Starting point is 00:02:45 What'd you guys do? I went to the finale for the Tribeca Film Festival, and I saw Dave Chappelle's documentary. What is that about? I mean, because this is the first time I heard about it this week. What is that about? So it's basically a documentary. You know how he was doing those shows where he's from in Yellow Springs, Ohio,
Starting point is 00:03:02 during the pandemic? Yes. And what he went through to set those shows up for a lot of comedians they hadn't performed during the whole pandemic. Going out there was the first time they had performed in a long time. And so everybody was coming out there. Tiffany Haddish,
Starting point is 00:03:15 Chris Rock, Dave Letterman. And so it's basically some of those stand-ups, like the journeys that they had during the pandemic, but also the city, the town was kind of against it. Some people were for it. Some people were against it. And so it was all the drama that went into making those shows happen.
Starting point is 00:03:33 So he basically just documented that whole experience. Yes. Interesting. It was pretty good. And, you know, Dave loves a good performance afterwards. So then he had people performing after they showed the documentary. It closed out the Tribeca Film Festival at Radio City Music Hall. And it was like Ghostface performed.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Wow, the greatest MC of all time. Well, my personal favorite MC of all time. You know, I love Ghostface. Fat Joe performed. Talib Kweli performed. Dope. Yes. Clark Kent was DJing.
Starting point is 00:04:02 I'm trying to think of who else. Redman performed with Do It All. So yeah, he had a Q-tip performance. That's a nice groan function. That's a nice groan event. Okay. I like the sound of that. And then we had an after party.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I saw The RZA was there. Mary J. Blige was there. It was cool. So he was out this weekend. Okay. Yeah, I went to a movie screening. Things are open. I walked in this building this morning and all the COVID protocols that used to be here,
Starting point is 00:04:29 like, you know, when you walked in, it was like the hand sanitizer and like, I don't even know what that other stuff was in the lobby. All that's gone. Yeah, all done. But you did have to be fully vaccinated and take a COVID test to be able to go. You had to have your vax card. Oh, you had to have your vax card with you. Yeah, in the building there, before there was a big sign that you had to wear masks.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I don't even see that sign anymore when you walk in the building. That was going last week, actually. Well, yeah, because in the city, in New York City, they actually got rid of that. If you're vaccinated, you don't have to wear a mask. I'm also noticing that they're not giving you back the results of your test no more. They're taking them, but they're not giving them back. Yeah, anybody else noticing that? I actually swabbed myself for my last COVID test.
Starting point is 00:05:03 See what I'm saying? What? That's what I'm telling you. I've noticed that. They're taking the test. Swabbed myself. And they're just not even giving you the results back. It's like, okay, we just did it to say we did it.
Starting point is 00:05:13 All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Stephanie Mills will be joining us this morning. The legend, okay? We're going to start off this Monday morning with some OG wisdom. Some positivity. With some light. All right, that's what Stephanie Mills is. She's a light. And she got a new single out, too,? That's what Stephanie Mills is. She's a light.
Starting point is 00:05:25 And she got a new single out, too, called Let's Do the Right Thing. Mm-hmm. Come on, now. All right. Well, we got front page news. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about sports,
Starting point is 00:05:33 sports, and sports. We'll talk about a trans weightlifter who has been selected for the Tokyo Olympics. See what you think about that. Also, Sha'Carri Richardson, she won her first Olympic berth, and she won the 100 meter but she was going through a lot of personal issues during that time i'll tell you what that was all right
Starting point is 00:05:49 we'll get into that next it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj nv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get some front page news now in basketball the bucks beat the nets 115 111 say it. Say it again, you bastard. Say it again, you bastard. Say it again. The Suns beat the Clippers 120-114. No, no, no, no, no. Stay on that Nets-Bucs goal for a second. And the Hawks beat the 76ers 103-96.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Stay on that Bucs over the Nets in seven. Like, Lenard said what happened. You were saying six at first. I never said that. Yes, you did. Daniel, run the tape back. Why would they lie like this? Wasn't he saying six at first? No, I never said six. Yes, he was. At, run the tape back. Why would they lie like this? Wasn't he saying six at first?
Starting point is 00:06:25 No, I never said six. Yes, he was. At first he was saying six. He said seven. Then he changed it to in seven. Daniel. He said seven, and then when Kyrie got injured, he said this might happen in six. I said Bucs in seven the whole way through.
Starting point is 00:06:38 He said seven. Please. Lucky guess. Not a lucky guess. I know what Cowboys fans feel like. No, you don't know what Cowboys fans feel like because Cowboys have not been predicted Please. Lucky guess. Not a lucky guess. I watch basketball. I watch basketball. No, you don't know what Cowboys fans would feel like because Cowboys have not been predicted to win a championship
Starting point is 00:06:50 in the past 20 years. I wouldn't say that that's what predicted to win. The Nets were absolutely the favorite to win the championship. Without injuries, though. Man, stop. They were favored to win. They were favored to win. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Four superstars. Three superstars. Without injuries. And then Blake Griffin. I mean, even with an injury, they were still selected to win. And by the way. We had Kyrie, Harden, and Kevin Durant. They were selected to win.
Starting point is 00:07:11 They were supposed to win this year. Even with Harden. Harden, Irving, and Durant haven't even played eight games. They played eight games together throughout the whole regular season. So you knew that all three of them probably weren't going to be together in the playoffs. Okay. But even if they all had played together, I still would have picked the Bucs to win just because the Bucs do a lot of things better than the Brooklyn Nets.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Like play defense. If they were all healthy, I don't... Yeah. You can't outscore... Well, shout out to our Brooklyn Nets. Okay. You can't outscore everybody, man. That's it.
Starting point is 00:07:36 That's how the Nets have been winning all year. They've been outscoring people. You can't outscore anybody. You gotta play defense. Well, since we're talking about that, let's talk about the 76ers. Let's talk about Ben Simmons. And here's what Doc Rivers had to say about Ben Simmons
Starting point is 00:07:48 and whether or not he can lead a championship team. Doc, do you think Ben Simmons can still be a point guard for a championship team like the one you guys want to become? Yeah, David, I don't know that question or the answer to that right now. You know, so I don't know the answer to that. I feel bad for Ben Simmons. He just didn't show up. He hasn't showed up all year The fact that he's supposed to be a superstar
Starting point is 00:08:09 Of the Philadelphia 76ers And I think scored 8 points or something like that He didn't show up last night He didn't show up all year He's a hot star But he didn't show up when it was needed About Ben Simmons passing up the layup I'll be honest
Starting point is 00:08:22 I don't know how to say it But I thought the turning point was just We had an open shot Ben Simmons passing up the layup? I'll be honest. I don't know how to say it. But I thought the turning point was just, you know, we had an open shot. And, you know, we missed. We made one free throw. And we missed the other. And then they came down and scored. Yeah, and see, I think Ben Simmons is, yeah, he was an all-star.
Starting point is 00:08:43 But he's a stats pattern. Like, if you look at it, and there's no disrespect to him, he averaged 14 points a regular season. You consider that all-star, 14 points when you're a guard? He was an all-star, I don't even tell you. All right, now let's discuss Sha'Carri Richardson. She won her first Olympic berth in the Olympic trials in the 100-meter performance on Saturday, and she was going through a lot personally.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Here's what she said after her win. My family has kept me grounded. This year has been crazy for me. Just last week losing my biological mother and I'm still here and still choosing to pursue my dreams. Still coming out here. Still making sure to make the family that I do still have on this earth proud. And the fact that nobody knows what I go through. Only 21 years old. To be able to push through that, mama dying last week, whoa. All right, now let's talk about Laurel Hubbard. She lifted 628 pounds in two lifts on the way to qualifying in the women's super heavyweight division for the Tokyo Olympics.
Starting point is 00:09:43 But she is among five weightlifters that has been confirmed Monday in New Zealand's team for Tokyo. At 43, she'll also be the oldest weightlifter at the Games and will be ranked fourth in the competition on August 2nd. She is a trans woman, though. She's competing as Gavin Hubbard, which is her, that's her birth name. So she set national records in junior competition transition eight years ago at the age of 35. She has since met all of the requirements of the International Olympic Committee's regulations for trans athletes and fair competition. So they do have these conditions. Those who transition
Starting point is 00:10:14 from male to female are eligible to compete in the female category, but you have to have declared your gender identity as female. That cannot be changed for a minimum of four years. You also have to demonstrate that your total testosterone level is below a specific measurement for at least 12 months prior to the first competition and Hubbard did meet those standards so of course this was causing some controversy in the weightlifting community they said this does not guarantee fair competition because a maximum reading of 10 nanomoles per liter of testosterone is at least five times more than a biological
Starting point is 00:10:47 woman. This is something that's been an ongoing debate when it comes to trans athletes. Alright, well that is your front page news. Bucks in seven. Get it off your chest. 800-585-105-40. Play it, play it, play it, play it, play it. This doesn't mean anything.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Shut up. Bucks play tonight, right? Yes, tonight at 730. All right, where we going? Bucks and seven. That's my prediction. I know we have audio of him saying six. You also said Bucks and six. Could y'all stop this lie?
