when pushing financial products. It's a lot worse than selling other types of products. According to SEC enforcement attorney Ron Geffner, he told the Post, celebrities aren't thinking through the fact that cryptocurrencies may be governed by

securities laws. They are far more wide reachingreaching implications for celebrities and influencers in dealing with securities and the laws about regulating securities than other industries. So she was promoting an individual crypto token that was low-hanging fruit for regulators. But celebs who promoted sites like Crypto.com and FTX, where customers can trade a wide variety of cryptocurrencies, could also be targets, according to a crypto expert and London School of Economics visiting fellow Garrick Hillman. He said, I wonder whether that's the next frontier. A lot of cryptocurrencies are operating as unregistered securities, and they could therefore interpret celebs who promote those sites for trading those digital coins as violating securities laws yes that part about that is uh that one million plus not gonna hurt

kim but it's probably mad people who believed in her and invested in that that crypto who lost money that they never gonna recover from yeah but you know what she in a situation like that she might not know you know they might have paid her to do it and she might think it's a great investment she didn't do her homework and whatever happened happened i don't think she was blatantly was like oh we gonna get over on people that's true that's true. That happens sometimes. She didn't know. That cryptocurrency and that NFT has had everybody in a frenzy for one second. See this? This is an NFT.

It's worth whatever you want to pay for it. And then page one is worth whatever it is. And page two is worth, you know. Yeah, well, you always have to be careful what it is that you represent. And that's why there's all these regulations too, that you have to let people know that something is an ad or that you're getting paid to promote something too. Because

that's also an issue when people act like they're not getting paid for something or they don't disclose that they are getting paid to do certain things and promote a brand that could also leave you open for a lawsuit like this. Alright, and that is your rumor report. Alright, Sheldon, who you giving your down for two?

Man, four after the hour. I was going to play a game, but guess what race it is. Why can't we play? Because it's just too clear. No. Don't tell me I want to play. No, but it does make me think about other things, like the use of the N-word, which I'm trying to stop using, but God damn it. Sometimes you just hear stories that say this, and you just be like, this nigga.

You know what I mean? So four after the hour, we need a young man forenzo murphy to come to the front of the congregation we like to have a word with him i do have a suggestion for the n-word though all right we'll get to that next it's the breakfast club come on i was born a donkey it Donkia of the day. That's pretty funny. Does Charlamagne the devil? Possibly.

The Breakfast Club. Well, Donkia of the day for Tuesday, October 4th goes to a 31-year-old man from Connecticut named Forenza Murphy. Let me be the first to admit that this young man is the reason your Uncle Charla, no matter how hard he tries, can't stop saying the word nigga. Okay? Maybe the adjustment that needs to happen is we don't refer to people as the

N-word, but we just refer to actions as nigga tree. That way they can apply to all races, colors, and creeds. But I'm saying all that to say there's absolutely no way you can listen to this story and not say this. OK, let me hear Uncle Ruckus real quick. Play it for me one time. Let me set the tone. I want to play a game. Shut up. There is powerful n***a at work here. Yes, it is. Now, Forenza was a fugitive and he was on the run from Connecticut authorities.

See, Forenza was serving a four year sentence on a robbery charge. Don't get me wrong. One day in prison is one day too long. But a four year bid, people will take that scratch in a heartbeat. OK, that's a high school term. Freshman to senior. Bong. Four years done. OK, that's one presidential term. Long time, no doubt. But as someone doing 10 years, as someone doing 20, as someone doing life. How did that compare to four years? All right. I bet you they'll snatch that four years in a heartbeat. But Forenza was serving a four year sentence and clearly he couldn't stand to be there because he was in a halfway house in Bridgeport when he left without permission.

Now what's confusing to me about this situation is if he was in the halfway house, doesn't that mean he was on the way home? I thought the point of a halfway house was that you were halfway home. They send you to the halfway house to get you ready to get back adjusted to society. So just a little more patience, he would have been home. But no, not Forenza. Outside was calling. And when outside calls, for some reason, niggas pick up on the first ring.

Okay? So Forenza Murphy left without permission, and he got caught. Would you like to know how he got caught? Let's go to News Observer for the report, please. According to authorities in Georgia, a man was arrested at his own birthday party weeks after he's accused of escaping a halfway house in Connecticut. Deputies arrested Forenza Rakeem Murphy on Saturday, October 1st, at a family member's home in McDonough.

