Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo! Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning, Angela Yee. Peace to the planet!
Starting point is 00:03:21 It's Monday! Whoop, whoop, it's the planet. It's Monday. It's a Monday. It is definitely Monday, man. We back for another week. Man, I just drove in this morning from Atlantic City. I was there yesterday. I had to make a decision. I was like, I'm going to go home tonight or am I just going to drive to work in the morning? So instead, I got up this morning at 2 a.m., showered and came straight here. Why? Why are you saying stay? I did stay until 2 a.m., showered, and came straight here. Why? Why you just ain't stay? I did stay until 2 a.m.
Starting point is 00:03:47 I'm saying, but why you just ain't stay and broadcast from Atlantic City? We have interviews and stuff. Oh, okay. Yeah. I just thought, it is what it is. But shout out to the mayor, Marty Small. It was his, you know, he got reelected as mayor in Atlantic City. So he had a bunch of different events going on.
Starting point is 00:04:04 But what did you do, Charlamagne? This weekend, I did my favorite thing, which is absolutely, positively nothing. Okay? Sat around the house, caught up on TV. I'm reading a great book right now called The Big Leap. Fantastic book by, I think it's Gay Hendricks,
Starting point is 00:04:20 if I'm not mistaken. So I almost finished that. And yeah, just sat around and enjoyed this thing called life. Because I think that we need to do more of that nowadays. Man, let me tell you something. I was so hurt this weekend over Trouble getting killed. I didn't believe it was real when I first saw it. You know, I saw people posting about it on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:04:40 And then people were hitting me up like, you see, Trouble got killed. And I just couldn't believe that it was true. Yeah, it's so strange, right? Because, you know, there's something we learned a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago when we were kids and it was simple, right? And I know it sounds elementary, but it's the golden rule
Starting point is 00:04:57 and it's, you know, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. And, you know, just as a human being, I really think about that every day. I'm like, I'm not going to do anything to anyone that I wouldn't want to happen to me or somebody that I love. So I would never, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:12 understand the concept of being that hurt, you know, that much in pain, that angry to where I take another person's life for what seems like absolutely nothing. Yeah, so that was a crazy situation. But again, like, that's really tough. I know his family, his kids, you know, he bought his mom a house. I remember he talked about that on lip service, that he had just bought his mom a house and
Starting point is 00:05:37 how he would do anything for his family. Yeah, then I saw that. Then I saw, you know, Metro Boomer's mother got killed. Yes, by her boyfriend. Then he committed suicide you know, Metro Boomer's mother got killed. Yes, by her boyfriend. Then he committed suicide. Like, God, man. Man, it was a tough weekend. And then there was a lot of shootings this weekend.
Starting point is 00:05:51 We're going to talk about that in Front Page News in Philly. What happened in Philly. We saw a lot of things going on in Chattanooga. It was everywhere. I don't know what's going on. I know what's going on. There's a lot of people hurting. There's a lot of people in pain.
Starting point is 00:06:03 And there's a lot of people projecting that pain. Period. And that's what I always tell folks. Deal with your trauma. Your trauma's going on. I know what's going on. There's a lot of people hurting. There's a lot of people in pain. And there's a lot of people projecting that pain. Period. And that's what I always tell folks. Deal with your trauma. Your trauma's going to deal with you. Like, this is... I don't know, man. We'll talk about it, though.
Starting point is 00:06:12 We got front page news coming up. Yes, indeed. We'll talk about the shooting that happened in Philadelphia. Three people dead. 11 wounded. We'll tell you what they know so far. Jesus Christ. Also, we'll discuss the NBA Finals as well.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Yeah, I'm going back home. It's the Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off today. It's time for front page news. What we got, Yee? All right, well, the NBA Finals were last night. Yes, they were.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Right, so now it's tied one and one. The Celtics lost to the Golden State Warriors. They lost 88-107. Warriors in six. I told y'all this already. Well, the next game is Wednesday. All right. And Devin Haney, by the way, fought over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Fantastic. He was in Australia. And it was a unanimous decision for him. So now Devin Haney is the undisputed lightweight champion. Fantastic. He had to go to Australia to win, and he dominated that fight. I watched that fight.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Fantastic, fantastic win for Devin Haney. Drop on the clues, Bonds, for Devin Haney. This dude is tough. Gamboa is tough. He's tough. That was a good fight. He was trying to come here before his fight, too, in Australia.
Starting point is 00:07:20 He was in New York. We tried to get him on the Breakfast Club, but I guess scheduling up here didn't work out. But shout out to Devin Haney. All right. Now, that's his name. I said Gamboa. All right. Now let's talk about this shooting that happened in Philadelphia on South Street over the weekend. A gunman opened fire in that. Well, multiple gunmen opened fire in the crowd. There were three people who died and 11 people were wounded. Now we do have some audio. This could be triggering because this is from a witness who was there. And you'll actually hear the gunshots.
Starting point is 00:07:49 So just warning you that this could be difficult to listen to. What are they both doing? Wait, they got the shoot! Oh! Man, they said there were hundreds of people just out on South Street, as they always are on the weekend, on a Saturday night, and they're looking for the shooters. They're saying there were several shooters. There's a curfew implemented as officials are trying to stifle any additional possible violence.
Starting point is 00:08:23 No arrests have been made, but they are offering a $20,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest. Here is what one of the officers had to say about recovering a gun. We're uncertain whether he was struck or not, but the officer was able to get that individual to drop his gun and flee. That weapon that was dropped did have an extended magazine. Maybe because I'm 43 years old and I'll be 44 on June 29th, I don't have no desire to be out nowhere at midnight, period.
Starting point is 00:08:50 And I don't even like being around large groups of people anymore simply because I always tell y'all we're all relying on our own human behavior to keep each other safe, and I don't trust these people. Well, five guns were fired, police said, and two handguns were recovered at the scene. And so they are still, again, trying to find fired, police said, and two handguns were recovered at the scene. And so they are still, again, trying to find out, you know, what happened. They did identify those who passed away as Gregory Jackson, who was 34, Alexis Quinn, age 27, and a 22-year-old man whose name is not yet being released.
Starting point is 00:09:20 So they do believe one of the suspected gunmen is among the three people killed. And it's always over nothing. We always say, oh, we're waiting to see what it was about. It's about nothing. Whatever it is, it doesn't equate to three lives being lost. Guaranteed that. Alright, and like I said, there was a lot that happened over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:09:38 One person was killed, eight hurt in an overnight shooting at a Phoenix strip mall. A 14-year-old girl was killed. And according to the Sergeantant, Andy Williams, he told reporters nine people were taken to hospitals. After that shooting at 1 a.m. sent people running. They said it appeared a handgun was used after an argument erupted among those gathered for what was some sort of party.
Starting point is 00:09:56 And that shooting did happen about an hour after police reported that a teenage boy was shot and killed outside his home. That was about three blocks away. They don't know if that was related to this incident. Also, three people were killed and at least 14 injured after gunshots rang out in Chattanooga, Tennessee early Sunday. Yes, I know. It was at a nightclub just before 2.45 a.m.
Starting point is 00:10:18 And so they said in all, 14 victims were shot while three others were hit by vehicles attempting to flee the scene. Among the three deaths, two were from the gunshot wounds and one was from injuries after a person was struck by a vehicle. Nothing good happened? Somebody would make a killing doing just good news. There's got to be some type of outlet that can just do good news every day. I know that somebody had a baby or something. Somebody got a promotion, something.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Yeah, I don't know. Jesus Christ. Somebody beat cancer. There's a lot more going on. Jesus Christ. There has to be some type of good news somewhere. I know this is terrible for a Monday. It's terrible for any day. Oh my God.

