Starting point is 00:04:53 hometown, right? So let me tell you about hometown. Hometown is where it's down to like four girls, four women, and he has to go to their hometown and he meets their parents. But because of COVID, he couldn't go to their hometown, so they came to him. So he got to meet their parents. So could you imagine, you know, you got a daughter. She's dating this guy for a couple of months and she's talking about marriage and you got

Starting point is 00:05:20 I'm excited. I love that show. Yo, you remember when Denzel was sitting at the table with Hoyt in training day and he told Hoyt to tell him a story and then Hoyt told him that lame ass story so he told him reach in his pockets and pay for the meal. Pay for his breakfast. That's how I feel this morning. Okay. I thought you were about to tell me something
Starting point is 00:05:35 nice. I'm some goddamn bachelor. You don't watch The Bachelor. Alright well how was everybody else's night? I had a good night last night. What about you, E? Anything fun? Was it, could you top Envy? Bet you can't top the Brassler.
Starting point is 00:05:50 No, but you can. You can. He's not a top. Come on now, E. Clearly. Yesterday, you know, I've been dealing with my house that I bought in Brooklyn. So I was dealing with that. But I was really, I've been distracted yesterday all day just dealing with this break-in that happened at the juice bar.
Starting point is 00:06:06 I've been talking to like all these different police officers. So I think they apprehended the person. So yeah, so now I feel much better. But when I tell you so many different people calling me, different precincts in Queens and Brooklyn, and then I've been sending this video because we have video footage of the person
Starting point is 00:06:22 but they recovered our Uber Eats tablet. Right. The person was breaking into another location in Queens and had it on him. Yeah. Well, I mean the video of the person, did they say who the person was or what his condition was? Not yet. Because he seemed like he needed some help.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Because he's breaking into multiple businesses? Yeah. I mean just the way he looked, the way he was walking, he didn't look healthy. That's what I i'm saying he looked like he needed some type of help exactly yeah but i was reading about what's been happening in new york they said because so many businesses are closed a lot of people are also going into those empty businesses and going through the wall and breaking into open businesses that are next door too that's another thing that's been happening. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:05 That and these brothers out here is high tech now. I don't know if you know, but if they're trying to rob you, they're trying to get you what they're doing now, they put this little device on your car so they can see when you're home. They ain't been doing that. That's years old. What are you talking about? Did you know that, Juggles?
Starting point is 00:07:18 I did not know that. Yes, we had a conversation here about checking our cars in the parking lot. Well, remember, they did that to Safari, but I didn't know if people really knew that but they're still doing that a lot that's how they know if you're home they can see on the tracking device that you're not home and that's how they know to break into your house hey man if you can figure all that out you can get a job that's what i said i can figure all that out man just go get a goddamn job or start a app or something you can figure something else out if you can do all that. Geesh. Let's start the show. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Front page news. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about legalize it. You guys live in New Jersey, so there's some big news for you there. All right. We'll get into all that when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:07:57 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where are we starting, Ying? Well, Joe Biden has announced some changes in the loan program that's aimed at supposedly helping small and minority-owned businesses. And, you know, this looks like something good because we talked about this Paycheck Protection Program ever since COVID started. It's supposed to help with federal assistance for these businesses. But unfortunately, many of those businesses did not get the money. Now, these changes are supposed to facilitate loans for contractors, for self-employed people, for non-citizens who are lawful U.S. residents and business owners
Starting point is 00:08:34 with previous non-fraud convictions. So they also said there will be a 14-day window starting March 9th for businesses with fewer than 20 employees to apply for relief. Here's what he said. On Wednesday, the Small Business Administration is going to establish a 14-day exclusive PPP loan application period for businesses and nonprofits with fewer than 20 employees. Small Business Administration will also remove barriers that have stopped many businesses from being able to apply for these loans. We're making it so that a student loan default or a non-fraud related criminal record does not prohibit someone from applying for the program. We're also making it easy for those one person businesses to secure forgivable PPP loans. I mean, PPP loans are like most things in America, though.
Starting point is 00:09:29 It gets the black business businesses last if it gets the black businesses at all. Well, the problem is a lot of people don't know how to properly file. That's the problem. Most people who have small businesses don't have a huge accounting team. You can't have people file for you. So if you don't file the right way, the proper way, you won't get the get the loan yeah a lot of people did try to do it and didn't get that money and so this is supposed to help specifically minority women and veteran-owned businesses and people in rural areas and it's true we saw a lot of these huge companies you know got in front of the line
Starting point is 00:09:59 got all this money and then what happened to the smaller businesses that were suffering and see that's the problem because a lot of times when they use that minority language, it goes to white women. You know what I mean? It goes to the poor whites. They usually end up getting that relief first. You said minority white women. When they say minority, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:17 It goes to white women. That's like minority and women-owned businesses because they say minorities and then they also say women. And those women will be white most of the time. They said at least 400,000 small businesses have closed permanently. And so that has been an awful situation. You can see it, I'm sure, no matter where you live. You see a lot of businesses that have shut down.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Even when they say the thing about socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, that usually means poor whites. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Get it off your chest, mama. Okay, so one, I wanted to say, y'all need to stop letting y'all kids play on Call of Duty, okay?
Starting point is 00:14:12 They're emotionally unintelligent and they don't know how to lose and they cuss damn much. Yes, they're playing with somebody and he kept saying, hit him with that Mac 30. Look, that Mac 30. What the hell is a Mac 30? Stop letting y'all kids play online with real people. You need to play with the robots like the rest of the kids. That Mac 30.

Starting point is 00:14:26 You need to play with the robots like the rest of the kids. They're bad. What are you doing playing Call of Duty? That's the way they socially interact with each other nowadays. No, no, no. See, the online is for adults.
Starting point is 00:14:37 You put your kids on the box because I can't be called an MF by some kids who don't know how to lose. I feel you. But you on there. I don't even know what a Mac 30 is either. That must be a new gun. My gun's stopping.
Starting point is 00:14:47 You know that's your nephew because you know you're the only one up there that be acting like he a gangster. It's too damn bald to get in my drawers. Don't do it. What? What? All right. Did she say something about getting in her drawers?

