Break the f*** off! Good morning, USA! Hey, fam! Hey, fam! Hey, good morning. It's Friday! Yes, it is. Yes, it's Friday. Ooh, I just dropped everything.

Good morning, everybody. I hope you guys are ready for the weekend. I know I am. I'm heading out to North Carolina, of course, for CIAA. February and March is always crazy for me. It starts off with Super Bowl, then it goes to the Grammys, then it goes to All-Star, then it goes to CIAA. You mean January and February?

Yeah, well, the end of February, last weekend in January, and February and then into March. Those are always like my craziest weekends. Yeah, for me it is too because my birthday's in January, and then, you know, I do my birthday all month. Right. And, yeah, you know, All-Star, you got, yeah, Grammys, all of that. Plus, it's also Black History Month.

Yes. This month. And then next month is Women's History Month. Okay. So for me, these two months are always amazing. And I end up doing a lot of corporate things. Yeah. During both of these months.

But I love these months, too. Because between this and homecoming season is when I can really touch the people and get out there and see people. Yeah, you can't go around touching people. You know what I mean. And really talk to people. And that really excites me. I love seeing people, especially CIAA. There's so many different people from so many different places.

And just get to see everybody. And I love Charlotte. This is the last year CIAA is going to be in Charlotte. So I'm going to miss it in Charlotte. And it's going to Baltimore, right? Yeah, Baltimore. I don't know if Baltimore's necessarily ready.

They have time to get ready. Yeah, they got time to get ready. So I'm excited about that. What about you? You're heading out to North Carolina this weekend? Are you coming out? Yes, I'll be in Charlotte as well, so I will see you there. And that's it. Yesterday was a pretty amazing day, so

it feels good. Today's payday, so that's always nice. I love a payday was a pretty amazing day. So, you know, it feels good. Today's payday. Yeah, today is payday. Yeah, now we got some special guests. I love a payday on a Friday. It's always good. Now we got some special guests joining us this weekend. I mean, this week. Friday night.

Stop it. Today. Suzy Orman will be joining us this morning. Oh, speaking of money. Yeah, Suzy Orman. She has a new book out. That's number one on Amazon already. That's right.

She always talks about investing and making sure you have money when you retire. So we're going to be talking to Suzy Orman. And then G Herbo will be joining us. Chicago's own. That's right. He has an album that's coming out today. So we'll kick it with G Herbo. He had a show in Brooklyn last night, in Brooklyn Steel.

And then King Von. King Von was there too. Yeah. And I always talk about Chicago real estate. Chicago real estate is growing. If you're looking for real estate that's not too expensive, but I feel it's in that market that's about to really, really go. They're building Obama Library. You have the Tiger

Woods golf course. There's right on the water. There's so much property over there. Chicago's a place to look at. Chicago's expensive already. I'm actually I was helping somebody I know who's moving there. We were looking at places together. It was pretty pricey. Depending on what neighborhood you want to be in.

But if you want to be in that, it's expensive. Yeah, you got to go in a neighborhood where it's just about to change. Those are the neighborhoods that you could probably get a great deal. But let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about Bloomberg. We got some Bloomberg stories for you, and we'll tell you why the Central Park Five is ripping Bloomberg,

saying don't be bamboozled. All right, we'll get into that next. 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.

Let's get some front page news. Where do we start with, Yee? Well, let's start with Central Park Five. One of the members of the Central Park Five is ripping former Mayor Bloomberg. Now, he said we all might vote for a different candidate, but I'm sure any other Democrat will be better than Michael Bloomberg. Kevin Richardson was one of the five teams who was wrongly convicted in the attack of 28 year old jogger Tricia Maile back in 1989. He said it wasn't about the lawsuit. It was about getting our life back. At the end of the day, no amount of money could equal what we endured.

So what happened was when Michael Bloomberg, they tried to get money from the city after it was revealed that they were not the ones who attacked this woman. But unfortunately, Bloomberg kept blocking that. He opposed striking a deal with the men for more than a decade. The only reason they got their money was because that stance was reversed by Mayor Bill de Blasio. So that's the only reason they got their money. They said, don't let these ads get to you. Don't be bamboozled by this. We know personally who Michael Bloomberg is, and I'm here to step forward and let you know it's time to vote. It's time for our voices to be heard. Now, in response to this, the Bloomberg campaign did issue a statement. It did not directly address what he did during this case,

but he said Mike will continue the dialogue he is having across the country on issues important to the black and Latino community. Yeah, you know, see what Bloomberg does is he goes around the country and he goes to areas that's New York, that's not New York City. He doesn't want to talk to New Yorkers. That's been affected by a lot of the things that he's done. Of course, we all know stop and frisk. And then all of a sudden he's so into stop and frisk, and then right when he's about to run, he goes to a church and says, oh, I'm sorry. No, you're not sorry.

You're running, and that's the reason why. Then let's talk about the fact that he ran a dictatorship. He's the only mayor that says, you know what? I'm going to change the rules. You're only supposed to be a mayor for two terms, but I'm going to make it three terms just because I can do that. That's something that hasn't been done,

but he did it because he's a dictatorship. But it came to nightclubs and anything urban in New York City. If it was a club, a party, a lounge, and it had to do with any urban, he shut it down. To the point where clubs did not want to do anything urban. So it's cool for Bloomberg to go around the country and talk to anybody, everybody that doesn't know him. But he has to come back to New Yorkers and talk to what he's done to New Yorkers. Oh, here's the thing. I mean, even with the brother from the Central Park Five, he's right. He's 100% right.

The Stopping Frist legislation was one of the most racist policies in the history of America. But I don't agree that any other Democrat is better than Bloomberg because the 94 crime bill, which Joe Biden wrote and Bernie voted for, was worse than Stopping Frist. And that was a national policy. I think Bloomberg was a lot worse to our people as a person

than what he did. The 94 crime bill? Specifically in New York for New Yorkers. The 94 crime bill was national. It was national, but what Bloomberg did is continue to do. If people are still in jail now because of the 94 crime bill. And they've apologized for that. Bloomberg only apologized really because he wants to be president. Joe Biden has never apologized for the 94 crime bill. Joe Biden was just on the debate stage

on the town hall stage. I'm not even talking about Joe Biden. Joe Biden doesn't even want to come on the show because he wants to send his surrogate. I don't even take Joe Biden serious and I definitely don't take Michael Bloomberg serious. want to come on the show because he wants to send his surrogate. I don't even take Joe Biden serious. And I definitely don't take Michael Bloomberg serious. He should come on the show and discuss what he's done in New York and answer some of those questions. The only reason I even consider Mike Bloomberg is because of his Greenwood initiative. Because to me, the best apology is not only change behavior, but it's a black agenda. Because the same way you implemented a legislation that oppressed and marginalized black people.

You have to implement something that can help and uplift black people. It doesn't seem from the heart, though. It seems because he wants to run for president. All of them are like that. That just tells me that when he comes to, if he ever becomes a president, he doesn't really mean it. He's just saying things to become president. I think it's just important to hold everybody accountable. You can say anything.

You can have an initiative. But are you really going to do it? Like, if you don't win, are you still on that team? And if you do win, is it really going to happen? Because people could tell you anything. I think he said things that showed he really doesn't care about minorities. And definitely black people. Well, that is your front page.

Definitely Biden. Have you ever heard Biden on the sitting floor when he said, I don't give a damn about the environment that created these predators. All I care about is protecting people that look like my mom, my sister. But did you ever hear me say I like Biden? I don't like Biden either. Oh, okay. I'm just making sure.

I don't like Biden and I don't like Bloomberg. I just don't think they are for our people, for minorities, for our type of communities. I don't like them either. So you can't say, whoa, what about Biden? I don't like Biden either. That's good. But, you know, that's all I'm saying. And the fact that Biden don't even want to come up here and talk about it.

Oh, I'll send my surrogate. F you and your surrogate. That's just how I feel. Leave the surrogate out of this. No. F him and the surrogate. Leave them out of it. No, because guess what?

A lot of those black surrogates that's around Biden right now, when this is over, they're going to still have things to promote, like books and whatever else. And we're going to keep that same energy with them that they kept with Biden. Because if we got it on good authority, some of the black surrogates around Biden is like, no, you're not going to do the breakfast. Bloomberg will throw all that money around all he wants, but it doesn't stop what he's done to New Yorkers, and especially the black

and brown community. I will say, once again, with his Greenwood initiative, though, if he wants to create 100,000 new black businesses, if he wants to create a million new black homeowners, if he wants to create a million new black homeowners, if he really does want to invest $70 billion in 100 of the most poor and disenfranchised areas, you got to look at that as a black person. He can start doing that now.

He can say that. He can start doing that now. And he said that all the time. He said, I'm already doing that. He can say that. He said, whether I become president or not, I'm already doing that and I'm going to continue to do that. Well, what else is he supposed to say? I don't know.

What else is he supposed to do? You guys, that is your front page news. Biden hasn't said none of that. What I'm saying. Sounds like you're supporting Bloomberg. I'm not supporting Bloomberg. He's not even in this conversation. Biden ain't even in this conversation. But anyway, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, bad morning. Or maybe you're happy the weekend is here, man. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson the First, King of Kaperburg.

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? Be part of a great colonial tradition. What could go wrong? 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. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.

It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, y'all? This is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th.

I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama

who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. Did you know, did you know, I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Goldman. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, how you doing? I'm Darnell. Hey, Darnell. Good morning. All right. The thing about Bloomberg with the stop and frisk. Yes, sir. It wasn't all that bad, you know. Oh, Lord. Now we're not going to do that.

Okay. Go ahead. New York. Let me talk. Okay. New York was a battlefield, man. It was. There was many people carrying guns and knives.

