Had a great time. Amazing. I was out in Atlanta on Friday and in Houston Saturday and Sunday. And on the way back, my flight got delayed. So I took it back to what, like two, three years ago? I used to sleep here. So my flight got in about 1, 1.30. Made no sense to drive all the way home. So I slept at the station last night. Yeah, my flight was delayed yesterday too.

What was going on? Was it a storm or something? Yeah, there's weather like on the way because I'm actually in Detroit. My flight to Detroit was actually delayed. But I had my wholesale day, a private label yesterday. So, you know, I got a store out here and selling hair. I actually have on my headband wig today. So I'm going to start wearing these to the studio.

It's so easy. It takes like one minute to put on. It looks like my hair is done. Okay. Okay. If y'all need one, let me know. I'm good. I was in Nashville this weekend, a.k.a. White People's good. I was in Nashville this weekend, aka White People's Atlanta.

Drop on the Clues Bonds for Nashville. White People's Atlanta. Nashville is definitely White People's Atlanta. You know, that's where the National Museum of African American Music is. Oh, for real? I need to move it to Atlanta then. Yeah, I had a great time. Nashville was great.

My guy Bobby Bones, Bobby Bones got married this weekend. Shout out to Bobby Bones. Yeah, salute to Bobby Bones and Caitlin Parker, the married this weekend. Shout out to Bobby Bones. Salute to Bobby Bones and Caitlin Parker. The newly wedged. I love weddings, man. I love, love. Weddings are just all about love and unity and when you go there, you can just

feel that energy. So when you, with your significant other, it just reinforces why y'all did what y'all did. It's just a beautiful thing. Did you cry? He's a kid, so you cry? A little bit. He's a cancer. He died.

A little bit. My eyes watered up a little bit. He's a cancer. You know what I'm saying? Especially when Bobby came out and they brought their dogs down the aisle because their dogs were in the wedding. You know what I mean? That's what made you cry, their dogs?

And I know how much the dogs mean to them. And then I saw, like, Bobby, like, they gave their own vows. When you give your own vows, that just hits different, man. So wait a minute. I can tell. So Bobby was trying to give. Why? I never heard nobody Britain that did.

Dogs walked on out. I'm sure it's been some black people who bought some pit bulls to their wedding before. I don't know. People loved their dogs. How many black people were at the wedding? Oh, I wasn't paying no attention. I don't know. Black bulls got a lot of black friends, what you mean?

Yeah, Bobby's. And I'm just saying, you kept talking about how Nashville's so white. Oh, I don't have no attention. I don't know. I've always got a lot of black friends. What do you mean? Yeah, Bobby's... And I'm just saying, you kept talking about how Nashville's so white. Oh, I don't have nothing to do with the wedding. That's just Nashville. You should have said how many dogs walk down the aisle now. Have you ever been to Nashville?

I walked out a couple blocks to go get some food. I had no idea that you get to a certain part of Nashville and it's like a block where it's just a bunch of bars. Yeah, with a lot of live music. That's right. I just went there for the first time to the museum.

A lot of party buses, you know, women in cowboy boots listening to Young Jockets going down, you know, listening to Nelly, what was that Nelly song

I kept hearing? Ain't nobody butting on the ride. No, no, no, no. It was like Hot in Here or something like that. Really? Yeah, Nashville's

a beautiful city. Okay. Beautiful city, but it's definitely white people's Atlanta. All right, now I figured out that our office back there, we have to change. It can't be a storage room anymore.

I know I got mad stuff back there, but when I tried to pull the bed out in the back, it was so much stuff I couldn't even get the bed out. That ain't for you no more. Well, that sounds like your fault if you're using it as a storage room. I know. It's his fault if he's using that as a bed at this point in his life. It's me and Charlamagne's storage room right now. Goodness gracious.

All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about the Olympics. You know, they are starting on Friday, that's 23rd, and there's already some COVID issues. All right, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. All right, now in sports, the USA men's team beat Spain. This is their final exhibition game. They won 83-76. Now, their first real game is July 25th versus France.

And also, the Bucs beat the Suns. Great game. 123-119. Boy, that was a good game. That was a great game. The 8-4-3 zone. Chris Middleton is one game away from winning an NBA championship, okay? And Giannis.

I like Giannis, too, man. I don't be understanding the conversation when people be like, Giannis don't have no skills. How does a man that you can't stop have no skills? No, he gets busy. I don't get it. You know, it's a tough one because I want Chris Paul to get a ring, but I also want Giannis to get a ring. So it's a tough one. Not for me.

No, you don't want Chris Paul, though? Yeah, if Chris Paul wins, that'll be great. But if the Bucs win, too, that'll be great. I love Milwaukee. That's a great city. First city me. You don't want Chris Paul, though? Yeah, if Chris Paul wins, that'll be great. But if the Bucs win, too, that'll be great. I love Milwaukee. That's a great city. First city to ever syndicate the Breakfast Club. I'm sure I've told y'all that a million times before. I think so.

What else you got, Yee? All right, well, the Olympics are kicking off on Friday, July 23rd. And you know there's a lot of opposition because of the pandemic, and the numbers are back up. And so Olympic Village already has their first COVID case. They said a staffer tested positive Friday. They added the person is not a resident of Japan. Their job was described as games concern personnel.

So there have been protesters rallying outside the village, demanding the games not go on as planned. The poll showed that less than half the Japanese population support the games being held at this time. They said about 80% of Olympic athletes are vaccinated. The concern is that less than 30% of Japan's population is vaccinated. The person who tested positive has been placed on a 14-day quarantine and six British athletes and two staff members are self-isolating after coming into close contact with that individual who did test positive. Also, Tokyo, in Tokyo, Toyota has said that they will not be airing TV commercials in Japan

related to the Olympics, and neither the carmaker's president nor other top execs will be attending the opening ceremony later this week. The announcement was just recently made by the biggest sponsor of the Olympics, the top sponsors, and it was yet another blow to the competition.

And so everything kicks off Friday with Tokyo under a state of emergency because of that recent rise in COVID cases. Yeah, that's a tough one, man. I don't know. But it does feel like not great timing, and the numbers are going back up. And as you can see, it's already hit Olympic Village. Now, they also have these cardboard beds at the Olympics that's designed to be anti-sex.

Okay, so these beds, they're going to be like boxes. If you have a chance to see what they look like, if you have Revolts, I'm sure they have a picture of it. And so they're made out of cardboard. Who the hell's sleeping in the cardboard beds? It's for the athletes. There's no way that they got to call

athletes sleeping in cardboard beds. The athletes got to be able to perform. The athletes got to be well-rested. They got to call athletes sleeping in cardboard beds. The athletes got to be able to perform. The athletes got to be well rested. They would not put them athletes in cardboard beds. Definitely not the USA athletes. There's no way. I can't see it. Right.

And apparently they don't want people to have sex. So that's kind of what the rumor is. They're kind of anti-sex beds. They also aren't going to be handing out condoms. There used to be a tradition where they would hand out condoms all the time. But now they said that the condoms aren't supposed to well i don't know i i think they are giving them out but they're saying they're not supposed to be used but you're supposed to bring them back to your home country i know

people love sex and they'll get it in anywhere but you should not be uh having sex on no cardboard unless you're homeless and have absolutely nothing else to do. I mean, it is a bed, but, you know, the frames, I guess, are... Made out of cardboard. Yeah. The frames? It's still a bed. Yeah, the way it's sitting, it's like on cardboard. And not one piece of cardboard.

It's like four pieces of cardboard that makes a big box. So is it a mattress? It is a mattress. On top of that? Yes, a mattress on top of that. So the cardboard is the box spring? Yes. Hard as hell.

And they're not letting those athletes sleep in that. I refuse. I refuse to believe that. 18,000 people. Man, they not letting those athletes sleep in that. I refuse. I refuse to believe that. 18,000 people. That's what they're going to be sleeping on. 18,000 people? By the way, people have sex anywhere. Yeah, but not there.