Starting point is 00:15:11 What's up, Moon? Put your pants up. Yeah, you said that, yo. Charlotte, man, not today, dog. I got some exclusive information, so I was calling because y'all was just talking about the PPP program. Yes, sir. So the way that you get it,
Starting point is 00:15:25 you have to file as a sole proprietor, right? So the way that you do that is you have to fill out a Schedule C form. When you fill that form out, you have the option of saying that your income was cash. Now, this is not telling y'all to go out there and scam the government. Sounds like a scam to me.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Is this all true, though, when you fill out these forms? No, because with the Schedule C form, they're not looking for perfection. They're looking to see if you deserve a loan. They're not looking for perfection on that particular document. So when you fill that form out and then you go to get the PPP loan, they're going to ask you to upload that document. So don't don't put nothing crazy on it or anything like that. But the reason is they won't go for your actual credit. They won't. They won't go. It's not illegal to me.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Definitely sound illegal. It sounds like you from Philly and you're not a dream chaser. You're a dream scammer. That's what this sounds like. I didn't personally get the loan because I didn't apply for it. I didn't get the loan because I started my business this year. If you started your business anywhere after February 15th, 2017.
Starting point is 00:16:35 If you would have got the loan, I could have listened to you, but you didn't even get one. Because I have someone that teaches people how to get the loan and the lady only asked. I don't want to put her on blast. She's on Clubhouse. I don't want to put her on blast.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Gosh. But she's on Clubhouse already. I can't. Yeah. I can't, man. She's on Clubhouse. That is a reliable source. Okay?
Starting point is 00:16:59 What's wrong with y'all? Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent vent hit us up now we got rumors on the way yes and let's talk about Megan Thee Stallion somebody was just

Starting point is 00:20:50 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Is Bobby Smyrna home yet? That is my question. Do we know? I have no idea. I see they all on the jet. We don't know yet, but we know.
Starting point is 00:21:04 But we know Quavo said he was picking him up. Yeah, Quavo said he's flying there to pick him up. I want to know, is Bobby Schmert at home yet? I think Quavo's already here. I saw Quavo giving Roddy Revel a bunch of money on social media. I've seen that. Alright, well let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Megan Thee Stallion.
Starting point is 00:21:19 It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Megan Thee Stallion and Maxine Waters had a conversation for Harper's Bazaar online. And one of the things that they talked about was the song WAP. They told me to look at that.
Starting point is 00:21:43 It was a WAP. And I did. Don't worry. Don't worry. Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. Here's what I said. Now that's audacity. And that is the ability for women to take charge of what they want to say. Because I had paid attention to the young, you know, gangster rap time when time when you know men were in charge they say whatever they wanted to say but women you know didn't say for a long time uh what they could
Starting point is 00:22:12 say or wanted to say or dared to say okay okay very important to note that WAP is the latest evolution of women expressing their sexual desires though Maxine is an OG she should know that you can't forget about Salt-N-Pepa and TLC and Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown and Trina and Gangsta Bull, Missy Elliott, you know, Kaya, Nicki Minaj. Like, you know, a lot of women that express their sexual desires.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Now, Megan Thee Stallion also was talking about protecting Black women. And why is that so hard to do? They feel like it's controversial. And all I'm saying is protect Black women. And now people are taking it like it's i'm saying something crazy so just to be supported by another black woman who you know sends the same message i feel like you know what i am doing the right thing and i'm gonna keep doing it because maxine water said i can that's right that's social media saying that though. Social media is not real life. I promise you majority of the opinions on social media hold no real weight in the real world because we know protect black women is the model.
Starting point is 00:23:13 All right. Now, Quest Love, after having a very successful documentary that actually was at the Sundance Film Festival, he has announced that he has his second feature film coming. And that feature film will be on Sly Stone. So that should be really exciting. And you guys, if you don't know who Sly Stone, Sly and the Family Stone is, you know, they had that song and you always hear it on commercials, hot fun in the summertime. And he's a super creative person. I think a lot of R&B and soulful artists have kind of modeled and fashioned themselves after him. I know D'Angelo used to study Sly Stone before he would perform and just see how he actually did his work. They had great songs, dance to the music, everyday people, all of that.
Starting point is 00:23:59 So now he's doing a documentary on Sly Stone. So I think that'll be really dope. Family Affair. That's the record everybody would know. It's a family affair. It's a family affair. And they had that song. I want to thank you for letting me be myself.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Don't forget about loose booty. How'd that go? You know her loose booty? That'll go. All right. Never mind. All right. My daddy owned the club.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Okay. How's it going? I didn't ask you how it go. Sing it. Sing it. All right. And my daddy owned the club. Okay. How's it going? How about go sing it? Sing it. No, but it's Google. You can Google. All right.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Fred, the Godson has gotten a street named after him in the Bronx. So it's official. Congratulations. As his friends and family were celebrating his first posthumous birthday after releasing his latest album, Ascension. So it's a nine song tape with no features and now he has a street named after him so that's pretty dope he did
Starting point is 00:24:51 pass away last year in april due to complications with covet 19 dropping the clues bombs with fred the godson rest in peace all right and nelly has found a buyer for his house you know he has that abandoned house that was in st louis He had listed it for six hundred thousand dollars. And just a few days later, somebody bought it. There's no plumbing. There's no flooring. There's a lot of renovations left to be done. It's a nice property. It's a mansion out there. But I mean, I hit Nelly because it looked like the comps were great. It looks like the properties in that area look like they were pretty good. I had him to see if he wanted to sell it, but he didn't hit me back. Somebody bought it. He bought that house back in 2002 for $2 million. He was planning to flip it, but it's just been sitting there for the past 20 years. Yeah, it was on the market for $600,000 last week.
Starting point is 00:25:39 How much will it cost to renovate? A lot. It's huge. I would say about $150,000 to $150,000. Really? Interesting. No, it's going to cost more than that. Also, if you do a mansion like that, wouldn't you want to do top-notch renovations?
Starting point is 00:25:54 There's no plumbing. There's no flooring. Plumbing and flooring is not that expensive. Yeah, but don't you have to buy flooring? Don't you have to buy?

Hardwood flooring is not that expensive. It's been sitting there for 20 years.

You need to come to one of my classes, man, where you get construction loans and you don't have to use your money to fix these properties up.

I kind of agree. All right. Well, we got front page news next week. What are we talking about? What's wrong with you?
Starting point is 00:28:10 Get yourself together. All right, you guys good? We are going to talk about, I know they've legalized recreational marijuana in New Jersey. That's right. We're going to talk more about that. That's right. It feels appropriate. It does. I did have an edible late last night. I'm not going to lie. It feels appropriate. It does.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I did have an edible late last night. I'm not going to lie. I'm thinking something is going wrong right now. I don't know what it is. My goodness. It clearly is not going off. Or maybe I went to sleep and I didn't get the high, but I woke up with it. I'll be okay, though.
