I had the opportunity to sit down with Mr. Travis Scott. Yes. Letting that sink in for a second. I had the opportunity to sit down with Mr. Travis Scott. We discussed the tragedy that happened on November 5th

at Astroworld in Houston, Texas, and also how he wants to help in making sure this never happens again.

And, you know, how we, like I said, how he'll be helping to make sure that never happens again. So join us 7 a.m.

Travis Scott in conversation with myself, Charlemagne N'Ga. On The Breakfast Club. Now up next, we got front page news. LAPD saying don't come out here. You don't want to come out here. This is not where you want to be. Don't you bring your ass out here. LAPD is saying that.

I'm trying to tell you. We'll tell you why when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne N'G move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front-page news. Now on Thursday Night Football, tonight the Steelers take on the Vikings at 8.20 p.m. So definitely check that out. Now Serena Williams, she will not play in the Australian Open. She says she's not where she wants to be physically, so she's not going to be playing. Serena Williams can she will not play in the Australian Open. She says she's not where she wants to be physically, so she's not going to be playing. Serena Williams can do whatever she wants at this point in life.

She's the undisputed GOAT. Nobody can ever take that away from her. Regardless of what she ever chooses to do, she's going to wake up Serena Williams every single morning. So the next time we get blessed by her presence on the tennis court is the next time we get blessed. And if we don't, it don't matter. She's still the GOAT.

Now, in some dope news, Tiger Woods and his son are playing in the PNC Championship. Now, the PNC Championship is a 20-plus golfers, majors, champions. It's like a families compete. So, it's a doubles tournament. So, Tiger will be playing with his son, which I think is dope. Now, also, at least— I thought Tyler retired, though. I don't know. He's playing with his son.

Now, some scary news. At least 12 major U.S. cities have already set historical murder numbers in 2021, and there's three weeks left. They said Philadelphia is the nation's sixth largest city, recorded 523 murders. Last year was 500. They said it's very nasty out there. They said Rochester's up 71, Louisville, 175, Austin, Texas, 60, Indianapolis, 247, Columbus, 179, Minnesota, 35, Portland, 72, Arizona, 80. These are all highs, record highs in these places. You know, it's crazy, man. You know, just just when you come from a certain environment and, you know, even though I'm not outside anymore, but, you know, at one period I was outside.

We've been saying that you can feel how bad it is. It is bad. You can feel how bad it is throughout the country. You can feel it. Like we always say that, man. It's bad outside. Protect yourself. Watch your back. Yada, yada, yada. And look. No, it's probably some of the worst

that I've ever seen it. And it's when police officers are telling you don't go out, then you know not to go out. And that's what happened in L.A. Can we play the audio? The ACLU advocated for Proposition 47, which changed the sentencing guidelines.

So right now, you can literally go out, do whatever you want, commit crimes, and you'll be out faster than the officers can finish the report. And that's a fact. It's sad to say, but it's almost safer to hang out with Alec Baldwin on a movie set than to go shopping in Los Angeles right now. That's how crazy it is. It is so violent. We're telling people, don't visit because we don't think we can keep you safe right now.

And in fact, Los Angeles is like the movie Purge. But instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, they have 365 days to go out and commit their crimes. Now, that was somebody on the LAPD. Now, could you imagine if the LAPD, the people that are supposed to be protecting the citizens, are saying, don't come out here because we can't protect you. That's wild. I was just in L.A. on Wednesday. And, you know, it's crazy. Security guards and, you know, other folks I know, they were telling us the same thing.

They didn't say don't come to L.A. They just said that, you know, when you come out here, you know, make sure that you are secured. Because the area that that one person patrolled in particular really nice area of la it was like yo every day every day it's some type of home invasion or a break-in that somebody's getting hit up like every day right and they were saying private security in la on the rise like crazy they said usually where people wouldn't have security now they're having two and three guards when they go out and also just uh securing homes. So they're saying be extra careful. If you have ADT, if you have a home system, make sure you put it on. A lot of us have it and then don't put it on or forget to put it on.

You have to put on your system and you got to protect your house, protect your family, protect your valuables at all times. Just be safe. Yeah. All right. Well, that is front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.