I don't think that's going to dissuade anybody. How do I get ready if I got a meet or something that day and I've been sleeping on a cardboard bed all night? I don't believe that. I need more to this story. Well, there's a mattress on top of it, but I guess the pressure of up, down, up, down. I don't know how y'all do it, but maybe the beds will fall apart. I don't know. I would

think not. Alright, well, that is your front page news. Alright, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,

learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.

Hey, boo. Trav, peace, sis. How you? I'm doing good. I'm doing good. You know, yesterday was my birthday. Happy birthday! Happy birthday, gang gang cancers. One time for the birthday, bitch. The cancer gang gang.

One time for the birthday, bitch. Have it up if it's your birthday Trev Listen I want to talk about something that's been on my chest For like two weeks now While I was on vacation And Diddy Had put up this post Diddy's been on your chest?

He had 15 roaches Crawling on his face? I saw that. I just want to say that I live in a roach-infested apartment, right? And I ain't never woke up to no 15 roaches

crawling on my face. So did he got to stop the chat? He was lying. Y'all got to stop being ridiculous. Y'all act like we as black people don't exaggerate everything. They exaggerated the roaches. You know good and damn well he had roaches on his face. You didn't have roaches on you before?

I didn't know. When I figured out I was probably going to go to a factory, and I ain't never woke up to that one roach on my face, I would have died. So you ain't never woke up with a roach on your body at all? I mean, none of my face. Oh. I'm sure he had a roach or two on his face, but he ain't had no 15. Does it matter?

Why do y'all care? I care, dang. And the roaches in Harlem are different than the roaches from Philly, bro. They're not as big? I don't know. I'm just wanting to say that. And he was just exaggerating. He was just trying to tell y'all he came from nothing at the end of the day. Your face do got to be bad big to have 15 roaches on it.

You know what? Y'all missing a point in this story. Y'all ain't sure. Hey, Ghostface is my favorite rapper of all time. Ghostface said there were roaches everywhere. In the cereal box. And in the cereal box. Nobody questioning ghosts.

Well, there do be roaches in the cereal box if you leave the cereal box open. And there do be roaches everywhere. Not 15 on your face, though. I agree with Trav. I don't know. Goodbye, Trav, man. We need a picture. We need evidence.

It's more of a bar, but it's like it's a little bit of space. But I did it last Saturday in Hollywood, and it was kind of tight, and they didn't do the mask mandate yet. You know what I'm saying? Alright, brother. Well, thank you for checking in. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051

if you need to vent. Hit us up right now. Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, and of course, we have to start it off with giving our condolences to Biz Markie's family and friends after he passed over the weekend, according to reports. And so we'll give you more information. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. Well, a rest in peace to Biz Markie. He has lost his fight with type 2 diabetes on Friday. He was 57 years old. He passed away at a hospital in Baltimore, Maryland,

after a year of ongoing health complications. Usually his wife does not speak out, but she did post on Instagram. She said, a good heart stopped beating this evening, and I was there for the last one. Biz fought to the end like the true legend he is. Biz passed his strength to me during his transition. While holding his hand, he knows I'll need it to carry on the rest of my life without him.

Rest King Biz. How old was Biz? 57. 57 used to seem like a big number when I was a kid, but now that I'm 43 and I know thriving 80-plus and 90-plus-year-olds who are still moving around out here living life, you realize how young 57 is. So sending the family of Biz Markie healing energy. That was a great brother right there. Now, Biz was up here, right? Nah, Biz never been up here.

He never was? Nah, he just used to hit me in, I don't know's never been on a show. He just used to hit me in, I don't know if he used to hit you, but he used to hit me in Envy all the time. Yeah, all the time. We had so many conversations, I could have sworn he was talking about the Teletubbies and all that.

Nah, he's never been up here. That's crazy. All right, well, LL Cool J did break down on social media as he discussed this. Rest in power to Bismarck, my friend. We have so many memories, man. He was in the basement of my grandmother's house when uh i wrote rock the bells um used to always hang out back in the days and

be running around queens long island i'm glad we got to do what we got to do towards the end some of the things we got to do man love you bro hey, bro. Yeah. Yes, and of course, Mike D also had posted a whole statement. He said, we are so grateful to have had so many unforgettable experiences

with the truly unique and ridiculously talented Biz Markie. We will miss his presence deeply in so many ways. And he told some stories about Biz Markie on his social media page.

He was a complete unique musician. No one else could beatbox making beats and grooves and sounds the way he did when he came out. Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen Biz in a bad mood. Not at all. Like, every time I saw Biz out, it was always, like, beyond love. He was just, like, one of those positive people who just always was happy, always was smiling, always wanted to make folks laugh. And always one of the most fun DJs, too.

It was fun. And Mike D for people that don't know is from the Beastie Boys, correct? Mm-hmm. Okay. All right. Now let's talk about Bill Cosby. And he's been trying to make his return to stand-up. One comedy club we know of has already rejected that and that is a comedy cellar.

So, according to the owner, Noam, he said that his venue is not the slightest bit interested and he doesn't want Bill to even step foot inside his club. And so, according to Bill Cosby's side of things, his team is saying, okay, that's just one club. And in the words of the king of R&B, Bobby Brown,

it's his prerogative to do what he wants to do. So, we shall see what happens as he's making his comeback. And congratulations to Derek Fisher and Gloria Govan. They tied the knot. They officially got married. They had to actually delay their wedding because of the pandemic. So they got engaged back in April of 2018. They dated for three years before that.

They were forced to delay their wedding last April because of the pandemic. But now they are finally married. And they said, according to Gloria Gauvin, she told People magazine, we got engaged in 2018. We eagerly started planning the wedding. But unfortunately, like many, we had to cancel our big day. There were times we thought we should have a Zoom wedding instead of waiting, but quickly realized our families being a part of the big day was important. And our kids who are just as excited as we are.

I love love, man. I really enjoy weddings, okay? Where there is love, there is life. And that energy at a wedding just makes you feel so alive. So I love a good way. And congratulations to Dani Leigh. She has confirmed that she is pregnant. There was a lot of pregnancy rumors going around.

She's been wearing a lot of big baggy jackets and things like that. But now she has finally confirmed that yes, she is indeed pregnant. Who's the pappy? She didn't say, but the rumors are that it's the baby because they were dating and then she was pregnant during that period of time.

So she posted, as you grow, so does my love, discipline, and focus. So congratulations to you. Oh Lord, cue a million the babies, the baby jokes. Oh, Lord. Cue a million Da Babies Da Baby jokes. I'm sure it's been a million of them already. Yeah, yeah. There's definitely been a lot of those already. All right.

And get ready for Kanye West's new album, according to Justin LaVoy. And I've been hearing rumors that this album is supposed to come out this week, the Donda album. But Justin LaVoy took to social media. He said, Kanye played his new album for me and Kevin Durant last night in Vegas. Man, listen, the production is light years ahead of its time and the bars sound like he's broken hungry,

trying to get signed again. Any artists who plan on dropping soon should just push it back respectfully. Then he said, Kanye West's album is really done. When it drops this week, we're probably not going to listen to anything else for a while. Let me go enjoy all the current artists I'm listening to. Until then, God bless. Kanye had Kevin

Durant at seven feet tall dancing while the album was playing. Ish was crazy. Okay, I'm really out this time. It's about to be a Yeezy era. A season only lasts a couple of months. This man changed the sound of music on the project. Kanye wrote all those tweets for Justin LaVoy. Justin ain't tweet all that on his own.