Starting point is 00:11:15 We did. When Kyrie Irving got, no. What I actually said was when Kyrie Irving got hurt, I said the Bucks could win in six, but I'm going to stick to my seven. That's exactly what I said. I don't know. Man, whatever.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Bucs in seven. Let's find that. It's amazing how y'all just can't take y'all L's. Just take the L. Who's taking the L? Okay. A bunch of hypebeasts. New York hypebeasts.
Starting point is 00:11:34 That's why Supreme was so big in New York. Because y'all get so hyped over things. Supreme was big everywhere, sir. Thank you. Not like in New York. It was big everywhere. Not like in New York. Get it off your chest.

Yeah, but there's millions and millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people who do. I think we all kind of care, so it was a big deal. I don't care as much now that the Brooklyn Nets aren't in it, so. Yeah, pretty much.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I feel like if your favorite theme is gone, then you should stop talking about it. That's not true. All right, that's a deal for me. This is one of the most enjoyable playoffs in a long time. What's the point of watching it if your team already lost? You just like the sport. That's it. What's your favorite team?

Starting point is 00:13:49 All right, you want to put money on that? I was thinking a sweep, but I can see Atlanta winning the game. Yeah, they may get one. What? Atlanta's been surprising me, though. I ain't going to lie. Atlanta's been surprising me. They've been playing some great basketball.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Yeah, but the Bucs' defense is too good, man. The Bucs' defense is too good. You have to understand who the Hawks have played. They have played the New York Knicks that honestly had a good season. Salute to them for what they had up there this year. But they wasn't ready. And then the San Francisco, they just, I don't know what happened to them. But me and Simmons and how they were playing.

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

I tried hooking up with your guys from Learn Your Leisure, and I wanted to see if it was okay if I could put my cash app on there because I was fighting to get custody of my nieces and nephews. Their mothers are drug addicted and neglected. Neglecting them.

Starting point is 00:19:00 They still make those. Yeah. I was waiting for Yee and Charlamagne to make a joke at you. How would you feel? No disrespect, but how would you feel if Gia bought a Maxwell-looking one? That's wild. A Maxwell sextile? That's a wild.
Starting point is 00:19:14 That's what you've been thinking about? Yeah, that's wild to be thinking about early in the morning, bro. I'm just saying. I just thought it was funny because you guys always get on his head about how that Gia's like a... You're making him mad right now.... You making him mad right now. You making him mad right now. She loves his albums. But how would you feel if your boyfriend made a sex doll of Maxwell?
Starting point is 00:19:32 How would that make you feel? And be tight. Don't play with him. I'm just asking. All right, all right. I apologize. Also, one more thing. I want to ask all three of you.

Starting point is 00:20:57 Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and let's talk about Kevin Hardy was sitting down with Will Smith for a special Father's Day Red Table Talk and listened to what he had to say about what his daughter told him about her mom. Hardy was sitting down with Will Smith for a special Father's Day Red Table Talk and listen to what he had to say about what his daughter told him about her mom and to kind of chill out. All right. We'll get into that next.
Starting point is 00:21:13 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. I had the room. Well, looks like Nick Cannon is about to have his seventh child.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Alyssa Scott confirmed reports apparently that she is pregnant. She posted a picture on Father's Day on her Instagram story. And there is, it's a maternity photo. And it looks like it's Nick Cannon in the picture his face is turned away but you know it's his tattoos and everything in the picture he already just had his fifth and sixth children the twins twin boys Zion mix a Lodi and cannon and zillion air cannon with Abby de la Rosa so now number seven don't drop on the clues bombs from the canis looting they keep it definitely a for them okay he's out here spreading So now, number seven. You know, I'm dropping the clues bombs for Nick Cannon. It's Luther Nick. He can definitely afford them.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Okay, he's out here spreading his seed. I wonder what the strategy is with this, though. Because Nick doesn't do anything for no reason. It's the science behind this. And I can't wait for him to explain what it is. All right. Well, Tyler Perry and Bishop T.D. Jakes have made some real estate moves. The two are receiving the green light from Atlanta officials.
Starting point is 00:22:24 They're going to purchase over 130 acres in the city through two separate deals. Tyler Perry is buying about 40 acres at Fort McPherson, an old U.S. Army base. He plans to develop an entertainment and shopping district. He's going to have theaters, retail shops, restaurants. And Bishop T.D. Jakes will see him purchasing the remaining 95 acres. That's when he's going to do his own development project in affordable and workforce housing. That's amazing. I love it.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Unity and group operation. Incredible to watch Bishop T.D. Jakes and Tyler Perry come together to buy all that land. All right. Now, Kevin Hart was on with Will Smith. And amongst the things that he was discussing was his daughter, Heaven, his 16-year-old daughter, checking him when it comes to how he would speak on his ex-wife, Tori Hart. I had to really understand my daughter's side.
Starting point is 00:23:12 My daughter had to talk with me about her mother that rocked me. She checked me. She said, I want you to stop saying, because when you say these things, Dad, this and this and this. Yeah. But honey, I don't mean it. Like, I'm just talking.
Starting point is 00:23:31 It doesn't matter, Dad, when you say these words. You unleash dogs on people. But honey, what are you talking? This is me. I'm being, I'm just being myself. But Dad, you can't. That's a very good point, because a lot of times parents go back and forth on social media and you know in interviews and say negative things you got to think about how
Starting point is 00:23:52 it affects the kids yeah you gotta listen to the kids bro because you know we all used to say in this business is just entertainment but newsflash it's not like these are real people with real lives and sometimes we have no idea how we are traumatizing folks so i'm glad uh kevin received what his daughter was telling him it's a lesson that everyone in this business learns eventually now another thing he discussed was his cheating scandal he cheated on his current wife Anika Parrish and here's what he had to say about that you don't realize the impact that your mistakes can truly have when the kids get get involved, it's a different feeling. It's a different opinion. It's a different emotion.
Starting point is 00:24:28 And through my public debacles, when your child shows disappointment, and now you realize that there's a different emotional cord that can be pulled on you that nobody else has the privilege of ever touching.
Starting point is 00:24:43 And my daughter touched on that cord, man. You of ever touching you and my daughter touched on that cord man you know when me and my wife went through what we went through my talk with heaven god damn getting my daughter back getting my daughter to understand that i was sorry that i made a mistake that was real yay man you live and you learn you're not just traumatizing you know your significant other You're definitely traumatizing Your kids Yep

Starting point is 00:25:40 Is B2K back together though? Are they cool now? Did they work their problems out and their differences out? Couldn't answer those questions for you. I don't know where they're at right now. All right. Well, that is your rumor reports.
Starting point is 00:25:52 All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news coming up. What are we talking about? Yes, American Airlines has canceled hundreds of flights, and we'll give you the details on why. Also, get ready. Y'all ready to shot?
Starting point is 00:26:04 Well, Amazon Prime Day 2021 is coming up. All right. We'll get into that next'all ready to shop while Amazon Prime Day 2021 is coming up. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's go. It's time to wake up. Yeah. It's The Breakfast Club. It's going down. Hey, it's Angela Yee. Don't let weak hair hold you back. Carol's Daughters
Starting point is 00:26:22 Goddess Strength Collection supports hair as it gets longer for hair that's 15 times stronger after one use. Available at carolsdaughter.com and your local retailer. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Now, over the weekend, NBA. Now, the Bucs beat the Nets 115-111. Say that a little slower, please, and salute to Milwaukee while you're doing that, all right? Milwaukee, the first city to ever take a chance on syndicating this ghetto-ass morning show called The Breakfast Club, okay? Drop on the clues bombs for Milwaukee and the Bucs. The Suns beat the Clippers 121-14, and the Hawks beat the 76ers 103-96. Y'all don't have the same energy when the Nets lose. I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I like that cocky energy that y'all be having when the Nets was up 2-0 and then when the Nets won game five. I like that energy Angelina and Envy had. Y'all don't have that now. I still love my Brooklyn Nets. I always will. But you got to be shooting even when they down. I'm a Cowboys fan, and I still act like we're going to win the Super Bowl every year.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Okay? Well, we look at you like you're crazy, but what else we got, Ye? All right. Well, the Buffalo Bills' Cole Beasley said he'd rather retire than get the COVID-19 vaccine. He posted, Everyone, hi, I'm Cole Beasley, and I'm not vaccinated. I will be outside doing what I do.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I'll be out in the public if you're scared of me. Then stare clear or get vaccinated. Point blank, period. I may die of COVID, but I'd rather die actually living. Now, this tweet comes on the same week the NFL sent a memo highlighting different protocols for vaccinated and unvaccinated players. They did release protocols for players and staff who are fully vaccinated, including the loosening of COVID-19 testing to once every two weeks, lifting the face covering
Starting point is 00:27:55 requirement at club facilities or during travel. And if you're vaccinated, if you come in close contact with someone who tests positive, you will not be required to quarantine. If you're unvaccinated, that's daily testing, mask requirements, and quarantine after exposure. You also must remain physically distant from others in club facilities, and you're not allowed to eat with teammates or other staff during travel. You're not allowed to leave the team hotel. Well, the NFL shouldn't make the players get vaccinated, because last season they didn't make them get vaccinated, and they were traveling and playing.