Again, 800-585-1051. Hit us up right now. And also, also, hold up. Also, remember, 7 a.m. That's right. I'll be in conversation with Travis Scott, okay, here on The Breakfast Club. Travis Scott in conversation with myself, Charlemagne Tha God. So tune in at 7 a.m.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I'm telling. I'm telling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling. I'm calling you.

This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? It's Twin, man. Call from Florida. Twin, what up?

Get it off your chest, bro. Hey, man, I just want to get off my chest, man. This may sound crazy to you, man, but I feel like Biden been in office, man. The economy don't begin worse. When Trump was in office, it seemed like it was flowing a little bit more better, man. We have more money in our pocket.

Now I see, like, man, we kind of like of like you know it's a struggle out here now i think that might that might actually be a fact but i also think that that was because of uh you know cold the economy economy was stronger but also when covid happened you know all the unemployment hit the street and the ppp loans and everything else like even when even when covid hit man trump had a little stimulus check they were coming coming out. We getting a little $250 a month. Trump was trying to give a boy some bread, man. We was eating. I was like, gas prices don't

went up. Everybody high. It seemed like, man, the economy just don't got worse since Biden got in. And I'm not a Trump supporter, but he had the economy flowing, though, man. I'm going to keep it real. I kind of feel you. I see where you're coming from. I don't know the facts, though, but I feel it, though. I feel it, too, man.

I feel it big time, bro. All right. Thank you, brother. Yeah, I don't know the facts to that. I mean, I get the feeling, though. The feelings do feel like that. Hello, who's this? Yo, DJ Ambien, this is Uber Mike Dallas.

How you doing? Uber Mike, what's popping? Get it off your chest, bro. Hey, how y'all doing, man? I just want to congratulate y'all for 11 years, man. I'm so thankful for you guys. I've been listening to you guys for six years straight. And then last thing, there was a young lady that called yesterday that drives for Uber as well,

and she was talking about the lights being on the houses. If you pull up. Can I send one of those to some of the, huh? No, no, no. She called yesterday because she was saying people don't have their numbers on their house. And if their numbers are on their house, they don't have it lit up. So it's hard for them to find the right house. Oh, okay.

Yeah, the way he worded it, he was like, when you pull up to the houses, the houses be lit up. I'm like, it's Christmas. And I'm like, what'd you say now, brother? I need to get up with her because there's another thing a lot of these parents are doing. They're sending their kids with Uber riding to school on a minor and i have to keep turning these kids away because you cannot ride with these minors so that's another thing that we're running into as well driving in the morning i ain't gonna lie i had to do that once or twice before logan got his license let's say somebody will and and many times uber drivers are nice enough to drop him off at high school

but he got his license he's good money how old. How old is he? Now he's 18, but this is when he was 16. Okay, that's kind of cool, but you got 10-year-olds, 9-year-olds trying to ride. That's wild. Nah, that's too young. 16 to 16. For insurance purposes, these parents need to know that if something happens to their kid, insurance-wise, they're not going to cover it. So that's why it's

important. I love you guys, man. Keep doing what you're doing. Peace, King. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Let's go!

This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're man or blessed. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Ms. B calling from Harlem. Hey, Envy, Shalem and the guys. I'm sorry for being there.

I love the energy. What's up? Oh, my goodness. I have two things to say. I cannot wait to hear this interview. So I am a mother first, and I love my kids. I am an educator second. And in my spare time, I supervise beverage booths at different music festivals to raise money for organizations like the New York Urban League, Thurgood Marshall, Young States at Smollett. I'm all in. I love music and I love people.

But there are two things I want to say. Parents have to be held accountable. I see these kids going crazy at Made in America. We couldn't sell Red Bulls anymore in our booths because these kids would mix the drinks. They would take drugs. They have fake IDs. And I see some

parents and they look at these kids at the music festivals and they let the kids go buck wild. My heart breaks for all the victims of Astroworld. If this had happened at one of my shows, I would have been devastated. I also want to give praise to all of the volunteers, the CSC, the Citadel, all the volunteers

that make these shows happen. We don't give volunteers enough credit. I've seen all of these kids bombard the gates and don't give a damn about the safety of others. So one, Pam, is we have got to be held accountable. If you're sending your kids to these music festivals, go with them. Have a good time and make sure that they're safe. And kids, trust me, I'm going to educate.