Starting point is 00:24:49 Yeah, things like J-Lo on her third divorce. Living. Girls' trip to Miami. Mess. Ozempic. Messy, skinny living. Restaurant stealing a birthday cake. Mess.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Wait, what flavor was the cake, though? Okay, that's a good question. Hooking up with someone in accounting and then getting a promotion. Living. Breaking up with your girlfriend while on Instagram Live. Living. It's kind of mess. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Well, you get it. Got it? Live, love, mess. Listen to Mess with Sydney Washington and Marie Faustin on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off today. It's Monday, damn it. I feel just like how y'all feel on a Monday morning, okay?
Starting point is 00:25:39 Okay, it's time for Rumor Report. We talk in trouble. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report. This is the rumor report. Talk to them.
Starting point is 00:25:51 With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, in a really tragic and sad situation, Trouble was killed. This happened while he was at the residence of a female friend. This is in Conyers, outside of Atlanta. Now, apparently, the suspect was involved in a domestic situation with the woman that he was visiting. Trouble, and this man did not know each other. And he, apparently, they said the man, his name is Jemichael Jones, and they are looking for him. Based on warrants of allegations of murder, home invasion, and aggravated assault. He actually went to the home, and they said that he beat the woman up and then fired on Trouble and struck him in the chest once,
Starting point is 00:26:31 and Trouble was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman who was not identified, they said, was not described as injured at that time. So we do want to, again, give our condolences to Trouble's family and really close friends. Here is the sheriff talking about what happened. What we know and what I can tell you is that Mr. Morrell Orr, which is the victim, was visiting a female friend at the complex. And Mr. Jemichael Jones didn't know the female, and it was a domestic situation.
Starting point is 00:27:10 All right, so that's what we know so far. Now, Trouble used to come on Lip Service all the time. He was our unofficial male co-host, we would always say, and on one episode, he was talking about buying his mom a house. Congrats on buying your mom a house. Yes. Which I think stuff like that is amazing to see you do things like that.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Mom do help me down so hard. First she might know when I was guilty and so much that I was getting in. She still would go in there like, he didn't do that. Absolutely not my son. Wasn't him. Wasn't him. That was my.
Starting point is 00:27:39 So my whole thing was like, as soon as that get running up in the world tour, I can do some before. That's always gonna be first. If I even do anything for myself, like I might not buy a bitch ass thing, but it's gonna always be more on dude than my family first. And then he also talked about having no regrets.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Bruh, I ain't tight as shit like Lil with no regrets in history. I don't give a fuck whatever been done by nothing. I'm gonna keep it G code, I'm always straight on one way. So it's your life, I feel like you supposed to go through shit like it is what it is. Ain't no success without no story. So I'm cool with continuing to build my story until the big God call me home. Horrible, man.
Starting point is 00:28:15 I mean, any word you use is an understatement, right? Horrible, tragic. I understand not living with no regrets, but nobody wants to leave this earth at the hands of another person. At all. You know? Especially, you know, living with no regrets, but nobody wants to leave this earth at the hands of another person. At all. You know? Especially, you know, somebody who was probably dealing with so much hurt and, you know, pain, and they project that pain on that brother. They didn't even know each other.
Starting point is 00:28:34 It's like, that's what I was saying earlier about the golden rule. I know it sounds elementary to say, but it's like you're literally doing to others as you would have them doing to you. Like, I don't want to do anything to anybody that I wouldn't want done, you know, to me or somebody I love. So I just, I would never be able to wrap my mind around just taking somebody's life for absolutely, positively nothing. And since he just talked about buying his,
Starting point is 00:28:55 the clip we played of him talking about buying his mom's house, let's talk about The Rock, Dwayne Johnson. He went on Instagram over the weekend. He had some videos with his mom. He surprised her with a brand new home. Now he posted, bought my mom into her new family room where we placed her vintage ukuleles up on the wall. And I was able to unearth pictures of our ancestors that she hasn't seen since she was a child growing up in Samoa. She misses her mom
Starting point is 00:29:20 and dad. I miss them too. Thank you, for blessing me with a little bit of work ethic to make stuff like this happen. Enjoy your new home, Mom. So that's a dope feeling for him as well as he posted these videos. And he said he'll happily take his mom's tears of joy. He said, when I was a little boy, I hated when my mom would cry. These days, I'll happily take her tears of joy. Don't drop on the clues, Bob, for the rock. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:29:42 I'm telling you, we need to start goodnews.org. We need to report good news stories like that. Lord have mercy, everything's so dark nowadays. Alright, and Amanda Seals has responded to being left off of the real finale episode. She said it didn't include her and she was not happy
Starting point is 00:29:59 in responding to the promo of the finale. Here's what she said. So apparently the real in their finale episode, did promo. I am not featured in this thumbnail, and I am not featured in the farewell episode, apparently. I'll have some things to say about that. Good job. So she did join The Real for its sixth season and she left five months later she said it doesn't feel good to my soul to be at a place where i cannot speak to my people the way they need to
Starting point is 00:30:34 be spoken to and where the people that are speaking to me and despairing ways are not being handled i mean that's an obvious slight right i mean if they uh showcase every other host that's been on the rail thus far and and't showcase her, then that's an obvious slight, right? Yes, and I know Amanda is going to let us know what happened. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Let's end with the positive news from now on. Let's start with the dark and then let's end with the rock and on the high. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, this rumor report is.
Starting point is 00:31:06 We got front page news next year. Huh. It's not necessarily a good story, but let's talk about a man who was in the middle of proposing and got interrupted. Oh, I saw that. I saw that. Okay. Kind of funny.

Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off today. It's time for front page news. What we got, Yee? All right, well, let's not forget the NBA Finals were last night. And the Golden State Warriors beat the Boston Celtics 107-88. So it's now tied 1-1.
Starting point is 00:32:00 And the next game is going to be on Wednesday. In Boston. Warriors in six, though. Told y'all this already. All right. Well, let's talk about Disneyland Paris. So this week, well, last week, one of their workers ruined a marriage proposal in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle. It's a viral video now.
Starting point is 00:32:17 The man was kneeling on one knee. He was giving his partner the ring. The woman got emotional. She put her hands over her mouth. People were applauding. And then a person who works there who has not been identified comes over and says, to do it over here, it'll be better. Listen to this. Yes, that's great. It's over here.
Starting point is 00:32:56 She's going to be even better. I don't know if y'all saw that video, but literally this guy looks like he's intercepting a football. He comes running out of nowhere and snatches the ring out of the fiance's hand while the fiance is on his knee about to propose to his girlfriend. And I respect people who give their all to whatever it is they're doing, but come on, man. Even the higher-ups at Disney, your supervisor, your manager, your boss,
Starting point is 00:33:20 got to be looking at you like you suck. Yeah, a spokesperson for Disney said the theme park has since communicated with the couple. They've apologized. Yeah. And they said, we regret how this was handled. We have apologized and offered to make it right. You're just a human, a terrible character to do something like that. Who would even think to interrupt someone on their knee and grab the ring and be like,
Starting point is 00:33:37 over here will be even better. You have no soul. You stole that couple's moment. And for what? You'll never get a promotion. Because I'm telling you, the people you work for think you are a complete lame and the patience of the brother proposing he had every right to swing on that man because that could have been that's that's actually stealing by the way you stole my you stole from me you stole my moment you know and
Starting point is 00:33:57 you stole my property because he snatched the ring out his hand well he didn't he yes he did i don't know about that listen if it's still that moment. He snatched the ring out of his hand and took off running. I don't know you an employee there. In these times where everybody's, you know, stealing and robbing, he had every right to jump on that man and beat his ass in that moment. But what would make, I think, if you feel like there's a space that would have been good for pictures, you'd wait until after, it would be like, hey, if you guys want to come over here
Starting point is 00:34:20 and take some pictures, that could be nice. That's all. You don't interrupt the moment. That employee should be arrested for stealing. That was stealing. Not only did he steal the moment, he stole the guy's ring. He snatched the ring and took off running. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Now let's talk about one of the mothers who ran into Robb Elementary School to rescue her two children during the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas last week. She said that police threatened to violate her probation for speaking about the incident to reporters. Anjali Gomez told CBS News on Thursday she was forced to rush into the school after watching police fail to quickly respond to that deadly shooting. And she criticized them in media outlets. And she said an officer threatened to charge her for violating probation. Here's what she said.
Starting point is 00:35:04 And they started escorting me out and as I see that they're opening my son's door, I go run for my son and I get him. While you were inside the school, did you see officers inside the school? There was not one officer inside the school when I ran to my second son's class. There was not one officer. And you were hearing gunshots so you knew that it was an active shooter. It was still active. The gunshots were still active. They were not in there. There was no one in there. If anything, when I pulled up, my car was closer to the school than where the snipers and everybody that was laying on the ground were.
Starting point is 00:35:37 I was just thinking that they could have saved many more lives. Yeah, so the police are not appreciating her speaking out. And a lot of people are saying they really dropped the ball in this situation. And again, lives could have been saved. Imagine your children are inside that school and you feel like the police aren't doing anything. She did whatever she had to do to keep them safe. That's another reason, you know, that no civilian should have an AR-15, right? Because if the police are outside thinking about the fact that, man, we don't have the firepower to go against that guy inside of there.
Starting point is 00:36:09 That lets you know why civilians should not have an AR-15. All right, well, that is your front page news. That's right. And listen, when we come back, we're going to throw back to a conversation we had with Mike Will Made It and the late, great Trouble. You know, Trouble was up here. He had just signed with Mike Will Made It and the late, great Trouble. You know, Trouble was up here. He had just signed to Mike Will.
Starting point is 00:36:30 And so they were up here discussing that. But, you know, like I said, Trouble is always one of the most entertaining people when he speaks. Just very insightful and funny. You know, and very talented. So we're going to get that on for you. Yes.

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.
Starting point is 00:38:25 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.

Starting point is 00:42:56 Edgewood. How much did Mike Will elevate your sound, you think? Mike, I don't know. I feel like my sound been my same sound since the beginning, for real, for real. It's just a continuation of my story, for real. I just be telling my life story and everything. I don't know, I feel like my sign been my same sign since the beginning, for real, for real. It's just a continuation of my story, for real. I just be telling my life story and everything. I don't been doing everything. I be witnessing, for real.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Mike definitely got some deeper track than what I might just grab. I'm Gmail shouter. I don't got to have one of the bigger producers in the game. I still be going through Gmail. You can be 16 for Wichita Cans. I don't really be Cans. If you got that heat, I just pull it up.
Starting point is 00:43:25 But Mike definitely had a deeper sound to it. I feel like that's why we end up just being like, we might as well just do everything the whole way, all the way together. How y'all hook up? I've been rocking with Mike for a minute, like I said, before I really even got in the game. Like, because he was already rocking with my bro.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Like, as soon as I came home, you feel me? Like, so he was already, like, to be honest, he was always on my line, just trying to get me out of there. Like, bro, you got to stay came home, you feel me? Like, so he was already, like, to be honest, for knowing he was always on my line, just trying to get me out of there. Like, bro, you gotta stay in, stay locked in. But I still really was walking the one foot in, one foot out way, you know what I'm saying? Really not even believing about no nothing.
Starting point is 00:43:55 I ain't really, I ain't really like the way, like, the politics you gotta play in, just different dude who I was meeting in the game, I was like, they're too gay, like, not in the literal, like, not in the literal sense, like, being gay, like, sitting on the throne. But, you know what I mean? It was just too much foo-foo that I didn't really
Starting point is 00:44:10 want to rock with. But then I was able to see, like, from me sitting back from doing what I still was doing, and then him staying down and still being in the studio, and him gravitating to where he ended up being at. I was like, damn, that pop off for real. So when he actually ended up coming back in the States and called my phone, he stayed on my line, you know what I'm saying? He ended up just hitting me like, bro, he s*** pop off for real. So when he actually ended up coming back in the States and called my phone,
Starting point is 00:44:25 he stayed on my line, you know what I'm saying? He ended up just hitting me like, bro, you need to pull up, bro. I'm telling you, you hit, bro. You still got the streak. Snack love you. Ain't no way you can't be out of here, you feel me? I was like, man, I just ended up jumping out of my comfort zone at one point in time. Like, man, let me go on out there, motherf***er.
Starting point is 00:44:40 He always be at one studio. I hate that s***. Like 30 minutes away from the city. I'm up in the turf with him. Like, I'm in the middle of the turf in a you know that's all like I'm not coming out there by no rep you got a car right you crazy to go do some rap to us better than what you used to be doing man no you know you feel but it took me a minute to jump out my comfort zone, you feel me? Like, I was still stuck in my box. I was like, bro, I'm straight.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Well, I'm mad with it, bro. Just pull up to the bluff. You feel me? Like, I don't want to go out with no tree sound. This Gwinnett County, these folks just sent me, man. These folks just sent me down the road. And for the record, he really did say pull up to the bluff, though. Nah, for real.
Starting point is 00:45:21 I hate it going out there. Oh, wait, real quick, too, by the way. What, what? Trouble didn't mean gay, like gay gay. Yeah, he cleaned it up. Yeah, I know the LGBT community going to try to jump all over him. He didn't mean it like that. Yeah, I tried to tell him. So how'd you get the name Trouble?
Starting point is 00:45:34 That came from the turf, like from some of the OGs, like since I was young. You was always in trouble? I wasn't always in trouble. Like, it really was just when it was necessary. You know what I'm saying? And it came really from me hearing licks and shit. Like, I was pulling your window was necessary I was a lot and it came really from me and licks like well I'll pull the moves like when I was on when I was a jet like that came before trapping and all that so like really one of my big dog he got like sit like sinister right now free tre tre but
Starting point is 00:45:55 he was he was always put me on there thing so when he'll push up on the block he was talking to all the old heads and telling them like who were moving for him whatnot so anytime I started coming back up that one thing ain't like, bro, anytime Shia would come around, he ain't finna be nothing but some trouble. But it really just came from me pushing moves and I was always ready to hit. Like I love anybody in the A-Lite who just know me or know about anything.
Starting point is 00:46:14 They know I'ma hit it out. Like Shia would love to fight. Like when we grow up, it was always about the hit, you know what I mean? We'll shoot it out, we'll bust it at the end of the day, but we love to hit, you feel me? So that just kind of a little bit what came behind my name. People with you too.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Now you guys just finally, finally announced that you signed to Air Drummers, but I know you guys have been rocking with each other for a while now, so did you just sign or you just announced it? Because what took so long for this to happen? Nah, we actually did like the paper, the real paper work, like probably a little bit
Starting point is 00:46:41 before I went back in the counter on the last little sit down. So it probably took like a month and a half before I went back in. How many times you got locked up? S***. Just put my name in Google. It's share. You just came home in January, right?
Starting point is 00:46:53 Yeah. For drug possession. Yeah. I called a little... They really were trying to blitz me. It was a little trafficking charge. It was a trafficking charge. I think my lawyer said it was like a gram away from being in the fed with it.
Starting point is 00:47:06 But, like, if it really went from home, they were trying to belt tie me. She told me, he's a man to society. Like, he obviously ain't learned his lesson. I'm like, man, I ain't even got in there since I've been home from the Lala rodeo. You feel me? But she really was trying to sit me. But my lawyer ended up working it more. And it's so crazy, bro, the way the big guy work.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Like, my lawyer ended up working it more for me sitting in there probably for like nine in the morning about 4 30 lad one up in the coat house type of movie film just telling them everything for what i had them built up from me being home and what i was working on what not she ended up going for so i just need a little time going out because i done just invested my money up in the studio i got my own studio in the a and all that i'll be like we just did the deal and all this so she end up cutting it down and stuck she stuck she went for the move all that ten years she's like no cuz first she wanted me to get the whole ten on the seat now so she gave me ten years on paperwork and told me to do three in the inside again I was like man I'm gonna take that since
Starting point is 00:47:57 single-digit I got it all right but she was like I give you I give like a month and a half to be out and then you just have to turn yourself in so I already knew I often have to go back in there. So that's when we ended up shooting the movie and all that before I went in real quick just to get some things in order. And then my lawyer, it's so crazy. Like, as soon as I came home, probably like a month and a half later, my lawyer ended up dying on me. What, like a heart attack?
Starting point is 00:48:19 No, he hadn't already had cancer. Like, he hadn't been tripping about it. Like, he had been doing good, actually. Like, for real, for real. Like, when I first caught the case, it was shell on me. He hadn't been tripping by like he had been he had been doing good actually like for real for real I when I first caught the case it was she'll on me Yeah, I'm been told me about like it Hectic knows that but then when I can't like when we were going through it I was like you've been alright like he even rock with me for a minute since I was young it my sign lawyer Mike Malou