Starting point is 00:28:22 So it's like, yo, don't make them get the vaccine now. Well, they're not. They're saying there's different protocols if you're not vaccinated than if you are. So why did Cole tweet that? I don't know. I guess he's just saying that he wants to make sure they know he's not getting it. They're not forcing you to get it, but it's obviously not as the restrictions
Starting point is 00:28:40 are a lot greater if you are not vaccinated. Oh, because that tweet sounds like he either get down or lay down. Somebody told him either you get the vaccine or you're not vaccinated. Oh, because that tweet sounds like you either get down or lay down. Like somebody told me that you get the vaccine or you're not playing. All right, American Airlines canceled hundreds of flights, and that's because they've been having some staffing and maintenance issues. As of Sunday, 123 flights were canceled.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Saturday, no, Saturday was 123 flights. 178 on Sunday, and 97 were canceled for Monday. So there's a large number of sick calls combined with maintenance and other staffing issues. I really don't like American Airlines. No, I really don't. If I have to fly with them, I just don't like the airlines. Yeah, me neither. I just don't like the planes.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Me neither. I'm not going to lie. I just fly at American recently to go to Tulsa, and I had so many issues. I missed my connecting flight because they had an issue on my flight going from Tulsa to Dallas. And I was like, man, I'm never doing this again. They didn't have TVs. They wanted you to use your phone, and then the Wi-Fi was acting up, so you couldn't use your phone. It was, mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I'm good. I'm a JetBlue person, and my second choice would be Delta. American Airlines. But I will say this. These airlines all have been having a lot of issues lately. If you try to call to change a flight, it's hours. It's like nine hours wait. And then I booked JetBlue. They said Delta had a 21-hour wait.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Yeah, Delta's crazy. I booked JetBlue, and then I guess JetBlue partners with American Airlines, and they automatically put me on American Airlines. Oh, man. Well, no, they partner with American Airlines on certain flights, certain cities. It'll say partner with American Airlines. As a matter of fact, I was with Natina coming from, I forget where we were coming from. Her flight was delayed, and then they put her from an American flight onto a Delta flight.
Starting point is 00:30:14 It was all kind of issues. That's weird. All right, Amazon Prime Day is coming next week. It's a month earlier than usual. It's a two-day shopping event. There's flash sales throughout the day. They slash prices on their most popular products and devices so it starts on Monday June 21st so as soon as the calendar turns to Monday that that's
Starting point is 00:30:33 when Amazon's website will be updated with these Prime Day deals I feel like Amazon Prime days every day in my house every time I turn around it's a damn Amazon Prime box somewhere well just get ready for that so if there's anything you were planning to purchase, like any type of tech stuff, any electronics, you know, it's a good time to buy it, like a Fire TV stick, Chromebooks, smartwatches, gaming desktops, laptops, and monitors,
Starting point is 00:30:57 also home and health products. All kinds of things are going to be going on sale. Fashion and beauty products, all of that. Why do they always have these sales? Why do they always have these sales after you done bought everything? Yeah, I'm tired of seeing these boxes come in with that American Prime truck.
Starting point is 00:31:09 If I knew about this day, I would have waited. Y'all tired of it? I think you would be excited when you see them pull up. It ain't for me. No, it's not for me. It's my wife. Yeah, it's my wife and my daughter. I was going to say something, Amy, but I'm not. What? Usually I send stuff to your house as well. You haven't in a long time. I'm proud of you. Usually I see a box
Starting point is 00:31:25 or a package from you. I haven't seen that in a long time. Pretty proud of you. I told you I haven't really been shopping like that. I'm trying to get my money right. Alright, I have a lot of investments going on right now. And a Chick-fil-A worker has exposed that the chain is wasting food. I want to see what you guys think of this. An employee in Georgia
Starting point is 00:31:41 posted a viral video on TikTok and it's another worker tossing a tray of chicken nuggets into the trash and the video got more than seven million views they said the amount of food we throw away and the amount of starving people there just doesn't sit right with me one person said it's sad and other people said they should give them out for free but one person said that giving out chicken hours later could potentially be a health hazard chicken that sits out too long cannot be given to the homeless. Hours later, it will get them sick. It's not a donut, one person wrote.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Hours later? If the chicken is getting you sick hours later, then maybe it's not real chicken. Well, you can't really sit food out like that. But they got refrigerators and stuff at Chick-fil-A and they keep it in the warmers. Okay. What are you pointing?
Starting point is 00:32:22 Oh, today is Amazon Prime Day. Breaking news, it's today. Oh, today's June 21st. Yes, it is. Yeah, today and tomorrow. What is you pointing? Oh, today is Amazon Prime Day. Breaking news, it's today. Oh, today's June 21st. Yes, it is. Yeah, today and tomorrow. What is wrong with me? I kept thinking it was next Monday. Wait, back to this chicken.
Starting point is 00:32:31 You can't leave chicken out how long? That's what I'm saying. Wait, cooked chicken or raw chicken? Man, shut up. Chick-fil-A. But you shouldn't leave any type of cooked food out like that for too long, for more than a couple of hours. But they got the warmers at Chick-fil-A.
Starting point is 00:32:44 They got refrigerators like at the end of the night i've never left chicken out for a little bit came back and got some more chicken i said not more than a couple of hours you're not supposed to you crazy how much longer than a couple hours do you need what do you mean like why are you leaving your chicken out for more than y'all not listening though chick-fil-a is not just leaving this stuff sitting on the counter somewhere it's sitting in warmers like the whole night so it's just like it's like why would they just throw that out? Like box that up and give it to the homeless. I think you would have to give it away right away, though.
Starting point is 00:33:11 That's the whole thing. You can't just have it out and then go someplace to distribute it. Hours later, it would have to be like immediately. You know how when you walk into Chick-fil-A and they have like stuff that's like already packaged in that little gray thing? The warmer. That's all it is. You can give that away at the end of the night.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Why would it just be bad just because it's been sitting there for a few hours? Right. I think as long as they know you can come right after, because you can't be able to take it, transport it somewhere, then wait for them to give it out. It would have to be something that happens kind of instantly. Like they come. I know there's a lot of restaurants that at the end of the night,
Starting point is 00:33:42 if you go there, they have the stuff that they give you right away. Like, you know, you come at the end of the night and get it. So I think it would have to be a system that works like that. Why they couldn't package it and take it to like a local homeless shelter or something at the end of the night? Like they got Uber Eats. It's not like Chick-fil-A is not on Uber Eats. So put it in the car. I think there has to be a system in place, though. And I think that's something we should figure out, like a system to make sure that people get this food at the end of the night every night. Word. All right. Well, that is your Front Page News.
Starting point is 00:34:08 All right. Now, when we come back, Stephanie Mills will be joining us. The legend. Okay. Stephanie's been here before, you know what I mean? But it's good to start off the work week with some OG wisdom and just some light. Because that's what Stephanie Mills is, a light. And she's got a new single out too, right?

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe, my country, my forefathers did that themselves.

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.
Starting point is 00:37:08 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 love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like, grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best.
Starting point is 00:37:26 And you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:37:45 We got a special guest in the building, OG Stephanie Mills. And she smells so good. Queen Stephanie Mills is here. How are you, Miss Mills? I'm wonderful. How are you? How are you? I'm really, really wonderful. Okay, absolutely. You know what I'm saying? I mean, we've been terrorized these last couple of years, so I am, I'm good. I'm good. I'm here to do charity work for Jackie Lewis
Starting point is 00:38:08 okay pastor for middle church that Pat that burned down so we're here I'm here to raise money for her we're gonna do a show well not really a show but a charity thing at Riverside Church and the Reverend Michael Livingston is going to be there too. And I'm just here to help and do my thing. And do the right thing. Do the right thing, my new single, yeah. What does that single mean to you, Let's Do the Right Thing? You know, I remember the last time I was here,
Starting point is 00:38:39 I said I would never go in the studio again. I know. I didn't want to. But Charles Wright, a profound, wonderful director, directed a Motown story on Broadway and did a lot of things. He called me one night and said, I want you to write a song for a show, a TV show. So it didn't work out that way.
Starting point is 00:38:57 But then I went back in the studio with my writing partner, Marcus Malone, and we wrote this song. But it was about what was going on with the George Floyd passing and the black-on-black crime. I'm really sick of the black-on-black crime. And I feel like, as a people, we just have to help ourselves. Absolutely. And not look for anyone else to help us.
Starting point is 00:39:20 I was going to ask you that, because in the song, you say, we are in this together. I was going to ask, who is the we? We, black people. Black people, okay is the we? We, black people. Black people, okay. Black people. Yes, black people. Absolutely. It's a beautiful, nice, uplifting song.
Starting point is 00:39:31 And it's such a simple message, right? Like why is it so hard for people to just do the right thing? Why is it so hard? Why are we crabs in a basket? Why do we not lift each other up? Why don't we? I don't know why. I don't know, man,'t i don't know man especially nowadays
Starting point is 00:39:45 because it seems like it's profitable to tear to other black people down you know it's extremely profitable but i find that people that do that i have no respect for absolutely if you tear somebody down i have no respect for if you throw somebody under the bus i have no respect for you especially when every when there's people that claim to be pro-black but then like when you tune into like you know whatever their platforms are, they're only going at other black people. They're only going at other black people because they're scared. We have adopted
Starting point is 00:40:12 the Caucasian way of living. You know what I'm saying? We have adopted so we can get along and we feel that that is the right way. And it's not. I've never adopted to that. Never. And I will never. Absolutely. So what about Juneteenth now? We have a national holiday, Juneteenth.