When they implemented that law, it stopped people from carrying the guns because they were scared to bring them out. You know what I'm saying? Because, you know, I believe it saved a lot of lives because everybody was scared to carry the guns because they were scared to get shot. But what about all the people who weren't doing anything wrong that got stopped? And they said about 5 million people and most of them were black and Latino men. And actually just targeting those neighborhoods. Imagine you're going to work, minding your business, and they're allowed to just targeting those neighborhoods. Imagine you're going to work minding your business and they're allowed

to just stop you and frisk you. Imagine you're just a teenager going to school and they throw you up against the wall and search you. You don't think that that has an effect on people? For no reason? Now Darnell, see... I'm a black male and I've been a victim of it for three times but you know what? If you're not doing anything wrong...

That is not true. None of that is true, Darnell. Now, see, Darnell, I understand what you're saying, right? Yes, and you're absolutely right. If you had a gun and you were doing something illegal, it made you think twice about carrying your gun, right? Absolutely. You're absolutely right. If there was a possibility that you was going to get thrown on the wall and you had something illegal, it made you think twice.

And I thought just like you. But then you got to think about the other side. The young man that's going to school that might have a little weed in his pocket at the time. Now he gets pulled over. Now he has a record for no reason. And you can say, well, he shouldn't have did it, but that's not right to get pulled over or get thrown against the wall and have a little

weed and now you have a record. And let's be clear, white people might have had a little weed and did not get stopped in first. And that's the thing. They targeted our communities. At first, I looked at it just like you, but you'd have to open up the whole thing. They didn't target Midtown Manhattan. It wasn't equal stop in Frisk all across the board. They targeted downtown Brooklyn, south side Jamaica, Queens, Harlem,

and areas where we live, not areas where everybody lives. White people walking past you with a gun and some weed. I thought like you at first first only looked at one side, but you got to look at the whole thing. By the way, Donnell, by the way, also, it's pointless to, you know, try to defend stop and frisk

because Mike Bloomberg don't defend stop and frisk. Mike Bloomberg said stop and frisk was a mistake. So it's like... Only when he was running for president. It still don't matter. It don't matter when you admit the mistake. The mistake is a mistake. He admits his mistake.

Let me ask you this. Yeah. Do you think the whole stop and frisk was racist or was it the police? A combination of both. A combination of both. They were told to stop black and brown people. A combination of both. If you let somebody who's

already racist have racist policies and legislation at their disposal, they're going to abuse it. Bloomberg even said, we have to stop frisking more black people and less white people. He said that clearly. But you have a nice day. I hope you understand it now. I do. It took me some time to understand it, but I got it.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?

Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Blast. Hello, who's this? Hey, yo, Anthony, what's up? How you doing? It's John. Hey, John. What's going on, John? All right. Good morning. Two kings and a queen. How y'all doing today? Peace, King.

Good morning. I've been trying to reach y'all for the last couple of days to come out. These dirty politicians ain't going to even call them Democrats or Republicans. These dirty politicians, to me. I just want to say, with regards to all these promises that they'll never plan on keeping, is there any way we can just call these people on this and have them start

implementing some stuff while they're campaigning like Andrew Yang was even offering $1,000 per family. He had already started something like that before he dropped out the race. So I think we should hold them accountable right now before it's time to go to the polls and then we can make something like that happen. dropped out the race. So I think we should hold him accountable right now before it's time to go to the polls and then we can make something like that happen. I think we get a better

chance of seeing what people really going to stand behind and what they're trying to sell us. I mean, the ones who have the means are already doing it. You know what I'm saying? That's why you do have to look at people's records, especially in the Senate. What have they done? You know, what legislations have they tried to pass for black and brown people? But yeah, I mean, even when you look at somebody like Bloomberg,

yes, he's donated $350 million to 200-plus inner cities throughout the country. He has done the Young Men's Initiative, which, you know, uplifts black and brown young men. So, I mean, I don't know. You just got to do your research. But then, I know, it is sad, though, to see Kevin Richardson talking about how he blocked them for 10 years. The only reason they got a settlement from the city was because of

Bill de Blasio becoming mayor. Absolutely. Just like I'm sure somebody sitting in a jail cell right now that was affected by Joe Biden's 94 crime bill. That's like goddamn. That's what y'all voting for? I don't know why we compare them. I just don't like them all. You got to. They all, they all. We got to compare them because they're my choices.

Yeah, but you know what I mean? We know Biden's effed up and we know Bloomberg's effed up. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up? My name is Trey. Trey, what up? Get it off your chest, bro. Yeah, but, you know, I mean, we know Biden's effed up and we know Bloomberg's effed up. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up? My name is Trey. Trey, what up? Get it off your chest, bro. Yeah, man.

One of the things that really get me, because, you know, I just recently got out of a relationship after three years, but it's just how inconsistent men tend to be. I mean, I date other men, but I feel like women can tend to be, you know, inconsistent too, but, like, it really and truly kills me. No one takes back. No one likes to go out on dates. Everyone just wants to sleep around. I am really tired, and I'm over it, man. You said everyone wants to do that?

Not everyone. Or all the men you see. It seems like the people that you are connecting with. Where you finding these men at? Yeah, I'm going to be honest. And Andy sound like you're bisexual. If you're bisexual and you ain't got no options, it's you. No, I legit just moved out

to Jacksonville, down here in Florida. And like, I don't know, like, it's different. Well, where are you meeting people? Well, I meet some people on Grindr, honestly. Well, what do you think you're going to get on Grindr? What's wrong with Grindr? I mean... It's called Grindr. They just want to have sex.

I've been living for three years out of Grindr, believe it or not. And I mean, just living into today's digital age, I really feel like, you know, that's how people are really connecting now. Well, maybe you get off Grindr. Maybe Christian Mingle? Christian Mingle? Okay, well... Are you bisexual? You're bisexual, right? No, I'm very gay. No, he said he's gay.

Oh, I thought he said that he deals with girls, too, but they don't call him back. We know, we got a gay friend up here. How do you look? I mean, I think I'm pretty handsome. You should try our friend Trav. Trav is single. How about him? Is A.K.A. twin? Is that his thingy? I don't like how you be hoeing Trav out,

man. You should try anybody that wants some butts. That's the only gay man you know? You should try Bumble. That was all I really just had. Oh, another thing as far as this election, we just need to vote for a candidate with a black agenda and a candidate that

supports reparations for American descendants of slavery. That's the only thing I'm going to say and I'm going to end on that. I see. That's a mixed bag, too, because you got a few people with a black agenda and you got one guy that's supporting reparations and that's Tom Steyer. You really voting for Tom Steyer? Come on, guys. Hello.

Hello, who's this? This is Tate Clowns of Georgetown. What's going on, Envy? What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Hey, guys. Good morning, man. Breakfast Club is calling to say, man,

happy Black History Month. And it's the last day, man. Congratulate myself. You know, I'm a young business owner, man. I'd like to invite y'all to my restaurant in Georgetown. And also, like, to congratulate South Carolina. I mean, Charlamagne Tha Golf is putting on for South Carolina, man. I like to invite y'all to my restaurant in Georgetown. And also, like, to guys in South Carolina. I mean, Charlamagne and the Golf, putting on for South Carolina, man. You know, he's like Al Baraka, my man.

Real look up to you out here in the South, man. Well, I appreciate you, King. Thank you, my brother. Charlamagne, I'm going to get at you, man. You ain't get back at me yet, man. You know there's plenty of jerks there, bro. I don't know what you want me to do. You read my letter.

I read your letter. Yeah, about the jerk sauce. I got the jerk sauce. I haven't used it yet, but I got some. I got a couple bottles. I need your help, bro. Because right now, like in your book, I got to bring myself around music

and so I can select music for me. I'm kidding. I wouldn't know where to start when it comes to jerk sauce, my brother. That's just not my area of expertise. Well, let him try it first. Let him try it and then let him love it because he might not like it.

It might not be for him. All I can do is shout it out. Shout out to jerk sauce, man. Tell everybody what it's called. It's called honey jerk sauce. I'm the creator, man. I got two sauce. I'm the creator, man.

Honey jerk sauce. Honey jerk thick, man. I'm the creator from South Carolina. Taste lines are joyous. That's my restaurant. But shout out, man. I'm going to need your help when it comes to writing my book, man.

And I got other things coming along, man, like reality TV shows. A lot of things I'm going to need help with, bro. And obviously not just the jerk stuff, you know what I'm saying? Hold on. Why don't you give me your number, Charlamagne? I'm not committing to none of that. Why don't you give me your number? No, I'm not doing that.

I'm not one of these people that make false promises. I'm not committing to that. But you know, you my guy. I'll be monitoring everything you do, my brother. Good luck. Get it off your chest. I don't like the way you say good luck and hang up on me. I said good luck. My God. I was over to give you your number. You said no. So I just said Good luck. Get it off your chest. I don't like the way you say good luck and hang up on me. I said good luck.

My God. I was ordering to give me your number. You said no. So I just said good luck. We'll pray for you. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. Yee, we got rumors all the way?

Yes, let's talk about a juror for Harvey Weinstein who is getting death threats. We'll tell you more about that. Also, Jordan Peele, that trailer is out. The first trailer for Candyman. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So one of the jurors who found Harvey Weinstein guilty has been getting all kinds of threats after she spoke out about the verdict. She got threats on social media and through email saying that she's a snitch. How could she do that? According to her younger sister, now the anonymous juror has now deactivated all of her social media accounts and has left her apartment, which was in Harlem, after giving a TV interview to Inside Edition and left three days ago.

She's been refusing calls from everybody, even her own boyfriend, while she's in hiding waiting for a reaction to the verdict for all of that to calm down. People usually get crucified for doing the right thing, but for every threat she gets, all she has to do is reply back, Harvey, I know this is you. You think that's all it is? People are crazy, though. Like, you're going that hard for Harvey Weinstein, somebody you don't even know, most likely. People are crazy.