I like, damn, like, the council crazy. So what happens when your lawyer dies and you figure it out? That's why I feel like, if I ain't really, I feel, I really feel like on some real,, if I ain't had him, like, I'd have been in there. I'd have had to have another real sit down.

Certain folks you got to go through in different counties, you know what I'm saying? Like, who can really work the one? So I feel like, if I ain't had him at home, like, it would have really been shit. I'd have cut the phone because they was at meing certain folks you got to go through in different counties, you know what I'm saying? Like, who can really work the one? So I felt like
Starting point is 00:49:05 if I ain't had a home, like, it would have really been shit. I let them cut the phone because they was at me. So who you got now? Because it sounds like you might need one again.
Starting point is 00:49:10 I really ain't trying to. He come in that studio any time. I be pulling up now and then. Yeah, I'm trying to rep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like, I try.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I be staying out of the way for real, for real. We'll be back with more of our throwback conversation with Trouble right here on the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Yes, it's the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angel Lee, DJ Envy. And today we are flashing back to a conversation we had with my man Trouble from 2018, man, April of 2018 to be exact. This is when Trouble was promoting his Edgewood project with the good brother Mike Will made it and you know trouble You always got very insightful things to say man So, you know
Starting point is 00:49:50 We just want to show that brother some love this morning and paying homage to the good brother trouble right here on the Breakfast Club Who's your biggest support in the a as far as artists wise? I see you work with everybody from Gucci to thug to who should be I can't say some part of like Yeah, I don't feel like no real supporter like that, just being real. They all rock when it time to rock, you know what I'm saying? If I'm the call out, but I just ain't no wave runner either though.
Starting point is 00:50:13 So I think a lot of dudes be expecting you to always be on their line, like if they popping or they having something going on, like they be blowing them down. Hey man, let's do all this. That ain't never been my steelo about no nothing. I don't care if you just now coming in the game you smoking or if you are right top of the totem pole I just like the thing to be genuine
Starting point is 00:50:30 That why I was looking at Mike so crazy like when he come to the studio like he playing the songs and then I end up here Drizzy verse on on the bring it back the second work. I had two verses on them I'm looking at him too hot for real for a lot like, boy, who the hell you going to put on my song? You tripping. Like, I don't rock like that. You didn't know where Drake at first? No, not at all.
Starting point is 00:50:48 I'm out of town the whole time when Drake had him calling my phone. I was out there in Hawaii with a snack. Like, I'm booing. I'm on the hen dog. You see what I mean? Yeah, I was booing. You call him a thousand times. No, I never called him because I told Drake, I was like, bro, we ain't even going to hit him.
Starting point is 00:51:05 I'm going to just pull up to Atlanta and just play the verse. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm just like, man, when I get to Atlanta, I'm hitting him. I'm like, where you at, bro? You know what I'm saying? Pull up to the studio. Because I know this is like, this is a game changer.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Absolutely. We about to just do a mixtape right now, like a six-song mixtape. This dude just hop on here. Like, he hears it one night, gets on the verse that night, and then you know what I'm saying, next day sends the verse. I'm like, man, okay, I work with Drake a lot. Like this don't really just happen like that.
Starting point is 00:51:31 You know what I'm saying? So it was like, boom, I go back to the city. Hey bro, I pulled to the studio. Man, all right, boom. When we pulled to the studio, we going through the songs. He like, dang, brother go in. Like, why you keep playing all the songs we already got? I'm like, man, I just put some mixes on the mic you know what I'm saying like just listen
Starting point is 00:51:46 Man look at the beat up for real Can you put a beat on? Nah boom And then I play that bring it back you know what I'm saying and then like Drake come on and he just looking like Who that is bro? And then I'm like I'm just still bopping I'm like and then he's he's like, man, who is that? And then his boys already know. His boys, they thought, like, he already knew. They were like, damn, bro, that's hard.
Starting point is 00:52:10 That's hard. He was like, man, who that is? And then he was like, man, they were like, bro, that's Drake. He was like, oh, hey, hold up, man. Run that back right quick. Hold on. You didn't tell me you put him on there. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:52:21 And it was just like, it was just like. And that's the point you knew that it wasn't gonna be a mixtape Anymore that this is gonna be album man Really we still look at this like a mix site because it was just like it was just like an organic It was an organic such an organic thing you feel me and like I anyone I anyone a car right then it and make like Man, it's just like boom let it happen organically like this and then boom they link up No saying then when they link, they got their own relationship. And, like, Drake already, like, and I feel like that's my position.
Starting point is 00:52:49 You know what I'm saying? As a producer, like, artists, like, they might be so into their own world, you know what I'm saying, that they don't even cross paths. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, sometimes it's like I got to make that bridge. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes it's like me pulling up on the studio with Drake, having a whole another session and then i end up playing this playing this project and he's like boom he get on that song you know i'm saying not not what we were working on he get
Starting point is 00:53:14 on that song and like send that back and like he still worked on what we were working on but it was like man boom that was just urgent absolutely and it was like man that's when we're like okay we gotta we gotta put it out serious though. You know what I'm saying? We gotta shoot some videos, bro. Like, he shot a whole movie that's crazy. You know what I'm saying? All his videos is crazy.
Starting point is 00:53:32 And it's like, man, we wanted to come with that top tier trap, like come with something different. Like, you know what I'm saying? I feel like when people see quality now, they're like, you know what I'm saying? Like, their heart stopped. You got out of jail in January. So was you writing a lot in jail?
Starting point is 00:53:46 Nah, not for real, for real. I really was just prayed up and just in them book. Like, you know what I mean? I write while I'm home. Like I got so much music. Like it don't take me too long while I'm in there recording for real, for real. Like I just done been through so much.
Starting point is 00:53:59 I got so many stories in me. It don't take me long at all. Rather I just go straight in or rather I write. But it dope when I, I can't say I have paid attention to this when I, versus when I just go in there or record, like sometimes that be some mumbo jumbo. And I'm glad I got real ones around me though cause they might tell me like,
Starting point is 00:54:14 man that ain't it right there, you know what I'm saying? For just first being like, yeah, yeah, that's smoking, that's smoking, let me put out something there, three whack, you smell? So I was like, hell nah, so but when I do write verses for them, when I'm just freestyling, it be hardest. What influence you rapping? What was your influences rapping?
Starting point is 00:54:29 Pop, same ones I did to this day. Pop, Boosie, DMX. I got them folk painted up on my walls in my studio. The old BG. Like, I don't really listen to all that mumbo gumbo. Like, it be boo like for when I'm in the club or whatever. I can listen to certain dudes. Like, all right, it cool for the vibe.
Starting point is 00:54:44 I got the hen dog in me. it's whatever you know I'm saying snack of villas around here like if I just land or like my ride or or if I'm in the hood like that what that's what I'm have all my young as I was just talked to him DMX pop boosted DMX ghetto boy the OBG play a fly I'm on out of nothing from the a from a out when it comes to the a out care you, the old BG, Play or Fly. I'm on all that. Nothing from the A? From the A. When it comes to the A, OutKill. You know, the old T. I still got that on my phone.
Starting point is 00:55:09 The old T, the old G. But I just like music that BJB telling to my soul. I feel like you listen to too much of that garbage. You know what I'm saying? You kind of become a product of what you're putting into yourself. You know what I'm saying? You like people that talk about something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:23 What was the reservations for you to actually sign the deal with Mike Will when he was coming to get you? Because for a lot of people, having a producer like Mike Will who's had all the hits that he's had and the success he's had, they would jump at that opportunity. But why were you so like not certain? I just ain't never been thirsty. Like I don't have several offers like since I've been home.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Like them folks trying to lock me up in that paperwork, yeah. But I just like, if it went all the way right, about no nothing. I don't got no problem taking the long road. Like, I feel like I ain't come anywhere with shit. So I ain't just got to have it all at one point in time, about no nothing. You feel me?
Starting point is 00:55:55 And I'm going to always have my responsibilities on my shoulders, and I know how to weigh them out. So I ain't just, like, soon as somebody tell me, like, hey, we got $3 million for you. And I'm just like, hey, yeah, let's go with it. Me not knowing, I might not get no more money after the fact like you might be getting a hundred percent of everything else and i'm getting them but they're three million and a lot of cases that what the situation was with the earlier offerings you know what i'm saying so i was like once we
Starting point is 00:56:15 looked through it and me and my team chopping it up my family and my manager because he be too strict on it like he all the way through all the paperwork send it through them lawy folk then they send me the paperwork back it has some in a red slasher I was like ah damn they must be one of the homies you know what I'm saying but I was like hell so I was like hell nah so when it came down to where Mike done like they real was on something like I'm already knowing like f*** with the relationship we got and how we rocking like I know my boy ain't f***ing trapping period like you know what I'm saying so I'm already knowing this in my head but at at the same time, I'm looking like shit business,
Starting point is 00:56:45 so I still got to keep my head in the game, you feel me? But when it came down to them, when we sitting down, we chopping up, for one, the feeling was a natural vibe, and we all were just kicking shit and chopping business. And then them folks really was on some shit, like, you make the turn type thing. Like, they ain't just come at me on no willy-nilly type shit, like, and just throw nothing out there on no bull shit.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Them folks, like, you make the turn, you feel me? So so when we came down to it and we actually made our own turn then like why the hell not go for it you feel me like let's get it pop we'll be back with more of our throwback conversation with trouble right here on the world's most dangerous morning show the breakfast club 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.