The 31-year-old, who deputies said was serving time on a robbery charge at a family member's home in McDonough. The 31-year-old, who deputies said was serving time on a robbery charge at a Connecticut Department of Correction halfway house in Bridgeport, was there to celebrate his birthday. Murphy was setting up for his party when deputies arrived after they received a tip. Murphy was accused of leaving the halfway house without permission and had been on the run since August 8th. He was booked into the Henry County Jail and faces additional charges. Jesus, I understand. I understand why you don't want to come back. For what?

For what? A party, man. Not just any party. His own birthday party. Forensic escaped from jail and then got arrested at his own birthday party. Police say they got a tip. By tip, do they mean invite? I'm assuming an invite i can't prove this i have no facts to stand on when i say this but i know that this party was promoted on facebook

i just if it wasn't on facebook it was on social media somewhere i just know it was somebody dm me to invite i know they had it he probably sent it to his close friends he probably thought he could just send it to his close friends on Instagram and nobody would be the wiser, okay? Probably promoted it as a welcome home party. I don't know. All I know is he escaped from jail in Connecticut and decided to go to Georgia and have a birthday party at a family member's house,

and now he's back locked up. Now, Firenze has been on the run since August 8th. He would have eventually gotten caught, guaranteed. But having a birthday party while you're on the run as a fugitive, I'm pretty sure probably led to him getting caught faster. Okay, Firenze, all you had to do was that four-year bid, and you could have had all the cake, all the Casamigos, and all the chicken wings you want. But no! You just had to submit to your lower will,

your lower nature, and participate in N-word activities. Please let Remy Ma give Lorenzo Murphy the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. And I know Jesus is not coming back,

and I'm pretty sure Jesus regrets dying for 95% of you. Okay? So he's not making that mistake again. Alright? And I'm really trying not to say the N-word anymore, but you have to tell me a word that describes this kind of behavior better. Play Uncle Ruckus one more time, Red.

There is powerful n***a-try at work here. That's all you can say in regards to a situation like this, but I will start referring to the actions of people as niggatry instead of referring to individuals as niggas. That's my evolution with the N-word. Resident Connecticut had a party in the A.

Who said the A now? See, there you go making up stuff. All I said was Georgia. Ain't nobody said nothing about A. Sound like the A to me. Georgia's a big place. Could be Savannah. Could be Macon.

There's a lot of places in Georgia you can have a good time. After party at King of Diamonds. I know. King of Diamonds? Ain't that Miami? They got one in Atlanta, too. Oh. South of Hakaneli.

All right. Now, thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we come back, Tammy Roman will be joining us. And? And, of course, Jill Ramsey. We're going to be talking to them today. They got a new show, House of Vicious. Tammy's been doing a bunch of shows.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. 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 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 gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

with Tammy. So when I left the show and I was like figuring out what I was going to do next, then, you know, it was just a natural link. We already had ideas

for shows and other television ideas. We have more stuff coming than what's out there. So... Tammy will cook it. I've been seeing Tammy in everything.

She's booked in business. She's on five different shows but you know Tammy I would never have thought you even had a period of being down and out really?

I mean you didn't see season two of basketball why? because you don't know what's real and what's not real you don't know

what's a storyline and what's not a storyline she's making money true true true getting booked it was a down period for like 18 months I say it like it was. It was a down period for like 18 months. I say it like it was like five, six years, but it was like 18 months.

But when, you know, when you're used to having like that down time, it's like, oh my God, what am I going to do? I got two kids, you know, all of that. So, yeah, I definitely had my moment and, you know, like I had good people in my life that kind of helped me out of that. How'd you get to that point because uh I was doing a show um that was produced executive produced by Queen Latifah and Shaquem and it was a vh1 bet hybrid co-production show called wifey and they picked

up the show I picked up moved my whole family to Jersey. And then they couldn't figure out their deal and just canceled the show. Wow. But I was stuck here, like, you know, in Jersey. And so my kids were already enrolled in school and everything. And I literally, like, used all my savings

to, like, move cross-country, move cross-country, get everything set up here, and then they pulled the show. How did you get out of that? I started working at Morgan Stanley. And I was on the train one day, and this lady was like, Oh my God, I just watched you. I had a show called Moonlight that had just gotten canceled. I just watched you on TV last night.