Threatening a juror who was doing her job, being on a jury, and she found him guilty. People get crucified for doing the right thing all the time. That's what happens in those cases. All right, now let's talk about Tee Grizzley, Royce the Five Nine, Eminem. This whole, I don't know if it's a misunderstanding, but a lot of incidents that happened. Now, Royce was on The Breakfast Club, and he talked about Tee Grizzley and Eminem collaboration that never happened.

You expressed concern for Tee Grizzley on the album. I feel like a lot of the young guys, they lack the information. And I'm one of the people who I have some of that information. The reason why I say that is because he took a shot at him on a record. Prior to him doing that, Marshall approached me about Tee Grizzley. And he was like, yo, do you think I should jump on a record with him? Do you think I should put him on a record? I said, yes, but I think you should wait just a little bit

until he gets maybe one more of those records just so they don't give you the credit for him taking off i want him to have all of his credit you know i'm saying so he was like you're right all right so we'll just wait and then he came out with the diss and then marshall called me like what the you know i'm saying like he was like he just burned the bridge he ain't even know yet well what was that diss this is t grizzlies no talking burned the bridge and he ain't even know yet. Well, what was that diss? This is T. Grizzlies, No Talkin'. That wasn't that bad. I don't think so. Yeah, it wasn't terrible.

You know, but yeah, so that's what happened. Now, here is what T. Grizzlies has had to say on social media after that. So I see Race to Five and Nine on Breakfast Club saying Eminem said, I burned the bridge that I ain't know I had when I supposedly dissed him. Let me ask you this. What's the use of having a bridge if you don't know you got it?

What's the use of having soldiers if you can't use them, B? Now he goes on to say that he did not understand that. And one more thing, one last thing before I go. So Royce, Eminem came to you and said, should I do a song with T? And you said no. Bro, what type of s*** is that, bro? You told this s*** to wait.

If anything, that's going to help both of us. That's going to make him look like a big homie in the city. And that's going to give me some more pull in this industry, you know what I'm saying? Where a s*** like me got one foot in, one foot out the trenches, bro. We need that type of s***, bro. If somebody come to me and say, should I do a song with one of my n****s? I'd be like, yeah,

turn him up. That's gonna make all of us look good, bro. I don't know what type of move that was. You pulled. He didn't say not to do it, though. He just said to wait. I can see both sides, though. I see why Roy said what he said and why he told Em to wait, but I also see why T. Grizzly feels... Yeah, you had that opportunity.

I see why T. Grizzly feels that way. Like, why wait? I'm a new artist. Let me get that feature. Imagine if Dr. Dre would have said, I'm going to wait until Em gets hot to give him a beat when Em was new. Yeah, but he signed him. It's a little different.

It still don't matter. It's a little different. That's my money now because now that's my investment. It still don't matter, though. You can still sign somebody and let somebody else work with them. Nah, nah. I like T. Grizzly, but I get what Royce was saying. It's like if every artist that came out of New York, Jay did a record with.

Nah, until you get to a certain stature, you get yourself a little hotter, and then, yeah, I got you all day long. We've seen that not work for people, too, like with Drake. There's been times when Drake done put a stamp on something, and then... Yeah, but when you a new artist, and you get that stamp from somebody established, it does propel you. It does, absolutely. It helped Eminem with Dr. Dre.

Definitely helped 50 when Eminem and Dre stamped him. Those are all different because they signed them. I also don't think that he said it wouldn't help him. He was just saying that he didn't want it to seem like Eminem put him on. That's what he was really saying. Drake stamping Makonnen. You know what I'm saying? Well, I guess Makonnen would sign to Drake too. Either way, a stamp

from a new artist, I mean a stamp from an established artist helps. It does help. So I understand what Tee Grizzley was saying. I understand both sides. I see why Royce said to wait, but I also see why Tee Grizzley was like, damn, why can't I get that? Yeah, because I'm Grizzley. I'm mad too.

I'm like, man, I'm from the city. My record's popping. Help me. Help me now. Yeah, get it to him. Well, Tee Grizzley said, make an eight mile part two and put me in it and we can squash this ish.

A, Eminem and Royce the Five Nine, F with your man, it's all love. That's good. It's just a little Detroit misunderstanding. They'll figure that out. And Grizzly a good dude, too. I like Grizzly. Alright, now let's skip ahead to Jordan Peele. The trailer for the 1992

Candyman classic, Reimagined, is out. You know I can't wait to go see that. And here's a snippet of that for you. He's the monster that's part of this neighborhood. Why are you drawn to this? I'm hoping to spread the story

all about Candyman. The mirror invites you to summon him. You should say his name. I dare you. I cannot wait. Yeah, you're on your own. You know I'm going to see that.

I hope I get invited to the screening so I can make it happen. But, yes. I don't pay people to scare me. You know what I'm saying? I'm not going to be seeing that. The only reason I even like Jordan Peele's horror is because it's always rooted in some type of deeper societal issue. What societal issue could Candyman be about?

Nope. You ever watch the original Candyman? Nope. Was it going to be about climate change this time? The bees are dying? It was in the Cabrini Green Projects in Chicago. That's already a watch the original Candyman? Nope. Was it going to be about climate change this time? The bees are dying. It was in the Cabrini Green Projects in Chicago. That's already a horror movie. What else? I gotta go back

because that was in 92. So I gotta look at it again now and see because when I watched it, I was just watching it. Listen, you set the environment. Cabrini Green Projects in Chicago. I'm terrified already. Where's the new one? Pink Houses in Brooklyn? What's the next one?

And did you know the original? The last projects in Brooklyn not to be drenched are falling. Now, somebody in here was talking about this movie, the original, right? And he said that the star of the movie, who's the director also, actually said he used hypnosis to get a deeper performance from the woman, Virginia Mattson, that's in the movie, and said he got a $1,000 bonus for every bee sting. So there was a scene where there were all these bees all over him,

and I guess he got $1,000 for each bee sting. That's amazing. I couldn't even tell you because I ain't watched it. Somebody should flip that whole concept and let the actual horror be gentrification. What's scaring the brothers and sisters in the projects is all the white people moving in. The Starbucks and the Whole Foods popping up. That's what's scaring the black and brown people the projects is all the white people moving in. The Starbucks and the Whole Foods popping up. That's what's scaring the black and brown people now. That's real hard.

Gentrification and displacement is real hard now. He got stung 23 times, by the way, by bees. Okay. Thank God he wasn't allergic. Mm-hmm. All right. I'm Azele Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right.

Thank you, Missy. Front page news, what are we talking about? We are going to talk about coronavirus. Now, they do have a patient, the first one in the United States, with unknown origin of coronavirus. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with coronavirus. This is alarming.

Now, the California patient tested positive for the coronavirus. Days after being hospitalized, that patient is a woman who is in serious condition. And they said they don't even know where she got it. So it's an unknown origin of coronavirus. That's the first one of those cases here in the United States of the 60 confirmed cases. 42 of them were passengers on the Diamond Princess cruise ship that docked in Japan after an outbreak in quarantine. Three were coming from Wuhan, China, and 14 were patients who had recently been to China or were the spouses of somebody who had returned from China. So now they're saying this is alarming because this is the first instance of community spread of the virus.

Is that story about the Corona Brewer losing $170 million in sales since the outbreak of the virus. Correct. Is that story about the Corona brewer losing $170 million in sales since the outbreak of the coronavirus true? Well, they did say sales are down about 38% for Corona. I'm saying, is it true? I don't know about that particular one, but sales of Corona, the drink, are down 38%. That makes perfect sense to me if it is true

because it sucks that it has to be named after a beer everyone loves. Like, why can't it be named after natural light or something? And I think they named it coronavirus on purpose because eventually Trump is going to find a way to blame this on Mexico. All right, well, the Dow has tumbled almost 1,200 points, and that is the worst single-day point drop in the history of the Dow. It's getting nasty.

It's a 124-year history. That is the worst point drop ever. Maybe that's how it is, yo. Maybe this is it for us. Maybe 2020 is when it's all right. They're saying that they think people are going to start pulling their money out because the Dow's dropping and people are very scared about coronavirus. There's nothing you can do. Those masks

that people are charging you $20, $30, $40 for, they don't work, so stop buying those masks. Honestly, if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. That sounds like a pick at this point. You know what's interesting? My makeup artist just said that. My makeup artist, Sandra Dean said that at her friend's job,

they actually have done coronavirus training. What the hell is that? Stop dropping roses. I don't know. You hide under the desk. You know what I'm saying? How do you stop coronavirus? That's what I said. She said what they do is they tell you to wash your hands for 20 seconds. They teach you the right way to use the hand sanitizer. Was this kindergarten?

I don't know. You should know to wash your hands. And then they said when you go home to spray your clothes with Lysol when you come in the house. You might as well get Smokey to bed at a point and say, only you can prevent coronavirus. So that's what I guess some people are doing. That's funny. Now, Donald Trump has also put Vice President Mike Pence in charge of the U.S. government response to coronavirus. That's right.

We're going to pray it away the way he thinks you can pray gay away. So according to Donald Trump, he's saying that the virus poses a very low risk to Americans. FYI, y'all niggas ain't no better, too, because I saw y'all saying yesterday that no black person can die of coronavirus because of the melanin and the blood. I was like, what? That was hot for a hot second.

For a hot second, I was like, that's dope. I knew it was alive. I'm like, where y'all getting this from? I said, that's hot, though. That's hot? Play around if you want. Play around if you want what? Oh, you mean like, yeah, you still catch it.