Starting point is 01:02:24 we had with my man Trouble from 2018, man. April of 2018, to be exact. This is when Trouble was promoting his Edgewood project with the good brother Mike Will Made It. And, you know, Trouble, he's always got very insightful things to say, man. So, you know, we just want to show that brother some love this morning and paying homage to the good brother Trouble right here on The Breakfast Club. I love the record, man. Real is rare, so I rarely f*** with n***a. Expound on that motto. Really, bro? this morning and paying homage to the good brother Trouble right here on The Breakfast Club. Like and they're passing out the wrong messages like they don't don't be understanding how important it is Like when you get in these platforms because like you become a voice For the for the youth and the nation for everybody who listening to who become your following who become a follower of you
Starting point is 01:03:13 If him but new do it just be so be so selfish and it all be it all be for the paperwork at the end Of day people just money motivated. So I ain't thinking about nothing about far for what they put not here They ain't telling nobody that ends or not. So the street, they just telling them, oh, hey, I'm going to shoot your granite house, shoot your granite house, but you ain't never even shot nobody's goddamn grandma house. So why you going to tell that little man go do it?
Starting point is 01:03:34 Now he facing a whole elbow. You feel me? He ain't got no money to put up. You ain't telling him no way to go hustle up and get no bankroll set that's to the side. Don't go f***ing up at Lenny. You feel me? I ain't telling no f***er nothing like that Perry and you just send this up for downfall that
Starting point is 01:03:48 why I feel like at the end of day when I come in like of course I came in bussing for trouble trouble because that was just my life at the end of the you know actually that's actually fat so and it's that song actually came around from me listening to the beats and he talking with the OG that I brought you and he got do nothing no more everybody but so for you you really just need to take them music serious, but lock on in. So, like, my life is my life, but at the same time, we're like, I know folk be listening.
Starting point is 01:04:11 So I be like, I don't want to put out the b****. I want to let the b**** know, like, it can go their way. It could go up. It could go down. Like, your plan could go south. And what to do and how to be prepared for different, certain situations, you know what I'm saying? Because it's important.
Starting point is 01:04:23 Because at the same time, I look at it like for like boosting them like that helped me guide in certain situations that that made made me be all the way on right and for to even be for well met with it today because I would have crashed all the way out if I was listening to so much you know what I'm saying like I don't think dude really think about too much like for for when they just putting out just going in there and thinking like because the simplest these day really be getting you the bigger bankroll you know then like folk just folk just dumb as hell like got add out here you know what i'm saying that's why it kind of you if you think about it like back in the day everybody was rapping out a 16 ball like you around put a seat team or something these day man cutting your ass off his seat
Starting point is 01:05:00 yeah like that's too much they just like hell nah you could be saying the realest in the world like you know something that's gonna really relate, hell nah, you could be saying the realest shit in the world. Like, you know what I'm saying? Something that gonna really relate, you know? Something that you could be going through right then at that moment. You feel me?
Starting point is 01:05:09 What you finna need to hit them last four ball. But you gonna cut it off like if he ain't got the right jam, if he ain't whamming too bad, you know what I'm saying? So I be trying to get on
Starting point is 01:05:18 something where it gonna, it'll kind of gravitate or circulate back around toward that where it has real true meaning, you know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, folks know like, my life and my music and my facts and you know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, folks know, like,
Starting point is 01:05:25 my life and my music and my facts and my life for real, for real at the end of the day. So I just felt like I always just, I just needed a chance for somebody just to reach out by that and just kind of bring me toward a light body to where folks can actually hear me out, you know what I'm saying? So how do you balance it? How do you balance being from the street and putting it in your music? Because, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:41 of course you don't want to send the wrong message, but if it's your real life, you got to get it out. I mean, because I ain't no robot at the end of the day. You feel me? So I got to go through shit. Like, I got feelings about certain shit. I care about my family. Like, I don't have chicks who I care for.
Starting point is 01:05:54 You know what I'm saying? So I ain't just one way about no nothing. Like, the streets are the streets, and that's where I'm going to be at with it at the end of the day. But I live, too. Like, I'm a regular nigga. You know what I'm saying? So, like, with the music, when I go in there,
Starting point is 01:06:07 I don't just stay one way about no nothing because that ain't reality. I go with my feelings about things. So if certain beats will come on, like the Ryder beat come on, and it give me certain memories far from when I was dealing with somebody that was silent or somebody that didn't understand
Starting point is 01:06:23 what it took to be silent or what a real rider was, then I tell that story. You know what I'm saying? Like, when the hurt real bad come on, it click in on my head about all the betrayal and all the backstabs and everything that I was going through in my real life that brought the tears out while I'm recording that one. And then I tell that story. You feel me?
Starting point is 01:06:39 Like, I don't go in there and feel like worried about public perception. Hey, you trouble, man. You got to be straight out there and feel like worried about public perception. Hey, you trouble, man. You got to be straight out there and just get to them straight raw. Everything need to be slash them up, bust them down. Like, hell no, because that ain't real. That's real.
Starting point is 01:06:53 I even saw when you came home, you unfollowed everybody on social media. That's what I told them, though, within one of my comments, whatever. I know there's no folks so damn sensitive these days. Folks take everything in their heart. You can't say nothing about no name but I would meet I'm a speed I feel bro like so what would it work out like I know some folks gonna take it to heart but it wouldn't even bought nobody personally like I
Starting point is 01:07:14 just didn't want to see no more that shit like I just feel like like you get so consumed and you'll go from checking phone out from about five ten minutes in some catch how you laughing whatever well you know that fire done turned into four to five. You know what I mean? That four to five done turned into two hours. You feel me? That's just too much wasted time. Where you really could be like, close that out.
Starting point is 01:07:35 Go down your car lot. See who you need to call about something. And keep flipping it on up. You know what I'm saying? Try to get some new situations or something going on. Like, you can't never be, you know what I'm saying? You can't never be too content with nothing about no now. I don't care how many M&Ms you got or honers or't never be, you know what I'm saying? You can't never be too content with nothing about no now. I don't care how many M&Ms you got or honours or whatever it is.
Starting point is 01:07:47 You know what I'm saying? Like, jump out here and try to build up a relationship with folk. That's what it was about me. So I was like, man, it's just too much on my damn phone. So I wanted to keep it off of that just in case for when my mind kind of started wandering around and I wanted to get on the ground. When I do click on her, it was nothing to see. You feel me?
Starting point is 01:08:04 And I did that. When I did come home, like, and I got everybody get on the ground when I do click on her it was nothing to see you feel me and I did that when I did come on like and I and I got here by all my it was certain time well I'm sure going on the ground I click out like I'm gonna be pop but I'm really forgetting it all unfollowed everybody you know that going on I scroll about it ain't no no no so it kept me out of that world you know I'm saying and then I jumped back into reality cuz sometimes I had a lot of people who they sell and i think that that wasn't up a lot of people in the world too far for how folk be moving like people feel like these days like you can only wear one you're like an outfit that you buy no matter what it is rather than goo whop or javenture or whatever you feel
Starting point is 01:08:36 like you're only supposed to wear this one time that come from being so stuck into that social media and you seeing everybody who extra turned up and all they this, like they always swapping it out on every picture. So you start to feel like you become unappreciative of what you got. You feel like you've become real disrespectful for anything that you're doing or the big God don't bless you with, you know what I'm saying? You start looking at clothes like, yeah, like I can't, I can't wear that no more. I just had that one on March 20th. Like it's so wet.