I tell my kids every day, cut it out. It doesn't make sense to just have likes on your social media just because you're acting wild and crazy. I don't know exactly what happened. Like I said, my heart breaks for this actual, all the victims, but we have got to hold these parents and these kids accountable.

Trust me, I cannot wait for this interview. I just want to thank you guys, Charlamagne. 7 a.m. Oh my God, your healing energy just is infectious. And let me just tell you this last thing. I'm so invested in you guys. When I don't hear you guys come on cue with that good morning and yo, yo, yo. I'm like,

oh my God, where are they now this morning? Thank you so much. Why aren't they here? Thank you so much. We appreciate you so much. Thank you. And like you said, this morning at 7 a.m., Travis Scott will be joining the Breakfast Club.

Charlamagne got a chance to sit down with him one-on-one, so we're going to get that on at 7 a.m., so definitely tune in, and thank you for listening, mama. Yes. That's all we're talking about,

the tragedy that happened on November 5th at Astroworld in Houston, Texas, and how Travis wants to help in making sure that never happens again. But she brings up a very good point about human behavior, which is something we discussed. So tune in, 7 a.m. Remember with Rolling Loud, when my kids went to Rolling Loud, I sent them with a chaperone.

I sent them, you know, my kids were mad, but I'm like, no, I need to send y'all with something to make sure y'all act right. And that's what we got to do sometimes. By the way, it's still by the grace of God that, you know, nothing happened. Because, I mean, sadly there was, you know, kids out there with their parents that perished at Astroworld. All right. All right. Let's go to another caller. Hello, who's this?

Hello, who's this? This is David Wright coming from Dayton, Ohio. David Wright. What up? Get it off your chest, bro. Hey, I was just calling to let y'all know, man, that, yeah, the city is bad and everything. I'm coming from Dayton, Ohio, and I heard that you said that Columbus is one of the top places of murders, man.

It hit hard because it's close to home, man. That's why I participate in Mixed Works York, man, on YouTube. Guns down, gloves up, man. Show these kids, man, pulling up a gun. You got to hold your ground. You can always, you know, pull up your fist and do what needs to be done. All right. Well, thank you, brother.

Listen, we've been saying it. We've been telling our loved ones. We've been telling our friends. It's bad out here. You know, when you come from a certain environment and you say that, I don't know how else to relay that to people. That element is out here. All right?

Look alive. Keep your head on the swivel. Protect yourself at all times. All right. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now, when we come back, we got your rumor report. We'll tell you about the most powerful women in the world.

So don't move. 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. Let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk the world's 100 most powerful women. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right. Now we're talking about

the world's most powerful women. Now, Charlamagne Tha God, who do you think number one is? Number one in the world? Yes. It would have to be between Vice President Kamala Harris, only because of the position. And I don't know who would be number one.

I would think Vice President Kamala Harris would be one. No, Mackenzie Scott. Mackenzie Scott. She's the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. She's worth $59.2 billion. She's a philanthropist. That's what she's named after. They base power off money? to Jeff Bezos. She's worth $59.2 billion. She's a philanthropist. They base power off money? Not necessarily.

Because Kamala Harris is number two. So what makes McKenzie more powerful than Vice President Kamala Harris? She's the Vice President of the United States of America. I don't know. I mean, I don't know what the criteria is. I'm not even joking. If it was about money, I wouldn't have thought

power and money, even though it does equate about money, I wouldn't have thought power and money, even though it does equate, but I just wouldn't have thought Mackenzie Scott would be number one. Well, she's number one. Oprah Winfrey is number 23 on the list. All right. Now, Rihanna, what do you think Rihanna falls on this list? If Oprah is number 23, I mean, Rihanna got to be.

I mean, I don't know. I would think she would be under that. Rihanna got power too. Yes, Rihanna's number 68. Beyonce's number 76. Ava DuVernay is number 80. Taylor Swift is number 78. Serena Williams is number 85.

And who else do we have on this list? And that's all I see. You're also asking me these questions with no context. You're not giving me no context of what the criteria is that equates to this power. When you just asked the initial question, I'm just thinking, you know, yeah, the vice president of the United States of America is a woman, so I would think she would be number one. But I guess not in this world we live in.

