You with Jay-Z? No, but Jay-Z is the GOAT. And not only because I think he's the best rapper and the best lyricist ever. What he does for mankind and what he does for people, what he does for his community, what he does for the industry. Now, if you haven't heard, Jay-Z created a $15 million trust fund for Nipsey Hussle's kids. Oh, that's amazing. Is that crazy? Like, Jay is that guy.

That's amazing. He is definitely that guy From everything From helping Meek Mill To helping Lil Wayne To helping so many people Behind the scenes He is really that guy He is the

I made it I made it past making it And I'm giving back And remember Nipsey Didn't he say that Jay-Z Bought his album And he didn't say anything To him about it

When he was selling those albums He bought a hundred A hundred albums At a hundred dollars He bought for Nipsey Like Jay is that guy. You know, we all give back and we all do things

to try to help our community. But Jay goes over and beyond and I love it. And I respect him so much. People always say, oh, you're always on Jay's ick. You're always on Jay's ick. Yes, that's the reason why.

Because he does way past more than he's supposed to for our people, for our community. Well, that's amazing. That is amazing. Drop a bomb for Clue one more time. I mean, I said for Clue, for Jay-Z one more time.

I was like, well, Clue did that too? No, no, for Jay-Z one more time. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. R&B artist Her will be joining us this morning. I love her so much. I listen to her in the car all the time. Yes. When I'm having nice long drives, when I'm feeling romantic.

It's really dope. So we're going to kick it with her. And we got front page news. What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about Joe Biden. Now more women have come forward accusing him of some inappropriate behavior. Okay. All right.

We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's Cardi B, please me. All right. Gotta love it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are the Breakfast Club. That was Cardi B with Please Me. Now let's get into some front page Good morning. DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. That was Cardi B with Please Me. Now let's get into some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Let's talk about Joe Biden. He's been accused now by three more women, which means there's a total of seven women who are coming forward with their accounts

of inappropriate touching by him. Now, these women all have very similar stories of unwanted touching. One of them, Joe Biden, introduced her and she was sharing a story about a sexual assault victim who committed suicide. And he responded by holding her hands and placing his forehead on hers. That was also snapped in a photograph, which a lot of people had a chance to see. By placing his forehead on her forehead? Yeah.

Okay, go ahead. And then there was a former White House intern who described similar actions during an encounter when she was walking out of the basement of the West Wing. She said he walked over to shake her hand. She said he then put his hand on the back of my head and pressed his forehead to my forehead while he talked to me. She said, I was so shocked. It was hard to focus on what he was saying. Now, Joe Biden has responded to what these women are saying in a new video. In my career, I've always tried to make a human connection.

I shake hands. I hug people. I grab men and move them by the shoulders and say, you can do this. It's the way I've always been. It's the way I've tried to show I care about them and I'm listening. And now it's all about taking selfies together. You know, social norms have begun to change. They've shifted. And the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset.

And I get it. And I'll be much more mindful. That's my responsibility. But is that sexual? Well, the women are saying it's, some of them are saying it wasn't sexual, but it was inappropriate. It's weird, like somebody just doing that to you. I mean, it seems like that's what he does. It seems like he hugs people.

He holds people close. He embraces people. It doesn't seem like he's putting his hand under their dress or grabbing their ass or grabbing their boobs. It's inappropriate though and it's uncomfortable. Imagine you're an intern and that happens to you and you're not in a position of power and it just feels weird. Well, some people hug

and some people kiss. Would you do that to the interns here? I wouldn't do it, but some people do. For instance, a man has came up to me and gave me a kiss on my cheek and said, I love you. I thought that was awkward and I was uncomfortable, but that is what he did. Right. Well, they're not saying necessarily that it was sexual. They're just saying it was inappropriate.

Then why come out now? Why come out while he's about to put his bid in for presidency? Who knows? And people start sharing stories. But it is something to be aware of. And he's even said that he has to be more aware of the things that he's been doing. He says social norms are changing.

And I've heard what these women are saying. And he said he would be more mindful about respecting personal space. And I think it is important. I don't think you should just randomly go up to people and put your forehead on there. No, I agree. But some people do different things.

I've had people kiss me on both sides, one side of my left cheek and then my right cheek and then give me a hug. I thought that was awkward and strange. I just don't do any of that. Right. had people kiss me on both sides, one side of my left cheek and then my right cheek and then give me a hug. I thought that was awkward and strange. I just don't do any of that. Right. But people do that. And you're an adult so you shouldn't. And he now understands that that was inappropriate and he's not going to do that moving forward. And anyone who's doing those

things at work should be mindful and not do them. Right? Can I give people high fives? Is that alright? Don't try to minimize. I'm not minimizing anything. I just don't know anymore. I don't know how you can greet people. Of course you can give people high fives? Is that all right? Don't try to minimize. I'm not minimizing anything. I just don't know anymore. I don't know how you can greet people. Of course you can give a high five.

Just don't put your forehead on anybody's forehead. Don't kiss anybody. I wouldn't do that. There you go. All right. All right. Now authorities are investigating a teenager. He's now 14 years old.

And when he was six years old, he went missing after his mother took him out of his school, saying there was a family emergency and they went on a three-day road trip. And he was last seen at a water park in Wisconsin. And then he was, I guess, kidnapped, and now he has escaped from his kidnappers. That's what he's saying. He said that he fled a red roof inn where he and the two men who held him for seven years were staying, and he was unsure of where he was, but he did keep running until he ran across a bridge. So now they are investigating just to make sure that this is the young man that went missing, Timothy Pitson.

People were looking for him for years, and the family had always said that they felt that he was alive. So, hopefully now this is him and that he's found. Yeah, that story seems strange. His mother committed suicide, and he said there were some bodybuilders that had him, and they were looking for him,

so, I mean, I'm just glad he's safe. Alright, well, that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. Or if you want to spread some positivity, phone lines, again, are open. 800-585-1051.

So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Tyreon of Mo City. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Yo, man, I just want to give a shout out to Dave and Trader Truth for what they're doing. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Absolutely, man. Shout out to Trader Truth.

Happy anniversary. Yeah, thank you. I mean, a couple years ago, I was going in the wrong direction, doing the wrong thing, you know, and I got a couple friends that are actually locked up, and I'm glad I'm not in that position. I pray for them and their families, but I'm just happy to be in the position that I'm at right now.

And I'm just, you know, thinking about it and I'm encouraging anyone that's, you know, doing the wrong thing to make the kinds of efforts to change the direction and just, you know, start focusing on your friends, your family and getting your bread together. You know, last year alone, I had like a $30,000 pay drop

and I'm grateful to be where I am. That's great. It's been a good space and, you know, I don't know, for some reason And I'm grateful to be where I am. That's great. In a good space. And I don't know, for some reason, I'm really emotional about it. But I'm grateful. And I just want to spread that level of positivity to everyone else. Well, congratulations to you. That's really dope.

Hello, who's this? This is Brent from Indianapolis. Hey, Brent. Good morning, brother. Hey, good morning. I just want to get off my chest. I just think the world is just too s*** anymore And you know, Joe Biden and all that situation

I just want to say Don't come out now about it You didn't say nothing when it happened Don't come out years later I mean if something happens you can talk about it whenever you want If it really happened Yeah but if it was a big deal, talk about it now Don't save it for later

Don't hold it, don't ball it up. Come out now. I just don't like how the media reports it. What you mean? Because the media will be like Joe Biden accused of sexual assault. It wasn't sexual assault. No, they said inappropriate touching. No, the headlines will say sexual assault, another sexual harassment against Joe Biden.

Yeah, it's very misleading. The stories that I reported today just said inappropriate touching. Yeah, once you actually read it. I heard sexual assault too. It didn't say that in the headline either. But he said he hugged her, but he put his forehead to their forehead. Smelled her hair. Yeah, my teeth.

I don't know. Smelling your hair is creepy. That is a little creepy. That is. That's nuts. All right. Phillip. Hello.

Yes. Make Charlamagne excited. Tell him why you're excited. I'm excited because Marvel's Endgame's coming out in 21 days. I got my tickets early. 22 days, sir. Yes, sir. 22 days.

Yes. So I'm watching on the 25th. Oh, he told you a day early, sir. All right. I'm happy for you, my brother. We almost there. We almost there, sir. And I was one of the lucky ones because before, I got him before they shut down the whole thing,

before he crashed. And then one of my coworkers got charged $300 on his bank account for taking that movie or whatever. You paid $300 for in-game tickets? No, no, no. He got charged because of the crash or whatever. Oh, got you, got you. He got them back, but he had to charge $300.

I don't understand why people are so into this Avengers movie. Just me? Because you're not a Marvel fanatic. I'm not. You just started getting hyped. He just started getting hip to it during Black Panther. He don't know that we've been here for the past 10 years. He's still not really hip to it.

He's just like Black Panther. I just like Black Panther. He don't know that we've been here for the past 10 years. He's still not really hip to it. He's just like Black Panther. I just like Black Panther. That's it. He don't know that it's a whole universe, that they've been doing this for 10 years. There's tickets on eBay

right now for 2K. That's right, baby. Who would buy that? Yeah, that's ridiculous. Fanatics would. Just wait till it calms down and then go see it. Yeah, pretty much.

No, no. There'd be too many spoilers by that point. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Get it. Pick up the mother-mother phone and dial. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So you better have the same energy.