What are you doing on the train? And I was like, I'm going to work like you. I'm trying to pay these bills and then I thought about it and was like yeah why am I on the train like what is going on Tammy like you're just like you know just settling for this moment in your life and so I went home that weekend

and saw Basketball Wives the first season and I was like damn I was a basketball wife I'm gonna call them and see if I can get up on there and so I called VH1 and I got on Basketball Wives I did not know all that back story before Basketball Wives that's how it happened

most people would have felt like they're too good to get a regular job after being in the life and everything I've been working since I was 13 years old I lied to get a job at Kentucky Fried Chicken when I was 13 years old. Because, you know, I come from that. My mom worked three jobs.

I never saw anybody sit around in my family and raised by all women. It was like, I can't be the one that's like, I'm about to jump off a bridge. What was the lie you told KFC? That you was older? Yeah. Okay. Yes. Got you.

And were you a rapper as a kid? Because today, I'm just telling you guys, you know BET did a cypher. You wanna produce an album bro? You done brought this up four times. You know what? I wanna explain it. Charlamagne, please call him out on this.

They do it right now. And they did a different type of cypher with no influences and they had like Pretty V and they had La La Milan. They had so many different people. Dapper Dan. I knew it was coming. But Tammy Roman is rapping, rapping, dropping it low like Lil Tim.

She got into it. Were you a rapper? Because that was natural. No, I was not a rapper. You've never rapped before? On a trail. Listen, I was supposed to be a model, a supermodel like Linda Evangelista.

And that did not happen and so then I decided I was going to be in a singing group but I can't really sing that well so I decided I would be the rapper of the group but I can't really rap that well but somehow I managed to get the group signed and then

we fell apart because I just wasn't good at either one of them but I tried I shot my shot the shot at it we fell apart because I just wasn't good at either one of them. She did it all. You did everything. But I tried. I shot the shot at it. But yeah, so they got the cypher, as you done told the world. And so a lot of us came out that aren't rappers that are doing our best six teams we can put together. And you guys had a coach, right?

Lil' Kim. Because they split up that's a coach right right so little Kim was my team's coach and then we have Remy Ma on the other side coaching the other set of people but my daughter jazz wrote my rap and I feel like you know it's good yeah I had a ghost writer several people do in the industry you know that's nothing new you got jazz on the TV show too, right? Jazz is doing the theme song for the show. Lyric is on the show.

It's a family affair, baby. It is. So let's talk about the show. House of Vicious. I'm going to leave that up to Jill since she's the creator. Come on, tell us about House of Vicious, ma. So House of Vicious is like a culmination of, like I've been working in entertainment for 25 years.

So it's a culmination of, like I've been working in entertainment for 25 years. So it's a culmination of all of my experiences and different people that I met. And I had a pretty interesting life myself. So some of it is, you know, my elements, but there is not a character because people keep asking, is it based on this or is it based on that? There's not one character in there that's one person.

It is a culmination of a bunch of different people or it might be a scenario that i saw and it didn't turn out the way i wanted it so i made it that in the show i made it what i wanted it you know like tv is just fun you could create whatever you want and i think that um house Vicious I mean I think you guys know it's about a fashion house and all the crazy things that happen there with their glam squad and everything else but it talks about

we delve into some real life issues yeah it's crazy for the television aspect when we deal with some real life issues like anybody can relate to something in there there's the infidelity. There's the drug use. You know, all of that.

And Tammy killed it. Like when I made Chantel, I knew that she was going to be that person. Like we didn't even consider anybody else. The head of the fashion house? Mm-hmm. Okay. All right, we got more with Jill Ramsey and Tammy Roman.

We're talking about House of Vicious, Unfaithful, Miss Pat Show. She got a lot what she's working on. We got more with Tammy Roman when we come back as The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Tammy Roman and Jill Ramsey. Yee. And you've been doing a lot with cheating lately and infidelity. I have. Isn't that something? Listen, that's, you know, it's in my background.

But yeah, we got unfaithful, of course, you know. Is that a real show, unfaithful? Yes, it is. Because those stories, have you seen the stories yet? Oh, man, listen. Some of the stories are like, there's no way. Possible way. This gotta be fake.

No, it's not fake. You know, the people really, because let me tell you something about VH1. Like, on some for real stuff, they never want people to actually do what you just did. Like, that's fake. Like, I saw so-and-so, and she really dates this one, because then that, you know, lowers the integrity of the show. So they are sticklers about these people being in these relationships having these moments you know what I mean so that when they come to us for help you know we really are able to navigate them help navigate what was it take out though cuz I mean

I seen one episode where the girl was dating the guy's friend and then the guy's friend just started dating the girl and then they met in a restaurant and then they argued and then they had dinner and then they both left together. I'm like, this is weird.