Then you can't get it. Whatever, man. All right. And Sirius XM top executive has been quarantined, too, over a coronavirus scare to help prevent the spread of the virus. So according to... What executive? Her name is Sally McMahon. She held a meeting with her team, and they said some of the attendees had recently traveled through Japan, which was also heavily struck by the virus.

So because of that, they want to be cautious, and they have quarantined her. Where'd she make that? LA or New York? I'm not sure which office. If it's New York, don't shake Sway Hand if you see Sway in the street. Don't shake nobody that's shaking 45 hands. Don't shake Sway. Oh, my goodness. All right.

And that is front page news. When we come back, G Herbo will be joining us. We'll kick it with G Herbo. Chicago's own. He has a new project out today. So don't move. PTSD. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. G-Erbo.

What's up? What's up, y'all? What's up, good brother? What's up, bro? How you feeling? You look good, man. Thank you. Thank you, man.

I feel good, man. New album out, PTSD? Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited, man. What's the significance of the title? I know you got clinically diagnosed with PTSD. Yeah. The significance of the album is to bring people into, you know what I'm saying,

not only my world, but to shed light on something that's a serious problem out here. You know, where I come from, and I'm sure is, I mean, I'm positive, is so many other neighborhoods all across the country that are similar to mine, where these kids are really suffering from mental health illnesses and don't even know it because I was once one of them. How did that make you feel? I was looking at All-Star and everybody glorified All-Star. They were downtown spending so much

money, but there's so many people that still hurt on the outer skirts. How was that for you watching that? I enjoyed my All-Star weekend, but I was actually still going out to the high schools. When I'm in Chicago, I go to the juvenile facilities and I go to high schools and Like, when I'm in Chicago, I go to the juvenile facilities, and I go to high schools, and I go to these, you know what I'm saying,

youth centers or whatever such to really give back to my people and let them see me, you know what I'm saying, because they need that. So I don't really, like, I don't really pay attention to what everybody else is doing. I just try to make sure I'm doing the right thing, you know what I'm saying. But, you know, a lot of people really, you know, they glorify the stuff that's, you know what I'm saying, don't really mean nothing, this shit, the stuff that's fabricated in a way,

but it's like, you know, the stuff that really is important, we overlook it. How many celebrities got robbed in Chicago all-star weekend? I heard, I don't know, I heard a couple people probably got robbed, man. I heard some crazy stuff, man. Nobody called you yet? Hey, Herbal, can you help me get this back? No, man, I would have helped them, though. Whoever would have called me, I probably could have made something happen for them, man. I heard some crazy stuff, man. Nobody called you yet? Hey, Herbal, can you help me get this back? No, man.

I would have helped them, though. Whoever would have called me, I probably could have made something happen for them, man. Like day four. Like day four. Yeah, I heard about a couple people getting robbed. So you don't, I know you don't live in Chicago, but is that because of the PTSD and the trauma? No, I only left Chicago so I could focus on what I need to do and really, you know what I'm saying, accomplish my goals so I could go back to Chicago. I'm going back to Chicago.

I'm giving back, you know what I'm saying. I'm a partner in a school. Me and my partners, we own a school in Chicago. Oh, word. Yeah, we bought one of the 50 CPS schools that got closed down. We bought it cash. Wow. So, you know, I'm really just in L.A. just focused

because I'm a fly on the wall, I feel like, out there. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not really a crab in a barrel mentality. I could go from the studio home and focus, you know what I'm saying, take my son to Disneyland if I want to, you know. But I really got, like, three to five years playing in L.A. I'm going back home. Has this opened up conversations with you and some of your friends in Chicago,

like other artists, about PTSD when you decided to name the album that, and then you and the people around you, did y'all have like you know this is how I found out because you did find out through a therapy yeah that you were suffering from PTSD is this a conversation yeah I talk to Chance all the time you know I'm saying me and Chance we be doing stuff well I didn't already like gave back to his mental health organization we gonna partner because I'm doing my own organization where I'm focusing on mental health also you know I'm saying I'll be talking to you know my peers like Dirt and stuff like that just about the stuff that I've been through the stuff that he's been through and how they both align with each other you know I'm saying because we've had so we face so much trauma we take in so much trauma where we

come from we get normalized back you know I'm saying how did you come to the realization that what you were experiencing wasn't normal like I know you saw your first murder at nine, I think I read, and you got shot at 16. When did you realize, man, this shit ain't normal? It's been in the past maybe two years or something like that, you know what I'm saying? Because I got a strong mind, bro. So when I was going through a lot of the stuff that I'm going through, like I said, we felt like it was normal. I felt like, all right, I'm going through this for a reason. I could get through it, you know what I'm saying

My will in the streets was always Know what I'm up against and that's how I got home You know what I'm saying, like I just said Before you asked that question, just really Comparing the contrast to two, I seen my first murder At eight years old, I got shot at sixteen years old Imagine if I was eight years old And I grew up in Schaumburg

Or I grew up in a whole nother suburb You know what I'm saying, I never went to therapy after I seen my first murder. The kids go to therapy after their parents get divorced. You know what I'm saying? I didn't go talk to nobody after I got shot. I came right back outside after I was shot with a gun on my waist again. Damn. You know, when you talk about therapy, what made it okay to go to therapy?

Because back then, I mean, growing up, therapy was never cool. It was nothing you ever thought about ever. You had to go. Yeah, I didn't even think that it was cool, to be honest, when I went. I wasn't interested in going. It was actually like my lawyer kind of referred for me to go, and it was kind of like part of my conditions

while I was, you know what I'm saying, with my case. I wasn't even on probation. I was just fighting my case. And I got arrested for guns back in um february of 2018 and it was really never a matter of me having guns and not is why do you have these guns i need these guns to protect myself i'm somebody in chicago rather i'd me be having this stardom i was a somebody when i was 16 years old people knew me people been trying to kill me probably since I was 15 years old so I was normalized back because it was my reality but um that's not normal it's not normal so when I was explaining it to like my lawyer and stuff like that uh so she told me like she

set it up like go and I went to go see the therapist and I didn't even think like I'm not gonna go talk to no therapist or I didn't even think that you could talk to somebody and they could help you because they don't even relate to what you got going on. She come from a, my therapist is a 30-something-year-old white lady, so I'm thinking that she's going

to be able to, you know what I'm saying, relate to me, but it was good for me to talk to her because she don't relate. Exactly. You know, it's so funny.

When I first was looking for a therapist, I wanted somebody that didn't have none of my biases, none of my prejudices, nothing. So I was actually looking for an Asian woman. But that was very hard to find.

So I ended up with this white woman. And it's good because the things we think are normal, when you're talking to her, she's like... I was telling her some s*** that I've been through, bro, and she thought I was on a movie. She thought I was explaining real live movie stuff to her. I'm not even going to lie to you. I can tell by the way your skin's glowing that therapy is working for you. When did it start to kick in? Good looking, man.

I don't know. One session turned into five. Five turned into ten. You know what I'm saying? Like, me and my therapist close now. We laugh. We joke.

You go once a week? I go once a week. Yeah, yeah. I go once a week and then when I'm traveling I go right back to Chicago just for therapy sessions. Oh, there's therapy

in Chicago. So you got to go to Chicago. I go to Chicago for therapy. Wow. Now what about the album cover? Because we see the flag, and we see the faces of the people on the flag, and you said it's the 50 stars

that represent something for you. Mm-hmm. So what is that representing? 50 friends that died, right? Yeah, 50 of not just people from Chicago, 50 of my close friends, 50 people that I grew up with, 50 of my friends' fathers,

50 of my friends' mothers, aunties, little sisters, brothers, uncles, you know what I'm saying? I wanted to bring people into my reality because people go to war. You actually volunteer to go to war and you may see one or two people die and they have you come back and go do all of this stuff. But we really like involuntarily was set up for war, you know what I'm saying? For these obstacles and everything that we had to, you know what I'm saying, for these obstacles and everything that we had to endure. So it was important for me to really bring people into that. I'm 24 years old. I really know more than 50 people there.

It's not just 50 people. It's 50 stars on the flag. 24 years old. I know I don't have 50 people that died around me. So you could put somebody who never came from that and put them in my environment. They would have no choice but to adapt to it because you're going to either become a product of it or you're going to meet your demands.

All right, we have more with G Herbo. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with G Herbo. How would you say that people can help clean up Chicago?

How can we fix what's going on there? Because you've been there. You lived in the trenches. You've still kicking it with G Herbo. How would you say that people can help clean up Chicago? How can we fix what's going on there? Because you've been there. You lived in the trenches. You've been through it. How would somebody like a politician that's on the outside, how would you advise them to clean it up? It's crazy. It's important because I want to work with the mayor. I want to work with the mayor. Get out here and try to bring

the murder rate down because I feel like I got the influence to do it, but you have to get people resources. You can't really force nobody to But you have to, you got to give people resources. You can't really force nobody to get off a corner if you don't have no alternative. Got to provide them opportunity. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, that's the first step for sure. You know what I'm saying?

We got to start with the youth. I come from youth centers and after school programs and stuff like that. So that's why I was important for, you know what I'm saying, to have a facility in Chicago where we could bring that back because they don't have that no more. You know what I'm saying? These kids, 9, 10, 11, 12, literally doing drugs, carrying guns, and using them at that age in Chicago.

You got to provide opportunities for people, but you also got to put the focus back on, like, the so-called regular job. Like, these kids got to learn trades, right? Yeah. But meet the electrician that makes six figures a year. Absolutely. The plumber that makes six figures a year. Absolutely, because, you know, you get to maximize on your,

well, if you get to maximize on your talents early, you get to, you know what I'm saying, really make mistakes and say, this for me, this not for me. So that's why we do have that facility. We opened a multimedia facility, bro, where we're going to have green screen room, and we're going to have another facility on the side where it's a real art and business incubator.