Bernie! Yo, what up? That's a fake name. But yo, what's going on, man? Wait, you better have the same energy. Birdie! Yo, what up? That's a fake name. But yo, what's going on, man? Wait, you gave us a fake name? What's up, fake Birdie? Well, why did you give us

a fake name and then tell us it was a fake name? Because it doesn't really matter. My job doesn't really listen to this job. Okay, there you go. I didn't call out

for no specific reason. Anyway, what I'm trying to bring to y'all is so I was watching an Al Sharpton interview a couple hours ago and yo, I noticed that y'all got some so I was watching an Al Sharpton interview a couple hours ago, and yo, I noticed that y'all got some action figures

in the background doing some weird, crazy stuff, man. I'm like, yo, what's going on? What are you talking about? Yo, if you watch the Al Sharpton video, the interview that y'all did yesterday, in the background, y'all got two action figures doing some lewd activities. Like the National Action Network?

I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what's going on, bro. But I do know that... No, no. On YouTube, Al Sharpton was doing an interview with y'all. What was Al Sharpton doing? You said Al Sharpton was doing a lewd act? You bugging, bro. We gotta go by, man.

I don't know what he was talking about. They got a terrible article about Al Sharpton in the New York Post this morning. I read that this morning. And they're saying that the Democrats, why are they scared to piss off Al Sharpton and all that? They said he's bowing down to a clown. They called him a clown. Really? And you said Breitbart.

They said ignore past of racism, anti-Semitism. I'll be at his luncheon today. I'm going to be at the National Action Network today. I got a panel about mental health at the National Action Network today at 1145. And I'll be at the Women's Mansion today supporting as well. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's going on? Good morning. Good morning. Gio. What's up, Gio?

Good morning. What's up, Envy Ben? Good morning, Angela. Good morning. How you doing? What's happening, my brother? He said, welcome to work. Just this the front page news that Angela Yee put out, it kind of, you know, it kind of bothering me. You know, we got Joe Biden, a very, very, very smart man who I've had the pleasure of my lot of work of meeting several times.

And we got these women coming out here just saying this nonsense. You're uncomfortable because of what? Because he puts his hand on your shoulders? Like, I just feel like. Well, it wasn't just putting his hand on the shoulder. He was putting his forehead to their forehead And it was a little uncomfortable That's all they're saying What are you uncomfortable about?

Like you've had your moment If the incident happened for you to say something I think that what people have to understand Is also the dynamics of when somebody's in a position of power And you're an intern Or something like that And somebody does something weird to you In the spur of the moment You don't know how to react.

I think all men should react to this the way Joe Biden is reacting to it. Joe Biden said, look, I don't know if I was being inappropriate, but if they say I'm being inappropriate, I'm going to stop and listen. I think we got to learn from other people's mistakes. So if women say they feel like that was inappropriate, then we got to learn from that. And nobody's saying that they were assaulted. They're just saying that he did things that made them uncomfortable. Yeah, I mean,

I just feel like this man is about to put this country back on where it needs to be going, and now we have all this stuff going on. But if the picture came out two years ago, okay, I've seen it. Why would you say something now? Like, what makes you right now? Well, it's because he's about to run for president.

But I'm going to tell you something. I'm more concerned about the fact that Joe Biden actually wrote the 94 crime bill. Because all of y'all was giving Hillary so much flack for just being married to Bill Clinton and Bill Clinton passed it. Joe Biden actually wrote it. All right? That's what I'm more concerned about. Well, I'm concerned about everything. These women have issues. And I'm happy that he says that he will be more mindful.

And I think that's important. And that's how people should, like you said, that's how people should react. Okay. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Nayee, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we'll talk about Nipsey Hussle, the man who is accused of murdering him. Eric Holder will tell you what's going on

as he is in solitary confinement. All right. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Nipsey Hussle. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So Nipsey Hussle's alleged murderer Eric Holder is behind bars.

Of course, as you know, his bill was set at over $7 million, so it doesn't look like he's getting out anytime soon. And he's also in solitary because, of course, they're scared that he's going to get killed because, of course, he is a target while he's in jail. They say he will remain in solitary once he's transferred to L.A. County Jail while he waits for his trial. Well, he made himself a target by assassinating a great black man like Nipsey Hussle.

So I don't think that he should be in solitary confinement. You know what I'm saying? Go out there. Survival of the fittest. Throw him to the wolves. Now, Nipsey Hussle, according to reports, was in the middle of getting a friend of his who just got out of jail after 20 years some clothes. That's why he hadn't told anybody. He just decided to bounce over to his store, his marathon store, and get his

friend some clothes so he could look good before meeting up with his own family and friends later on in the day. So he was trying to do something nice for one of his boys. That's why he didn't notify his team. He didn't tell his security, anybody that he was going to the store by himself. Now, Nipsey's bodyguard posted about his loss. Jay rocked the bodyguard.

He said, never in a million years I thought I'd be writing some ish like this. We haven't made a hundred million yet. We were supposed to grow old and I call you big no, shoot jokes on you all day. But instead, I'm here in tears writing this. I wish I was there. I would switch places with you any day. The world needs you here. I'm so confused,

lost, hurt. I lost a brother, best friend, a mentor. All I can hear you saying now is if it was me, I would tell you, live your life and grow. I can't even front, man. It's been hard to sleep this week because I accidentally saw the video of the surveillance video of Nipsey getting shot at. Nipsey getting killed.

Yeah, him getting killed. And, you know, seeing that on top of the confusion of him being killed has really had my energy messed up all week. Because people just passing that trauma along like it's normal. And it's really hard to convince people that you get the energy back that you put out when you see what happened to the good brother, Nipsey Hussle. Like, how can you tell somebody, oh, if you put out good energy, you get good energy back. But you see how he ended. Like, that's, nah, I don't know.

I'm confused about a lot of things. Now, other artists are delaying their album releases because of Nipsey Hussle. YG posted, I was dropping a surprise album April 12th, but man, now that we got a deal with Big Bro going to heaven, I will not drop the album this month. Pushing it to May, sorry.

Long live Nipsey Hussle, my brother from the other color. And Schoolboy Q actually said first that he would grieve in private, but now he has released a series of video clips on his story on Instagram. He said he's also pushing back his album's release date. This was a glitch in the Matrix, man. I know people say everything happens for a reason,

but I don't see the reason in this one. Here's Schoolboy Q. Y'all got the game f***ed up. If y'all think I'm trying to put out music tomorrow, I'm not putting out no music tomorrow it's not cool thank you to iheart radio for understanding that and they pulled it down so thank you nobody should be putting out nothing out this week like i mean next week maybe or some like top of the week or something we can do that all right now in the meantime nipsey nipsey

hustle's music streams hit 57 million on Monday, and Victory Lap was the number one on iTunes album chart as well. And people are buying physical copies of the album. Also, 2,000 copies of his album were purchased the day he died. Everybody's buying the albums as well. Everything happens for a reason, and sometimes the reason is because we live in a world with evil people, evil people who have a whole lot of pain they haven't dealt with,

and they redistribute that pain to others. And he owns his masters, so he gets a majority of that money when people download and buy it, right? Well, his kids now. His kids and his wife. I want to address the story you told earlier, because we're trying to figure out whether or not this is true about Jay-Z creating that $15 million trust fund for Nipsey Hussle's kids,

because it sounds like something Jay-Z would do. Yeah, but it don't look true because it didn't come from a reliable source. I seen Sean Peck has posted it. Once I seen Sean Peck has posted it, I was like and Biggs posted it. Yeah, but the website they got it from is known for putting up a lot of fake stories. But I mean, I can understand why you would think it was real if Peck

has and Biggs posted it. That's his guys. Right hand and left hand guys. But there's some people that are saying that's a rumor and they're saying it doesn't take two days to set up a trust fund. I don't know. I mean, it does sound like something Hov would do, but I don't think

that story's true. But maybe it is. Maybe that's the good idea. Or maybe that's the plan. Yeah, maybe that's something good to put in the universe. Right. Maybe he will feel like,

you know what, that is something I would like to do. I don't know. All right, in the meantime, J.R. Smith got a Nipsey Hussle tattoo as a tribute

to him as well. I've seen that. Yeah, it looks really good. It looks really dope. Where the hell J.R. Smith got a Nipsey Hussle tattoo as a tribute to him as well. I seen that. Yeah, it looks really good. It looks really dope. Where the hell J.R. Smith got room for tattoos at? That's a good question. Well, look, there's a clear spot wherever it was. We can't tell where it is.

It's on his leg. Seems like he got tattoos everywhere. It's on his right leg. J.R. Smith looks like a subway in Harlem. He is covered in tattoos. Oh, and here's a good story. Amber Rose announced that she is pregnant. Yeah, she is having a baby boy with her boyfriend.

The dude that works with Def Jam? Yes, Alexander Edwards. He's the vice president of A&R at Def Jam. Her boyfriend looks like her brother. She's pregnant. She said, A.E. and I are super excited to announce that we have a sweet little baby boy on the way. P.S. Sebastian is so happy to be a big brother. And he also shared the same photo on his Instagram page.

And he said, even when it's dark, my sun will shine. Thank you, baby, for my greatest gift. Ish Wild, I love you. I can't wait to thug it out with my baby boy. And baby boy, I promise I won't get mad if your first words are, where the bitch is at? Huh? That's how you know people are being loved, though.

When we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about, Ye? We are going to be talking about a teenager who was missing. And for 70 years, people didn't know if he was dead, if he was alive, what happened, and now he has turned up, allegedly. All right, he's a tethered. Hey, her coming next hour, too, right? Yeah, her will be joining us next hour.