Starting point is 00:40:28 People have been pushing for this for a long time. How do you feel about that? I feel that it's a slap in the face. I feel that we need to put money in our communities. I feel that he needs to stop them from trying to take our voters' rights away. Word. I feel like it's a slap in the face. It should have been done a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:40:47 You know, I'm not impressed. George Floyd policing act still not passed? Not passed. The rest of the policemen are not in jail. They should have gotten the death penalty, as far as I'm concerned. They were murderers. And I feel like, see, I probably would have been shot
Starting point is 00:41:02 if I had been there with George Floyd because I would have tried to pull one of those police officers, especially the police officer that was on his neck. I would have tried to pull. I don't think people should stand around and film somebody getting murdered. I don't. I mean, people would be scared. They'd be traumatized for their own lives.
Starting point is 00:41:19 I get it. I agree with you, though. I'm a soldier. Yeah. You know I am. Absolutely. If you thought Stephanie wasn't going to give it to you straight. How do you feel about Juneteenth?
Starting point is 00:41:31 You think Stephanie going to be in the White House singing? No. No. I am not impressed. Not impressed. And, you know, I'm happy that we have Joe Biden because I think that he's a sensitive and more compassionate president than the fool we had before. But and I love Pamela, you know, black women. We rock together. But I just think it's like a slap in the face.
Starting point is 00:41:54 You know, our children are suffering in school. They need their money. I don't know what they're doing with all this money for the school system and and putting money back into our community. How did the pandemic affect you and your family? You know, it really didn't. I mean, we stayed in the house and all of that. But in the beginning, I was terrorized. I didn't know what was going on. I was like, what is going on in this country?
Starting point is 00:42:19 But then, you know, I have crazy faith. And I just rolled with it. I took each day. And I took, you know, I have crazy faith. And I just rolled with it. I took each day. And I took, you know, I took each day. And I live such a, I don't live a fancy life. So I wasn't hurt financially or anything. And even though it was a year and a half that I didn't work. But me and my son, we just chilled and took each day.
Starting point is 00:42:41 Now you look 20-something, right? I'm 60. I know you're grown. grown i'm grown so have you ever seen a time like this from last year to even have you ever seen anything like this in your existence wow never in my life and my mom is who's my hero was an activist even though she didn't know it and even though uh we went through the rodney king thing and the fires in Los Angeles. I was living in Los Angeles at that time, but I've never seen anything like this. I've never seen Republicans, even though we know that they were what they were, it's just coming out. It's so natural for them to tear us down, but when we fight back or say something about them then we're being you know
Starting point is 00:43:25 racist and that's not true it's just like what kevin hart is going through with that man bill yeah you know how can he say things are better no they're not they're worse they really want to put us back in slavery i mean it's i'm i guess that's why they want to make june teeth a natural habit but are we really free? No. No. Hell no. Never have been.
Starting point is 00:43:47 No. Yeah. I mean, all the promises of this country, the freedom, the liberty, the justice for all, for all has been a lot. Right. It's never been for all. It's never been for us.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Absolutely. Now, Stephanie, now that you have this new single out and you're back in the studio, what else is coming? Because I could tell this might feel like even more. What's going on?
Starting point is 00:44:07 The next song is called We Must Change. You did two? I did eight. Eight? Okay. Okay. I knew it. There was no way you was going to go in there and do one song.
Starting point is 00:44:16 It just flowed out of me, and Marcus inspired me, and we just went in there and just, I got four more. We call them our babies. So I'm pregnant with four more songs. And then I'm going to deliver them in a minute. In fact, I'm going to record in Nashville, in Memphis, where Al Green recorded most of his stuff. And we're going to do it live. All my music is live.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Live drums, live piano. Everything is live. No synth or whatever the sh** they use. So you're going to do a whole new album? No, I'm just going to release singles. Okay. Okay. As I feel it, I'm going to release singles, but I'm getting them ready. All right. We got more with Stephanie Mills. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Stephanie Mills.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Yee. And you're back on the road, right? Yeah, I'm back on the road. I got to make up for shows that we didn't do the year and a half, and then there's people that are calling. So I'm back on the road. In fact, I'll be here at NJPAC, Atlantic City, Brooklyn. I'm doing the thing with DJ D-Nice in September in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:45:31 We're going to have people out there. So, yeah, I'm working. Are you ready to get back to doing live shows? I love doing live shows. I love doing live shows more than I did recording because the producer thing with the recordings, I don't like working with producers that just do beats because I'm not that kind of artist. I sing live.
Starting point is 00:45:48 I want live music. So live shows are something that's essential to you because that's another thing, right? During the pandemic, we all realized what's essential to us. What's important. What's important. So what's some of the things you cut off because you realize like,
Starting point is 00:46:01 eh, it's really not that important. A lot of people that were toxic. I cut off a lot of toxic you know people um simplicity was getting up in the morning and just having my coffee and watching good morning america was like you know and just simple things just it's not that deep eyelashes and all that that ain't deep so when you do your live shows you're not gonna do that i stopped a long time ago i don't even wear base i just put on eye makeup a little blush and lipstick and i'm out wow i don't wear base you look amazing thank you that might be the secret you know what the secret is younger no you know what the secret is sleep people over as a downplay that's right but sleeping is so so uh amazing i get a lot of sleep i love sleep yes get it you know one thing
Starting point is 00:46:54 you did i want to thank you for though you did so many uplifting things during the pandemic we did this vision board party and yes and that was really that was like a great night for me i was so excited to go out and get my poster board and get all my get everything together so I could do my vision board and it helped me so much. So I just want to thank with you because of their handlers and because of the things. But I have been wanting to do a tour like maybe with Choco or Patty or Gladys Knight, Jasmine. So, you know, just all of us get together. We probably have to cut our pay back, which I have no problem with doing and getting everybody else to do that. So it wouldn't be so expensive, but I'd love to do that. But it's the hardest thing to do that so it wouldn't be so expensive but i'd love to to do that but it's the hardest thing to do and doing a vision board is very important because you put it out in the
Starting point is 00:47:49 universe of what you want and it comes to you oh the first time i ever did a vision boards when i read uh the secret by ronda byrne that was years ago you hypnotized me your eyes chalamet are just beautiful tell me more queen flattery will get you everywhere. Tell me more. It's the eyeliner. This ain't no eyeliner. It ain't no eyeliner. He looks like he has on eyeliner, but your eyes are just, they're beautiful.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Thank you. They really are. Thank you. When did you first do your first vision board? Years ago. They used to do them back in the day
Starting point is 00:48:20 when we would put together an album. They would do the vision of the album cover, then what you're going to look like, and what you're going to do. Wow. All of that stuff was done back in the day when we would put together an album. They would do the vision of the album cover, then what you're going to look like, and what you're going to do. All of that stuff was done back in the day. What did you manifest?
Starting point is 00:48:31 What's the first thing you saw manifested from what? My single, What You're Going to Do With My Love, and going in the studio with Intoume and Lucas was absolutely magical. And I was still doing The Wiz and recording that album. And just everything that they were setting up for me, because back then everything was done for you And just everything that they were setting up for me, because back then everything was done for you. So everything that they were setting up for me really came to pass.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Wow. All the press and stuff that we did and the albums, they just came back to back. And Gladys, Patty, and I were all on the same label. We were all on MCA. Wow. So they would stagger us coming out. Was there competition? Did they create manufactured competition or was it natural competition never
Starting point is 00:49:11 never that's why we can't deal with some of the competition that's today we never we did the bud fest it would be nick and val and valerie simpson and nick ashford who happens to be my favorite couple in the world stevie wanda luther vanross, all of us would be on that Bud Fest. And there was never no, I want to go first, you have more. Never. We never played that game. Never. Wow.
Starting point is 00:49:36 So why would it be so hard for you to go on tour then? I don't know. Nowadays it's different. You know, and I don't know. I don't know why I can't get together with other females and go on tour. I would love to.
Starting point is 00:49:48 I think it would be fabulous. I love how you put Jasmine Sullivan name in that mix with all those queens too. Jasmine, her, I love them. We gotta have the babies
Starting point is 00:49:55 in there. Do any of them ever reach out to you? Never. Really? Never. Not even for no advice? No.

I've never had anybody call me and ask me for advice. Never. Not once? Not once. That's insane. I wonder if they think that you might not be accessible.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Or you might be hard to reach. Oh, but if you look at my page, Angela, am I accessible? Very. Let me tell you something. Stephanie will just hit you with a good morning, with an emoji. Absolutely. She is the nicest i do that and i and i always get excited when i see her name pop up on my phone i'm like damn i can't believe stephanie mills just texted me yes because i want to show you love i'm like because the

Or people will have this impression without even knowing you. And so sometimes they might feel like...
Starting point is 00:51:10 But I'm a homegirl. Very. I've never been a diva. Because what does that shit mean? It doesn't mean anything. Just because you have hit records or whatever. All that shit can be taken away from you just like that. So people that...