I was kind of confused. I thought Kevin Durant was overseas. That's what I thought. In Tokyo, right? Yeah. I thought. Wasn't exhibition? Oh, that's true.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. I was like, was this an old listening? I didn't even think about that. But then there was pictures posted. They said doors are almost open for Kanye's album listening party in Vegas tonight. So I'm not sure what's going down, but yeah. Justin LaVoy out here getting scoops. Drop on the clues box with Justin LaVoy.

Okay. But I think the album just came out last week. That's what I was told. Well, I don't know. Maybe it's coming out this week. They had a listening party over the weekend. So usually that's ahead of the album, right? Yep.

Kanye saw Justin tweet. He was going to interview with Drake. And Kanye said, ah, ah, come over here, Justin. Listen to this album. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.

Now, front page news, what are we talking about? Yes, there might be another frenzy on the way. We'll tell you what fast food place is preparing for it this time around. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Audible trial at audible.com slash breakfast club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. They just said the reason Kevin Durant was in Vegas is because the exhibition games are actually in Vegas. I guess they play them in Vegas. That makes sense.

Oh, duh. That would make all the sense in the world because Kanye even went to the big three game. Yeah, I saw the big three games in Vegas and then they're in New Orleans. Kanye and Justin Labore. This whole I saw the Big 3 games in Vegas, and then they're in New Orleans. Yeah, Kanye and Justin LaVar. This whole time, I'm thinking they're all in Tokyo. Yeah, I thought the NBA plays them in Tokyo, too. All right, now, speaking of NBA, the Bucs beat the Suns 123-119. What an amazing game.

Yeah, I can't. I mean, it's going to be hard for the Suns to beat the Bucs two times in a row. I don't think that's going to happen. They did it already. I don't think it's going to happen right now. Not in game six and game seven. Another game back in Phoenix and another game in Milwaukee for game seven. I don't see that happening.

What else you got, Yee? All right. And also the NFL will play the Black National Anthem before every game in 2021. They have announced they're going to play Lift Every Voice and Sing. It's part of a $250 million investment towards social justice. They're also going to continue many of the social justice initiatives that they've implemented last season, like messages of anti-racism and unity on helmets in the field

and communicating to fans through signage and public service announcements. It really hurts my heart that I don't know Lift Every Voice and Sing verbatim. It really hurts my heart that I don't have that committed to memory. Do you know the Star Spangled Banner verbatim? Which one is the Star Spangled Banner? Oh, say, can you see? Oh, say, can you see? No, not really.

I know O.P. Say, can you see? It's a long song, by the way. Let heaven ring. Ring with the harmony of liberty. ring ring with the harmony of liberty let our rejoicing

rise what else high as the rising skies well y'all better get it together we gotta practice this you know what I learned

I actually learned it cause of Amanda Seale's stand-up special on HBO's I Be Knowin'. Because she made everybody, she made the crowd sing it. We had to sing it in school every morning. Really? I definitely never sang that in school. I'm from Queens, so we had to sing that every morning.

You know what? We didn't have to sing any of these songs. I thought the Queens national anthem was Holla Holla by Ja Rule. That ain't it? No. Oh. All right. Now, Popeyes is preparing because, you know, they had that last chicken sandwich craze,

but now they are getting ready for these chicken nuggets craze. You know, Popeyes has these chicken nuggets coming out, and so they're a little concerned. They want to make sure that they're prepared this time around for when people are going to come in for the mad rush for these chicken nuggets. Now, is it a chicken shortage or chicken nuggets now? Because we was hearing that it was a chicken shortage all around the world. Now, all of a sudden, they got these chicken nuggets coming.

Which is it? I think the price of chicken has gone up. But they want to avoid the violence that came with the whole chaos with the chicken sandwich. So they said the sandwich release problems are still fresh in their minds. So they're trying to increase staffing to better meet the demand for these new Popeye's chicken sandwich. So they said the sandwich release problems are still fresh in their minds. So they're trying to increase staffing to better meet the demand for these new Popeye's chicken nuggets. I don't think people are going to flip out over them chicken nuggets like they

did the chicken sandwich. I could be wrong, but I don't see it. No, because we still got Chick-fil-A, and I don't know if them nuggets are going to be better than Chick-fil-A. That's what I'm saying. I mean, chicken nuggets is chicken nuggets, okay? No, I'm not going to say that either. What you mean?

I just don't see it. I can't see people. Not how chicken nuggets are like. No, not at all. I understand, you know, what happened with the Popeye's chicken see it. I can't see people... Not how chicken nuggets are like. I understand, you know, what happened with the Popeye's chicken sandwich, but I don't see that happening with the chicken nuggets. I don't think y'all gonna strike lightning twice with that one. Is that the word?

That's not the phrase. Was it strike gold? It's strike something. Y'all ain't gonna strike something something twice. Lightning won't strike twice. There you go. We don't strike lightning. There you go. Alright, now there's a vehicle of interest that's wanted, a gray Toyota with a missing hubcap. After a triple shooting that occurred outside Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., that prompted a halt to Saturday night's baseball game. And a lot of fans were panicking.

They did release photos of the car Sunday on Twitter. They said it is a suspect vehicle, according to the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. They said the shooting was an isolated incident. They believe that it was a shootout between two vehicles. The other vehicle suspected to have been involved was recovered shortly after the shooting. So they said it's an ongoing investigation. They think the incident involved a dispute between two individuals. So as of yesterday, there were no arrests that had been made, but the police are asking for the public to help identify the occupants

of this Toyota Corolla that they said was captured on video. They didn't catch them? Mm-mm. Outside of the stadium? Wasn't they in the parking lot? Yeah, it was outside the stadium. And they didn't catch them? That's crazy.

Yeah, so I don't know, but they are asking for people to help out. And the stadium went into lockdown after some fans were looking for a safe place to hide. I also saw over the weekend there was a shooting at the Galleria in Houston. Yeah, and I was in Houston. I heard that too, though. Yeah, they locked down the mall as well. So everybody be careful out here, okay? And that is your Front Page News.

All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Ari Fletcher. All right. What's the story with Ari Fletcher, Yee? You guys were talking about it, but apparently she had a birthday dinner,

and she was upset that she didn't even get a card from any of her friends who attended the dinner. Yeah, she said she didn't get a card or any birthday gifts. So let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Do you still buy your friends' birthday gifts? I would think the dinner is the birthday gift, right? I'm sure she didn't pay for her own dinner.

I'm sure they put that together for her, right? I understand not even getting a card, though. She's like, I just want to get a card at least. I don't think about no cards. Or having a dinner for him. I would say this. I had my birthday, as y'all know. I did a birthday thing in Austin and my friends flew out

and everybody got me something. And cards and everything. If I have a birthday dinner, I would feel bad going to someone's birthday dinner and not bringing a little present. Or going to someone's house to celebrate with them. But if I text you, I text you happy birthday. That's the other thing too. People want that social media post. That's what they want.

You want that present or that social media post. Which one you want? You want that heartfelt 500 long captioned Instagram post or you want a GIF? And I think it depends on how close you are. Like my best friend from high school, her birthday was yesterday. I'm going to see her next week and I'm definitely getting her a present. That's also

very true. Because I think about the people who I actually buy presents for, they are the closest people to me. Usually just my mama and my daddy and my wife. Nope, my mama and daddy with Jehovah Witnesses keep that same energy. Yeah, you stupid. I didn't get no birthday gift growing up. Y'all shall not get none now.

Love them to death. It's the truth. I grew up Jehovah Witness. We're going to keep that same knock-knock on Saturday morning door energy, okay? So let me ask you a question, right? You used to knock on the door and you would see people close their blinds and close the door and stuff like that? I don't remember. But, yeah, I remember people not answering the door.

But I definitely used to do my field service. I absolutely used to go out and field service. All right. Well, sorry. I just want to say that. Sorry for what? Because I was one of those people that closed the blinds. When I seen them walking up the block, we'd run in the house.