R&B artists are her. Phenomenal R&B artists. Yeah, so we'll kick it with her next hour. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast

Club. Let's get to the front page news. What are we talking about first, Shea? Well, let's talk about a teenage boy. He was found by police in Newport. He said he is Timothy Pitson. Timothy Pitson disappeared in Illinois 70 years ago, and police are now working to confirm his identity. They have not publicly said whether or not it is him yet.

Now, the police who assisted in the investigation did release a report, and they said today he is 14 years old. He was six years old when he went missing. His mother was later found dead in Rockford, Illinois. They said she committed suicide and wrote a letter, you'll never find my son, but he's safe. Right. So I don't know what's going on.

This whole story seems a little crazy. But Timothy's family Including Timothy's family Including his father Had continued searching for him Even after his mother Was found dead At a hotel At a motel

Now the aunt said And I know in my heart He's absolutely alive A hundred percent I know he's out there We just have to find him So we will see If that is him

Can he talk? Yeah he talks He said that the people That took him Are bodybuilder types. He said he was stuck in a red roof inn for seven days. And it was some type of... But he didn't know where the red roof inn was.

So they're trying to figure out which one it is. They've been going to all the different red roof inns. And they have a description of the truck with Wisconsin plates. So the guy can talk. Is he carrying gold scissors? Teenager. Is he carrying gold scissors? He told police he escaped his captors.

Does he have a taste for rabbit? And that's when he ran across a bridge into Kentucky. So they said you can only imagine the challenges we're going through in the process of identifying who he is. Got to make sure he's not a tether. He said one of the men who kidnapped him had a spider web tattoo on his neck. The other had a snake tattoo on his arms. Envy. That could be envy.

I don't have no tattoos on my neck. You have a spider web tattoo. Not on my neck. All right. Now. Envy. Just going to envy. I don't have no tattoos on my neck. You have a spider web tattoo. Not on my neck. All right, now. Envy, just going to throw it on me, huh? Let's talk about Joe Biden. Now, seven women all together have come forward to say that he inappropriately touched them and they were uncomfortable. Okay, and here is how Joe Biden responded to these women who are saying that's what happened to them.

In my career, I've always tried to make a human connection. I shake hands. I hug people. I grab men and move them by the shoulders and say, you can do this. It's the way I've always been. It's the way I've tried to show I care about them and I'm listening. And now it's all about taking selfies together. You know, social norms have begun to change. They've shifted.

And the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset. And I get it. And I'll be much more mindful. That's my responsibility. All right. The irony of this is Joe Biden created the culture he is a target of. Remember when he was a vice president and he was trying to remake the rules of sexual culture on college campuses? And he said his goal was to remake sexual culture on campuses and in society

and that's exactly what the Me Too movement is. So he's living in the world of accusation that he helped create. Right. And I get it. Like, you know,

he said maybe he looked at it differently than how they looked at it. Yes, and if someone tells you that you made them uncomfortable, you can't tell them they're lying. And that's what I be

trying to tell dudes. Like, that's not our place to say. If a girl says, hey, you made me uncomfortable or that was inappropriate, then that's what they feel. You can't say, oh, no, that wasn't inappropriate. Yeah, but the news makes it seem like he sexually harassed somebody. Yeah, the language is a little crazy.

When they say sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, you think like, you know, crazy stuff. Like, really, really crazy stuff. Absolutely. Right, well, for these women, he just is in their personal space and they were made to feel uncomfortable. And that's what the issue is. FYI. Okay.

All right. That's how I feel when I see old white men in the gym, when they just be naked walking around and they just be coming all close to you. Like, man, bruh. There's a lot of space in there. They don't come close to me. I don't know about you. Of course, in the gym, if you don't like to see naked people changing,

you got to go change in the bathroom. That is the bathroom. I feel the same way. Like, they just walk around. Yeah,'t know about you. And plus in the gym, if you don't like to see naked people changing, you gotta go change in the bathroom. That is the bathroom. I feel the same way. Like, they just walk around. Yeah, I'm with you. If you want a bitch putting your shoes on and then the old white guy just comes right by you and puts his leg up, starts drying his leg off and you see his little old meat. You know what I mean? Like, man, come on, man. Would it be different if it wasn't

an old white guy, maybe like a young... Okay, here you go. A young diesel guy. A young spry black man. Would that make you feel better? No, it would not. Would that turn you on? So why do you keep saying that? Because that's what I usually see. That's what you see in the gym. The older white men.

Well, that's your front page news. Now, when we come back, R&B singer Her will be joining us. We'll kick it with Her when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club Good morning DJ Envy Angela Yee

Charlamagne Tha God We are the Breakfast Club We got a special guest In the building Yes sir Her What's up Good morning Her

Good morning How are you I'm good It's bright and early It is You don't like getting up this early You know I'm not a morning person But I just came back from the UK

So I'm good Okay So congratulations to you Because you've been having a phenomenal past couple years. Amazing, yeah. Thank you, thank you. Yeah, it's been crazy, honestly. So how many instruments do you play?

I play mainly guitar, keys, bass, and drums. Damn. Let's start from the beginning. A lot of people don't know, how did you get into the music industry? I know you were signed at like the age of 14. How did you start? How did you get into the industry? Man, I mean, it's a long story, but I've been doing music for a really long time. My dad was a

musician just for fun. And I was singing as a young kid and things just happened the way they were supposed to happen. The stars kind of aligned for me. And I was doing meetings and stuff at a very young age. People saw me, you know, singing and playing Alicia Keys songs as a young girl, like on YouTube and stuff. And eventually I got signed to RCA when I was 14 saw me, you know, singing and playing Alicia Keys songs as a young girl, like on YouTube and stuff. And eventually I got signed to RCA when I was 14. And, you know, I had the time to develop

and figure out who I was as a person growing to... They held you that long? Yeah. Oh, absolutely. They would have dropped you. Oh, pretty much. I mean, you know,

when you're 14, you don't know who you are yet. You don't know even who you want to be. Who's seen the talent that early? Man, I mean, my parents, number one.

But there were so many people. MBK Entertainment, you know, they built Alicia Keys' career. Jeff Robinson is my manager. He kind of gave me that creative space. And we were kind of like going against, you know, what RCA, you know, it was like a

push and pull as far as what was going to happen for me. You know what I mean? It was like I wanted to make sure far as what was going to happen for me you know what i mean it was like i wanted to to make sure that i was in complete control of my situation as it you know my management team and so i had the creative space to just figure out myself and figure out my sound and who who and what i was going to represent can you really grow as a human at 14 with a record deal like can you really grow i mean i did because I was going to regular school. And then I would come to New York for like a week or two weeks and record and work with people and then go back to school.

What were you singing about at 14? You know, it's so funny. I wrote a song called Curious. I wrote about people being in my business, like my parents, stuff like that. No boyfriends, parents. They weren't in your business. It's called being a parent. Right, exactly. No like stuff like that. No boyfriends, parents. They weren't in your business. It's called being a parent. Right, exactly.

No boyfriend stuff, though. No, no, no boyfriend stuff. So you wrote all your own music? Absolutely. Absolutely. I've been a writer. I'm a poet, you know, as well as a writer. And I kind of, you know, they go hand in hand.

And you never got discouraged being signed so early and not really taking off to that later? No, absolutely. I mean, you know, after a few years, it's like, okay, when am I going to put out music? When am I going to figure this out? Who am I, you know, what am I going to do as far as my career is concerned? And so when I graduated high school, or before I graduated high school,

I'm like, am I going to go to college or am I going to be in this music thing 100%? So there were frustrations there, you know, and watching everybody else that was signed to my management company, you know, and watching everybody else that was signed to my management company. You know, it was K. Michelle and Brandy and Alicia Keys and Elle Varner and all these people, Justine Skye, like all these great artists doing their thing

and me kind of like sitting on the sideline, you know, at their shows, kind of like waiting my turn. Like, okay, pretty soon I'm going to have music out. I'm going to be doing shows. I'm going to be doing this. And yeah, I was just, I was being patient. And I finally decided like, alright, I'm going to just be in this 100%. My parents supported me.

What does a teenager know about patience? Right. What did I know about patience? I don't know, man. I just, I love music so much and there was nothing else I wanted to do. I feel like, you know, as a young child with the label telling you, you should be like this and you should be like that. Like that would be hard in your formidable years because

everybody's trying to tell you what to be instead of just letting you be. Man, it's definitely difficult and that's why I always preach to people like no matter what anybody tells you, surround yourself with people that are going to embrace who you are and see the potential in what you can be and not what you should be or something

that is modeled, you know, like something that you should be modeled after, you know, or manufactured into, you know, that was my whole thing. Like, I'm going to just find my voice and figure out my truth and, you know, present that. What made you hide your identity for so long? I mean, it wasn't so much of a hiding my identity. It was more so like focusing on the music. Like, I didn't want people to know how old I am.

I didn't want people to know how old I am I didn't want people to know my you know ethnicity and I didn't want people to like see my face you know or or have any assumption you know we focus on all the superficial things and what's happening now and I just wanted people to focus on the music and the message and now people of all ages have kind of taken my music and made it their diary you know like oh they feel connected to it because they don't know anything about me, you know. The label had to be against that, though. You know what? They weren't.

They weren't. At first, it was kind of like, uh, okay, but they weren't. They definitely kind of, like, helped make the vision come to life. Like, it was... It was a nice different type of rollout because we're used to seeing people just, we got to get you everywhere. We got to get you on this remix.