Starting point is 00:28:40 All right. Front page, who's next? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where we starting, Yee?
Starting point is 00:28:52 Well, it's official. New Jersey has become the latest state to permit recreational marijuana use. They approved a series of bills yesterday that regulates the sale of cannabis to anybody over the age of 21. Good job, Governor Murphy, dropping the clues bombs for Governor Murphy. Now, but when are they letting the brothers and sisters out of jail who are locked up for nonviolent weed offenses? If that doesn't happen ASAP, then this is one of the most hypocritical pieces of legislation ever passed. Yeah, it definitely needs to. And I think that's something federally that needs to take place, too. But I actually thought that was the holdup. I thought that they were trying to and i think that's uh something federally that needs to take place too
Starting point is 00:29:25 but i actually thought that was the holdup i thought that they were trying to figure all of that out that's what they said they were trying to figure that out and also uh as far as the licenses are concerned making sure that minorities get the licenses since we've been affected one of the most yeah well the legislation does further provide for them to uh reinvest cannabis revenues in designated impact zones. And it also directs the Cannabis Regulatory Commission to promote diversity and inclusion in business ownership. And it contains critical employment protections for people who engage in lawful behavior with respect to cannabis. So that was in the official news release.
Starting point is 00:30:00 And listen, once again, you know, if they don't, you know, let the brothers and sisters out of jail who are locked up for nonviolent weed offenses, this is absolutely one of the most hypocritical pieces of legislation ever passed. And it's got to be a bittersweet celebration because that's just wrong. You got people in jail for life in New Jersey, but weed is legalized. All right. Now, Spotify is planning to monetize podcasts now they're launching a new audio advertising marketplace the spotify audience network which will allow advertisers to reach listeners across spotify's originals and exclusives as well as podcasts via megaphone and their creation tool anchor so now uh there's going to be ads and that way people can make money if they have a
Starting point is 00:30:46 podcast that's on the Spotify network they haven't been monetizing they haven't been monetizing on Spotify I think for the creators it'll help you as far they're going to have a paid advertising thing so now I guess it's going to they haven't launched it yet
Starting point is 00:31:01 but they're going to they haven't been doing paid advertisements on Spotify? I thought they've been doing that. I don't know. Yeah, I think you're going to have to pay for certain podcasts now, from what I'm understanding. Yeah, I think podcasts behind the paywall is whack anyway, though. I don't think that's how podcasts are supposed to be digested.
Starting point is 00:31:20 It's like radio, right? It's like satellite radio is cool, but terrestrial radio will always reign supreme over satellite radio because it's free. That's why I feel like podcasts shouldn't be behind a paywall. Yeah, but you don't pay for commercials on satellite radio, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:36 But that's the purpose. You pay a monthly subscription so you don't have to pay for commercials. You can just hear your music straight through. Yeah, but why pay for radio? Because some people don't want to hear the commercials. Terrestrial radio will always reign supreme, simply because... Because think about it, when Howard Stern left when he went to Sirius, the reason why he got the
Starting point is 00:31:52 money that he got was because it's paid subscription. Absolutely. I just don't think stuff looks a lot... Everything shouldn't be behind a paywall. And I think this kind of content should not be behind a paywall. Podcasts are radio. My personal opinion. Yeah, I mean I think you just have to be uh have an audience that's willing to pay yeah i think so if you got that audience i don't see
Starting point is 00:32:10 nothing wrong with it you monetize it just have you ain't got to pay for advertisement you keep everything to yourself i think that's fine actually all right now uh let's talk about a 75 remember that 75 year old protester that was shoved to the ground by police in Buffalo? When that happened, and he actually ended up suffering a fractured skull. This happened on June 4th. It looked awful. Martin Gugino is his name. Well, those officers in Buffalo, they did file charges against those two police officers, but a grand jury earlier this month declined charges.
Starting point is 00:32:42 The case was dismissed. I don't see how. I knew that. That was a couple weeks ago. When they pushed Homie on the floor and he did absolutely nothing? Yeah, they announced he wasn't pressing no charges. That's crazy. So that tells you a lot.
Starting point is 00:32:54 If a 75-year-old white man gets pushed to the ground and nothing happens to the police, what does that say for the rest of us? We in trouble. Yeah, they said that those officers were simply following departmental procedures and the directives of their superiors to clear Niagara Square despite working under extremely challenging circumstances. That was their rationale for why that was okay. So even though this man suffered a concussion and a fractured skull, spent nearly a month in the hospital, apparently these officers did nothing wrong.
Starting point is 00:33:24 All right. Well, that is your front page news all right thank you miss ye now uh let's talk about young thug young thug yesterday posted on the social media that he was in vegas and he lost eight hundred thousand dollars in the casino man vegas just won eight hundred thousand for me man now he said he wild out out he threw drinks and everything so we're asking 800-585-1051 gambling

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club, good morning. Now if you just joined us, we're talking about Young Thug. Now Young Thug, he was on his Instagram and talking about when he was in Vegas.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Man, Vegas just won $800,000 for me, man. Bam! Yup, he lost $800,000. So we're asking, what's the most you ever lost gambling? Me, myself, I don't gamble. I'm not a gambler. And if I do go gambling with my wife, I make it seem like it's an event. Meaning, if I was going to take my wife out for dinner and a movie, if I would have spent $400,000, that's all I'm gambling.
Starting point is 00:35:38 If I lose that $400,000, it's gone. I don't go further than that. And $400,000, if I lose that, I'm crying. But if I win $5,200, I walk i walk away like i'm not a gambler i'll never get 10 000 gambling because i don't spend that much to gamble i just rather put it in other things that's me personally no the biggest i enjoy gambling yeah the biggest gamble i take is when um i dabble in ice cream because i know i'm lactose intolerant that's about it biggest risk i take well I love to gamble and so I've learned a trick and my trick is that when I'm gambling,
Starting point is 00:36:08 if I'm up, whatever I put in, I put that money, I put those chips in my pocket and then whatever else I have after that, I feel free to gamble with that and if I lose it, it's fine. At least I walk away even but I'm not dipping into my pocket to take the money that I've won back out.