Well, this is according to Forbes, the most powerful women. So this is not my segment. I don't do rumors. I'm just telling you the stuff that they tell me. All right. Want me to be honest or not? I will say, though, I can honestly say that every other woman you named on that list, I know what those women are doing with their power.

Correct. I don't see Vice President Kamala Harris doing anything with hers. Ooh. Ooh. I like that. Ooh. Salty. That's not a ooh.

That's not salty. That's a little side eye. That's an observation. Ooh. All right. That's not a side eye. Now, shout to Nori, N-O-R-E, and Drink Champs. You know, Nori will have his cars at my car show this Sunday.

Shout to N-O-R-E. Now, Alicia Keys was on there, and they spoke about the time when they performed at the VMAs and somebody popped on that stage. Little Mama. How mad was you at Little Mama when she f***ed up your performance? Alright, all I know, who was on that stage,

in my head, I was such a gorilla at the time. I was, my eyes, I was like, this is what's happening. I'm going to destroy this record tonight. That's all I had in my head. Somehow, however she got over here, I didn't even bear witness to the whole show. I was so focused on making it amazing.

I went backstage, and Jay was like, so you ain't see that? And I was like, what? And he was like, no, you ain't just see what just happened? And I was like, yeah, we killed it. That's what just happened. Yeah, so she was so in her zone, she didn't even see Lil Mama, huh? Jesus Christ.

I mean, I get it because it's history, and it's Alicia's story to tell, but that has to be hard for Lil Mama to keep hearing about. Folks love to reduce us to our so-called worst moments, our mistakes. So that's got to be hard for her to hear about. It was kind of funny, though. And also, Alicia Keys, she had a sit-down with Speedy, and she talks about Swizz wasn't really her type at first. The whole

I can write music in ten minutes, like the show wall, all of that, I was just like, ugh, no. It's not even it. That's not even my vibe. But what I realized was I actually didn't know him. And I think a lot of times we're judging people by who we think they are. Like, you know people from what they share or from what gets covered by what they share.

I mean, that's absolutely positively true, right? When dealing with people, sometimes you only see what people think they are, but you don't really get to know somebody until you get an opportunity to spend some time with them, right? Especially in this era. This era is all about perception and not what actually is, which is so strange to me. Now, Nick Cannon, he was very thankful for all the love. If you haven't heard, his son, Zen, passed away on Sunday. He announced it on his show Tuesday.

And yesterday he was talking about all the love he received. I'm grieving. I feel guilty for so many levels. I never wanted to exploit this. I kept it private for so long since I found out about Zen's diagnosis. And, you know, in respect to his mother, Alyssa, and to everyone in our family. And so for yesterday, the onslaught of really love, you know, and care, but it's brand new to me, so I'm dealing with it. So thank you. Thank you. That's all I can say.

But it's new. I'm not used to all of this hugging and you okay. I'm fine. But, of course, everyone knows that I'm not fine, but you guys Are making me feel better Yeah, I seen Nick yesterday, I gave him a big hug Told him I love him yesterday And, you know, couldn't imagine So I just want to say salute and shout to Nick Cannon, man

Yeah, same Sending healing energy, you know, to my good brother Nick Cannon And, you know, listen, man, sometimes staying busy Is a trauma response But, you know, everybody, man, sometimes staying busy is a trauma response. But, you know, everybody, you know, unpacks their traumas in different ways and deals with their trauma in different ways and heals in different ways. So, you know, I'm just sending my brother healing energy.

That's all. Absolutely. All right. And definitely check out Nick Cannon's show. And also, too, man. Also, too, I don't want to. He's not. He wouldn't have been exploiting that. You know what I'm saying?

If he came in to his TV show and spoke about it, that's his story to tell. And, I mean, sometimes when we're in front of these microphones and we have these platforms, you know, that is our way to get things out because it's hard to do this job and, you know, you've got your own issues. So that's why, you know even even here we you know we share so much of what we go through so he wouldn't have been exploiting it if he came on and told everybody you know what what his what him and his family was dealing with in regards to the zen so nah absolutely i don't i don't like that language he used and i would tell

everybody if you haven't seen his show definitely go check out his show his the brother's good at his show the brother does an amazing show. 100%. I was on there yesterday. So shout to Nick Cannon. All right. And that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, front page news. L.A., they say don't come. Don't bring your ass.