We got to get your face on the cover of this. We have to make sure your social media is popping. Right. And you didn't have to get you everywhere. We got to get you on this remix. We got to get your face on the cover of this. We have to make sure your social media is popping. And you didn't have to do those things. I started off with zero followers. I made my Instagram page the day that I released my music and it just grew organically. I really feel like I grinded it out. I

didn't want a quick radio hit. I just wanted to do shows and have people fall in love with me and my artistry and not just one song or, you know, not just one thing or my face or whatever. You know, I wanted it to be about the music and my truth, my story. We talk about a lot of the celebrities that loved you and started following you. And I heard you tell a story about the day you spoke to Michael Jackson. Yeah.

Tell that story. Crazy. So I was 10 or 11 years old. I was like 11 years old and I met Rodney Jerkins in Los Angeles and he had a studio in Burbank and me and my parents

went to the studio and we left the studio. He was telling us about, you know, his Michael stories and this and that working with Michael and we left the studio.

We got to the corner at the stoplight and he was running down the street. Rodney Jerkins. No, Rodney Jerkins. Rodney's big. Rodney's small. He don't look like, you know, the type of guy who would be running down the street. Damn, you saying he don't do no cardio? What does that type of guy look like? He doesn't do no cardio.

So he was running down the street. He got to us in the car and we were like, why is he running? So we pulled over to the side, and he held out a phone. It was a flip phone. He held out this flip phone, and I was like, hello? He was like, hey, this is Michael. You know, I'm a big fan of you. I think you're so talented, this and that.

I want to meet you. I was like, what? And unfortunately, it never happened. And then, like, you know, less than a year later, he passed away. But crazy. Me and my mom were like crying. My mom was like, oh my gosh. Like she was planning on going to his last concert that he was going to have in the UK.

All that stuff. So you had music out at 11? No, he saw videos of me playing and singing. Yeah. And then you met Janet? I did. She came to my show in London. She came to my show. Did you know she was in the building? Was one of those things And then you met Janet? I did. She came to my show in London. She came to my show.

Did you know she was in the building? Was one of those things like, you know, Janet's here. I heard she was coming, but I didn't know that she was going to come. And then when they were like, Janet's here,

we were all like, what do we do? Like, okay, act natural. You know, like, what do we do? And everybody was kind of crazy and I was like playing it cool. Like, what's up, Janet?

You gave Janet a head nod. I did, I did, I did. I was like, hey, nice to meet you.enny like janet i did i did i did i was like hey nice to meet you jenna probably more shy than you yeah she was very like quiet but then when everybody left the room and it was just the two of us we had like our time and she was like talking to me and opening up a little bit i was like wow what jewel does she give you does she give you any jewels no no i mean not really she was just she was just telling me that that she was proud of me she was telling me that i helped her get through her pregnancy. Wow. Yeah. Crazy. She said, you know, when she was in her house going through it or whatever, she was listening to my music.

All right. When we come back, we have more with her. Matter of fact, let's get into her joint. This is Focus. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club We have R&B recording artist Her, that was her joint focus Now Charlamagne, how did your career change when you revealed your identity? I didn't really reveal it They were speculating, oh you know who that is

Right, right, I mean I never was like, hey ta-da, you know what I mean? Here I am, good face Right, right, exactly, I mean you see me a lot more And at this point, I don't think it even matters who I am, what my name is or anything, because people are in love with the music. That was the point to begin with. And people are still falling in love with it, regardless of knowing what I look like or anything.

So nobody can slide in your DMs, huh? No. Why? No, no. People be sliding in my DMs. You know, you get the little requests sometimes. Oh, you be checking them? Sometimes. Depends, you know the little requests sometimes. Oh, you be checking them? Sometimes.

Depends, you know. Why don't you follow nobody? Because I'm not really like a, you know, I don't really be on social media like that. She don't want to see all that mess on her timeline. Right, right. I still keep up, you know, a little bit. It's on the Explore page, but I don't really, you know. People start getting salty, like, why don't you follow me back?

Or why, you know. You can't follow Daniel Caesar or nobody Nah I'm not following anybody Do you miss the What's the word? Anonymity There you go You know what I'm talking about Just say being anonymous

Sometimes Anonymity Sometimes I guess I expected this You know I kind of mentally prepared For whatever would happen

I'm just happy to do music You know It doesn't matter I think sometimes I do like I try to be low key You know I take the glasses off

Because if I have them on They recognize me And put my hair back Walk around like Wait a minute That's And I'm like You know

Like my cover's blown So how do you deal with relationships now? Because it's different now. Now they know who you are. They know your face. I don't know. It's hard to know if somebody really loves you for you. They don't. You know what? Not anymore. You know what? There are people out there

that's so negative. That is so negative. The truth. You gotta be very very careful Honestly whatever it is Whatever situation I get into Love takes time When people show you Who they are

You pay attention You ever had any Corny lines like Hey her I wanna be your him Yeah all the time They always do that Actually some

An artist did come out as him I'm talking about a guy Trying to holler at her Yes All the time All the time Shalami's thinking about His corny lines

That he would have had back in the day. What's the corniest one? That is the corniest one. That's the one. You hit it right on the nose. Right. How do you respond to that? I don't respond.

I just be like, oh, okay, all right. I can't hear out of the side of my head. What made you name yourself after a whole pronoun? So it's kind of a long story, but when I was, you know, 15, 16, I used to, you know, look at other women, my high school, or like people I consider my big sisters, and I would say, I'm never going to, you know, make the mistakes that they're making.

I'm never going to fall in love with this guy and fall for the wrong guy and all this stuff, right? And I became her. I became that girl. Plus, we have to go through things on our own sometimes. Absolutely. You watch people make mistakes, and you would wish we could learn from the mistakes of other people,

but sometimes you're in something, and you're like, how did I get here? Exactly. I'm here. Well, it's like you got a little bit of other women in you, so to speak. I mean, I would say. Like, I am her, kind of. Right. So we we all as women

when we're you know even from high school to adulthood we experience similar changes we have shared experiences right we have feelings we've all fell for that wrong guy or that guy that was no good and we knew it was no good. So it's just that connection that all women have. And when are we getting some new music? When are we getting the album? Soon.

I'm working on it right now. The debut album. So what's your, how do you focus on it? Hold on, this is your debut? Yeah. With all of the other projects? I mean, there were EPs.

Everything that was happening was so unexpected. Jesus Christ. I literally dropped it. Yeah, it's amazing that you could just put out music like that though nowadays. Like it doesn't even have to be here's my first album could just put out music like that, though, nowadays. Like, it doesn't even have to be, here's my first album.

You put out EPs, EPs, tease the people. I mean, you have to. Then you get forgotten about. So what's the difference for you between doing an album and doing EPs? I'm not sure because people are treating my EPs like it's an album, you know? So what I thought was an EPs or what I thought was an album is apparently not. But this is kind of going to be not specific to a certain time. I think it's going to be my perspective from young up until this point.

I feel like you've been through so much in relationships from listening to your music. You know, the funny thing about it is like I really like it's really not that deep, like anything that I've ever been through. But for me, it's always that deep. It feels deep. Like, it's always that deep. Like, I feel everything to like the 10th power. You know, I'm just emotional cancer.

Oh, God. Me too, baby. 629. Oh, wow. 627. We feel everything. And it's only gonna get worse as you get older. Oh, boy.

Thank you. You're gonna run over a squirrel and be like, and start crying. I'm serious. I'm serious. I'm serious. And that's going to make for great music. So what would somebody say it's like?

Running over a squirrel? Why would you want to write about that? You're sicko. What would somebody say that it's like to date you? If somebody that dated you would be like,

well, she was like this. She was, are you a very clingy person? Are you detached? Are you a big clingy person? Are you detached? I'm definitely kind of needy until the other person's needy. No, I'm definitely kind of needy. I take care of the people I love. So I'm definitely trying to make sure you're good regardless.

You're a cancer. Exactly. That's what we do. You're sensitive, you're emotional, you care about your people. Very sensitive. But don't cross them. Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely. That's another thing. You're emotional. You care about your people. But don't cross them. Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely.

That's another thing. People know. If anything goes down, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm definitely not one to play with. And we petty. We always got to constantly check our petty. I hate to admit it, but yeah, that's true. What's the last petty thing you did to somebody who crossed you?

Oh, all right. I don't know. No. You're from the West Coast. Just make sure it's legal. What's the last petty thing you did to somebody who crossed you? Oh, all right. I don't know. No. You're from the West Coast. Just make sure it's legal. You know, right? Just make sure it's legal. No, I don't know.

Oh, now you don't know. That's a good question. I don't know. Do you feel like your two Grammys validated you more as an artist, or did you care? No, I don't think it validated me. I definitely think it was a milestone. If anything, it was for me. You know, sometimes, especially when you're young

and you're sensitive about your art, you question yourself. You have your doubts and you're like, okay, am I doing the right thing? Is this where I'm supposed to be? I'm really hard on myself. So that was kind of like confirmation. Like, okay, you're doing the right thing. You're exactly where you're supposed to be. You made the right decisions.

Just be in the moment. I see Barack Obama put you on his favorite list in 2018. And that's another thing that made me feel like, okay, I'm doing something right because Obama's listening to me. What if Trump was listening to you? How would you feel about that?

What if Trump was like, yo, her is fire. What if he tweeted that out? Then I would post FDT or my, or my page. You know, from Nipsey

and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,

and, and, exactly. Oh, you're from LA, right? Well, I'm from the Bay Area. You know that dance Nipsey and YG Exactly Oh you're from LA right? Well I'm from the Bay Area See people in New York always think California is just LA Nah just Charlamagne He just got it wrong

I didn't know you were from the Bay Valeo Yeah How did Nipsey's death impact you? Being from the West? It's really sad because when you see somebody doing really good

for the community and they're gone, it's just like, you feel like there's a missing piece. That's kind of how I felt. Yeah, it feel weird, right? Like this one,

this one hits a little different. Yeah, it's a bit different. It affected everybody in some way. Just the energy kind of changed when we all found out. Her got to get up out of here guys you believe 10 minutes ago I've been ignoring the label over here tapping me. What white outlet are they rushing you off to?