Starting point is 00:36:24 And the most I've ever won, I've won $6,000 playing blackjack and I won 2,400 on the slots. That's the most I've ever won. But I try not to lose. I never bet that high. I just, I just won't. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:36:36 Nope. I'd rather use that. But you don't have to bet that high. That's what I'm saying. All you do is take the money that you're winning. As you're winning, I'll put one chip in my pocket. Like say I put up $200,
Starting point is 00:36:44 right? I'll put a $25 chip in my pocket once I'm up and I'm back at that, like, say I have $225, then I keep on gambling. If I lose, I'm out. But if I keep on going up, probably $400. Alright, well, let's go to the phone line. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:37:00 Yeah, this your boy Sterling Stack. I'm calling from Columbia, South Carolina. Sterling! What's up, brother? What's up, King? What's going on, my brother? I hope y'all know each other. I ain't heard from you in forever, man. Yeah, we still around. We still around, man.
Starting point is 00:37:12 You know, everything's good. Yes, sir. So what's the most you ever lost, bro? Man, listen. The first time I went to the casino, I went to Biloxi, the grand casino. I spent $100, and I won maybe like 10 grand. So this will be my new occupation now right so i take my girl back two weeks later my cousin i get everybody room i go
Starting point is 00:37:32 down there and i lose about four or five grand with that like that's how they get you this is gonna be my new occupation you know but they got me yo yeah and that's the thing when you win a little bit you feel so confident, and then you start calculating in your head, I only put up $100,000 and I won $10,000. Imagine if I would have put up $1,000, I would have had a... Exactly. When I tell you it was so bad, they got me off the table when I was
Starting point is 00:37:56 down, and we went to eat breakfast. I told them I had to go to the bathroom. I ran back downstairs to the blackjack table, lost every dollar in my pocket. I had to call somebody to break in my crib, move a few things around for me at a discount and send me money just so I could get everybody home.
Starting point is 00:38:12 That is a shame. As soon as you start going to the ATM and doing all that and putting your card down at the table, it's over. No. It was bad, Angela. It was bad, man. It was bad. But you know, but I went to Vegas two years ago and I hit a lick. So, you know, it's always a comeback. All right.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Hold on to that. That's the problem with gambling, man. You gamble until you don't have nothing left. You're supposed to gamble until you're up and then leave. That's how you do it. Hello, who's this? Yeah, this is Orlando. Orlando, what's up, man?
Starting point is 00:38:39 What's the most you ever lost, man, gambling? Man, I lost $2,500. That hurts.

Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:07 So I won a couple of times that I really didn't know what I was doing. I was trying to analyze the horse and you see what horse was fastest in the last race and what horse to train is good. I try to do all that, but I ain't know what I was doing. You lost. I won that time. You probably saw me because I was the number one handicapper there. And me and my boy
Starting point is 00:39:26 we used to go there all we stay going there yeah I used to go there all the time I didn't know what I was doing but it was just fun to see people cheering and stuff but you the number one handicapper there see my last name is Gamble so that's what I did

Starting point is 00:50:23 And if I ever like I'm going out with my chopper, it'd be another Kobe. All right. And we had a whole discussion about this up here on The Breakfast Club. I said, I'm sure Vanessa Bryant has. She's been very vocal about how she feels about people even posting tributes to Kobe Bryant at this time. So it did feel insensitive because she's been vocal about it. She has her daughters, you know, who also are seeing all this, and I'm sure they're aware and listen to Meek Mill.
Starting point is 00:50:47 So she posted, Dear Meek Mill, I find this line to be extremely insensitive and disrespectful, period. I am not familiar with your music, but I believe you can do better than this. If you are a fan, fine. There's a better way to show your admiration for my husband. This lacks respect and tact. And that's how she felt about it. Well, nothing to say if Vanessa is offended.
Starting point is 00:51:05 If Vanessa is offended, the only thing you can do is apologize if you meet Mill, right? Mm-hmm. Right. So then, I don't know if this was just bad timing, but he posted on Twitter, I'm going back savage in this ish. F your feelings. I don't think we are on the same signal, y'all. I don't see what y'all see.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I be looking at the net laughing like I did what? I say random ish all day on social. It becomes a trend to hate on me every once in a while. I feed off that ish I'm a beast literally I'ma stay on this 100m chase to feed the kids I'm a dip from the crowd and stay in the VIP and then he said I apologize to her in private earlier today not to the public nothing I say on my page directed to an internet viral moment or the family of a grieving woman. If you care about someone grieving, change the subject. Now, that's a long-ass tweet, first of all. Well, it's a few different tweets.
Starting point is 00:51:49 No, it's a few different ones. Well, let's go back to what you said initially. So, after Vanessa tweeted that, he tweeted out, I'm going back savage mode, F your feelings? Yeah, but we don't know if that was necessarily towards that. Hit Homer Simpson. Hit Homer Simpson. We don't know if that was necessarily... Hit Homer Simpson.
Starting point is 00:52:02 No! Towards that. Come on, Meek. Come on. I refuse to believe Meek is that close. He might not have seen that at the time. He might have been still going at 6'9". Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to shoot Meek some bell.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Meek's emotional IQ got to be way higher than that. I refuse to believe he saw what Vanessa Bryant said. No way. And then tweeted that. I don't believe that. Can't even be a possibility. You know how some comics got great comedic timing? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Meek is the opposite of that. Meek just pops in at the wrong time and we end up laughing at him instead of, you know. Yeah, that was towards 6'9 and some other street stuff. There was no way. I refuse. No way. I refuse.
Starting point is 00:52:32 But I do feel in this particular situation, Vanessa Bryant's been very vocal, even saying, I don't want, please don't post anything from the accident, even not wanting anybody from the NBA to do tributes this year, just because she said it just hurts too much. So I kind of feel like mentioning his name.
Starting point is 00:52:49 We should know that's going to not be good either. Yeah, we knew it was going to come. We knew it was going to hurt her feelings, I'm sure. But, you know, so many rappers have done things like that before. And they play wordplay and it sounds dope because they think it's wordplay. But they don't realize who they affect. I think we're also forgetting one important thing. What's that? The song wasn't supposed to come out.
Starting point is 00:53:09 And Meek did record the song and I have it on very reliable sources that he was told don't put the record out. The record wasn't supposed to come out. It was leaked. So let's be clear on that too as well. Right. I would have probably just said that then. And I also feel like publicly people heard this and it made
Starting point is 00:53:26 the rounds. So why not just say I want to apologize. The song wasn't supposed to come out. Well, I thought he did say I just think that's a simple.
Starting point is 00:53:34 That's just a simple thing. I thought he did say it was leaked. I think he did say it was leaked. All right. Now, Barack Obama
Starting point is 00:53:40 is doing a podcast with Bruce Springsteen. That's a Spotify exclusive original podcast. That feels like a weird pairing to me, but it's called Renegades Born in the USA. It's an eight episode podcast. And here is the trailer. On the surface, Bruce and I don't have a lot in common.