So whatever you want, if you want to do videography, you want to do anything, if you want to be an electrician, like you said, we could have somebody find a resource, somebody who actually got a career, a profession in electrician that's going to help you, you know what I'm saying? So that's important. You got to really give people an option, an alternative other than being in the streets because that's all they have. It's not what they want to do.

It's literally all they have. Do you want to raise your son in Chicago? Is that important to you? I kind of, to be honest, I kind of do. I want him to be able to have that foundation. I want him to be able to see what I had to overcome. You know what I'm saying? And I always say, like, that's why it's important for me

to really get back to Chicago because I never take my son you know what I'm saying? And I always say, like, that's why it's important for me to really get back to Chicago because I never take my son on a block I grew up on if it's still dangerous, if it's still a red zone. Like, they really considered the block I grew up on a red zone where the bus stop, the CTA bus stop, they had to move off our corner to the next busy street because your chance of waiting on that bus, you more likely to die. Your chances of getting shot down, just shot up by having many percent.

You know what I'm saying? So I do want my son to, you know what I'm saying, get a feel of that. Because I don't want him to take life for granted. Did you have a father growing up? Yeah, I've been with my father forever. My father, my mom and dad have been together since my mom was 16. My dad was 19. They both in their 50s now.

So how do you raise your son differently than the way you would raise? If any. Really, just growing up and seeing everything that my father did, right or wrong, right and wrong, kind of gave me a little blueprint to follow as far as raising my son. My dad kind of instilled morals in me early, you know what I'm saying? Be a leader, like that, I didn't even understand. You be a leader, I'm going to kill you. I'll catch you following after somebody, like that, you know what I'm saying? Be a leader like that. I didn't even understand. You be a leader, I'm going to kill you. I'll catch you

following after somebody like that. You know what I'm saying? Like he told me that early. I was a kid and just being brutally honest with me about, you know what I'm saying, what the world was. So I feel that's the key. You got to be honest with your kids or they're going to end up like Tariq off power.

What have you learned from fatherhood? Being a father? I learned a lot. It's not about me no more. I can't be selfish. It's not about my emotions, my ego, how I feel about certain situations. You know what I'm saying? I always got to think about my son, and I always got to make sure I'm adding that balance to my life

where, you know, my son is one years old. He'd really be looking for me. He'd be like, daddy, call my phone and stuff like that. You know what I'm saying? So I got to keep that in my head and really move a certain way because it's really like about him. It ain't even about me no more. Did therapy help you in learning how to deal with your son's mother, your ex? Like, did that help you?

Because y'all were having so much back and forth. Yeah, some what, some what. But not really. I ain't really like, to be honest, I never used to like all the way talk to my therapist about, you know what I'm saying, that kind of stuff.

We had a few conversations, but on the outside looking in, I never really like fed into that kind of stuff. I think internally, I always tried to do the right thing or the next right thing, even when I did make mistakes. So I kind of gave myself the guidance

as to like how to set the tone for my son even when I did make mistakes. So I kind of gave myself the guidance as to, like, how to set the tone for my son's mom and stuff like that. And what about the, you know, they said you were addicted to Xanax and other pills. How did you get off that? Was it therapy or was it? No, I actually went to a treatment. I went to detox facility. I went to Phoenix. I paid $25,000 to go get clean.

It was a 30-day process. I heard you went twice. Yeah, I did. That's 50 bands. It was a 30-day process. I heard you went twice. Yeah, I did. That's 50 bands. That's a great investment, though. I went one time, got clean. And, you know, addiction is real. I got back addicted.

And then, you know, but I'm always the guy, like, I ain't going to lie to you. I do some crazy shit or some bad shit knowing I'm doing it. So even when I started back drinking, I knew I was doing some, you know, I wanted to escape, but it's like, it's not no escape for real, but I'm the type of guy. Like I think when I was doing that, that escape stopped me from really acting off of rational emotion or something like that, or really making a crazy decision.

I swear. So what do you do now to like process your, I guess, emotional pain and anxiety? I just lean towards it, man. I ain't going to lie. I always got somebody to vent to, though. That's why my girl be feeling like she be getting, like, you know what I'm saying, the crazy energy

because you got to vent to somebody, you know what I'm saying? I always say that the closest person to you, usually your girl or your wife, they get it the most. They get it the most. You have all that outside pressure. When you come home, you want that serenity, that peace, so it it the most. They get it the most. You have all that outside pressure. When you come home, you want that serenity, that peace. So it's like you got to let it all out.

I'm really swimming with sharks on a day-to-day. So it's like if I don't got peace at home, but it's like I do have peace at home, of course. But I'm saying like she feel like she might get it the most or get it the worst because it's like I don't show my emotion to the world. That's why I started going to therapy. I don't show my emotion to people who I care about. I started going to therapy. I don't show my emotion to people who I care about. I started going because I didn't want to put all of that baggage on my girl. You know what I'm saying? Because she got her own things she dealing with.

How does she handle it, though? How is she handling it? She handling it well. I ain't going to lie. She do a good job handling it. Of course, she got to have somebody to vent to. It's a cycle. What's your advice for brothers in the hood who are going through these same things,

but they're not seeking treatment or therapy? or they don't get treated like soldiers do? It's really just staying focused, bro. You don't feel the way you feel for no reason. You're not thinking and having these feelings and having these emotions and having this intuition for no reason. You know what I'm saying? It's a greater destiny out there for everybody to go fulfill. You know what I'm saying? You got your own legacy and life to fulfill.

I always look at Chicago, right? I look at what Brooklyn was and what Harlem was. And I had this conversation with Dirk a couple of months ago. The areas is so effed up in certain areas that they're just letting buildings go. And those buildings are nothing. And I'm trying to tell him, like, reinvest in your own city. Because it's going to pop. And it's so close to downtown.

Are you investing in the city? Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. I just, my dad did real estate, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, my partner do real estate. I be hollering at my homie Leonard. Me and Leonard Frenette, we'd be, like, talking when it come to, you know what I'm saying, investing in it, and I'm trying to actually

buy a building on my block that I grew up on right now as we speak. You made me think of something when you talked about the anxiety and using it to survive. Because I was talking to one of my partners, a white guy who's filthy, filthy rich. And he said that growing up, anxiety helped him to survive because he knew when to get out of something.

He knew when to move, whatever, whatever. But it's like when you get to a certain level, how much of that do you really want to let go? Because we don't want it all the time, but then you don't want to end up in a situation like God bless the dead, a pop smoke, or a nip. You know what I mean? I feel like I follow my intuition, and I know when something is right. I know when something ain't right. So you really don't let it go.

I try not to let it go. You know what I'm saying? I feel like I wear my scars proudly. Everything I went through, I went for a reason. I try to find an alternative to not let it get the best of me. But I don't really, I try not to let it go because I feel like when I do let it go, that's going to be the difference in my safety, my success. You know what I'm saying?

So I just, I try to wear it all the time even. And when I know I'm safe, I feel like I ain't safe. I use that same drive, that same instinct to really, like, maneuver on a day-to-day basis. I don't move. We got more with G Herbo when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right.

G Herbo. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk growing up hip-hop. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Angela Yee. It's the in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.

Well, I saw some reports saying that Romeo and Master P were leaving Growing Up Hip Hop, even though they're executive producers. Romeo's an executive producer. On the show, I saw on the Jasmine brand that they were saying, according to sources, there was a disagreement with production or with the network. And he also had taken it out of his bio on social media. Well, they are on The Breakfast Club, and you'll hear the full interview on Monday,

but here is a clip of them discussing their departure from growing up hip-hop. So you guys are not on growing up hip-hop anymore. Y'all know we started the show. Right. But think about this. It's also about having integrity. And I feel like the show is not going where it used to be at. I've been in this business for 19 years.

And I'm at a place where it's all about my inner peace. So even with the show, it's not about the money. I'm the highest paid on the network. But I had to walk away because I can't sell my soul for money. I can't sell my soul for a storyline. So he says a lot more about it, too. But if you recall, we did have Angela and JoJo on The Breakfast Club. And here's what she had to say about their storyline not being fake.

After everything happened with me and my child's father and what happened with my son, he was like, I'm a beater for you. And he said this on TV. So I was like, yo, like, if you say that, and I don't care if we film or not, really mean that. Correct. Because, like, that really means a lot to me, especially with what I have on my plate. And

to me, he didn't step up at all. And I'm like, I don't expect nobody to do nothing for me. Like, whatever, it's fine. But he didn't step up. Right. And then so we got around time to film, and I hadn't heard from him. So I'm like, let me hit him up, you know, see what's going on, what we doing this season. Silence. Alright, well, Romeo didn't appreciate that.

Those comments that she made when she was on The Breakfast Club and he said this. I know you said when Angela Simmons was up here and she had things to say too about being disappointed because you guys had such a strong relationship and you not reaching out. Wait, we had a strong what? Really? Like friendship, relationship, not relationship like that.

But y'all have known each other for a long time. I got no problems with those people. So, you know, for me, I want to wish everybody luck. I want to wish everybody the best. I want to uplift people. That's why I left the show. It's fake drama. Alright, so according to

sources, you know, they have no issues or no drama with anybody from the show. They just felt like they wanted to move in a different direction. Guess it's true. All right, Jess Blaze. Apparently, according to Jess Blaze, he did an interview on Soul Collectors' full-size run. He talked about the Pump It Up song,

Joe Button's Pump It Up song, which he produced. He was talking to, by the way, Trinidad James is one of the co-hosts on that show, along with Matt Welty and Brendan Dunn. He said that song, which he produced back in 2003, was originally about masturbation. Did you know that? Listen to this. Did you know the original version of Pump It Up was about

masturbation? You know how in the second verse he's like, my jump off doesn't care if I go out so much. My jump off originally was, my hand doesn't worry if I go out so much. So the song would have been called Hand. Why are you snorting, yo? My hand doesn't care.