This is wild. There was no fighting, no furniture moving, no slapping, no punching, no kicking, nothing. That's called maturity.

No more abusive relationships. You know, it was toxic enough. But, you know, we're not trying to be like love, you know, for sure.

Oh my God, they're going to kill me like love, you know, for, oh my God, they're going to kill me. Yeah, I was like, dun, dun, dun. I'm going to make this comparison at the expense of losing some friendships. But we're not

loving hip hop, you know, like we're not trying to throw chairs and fight and all that stuff. We really try to steer away from that. However, we can't help how somebody reacts.

You know what I mean? And we just try to control that moment if it goes like that. But, En can't help how somebody reacts. You know what I mean? And we just try to control that moment if it goes like that. But, Embi, I don't know why you're asking. Aren't you coming on as a co-host? You're going on a show called Unfaithful? I thought you said, come on on. I was like, no!

I was like, no! This is a friendly interview. You're just dumb. Why are you going on a show called Unfaithful? It's about helping other brothers. Oh, no. Because he's coming with my phone. He's speaking from his experience of having been a cheater and then trying to help people. You just keep going down that road for no reason.

You just keep bringing up that story for no damn reason. It's not his story, though. It's not my story. It's not his story, though. He's going to help me help people. That's right. Okay. I'll just be over here saying black men don't cheat.

That's enough for me. Tammy, what's your craziest unfaithful story from your past? Because you said it's things you've dealt with in the past, too. So if you could say I had a crazy situation, what would you say is in the top craziest? Okay, one of the top ones was with my ex-husband. And I had a feeling that there was a chick, right? That there was somebody that he was seeing. And there was this one girl that just would not go away.

And so the team was on the road. And I kept calling his hotel room. And he wouldn't answer. So I'm like, he don't sleep this hard. Like, you not in that room. Depends how long the game was. Could have been double overtime. Nah, nah, nah. Black men don't sleep.

That's what you think, right? I'm just saying. It could be other reasons. Was this in Boston? I'm sorry, go ahead. So, as I was saying, I remembered the girl's name and called the hotel back and asked for her name. No!

And they put me through. Oh, boy. And she answered. No! And I said, let me talk to Kenny. And she said, hold on. Wow. No shame.

No shame. No shame. And he got on the phone. He was like, hello, because he was asleep. And I said, Kenny, what the? That's not what I said. I said he wasn't in his room. I said he wasn't in his room.

And he heard my voice and hung up. I know he was so mad at that woman. Why would you pass if you're white? Did you stay after that? They ended up having two kids together actually damn

close your mouth some black men do cheat Charlamagne did you stay after that or was it over was that the final straw I did stay

I did stay and I think that's why you know coming from that perspective Charlamagne sweat look at me sweat I'm telling you, you hear these stories, you get anxiety.

Lord have mercy. I did say, but that's why I think I'm the perfect person for Caught in the Act because I understand a person's thought process of trying to rationalize, navigate, understand, you know, comprehend why

a person is doing this, but having so much love for them that you try to make it work even though you see the signs in front of you. And it took me some time to get to the point of where it was like, this is not good and I've got to love myself more. And so that's what I'm encouraging people to do on Codney Act. And it's real. And it's absolutely positively real.

I shot an episode with Tammy. Yes. And they go through everything. And I had to try to help the brother out and smarten him up. So it's like. And it's absolutely positively real. I shot an episode with Tammy. Yes. And they go through everything. And I had to try to help the brother out and, you know, smarten him up. So it's like cheaters? Yeah. Yes. 2.0, though.

But nobody getting stabbed on a boat. Yeah, but you're showing him what he's doing wrong and explaining it to him and breaking him down in a way that he would understand. You jumped over him. You tell me. Give me some tips. How did you not get caught all those years? What if he just said that?

I got caught. But I break it down and I explain what happened to the point one time where they argue it. And Tammy's looking at me. And I'm like, Tammy, help. He's like, Tammy, get up. Help me. I'm like, nah, you got me. Go ahead. Tell them your story. But it's a great show where they actually break down.

You ever seen Cheaters when Peter Gunz was hosting, and the dude said, man, you be cheating too? But the guy did say that to him. He was like, how you gonna help me when you have cheated? See? That's for sure. Learn from my mistakes. And he was like, but this is what I learned in that moment.