Hey man, y'all go to hell. 800-585-1051. Ari Fletcher's friends didn't buy her birthday gifts or give her a card. Do you still buy your friends birthday gifts? Let's talk about it at in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic.

And we don't know what happened. We know y'all broke up, Khloe. But we see people were going in on Diggy. Like, he cheated on her. And he was hitting up her friends.

All because of Busy Boy. Busy Boy is dedicated to like all the playboys in the world who are like so so so handsome and it's like y'all got a good connection because you know he's met with other women too. So that's what that song is about. Is that a personal? That's the clean version.

We call that dirty. We call that dirty. That's a they call it. That's gracious. In my day. In my day. That's what we used to call them. Taking you back.

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

I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're asking, do you buy your friends birthday gifts? This is based off of Ari Fletcher. Allegedly, she was a little upset that her friends didn't buy her birthday gifts or a birthday card. So we're asking

800-585-1051. I don't. Like I said, unless it's just moms, pops, wife, and the kids. I don't. What about you, Charlamagne? It doesn't bother me so much, but I will say I do think women are different, too. I think women give each other presents more than

guys do. I don't know if that's a fact, but that's how I feel. A lot of my friends do get me presents. And, you know, I do a birthday party every year. And so when I do my birthday party, though, I make sure everything's taken care of. Like nobody has to pay for drinks. I do my bowling party. Everything is free. So a lot of people do come with gifts because they feel like we've been invited to this.

You know, let's give her a present. So I do get a lot of presents on my birthday from my friends. And I don't show up empty-handed if I go to somebody's birthday event. But I will say, if y'all are taking a trip with somebody and paying for a flight and chipping in for the villa

and paying for all the food and stuff, you might just get a card. Yeah, as I'm saying, it depends. You know what I mean? I don't get gifts all the time. And I don't know if I would want a gift as much as I would want the time. Like them coming to my B-Day dinner

to celebrate another year of life for me, that's but I but I do send my close friends things uh my wife is better at that than me but it also depends on what b-day like Amanda Seals just turned 40 you know I mean that's 40 that's a big number so I I sent her something um I give cash to my youngins especially my nieces everybody else gets a heartfelt IG post. Yeah, I hit them with the IG post. But if it's a dinner, I'll pay for the dinner. If we out and about somewhere, I'll buy them a drink or a bottle or something like that.

Send a bottle? Yeah, it just depends. I mean, I don't know what y'all call a gift. Like, yeah, send in some liquor or send in a basket. You know what I mean? But I'm not going to the store and actually purchasing something. It depends on who it is. know it depends on who it is. It just depends on who it is. I can't think of the last time I did that, to be honest with you.

Like I actually went to the store to buy somebody something. I do it all the time. And sometimes when I'm out, if I see something I think one of my friends will like, I'll just buy it for them. Yeah, I do that. I do that, too. I'll do that, too. But anyway, let's go to the phone lines. We have Angie on the line.

Angie, good morning. Angie. Good morning. Now we're talking. Do you still buy your friends' birthday gifts? I have bought my friends' birthday gifts before. And I recently had a birthday in April. And only one of my friends bought me a gift.

So I'm just going to match that to with next year when their birthday comes around. Did you ask why? I didn't ask why. You know, it is what it is. I don't understand why people don't appreciate the time more, especially last year because we were all, you know, in the house with COVID and couldn't be around people. Like, I would appreciate the time more.

The thing was that I threw myself a little get-together at my house. So everybody came to my house. I threw myself to party. And you can't even come with a card or, like, a cupcake, something. What do you do with the card after? You throw the card out. I actually have every card that I've ever gotten since kindergarten. I love cards.

Me too. I have cards from my 316. I have cards from graduation. I love a. Me too. I have cards for my sweet 16. I have cards for graduation. I love a card. Let me tell you something. A good card is... I take a card sometimes over a present. I think it's just nice to keep. I have a whole box filled with all cards. Now, what if you stepped

on what your friends were planning for you? What if your friends were planning you a party, but you jumped out the window and did your own party first, so now they couldn't do nothing? Well, you see... Every time she buys me something, a party, but you jumped out the window and did your own party first, so now they couldn't do nothing. That didn't happen. Every time she buys me something, she's like, you already bought yourself that.

Every time I try to get you something, you already get it for yourself. That's right. I'm like, what do you want me to do? I think we should appreciate... Where Ari's friends are coming from, because, like, I mean, the girls, like, she could get whatever she wants. That is true. That's why you should appreciate

the time and the fellowship more. Hello, who's this? Nicole from Cincinnati. Hey, now, do you still buy your friends birthday gifts? No, I do not. They don't care about them. What you mean? As long as

we spend time together, they do not care i agree with you i think that's the most important thing time and the fellowship and you know the loving on each other and the laughing and joking like that's what i like i like to do stuff like going to do the spa together like okay girl i got us a spa day yes traveling and all of that and then honestly if i was her friend i would be nervous about buying her anything. She has everything already. That's true, too. What am I going to buy you?

That is true, too. Hold on. Like, Ari has everything. That's money back your girlfriend? Yes, yep, yep, yep. Oh, yeah. Ain't no need for her friends to buy her no presents. Money back got that covered.

I mean, do y'all also have those friends that send you pictures? Like, they just send you pictures on their birthday? Send us pictures. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The post, us pictures. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The post. The post. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I definitely have friends that do that.

Yeah, I got a couple that do that. But that's what they want for their born day. I'm not mad at that. You know what I mean? Do they ever say, I want to post it on your main page of your story? No, they just send me the pictures and they say, this is the picture. They be like, yo, this is the pictures I want you to post for your born day. Absolutely.

I got a couple homegirl girls who do that every year. I definitely got a couple that do that. 800-585-1051. Do you still buy your friends birthday gifts? Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club Topic. Come on.

800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. If you just join us, we're talking about Ari Fletcher. Now, she was a little upset at her friends for not buying her birthday gifts this year, not even getting a card. So we're asking, do you still buy your friends birthday gifts?

Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Lala from Hollywood. Lala, you got money, so you buying your friends gifts. Like I was saying earlier, growing up, my father stopped giving us birthday cakes and birthday parties at the age of 17. So I can safely say that receiving gifts is not my love language. And that is not who I am. I'm not going to give that to my sisters or my parties. I'm just going to be the best around.

Now, I think you need a new phone for your next birthday, but I understand what you said. I understand what you said. You said receiving gifts is not your love language, and I totally understand that. But can y'all hear me now? Yes. That's a great gift for some people.

Hello? Yes. Oh, we saw a little echo. But anyway, if that is your love language and that's what you expect from your friends or your close friends, then, yeah, they should know that and they should, you know, provide that. But if these really are your close friends, you wouldn't have to go online and call them out for, provide that. But if these are your close friends, if these really are your close friends, you wouldn't have to go online and call them out for not doing that.

And it wouldn't have been no big deal. Are we sure she wasn't joking? I haven't seen what y'all talking about. Are we sure she wasn't joking? She did do a video explaining what it was. So, listen, I don't know because I mean to call your friends out like that. I don't know. She probably was joking your friends out like that that's the i don't know she

probably was joking maybe i'm maybe that's just me i hope she was joking well thank you mama for calling hello who's this angie and another angie angie good morning we out here good morning yep it's angie oh hey miss g hey miss o you buying your friend's birthday gifts, Angie? I'm going to buy my best friend a birthday gift, but if I go to a dinner and it's real expensive, we're going to cover the birthday person. I'm going to pay for my meal. I'm probably going to bring you a gift, too. Okay, that's what I'm saying.

If you have to pay for dinner, you have to travel somewhere, do all those things, but I would bring somebody a card at least. Or maybe like a small present. Yeah, I mean, I make stuff, too. Oh, that's thoughtful. bring somebody a card at least. Or maybe like a small present. Yeah, I mean I make stuff too. Oh, that's thoughtful. See, I think thoughtful gifts like that are nice. Yeah.