You know what I don't know where we going. They want you to be on time for the white outlet but it just breathes you through the black ones. I will always make time that's why I'm still here right now. But just think about that when you go to your next outlet and you're in there with all those white people. You'll be like, damn, they really did rush me out of the black outlet to bring me over. You know what? To play guitar.

Dance. All right? Oh, my goodness gracious. Well, Herb, thank you for joining us. Thank you, Herb. Thank you. Good luck with everything. Thank you so much.

Yes, it was a pleasure. We're so happy. And thank you for your donation that you made to Change for Change. You were actually the first person to call up and make a donation when we did our fundraiser.

Oh, wow. That was her? That's crazy. Thank you. Oh, my goodness. That's her. That was her. Thank you, guys.

Appreciate it. It's the Breakfast Club. It's her. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Hey, I want to salute the Claflin University in Orangeburg, South Carolina. I was there yesterday for their Calabash. We had a mental health and hip-hop forum yesterday in their auditorium. What was it? The W.V. Middleton Fine Arts Center. Okay. So salute everybody at Claflin University. Drop on the clues box for Claflin.

This is good. South Carolina, right? Yes, sir. South Carolina. Orangeburg, Oldburg. I love having those mental health discussions. Having another one today, actually, too, at Reverend Al Sharpton's National Action Network Convention.

I'll be there this afternoon. Okay. You're going by there, too, right? Yeah, I'll be at the Women's Empowerment Luncheon. So shout out to Charisse from Revolt. She actually was like, come with us. So I'm going with them. We're going to National Action Network.

I love these women's empowerment events that I've been going to and people have been having. It does have such a nice sense of solidarity. People always have this misconception that women are so competitive with each other. We're so petty. We talk about each other. But I find that women have been my biggest cheerleaders. Well, you can't generalize nobody. You know what I'm saying? People always say that.

They're like, oh yeah, I know it's hard for you to work around. People say that all the time and it's not true. It's a combination of all of it. It's all true. You know what I mean? Two things can be true. Like some people can be petty and some people can be supportive and loving. That's true. I think the main thing though is that women do, they do try to pit women against each other. Like in a lot of

situations I've been in, they'll say, oh, well, you know it's going to be hard because she's going to feel funny because you're a woman. Or they'll be like, oh, you know she's coming for your spot. You know if she works there, that's going to happen. I've never felt like that. But that's why you got to make everybody hug at all of these functions. That's my thing now. When you come out

to these town halls that I be doing on mental health, everybody got to hug. What if Joe Biden's there? Everybody hug. But see, I be making the men hug the men, though. Because the men, we don't tell each other that we love each other enough. And we don't tell each other that we value each other enough. You know what I'm saying? A bunch of us be hurt.

And we be in pain. And we just be redistributing that pain to each other. So sometimes you got to look at your brother in the eye and say, I love you, man. Like, hug, right? Like, Envy, I love you. There you go. I've never heard you tell Envy that. Envy, I love you.

Come give me a hug. All right, come here. Wait, hold on. Before you do that, tell him you love him, too. No, let me give a hug first. He's too hard. Envy, I love you. There you go. I've never heard you tell Envy that. Envy, I love you. Come give me a hug. All right, come here. Wait, hold on. Before you do that, tell him you love him too. No, let me give a hug first. He's too hard. Let me give a hug first. Let me give a hug.

Envy, you're too hard. Hug me. Hug me. Oh, yes. I love you. Oh, yes. I love you. I love you.

All right, no pelvic to pelvic now. Everybody cool out. All right. See, that's what I'm talking about. Wow. See, brothers be acting tough for no reason. Why everybody so tough for no reason? Right. Hug your brother. Tell him you love him. Wow. See, brothers be acting tough for no reason. Why everybody so tough for no reason? Right.

Hug your brother, tell him you love him. I hate when y'all are hard for no reason. Okay. You know what I mean. You see, we kept both of our hips away from each other, right? Wow. You didn't see that? But see, I don't need...

But I'm serious, though. Like, for real, we got to start telling each other that we love each other and we value each other and we appreciate each other more. Because a lot of times people be in pain because they be having a lack of love. So if you don't have enough self-love, I got more than enough self-love and I can pour from my cup to fill you up. Did you say it to

the white camera guy? Who? Steve. He has a name. His name is Steve from Revolt. I said brothers. Black men to black men. It ain't all about them. We all include everybody else. Why can't we love each other?

Why can't you hug Steve? See, that's y'all problem right there. Y'all see, segregation messed y'all all up. You can't hug Steve. I mean, integration messed y'all up. You don't like Steve. Steve, go give Charlamagne a hug. He wants a hug.

I don't want to hug Steve. I thought you had enough from your cup to fill his. I want to hug my brother, okay? I'll hug my fellow black man and tell him I love him, okay? Did you hug Eddie? Yeah, Eddie. I love you, bro. Yeah, go hug Eddie, man.

Go ahead, hug Eddie. Go ahead, hug Eddie. There you go. There you go. All right, there you go. Did you hug Dramos? What about Dramos? I appreciate it.

Dramos Puerto Rico. Come here, Dramos. Just want to make sure. Black and brown. Black and brown. Black and brown community. That's right. Give him a hug. Bear to bear. Give him a bear. All right, there you go. All right, there you go. All right, all right. Get and brown. Black and brown. Black and brown community. That's right. Give him a hug.

Bear to bear. Give him a bear. All right. I feel that bear. All right. All right. Get out my way, Steve. Did you miss anybody?

No. I got everybody. Okay. Get out my way. We got rumors on the way? Get out my way, Steve. Yes. Let's talk about an April Fool's Day prank that y'all might think was really not funny

and very inappropriate. All right. We'll get into that next. Let's keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on in. Listen up. It's just in Club. Good morning. Listen up. It's just in.

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

Well, Kim Kardashian was giving an interview with Elle, and she talked about an April Fool's prank that Northwest and Saint wanted to play on Kanye. I don't know if this is a funny prank. Now, she said that she worries that North and Saint won't get along but recently North has started to include Saint in her jokes, even the April Fool's one. She said she roped him into an April

Fool's prank yesterday. That was ridiculous. She took ketchup into my bathroom. She begged me to let her spread it on me and on the bathroom as if it was a bad, scary movie. Then she asked me to lie down. I thought she was just playing. Maybe that she was going to say I was hurt. No. She taught Saint how to fake cry.

She showed him how to do it and then she told him to scream, Mommy's dead. Kanye ran upstairs and he was like, kids, this is not funny. This is not a good prank. I completely understand and I agree, but it did make me a little impressed that they planned something together and they were getting along and having fun as a team.

This is whack. I don't play like that. You turn out to be what you pretend to be, so I'm not pretending to be dead. I'm not pretending to get killed. Okay, not to mention that was on April Fool's. It was on April Fool's. So, you know, the family of Ipsy Hustle and every other family, you know, who lost someone that weekend, they wish that, you know,

the death of their loved one was an April Fool's joke. Like, how tone deaf can you be? Like, I don't know. It's not the kid's fault, but I'm just saying, Kim, watch that story. Well, she didn't have to talk about it. Yeah, you're right.

She didn't have to share that story at all. If your kids wanted to play that prank, would you be like, go along with it? No. Or would you say, I'm not going to pretend to be dead? Yeah, I was like,

no, we're going to knock them. We don't play with that kind of energy. No. You turn out to be what you pretend to be. Not that. No. All right. Now, here's something that will excite you.

Freak Nick might be returning. Nah, it's not the time for that. Yeah, and to be. Not that. No. All right. Now, here's something that will excite you. Freak Nick might be returning. Nah, it's not the time for that. Yeah, and to be two times up there. It's not the time for that either. Except this time it's going to be family friendly. What do you think about that? No such thing. Family friendly Freak Nick sounds like sugar-free Krispy Kremes.

What's the point? All right. Well, here's what Uncle Luke had to say. This is a very important message that you need to understand and you need to listen. Listen real clearly. I am bringing Freak Nick back to Atlanta. We gonna do it big. Everybody come. It's gonna be crazy.

It's gonna be sick. I'm bringing Freak Nick back. I love you Uncle Luke, but it's over. It was a moment in time. What's the point of bringing Freak Nick back if you can't be freaky? It's a one day event and it's gonna to be family friendly with performances from Project Pat, Foxy Brown, Bum B, Twista, Lil Scrappy,

Adina Howard. What kind of family is it? Mine. Hosted by Jazzy Faye. So it's Saturday, June 22nd. So if you guys want to get some tickets for that. Is this a concert called Freak Nick then? I mean it's a one-day event, so maybe there's going to be other things happening.

It features performances as well. And so maybe it's like a big picnic type of situation. First of all, no. I've never been to Freaknik, so I don't know what that... I've seen video. Exactly. And the culture has shifted in such a way

that Freaknik could never exist in the Me Too Time's Up era. You talking about... Maybe they should rename it. No. No, you can't have that. That whole atmosphere, that feeling. They should call it fleeknik.

Freaknik with the epitome of rape culture. Yeah, you can't do freaknik. Absolutely not. This is a family-friendly one. There's no such thing. Stop saying that. That's what it says. No.

Not for freaknik. It's not happening. This is for family-friendly freaks. All right. So, boom. If you used to be a hoe in the 80s, or you used to be a hoe in the 90s, or you used to be a hoe in the 90s, you know, and you've got a family now.