That's the name of the song it was going to be? No, no, I'm kidding. No, he was just saying, I guess his hand was his jump off. It's weird. Doesn't care if I go out so much, my hand doesn't worry about. I tried to call him this morning to ask him, but he didn't answer. And you know what's crazy? And Royce the Five Nine had tweeted this out

back in 2013. He said, Joe Button just told me Pump It Up was originally written about jerking off. That jump off was his hand. Can't say that word. Sorry.

Masturbation is the term. Two words. Anyway, here's that song in case you need a reminder. My jump off doesn't run off at the mouth so much. My jump off never has

why I go out so much. My jump off never has me going out of my way. She don't want nothing on Valentine's Day. My jump off don't argue Wait a minute. I don't know if his hand should be hanging out with the fellas. He said that? Can I play that again? If they were changing the word jump off to hand, if it was originally my hand. My hand. My hand. My hand.

My hand. My hand. My hand. My hand. Oh. And then he's like, oh. Yeah, my hand don't mind hanging out with the fellas. Would have been kind of wild.

Not back then, because all of y'all had rumors. They go, oh. There was rumors about all of y'all. There wasn't. All right. That whole squad. You too. Don't forget about Glitterstick.

I got my own rumors now, but I'm talking about back then, Desert Storm had rumors. I didn't have no rumors. Not Fab, though. Fab was the only one. I didn't have no rumors. Who? Me. Don't make me tell a story. All right. You had a few. You had a few. You Fab, though. Fab was the only one. I didn't have no rumors. Who? Me. Don't make me tell the story. Alright, you had a few.

You had a few. You had a few. Now, Charlamagne was on Stephen Colbert last night, and amongst things he discussed was how he can't wait to wear a Trump MAGA hat. That's not what I said. What would Donald Trump have to do for you to put on the MAGA hat? Oh, we would all have

to realize that he was the return of Jesus Christ. If he found out that he was the return of jesus christ just just just here just here to found out that he was the return of jesus yeah because he was sent here to test us you know i'm saying to see how to see how forgiving we are as human beings you know what i'm saying like you know to see if we would give jesus a fair chance if he came in like the worst possible form of a human being? Would you still accept him as your Lord and Savior if he took off the mask and it was Jesus under that Trump mask?

Would you still accept him? I'm asking the questions here, sir. That's the only way I would wear the hat if we found out the reason the MAGA hat was red because it was covered in the blood of Jesus. That's the only explanation. All right, and then you talked about who hasn't been on the Breakfast Club of the blood of Jesus. That's the only explanation. Alright, and then you talked about who hasn't been

on the Breakfast Club of the nominees. Have you interviewed all the candidates? I've interviewed everybody except for Biden and Klobuchar. Okay, are they avoiding you? Yes, I've gotten on good authority that Biden's black surrogates do not want Joe Biden to come on the Breakfast Club.

Really? Yes, but I'm... You'd be nice. You'd be fair, right? I would be myself. I think it's very fair. I would be fair. I mean, I just got questions. I mean, I got the same questions that everybody else has. You know, the same things that we, you know, hold Bloomberg accountable for, which was the stop and frisk.

I would want to know about the 94 crime bill with Joe Biden. I would also want to know why he can't just simply apologize for it and say he made a mistake. That's one thing I give Bloomberg over Biden. Bloomberg can admit that the stop and frisk was a mistake. That's one thing I give Bloomberg over Biden. Bloomberg can admit that the stop interference was a mistake. Listen, trust me, all you black surrogates around Joe Biden, we are fully aware that you don't want him here on The Breakfast Club.

It's gotten back to us. And I respect every Democratic candidate who's come up here because that shows you understand the value of black and brown voters and you are meeting us where we are. Joe Biden doesn't want to do that. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Charlemagne, donkey today coming up? Yes, four after the hour.

We need you to know the name Officer Dennis Turner. We need you to know that name. Officer Dennis Turner, former police officer. Thank God he's a former police officer, but we'll make him infamous four after the hour. All right, we'll get to that next. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This don't be a donkey,

because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Delisa? Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. That's The Breakfast Club, bitches.

You're a donkey. Yes, donkey of the day for Friday, February 28th goes to former Orlando police officer Dennis Turner. Now, I say former because Dennis Turner has been fired, and rightfully so, because this week, a newly released police body camera video showed Dennis Turner arresting a six-year-old girl. Now, I have not watched this video.

The reason I have not watched this video is because the way my anxiety is set up, that video will get stuck in my head. And me being the girl dad that I am, I will keep having visions of one of my baby girls in that same position. And then I will have visions of me losing my life because an officer would have to kill me. See, I don't know what it is about the uniform, the badge, the gun that makes police officers forget they are human. But every single one of you men who are police officers, you have a mother, you have a sister, you have an aunt, you have a daughter, you have a woman in your life that you love, that you would not want to see any harm come to.

Not to mention, you officers with kids, man. You dads, if you love yours, if you love your kids, if you love your little girls the way I love mine, then I shouldn't have to explain to you how I feel. If you have a child, if you are really in your child's life, if you are raising your child, especially a man raising a daughter, then you understand the love a parent has for a child, the love a father has for

a daughter because you are one. With that said, there is no way in hell former Orlando police officer Dennis Turner has kids. If he does, child services need to pay him a visit because if you can take a six-year-old girl, put her hands behind her back and put zip ties on her wrists as she screams for help, you are a goddamn sociopath.

You have an icebox where your heart used to be. Now, I haven't watched this video like I told y'all. I haven't even listened. Well, I did listen to the audio producer play it for me this morning, but before that, I only had read the transcripts I read what T.I. posted about it But I'm going to play some of the audio now So if you get triggered easily like I do

If you hear stories like this And you don't want them in your brain Because you fear your thoughts become things like I do Turn the radio off Rejoin us in about 8 minutes For the Suzy Orman interview If you want to thug it out with me though And listen to this audio,

and we just do our breathing exercises later, or maybe you got therapy scheduled for later today, whatever it is, there's ways to get this out your system. But in order to give Dennis Turner the proper credit he deserves for being stupid, let's go to NBC News for the report, please. The arrest happened inside an Orlando charter school. Former resource officer Dennis Turner telling another officer in this video to put a six-year-old in restraints. The incident captured on body cam last September unfolding after staff complained the little girl was acting out.

The child hauled away to a squad car begging to be let go. In his police report, Turner said staff wanted to press charges which the school denies. The video shows employees asking if restraints are necessary. Yes, and if she was bigger, she would have been wearing regular handcuffs. Turner then says his latest arrest is a new milestone. 6,000 people have arrested over the 28 years. Seven is the youngest. She's eight, isn't she? She's six. Now she has broken the record. With all charges dropped against the six-year-old, days later, Turner was out of a job. Perhaps a bigger lesson learned at school that day. Not so fun fact.

Do you know Dennis Turner was involved in the arrest of two six-year-old girls in one week back in September? One of them was the girl in this video, and he was fired within days because of it. Now, yes, I'm happy he's been fired, but you have to make people like Dennis Turner infamous, okay? People need to know his name. So when you see his name pop up for future job references or whatever it is he may do in the future, he needs to have resistance, okay?

He needs to feel that pressure from the streets, okay? Life should not be easy for this guy, and life won't be easy for this guy because his karma, his energy will always be bad until he gets on his knees and prays for forgiveness and repents for the trauma he caused this young girl. You are responding to a report that a six-year-old girl had battered.

Think about that. A six-year-old girl had battered three staff members by kicking and punching them. If somebody calls a grown-ass adult to a school to respond to a six-year-old who's accused of battery and that adult approaches the situation the same way he would approach another grown-ass adult, then that's a problem.

You don't approach a situation like that with malice, anger, or bitterness in your heart. You approach that situation with understanding, love, and empathy. She's six years old, people. Six. One, two, three, four, five. Six. Four plus two. Three plus three. Five plus one. Six.

Okay? To me, this is a classic situation of pain being redistributed. Okay? This cop, Dennis Turner, clearly has issues. He clearly is a hurt individual and hurt people hurt people. So whatever trauma this cop, Dennis Turner, has been dealt with, he passed on to this six-year-old little girl. But F all that.

Okay? He's been fired. But I really think he needs to be arrested. Okay? For child abuse. I don't know. Assault on a child. Something.

Okay? I think the school and the parents need to press charges. Okay? Him being fired is not enough. That young girl is going to be emotionally traumatized probably forever. Therefore, I need a stiffer punishment for this cop, Dennis Turner. Not just the firing, okay? I don't have anything more to say about this. I know there's people out there smarter than me that can figure out what this guy needs to be

charged for. I just want the people of Florida to know and the world to remember the name Dennis Turner. Former Orlando police officer, Dennis Turner. If he doesn't get prosecuted by the law, well, then the court of public opinion needs to convict him. Please give Dennis Turner the biggest hee-haw.

I mean, I don't understand it. He might not have kids. There's no way that you would treat a six-year-old like that. It's possible. I know he don't have kids. I mean, listen, I can't say without a shadow of a doubt he don't have kids, but there's no way you got a daughter and you would treat somebody else's daughter like that. I don't think you even have to have kids to know not to do that. I don't say without a shadow of a doubt he don't have kids, but there's no way you got a daughter and you would treat somebody else's daughter like that. I don't think you even have to have kids to know not to do that.

I don't know. That's a lack of empathy. I don't understand it. I mean, I started watching the video, and then I just had to stop because I couldn't believe it. I was like, this got to be fake. I can't watch this. There's no way that you take a 16-year-old girl,

put her in cuffs, she's screaming, please don't put me in a police car. No. No, no, no. All right. Mm-hmm. girl. Put her in cuffs. She's screaming, please don't put me in a police car. No. Nope, nope, nope. Alright. Alright, thank you for that donkey today. Up next, Suzy Orman will be joining us. We'll kick it with Suzy Orman.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ and the Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building. She's back. Yes, indeed.