But according to a source close to the couple, they confirmed to People that Michael and Lori are both completely heartbroken. They still love each other.
Starting point is 01:12:00 They said Michael matured a lot over the course of their relationship and was ready to commit for the long term. He let down his guard with her, opening up emotionally in a romantic relationship for the first time. They had great times together and brought out the best in each other. Why do these things need press releases, though? Michael, do we need a press release saying that they broke up?
Starting point is 01:12:16 Because what if they get back together in two days? Is there going to be another press release that says, Lori Harvey and Michael B. Jordan back together again? Well, it could be also in case either one of them are spotted out with somebody. You don't want to feel like they're still in a relationship or somebody's cheating on someone. But who's that for? Because if I start kicking it with somebody else, I'm telling them, oh, me and Lori are not together no more. Who's that for?
Starting point is 01:12:41 I guess it allows you to move on with your life because when you are publicly in a relationship and then you break up, you know, I don't know. They didn't issue the statement, by the way. Come on. Yeah, they didn't issue the statement. Yeah, come on. Okay. Come on.
Starting point is 01:12:54 You've been in this business a long time. Come on. Of course they did. All right. And there's some white women rubbing their hands together like, ew, Michael B. Jordan is back in these suburban streets. Well, DeVito already, people feel like he's shooting his shot.

Starting point is 01:13:29 talked about an incident where a very prominent actress thought that he was Rick Foxx. I was in a hotel with a very prominent actress and she was doing cocaine. I wasn't. I don't do that because of my religious beliefs. But she does the cocaine. She says, I'm a bad mother because of my religious beliefs, but she does the cocaine She says I'm a bad mother and then she goes wow
Starting point is 01:13:48 I didn't think I would be in this room doing cocaine with Rick Fox She thought I was Rick Fox the whole night bro She thought I was Rick Fox I was like I'm not light skinned with good hair like this What happened is this she jumps on my limo thinking it's somebody else's. What am I doing? I said, I don't know. I can't believe you. Are you fucking serious?