Starting point is 00:51:21 Because I'm sure... But I have done shows with people that are in my and they're not nice to me so you know not nice to you no like other artists other artists younger older and you would think they know better and they're not nice right so somebody might have had an experience huh with some other somebody might have had an experience and had some other divas that they had to deal with and feel like, okay,
Starting point is 00:51:48 I'm not even gonna approach it. So I can see that. But now they hear this and they'll know you honestly are like the nicest, sweetest person. I'm just regular.
Starting point is 00:51:55 I'm a n***a. I mean, I'm just, I'm just regular. I'm just regular. I mean, cause I've been in the business so long and it's all I've just regular. I'm just regular. I mean, because I've been in the business so long, and it's all I've ever done. So I've seen, I've had my ups and downs, and people don't answer my calls and all that. So I know that this shit is not real.
Starting point is 00:52:17 You know what I'm saying? You don't ride around in limousines all the time. That's right. It's not. I go to the grocery store. I go to the post office. I just live a normal life because that fall is too hard. That's right. Isn't not. I go to the grocery store. I go to the post office. I just live a normal life because that fall is too hard. That's right.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Isn't it, Charlamagne? That's right. It's too hard. That's right. To think you better and think peachy. These people don't love you. That's right. All right, well, don't move.
Starting point is 00:52:36 We got more with Stephanie Mills. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Stephanie Mills. Charlamagne?
Starting point is 00:52:48 Now, you talked about getting your flowers. Have you been approached about, like, doing versus? I think versus. I think that they want. We tried. George, who's Chaka's manager, and my manager reached out to them, but they weren't interested. Yo, don't tell me that.
Starting point is 00:53:04 Yeah, they weren't. They weren't interested. Swiss and Tim, y'all. Yeah, they weren't. They weren't interested. Swiss and Tim, y'all out of y'all minds. Stephanie Mills versus Chaka Khan? They were not interested. But I wouldn't do it now anyway. It couldn't have been Swiss and Tim. Was it Swiss and Tim?
Starting point is 00:53:17 Actually, breaking news. She don't even know. We working on it right now. Oh, y'all working on it? Yeah, me and George actually just spoke to... No, I don't want to do it. Why don't you want to do it? We going to do it.
Starting point is 00:53:29 No, you have to do it. It clearly was a miscommunication. Yeah, it was a miscommunication. There's no way... Oh, now they want to do it. But there's no... Listen, there's no way Swift and Tim turned that down. I don't believe that.
Starting point is 00:53:43 But you know what? Now it's even better because now that things are open back up and people are doing like the, you know, together. And I love Shaka. I mean, when Shaka and I see each other, I say, hey ho. She say, hey, bitch. And that's how we greet each other. I love Shaka.
Starting point is 00:53:58 I love Gladys. So why wouldn't you do it? The reason I want you to do it is because. Why you want me to do it, Charlamagne? Because we celebrate you, and we understand the greatness of Miss Stephanie Mills, but sometimes you got to put it on the stage and honor it,
Starting point is 00:54:11 and people got to see the total package of the catalog. I've never been celebrated with BET or any of the black organizations. I've never been celebrated. And we got to change that. Like, I run a whole Stephanie Mills campaign. I get on everybody's ass, from BET to Versus to everybody. We got to change that. i'll run a whole stephanie mills campaign i'll get on everybody ass from bt to versus to everybody we gotta they don't celebrate me essence like i don't understand that that makes no sense to me but you know how our own are you know how our people are
Starting point is 00:54:36 they get a position and they i'm president of this i'm chairman of it this. I want you to do Versus. And Versus is so for the culture. Like, it's really about the music. You and Shaka up there telling these amazing stories. It's about respect. And I'm real, you know, so I don't know if I'll do Versus. I don't know. Damn.
Starting point is 00:54:57 I don't know. Now, you know, next week is 12 years since the late, great Michael Jackson has been gone. June 25th. What do you do on that day? I remember him as I knew him. You know what I'm saying? And I stick up for him. I don't want anybody talking about him bad.
Starting point is 00:55:17 I don't want people trying to... You know, he was a genius, and he was very kind and loving everybody has mixed mistakes i don't believe any of that i knew michael i i i don't believe any of that and i don't i don't want anybody talking about that like that especially if you never met him and didn't know him so i just show love michael jackson is the greatest there'll never be anyone like him like there'll never be anyone like whitney there'll never be anyone like him. Like, there'll never be anyone like Whitney. There'll never be anyone like Prince. You know, or Teddy Pendergrass.
Starting point is 00:55:51 People that I knew, that I love. You know, I didn't know Prince that well, but I knew Michael. I didn't know Whitney that well. But as a female singer to one, I just knew and could relate to some of the pain she went through that we go through in this business. I often want the story of Michael to be told about his business.
Starting point is 00:56:08 He was very smart. Yeah, that publishing story don't get told enough. The fact that he owned damn near half of all the music industry's masters and was giving artists back their masters. The Beatles. Yeah. Well, you know what? Think about it.
Starting point is 00:56:23 Sam Cooke, in his heyday, was going to get together. Sam Cooke had his own record company. And he was going to get together with James Brown and have an agency. I believe they killed Sam Cooke. Do you think they did something similar to Michael? I think so. I think, because why would a doctor leave a patient after he's injected him with propofol, knowing what that does? Why would you step out and be on the phone?
Starting point is 00:56:50 Is that what they said? He stepped out and was talking to his girlfriend. I believe so. Michael was very powerful and he was very smart. And he owned all that publishing and they wanted it. You know, he once wanted to give it to Pops. Really? And Pops wouldn't take it.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Really? He wanted to give... What was that? ATV it was called, right? Yes. He wanted to give that to the minister? Mm-hmm. Wow.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Why didn't the minister want it? Why didn't he want it? The minister doesn't take things like that. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? He doesn't take... He wanted Michael to have it. I think we give
Starting point is 00:57:26 things away like we don't hold on to Like John Bob Johnson didn't hold on to BET we give whereas white people keep their wealth Mm-hmm. We give hours away because we always want the money how much money is enough? Mm-hmm You understand what I'm saying well I think holding on to our to our legacy to our like Motown we should still black people should still own Motown mm-hmm you know that's how I feel I mean that's like that's a great question though because it's like black people have never really had like mass amounts of capital so when you do get an opportunity to sell something and get three billion dollars like Bob Johnson did it's kind of you
Starting point is 00:58:04 know you feel in your mind you're like i'll sell this and then build something else no you should keep it i think you should i think you should i still have my father and my mother had land in in albemarle and that was the first house they ever had i still own that wow i think it's just important to own to build build. Lord have mercy. But I'll say this to young people. If you are not taking your money to the bank and getting your own deposits from agencies, you're in trouble. Right. Were you having any of those sessions with Michael and Stevie back in the day? We were at Studio 54 a lot back in the day.
Starting point is 00:58:43 And we always went out to dinner. I wasn't in a session with Michael, but we went to Studio 54 a lot back in the day. You know, but and I always, we always went out to dinner. I wasn't in a session with Michael but we went to Studio 54 a lot back in the day. Absolutely. I can't wait to hear more music from Miss Stephanie Mills. I know that much. She has eight songs on the way. I think you're gonna love

You know, as I feel the song and whatever I'm feeling at that time to want to put out there. That's how we're going to do it. And then you have new music to perform at the shows. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:16 But people loving that old music. I'm so grateful to be able to perform. It's not old. It's classic. It's classic. Yeah, timeless. It's classic. Please.

Starting point is 01:00:36 Thank you, baby. Thank you. It's The Breakfast Club. That's how you start off a work week, all right? Nice positive energy. Okay, that OG wisdom from Miss Stephanie Mills, that light that Stephanie Mills is, okay? Well, glad she's back to doing music.
Starting point is 01:00:57 She took a long break. And I cannot believe Swizz and Tim, well, I don't believe that. I don't believe Swizz and Tim turned down a Stephanie Mills, Chaka Khan versus. I refuse to believe that. There's some miscommunication there somewhere. I just seen Chaka Khan. Glad I missed that interview, man.
Starting point is 01:01:11 I should say I'm upset I missed that interview, right? Wait, what? I don't know what you're referring to. Did you just say I'm glad I missed that interview? I really don't even know what you're saying. That's disrespectful. I can't believe you disrespect Stephanie Mills in that way. Breakfast Club jamming in the morning. Alright, on your ones and twos you are ridiculous you're 43 years old
Starting point is 01:01:27 you do know that right coming up next we have the rumors let's get into it on the jamming on the ones and twos I have no idea he's old it's about time what's going on rumor report rumor report
Starting point is 01:01:42 this is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club No! Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right. Looks like some drama between Megan Thee Stallion and DaBaby. Now, DaBaby retweeted somebody saying, I guess DaBaby and Tory Lanez cool now because they both shot somebody and didn't have to do no jail time.