Starting point is 00:53:56 He's a white guy from a small town in Jersey. I'm a black guy of mixed race, born in Hawaii. He's a rock and roll icon. I'm not as cool. In our own ways, Bruce and I have been on parallel journeys, looking for a way to connect our own individual searches for meaning, truth, and community with the larger story of America. And over the course of a few days, all just a few miles from where he grew up,
Starting point is 00:54:24 we talked. It doesn't excite me. Not sold. Not sold. Sorry, guys. Not sold. It's not sold. I thought it was just me.
Starting point is 00:54:33 It's not exciting. Just simply not sold. Not for me. The boss in Barack. Nah. Not sold. I'm sorry, guys. Not for me.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Maybe I'm hating. It's not sold. They'll be talking about their hometowns their role models modern manhood and the divided state of america today how we can all move forward together now they did have a stream on event yesterday so other news from that they announced a multi-year um deal with the creators of avengers infinity war and avengers endgame so they'll be doing that uh they also launched a podcast from abridu bernet focused on social change and cases of police brutality. A few different things that they announced.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Like we said earlier, they're also testing the ability for podcasters to earn revenue through paid subscriptions for fan-only content on the platform. Now that Marvel stuff you mentioned, and I know you said Ava's doing like a documentary, stuff like that I'll pay for. I'll pay for like scripted audio content.
Starting point is 00:55:25 You know what I mean? Stuff that's like movies and TV shows, things of that nature. But just regular podcasts, no. They also did a Warner Brothers DC deal for original podcast that'll include stories about characters like Superman, Lois Lane, Wonder Woman, Joker, Catwoman. The Riddler, Batgirl, Harley Quinn. I would never pay for DC. DC's trash trash i'm a marvel guy what is this everybody that you just named i might pay for joker and harley quinn i like joker and harley quinn all right lionel richie has a new bet well not new he's been dating this girl since 2014 but

I like to have a word with him. I did take an edible last night, but it was only because I couldn't sleep.

Donkey of the Day is up next. Because I fell asleep. Touchy feeling. I don't know what's wrong with you this morning. But I ain't touch you. No, you touch your animals. But that's a lie. Donkey of the Day is up next. It's the Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 00:58:25 The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Yes. Donkey of the day for Tuesday, February 23rd goes to 29-year-old Eric Spencer of Brooklyn, New York. Okay, let me tell you something. I am convinced, totally sold, on the fact that humans of a certain demographic have no idea between what's criminal and what's not criminal And it's all social media's fault social media has created such a false sense of reality. It's such a virtual world
Starting point is 00:58:54 Where feelings are facts forget what actually is it's all about how a person feels so if a person feels Like they want to let everyone know about something illegal they did they just do it because they feel like it you know it's no consequences to their actions and why and why why should they you know feel like there's consequences to their actions social media every day is like the wild wild west there's so much criminal activity happening on social media that i could easily see why people would think it's okay to show the things that they do okay but guys and gals newsflash the fbi uses social media for investigations okay they absolutely use social media posts to help identify and track down suspects yes you can't be online with a bunch of drugs you can't be online waving guns and threatening people trust me the fbi facebook
Starting point is 00:59:40 and instagram are just sitting around plotting on your dumbass and that's what happened with Eric Spencer Do y'all remember weeks ago when you saw a bunch of brothers robbing a Soho? Soho channel store was it called Chanel? Yeah, there you go. So whole channel. Yeah But remember when they did that in broad daylight? Yes Now if you're like me and you see the word Chanel and it translates to channel then you act in your wage See, I don't go chasing Chanel I stick to the Puma sweatsuits and goodella t-shirts from Target that I'm used to.
Starting point is 01:00:08 So when I saw this crime, not only did I think it was just ridiculous that they were doing this in broad daylight, I said to myself, who are they selling this stuff to? At a time like this, during this pandemic, you're going to steal channel bags and then take them around people who don't have any disposable income to buy them? I don't get it. But it's not for me to understand because I'm not a criminal.
Starting point is 01:00:27 But Eric Spencer was indeed one of those guys in that channel store. What's it called? Chanel. Yeah. Well, Uncle Charlotte, how did he get caught? Hmm. I wonder. Let's go to ABC7 New York for the report, please.
Starting point is 01:00:39 The ringleader of a brazen robbery at the Chanel store in Soho in Manhattan earlier this month has been arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Prosecutors say 29-year-old Eric Spencer of Brooklyn, one of four men who burst into the store while it was open on February 2nd, grabbed nearly $190,000 worth of goods. Spencer allegedly brandished a gun during the heist. Prosecutors say the next day he bragged on social media that he could open a small boutique with what was stolen. Three other suspects still on the loose. A hundred and ninety thousand dollars
Starting point is 01:01:10 worth of channel products. Chanel. You couldn't help yourself, huh, Eric? You know what's interesting? Even if there is no code in the streets anymore and nobody is teaching these kids how to move, what happened to learning from movies? You can watch American Gangsta one time, once, and realize why Frank Lucas shouldn't have wore that floor-length chinchilla coat, that fur coat, and that fur hat, okay?
Starting point is 01:01:32 It cost him his whole operation. Kids, if you don't have OGs around, you know, who are telling you not to bring that kind of attention to yourself, then listen to the movies. Denzel Washington, American Gangster, listen. What is that you got on? What's what, man? What you got on? It's what man? What you got on? That's a very very very nice suit. That's a very very very nice suit.
Starting point is 01:01:49 That's a clown suit. That's a costume with a big sign on it that says arrest me. You understand? You're too loud. You're making too much noise. Look at me. The loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room. I told you that.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Y'all dying for attention? Getting arrested for attention? What about good fellas? The guys did a big score. All they had to do was lay low. De Niro told them don't buy anything. I told you that. Y'all dying for attention. Getting arrested for attention. What about good fellas? The guys did a big score. All they had to do was lay low. De Niro told them, don't buy anything. Listen.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Don't they say not to go buy anything for a while? Yeah, but it's a wedding gift. It's for my mother. It's under her name. I just got married. You stupid. We got a million bulls out there. Everybody's watching us.