Suzy Orman. Welcome back. I'm so happy to be here. You amped up because your book is number one on Amazon? Can you believe it? It came out just, I think it was yesterday, and it's like, you went to number one. What is that about? The ultimate retirement guide for 50 plus strategies to make your money last a lifetime.

And before we even get started, you actually told me you're going to do something really special for our listeners. I am. So you better listen to this whole interview to get what I'm going to give you because because this is I listen. I know you think I'm here just to sell you my book just so that you buy this book. I'm not here. I don't care if you buy this book or not.

Go to the library and take it out. Right. What I'm really interested in is that you're making the most out of your money and I get that a lot of you aren't 50. I get that a lot of you are younger, but I can tell you one thing. Your mom and your pop, they're not doing well with their money.

And if you want to really do something, you better listen up to what we offer you later on and make sure your parents listen because when your parents don't have money, no matter what you do with your money, you're going to end up having to take care of your mom and my papa and you aren't going to have any money. So this is for everybody, believe it or not. You know, this is the 11th book that I've written. I have over 30 million copies of my books out there.

Go ahead, humble brag. I'm going to brag it all the way home. Because that's a feat unto itself. Yes, it is. But the only way that that many books are purchased is that the books change the lives of the people that are reading them. And one person tells another person, there ain't enough publicity out there that could sell that many books. But a good book sells itself. And this is a great book. So what's the best way to financially prepare for retirement?

Start early. Start early. I know, I know. You're young. You're 25. And you're thinking, I have time. I can start saving. Time is the most important ingredient in any financial freedom recipe.

And I'll just give you a very quick example. You are 25 and you put $100 a month away into a Roth IRA. And a Roth IRA is in a retirement account after tax. You don't get a tax write-off for it. You fund it after tax money. $100 every month in a Roth IRA. And you put it in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index Fund. And you do it for 40 years with average market returns of about 12% annual average returns, you'll have $1 million by the time you are 65, but you wait, you just wait. And you think $100 a month is $1,200 a year in 10 years. That's only $12,000. What difference can $12,000 make? You start at 35. All right, everybody, what do you think you'll have at the age of 65? You have a million dollars if you started at 25. What would you have if you started at 35? What do you think? I would say maybe $600,000. What do you think, anybody? I mean, I guess a half a million. I think $250,000. Yeah. Right. You would have $300,000.

Those 10 years cost you $700,000, and that is at $100 a month. Nothing makes up for time. So the key is to do it younger, and I get everybody thinks, I want to spend my money when I'm young. I don't want to be old. I'm about to be 69 years of age in the next three months. Go ahead, Susie. Huh?

I said, go ahead. I'm going, I'm bragging on everything, on my books and my everything. As you should. Right. But life starts when you get older, believe it or not. And I get it that everybody says, don't pay off the mortgage on your home if you're lucky enough to be able to purchase a home, right? Because that's your only tax write off. If you're going to stay in that home, can you just pay off the mortgage on your home? There's not one seriously wealthy person out there that has a mortgage on their home, no matter how big that mortgage is. So get yourself out of debt because debt is bondage

and you are never going to be financially independent if you have bondage. So at 35, if you haven't been saving, if you haven't done what you need to do, probably you also have debt. Just make it your number one priority to get out of debt. I was telling Susie out there that I just paid off my mortgage for my birthday. Yeah, five, five, five. Here's the problem.

Interest rates are at their all-time low. The market is still relatively at its all-time high, no matter what's happening here right now. Real estate is off the charts everywhere throughout the United States. So there isn't a lot right now that you can do with your money to get it to help you. So you have to help yourself. And the best way to help yourself is by reducing your expenses. When you can't get more from your money, you have to ask

less from it. So the best thing that you did, Angela, was to pay off the mortgage on your home. Everyone kept telling me not to do it. Of course, because you want to know why especially financial advisors tell you not to do it? Because when you take that money and you pay off the mortgage on your home, they don't have access to that money to invest for you. So they can't make money off of your hard earned money. That's why they don't want you to do it, Angela. Yeah, I'm one of those people that I disagree with what you said, but I mean, what do you disagree with? Well, it's a couple of reasons. The part about paying off your home? Yeah. And the reason being is, is I'd rather take that money, which I'm doing now and buy other things and invest in other things.

Like, for instance, I bought a school, and the return on that school alone is profit. It's $32,000 a month profit that I use instead of paying off my loan. And then from that, I buy something else that continues to bring me monthly income. I agree, totally. But what's the number one goal of money? Don't pay taxes. No. I'm just kidding.

To be secure. To be secure, correct. To be secure. What made her feel secure is to pay off the mortgage on her home. The more secure she feels, the more powerful she is. Oh, her own feeling. The more powerful she is, and that's what matters in life. All that matters in life is your own inner power.

Okay. Right? And so the more powerful she is, the more everything's attracted to her and the more money she will make. So really, Envy, I'm totally in line with you there. But especially for women. Women don't like to speculate. Women want to be safe, sound, and secure. And if that's what they want to do, that's what they need to do. Absolutely.

You got it. All right, we got more with Suzy Orman. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with Suzy Orman.

Charlamagne? So if people never truly retire, what is retirement? Retirement is living your life and doing that which you want. Right? It's you, like, all right, I'm essentially retired. At 65, I retired. I closed down the Suzy Orman show. I stopped, you know, appearing on, writing for Oprah.

I stopped everything. And I now live on a private island. And I fish most of the day. You do the work you want to do. And I do the work I want to do. And you put out a book. Right? And you put out a book. You put, I have a podcast, by the day. You do the work you want to do. And I do the work I want to do. And when I walk, right, and you put out a book,

you put, I have a podcast, by the way, my Women in Money podcast, and the men smart enough to listen, is so hot I can't even stand it. I'm not a boring financial money girl, right? I'm sexy, I'm hot, and I'm good. And the point

is that... Somebody would love to be your ex-husband with no prenup. Well, I got a wife right there, sitting right there. Do you know, I've never been with a man my whole life. Really? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, my whole life.

I popped out knowing exactly who I was and what I was. There you go, from day one. From day one. Do you have a prenup? No, I don't have a prenup. That's not scary to you? No, because when I met KT when I was 50, and KT was a seriously wealthy woman at the time that I met her.

And to this day, we've never joined money. My money is my money. Her money is her money. Upon my death, I leave it all to her and vice versa. But after so many crappy relationships, and even when I had one before that, I didn't know how to draw it up correctly. Who pays when you go out to dinner? That's a great question.

It's normally KT. I have a rule. My rule is if I'm out with somebody that's richer than me, I let them pay because it's disrespectful for me to reach for my wallet. Yeah, well, that's a good rule, right? And when you're usually out with somebody who's richer than you, they normally want to be the ones who play. Right? But KT, she's the one who always carries the credit cards and everything.

I like KT because she also volunteered for you to do some free stuff with me. You betcha. Yeah, KT was like, why don't we do this? And I was like, sure. So you're having a threesome? That's my girl. Oh, my God. She doesn't charge for threesomes, by the way.

No, but we were talking about some other things because next month is Women's History Month and you were just talking about your podcast and we were talking about financial abuse. Abuse. I started this podcast because of financial abuse. That was the main reason I started it. I had interviewed seven women.

And you can see that interview on the hotline.org, which is the National Domestic Abuse Hotline, which I'm on their advisory board. And they were all women who had survived serious domestic abuse. Horrible. And every one of them I'm talking to. And it all started in the same way. Their patterns were identical and it all started with financial abuse. And I said to them, so you're financially abused? And they go, what is that? Nobody knew what I was talking about. And then I decided something was wrong here because one out of four women in the United States of America are

financially abused. And once somebody has control over you financially, it turns from financial abuse to emotional abuse to physical abuse and good luck ever getting out of it. Listen, I love this book more than this first book I've written in nine years. And I love this book more than anything in life, especially for those who are 50, 60, 70 and older. And if you're younger than that, don't go buy in this book unless you want to give it to your parents because that, don't go buying this book unless you want to give it to your parents because it's not for you. However, maybe you want to give it to your parents or maybe you want to listen to it. So you have till midnight tonight to go to Suzy Orman Audio. That's suzeaudio.com and you can register there and you can get a free download

the entire time I tell you stories that aren't in the book. This, it's fabulous. You'll have 30 days to listen to it because I know you're just going to download it probably and not go back to it. I'm going to give you 30 days after you've done this today to actually sit your booty down and listen to the advice in this. And it's free. Give them the website again. It's Suzy, S-U-Z-E Orman, O-R-M-A-N, audio, A-U-D-I-O dot com. Question. Do finances play a role in who you choose to vote for? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like who's going to do what for the economy type stuff? I'll tell you what. Yes, of course. And here's the problem, everybody. You've got to vote for somebody who cares about people that aren't just white. And and I don't even know now who to vote for. I mean, I'm totally confused. I mean, obviously, I'm going to vote Democrat. I'd be dead before I voted for a Republican at this point, being that the Republican is Trump, I would just kill myself, right, before I did that.

But I'm so confused now because it's like they're all hating one another. And I hate that. You don't want Trump to win. You just don't. Because let me tell you, if you're a kid and you have student loan debt, he has cut the budget so dramatically for student loans that the one future of this country, which lies in our children and their ability to go to school and get an education, he's sticking it to them in the rear end.

And if he wins again and if we lose the Senate and we lose the House, they're going to pass that. Absolutely. They're going to pass that. So if you care about the future of America, if you care about your kids, if you care about them being able to graduate at all a university, you better know where you're voting for. I do a whole podcast on this. Big time breaking it down. If you're being honest with yourself, you got a little conservative in you.