Starting point is 01:02:01 And not long after that, of course, a lot of people on social media saw this and DaBaby said, I don't know what type of Illuminati-ish Twitter got going on. I ain't retweet nothing, but ball if I want to promo, I ain't retweet that silly ish. Then once people started tagging me and saw it and I tried to delete it and undo the retweet, tweeted it and let me type an ish y'all on. And he actually did
Starting point is 01:02:19 a video showing himself trying to un-retweet this. Now DaBaby also said, baby got enough problems of his own. I ain't got no reason to inherit the next MF problems. Y'all chasing a story y'all ain't gonna get. I'm out and where it's business while successfully doing business. And then Meg the Stallion
Starting point is 01:02:35 said justice is slow as we've all seen. Back to my good days. Support me in private and publicly. Do something different. These industry men are very strange. This situation ain't no damn beef and I really wish people would stop down playing it like it's some internet-ish for likes and retweets. Then DaBaby responded, you don't let these folks get the best of you
Starting point is 01:02:52 thug. I ain't got no bad energy for you. You know, like I know I ain't no industry n-word. Let them fool you into thinking that you tripping. Stand up what you stand on without feeling like I'm against you. Stay focused, my G. Things started to go a little bit left, though. And by the way, Party did join in as well.
Starting point is 01:03:09 She said, my stance hasn't changed at all. Yours has. We already spoke about this in private. And you specifically said that ain't even no good business move. Why would I promote that ish? But now this ain't your beef. That ain't real. But you stay on your business, my G.
Starting point is 01:03:22 It's a lot of back and forth between all this, but Pardee then joined in. He said, you a clown-ass, and we're doing clown-ass-ish than trying to backpedal. That's what it is. You don't ever gotta address her again. And then he said, you n-words is corny. A lot of you women is corny. Any n-word that shoots a woman is vagina.
Starting point is 01:03:40 Any n-word that sides with it, condones it, affiliates a self with, stands beside that type of behavior, is a bitch. Any, stands beside that type of behavior is a bitch. Any woman that supports it for any reason is a effing sad, bitter, or confused. Who said all that? Party. The baby said, you must not know about me. You must not know about me.
Starting point is 01:03:56 And yeah, so it's all this back and forth going on. And then a lot of people were reposting an interview that happened with Kendra G. Asked Meg The the stallion this. I know you love Nicki Minaj too. Did you feel like you had to like kind of call Nicki first? Like I don't want you to hear about it but I'm working with Cardi or that is like all over? I didn't feel like I had to call her first. I mean because at the end of the day I'm still an artist and I should be free to work with whoever I want to work with. My personal relationship with anybody doesn't affect
Starting point is 01:04:26 what I choose to do as an artist. So that somehow came back up. I can understand why Megan would be mad if she'd seen that retweet. Wouldn't anybody else be mad at that retweet? Yeah, and he was saying that he didn't do that retweet. So I don't know what happened with all of that, but the two of them were super cool. Seemed like they need to get on the phone. phone yeah but I mean yeah social media never works out and
Starting point is 01:04:50 it's like yo before you even get to the phone call all of this is already transpired right because if she's seen a tweet I would understand why she would be upset but if he says I didn't put the tweet out you know maybe one of his team members put the tweet maybe it was a hack we couldn't even unretweeted it wouldn wouldn't let him. And he showed he showed a video of him trying to retweet it, correct? Mm hmm. So I don't know what
Starting point is 01:05:08 happened with that, but that sucks because the two of them really was working together a lot. I thought maybe they might one day do an album together. They made great music, too.
Starting point is 01:05:17 All right. Now, Dave Chappelle closed out the Tribeca Festival. He did a he showed his documentary. And in addition to that, he had a concert after that.
Starting point is 01:05:26 The movie is called This Time, This Place. And it shows all the star-studded comedy shows that he had in Yellow Springs. It also shows how the death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement affected the town as well. It was the first in-person film festival in the U.S. since the pandemic. And in addition to all of that, Dave Chappelle also did a surprise appearance as the Foo Fighters were performing at Madison Square Garden. He jumped on the mic. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here All over the place this weekend. But it was a good week for the Tribeca Film Festival.
Starting point is 01:06:17 You know, that festival started right after 9-11. Robert De Niro started that just to kind of help bring the city back. And it's morphed into what it is. I think it's been like 20 years now. Wow. Yes. And that is your rumor report. All right.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Thank you, Ms. Yee. Charlamagne, who are you giving your donkey to? You know, I do not want to start the week off in Florida. But when I read this story this morning, I said, how can we not? Florida, I promise. I don't wake up and say I cannot wait to give somebody from Florida donkey of the day. It just happens. So we need a brother named Omar Wright to come to the front of the
Starting point is 01:06:47 congregation. We like to have a word with him, but this is a teachable moment. Okay? A teachable moment about nigga moments. We'll discuss. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Angela Yee here, and did you
Starting point is 01:07:03 know that the general insurance has been saving people money for nearly 60 years? That's a long time. So if you want the quality coverage you deserve at prices you can afford, check out the General. 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com. Some restrictions apply. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey.
Starting point is 01:07:30 A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Don't be in the game with Charlamagne Tha God. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this.
Starting point is 01:07:49 Well, donkey of the day for Monday, June 21st goes to a Florida man named Omar Wright. Now, what does your Uncle Charla always tell you about the great state of Florida? It's beautiful and sunny. It is. It is. But the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. And like Angelina just said, Florida is a beautiful state, but you have to look alive at all times.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Because I say it often on this radio, we wake up every day of our lives and all we want to do is avoid crazy. OK, virtually impossible thing to do in Florida. Everything and everybody is crazy in Florida. Regular everyday things we do on the daily routine things can lead to you having an encounter in Florida with some type of crazy. And that's exactly what happened at this Starbucks. Now, I'm one of the few people on Earth who don't go to Starbucks for food. OK, I get my green tea with honey. I'm drinking it right now and I keep it moving. OK, I may I may have had a blueberry muffin from there, some oatmeal once or twice. But food from Starbucks, not my thing. Okay. My daughters,
Starting point is 01:08:45 on the other hand, not only do they want lattes, they want cake pops and bagels from Starbucks. If we traveling early in the morning and no breakfast has been had, my seeds will make that bagel run to Starbucks. Personally, I don't eat bagels, so I will never understand the joy they bring to some of y'all. Okay. I remember when I first moved to New York in 2006, being from South Carolina, I'm a biscuit for breakfast guy. OK, biscuit breakfast sandwiches, chicken biscuits with egg. Hell, even a biscuit with just egg is what I call good eating in the morning. But when I came up here asking for that in 06, these people were looking at me like I was crazy, offering me this thing called a bagel.
Starting point is 01:09:19 I don't want that. It tastes like what I imagine tires to taste like. All chewy and non-eventful i don't have time for that but people clearly love bagels but in florida they express their love for bagels a little differently than the rest of us enter omar right see omar got angry at a starbucks drive-thru employee when he realized they got his order wrong would you like to know what happened let's go to wplg local 10 for the report, please. As the chief of Miami Gardens PD marched shoulder to shoulder with other county leaders, athletes, and activists against gun violence, she was carrying a heavy burden on her shoulders.
Starting point is 01:09:56 Just today, I could have lost my daughter today. Hours before the peace rally at this Starbucks in Miami Gardens, Chief Delma Noel Pratt's daughter was hard at work, doling out orders in the drive-thru when a customer turned irate and pulled out a gun as he sparked a feud with staff over cream cheese. The chief's 23-year-old daughter was on the receiving end of the verbal and physical threats. 38-year-old Omar Wright is now in custody for aggravated assault. The suspect is also facing an additional charge of armed robbery with a deadly weapon. First of all, there is not a bagel in America worth an aggravated assault and armed robbery charge.
Starting point is 01:10:34 It's a shame that I even have to say that. But this is America 2021. If there is not enough cream cheese on your bagel, simply ask for more cream cheese. OK, this is why I push mental health the way that i do this is why i encourage folks to deal with their traumas before they deal with you because this is just a hurt person projecting that hurt on someone else what deep-rooted issues with rejection is omar right dealing with that he would get upset that there is not enough cream cheese on his bagel you allegedly pull a whole gun on a person because it wasn't enough cream cheese on your bagel.
Starting point is 01:11:06 And what makes this story even better is the fact that the woman he pulled the gun on, the Starbucks employee, was the police police chief's daughter. You can't make this kind of stuff up. Chief Delma Noel Pratt told CBS 4 in Florida that the incident was traumatizing for her 23 year old daughter. Police Chief Noel Pratt said his daughter and I quote, she felt she felt in fear of her life. It was upsetting to me to know that someone would go to that extreme, not having cream cheese on his bagel. Do you hear that? Do you hear how insane that sentence even sounds this guy comes back to the drive-thru window allegedly yelling and screaming about his bagel missing cream cheese woman asked him did he pay for it and he allegedly pulled out his gun now omar said he didn't point the gun at her in fact he denied that he said he grabbed onto his gun because it was coming out of his pocket
Starting point is 01:12:02 listen i don't know what the truth is that's for a court of law to find out but i do know a nigga moment when i hear one have y'all forgotten what a nigga moment is well that's what i'm here for boondock season one episode four titled granddad's fight huey freeman broke down what a nigga moment was to a t listen watch where you walking hey what you say watch closely You're about to experience a n**** moment. Webster defines the n**** moment as a moment where ignorance overwhelms the mind of an otherwise logical negro male. Hey, squeeze it, n****. Causing him to act in an illogical, self-destructive manner.
Starting point is 01:12:40 I.e., like a n****. N**** moments are unpredictable. Hey, wait, man, wait. This is stupid. Hey, you an a**hole. Bigger moments are unpredictable. Hey, wait, man, wait. This is stupid. Hey, you right, dawg. Let's put the guns away and go on about our business. Freeze! But they all end up bad. If they had their own category, bigger moments would be the third leading killer of black men behind pork chops and FEMA.