Bring them on down. Bring them all out. Show them how you used to get down. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Y'all are missing the whole point. No. I'm Angela Yee. Uncle Luke's missing the whole point,

thinking he can make a family-friendly freaknik. And that's your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. You should call it the Hey Fam Freaknik. I do need to hear more, though. I would like to know what a family-friendly freaknik consists of. No such thing.

No such thing. We do gotta admit, though, a lot like to know what a family-friendly freaknic consists of. No such thing. We do got to admit, though, a lot of those women that used to go to freaknic in the 80s and 90s, they did grow up and have families. A lot of them is grandmas now. They did. They on Facebook still getting it popping. That's fine.

Wearing things they ain't got no business wearing. Oh, my goodness. All right. Well, thank you for that rumor report. Yee, Charlemagne. Yes. How you giving that donkey two? You know, man, we live in a very sick, sick world, man.

You know what I'm saying? What I hear. Sick, sick world. And, you know, this is how you lose trust in your daughter. That's the one thing as a father you cannot lose. Your daughter having trust in you. But I'm pretty sure this guy's lost it forever. Okay. All right.

We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?

No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help!

Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yeah, Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day for Thursday, April 4th, goes to a man named Brian Couture. Brian is 40 years old from Oregon, and his daughter is a Girl Scout, okay? Me and this man have a couple things in common already. Age and a his daughter is a Girl Scout. Okay, me and this man have a couple things in common already. Age and a daughter who is a Girl Scout.

Any parent of a Girl Scout knows that Girl Scout hustle is so real. All right, seven brands. All right, menu is real simple, but their business is booming. It's a million-dollar market for Thin Mints, baby. All right, there's never been a time that I can remember where peanut butter patties weren't easy to push. All right, all parents know it's only three ways to move those Girl Scout cookies. First, people to get hit up is the immediate family. Second, people to get hit up is your place of employment.

You better take that Girl Scout catalog to work and ask all your coworkers to buy some cookies. Third hustle is the one that rarely happens, at least in my house, and that's door-to-door hustling. I don't think people do that anymore. Occasionally, you might see a Girl Scout pop up to your crib selling cookies. Nobody's doing that door-to-door trapping no more

but Jehovah Witnesses. I slew all the Jehovah Witnesses out there. I was raised one. But Girl Scout cookie trapping is big business and Brian's daughter was out there getting it because she managed to make over $700 in Girl Scout cookies. $740 to be exact.

This got me wondering what's the most my daughter ever made. I never pay any attention to the grand totals, but I know them Samoas be selling. Well, sadly, Brian's daughter got robbed. Now, people get robbed every day, B, but you have to be a different kind of grimy to rob a Girl Scout, but you also have to be a different kind of grimy to rob a Girl Scout. That's your daughter. Let's go to KGWA-NBC for the report, please. Forest Grove police say Brian

Couture called 911 just before 10 a.m., saying someone broke in through a back sliding glass door. A struggle took place, and the person took off. When officers arrived, Couture was unresponsive, so he was taken to the hospital. Police won't say what his injuries were yet, but later learned he faked the whole thing to cover up a theft. Officers discovered Couture had access to money belonging to Girl Scouts of America, and about $740 were missing. Couture was arrested for theft and making a false report. Brian, what in the name of Jussie Smollett are you doing, baby? Alright, I know times can be hard in the slums you're from, but stealing from your daughter?

I can see taking some money out your daughter's piggy bank because you're a little short on cash when, you know, Uber Eats delivered some food, but to steal a whole $740 from your daughter, who's a Girl Scout? Being short on bread should never be an excuse to steal the money your daughter made from selling shortbread cookies. Do you know the type of distrust your daughter will have for you now? Not only did you steal the stash she made from selling Savannah Smiles, you lied. You got the whole police department working overtime trying to investigate a home invasion that never happened.

They had dogs, the forensic team, crime tape everywhere, wasted all their resources. And what do they have to show for it? Nothing. Can they get a box of do-si-dos? Huh? Some Girl Scout s'mores for their troubles? Now, Brian is being charged with falsifying a police report, theft, and I'm pretty sure he's lost the trust of his daughter forever.

Please let Remy Ma give Brian Couture the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Now, let's play a game of Guess What Race It Is. Not much context clues here, people. All right, let's play the news report back one time. Refresh your memory on what we're dealing with.

Forest Grove police say Brian Couture called 911 just before 10 a.m., saying someone broke in through a back sliding glass door. A struggle took place, and the person took off. When officers arrived, Couture was unresponsive, so he was taken to the hospital. Police won't say what his injuries were yet, but later learned he faked the whole thing to cover up a theft. Officers discovered Couture had access to money belonging to Girl Scouts of America. And about $740 were missing.

Couture was arrested for theft and making a false report. Alright, we don't have a lot of context clues. Okay, 911 he called before 10 in the morning. Happened in Oregon. Faked a home invasion. Stole money from Girl Scouts. His name is Brian Couture. Angela Yee, let's start with you.

Guess what race it is! Well, this sounds like a crystal meth incident. So I'm going to say that he is white also because Girl Scouts are mostly white. I don't know if those are facts or not. That is a fact. Girl Scouts are mostly white? Yes. A large percentage are white. Girl Scouts are mostly white? Yes. A large percentage are white.

I would have to agree with you. I think most Girl Scouts are white. Also, I don't think black people will be calling the police 9 o'clock in the morning. I just don't think so. You're going to try to find them. Yeah, they're going to try to find them. They ain't going to call the police. They're going to try to find the kid that took his Girl Scout, his daughter's money.

So, DJ Envy, Angelia, your final answer is Caucasian. Caucasian. Let's do the big reveal. The survey says... Brian Couture is Caucasian! I knew it. The mayonnaise was heavy in this story. I knew it.

What gave it away? Was it the Oregon? Was it the gave it away? Was it to Oregon? Was it to Girl Scouts? Was it to home invasion call at 10 in the morning? Yes. His last name is Couture. Too much goddamn mayonnaise. And then punching himself in the face.

Oh, he punched himself in the face? Didn't he have a black eye, they said? Didn't he say that? I didn't see all that. Oh. They said he had a black eye. Did you just make that up, too? No, I thought the producer said the guy said he punched him in the face. Who said that? I don't know. Who said that? Dan said that. They said he had a black eye. Did you just make that up too? No, I thought the producer said the guy said he punched him in the face.

Who said that? I don't know. Who said that? Dan said that. Dan said he had a black eye or something. I heard he also set up a trust fund for... Who said that? I don't know.

Stop repeating things, Envy. I don't know. You hear what you're saying? Maybe he did. Did he? Can we see the picture again? Yeah, what's his name? See, he did have a black eye.

See? I don't mean he punched himself in the eye. Who? If he faked it, who punched him in the eye? That don't look like a black eye to me. That look like a cyst or something. A little star. My goodness.

Let me look up this story and see if he punched himself. And then he was unresponsive. How was he unresponsive? Yes. He was faking. He passed out. I'd pass out too. Once they found me out, I'd fall flat out on the floor.

Boom. My goodness. You got to wake me up. Let's see how this happened. All right. I'm not just going to be conscious while you're dragging me to jail. I'm going to see if he had a black eye. He had a black eye.

He showed the picture. Okay. All right. Well, that was your Don Quijote of the Day. Up next, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice. Call Yee right now. Hit us up.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this?

Hi, I'm Janelle. Hey, Janelle. Where you calling from? I'm calling from South Carolina. Okay. What's your question for Yee? My question is, I have a boyfriend, baby dad, however you want to say it, who's incarcerated. He's incarcerated due to the fact of his charges, domestic, because we had a lot of physical

altercations and getting into it with each other, arguing, fighting, which led me to call the police. You said a lot when you said it. It was something that was happening repeatedly. Yes. Okay. And we weren't together when he got incarcerated. But since he's been, he's been in jail since December 31st. And since he's been in there, you know, I'm talking to some people as far as the case.

And they're trying to, like, give him some type of, like, help, domestic violence classes, or anger management classes, or whatever the case may be, because he's not a bad person. But what makes him bad is the fact of putting his hands on women. Well, that does make him a bad person, because good people don't do that. Right.

It does make him a very bad person and less of a man in any aspect. But my question or advice is is I know right from wrong, and I was raised, you know, I didn't feel like I would ever go through something like this. But, you know, some people are like, he could never change. You could never get back with him because it'll always be the same. He'll do it to you once, he'll do it to you again,

no matter if he get help or not. And I'm just trying to see, like, would I be wrong for going back with him if he get help or not and i'm just trying to see like would i be wrong for going back with him if he does get the help and if we both go to like some type of class to talk about our problems or is it a situation that i just need to like completely leave alone and it's kind of hard because the fact we have a child in common okay so first of all let's think about the child first is that how you want to raise your child with this man? Has he ever put his hands on you in front of your child? I'm sure your child could feel what was going on, right?

Well, he's a baby. Oh, he's a baby. Yeah. You have to think about your kid first because that's not the type of environment you want to raise your child in. And you said this was something that he was doing repeatedly. It's not he did it once, he'll do it again. He did do it again and again and again. And that's why he's in jail now. Right. And let's keep in mind that men will say anything when they're in jail and they're trying to get back together with you because they have a lot of time on their hands and a lot of time to think.