Because it's personal life too and you can't get it from the store and I'm pretty good at what I do. Okay. See, now that's a great gift. Something personal that your homegirl made for you. Shows up to dinner. That's dope. It depends.

Let me stop. Hello, who's this? What's up, man? What's up, man? What's up, brother? Peace, King. Peace. You're not going to make me a card with macaroni things on it.

That's hard. It's a thought that counts. If a grown person makes you a card with the macaroni lettuce, you better appreciate that. A diorama? What you talking about? There you go. Diarrhea? That's what you better hope for. You better not give me no diorama? What you talking about? There you go, diarrhea. That's what you better hope for. You better not give me no diarrhea.

Hello, miss. Diorama. What's up, y'all? This is Andre. So, you know, I agree with that. You know, if you go to a birthday party or dinner or whatever the case may be, you should at least have a card. A card for what?

You already texted happy birthday. What's the card going to say? Happy birthday? It's the door that counts. You know what I'm saying? Anybody can pick up a phone and text happy birthday or HBD or something. But think about it happy birthday. What's the call going to say? Happy birthday? It's the door that counts. You know what I'm saying? Anybody can pick up a phone and text happy birthday or HBD or something. But think about it like this. You left your house with your family to go to this birthday.

That's a gift. No, no, no. I agree. I agree. If you're going to show up to their crib, you shouldn't come empty handed. If it's their crib, you bring some liquor. Yeah, you bring a bottle or something. Yeah, absolutely.

All right. Well, what's the moral of the story? Thank you, brother. The moral of the story is I grew up Jehovah Witness, so it's going to always take a Justin for me to be buying people birthday gifts. That's the story. That's the truth, though. I really did not grow up conditioned to celebrate birthdays and holidays

and all of that type of stuff. Having a family is what really got me into celebrating the holidays and stuff because my wife is not Jehovah Witness. Of course, my kids aren't, so we celebrate holidays. But before that, I knew nothing of holidays at all. Damn it, man. Okay? So nothing. You ain't messing with no Easter Bunny. You ain't messing with no

Valentine's Day. No Valentine's Day. Well, Valentine's Day, of course, because you know, I had a woman. But other than that, no. Not at all. Alright, well, we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, and let's discuss the versus. Jim Jones and Styles P have been going back and forth on Instagram as we are

getting ready for the locks versus dip set. Alright, but we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yes, sir. Hey, salute to our guy Rick Ross. Drop on the clues bombs for the boss

Rick Ross. Rick Ross. Drop on the clues bombs for the boss, Rick Ross. Rosé. Rick Ross, he was listening this morning when we was having the chicken conversation about... What was he doing? Was he cutting his grass this morning this early? No, it looked like he was in the back of the Maybach. But, you know, we was talking about Popeyes. What was it about Popeyes, G?

They had the chicken nuggets coming, but they're trying to prepare for a big rush of people, like when the sandwich came out. So they're trying to get the staff together. Yeah, and I don't think that, you know, it's going to be the same frenzy over those nuggets that it was over the chicken sandwich. But, you know, Ross is definitely in the chicken business with Wingstop. So he had this to say. Charlamagne, what about those chicken thighs? What about those thighs?

Breakfast Club. So, yes, Ross got the thighs. The thighs stopped. They got the wings stopped. They got the thighs stopped. Can they make a thigh nugget, though? It's a shortage of wings. I don't even know what the nuggets made out of now.

Nuggets don't have bones in them, so. Yeah, so it could be the thigh, right? But they said they made, I thought nuggets were made out of chicken breasts. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, not a thigh. But breasts got bones, right? But you know they got thigh stop, right? That's what Ross is trying to tell y'all. What about those thighs?

Play it again, Red. What about those thighs? Charlamagne, what about those chicken thighs? What about those thighs? Oh, they also have breaded boneless versions of the thighs. Wingstop got the thighs. What does that mean? Breaded version of the thighs. Oh, it's on the sandwich.

Yeah, they got a little. Yeah, yeah. We all saw the commercial. I thought he was just trying to say that I gained a little weight. What about the thighs? Yeah, I was like, what? Hold on. Charlamagne proud of them thighs.

Okay. Oh, I'm thigh-stop right now. Thumb to thighs over here. I'm thigh-stop. I'm about to lose 15, though. You got to get your hips to match the thighs, though. It's looking like, you know. I got a good doctor for you.

You look like I went to get that BBL. I got a good doctor for you. Shout out to Rosie. I'm looking like an IG model. Looking like a damn ladybug. A ladybug? What is a ladybug? You ever see the ladybug in that big ass shell?

Never mind. Or is it an ant? No, that's an ant. That ain't no ladybug. I don't think that's a ladybug. That's an ant. The ant got the fat ass. The ant got the fat ass, right?

Which one got the fat ass? I don't know. The ant don't got the ass. I know what you mean, man. I think you got me agreeing with it. The ant got the fat ass, right? The ant do be having a fat ass. Well, a fat bottom.

Anyway, Wingstop. This is so awkward. It's weird. Sloot the Wingstop. Thighstop. Rosé, what's happening? My goodness. All right.

Well, we got rumors on the way. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about the locks versus dip set. As we are getting ready for this battle, they're taking it to IG. It's going down August 3rd, but right now, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of activity on social media leading up to it. All right. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. But right now, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of activity on social media leading up to it. All right. We'll get into that next.

I really, really, really like that idea. And it's promoting health. You know what I'm saying? And Jim Jones and Styles and Kiss, they all about their health. I like that idea a lot, actually.

Listen, when we first opened a juice bar in Brooklyn, Styles Peak, all he kept talking about was putting a pull-up bar in the backyard. He definitely did. Why not? He never did it, but he just kept saying, we gotta put a pull-up bar in the backyard. Listen, man, practice good habits, man. That's a great habit to have. That's why we be in here doing push-ups in between breaks and stuff is just, you know,

train your mind and your body to do that. Why not? And by the way, if y'all saw that video of Jadakiss doing all them flips like a gymnast and all, I was like, that is amazing. He's been doing that for a while. He sprained his leg. That's why he was running like that. That's what he said.

Yeah, the run-up was a little crazy, but no, he's been doing that for a while. All right. Well, Styles P went on social media, and he said, that dripping muscles ain't going to stop the slaughtering. You're just going to be drippy and in good shape while getting slaughtered. August 3rd, there will be no immunity for the set against the Holy Trinity of this ish. I got to figure why someone lined my homies up. What did they do to have someone set them up for the finish?

Because they about to get this work. And then he went on and posted himself, and he was actually carrying somebody. And he did this all in his Randy Savage voice. He said, just making sure this 170-pound plant-based frame can carry Jim Jones out the garden after multiple joints and a few drinks after we finish them, boys. I mean, listen, it's a great battle for hip-hop heads.

You know? That's all I can say. Play the audio. it's a great battle for hip-hop heads. You know? That's all I can say. Play the audio. It's a great battle for hip-hop heads. I love it. August 3rd, I am f***ing somebody up. And physically, I mean. Because this is getting out of hand.

And I'm getting upset. Because I love Jim Jones. I don't know who's lacing this f***ing weed, man. When I find a f***ing lace of Jim Jones weed, I'm f***ing you up. Because I love Jim Jones. Why are they doing capo like weed, man. When I finally lace a Jim Jones weed, I'm f***ing you up because I love Jim Jones. Why are they doing capo like that, man? This s*** is talking crazy.