And so the guy, you know, he was able to make the guy understand. But it's really good. We're excited about having Envy join us. Now, is it true you wanted to be on Real Housewives? I did audition for Real Housewives of Atlanta, and it was after Basketball Wives had gotten canceled. And so I tried to get up on there, and they told me no. Just straight up no?

Yeah. What was the reasoning? They said I was too big of a personality on an opposing network. Oh, okay. So they thought people would affiliate you too much? Yes, with the other brand. Yeah.

That was very similar, right? I got it. Now, how's married life for you with Reggie still? Because you are super busy. Are y'all making time for each other? We're always together. We're always together. The way his job is,

he does e-commerce so he can work anywhere so that's perfect yeah it's app it's absolutely perfect so we're always together we're never well today we're separated and it's funny because I called and he was like yeah I'm in the gym and I heard music like a TV something in the background just laughing cuz you know and I was like what Jim got the TV all loud like that Yes! She like all this acting and hosting shows in my head. I didn't know! So I was like, well let me FaceTime child and make sure that he's in the game. So you FaceTimed him? I FaceTimed him, I sure did.

You think you'd be in your head because of like the hosting and the show and all of that. That's exactly what's going on. And you'd be like, now hold up, I don't want to get caught. My husband has never given me any reason, like I said, we're always together. And plus I just think it's a part of his character. To me, I feel like anybody that cheats,'s a character flaw I agree with it that you then have to mature and grow out of right so he's never given me any of that and he comes from a two-parent household really understands and respects women so is he in therapy any type of therapy no he's not in therapy oh okay

no no I mean, I'm saying, because I go to therapy once a week, so it's like a lot of times I've realized the cheating comes from, you know, those unhealed trauma that you have. Trauma, trauma. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no.

He just, he's just a really, for lack of a better verb, he's a really good guy that just really respects and understands women. Well, where can they see House of Vicious? It is on BET Wednesdays at 9. Soon to move to BET Plus. And then we're waiting on our season two pickup.

BET Plus is killing it. I just want to say. Charlamagne makes a guest appearance for our finale. That is so big to me. Like Jill's like, I'm going to ask Charlamagne. What is his character? Why you got to play it like that? You know what?

Envy's upset because, you know, Envy's nickname was Vicious, and he should have been on there. I had no idea. I had no idea. We didn't know. Season two. Season two. Jill, Envy, thank you for joining us.

You never know where we're going to go with Envy. But thank you guys so much. And we look forward to Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on BET. House of Vicious. And thank you, guys. Thank you. Here you go. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk takeoff in Quavo. This is The Rumor Report

with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right, well, Unc and Few, a.k.a. Quavo and Takeoff, went by the Big Facts Podcast and talked about the Migos splitting up

and whether or not there's going to be another Migos album in the future. Here's what they had to to say I just feel like we want to see our career as a duo you know I'm saying because you know we just came from a loyal family you know I'm saying it's supposed to stick together and you know sometimes work out you know it ain't meant to be. Family gonna be family, though. You know what I'm saying?

It's just how it be. You know, we don't know our answers, you feel me? So, you know what I'm saying? God know. And we pray a lot, you know? We just stand on loyalty. You know what I mean? We stand on real deal, real deal loyalty.

And, you know, sometimes that shit is played. And this ain't got nothing to do with no label, no paperwork, no QC, no nothing. This got something to do with the three brothers no paperwork, no QC, no nothing. This got something to do with the three brothers and that is what it is. Right now, we're going to be the duo till the time till. All right. Yeah, I mean, it's easy for us to say,

hey, I hope they work that out. You know, I hope they get back together, but we don't even know what happened to begin with. No, we don't. And it seems like it's not completely ruled out. I just wish all of them the best. You know what I mean? Salute to Offset.

Take off, salute to Quavo. Salute to Take Off. Salute to Quavo. And salute to Jade Banks and Scream, the Big Facts podcast. Make sure you subscribe to them on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. All right. Now Bow Wow is asking his fans whether or not he should perform the song I'm a Flirt. Because that's the song with R. Kelly while he's on tour. So he put up a poll and said, I'm going to let the people

decide this. What would your vote be? Don't ask us. Ask your woman. You know what I'm saying? You might be in a relationship for all we know. If he's single

and he still want to be a flirt, cool, but if you're in a relationship, you better ask your woman before you ask the general public. I mean, I think it's just the R. Kelly aspect of it

he's wondering. I think people know how to separate the art from the person at this point. I didn't think he had a song called I'm a Flirt. I thought that was all Kelly featuring T-Pain. Did he do a remix of some? That is very true, now that you say that. It was all Kelly

and T-Pain. Unless Bow Wow was on a remix of something that we didn't know about. Well, he said he's on the song. He wants to know if he should perform it. Yeah, he should do it. Why not? If you want to perform other people's music, fine, Bow Wow. I didn't know that was your record. I didn't know if he should perform it. Yeah, he should do it. Why not? If you want to perform other people's music, fine, Bow Wow. I didn't know that was your record. Not that Envy bought that to our attention.