So it's your actions that really show those things. Yes, you should get help because you guys do have a child together and you do have to figure out how you can somehow co-parent. But I think you've got to put yourself first. I think sometimes I had a situation where I dated a guy he ended up going to jail we would we broke up but the only reason that we ended up staying together after that was because I felt bad that he was in jail and I kind of felt like it was my fault right that's kind of like yeah but it's not your fault it's his fault that he's in jail right and this is the perfect time for you to get your life together and move on and separate yourself from that instead of allowing yourself to get drawn back into something because you feel guilty. Right.

So regardless of the help or not, I just pretty much need to stay on the road. Nobody knows what's going to happen five years, six years from now. But I think something like that. Yes, I hope people can change. And I hope that people get the help that they need, but maybe they don't. And maybe he won't. We don't know that. We can't predict the future. But in the meantime, I think in your head, you should

move on, understand that you have to co-parent, hope that he can be the best dad that he can be, and if years from now you can see that he's a completely changed person and he's saved from his abusive behavior, I can't tell you what to do in that situation, but I think for now, you have to put yourself and your child

before everything else. Don't feel guilty that he got himself in jail and understand that he's saying whatever he's got to say right now. Right. Thank you so much. Good luck, Mama. All right.

We love you. Love yourself too, baby. I love you too, Charlamagne. Did you envy? Love you too, boo. Love you back. I listen to you guys every morning. Bye.

Bye-bye. All right, Ask Yee, 805-85-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Kelly, you there? Yeah. Oh, boy. What's the matter? What's your question for you, Mama? I was asking her. I've been with someone for almost three years now,

and I post them on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, like all of that. All my family, everything. Like three, four times a week, trying to be TMZ, right? Okay. And he was in prison for 21 months, but like, in prison, it was just a whole different story, right?

Now he didn't got out, and I'm really am like a social media head. So I am like all, I'm constantly posting on everything. But when it comes to him, he does say like, oh, I'm private, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But we'll be at the bar, at the club, on his friend's live, posting pictures of his friends, doing like all this different stuff. So my concern is, is it wrong for me to feel some type of way that I'm not getting the same paparazzi effect that I give him? Social media is not life.

I just want to say that first. You know, people deal with social media differently. Some people post their significant other. Some people don't want to do that and don't want to put their girl out there like that or their man out there like that. Do you feel like he's doing it to pretend to be single or do you just feel like he just doesn't post you?

Like, it depends on the day, for real. One day I'm like, like okay i'm overreacting and like i'm just want to be like cute for facebook but his thing is he thinks everything i post is because i want a like or i'm doing it for facebook or he'd be like you won't you wouldn't do that if your friends wasn't on there and i'm like no i really would like i post you when you sleep like i'm not doing it because you just wide awake. Like, but don't make me feel like I'm just on the side. Because the main thing is, I think we are, some people do get too wrapped up in social media, and that can be an issue, too.

But is there a deeper issue? Do you feel like he's doing something, or is it just this? No, this low-key makes it more, like, come to the surface. Like, so who's filming you trying to, like... Because you're making up all these stories based on the fact that he's not doing what you do. And listen, it's not a must for somebody to post you on social media if that's not their thing. Now, if you feel like he's cheating on you, or you see some suspicious activity, or you see him in girls' comments, or you see hearts under his page, that's different. Oh, no, I most definitely do.

Like, okay, so like I said, when he got out of prison, he didn't really have that many followers. But now recently, every girl's picture that comes up under my followers, like on my timeline, he's the first name I see. So I'm like, oh, Instagram is lit because you don't even like my pictures. And I think my pictures are pretty decent. Now, I think that's a problem. If he's liking other girls' pictures and not yours, that's a real issue.

It feels like the real issue is that you feel like he's doing something and he's trying to act like he's single. Yeah. So that's what it is. It's not just that he doesn't post you. It's just that you think there's more to it. And that has something else that you're going to have to deal with. That means something deeper than just he's not posting me on social media. Yeah.

So that's something you have to contend with. And like you said, he's like, how is it not what I want? Because like you're not on my Facebook. Or like I used to be a Twitter header and he took me off randomly. And he was like, you know, when we get more stable, I'm like, what's more stable than three years? Yeah, you see what all the signs are. And it seems like when he was in jail, he was a lot more attentive and great.

And then he came home and now he's feeling himself. Yeah. Listen, if the real truth of the matter is what's really bothering you is the fact that you don't trust him. Yeah. So that's something that you have to deal with. Let's take it there. Let's not just make it this superficial social media issue. The real issue is what does this mean? Right. So you guys have to cont with. Let's take it there. Let's not just make it this superficial social media issue. The real issue is what does this mean?

Alright. So you guys have to contend with that and if you have a gut feeling and you know something's not right, then you do have to listen to your own intuition and your own instincts. Okay. Alright, honey. Good luck, mama. Thank you. You send us a picture, we'll post you. Okay. Thank you.

Hi, Yee. She sounds sad. She does. Alright. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship. Hi, Yee. She sounds sad. I'm sorry. She does. Alright. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice. Hit Yee now. Now, Yee, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about who might become the richest on-air personality in ESPN history. Okay. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Angela Yee and I are talking behind the scenes about Bohemian Rhapsody. Yeah, it's just a great movie. The movie about Queen.

I was saying that I teared up a couple of times in the movie. You always cry. I do. There's so many things that was emotional. Once when he found out that he had AIDS and HIV in the movie, I cried then. And then once when he was performing Champions and it was like the huge crowd, like 80,000 people in the crowded world. I kind of teared up. I was like, he made it.

No? He had been made it before that. No? All right. It was a comeback story, though, because he fell off. It was. And then he had to come back and he treated his bandmates so badly. He did.

But then he came back, he tried to make it right. But anyway. You know what I wish they would do? What? Not make it freezing here in the studio. I have on a coat and a blanket. You have a trench coat, a trench shirling on, Yee. Yeah, and I have a blanket on.

This is ridiculous. All right. It's disrespectful. You're right. It's springtime. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Beyonce. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee.

Who has it? On his breakfast club. So listen up. Well, Beyonce, according to insider sources and according to Us Weekly, is working on some new music and a Netflix special. Are you excited? No, I'm not excited about this. Let me tell you why I'm not excited about this.

Because Beyonce has mastered the art of taking away expectation from people. So the fact that somebody knows about this is not exciting to me. I like for Beyonce to surprise me. I'm excited. She's the only person I like to sneak up on me and say, boom.

the Netflix documentary is about her Coachella performance that was a huge deal. I would rather just be at home and see it just pop up on Netflix. I like the excitement

of everybody being like, oh my God, Beyonce got a new Netflix special that dropped yesterday. Two seconds ago. And she's doing some new tracks for a deluxe edition of a previous album.

Okay. So it's not like a surprise album, but it's just some new music that she's working on. Some new music from Beyonce. And she's also going to be in the remake of Disney's The Lion King, which is in theaters on July 19th. Beyonce's not allowed to make announcements. Announcements don't work for Beyonce. She didn't make the announcement. This is according to insider sources, but it's very credible.

Are those the same people who said Jay-Z set up a $15 million trust fund? I mean, of course she's doing it. No, it's Us Weekly. But of course she is doing a Netflix special on Coachella. That was Beychella. Why wouldn't you? I like being surprised. All right, now. By Beyoncé.

Jason Lee from Hollywood Unlocked. You guys had him on the show yesterday. He was up here. They're mad at him because they said he leaked pictures of Beyonce and Jay-Z's kids. It was like a picture of a picture. I don't know if you guys saw all this happening on social media, but they are going in. They're going crazy on him. So if you look on social media, you can see the picture of the kids. And, you know, I don't know who gave it to him, but it's a picture of a picture inside the house.

So take a look at that. The kids are cute, though. He posted that? It's still up?, but it's a picture of a picture inside the house. So take a look at that. The kids are cute, though. He posted that? It's still up? No, it's not up anymore. He took it down. It was on his Instagram page, but you can still see it online if you look for it, obviously. All right.

Britney Spears has checked into a mental health facility. She's been very distraught over her dad's illness, and they said she's not getting, you know, she needs to get some help. He's had two surgeries to correct major issues with his intestines and his colon. And they said the second surgery was recent, but he's been having all kinds of complications. So it's been really tough for her. So she had to check into a mental health facility. Now, LeBron is talking about being financially exploited as a high school star, of course. Right now, he was on the latest episode of Kevin Durant's The Boardroom.

And they were talking about all kinds of rivals and rivalries and things like that. And here's what LeBron had to say about business. Freshman year to my sophomore year, they moved our home games to the university. How big was your high school? How big was our high school? 1,500. 1,500? We opened up my first home game my sophomore year is at the University of Accra U which is like 6,000

people. And they sell season tickets. Right then and there as a sophomore, I'm 15 I knew that this is a business. And then his senior year they actually put the games on pay-per-view. You could watch LeBron James games anywhere in the state and be paid like 10 bucks. That's crazy.

I really think that's so unfair for those guys not to be getting some type of percentage. Yeah, it's ridiculous. They should be getting something, absolutely. I don't care if you're

in high school. I don't care if you're in the pros. If you're bringing that kind of attention and they're making that kind of revenue off you, you should get

some kind of kickback. And it's hard sometimes when these students don't have guidance and they don't really know how things, they just kind of have to accept it.

They're just playing basketball. Yeah, and I don't understand why they don't treat it like it's a junior pro or something, amateurs. You know what I mean? It's still pro ball in a way, right? It's not pro ball, but people are paying for it. It's not NBA, but it's a type of pro ball, I would think, the college level, the high school level.