Starting point is 01:02:22 You get a car. They're telling me I'm excited? Under my mother's name. What are you getting excited for? What am I getting excited about? Because you're going to get us all pinched that's why what are you stupid i'm sorry what did i tell you what did i tell you you don't buy anything you hear me don't buy anything basically what both those fictional gangsters are saying is attention is the worst drug known to man and social media is your drug of choice now let's update all of that for this era what eric spencer did damn i started to say the equivalent of wearing the fur coat front row to the fight you know i started to say it's the equivalent of buying something after hitting a big
Starting point is 01:02:55 illegal lick but in fact it's worse because cops can only assume you was doing something you had no business doing when you you know looked apart when you looked rich, but when you actually on social media with the items you stole from the channel store and you online saying and I quote, so many double C items that he could open a small boutique. Now what does that mean?
Starting point is 01:03:18 Rich Negro Envy? What does double C mean? That's the logo, Chanel logo. CC. I thought that's when you get ass shots. Cece? Never mind. Listen, man. As much as I hate to see black men getting locked up,
Starting point is 01:03:31 it's like y'all really be earning your charges. In life, you get what you deserve, and you get it because you deserve it. And the fact that Eric has 32 prior arrests, including 15 felonies, I don't think he will be seeing freedom anytime soon. And it's his fault. I don't even know what to tell you youngins anymore. Because you don't know the difference between right and wrong. You don't know the difference between good and evil.
Starting point is 01:03:50 You don't know the difference between crime or no crime. I would say this is a teachable moment, but y'all ain't going to learn. Niggas going to neg. Please give Eric Spencer the biggest hee-haw. And it's Coco, she knows. It's the CC. I'm going to tell you what happened. I didn't hear the end of it.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Can we play Guess What Race It Is? You know good and well what race it is. All right. Listen, I'm going to tell you something, though. The reason this dude got caught is because Envy didn't do 12 Days of Christmas this year. If Envy would have did 12 Days of Christmas this year with Gia, he'd have bought all them channel bags. They shut down. He'd have bought
Starting point is 01:04:28 all them hot channel bags. Okay. All right. But I don't buy stolen property. Anymore, right? No, anymore. I don't buy
Starting point is 01:04:35 stolen property anymore. Okay, I'm glad you said the anymore. No, seriously. Why not, though? Bad karma. True. Bad karma.
Starting point is 01:04:43 True. I feel like if I buy something stolen, then you open up the gates for somebody to come and rob me. That's a good. True. I feel like if I buy something stolen, then you open up the gates for somebody to come and rob me. That's a good point. So I don't buy anything stolen.
Starting point is 01:04:50 But if it's stolen from a store, now if it's stolen from a person, that's different. But if it's stolen from a store, Brand new tagline.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Yeah, that's a little different. What's the difference? Whose karma is it? The store's still losing. I don't own a store. If I don't own a store, I don't have to worry about that kind of karma. Babe, if you're listening, he got a point.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Babe, if you're listening, he got a point. Because if it don't come from a person and it come from a store, store got insurance. That's what I'm saying. And that bag probably only cost $200 to make and they sell it for $5,000. Now listen. Babe, if you're listening, he got a point, babe. I'm not encouraging stealing at all. We're just having a hypothetical conversation
Starting point is 01:05:27 about if you buy stolen goods. If you buy stolen goods, if you buy them from somebody that stole from an actual person, I think that's bad karma. If they stole from a store, eh, I don't own a store. Eh.
Starting point is 01:05:43 You're getting nervous. Because it sounded good now. It sounded good now. How many other people ran up in that channel store as Charlamagne was saying? Was it three other people? You want to go to the channel store right now. You want that herpes discount.
Starting point is 01:05:58 What's it called? Not herpes. It's Hermes, man. Yeah, there you go. Nah, we don't buy no stolen products, man. Right. And despite the pandemic, by the way, I was reading about how Hermes bags are still
Starting point is 01:06:06 Those Birkin bags are still flying During this time Who would know to call that Hermes? I see that and I see Herms Hermes, just the name of it Alright, well thank you for that donkey today Up next We have Malcolm X's daughter Joining us

How are you today? Pretty good. How about you?
Starting point is 01:10:11 Bless black and highly favored. Every time I see you, you glowing. Like, just glowing. Aura on a thousand. Okay. Well, maybe that's living right. There you go. Absolutely. Well, we obviously are here today to talk about your young adult novel, The Awakening of Malcolm X. And there's been a lot of new developments also just, you know, as of late. I saw this letter that was released from Ray Wood, the officer, FBI agent that went undercover that actually framed and was responsible for Malcolm X working in conjunction to get him assassinated. So what were your thoughts when you saw that?
Starting point is 01:10:48 Well, Angela, I can say that I'm just as curious as you are uncovering the truth. We always wanted to know what the truth was surrounding my father's assassination. We know that he posed a great danger. And so we're, you know, we're just as curious as you are to uncovering the truth. Absolutely. You know, I love- It must still be difficult to hear all these things coming up too, because that's your dad. For a lot of us, he's a hero and he's such a great figure to us, but for you, that's your father. So I know it's not easy to have to hear these things coming back up over and over again. Well, I think whatever you do in the dark always
Starting point is 01:11:30 comes to light. And, you know, immediately I think of my mother and I think, you know, of this woman who had her home firebombed on the evening of Valentine's Day as she lay asleep with her husband, that a bomb would be thrown into the nursery where her babies were, my sisters and I slept. And then that a week later, she would witness the horrific assassination of her husband. And in spite of all of those challenges, you know, she raised her six daughters with just so much love in a very small bubble and made sure that we understood who our father was, who her husband was, so that we didn't grow up feeling that our father left us, but we knew that he loved us and would be proud of any kinds of accomplishments we were making.