I think Styles thinks that Versus is about lyrics. It's not about lyrics. It's about who got the best songs and the best catalog. That's what it's about. Well, Jim Jones is also putting out a new saucy

extract strain on August that the Lox Pack only sold at the Garden for one night only. Listen, y'all know I love the Lox. I picked Jada over Fab, but Cam, Jim Jones, Jewels, and Dipset as a group, it's a lot, bro. And the Lox

got a lot, too. The Lox got a lot. We forgot a lot that the locks got a lot we forgot a lot a lot that the locks did though like the joints with mary j blige of course the benjamins uh 24 hours to live eggers done started something reservoir dogs it's a great night for hip-hop blackout listen this weekend i was playing both of their songs just to remind myself of all the hits and And I was like, okay, this is going to be a really good battle. It's going to be a really good battle. But y'all lacking like Cam'ron, not on a lot of records. That's what I said.

Is it just group songs? It's both. Are the group songs and solo records? Remember the Locked Up with Akon? Yes. Yep. It's going to be a style. I was pulling out all kinds of, yeah.

He is why they call me the ghost. He got a lot. Money, power, respect, ride or die, wild out. Like, going to be a style. I was pulling out all kinds of, yeah. He is why they call me the ghost. He got a lot. Money, power, respect, ride or die, wild out. Like, they both got a lot. It's going to be a good one. But Dipset had a lot more radio records. He had a lot more records for the club. You know what I mean?

The locks on a lot of street records. Absolutely. A street classic. The locks ran the street. Locks is great driving music. Dipset makes great driving music, too, though. That's what I'm saying. It's going to be a good one. It's going to what I'm saying. It's going to be a good one.

It's going to be a good one. It's going to be a good one. There are no losers in this one. Dwells, Jim. Yes. Cheek. Mighty, mighty D block. I might put on my Timbs and go.

All right. Now, 50 Cent said he's no longer interested in doing a versus. A little while ago, he said he would do one with the game. But now he's changed his mind. And he was celebrating his show, Power Book 3, Raising Canaan. And they asked him about it, and here's what he said. In a versus battle?

Probably not. Probably not. We back outside. That was something that happened during the pandemic when we stuck in the house. Now that we back outside, there's other things to do. Like, yeah, we're supposed to be creating new history. I would love to see 50 Cent and June in a versus. It's like I'd love to see Fat Joe and Tara Squad in a versus I'm gonna tell you something else too about Dipset

Culturally that's one of the biggest movements ever in hip hop history All across the board I agree Not even just in New York All across the board Dipset culturally was huge Music, style, everything Yeah, absolutely

Alright, well that is your rumor reports. All right. Thank you, Miss E. Who would you want to see Fat Joe and him go against? Tara Squad go against? 50 Centage Unit. Fat Joe and Tara Squad versus 50 Centage Unit. That would be a good one.

Mm-hmm. Because you got Big Pun. You got Remy Ma. You got, yeah. And there's a history there. You know, 50 and Fat Joe once had beef, but now they don't. So there's a history there. They could talk and tell those stories.

I think that's the one. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for that rumor report. Charlamagne, who are you giving that down to? You know, we need a woman from Oklahoma named Lorraine Graves to come to the front of the congregation. We'll talk about how social media is making all of y'all narcissists. All right.

Some restrictions apply. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed question. So like a donkey, hee-haw,

Donkey of the Day. The Practice Club, bitches. Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the Day is a new one. Yes, Donkey of the Day for Monday, July 19th goes to an Oklahoma woman named Lorraine Graves. I am convinced that social media is going to be the end of humanity.

I just don't see any of the way, you know, we interact with social media on a daily basis ending well without ending a large majority of us, us being humans. OK, I mean, when you think about human nature, at least what I've been accustomed to in regard to human nature, you think about personality, attitudes, motives, values, ability, intelligence and perception, all things that humans should possess. But now each and every one of those things is controlled, manipulated, influenced, impacted, affected, shaped, directed. Hell, I would say even governed by social media. Okay. It's something about that smartphone, those social media apps that just simply make folks not think great. Okay.

It brings out the narcissists in all of us. And God forbid that you are already a narcissist. Okay. Am I saying that right? Narcissist. Narcissist. Okay. I mean, social media is a narcissist.

Universal Studios. What do you mean, Uncle Shala? Brother Lenard, what are you talking mean, social media is a narcissist. Universal Studios. What do you mean, Uncle Shala? Brother Leonard, what are you talking about? Social media is a narcissist. Universal Studios. Sidebar. One of the hardest words a man with a lisp like me can say is the word I keep trying to say, narcissist. Okay. I mean, if you think I just spit all over the microphone. Yes, I did. All right. And narcissist makes me hungry because for some reason, when I say narcissist, I hear sausages. But back to the matter at hand. Okay. Uncle Shala, Brother Leonard, what are you talking about? Social media is a narcissist. Universal Studios. Okay. I mean, if you think I just spit all over the microphone. Yes, I did. All right. And narcissist makes me hungry because for some reason, when I say narcissist, I hear sausages. But back to the matter at hand. Okay. Uncle Shala, Brother Leonard, what are you talking about? Social media is a narcissist. Universal Studios. Okay. I mean, if you think I just spit all over the microphone. Yes, I did. All right. And narcissist makes me hungry because for some reason, when I say narcissist, I hear sausages. But back to the matter at hand. Okay. Uncle Shala, Brother Leonard, what are you talking about? Social media is a narcissist. Universal Studios. Okay. Uncle Shala, Brother Leonard, what are you talking about? Social media is a narcissist. Universal Studios. Okay. Uncle Shala, Brother Leonard, what are you talking about? Social media is a narcissist. Universal Studios. Okay. Uncle Shala, Brother Leonard, what are you talking about? Social media is a narcissist. Universal Studios. Okay. Uncle Shala, Brother Leonard, what are you talking about? Social media is a narcissist. Universal Studios. Okay. Uncle Shala, Brother Leonard, what are you talking about? Social. But back to the matter at hand. OK, Uncle Charlotte, Brother Leonard, what are you talking about? Social media is making us all narcissists. What I'm saying is narcissistic personality disorder is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for excessive attention and admiration. Now, do you understand why social media makes people narcissists? It gives people an inflated sense of their own importance, makes people feel like they have to comment on everything. Okay. It makes people think folks want their opinion on everything. Why? Because they want the attention and potential admiration that comes with whatever word salad is spilling out of their mouth. It's actually very sad. Okay, I see it all the time.

People start a video off by saying, everyone has been asking me to comment. Nigga, define everyone. Who is everyone? Because I would think that I'm part of the everyone and most of the people who be commenting on stuff, I didn't ask for their opinion. So who is everyone? And it's that incessant need to be seen,

heard, spoken about that makes people interject themselves in conversations. Okay, especially if they are the topic of said conversation one of the most difficult things for folks to do is bite their tongue when they're being spoken about on social media it's like a digital version of the quiet place keep quiet or you could get killed okay that's why so many of you die at the hands of social media because you don't know how to be quiet. And that's exactly what Lorraine Graves should have done because Lorraine was one of Tulsa's most wanted. Yes, she was wanted for accessory to murder. And the Tulsa Police Department posted about her alleged crime and wanted to know her whereabouts.

Listen to what I just said. Lorraine Graves wanted for accessory to murder. And the Tulsa Police Department posted about it on Facebook and wanted to know her whereabouts. What happened next? Let's go to KOKI Fox 23 for the report, please. Last week, prosecutors charged Lorraine Graves with accessory to murder. Watkins says he told Detective Andy Knapp to track her down. Well, he was talking to one of the relatives and she got on the phone and said, catch me if you can so he took it as a personal challenge. It became personal with me. Detective Knapp named Graves as Tulsa's most wanted this week. No one suspecting what would happen next. This is a screenshot of the post

the department made on Facebook asking for the public's help finding her. Right there Graves commented on the post asking about reward money. Police say it was just a couple of days after their post and her comment that they were able to track her down. Police say back in March, Graves originally cooperated in the shooting death investigation of her family member Eric Graves, giving detectives information about the suspects and where the murder weapon was. But last week, an affidavit says she didn't show up for court. And when she was contacted, said she knew nothing about the crime. Now that she's in jail, Graves' bond is $500,000.