That's high school. When they're spending that kind of money? Come on, man. And making that kind of money? Making that kind of money, absolutely. All right, now Taylor Rooks, we told you about her new show, Take It There with Taylor Rooks that actually debuted yesterday

on Bleacher Report on Turner. Well, she did her first episode with Jimmy Butler, and if you haven't seen it yet, make sure you watch the whole thing, but she did talk to him, and they played a game of spades. They had some good conversation, and here's what he had to say. Tell me the time that sticks out that you were the most sad. When I wanted to quit basketball forever in Marquette. And I was like, you know what?

The basketball thing ain't for me. I wish I would have had a journal then to get it all out instead of just talking to myself in the dark. And I was like, man, I don't know what to do, who to talk to, who can relate. Well, talk to me about that moment. Why did you want to quit basketball? I mean, you're so far away from home. And to tell you the truth, I didn't do no research.

I didn't know that it snowed. I didn't know that it got cold. I didn't know anything. So I went up there like I was still in Texas. Oh, yeah, that's in Milwaukee. So, you know, it was freezing. He played in Milwaukee? Marquette University.

Oh. In Milwaukee. So it was an interesting interview, and he talks about a lot of things. He talks about journaling, and he still journals every day. I think everybody should journal. I journal every day. Yeah, so he does that. I write down all my thoughts before I go to bed.

So make sure you check out Taylor Rick's new show. Now, fam, I'm Angela Yee, and that's, oh, and I forgot to tell you about this. I meant to mention Stephen A. Smith, by the way. I told you this earlier, but he's going to make about, they said, $8 to $10 million a year, which will make him the highest paid on-air talent in ESPN history. That's dope. That's huge. He's reportedly worth around $5 million a year already.

So when he gets this raise, that's going to be phenomenal for him. Right now, Mike Greenberg is ESPN's highest paid personality. He makes $6.5 million per year. Listen, drop on the clues box, Stephen. Congratulations. Queens all day. Smith. Congratulations. Queens all day. Queens. What up, Queens?

And the fact that Fox Sports is out there and Fox Sports is cooking. And I'm sure, I think Stephen A. Smith's contract is up in 2021. And I'm sure Fox Sports would be ready to give Stephen A. Smith that bag. Absolutely. So ESPN better pay like they weigh. Well, congratulations to him. He went to Edison High School in Jamaica, Queens. Southside Jamaica, Queens.

So South Jamaica, Queens. So congratulations to Stephen A. Smith. And I like Stephen A. He went to Edison High School in Jamaica, Queens, south side of Jamaica, Queens, so south Jamaica, Queens. So congratulations to Stephen A. Smith. And I like Stephen A. Smith because he keeping it 100 because he got the money to buy a new hairline, but he ain't did that. You know what I'm saying? No, he ain't. He keeping it authentic.

You know what I'm saying? He ain't even out here with the baldy like me. He just out here like, yo, this is what it is. It is what it is. You know? Yep. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report.

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of, like, this is mine.

I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supremeest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help. We still have the off-road portion to go.

Then after the mix, Reverend Al Sharpton will be stopping in. So we'll check in with Reverend Al. He has the huge, you're doing it today, right, Charlemagne? National Action Network Convention is going on right now. Yes, I have a mental health summit with Angela Rye at the National Action Network Convention today. You know the time? 11 something. 11.45. Okay. All right. Well, keep it locked. It's the time? 11-something. 11.45. Okay.

All right. Well, keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlemagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir.

Reverend Al. Reverend Al Sharpton. Welcome, sir. How are you, brother? Morning, morning. I'm good. How are you? I'm good.

National Action Network Convention starts today and through Saturday. All free. We have all the presidential candidates coming because we want to hear specifics, not soundbites. What are you going to do about the economy in terms of its economic disparities? Blacks are still doubly unemployed. The whites, you know, Trump keeps saying it's the lowest black unemployment ever was. Yeah, but we're still double the whites. How do you close the race gap?

How do you close the race gap in wealth? How do you close the wealth gap in home ownership where banks don't discriminate? We're going to cross the board with the presidential candidates, and we're going to get in our own heads in terms of what we need to be doing in terms of economic development. Robert Smith is going to be there. Robert Smith, $ 4.4 billion. And he's going to help conduct that. Dr. Michael Eric Dyson are dealing with a lot of what we need to be dealing with in the

education space. And one of the highlights, Angie, Charlemagne to God. We're going to do a real conversation on mental health. We've got to deal with that in our community. Too often it's taboo. We don't want to talk about it. Even in our faith community,

our churches kind of like exercise us to get through a week rather than deal with the deep-rooted problems. So we're going to talk about all of that. And it's all free. Now where can people go? Because, you know, where's the convention going to be? How can people get there? How can they watch? How can they look? Can they look online?

It's going to be at the Sheraton Times Square. They can go to www.nationalactionnetwork.net, see the whole schedule, who's going to be there when, and all of it free. Pre-register there so we have the size ballroom that accommodates everyone. And it'll be on www.nationalactionnetwork.net for those around the country that can't get to New York. What exactly is the National Action Network for people who may not know? It's a civil rights organization. We started 28 years ago in the middle of our fighting the racial murder of Yusef Hawkins and Benson Hurst. It was a young man killed in a section of Benson Hurst called Benson Hurst in Brooklyn for being black in the neighborhood.

And we wanted to form an organization that would fight those kind of injustices. When I was 13, I became youth director of Martin Luther King's group in New York. He got killed that year. So I've been in the movement all my life. But what I saw a lot, and you and I have talked about this, is that if you don't have an infrastructure, if you don't have something that will continue, that you just wait for the next episode.

You can't build an episodic movement. You have to be there, and you have to deal with the day-to-day problems of people. So we have offices now around the country, 103 chapters, and we built it up. I wanted to leave this year, but because we're going to relocate the national headquarters, I'm going to stay two more years. But we build a young leadership that's going to take it. We need a permanent structure. Fly-by-night activism

is not anything to me but showboating. You've got to build infrastructure. What are you moving it to? We're going to stay right on that corner. Some people have bought the corner and redevelop it. So we're out two years and we've made a deal with them for co-partnership so we can stay there i feel like it's a lot of fly by night activism nowadays you have to ask yourself this charlamagne how many people did we see jump

up during trayvon we were out there early he's out there one of the front line a lot of them jump but we the new god and we didn't see them anymore then aragonda we the new god then we didn't see him anymore and you know a young guy We're the new God. Then we didn't see them anymore. And, you know, a young guy asked me, I went out to Sacramento three weeks ago for Stephon Clark, where police had killed him a year later. I had done his funeral, and we did some of the marches.

Guy said to me, why does everybody always call you, Reverend Al? I said, yeah, I understand you got a track record. I said, no, the first reason they called me is I have an office they can call. You gotta have a phone number. And said, no, the first reason they called me is I have an office they can call. That's real. You got to have a phone number. That's right. And then they call you because they know you'll come.

But I think that a lot of them have well intentions but don't understand this is hard work. You're not going to be on the news every night. And you're going to get criticized. And you're going to be attacked. I've been stabbed and prosecuted. I look at a scar on my chest every morning. This is not, being on the front line is not a honeymoon. And a lot of people

like the good part of it, but as soon as the cameras go, they get depressed and get back down. What did you expect? Nobody that fights the power is not going to face the power trying to fight them back. You can see that now with Tamika Mallory, who came up on you.

A lot of them come up, they're going to fight them back. You can see that now with Tamika Mallory, who came up on the news. That's right. A lot of them will come up. They're going to fight back. I mean, and you get hate. I mean, the higher your profile, there's somebody that's going to want to build their profile by attacking your profile. It goes with the territory. If you got no haters, it's because you don't mean anything.

You said all the Democratic candidates are coming to the National Action Network. Why do you think so many Democrats are afraid to specifically speak on issues involving African Americans? I think that because they've been allowed to skate around the issue. And I think that because

some people just go along to get along. I'm going to support you. I understand you can't do this, that, that. Well, I don't understand that. I ran for president. I don't understand. If you can go to everybody else, why can't you come to us? And I think that that is where you've got to draw the line.

You need to address us. You need to address us specifically. I don't mind you embracing others, but I want to know what you're going to do about our situation. And that's not being divisive. It's divisive to divide us out of the deal. Tell them again where they can come on out and get some of this knowledge. We go to www.nationalactionnetwork.net and the whole agenda is there. You can pre-register there.

We start nine o'clock every morning there till five at the Sheraton Times Square. You can also call the toll-free number 1-877-626-4651. All right, shout out to Reverend Al for joining us this morning. Yes, sir. Now you're joining Reverend Al today, right? Yeah, I'll be with Reverend Al today. I'm having a panel on mental health at 1145 at the National Action Network, me and my sister Angela Rye. So we'll be out there talking about mental health and all that good stuff.

Today at the National Action Network. Okay. All right. Now you're going to be out there too, Yee? Yes, I'll be at the Women's Empowerment Luncheon. So I will be at National Action Network Women's Empowerment Luncheon today. I'll let y'all know what happens tomorrow. I'm sure it's going to be amazing.

I wonder how come he ain't doing no real estate classes or anything like that. I would have loved to come. You should have pitched it to him. Maybe next time. When we come back, positive note, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have to shout to her for joining us this morning. Yes. Make sure y'all listen to her EPs and everything because she's an amazing artist. I listen to that at home while I'm cleaning. I listen to it while I'm driving. I listen to that when it's romantic time. I love her. Shout to her. And also shout to Reverend Al Sharpton for joining us as well.

All right, Charlamagne, you got a positive note? Yes, ma'am. My positive note, man, is for everybody out there that's seeking perfection. Always know it's not about perfect. It's about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day, that's where transformation happens. That's how change occurs. Breakfast club, bitches! Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting

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