We'll tell you all about it and more. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.

I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

The ACLU advocated for proposition 47 which changed the sentencing guidelines so right now you can literally go out do whatever you want commit crimes and you'll be out faster than the officers can finish the report and that's a fact it's sad to say but it's almost safer to hang out with Alec Baldwin on a movie set than to go shopping in Los Angeles right now that's how crazy it it is. It is so violent. We're telling people, don't visit because we don't think we can keep you safe right now. And, in fact, Los Angeles is like the movie Purge. But instead of 24 hours to commit your crime, they have 365 days to go out and commit their crimes. That's scary.

Everybody wants to be a comedian. I mean, listen, the Alec Baldwin situation was an accident. What's going on in L.A. is intentional. Like, these people are intentionally committing these crimes against individuals. Unless that L.A. PD police officer knows something about the Alex Baldwin situation, then we don't. But either way, we've been telling y'all, it's crazy outside. And it's not just L.A., by the way. It's everywhere.

It is everywhere. Now, also, the Kim Potter trial is starting today. Do you remember Kim Potter? Mm-hmm. All right, that's the officer. I hate to say it because it sounds like everything else. The officer who shot a black person, right? Yeah, shot a black person.

Remember, allegedly she thought she was reaching for the taser and then reached for her regular gun and actually shot him. So that trial is today. Now, that is the same place where the Derek Chabon. What's his name? Chabon? I can't remember his name. Nor do I care to. That's where his trial happened. It started yesterday, actually. And we have some audio just to fill you guys in.

I'll beat you! I'll beat you! Danger, danger, danger! Oh, s***! I'm going to shot you. I'm going to shoot you! That was the actual audio. Why are we playing that? Just so you guys can remember. Now, her attorney is saying it was an accident. It wasn't her fault.

It was an accident. Do we have that from yesterday's case? This was an accident. She wasn't her fault. It was an accident. Do we have that from yesterday's case? This was an accident. She's a human being. If she does nothing, Mr. Wright drives away and either substantially harms Sergeant Johnson

or likely he kills her. Even admitting it, anyway, there's consequences to malpractice right yeah absolutely so so so you certain people aren't allowed to make those kind of mistakes no not at all whatever so even if even even if the lawyer is saying it's an accident which i doubt it was there's still got to be consequences and repercussions to that to that malpractice i would

think i agree it was a traffic stop they said he had something on his uh his i break his rear mirror hanging it was something very small but um that brother lost his life dante right not dante right with my brother name all right rest in peace to dante right sending healing energy to his family because i know that trial starting yesterday you know is is is is causing a lot of problems for them. So send the healing energy to his family. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now, when we come back, Charlemagne yesterday got a chance to sit down with Travis Scott.

And that's what we did. And also how

you can call us up, 800-585-1051. Ladies and gentlemen, Travis Scott. Travis Scott, what's up, brother? What it do? How you feeling? You know,

I've been on about, like, different type of, like, emotions, you know? Emotional rollercoaster, I've been on about like different type of like emotions, you know, emotional roller coaster. I mean, it gets so hard because I always felt like connected with my fans. And, you know, I went through something, you know, and I feel like fans went through something and people's parents would do something. And, you know, it really, you know, it hurts. It hurts the community. It hurts the city. And it's just been a lot of thoughts, you know, a lot of feelings, a lot of grieving. And just, you know, trying to get you to wrap my head around it, you know.

I really just really wanted to be there. And just, you know, wish you could just kind of like hold everyone, you know. Kind of just heal them, talked to them, have conversations, you know, it just, it just, you know, it really hurts. What's your intention with this conversation? Like, what do you hope to get out of this? Or what do you hope to get out? I don't personally have an intention.

I just feel like something happened and I feel like it's just, I needed just a way to kind of like communicate, you know. The families are grieving, you know. It's fans that experienced something. It's fans that came to a show, you know. And I feel like I just have like a, I've always been that person to always see things through with the people that shared experiences with me.

And, you know, it just, things happen. And, you know, I just kind of, you know, it's been such a, such a time. And I've just been trying to just really figure things out, you know. I'm sure you experienced some remorse, but was there any hesitation to have this conversation because of the litigation you may be facing? Well, I mean, yeah, of course you got people that are just like, oh, what? Like, you know, but it's not about that.