Anybody did a remix. If Envy don't know that and he's a DJ, then something's wrong. I just Googled it. Yeah, Googled it. He did a remix featuring Bow Wow, Ludacris, T.I. Okay. So he was on the remix. All right. Now, Megan Thee Stallion says that she's inspired by her married friends,

and she's looking forward to getting married. Here she is talking about it on social media everybody getting married What's up, man? Yeah. That's right. As a matter of fact. Yeah. And it's already a wife. It's given. It's given a wife. You better come back to me. You better come back to me. Everybody.

Who are you talking to? Oh, no. I heard somebody in the background say, pressure's on, party. And yes, I've already told party. Go to therapy. Work on yourself as a human. And then put a ring on that young lady. Stop playing.

I told party this already. All right. Now, SZA, by the way, has revealed that she wants to have kids really soon. So she's on the cover of Complex, and she said, I do want to have kids really soon, but I don't have a necessity for a family unit as much as I really would love kids. And it's not even like I'm trying to do anything that's groundbreaking or nontraditional or like modern women. I just literally feel like it's less stressful to think about, like, who's it going to be? Are they trustworthy? Is this person going to really love me?

Is this partner material versus being like, OK, this is the doctor I know. I want to deliver my kids. So it's not necessarily about the partner aspect. She wants to have kids. OK. And it doesn't have to be all of that. All right. Now, Cardi B and JT have been going back and forth. And it looks like they squashed things, though, according to Jason Lee. I don't even understand it.

But I guess Cardi B was congratulating Glorilla because they made the top 10 for Tomorrow, too. And then JT said, I'm not like that at all. I've been doing remixes and never got credited on a chart, but they get sung word for word. And how push the original songs as intended. Unlike y'all. Well, I can't even say y'all because you don't rap. You tweet.

Congrats, Glorilla F and F remix and Queens. I don't even understand how this turned into something. Turn nasty. Yeah, I really don't understand it. But then the two of them ended up going back and forth. Cardi said, lapdog. I hope you don't think you know bully. JT responded. And then she said, wiener dog.

And Cardi said, go fetch. And then JT said, Cardi, you go fetch a real talent. But at the end of it all, because I'm not going to go through everything, Jason Lee went on social media and said, let me be clear, I love City Girls and Cardi. I'm on the phone tomorrow to get them on the same page because we need both of them. We're not letting an old lady get in the way. I don't know who he's talking about there.

And then he said he already texted Carisha in response to somebody saying, just make sure Carisha and Cardi on the same page. And then he went on. Yes. To say that. Talk to Big Barty. It's squashed and they talked it out. That's what I like to see. I hate seeing all these female rappers fighting with each other.

Both have respect for each other. Hip hop bigger than this. Everybody go to sleep. The internet has been way too wild today. Talking to JT, we good. I'm going to bed. I'm glad they ironed that out. But I'll tell you this, if more of those little social media squabbles led to actual music,

that would be an interesting battle. that would be an interesting battle. That would be an interesting battle I wouldn't mind seeing. JT versus Cardi on some rapping, song for song, music for music. I think that would produce some great music and it would be hilarious. I mean, this went on and on and on. Don't you think? That's the only thing

I wish. I wish some of these little social media squabbles led to some actual music. I don't want to see no fighting or nothing like that. It would go to disrespectful. That's where it would lead. But that's why it would be interesting, the music-wise. But don't get it twisted. Cardi and JT both make great music.

So if they were to have some type of lyrical squabble, musical squabble, that would be an interesting one to witness. I like it better when they do songs together. They can do that, too, after they do something. They do already. They have already. All right. Well, that is. They have already. All right. All right, well, that is your Rumor Reports.

All right, the People's Choice mixes up next. Hey, I want to salute Kid Cudi too, man. Kid Cudi and Kenya Barris. Intergalactic on Netflix is fantastic. Rom-com energy.