Starting point is 01:13:02 It's a fact. I need y'all to know what these are. Look alive, people, because it's going to be a lot of those moments this summer. All right? Now, think about that. Omar Wright may go to prison for having a nigga moment over a bagel. You took a penitentiary chance over a bagel? Well, I tell you what, Omar, you have to be careful because you are what you eat.
Starting point is 01:13:21 And you don't want to be a bagel in jail. Because according to the Urban Dictionary, a jail bagel is a young man recently sent to jail. You 38, so you're not so young, but you could end up a jail bagel nonetheless. OK, this is how jail bagel is used in a sentence. According to the Urban Dictionary, the jail bagel looks fresh. Hey, man, I don't know why they call young men a jail bagel in prison, but if you have ever seen a bagel, you can imagine why. Butter and jelly, cream cheese.
Starting point is 01:13:51 Well, I promise you, in jail, there will be no shortage of cream cheese for a man's bagel, okay? In fact, there will probably be a lot of cream cheese and strawberry jam on said bagel. And when you're in in there ask yourself one simple question was it worth it please let remi ma give omar right the biggest hee-haw hee-haw hee-haw you stupid mother are you dumb all right you don't want to be nobody's little jail bagel thank you for that donkey today now when we come back, what are you talking about, Yee?

Starting point is 01:18:39 Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about Kim Kardashian. And what did she say, Yee? Yes, and let's be clear.
Starting point is 01:18:57 Kim Kardashian, whose net worth right now is over $1 billion. And while she was on, you know, they're ending keeping up with the kardashians on e and here's what she had to say to andy cohen about that sex tape do you feel that the show would have had its massive initial success without the publicity that surrounded the sex tape looking back probably not have you thought about the time that you're going to have to explain it to any other kids? Absolutely. Or have you had to explain it? I haven't had to as of yet.
Starting point is 01:19:29 And luckily, I think that so many years have gone on and so many things have happened. Yeah. Positively that it really erases that. I try not to have any regrets, but it's probably the one thing that I wish didn't exist. Now, would you do a sex tape if your net worth could be $1 billion and you could be Kim Kardashian status? Shout out to DJ Louis V. He said, man, couples out here making sex tapes for free. Putting a Kardashian price tag on it.
Starting point is 01:19:55 Absolutely. That is true. I guess we know where he stands. There's a lot of couples doing OnlyFans and they're getting nowhere near that. So I'm sure there's a lot of couples that would do it. You're right. There's a lot of couples doing OnlyFans, and they're getting nowhere near that. So I'm sure there's a lot of couples that would do it. You're right. There's a lot of people on OnlyFans. And money.
Starting point is 01:20:08 Yeah, I don't believe that they became the Kardashians and built the empire they had because of the sex tape, though. I don't think she's given her and her family and her team enough credit. A lot of people have sex tapes. They don't build an empire like the Kardashians did. Well, I think it kind of jump-started her popularity, though. That initially made people want to tune into the show, because you have to admit, back then, the reason why people knew her, and she even admitted on the show that she was going to wherever she knew the paparazzi would be.
Starting point is 01:20:33 She just wanted to be famous really badly, and that sex tape did elevate her in the beginning of her career to another level. Yeah, but she already had the reality show deal in place, and, you know, she really did take Paris Hilton's whole motto, because remember, Paris Hilton had a sex tape, and Paris Hilton had the reality show deal in place. And, you know, she really did take Paris Hilton's whole motto. Because remember, Paris Hilton had a sex tape and Paris Hilton had the reality show. And that's what Kim did. But, you know, just her acting like it's just the sex tape that got her in that position. That's not telling the whole story.
Starting point is 01:20:55 I mean, she said it helped. It helped a lot. I thought Paris Hilton's sex tape came after Kim, though. Hell no. I thought it came after also. I thought Paris came after Kim. How? No, Paris was the first one, I think.
Starting point is 01:21:05 Yeah, Paris was the first. There's no way. One night in Paris. Because I remember when Kim used to, Kim Kardashian used to- Used to do her closet. Yes, and she used to come to the Wendy Williams show, and I used to work for Wendy, and she was just the young lady who did Paris Hilton's closets, but she used to be really cool with the homie Nicole Spence, and they used to sit in the office, and she would have those conversations.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Like, she would talk about, you know, Paris' sex tape and Paris' reality show and how she was trying to create the same blueprint. And it worked. Right. In a lot of ways. So would you do it, is all we're asking. Would you do a sex tape if it could elevate your status in that way? No, I wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:21:43 No. I personally wouldn't. But, I mean, you know, to y'all point earlier, we live in a generation that does stuff like that on OnlyFans. So yes, a bunch of them already would. They definitely would. Definitely wouldn't do it. Now, would I make the most of a bad situation?
Starting point is 01:21:56 Like if something like that went out and it got leaked out? Yeah, if you can make some money off it, might as well. Since it's already out there. Isn't that what happened with their situation? I mean, come on. I thought they had to approve it. I know, but it was already out on the line. And it was clearly produced. You could see that that was a produced sex tape. It wasn't like somebody
Starting point is 01:22:14 had their phone. So that was the plan. Yeah, I just think it's very misleading for her. I'm confused. I thought Ray J was holding the camera. Was it? I'm confused. I could have sworn, right? I didn't see the whole tape. I wasn't. I thought Ray J was holding the camera. Was it? I'm confused. I could have sworn, Ray. I didn't see the whole tape. I wasn't. I thought Ray J was holding the camera.
Starting point is 01:22:27 No? I don't know. I just think it's very misleading to act like that sex tape is the only reason. We didn't say it was the only reason, but she said it helped. It's part of the reason. Yeah, she said it really helped her. It didn't help other people. It was mad other people who had sex tapes after that And they didn't get nowhere near
Starting point is 01:22:45 The level of Kim and The rest of the Kardashians did Let's go to the phone lines Hello who's this Hi it's Sydney Hey now would you do a sex tape to get Kim Kardashian money and fame Um hell yes I'm a really nice girl
Starting point is 01:23:01 I thought she was going to say hell no No No yes I will Do you have kids I'm a really miserable I thought she was gonna say hell no no no yes I will look do you have kids would you care if your kids seen your tape
Starting point is 01:23:11 no I don't but it sucks cause I am your phone is breaking up ma'am yeah the way your phone sounds yeah you definitely need
Starting point is 01:23:19 that sex tape money the way your phone sounds jeesh well thank you for calling mama she said so that's another thing when Kim's kids get to a certain age they're gonna see that well that's what she said money to where your phone's at. Well, thank you for calling, Mama. That's another thing. When Kim K's kids get to a certain age, they're gonna
Starting point is 01:23:28 see that. That's what she said she's concerned about. That's the crazy part. That's when you say, you see this house? You see these toys? Yeah, but that ain't worth that. Hello, who's this to me? Oh my God, I'm Amanda. Hey, good morning. Now, would you do a sex tape for Kim K's
Starting point is 01:23:44 fame and money? No, I for Kim K's fame and money? No, I'm not interested in fame and money, but I probably wouldn't do it for that at all. Okay. So no sex tape at all for you. Hi, good morning. Nice to catch you guys on the radio. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:23:59 Thank you. Good morning. And my husband's a big fan of Lamy. We both are. Okay. Shout out to big fan of what we both are. Okay. Shout out to your husband. Thank you so much. All right. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:24:12 We're asking, would you do a sex tape to get Kim K's fame and fortune? Would you do it? Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You know she still makes $360,000 a year for that tape. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Starting point is 01:24:41 Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Kim K. Now, what are we talking about, Yeezy? Would you make a sex tape? Because Kim Kardashian does credit that sex tape that she had with Ray J for really jump-starting her career. So if you could be worth what she is, over a billion dollars,
Starting point is 01:24:56 and that sex tape still makes $360,000 a year for that sex tape, even though it was released in 2007. To this date, she's still making money off of it. Would you do it to be that rich? No, well, we spoke about ourselves. Would you do it, Ye? I don't think I would do a sex tape. You don't think?
Starting point is 01:25:12 I've never even done a homemade one that no one's ever seen. I don't send out naked pictures, so I don't think so. But I don't knock anybody for their hustle if you decide to do that. There's people who do sex tapes, like Louis V said, just off the strength because they want to. Yeah, I just really wish the Kardashians and Jenners would show us how the food is really made. Because trust me, it's a lot more that goes into making them who they are. And it's not because of no damn sex tape. People can learn a lot from their business.
Starting point is 01:25:38 They've done some amazing deals over the past, what, it's been like 12, 13 years now? Yeah, that tape came out in 2007. That's what I'm saying. But they're not saying that's the only reason. She's saying it jump-started things for her. So that made a lot of people tune into the show because they saw that sex tape. Conveniently, she had the show, so that brought it a lot
Starting point is 01:25:58 of attention. That marketing and promotion... I thought she said they wouldn't have the success they had without the show. That show might have got canceled. What if no one watched it? So you're saying you're not sure if you would do it or not? I'm saying I don't think so. I can't see myself doing it just because y'all know I'm like mad conservative. Like I said, I don't even send out naked pictures.