Starting point is 01:12:25 And if we didn't do something right, she would say your father would be disappointed. So, you know, I always take my hat off to this woman. She continually gave and she instilled the values that just as one must drink water, one must give back. And, you know, so for my mother, a young woman in her twenties to experience that, for me, you know, that is probably the most difficult part. And so, yes, we are very curious and definitely want to uncover
Starting point is 01:12:55 the truth. I was reading that you were saying that your mom didn't really speak much about the things that he did, and you had to get a lot of that knowledge from his autobiography is that true my mother focused on instilling love and making sure our identity was intact so that when we would leave uh her you know under her wing that we would be able to navigate through society's um injustices and so we didn't learn about the icon, Malcolm X, because then you had to introduce hate. And if my mother was, you know, a witness to the brutality, the surveillance, you know, all of the challenges that her husband and she endured, certainly she wanted to protect her babies. And of course, even to witness his assassination. You know, there's a picture of my mother. She was a registered nurse at the time with my father with all these bullet holes
Starting point is 01:13:52 in his chest and she's undoing his tie, you know, to help. I could only imagine how traumatic that had to have been. So my mother focused on love, kindness, joy, all the things that my father wanted for any oppressed people to have, you know, the opportunity to know that they're worthy of love, self-love and, you know, respect for our humanity. You know, Queen El Yasha, you know, on the anniversary of his death, how do you feel? How do you mourn? Well, you know, it's not really easy, but, you know, I continue in the tradition of what my mother always did. And my mother always had, you know, we always had a memorial celebration. It was
Starting point is 01:14:40 a celebration of life for our father. And it was at Abyssinian Baptist Church for a very long time. And then, you know, now we have it at the Shabbat Center. So, you know, we continue in that tradition. And fortunately, because of this pandemic and virtual programming, we had people from all around the world. And so that's, you know, a great opportunity to fellowship in that way. You know, I love the idea of a young adult novel, The Awakening of Malcolm X, which is which is spotlighting Malcolm's formative adolescent years in prison. Because I think it's very important to really dive into that, that that whole process of who Malcolm was, because I often say this generation wouldn't let malcolm little become malcolm x because of this whole cancel culture thing so what can this
Starting point is 01:15:30 generation learn from your father's adolescent years in prison well first of all that you know i wanted to make sure that my father's story was accurate that his father was the chapter president of the marcus garvey movement the Negro Improvement Association in the 1920s, which commanded millions of followers worldwide, that his mother was the recording secretary for this organization, and that his family was targeted, and that his father was lynched by the Black Legion,
Starting point is 01:16:02 which was a splintered group from the KKK, and that his mother was put into an institution. His father purchased land that was reserved for whites only during the height of Jim Crow. And once they lynched his father and put his mother away and separated Malcolm and his siblings, they took the land. And so Malcolm, as a youth, was running from his identity, running from the pains that he experienced during Jim Crow. And when he finally was arrested, his family had the opportunity to encourage him to read again. And one of the things we discover is that Malcolm was always bright, smart. All of these values that we see in Malcolm was mostly because of the foundation that his parents and family provided. And so it speaks to the importance of us smart, forward-thinking adults to be the village for our children when we know they're in pain, when we know that their identity is
Starting point is 01:17:05 questionable. And so while in jail, my father continued to read. He studied the dictionary, not so he can learn how to write. He studied the dictionary because he was a star debater on the debating team of the prison that debated against Ivy League schools. And he studied so he could understand the etymology, the root of words, because he always wanted to be prepared. And, you know, there are so many interesting things about The Awakening of Malcolm X. I had the opportunity to work with Tiffany D. Jackson, who is a phenomenal young adult novelist. And, you education, not after school programs, but on correction facilities. And that since 1970, the incarcerated population has increased by 700%. And this is what's happening to our children. And so each of us has to ask ourselves,
Starting point is 01:18:18 are we going to be a part of the problem by doing nothing and pretending that we don't understand these things? Are we going to be a part of the problem by doing nothing and pretending that we don't understand these things are we going to be a part of the solution by rolling up our sleeves and demanding change all right we have more with ilyasa shabazz when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still talking with malcolm x's daughter ilyasa Shabazz. Charlamagne? You know, even though the book is historical fiction, do you see parallels to today's current events? Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:18:50 And that was really the purpose of this book because, you know, the same systemic issues are here. The same, I mean, it's all, nothing has changed and it's not going to change until we do something. You know, we have to learn to control our own narrative. And we can't sit back and just think that someone's going to do something for us. My father said only a fool would sit back and allow his enemy to teach his children. If we want change, we have to be willing to do the work ourselves.
Starting point is 01:19:19 And I think that now there is a multiracial movement that's driving our nation towards a more civilized space because of our young people. That a synthetic identity is being born. Our society is moving forward and bigotry and all its ugly hate is losing. And a new era has yet to define itself. And so we have to, you know, surmise that cheaters lose. Character wins. Mor moral character wins. And that should be a lesson for our young people. What would you advise people to say? Because we talk about change, but, you know, Donald Trump's in office, Joe Biden in his office. Do we see him helping us?
Starting point is 01:19:58 And we say we have to do for ourselves. What would you consider us to do for ourselves? You know, we have to get our collective leaders together. There's not just one leader, but coming together, organizing, strategizing. We see all these dynamic young people. I mean, I watch Angela Rye and Brittany Packnett and many of the Congressional Black Caucus members. I think that it's important for us to come together in this collective leadership and organize amongst ourselves to figure out what our strategies are. And that's, you know, a lot of what my father did. In the 1950s, when young people were marching, protesting, demonstrating, my father came along and said, look, we demand our human rights as your brother.
Starting point is 01:20:42 We demand our human rights ordained by God. He was willing to do the work. And look, we all organized to do so. And so it's important for us to first make sure that we understand, you know, these assassinate, all these different divisive tactics, you know, that have continually happened and ensure that they don't happen again, that if there are 8 billion, 600 million people in the world and 80 percent of us are people of color, we should be able to come together and figure out how we can get this boot off our necks. That's right. What does by any means necessary mean to you because i think a
Starting point is 01:21:26 lot of times when people hear that phrase they automatically think wake up with violence on the mind like you know i mean what does that mean to you by any means necessary means that again if we're talking about collective leadership then we have to know that we are worthy of self-love that we are worthy of equality education that we are worthy of self-love, that we are worthy of a quality education, that we are worthy to participate in mainstream society. And so it means that we have to invest in ourselves just as my father did. My father read everything that you could imagine, and he refused to allow anyone to pigeonhole him. And so I would say the same thing for us, that we have to be diligent with the same kinds of examples.
Starting point is 01:22:12 I got a couple more questions before we go, but you mentioned a couple of our strongest voices earlier. You mentioned Brittany Packett and Angela Rye. I wonder why it feels like the sisters are on the front lines and more vocal than the brothers. I would throw Tamika Mallory in there as well. Why do you think that is right now? Well, I think this has been something, this has been historical.
Starting point is 01:22:35 The black woman, we look at, just like you said, the women that you mentioned, or even Stacey Abrams, who delivered almost a million votes to help us win, you know, have this democratic victory. Just think who would be in office right now. But I think it's important to understand that black power is not exclusionary. It simply says that we are going to be at this table. And that is something that we can't forget. My father said that a society is measured by the progress of its women. When you teach a young man, you teach a community. But when you teach a woman, you raise a nation.