You know, you're an artist. You're whoever people think you are, but at the end of the day, you're a human being, you know. You have emotions. You want to communicate them emotions, you know, and trying to find the best way to communicate. How have you been coping with the aftermath of everything? Just emotionally, just you as a human. I've been just in a room for a while, you know, a lot of thoughts, and luckily, you know,

you have people around that can kind of bounce ideas, but it's just been, you know, I've been doing this for such a long time, and, you know, nothing like this ever happened been you know, I've been doing this for such a long time and you know you Nothing like this ever happened, you know So it just kind of like you just kind of figuring out and at the end of day like these fans are your family So you just feel like you lost lost something you just like you go you do these shows honestly to You know for people to have the best experience, you know, and just to think that something like this happened You just try to figure out, you know, for people to have the best experience, you know, and just to think that something like this happened,

you just try to figure out, you know, you know, just wrap everything around. And so even just for the first couple weeks, you know, it was just me sitting down, but I had to really channel these emotions to just remember, like, you know, if no one's going to be a voice for these people, I got to, like, kind of step up

and kind of, like, be a voice to just figure out that, you know, this doesn't happen in the future, The show is period. You know what I'm saying? Or figure out the bottom solution of what's going on and just try to ensure people, you know, safety and what they're doing. You know, you said you was in the room, but then people saw you at the golf course. Yeah. Mark Wahlberg. What was that? It was just Thanksgiving. You know, they were there. You know, just good people to have around in the community. And, you know, that was just more like a personal time,

just trying to get around. Think like some fan came and asked for a photo. But, yeah. Let's talk about that night, man. When did you find out things got as bad as they did? That's the question everybody wants to know yeah it wasn't really until like minutes until like the press conference until i figured out exactly what happened you know um even after the show you know you're just kind of hearing hearing things um but you don't know i didn't know the exact details

until you know minutes before the press conference and even at that moment you kind of just like wait you know what like you know you just went through something and it's just like wait what you know so you didn't know people that actually passed away no no wow until minutes before you know which is you know and at the thing is like you know people pass out you know people you know things happen at concerts but something like that it's just like yeah people said they uh collectively they collectively heard folks scream and help every time you stop the song to get your attention did you did you hear any of those screams nah man and you know it's so crazy because i'm not i too. Anytime you can hear something like that, you want to stop the show.

You want to make sure fans get the proper attention they need. And anytime I could see anything like that, I did. I stopped a couple times to just make sure everybody was okay. And I just really go off the fans' energy as a collective. Call and response. I just didn just go off the, you know, the fans energy as a collective, you know, call and response. And I just didn't, I just didn't hear that. You know, I got music, I got my in-ears, but I just didn't, I just didn't hear that, you know. Break that down a little more.

Like nobody knows what it's like being on stage except for other artists. So speak to us from that perspective of what you can see and hear. It was like, what, 50,000 people? Yeah, I mean, you got like a venue, you know, filled with like 50,000 people. But it's like a sea. You got lights, you got sound, you got pyro, you got your in-ears, you got your sound,

you got your mic, you know, you got the music, you got a band, there's all type of, you know, stuff going on. So it's hard to tell excitement from danger, so to speak? Yeah, of course. Everything kind of just sounds the same. And at the end of the day, you just hear music. And when you do, you just hear monks of things.

But when you're in a show, you're just into the show. And any time you can feel anything close to you, you try to definitely get to that. So as an artist, how much can you actually, I guess, help in that position? You can only help what you can see, you know what I mean? Mm hmm. And then, you know, whatever you told, you know what I'm saying? Whenever somebody tell you to stop, you just stop. But, just wasn't it.