Starting point is 01:14:37 That's really good. All right, now, Boosie Badass. He's thanking God after learning that his 18-year-old son did not father a child with his ex-girlfriend. Remember when Boosie was up here, he said he was about to be a grandfather. He also kind of didn't believe the woman was pregnant at the time. Well, it turns out that he is not a grandfather, according to the test. That's not his son's son.
Starting point is 01:15:00 So in addition to that, I guess it was something crazy that happened. He said the things these women do these days is crazy. My son has had the most stressful year of his life because of this situation. Okay. Y'all want to do this to my son bet in the mama of the door, the mama of the daughter, the worst last pick is the real mother and father. So I guess it wasn't even this woman's baby. It was somebody else's baby. And I think the aunt reached out as well and sent him a message and said, this is the same baby, my nephew, not Torrance. So I guess the baby belonged to a whole other person. And he felt like the mom and the daughter were trying to trap his son.
Starting point is 01:15:35 So here is Boosie's reaction upon finding out that he's not a grandfather. Just found out that ain't my son, baby. I'm not a grandpa. Oh, Lord, did he kidnap somebody, baby? I'm not a grandpa. Oh, Lord. They done kidnapped somebody, baby. Brought it down there like it's my grandchild. Oh, you're going down, baby. Oh, Lord.
Starting point is 01:15:53 I need everybody to come to the club tonight. I'm getting everybody free drinks. I ain't no grandpa. Yeah. For, oh, Lord. Oh, Lord. They done made a movie about my son now. Oh, man. This is a conspiracy of the ages. My heart beating fast. Thank you, Lord. Oh, Lord. They made a movie about my son. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:16:05 This is a conspiracy of the ages. My heart beating fast. Thank you, Jesus. Woo. Great day. I'm pouring everybody a look of the night. I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but I think Boosie's happy about not being a grandpa. Yeah, he's thrilled.
Starting point is 01:16:18 I'm getting that feeling. And then he posted a picture with the baby. I knew when I seen him, and he knew it, too. And there's a picture of him and the baby kind of looking like, we don't know each other like that. And he said, plus he was too damn heavy. Both of them skinny. Look at that.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Look, I was giving him. It was a baby, Boosie. That's the baby weight, Boosie. He said, him and the baby too. Like, the baby looking like, you ain't my grandpa. He said, the baby is not skinny. We both skinny. The baby.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Now, in addition, of course, Boosie had to call out the city boys. Y'all thought I was down, but I ain't been down. It's a bag from the mother. Ziggly wiggly. Y'all thought I was a grandpa. If my city boys ain't over, they got me fucked they got I'm back in full force ziggly wiggly is this hand

Well, Boosie also said, still waiting on your pregnant pics, boo-boo, with that baby in your stomach. Are you in the hospital having a baby?
Starting point is 01:17:36 What was the delivery doctor name? What hospital you gave birth at? When you lie once, you got to keep lying, baby. Your mama should have told you that. And we're the other twin. So there you have it. All right. Well, that is your rumor report.

It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Well, Donkey of the Day for Monday, June 6th goes to 33-year-old Jermichael Jones of Atlanta. Jermichael Jones is currently wanted on home invasion, felony murder, and aggravated assault in connection with the senseless murder of the rapper known as Trouble. If you haven't heard, Mario Cemente Orr, known as Trouble, was found with a gunshot wound in an apartment complex in
Starting point is 01:24:17 Atlanta on Sunday morning, and the suspect is 33-year-old Jermichael Jones. Let's go to Fox 5 Atlanta for the report, please. A deadly shooting Sunday morning inside an apartment at Lake St. James apartment complex in Conyers ended the life of 34-year-old Atlanta rapper Trouble. Upon deputy's arrival, they observed the male, black male, lying on the ground suffering from a gunshot wound. The artist, whose real name is Mariel Orr, was shot once in the chest just before 3 30, according to authorities with the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office. A spokesperson says Orr was visiting a female friend when the suspect, now identified as Jemichael Jones, forced his way into the apartment and fired that fatal shot.
Starting point is 01:24:56 Mr. Jemichael Jones did know the female, and it was a domestic situation. The Rockdale County Sheriff's Office does not have any leads on Jones' whereabouts at this time. We did search the known locations that we thought he may be at, but we did not have any luck finding him. Jones is wanted on charges of felony murder, aggravated assault, and home invasion. Here we go again. I don't know what I can say in a situation that hasn't already been said.
Starting point is 01:25:24 Horrible, tragic, senseless. All of those words are extreme understatements. I saw a headline this morning on the Daily Mail, and it's the headline that we always see in these situations. Hell, it's probably a copy and paste for most of these outlets at this point. And it's three words. Rapper shot dead. Which I hate, because these aren't just rappers.
Starting point is 01:25:43 These are humans, okay? Men with families kids people who love them people who relied on them you know people you know he needed to be here for and his physical presence is gone because of but absolutely no reason at all okay according to reports he didn't even know jamaical jones but jamaical being so full of hate so full of pain jealousy envy rage whatever he was feeling prior to that moment and whatever he was feeling in that moment he projected on the trouble i was thinking this morning as i was driving in i was listening to sarah j grober's uh sermon from yesterday and i was thinking about
Starting point is 01:26:18 the golden rule that we learned in grade school okay and it's so important doing the others as you would have them do unto you you have to live by that rule because it's simple don't do something to someone that you wouldn't want to happen to you or someone you love so i will never be able to wrap my mind around taking someone's life just because my feelings are hurt okay my brother jamaico i don't know what your relationship was to this woman i don't know what trouble your relationship was to this woman. I don't know what Trouble's relationship was to this woman. I just know police said you and the young lady had a domestic situation prior. Listen, man, I'm sure this is a special young lady,
Starting point is 01:26:52 but there is nobody that's special to throw your life away and take a life because of her. Okay, so now Trouble is no longer here. You've caused generational trauma for that man's whole lineage, and you are going to prison for the rest of your life. And what that young lady gonna be out here minding her business and living her best life with whoever she chooses to do it with meanwhile you about to be property of the state for decades to come okay sad part is in prison you're probably gonna end up processing traumas you should have processed while you was home whatever you was dealing with that caused you to do this you're gonna end up having plenty of time to think about it and deal with it okay i don't know what we're doing anymore people
Starting point is 01:27:29 i really don't every day it feels like we wake up and we don't know what we are going to hear but every single time it's the worst possible news you could possibly imagine and what i hate about it the most is we are doing it to ourselves okay it's crazy because there's so many things that are against us that are out of our control and that's what this serenity prayer is right like god grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to know the difference well that is where i start to get confused because i'm one of those feel the one of those fools who feels like you know we can change the way we treat each other but that change starts within us I know I know here I go about to talk about therapy again about to talk about healing again yes yes I am and uh I'm gonna tell you
Starting point is 01:28:15 something else I think that we also need to submit our will to God because God is the best knower and planner and I'm glad that God knows because I don't okay I don't know what to say anymore all I can say is if you don't deal with your trauma, your trauma will deal with you. And if you don't deal with your trauma, you'll project your pain on the other people. We say it all the time. Hurt people, hurt people. This man, Michael Jones, hurt this young lady. They had a domestic dispute. Then he broke into her crib to cause more pain and hurt again. And he ended up doing that by killing trouble. When you see stories like this and stories like, you know, Metro Booman's mother killed by a husband and then husband takes his own life. Do you not see that people are clearly in pain?
Starting point is 01:28:54 Huh? That people are clearly hurting. I just want to see folks get the healing they deserve before they just continue to go around hurting others, bleeding on folks who didn't even cut them. Because, man, I don't have any answers. Okay? Other than God. That's all I got. Keep trusting God.
Starting point is 01:29:11 God is always in control, even when your circumstances may seem out of control. That's all I got. And if you don't believe in God, well, that's probably part of the problem. But you need to because whatever it is we currently believe in as a country
Starting point is 01:29:23 is clearly not working. Please give Jermichael Jones the biggest EO. And go on ahead and turn yourself in, Jermichael. Okay? Make this easy for everybody. Right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. As unfortunate as it is, appreciate that this morning.
Starting point is 01:29:42 Yes. And, you know, from the start of this show, it has been nothing but darkness. Okay, we had to report on this, report on Metro Boone's mother being killed, you know, shootings that happened, all this stuff. So I just need to ask one simple question to the people listening to us right now, our beautiful Breakfast Club listeners.