Starting point is 01:23:16 And I think that that we have seen such evidence of that. Absolutely. I do want to talk to you about chapter four, too, though, because like, you know, you use one of his quotes with a common goal of 22 million African-Americans is respect as human beings. And we can never get civil rights in America until our human rights are first restored. You know, when you read that quote, how do you think he would view that goal in 2021? Because I always say that now like we fighting for civil liberties, but they don't even respect us as humans.
Starting point is 01:23:49 Well, that's right. And that is one of the reasons why he was assassinated. Ah, you know, he internationalized first, the struggle for black people worldwide. Because remember, in the 1950s, we didn't even know that we were, you know, of the African diaspora, we didn't know that blacks in the 1950s, we didn't even know that we were, you know, of the African diaspora. We didn't know that blacks in the Philippines, blacks in Australia, blacks in China, blacks in the Americas, blacks on the continent, we didn't even know we were all experiencing the same oppression. So he internationalized that struggle for us. So we understood that we came from Africa, we have a
Starting point is 01:24:26 land base, and then introducing a human rights agenda to the civil rights movement so that we could take, you know, be strategic about this and take this, you know, to the Supreme, to the United Nations Supreme Court and challenge those for violating our human rights. Yes, I think that is extremely important. When we look at the Constitution, when we look at all of these documents that were created, you know, we'll see that, you know, we weren't included as human beings, that we were just property. And so we have to uh correct history and again that is addressing our education curriculum and uh you know yeah when the awakening of malcolm x a novel is out right now by il yasha shabazz yes amazing read though i really did
Starting point is 01:25:21 enjoy reading that i was like um i think for a lot of kids in school or even like somebody my age, you know, it was a great read. And listen, you know, every time I hear myself on the radio or doing some kind of interview, I sound like I'm so I'm just being so passionate. And in retrospect, I always say that I want to, you know, tone it down. But it's difficult to tone it down when we look at these, you know, horrific conditions that we are forced to live. And I just hope that all of our young people, you know, remain strong, remain focused, that you don't look at these or don't fall for these divisive tactics because at the end of the day they you know they are just that they're divisive and they prevent us from accomplishing our goals and it is extremely important with all of those great people that we have all those shoulders that we stand upon that we are able you know to to win that's right well thank you for joining us so much man and we appreciate you and everything that you're doing shoulders that we stand upon that we are able, you know, to, to win. That's right.
Starting point is 01:26:27 Well, thank you for joining us so much, man. And we appreciate you and everything that you're doing and pick up her book right now. And thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Let's get to the room. Somebody's home. The rumor report. Let's get to the rumors. Somebody's home. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip.
Starting point is 01:26:46 The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. What are you doing, Envy? Ah, ah, ah.
Starting point is 01:26:57 Bobby Shmurda is officially out of jail. Pay is in the middle. I know there were a lot of false alarms for months and people were saying he was about to get out and we were like, okay, let's wait till he's really home, but he is officially out of jail. So congratulations to Bobby Schmurda. Everybody's excited. We've seen the footage of them in the private jet
Starting point is 01:27:16 going and then we saw him on FaceTime, so now he's out of jail. Happy for that, brother, and I hope he gets rewarded for him doing what they say people should do in that situation. He didn't he didn't snitch. Nope. Right.
Starting point is 01:27:28 He did his time like a G. So I want to see how hip hop street culture rewards him for that. I wonder if he's still signed to Epic Records or did they release him when he got locked up? Because I'm sure whoever when he gets home, he's going to have a big bag. Some labels will be offering him a lot of money to do a deal. And I hope he gets all that money. 100%. All right.
Starting point is 01:27:50 All right. Well, welcome home, Bobby Shmurda. Now, let's talk about this high school football player. He was talking trash to Cam Newton. That video went viral. You're a free agent. You're a free agent. You're about to be pulled. I'm rich. You're about to be pulled. I'm rich. You're about to be pulled. I'm rich. You're a free agent. You're a free agent. You're about to be pulled.
Starting point is 01:28:05 I'm rich. You're about to be pulled. I'm rich. You're about to be pulled. I'm rich. You're a free agent. You're a free agent. I'm rich.
Starting point is 01:28:10 You're a free agent. I'm rich. You're a free agent. You're a free agent. Let me talk to your dad. Let me talk to your dad. I don't know what you mean. It wasn't funny.
Starting point is 01:28:18 It was hilarious. That's not funny. That's not funny. It was hilarious. That's not funny. Okay. You had that man's camp, man. That man put on a camp to teach you young men how to play football and to better yourselves.
Starting point is 01:28:28 And you talking about, you about to be broke. I felt sorry for Cam because I was that child. Okay. And the child still exists within me. I don't care how much money you got. I don't care who you are. You're going to get these bars. Okay.
Starting point is 01:28:39 And Cam hit him with the wrong comeback. That rich, I'm rich bit, that don't work on a human who's securing himself at all. He went the right route. Where's your daddy at? But what if I ain't got no daddy? You trying to play me? You know what I'm saying? That's why a young boy turned up for you.
Starting point is 01:28:54 That football player did apologize. You know I ain't got no damn daddy. Where's your uncle? I don't know. Seth Owens apologized. He said, first and foremost, I want to express my deepest apologies to Cam Newton, my entire organization, my coaches for my actions at the tournament this past week. And I did not intend for it to get as far as it did.
Starting point is 01:29:09 First, I would like to start off by saying my parents never taught me to be disrespectful to people. As a football player, I let my competitive side get the best of me. And it was a huge miscommunication. So he said that he realizes a lot of people took it as disrespect. I never meant to humiliate and let anyone down. And he said he's very appreciative for even being allowed to be a part of that community. What Cam should have said to him was, look, young King, you're here at my camp because you want to be in the positions that I've been in.
Starting point is 01:29:34 Yes, I'm a free agent now, but don't forget, I forgot more than you've ever learned. Okay, I'm a Heisman Trophy winner. I got a national championship. I was the number one pick. I won an MVP in the NFL, and I went to a Super Bowl. On top of all that, I'm rich. You're here because you want to accomplish a quarter championship. I was the number one pick. I won an MVP in the NFL. And I went to a Super Bowl. On top of all that, I'm rich. You're here because you want to accomplish a quarter of what I have. But you're about to be unsigned now. But you're about to be unsigned now. That don't take away nothing I've done.
Starting point is 01:29:53 You ain't got no team now. That don't take away nothing I've done. I know y'all pretending to argue like that. And you're here because you want to accomplish a quarter of what I have. And guess what? You will if you shut the F up and listen. But watch the videotape. You see how nice I get.