You got a little liberal. Yeah, of course. Right. Listen, I'm a capitalist. I don't have a problem with that. I love making money. And I give millions of dollars away all the time. All the time.

And I love that I'm able to do that. That's right. I love that. You know, on my death and KT's death, 95% of my estate, and it is a substantial estate, goes to charity. Goes to charity goes to charity all right so there's this great charity called uh see the god world llc yeah no you know write them in didn't i get an email from you guys a while ago no seriously oh it's probably for change for change was that change for change and i wrote a check every year thank, Suzy. Thank you, Suzy. We appreciate that. That went to a good cause. That even went to,

it must have been, let me see, Brandon Marshall Mental Health Foundation. No, no, this year it was... This year it was, oh, the HBCU. It was Thurgood Marshall. And is that your favorite charity? We do a different one every year. What's your favorite charity? Anything mental health related. Alright, I'll send you a check for $10,000

to the one you named. Why not? I could. You know what? Black Men Heal. There's an organization called Black Men Heal, and what they do is they provide free therapy for black men in the Philadelphia area. All right, fine.

You make sure I have the place to do it, and I'll send you a check tomorrow. R to Roger P. Henson's Foundation. All right, let's think about this. No, we don't get it. I'm going to have to know for real. No, but really, you decide. But that's what having the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation. No, we don't get it. I'm going to have to know for real. But really, you just saw. But that's what having money. Oh, goosebumps again.

So that means if we just did the right thing, right? That's what money allows you to do. Absolutely. So stop, Bernie, with this thing about Bloomberg that he's a billionaire. So whatever. There's only one thing that he said that I really didn't like. Who's that? Bloomberg.

Right? When he said the other day, he said, yeah, I have a lot of money and I worked hard for it. Boyfriend, you don't even know what working hard means. None of us do when you think about the three and four jobs that single mothers have to go out and do 23 hours a day to take care of their kids. They have to sleep on the floor, and they're all sharing a two-bedroom apartment. Are you kidding me? That's right.

That's hard. Because it's not only are you working, but you're not getting ahead. Well, Susie, we appreciate you for joining us. Yeah, we know you have to go, but you've got to come more often. Absolutely. Hey, I've got to tell you, I was surprised that, like, the PR person's out there, and she'll tell you the truth.

I said, they really want me back? Of course. What do you mean? All the time. Because you know, your audience, I knew the book was 50 plus. I know that's really not your audience. And I'm like, and I don't like to talk to an audience about something that they can't use. I don't want to brag, but Breakfast Club

18 to 24 were like top three and 25, 54. Alright, so you download that book, 54. All right. So, yeah. So you download that book, everybody. You buy that book, everybody. But most important, rather than ever, you listen to my Women and Money podcast and the men smart enough to listen. Yeah. You got to come back because I had a million more questions.

So we got to do this more often. All right, sweethearts. All right. All right. It's Susie Orman. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. The Rumor Report on The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, I'm sure you guys have seen that Nicki Minaj has been in Trinidad and her native Trinidad and Tobago. You know, it was Carnival.

And she visited the St. Jude's Home for Girls. And here's what she announced. So I want to thank you for your work with the girls. I want to thank you for giving them hope and inspiration. And they've even given me hope and inspiration being here today. And I want to donate $25,000 to help the girls. That's dope. I came to get ideas.

And you guys gave me a lot of great ideas on creating a building here in Trinidad where young people can go to and have recreational fun. That is dope. Yes, so that's amazing. Shout out to Nicki Minaj for that. Got to go home and help out the people. All right, so Dr. Oz versus Mark Wahlberg. You guys remember they were having a back and forth about whether or not you should skip breakfast.

Correct. And then there was a push-up challenge that was done. Now, according to Dr. Oz, you should skip breakfast. And Mark Wahlberg says you should eat. Right. So they had a challenge. This is so unfair. And here's what happened at the end of it.

All right. Just first workout with Mark and Mario Lopez. The whole team's here. What was the most impressive thing about the workout? With the work today, of course. That you didn't fall out of your portable defibrillator that you got in your backpack. Okay, so.

But, you know, Dr. Oz hung in there. I will say that. If you take a look at it, they decided on a race to 60 push-ups, right? At first it was 59 for Dr. Oz's ace, but then they decided 60. And Mark Wahlberg won by just a few seconds. No, he didn't. Mark Wahlberg won by just a few seconds. No, he didn't.

Mark Wahlberg won by a whole lot, not by a couple of seconds. No, he didn't. But I respect it. I mean, they got a huge age difference and Mark works out every day. That's what I said. It makes sense. Mark works out every day and this is what he does. So it makes sense.

Well, Dr. Oz felt pretty good about his workout. Shout out to Dr. Oz. He was looking pretty sweaty after that. He said, I can't feel my body, but all worth it to bring Mark Wahlberg over to Team No Breakfast, even if just for a day. And all he did was 59 push-ups. He didn't do anything else. And he was that sweaty. He couldn't feel his body for 59 push-ups. Dr. Oz got to come to jail.

I can't even do 59 push-ups, by the way. He tried, man. Dr. Oz is 59 years old. What do you want him to do? He did assisted push-ups. Go ahead, Yee. Alright, sir. You're not on the mic. Relax. Alright. Congratulations to Drake. His Top Boy series was

renewed on Netflix. He posted We Back with a photo of the Top Boy scripts. Also, let's talk about Lil Baby. He has a new album out today. I know y'all love Lil Baby, right? Yep. And he also explained in an interview that he did recently about why he doesn't have any

tattoos. He said he never foresaw himself as a rapper. He said, a big dope, a big dog dope boy. That's it. Not even just a dope boy. That's why I ain't got no tattoos because I always knew I was going to run my money up and I was going to have to go sit in front of some people to do something with my money. And I didn't want them to look at me like a dope boy.

And he also says that he is trying to rap less about drugs. He said, because I done rapped about drugs that I don't even take. People think I take them and then people take them thinking I take them like popping perks. I don't pop perks, period. Every now and then I used to take a half of one, but I say it in my raps because I might pop one, and that's what's going on. So here is a little snippet of Little Baby, Emotionally Scarred.

A love letter came through the mail, it said I miss you. I ripped it up and flipped you the tissue, tried to forget you. I ain't got nothing against you, we human, we all got issues. But I'm tired of being tired of being tired. That's part of me that died. I see it, then I don't act like I'm blind. I'm confident it won't be one of mine No emotions come with lies

So I tell the truth all the time And got no sympathy for no I admit that I'm rich and I'm lit Jumping up on stages I get too on other occasions But I ain't really the game What we make Shut they trap down

Shout out to Lil Baby I want to hear his new project I know it's out today So shout out to Lil Baby Congratulations on another project Yes and by the way Did y'all see Speaking speaking of new music, Pretty Ricky, they had released this new single called Body. And did you know minutes after they put that song out, they said it was the number one

trending topic worldwide on Twitter. And it was top 10 on the Apple Music charts. Did you hear it? Nope. Envy, you might have to start playing this in the mix. Because people think this song is amazing. I can watch you spread, girl. Oh, nah, nah, nah. Close my eyes and I swear I can hear it. Listen to me through your body.

Was he in my room last night? Was he talking about me and my wife last night? Oh, I was like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I like describing what happened in my bedroom last night. I thought you just meant, was he in your room? No, no. Was he watching me and my wife last night?

That's what it looked like. That's what it sounded like. Are you into that? All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. And that was a great rumor to end with. Goodness gracious. All right.

Shout out to Revolt. We'll see you guys on Monday. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. And don't forget, CIAA North Carolina. We will be out there this week. And, of course, we do our Breakfast Club Day Party. And I will be out there today. So many different spots.

So hit me up on Instagram to see where we're going to be at. But let's get into the mix. Today, we're going to start off with some LL Cool J. I posted a workout me and LL did like maybe 10 years ago where I threw up a couple of times. Me and him were in the gym working out. So I posted that. So I'm going to play some LL. And then tomorrow is Ja Rule's birthday.

Okay. He was born on a leap year, so he celebrates this year. He doesn't get to celebrate too often. Yeah, he doesn't get to celebrate. So we're going to play some Ja Rule in the mix as well. So we throw it back on a Friday. Let me know what you want to hear.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, it's Black History Month. It's the last day that we're celebrating because tomorrow we're not here.

Yep. So, who we repping? Gotta celebrate our guy, Nipsey Hussle, man. RIP to our guy, friend to the room. Nipsey Hussle hasn't been dead a year yet, but he represents, you know, the new symbol of do-for-self. You know, the same thing that Marcus Garvey, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad stood for. Nipsey represents

for a new generation. And he's truly showed us that life is indeed a marathon. The Breakfast Club presents a new Black History Month legend. The actual brand, the name of the brand obviously is the marathon. And it just stands for endurance. It stands for staying down. It stands for like not quitting, accepting the ups and downs of whatever game you commit yourself to and riding it out. You feel me? Because, you know, that's the reality of, you know, success or greatness that it come with a roller coaster ride, you know? So I think that anybody could apply the marathon concept to what they do. If it's sports, if it's fashion, if it's

music, if it's hustling, whatever. You're on a marathon. So to make that the basis of our fashion line, I look at it like we honor the people that ain't quit. We honor the people that stay down. And that was another

new Black History Month legend, courtesy of The Breakfast Club. Definitely rest in peace, Nipsey Hussle. Absolutely, man. All right. Now, when we come back, we got your positive note. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

It comes from Booker T. Washington. I think this is a great way to end Black History Month. It's a simple quote, three words. Character is power. Breakfast club, bitches! Y'all finished or y'all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own?

I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.