Starting point is 01:30:28 It's terrible. Something wrong with my headphones? Yeah, they're really broken on one side. Can you get some new headphones? You can definitely make that happen. Ebda Celeb gave me these. These are WNBA Beach by Dre's. Prior to that, Karen Civil used to supply me with all my headphones.

Starting point is 01:40:59 I love it. I love it. I love it. Thank you for calling. Thank you. Listen, we got to do this a couple of times a week, man, when we just have people calling and tell us their good news, because it just feels like everybody's profiting and monetizing off trauma.
Starting point is 01:41:10 You know, we already know the news always says if it bleeds, it leads. But, man, it gets exhausting. It gets tiring. And it gets draining. And celebrating good news reminds you that there's still hope. Okay? It does. Because, boy, sometimes you wake up and feel hopeless.
Starting point is 01:41:25 And today is one of those days. But I'm glad to hear about all these good things, great things happening for people out there in the world. Yeah, everybody, celebrate all those wins, no matter how small they are. Word is born. There's no such thing as a small win. A win is a win, damn it.
Starting point is 01:41:38 I be celebrating when I get a parking spot. Word up. No, for real. I do. Absolutely, you should. Gratitude should be your attitude. That's how you get blessed with more parking spots in life. I'll drink to that. Now, you got a room report
Starting point is 01:41:49 coming up? But that's only if I'm parked at home. Yes, and let's talk about a trading card that could go for nearly $7 million. Alright, we'll tell you what's so special about this card. That's right, it's the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:42:06 Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off today. And it's time for Rumor Report.
Starting point is 01:42:13 We're going to talk Ray J, right? No. What are we talking about? We're starting with the trading card that's going to go for almost $7 million.
Starting point is 01:42:20 There you go. Listen up. It's just in. Oh, it gots. Gots. The Rumor Report. Gots. Gots. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. There you go. All right. Well, they're saying a one-of-a-kind LeBron James triple logo man card. Some people are saying this is the most coveted modern collectible in the world is going to be hitting the auction block.
Starting point is 01:42:44 They're saying it could sell for over $6 million. Some people think it's going to go for nearly $7 million. They said it's the grill of modern cars, the holy grill. There's three NBA logo patches on the front of the card that come from a Cavaliers, Heat, and Lakers jersey, each of his three teams.
Starting point is 01:43:00 And it's worth $7 million? That's what they're saying. They expect when it hits the auction block that it's going to get. So the all-time record is a $6.6 million card. Okay, so is it worth $7 million or that's just what they're expecting someone to pay for, like an NFT? That's what they're expecting somebody's going to pay for it because triple Logoman cards are really rare. Only five were ever made. And there's only one LeBron one that exists.
Starting point is 01:43:26 Oh, okay. So it does sound very valuable. Very. Now, Kobe Bryant's game-worn jersey from the 97 NBA playoffs has sold for $2.73 million. It was when a then-rookie Kobe wore it twice during the Lakers' conference semifinals against the Utah Jazz. And that went for $2.74 million. Okay. Alright, now let's talk about, I guess,
Starting point is 01:43:50 Ray J. Right? Ray J was on live, and he was talking about Gay Pride Month and shouting out the whole LGBTQ community. Here's what he had to say. A lot of s*** that's straight, they don't be trying to shout out to the gay community and all my gay n****s the right way.
Starting point is 01:44:08 So I got to do it because I want to make sure n****s know that I'm showing nothing but love. That is Gay Pride Month. Shout out to all my gay n****s. Shout out to everybody in the LGBT community. I got a lot of real n****s gay. And we make a lot of money together, but it ain't just about the money. It's just n****s is cool. But it needs to be more straight n****s showing
Starting point is 01:44:29 love to the community. It just needs to be. I don't know what it is, but there's nothing but love over here. Shout out to all the glam squads that hook us up. Isn't that kind of stereotypical just to say the glam squads? The glam squads.
Starting point is 01:44:45 I'm talking glam squads. Ray J also wanted to be Isn't that kind of stereotypical just to say the Glam Squad? The Glam Squad. All right. The Glam Squad. Well, Ray J also wants it to be Ray Pride Month. Okay? Listen to this. I'm on my way to work, and I just decided to come on live. And you know what I'm saying? And just give all my gay people, my gay brothers, my gay sisters, give them all their flowers.
Starting point is 01:45:03 You know what I'm saying? And, you know, for me, I want to sponsor the whole Gay Pride Month and do Ray Pride. Ray Pride. That's it. How does it got you, Ray J? One of the most hilarious humans ever without trying is Ray J. Drop on the clues bombs for Ray J. Why the hell would gay people want Ray Pride, Ray J?
Starting point is 01:45:21 You can't co-opt their whole month. You want to celebrate Pride Month? Get you your boyfriend. Okay? I know they're in his DMs right now asking how much love you willing to show Ray J. I thought you were about to volunteer. And it's funny because I really saw this because I got tagged in it because
Starting point is 01:45:35 somebody named Mrs. C715 posted, shout out to all the booty goons that got indoor pools and outdoor pools. We see you. Okay. And he responded, I never made up the booty goons. Angela Yee made those words up. She should get it trademarked. I said some other ish, and I'm not proud of it.
Starting point is 01:45:51 New me, new focus. Shout out to Fab as well. Well, I don't think he said the term booty goons, but he definitely implied there's goons that he would get to put in somebody's booty. Right. Yes. Okay. But I do see what Ray is trying to say
Starting point is 01:46:05 as far as, you know, the whole... Support. Gay pride thing. Yes, I respect it. But I respect all humans. I could care less what your sexuality is. Love is love. He's just saying show love.

Starting point is 01:46:38 All right. Mariah Carey is being sued for $ million dollars and that is over claims that she ripped off the name of the song all i want for christmas is you from another song that was written five years prior that complaint was filed on friday by andy stone who performs under the name vince vance as part of the country pop group vince vance and the valiance they filed allegations of copyright infringement and misappropriation and the complaint alleges that the single exploited the style and popularity of that song, which he claims received extensive airplay during the 1993 holiday season and charted on Billboard. You guys want to hear the song? Because I had never heard it, but here is their version. Cause all I want for Christmas is you I don't need expensive things
Starting point is 01:47:33 They don't matter to me Boom! Mariah Carey one slap way harder, bruh. Fought on this record, man. So the lyrics and the melody are not the same. harder, bro. Fart on this record, man. So the lyrics and the melody are not the same. There you go. Fart on this record. But they said that the titles of the song cause confusion. But there's a lot of songs that have the same titles. There's a million All I Want for Christmas songs, ain't it?
Starting point is 01:47:57 Unless I'm tripping. Well, in general, I feel like we always hear songs that have the same title. If anything, you could capitalize off the fact that this huge smash that Mariah did has the same title because people might stream yours by accident. By the way, I just call it the Mariah Carey Christmas song. Listen, that song was the first and only holiday single to hit 10 million sales in streaming
Starting point is 01:48:15 units in the U.S. last December, 27 years after its initial release. I thought that they were saying that she, you know, stole the song like word for word. You tripping off a title? And look, she made more than $60 million in royalties from that song. That one song.
Starting point is 01:48:32 Listen, I don't ever want to hear that other Christmas song you just played ever again. And by the way, I'm 43 years old and I've never walked around and heard that song in any store. I've never heard that in any public transportation. I've never heard that Christmas song in my life.