Everybody on social media is performing. Lorraine saw that post about her, and in her mind, she thought, it's lit! They talking about me, my time to shine. You just thought that was so witty to ask where the reward money was at. I wonder if she thought she could turn herself in and collect the reward money. There used to be a time when all publicity wasn't good publicity. I would think that when the police have you on the most wanted list and they are looking for your whereabouts, this would be one of those times, but not in this era.

See, human nature doesn't work the same in this era. Whatever intelligence we were dealing with even 10 or 15 years ago is gone, okay? It's all artificial intelligence at this point because we aren't smart, but our phones are, okay? We are in the era of smartphones manned by dumb humans. Please give Lorraine Grace the biggest hee-haw.

I started to say dumb niggas, but this is bigger than niggas. It's about all humans. Alright. Alright. Okay. Thank you for that donkey. What? What are you thinking about? What? What? If you turn yourself in, do you get the reward money? I don't know. I are you thinking about? What?

If you turn yourself in, do you get the reward money? I don't know I'm just thinking about it Let's say they give you a $1,000 reward A $5,000 reward That's not worth it Shouldn't they give you that money? I mean that could be incentive to turn yourself in Right?

I mean yeah I turn myself in, it's $5, turn yourself in. Right? Yeah, I mean, yeah. That could be incentive to turn yourself in. I turned myself in. It's $5,000. My bond might be $5,000. But that's the thing. You're going to turn around and get that money right back to the police anyway. But at least you back out.

Police give you $50,000. You'll bail $500,000. You got to pay 10%. Back out. All right. You got a point. I don't see. I can see how that could work.

I never thought about it. I mean, police, that could be incentive for police to do because they're going to get the money right back anyway. Yeah. That's what I would do. I'd put the reward money out. And then when people turn themselves in, be like, oh, your bond is such and such. So you can put this reward money to your bond. Towards it.

Yeah. All right. All right. Well, that is the end of the day. Thank you, sir. Now, let's open up the phone lines. We haven't done this in a while. 800-585-1051.

touch with? I have tried reaching out to you via social media, via email, via who I believe is your assistant, but I'm very much so interested in your book publishing company. I have a book that I'm working on called How to Love a Black Man, where I've interviewed 100 black men getting their perception on love. And I feel like my fellow cancer brethren would love this, would love to share the love and the voice of black men. But I just I can't get a hold of you. Well, listen, listen, go to my Instagram. Well, you know what? Hold on.

Yeah, I'm up. Yeah, put you on hold. I'm gonna put you on hold. I'm gonna get your information. That's line five. She's on. We have my book imprint, Black Privileged Publishing. We have a book coming out August 3rd,

No refunds, huh? Don't get quiet now, Envy. Kat refunds, huh? Don't get quiet now, Envy. Cap got your tongue down. Don't get quiet now. From those 25,000 people that can't, you can't give this woman a refund? I didn't see no email, Kadika. What's your cash app, Kadika?

We're going to make Envy refund you right now. I don't want to hear this. K-E-D-E-K-A. What is it? K-E? K-E-D-E-K-A. K-E-D-E-K-A. What is it? K-E? K-E-D-E-K-A. K-E-D-E-K-A. That's it. That's your cash app.

She wants her refund. How many people was it? I bought eight tickets. I got proof. I bought eight tickets. Send the receipt. We're going to make sure Envy refunds you.

Kadika, where do I send it to? Where do I send it to? DM the Breakfast Club. Yeah, DM the Breakfast Club. We'll make sure Envy gives you back all eight tickets. Y'all don't be checking y'all DMs, and y'all know it. Well, they're going to check it now, because they're going to make sure you get that money.

So don't worry about it, Kadika. They ain't going to get it. No, you need to make sure DJ Envy gets it. You're going to get your money, Kadika. You missed the flight with your eight babies. How you didn't even respond? You have 15,000 people show up. You can't get this woman back?

Kadika, don't let Envy play with you like that. I bought tickets for me, my friends, and their kids, and my sister, her son, everybody. From where? Where were you coming from? Atlanta. If DJ Envy don't pay you back. Wait, hold on, hold on. You bought a flight from Atlanta to Atlanta?

No, no. Springfield. Springfield, Illinois. If Envy don't pay you back, you just make sure that his new name is DJ Scam Often. Okay? And you got to give her back her money for them flights. For them flights, too. I got you, Kadika.

You better. Kadika, you let us know. Let me ask you a question, Charlemagne. Yes. I'm going to help the young lady out. Yes. I know how times are hard right now. But if you buy tickets to a game, right, and your flight gets cancelled,

does the NBA give you back his tickets? I didn't even hear what happened. I didn't even hear what happened. What was your refund policy? No, there's no refunds. I didn't even hear what she was complaining about. I'm just siding with her. She sent some tickets to the car show and her flight was cancelled.

She missed her flight. Yes. But that happened to me. I bought tickets to one of the Super Bowl games and I paid for the Super Bowl. This is not the damn Super Bowl. My flight got cancelled and I still had to pay. I had to eat that. I that happened to me. I bought tickets to one of the Super Bowl games and I paid for the Super Bowl. Envy, this is not the damn Super Bowl. My flight got canceled and I still had to pay. I had to eat that. I had to eat that. But, Kadika, what'd you say, Sean? You're absolutely

right, but I don't care. Kadika, you're going to get your money. Anytime I can make Envy spend money, we're going to make him spend some goddamn money even if he's not even supposed to spend it. Give the kids $2,000 for they box of candy, Envy. All right?

You got it. You got it, Envy. I don't have it. Okay, forget that her flight got canceled and it's her fault. You pay them back because you're the rich person. I'm not rich, sir. I'm done with slams at a breakfast club. Now that it cost you some money, you want to be done with it.

How much is eight tickets? How much do eight tickets cost? I don't know. We got to go through it because... What is this for? The car show or the seminar? What she said?

It's four and under free. She had VIP tickets too. She had no damn VIP tickets. This is for the car show? Yes. Damn. Them tickets was like $100 a piece, eh?

First thousand tickets. Yeah. If she got the first thousand tickets they were $19.99. All I know is you better cough up, mix. Turn around and cough, okay? Cough up some goddamn money. All I know is you better cough up, mix. Turn around and cough, okay? Cough up some goddamn money, alright?

But all jokes aside... Yeah, VIP tickets, and she had got the package for the real estate seminar, too. There was no package for no real estate. Shut up. All jokes aside, that's not your fault. No! You're not entitled to pay her back. Yeah, right, but I would hate to see people... You should at least have emailed her back, though,

Envy. Yeah, we got 16,000 emails. We're playing another car show. We definitely reply to everybody. Well, you didn't reply to her. We probably did. We probably did. Somebody on my team probably said no. That's why she called the breakfast club.

But anyway, we got rumors on the way? Yes. Let's talk about Richard Sherman. You know, he's been hit with five charges. We'll tell you what those are and what he had to say about it.

I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana Tribune country, my forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

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. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. 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. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves, for self-preservation and protection. It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I propose. What do you propose? Based off what we just heard in Slander, The Breakfast Club from Kadika. DJ Envy O's Kadikaika $352.40. Kadika sent us tickets.

She bought eight tickets for Envy's car show, and now she wants her money back because she missed her flight. I think tomorrow we do breakfast club court and ask the people if they think you should pay Kadika $352.40. Now, the problem is that if other people's flights were canceled and they couldn't make it, does he have to refund all of that now? There's no refunds. And this is the thing. If you buy tickets for anything, a concert, Rolling Loud, or you buy tickets to anything, Powerhouse or an NBA game, NFL game, NHL game, a Major League Baseball game,

and you miss the flight, they don't give you that money. She didn't miss the flight. The flight got canceled. Or if the flight is canceled, they don't give you that money. She didn't miss the flight. The flight got canceled. Well, if the flight is canceled, they don't give you your money back. A lot of times you can go to the airlines and the airlines will try to compensate you. But those people aren't their best friend in their head.