Starting point is 01:26:16 But it's a possibility for you. Who knows? I think what made the Kardashian show so popping was the fact that I didn't know Kim had all that family. Because, you know, I was familiar with Kim because of Paris Hilton because of the sex tape but when you saw that there was this whole family dynamic with her sisters and her brother and the mom and Bruce that's what made the show initially interesting yeah but I think a lot of people didn't know who she was the average person didn't know who she was at all why would you even know to watch that show I mean it was on E! it was a network that wasn't even really popping they put the e on on the map in a lot of ways yeah and that sex tape made people
Starting point is 01:26:49 be like oh i'm gonna tune in he had a lot of shows canceled that was similar to that and a lot of people had a lot of sex tapes that did not pop they did not pop but it was her and ray j so it wasn't like it was a random people well the sex tape ain't pop very off. Well, let's go to the phone line. Hello, who's this? Hey, Tarver. How are you? Would you do a sex tape with your boyfriend if it made you rich and famous like Kim Kardashian?
Starting point is 01:27:17 First of all, I'm not UNDJ Andy. Okay, good point. We still want to see this Bert and Ernie Sesame Street sex tape they're going to do in the bathtub with their rubber ducky. Rubber ducky? Rubber ducky would be a hard name for a sex tape. Rubber. Never mind.
Starting point is 01:27:34 I have a few of them out right now. Okay. I'll be a billionaire. Where can we find it? I ain't uploaded them yet. Yeah. Well, then they're not out right now. Nobody's going to care when you upload them, bro.
Starting point is 01:27:47 It's not going to turn you into a star, I promise you. But can you name that? What would the name of your sex tape be? I don't know. I got to look at them and see which one of the
Starting point is 01:27:56 visions I'm in and I'll just name them after that. How about upload? Upload? Yeah, you all right. Thank you, bro. Have a good one.
Starting point is 01:28:04 Hello, who's this? This is Jay. What's up? What up? I just want to say good morning to the big three. Car companies ain't got nothing on y'all. Word. Y'all the true big three.
Starting point is 01:28:16 All right. Now, would you do that sex tape for some fame and fortune, brother? Even though, you know, kind of tug at me morally, man. I mean, times are hard. Yeah, yeah, I would. I mean, can I blur out the face kind of thing? No. What?
Starting point is 01:28:33 You might want your penis blurred out depending on the size of it. Oh, no. You know what? I already knew you was going to say that. I'm already ready to show you. I'm ready to show you if you want, Charlamagne. Would you like to see it? No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:28:48 Ain't none of that, but whatever. What would your movie be called? What would your movie be called? Anaconda Part 2. You're a liar. Oh, my gosh. Part 2. You're a liar.
Starting point is 01:29:03 Anaconda Part 2. Deep Blue Ocean. Deep what? Deep Blue Ocean. Oh my gosh. Part two. You're a liar. And the part two, deep blue ocean. Deep what? Deep blue ocean. Deep blue ocean. Goodbye, sir. So weird. Goodbye, sir.
Starting point is 01:29:18 What's the moral of the story? I mean, the moral of the story is I just wish that they would tell more about what they do in the business world i'm telling you man yeah that tape might have got them to spark but you don't build the kind of billion dollar empire that the kardashian jennas have just because of a sex tape yeah i think we know that it could have just went away after that but you know it was a catalyst for them so yeah listen my i would say my takeaway from all of this is you know you do you do what you want. I think a lot of people have put whatever content they want out there. People have had things uploaded. So if you can make it into something, do it. If you don't want to do that, you don't have to. It's your body. It's your part. So do you. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes. Let's talk about Dame Dash versus Jay-Z and Rockefeller and this lawsuit over a reasonable doubt NFT.
Starting point is 01:30:07 What's the real tea? All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:30:30 Finally, The Breakfast Club has used their power for some good. Now, NLE Chapa celebrated Father's Day with the song Letter to My Daughter, and we actually showcased the song early on Friday before it came out on Sunday. And fortunately, after showcasing this song, NLE Chapa was able to see his daughter. Here's what he had to say on live. On Friday, June 18th, it was a preview of the song that I dropped today. DJ Envy can confirm, and people who heard it on the radio can confirm. With that being said, I got this invitation to Clover's birthday party on the same day. It wasn't a diss.
Starting point is 01:31:02 If anybody say it was a diss, y'all must ain't heard diss songs. Because if anything, I'm dissing my damn self. Shout out to DJ Envy, Charlamagne, Ansel E, all y'all. Thank y'all. Because without y'all, bro, I would've never got that invitation. Salute to NLE Chop. I like that young man. And I like his evolution. I've seen a lot of
Starting point is 01:31:20 intentional growth from that brother over the years. He's been doing the work. So salute to that young man. Alright, now Ace Hood in the meantime has been having his own issues. He's been doing the work. So salute to that young man. All right. Now, Ace Hood, in the meantime, has been having his own issues. He said his child's mother won't let the children see him because of money on Father's Day. And she responded. Here's what he said.
Starting point is 01:31:38 Today, I do not have my kids. And the reason I do not have my children today is because the mother of my children wants her story to be right, which means her story in her mind is that I am not a good father. My children don't want to spend time with me. I don't support the kids. Also, I'm never there for the children. So that's her story in her mind. And she wants to tear me down also as a person. All of this is because of money. It's because she see me further in myself Wow that you know it's really unfortunate during this period of time when people it's Father's Day a lot of people want to see their kids if you have issues
Starting point is 01:32:17 with the children's mother mm-hmm sometimes that's just not possible and you know she did respond as well and that man owe me 95 000 and he up here talking about it's about money and to him i've been had a house both of my cars is paid you know what that could have did i could have went into pre-turned labor if i was weak but i know the truth and the facts are the facts so at the end of day, for you and your wife to do that for a check for love and hip-hop, that is sad. And Mona, baby, you don't even have a storyline, baby, with them two without me. And then he had the audacity to say, I'm mad he's flourishing. Antoine, you didn't have not one show before the pandemic.
Starting point is 01:32:59 Now all of a sudden you get a PPP loan for $144,000. I'm jealous of you flourishing. Okay. Baby mama, baby daddy drama is horrible. It is the worst, man. I thank God I don't have those issues, man. It is the worst. Goodness gracious.
Starting point is 01:33:17 Now here's some other drama. Dame Dash versus Rockefeller. Rockefeller filed a lawsuit against him for trying to auction off Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt album as an NFT. Now following that news, Dame and Dash told TMZ that Rockefeller's lawsuit is inaccurate. He's not trying to sell Jay-Z's album, but his share of Rockefeller. He said that in March, Jay-Z tried to buy his one-third share at a price that he deemed unacceptable. So now he's looking for a new buyer.
Starting point is 01:33:39 He said under the terms of the deal with a potential buyer, the buyer would buy my share of Rockefeller records and Jay-Z will have exclusive administration rights. So that's the situation. He said it's not an NFT deal. All right. Keeping up with the Kardashians reunion, what did we learn from part two of this reunion? Well, one thing we learned was Kris Jenner was discussing Caitlyn Jenner's transition and how she handled it. How did you get through that period of your life?
Starting point is 01:34:03 When you have kids and these girls being so young and you don't want to share your feelings with everybody because you're so confused. So, you know, you just go to take a shower and cry in the shower and have a martini and, you know, start over the next day. So, but I learned a lot along the way. I think I was so naive and uneducated.
Starting point is 01:34:25 And I realized that I was not considering what Caitlyn was really feeling at the time. Now, another thing was discussed was Khloe Kardashian forgiving Tristan Thompson because he cheated on her right before she gave birth to her daughter. True, they are back together. And according to the show, he worked really hard to get back into her and the family's good graces. But what happened with Jordan, right? Jordan was Kylie's former best friend, Jordan Woods. She was accused of having some type of tryst with Tristan Thompson. Well, here is what Khloe had to say about forgiving Jordan. I personally don't talk to her, but I think she's doing really well in her personal life. I don't have any grudge against Jordan. I think people make mistakes. People live and they learn. And I forgive both parties. How could I forgive Tristan and not Jordan? That
Starting point is 01:35:17 sounds, you know, asinine in my opinion. You do forgive her. I forgive Jordan or else I would be a prisoner in my life. Do you think she'll ever be invited back into the inner circle of the family? I have told Kylie intimately that I would genuinely not care whatsoever if Kylie wants to be her friend again. Oh, parking. All right. I wonder if they would have all that drama around them if they didn't have a reality show.
Starting point is 01:35:43 Like, is that really their life, or is it just more drama because it's always a reality show? Is that really their life or is it just more drama because it's always a storyline going? Well, you never know. It seems like a storyline because you would never invite somebody back in that you thought was messing with your boyfriend, right? No way in hell. Yeah, but I guess if you forgive him,
Starting point is 01:35:59 then how do you not forgive her? You can forgive her, but you still don't want that energy around you or in your house. You can forgive somebody, but you still don't want them near around you or in your house. You can forgive somebody, but just don't want them near you, right? But she said if she wanted to be friends with Kylie still, she wouldn't have an issue with that. She's moved on from it. All right. Well, that is your rumor reports. All right.
Starting point is 01:36:16 Thank you, Miss Yee. Shout out to everybody that went out to the seminar we did over the weekend. I just want to say thank you, guys.