You're right. They don't wake up to that voice every morning. Can she get a credit? They don't wake up to the voice of the NBA or the NFL. You're their best friend in their head. You know what else I was going to say? If somebody borrows something from you and never gives it back and then breaks it, do they owe you money?

What are you talking about? The headphones of mine that you are wearing right now that you broke. So you should refund that woman her money because you can't be standing on this high moral ground. I'm not standing on a high moral ground. We're going to take care of Kadika. No, let's do Breakfast Club Court first. We'll do Breakfast Club Court. Okay, because personally,

I want Kadika to get her money just because I like when Envy has to spend money, but I don't think you have to. I want my money back too, though. I want my money back as well.

We're not talking about you. You got it. We're not talking about you. That's right. You got it. Stop worrying about it. And you got these headphones for free.

But you know what? For Kadika, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Let's have it for $2,000. Because we have other car shows that her and her family can go to. So you better line your people up to call in tomorrow, Kadika, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Let's have it for $2,000. Because we have other car shows that her and her family can go to. So you better line your people up to call in tomorrow, Kadika. Okay?

Right? Because we're touring Breakfast Club Court. Okay? That's a good one. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Meg Thee Stallion. It's time. She's spilling the tea.

This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Megan Thee Stallion looks amazing on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She looks really, really good on there. And she is also making history. She's the first woman that's a rapper to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. So congratulations to her. That's so dope. I'm chuckling because our producer just texted, never got paid back for my broken headphones either.

Boy, that tab is coming out on Envy, huh? That tab is out. Envy be taking everybody's money. Wow. Wow. DJ Scammer. DJ Scammer often. Damn, Envy.

Can you pay people their money? Give them people their money, Envy. Y'all better stop it. Give them people Envy. Y'all better stop it. Give them people their money. Y'all better stop it. All right. Well, congratulations again to Megan Thee Stallion. She said, I've wanted to do it all my life.

I was a little girl looking at the cover of Sports Illustrated saying, one day this is going to be me, and I manifested it. So congratulations to her. I salute to Megan Thee Stallion. All right. Now, Richard Sherman, he has been hit with five criminal charges and he did say that he is deeply remorseful.

They're all misdemeanors, by the way. So, driving while under the influence, reckless endangerment of roadway workers, criminal trespass in the second degree,

domestic violence, resisting arrest, malicious mischief in the third degree, domestic violence. So, he's accused of driving drunk, crashing his car,

and then exploding at his in-law's home. And this happened last on Wednesday, just after 12 a.m. He tried to violently break into his wife's parents' house. And after cops confronted him, they said he got non-cooperative and started fighting them. And they were able to take him down with the help of a canine. Now, Richard Sherman does say that he is deeply remorseful for his actions. I appreciate the support and I appreciate the concern. You know, I think a lot of people have a lot going on in today's world, and for them to think about me and concern themselves

with what I have to do means a lot to me. Well, you're here with your wife. Does that indicate that some of what the difficulty was has passed? No, there was no difficulty with my wife. There never has been. Now, why do they keep saying domestic violence? Um, I mean, I don't know. I don't know what happened Now, why do they keep saying domestic violence?

I mean, I don't know. I don't know what happened in that house. But they're all misdemeanors. But I guess it's criminal trespass in the second degree. Maybe because he was... But I thought he never got in the house. I don't know if he was threatening her or what happened. But yeah, he tried to break into his wife's parents' house. I couldn't answer those questions.

I wasn't at the scene. I don't know what the whole thing is. And, yes. Yeah, because I'm just going off the video that I saw online. I'm like, he didn't even look like he got in the house. So where did the domestic violence come into play? That's just strange to me. All right, so he'll be back in court for a hearing in this case next month.

All right, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Swizz Beatz's sons are all going to be in a movie. They're going to be in charge of the game. That'll be cool, right? So Snoop Dogg's son, Julian Broadus, is going to play the younger brother. Swizz Beatz's son, Nasir, is going to be playing a key role as well. And this is a coming-of-age film to follow four best friends finding their way through adolescence and navigating obstacles along the way. Now here is Curtis Young talking about the role. This is my first movie. I'm

playing a role Kong, which is the gentleman named Hard Time. It's Julian Broadus, which is Snoop's son. I'm playing his older brother. I was asked and I'm honored, you know, to score the film. And just yesterday they announced that, nope, Swiss Beat's son is going to be scoring it with me. So I'm just honored to have this opportunity. That's got to be dope when you're a father, especially when you, you know, the Dr. Dre and Snoop, and now you see your seeds working together on something. That's got to be a great feeling. Yeah, Curtis Young did audition to play in the Straight Outta Compton biopic,

but he didn't get the role as Dr. Dre in that, even though he's Dr. Dre's son. But he did say that the casting company called him. He said his father wanted somebody with more acting experience and he hadn't been acting for that long. So he said he was happy for the person that got the role,

but he wanted his father to be represented in the best way. So he didn't feel a way about that. I respect it. You can't have nepotism in certain situations because, you know, Dr. Dre still wants to be portrayed

in a great way, right? Absolutely. All right. Now, Adele is rumored to be portrayed in a great way, right? Absolutely. All right. Now, Adele is rumored to be dating LeBron's agent, Rich Paul. And ESPN's Brian Windhorst actually talked about it on his Low Post podcast on Saturday night. Rich Paul, his agent, brings his girlfriend to the game to sit next to LeBron. His girlfriend is Adele. This is the first time that they've come out in public together.

So this will be all over the tabloids, especially in England tomorrow. Trust me. How did he know it was his girlfriend? How did he know it was just they're just not friends or he's trying to make her a client or something? Like, how do we know that? We just automatically assume. I don't play no sports.

Yeah, I was thinking she plays ball now. Shut up. But is he just not his agent? Because he's a manager. That's like saying Master P doesn't just have more than music. I thought Rich Paul was a sports agent. He's a sports agent. But he's a manager too, right?

Not that I know of. Not of anybody but athletes. Not of anybody but athletes. He can't manage somebody other than athletes? Man, let it go. So you think he's managing a job? You're rolling in the deep right now. I don't know. You're rolling in the deep. You're too deep in it. Just let it go. So you think he's managing it now? You're rolling in the deep right now. I don't know.

You're rolling in the deep. You're too deep in it. Just let it go. Let me ask you a question. QC. No, don't ask me no questions. Let me ask you a question. QC, quality control, right?

They have a bunch of artists, right? Yes. Rappers, right? Yes. They don't have athletes, too? Well, they have a sports agency. But they have athletes as well. No, it's two different companies.

They have athletes. They manage athletes. And they manage artists. Just like Roc Nation has Roc Nation artists, and then they have Roc Nation sports. Jay-Z manages rappers and athletes. With the sports agency. Rich Paul has a sports agency. Now, unless Rich Paul's opening up another division.

I mean, you don't know. That's what I'm saying. You don't know what that man is doing. But he's an agent. He's not a manager, right? I don't know. I don't know. Well, he does have his company, Clutch Sports,

and he did a deal with, what is it, with UTA? Envy? I don't know. Well, he does have his company, Clutch Sports, and he did a deal with, what is it, with UTA? Envy? I don't know. Envy, say hello. Hello. Envy's definitely on the other side. I'm just asking a question, that's all. Did you just snort?

Did you just snort? Yes, I did. Okay. Did you get it all? Too old to be snorting. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Oh, man. I hate y'all, man.

No, you don't. I definitely hate y'all. No, you don't. All right, Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow. That's a strong word. You shouldn't say that. Y'all, I hate y'all. I really do hate y'all.