It wasn't, it wasn't that night, huh? You know, Raging, Raging has been a part of the culture, you know, of your shows. You know, you didn't on this night but in the past, you've encouraged, I guess, the culture of your shows. You didn't on this night, but in the past, you've encouraged, I guess, the kind of energy that could have led to something like this happening. Do you think that contributed to the energy of this night? Yeah, nah. I think it's something I've been working on for a while

of just creating these experiences and trying to show the experiences happening in a safe environment. Us as artists artists we trust you know professionals to make sure that you know things happen and people leave you know safely you know what i'm saying um and this night was just like a regular show you know it felt like to me um as far as like you know the energy people it didn't feel like it was like you know people didn't i don't people didn't show up there to just be harmful people just i think showed up to have a good time like, you know, people didn't, I don't, people didn't show up there to just be harmful. People just, I think, showed up to have a good time and then, you know, something unfortunate happened. And I think we really just got to figure out, you know, what that was, you

know? Does raging make it harder to identify when something is going wrong in the crowd? Well, I think raging is just a, you know, they have a textbook, you know, definition. But, you know, in concerts, we've grown it to be just an experience of having fun. It's not about just, oh, harm. It's not about that. It's about just letting go and having fun. You know, help others. You know, love each other. It's not about just, you know, harm.

That's not what it's all about. The show isn't just rambunctious for an hour. You know, that's not what it is. Trust me, I grew up on crunk. So, you know, I understand. You know, you just don't want it to get too out of hand. Yeah, but, you know, the energy is high, you know, and that's why you want to just make sure that, you know,

people are surrounded, to make sure that people are just having the best experience, you know what I'm saying? You know, I can't say the energy is high, but, you know, that's why you want to just make sure that, you know, people are surrounded to make sure that people are just having the best experience. You know what I'm saying? You know, I can't say the energy is high, but, you know, you want to make sure that people are there for people to have, like, the best experience and leave. Yeah. You want people to have a good time. You don't want people to get hurt.

Yeah, at all. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, God forbid, pass away. And, you know, it's typical for you to stop a show to make sure fans in the crowd get the help, you know, God forbid, passed away. And, you know, it's typical for you to stop a show to make sure fans in the crowd get the help, you know, they need. There's even footage of that night of you doing that during the set where you unable to sense, like, a difference in urgency this time around. I mean, yeah, because, you know, you stop the show,

but, you know, if something's going to happen, if it's something detrimental, somebody's going to let you know, you know, or, you know, the show just stopped. And, you know, that just wasn't the case. You know, I just's going to happen, if it's something detrimental, somebody's going to let you know, you know, or, you know, the show would just stop. And, you know, that just wasn't the case. You know, I just kind of stopped the show. You know, you just ask, you have a call and response with the fans. You try to, you know, generally get a response,

but, you know, if you don't get like a stop, you know, it's just, you can't, you just don't, you just go off of what's going on, you know, which makes it so like, so crazy cause like you know I feel like if anyone would have known it would have just been like it wouldn't have got that far alright we got more with Travis Scott

and Charlamagne their one on one conversation 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 now Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're playing a one-on-one interview with Travis Scott and Charlamagne. Travis Scott and Charlamagne spoke yesterday.

So we're getting that back on this morning. Yeah, we chopped it up yesterday. As you can see, if you've been listening, he's being very open about the situation. But at Astroworld in Houston, Texas, the tragedy that happened on November 5th at Astroworld in Houston, Texas. But you could you could see his brain, you know, going on just how to make sure this never happens again. But, you know, keep listening. All right. And here is part two. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. What headspace were you in when you posted that initial response video? I mean, I think it had to have been the night of, you know?

So I was just in a headspace of just trying to get a communication out to my fans, you know? I had little to no information, you know? So I was just trying to figure it out and just communicate to them, you know? Yeah, I was just reacting just literally just to get something to the fans. You know, it's people that showed up. Do you regret that initial video? Do you regret reacting in that way or not, like, not having all the information before you said something?

I mean, yeah, because, you know, you just don't know what's going on. But at the end of the day, I don't, you know, I just wanted to get something out. You know, how my message came out, I can't. I can only go off what I know. But my true intentions of it was really just trying to get a message across. And I really wanted to just touch to the fans, touch to the families that we're here, we're grieving. And we'll get through this process.

So what did you know in that first video? I mean, at that time, I think we just knew that, you know, people pass. You know, we didn't know how, you know, it was, you know, the news, you know, I think police came out and said something. You know, you're just going off of what you're seeing in the news. You know, you don't really know nothing. And then as the days go on, you start collecting a little bit more information. They said there was a there was like chaos and trampling being reported since the early afternoon, like hours before the show even started.

Were you informed of any of that ahead of time? Well, no. And the police, he came to my trailer and he congratulated me on the event and having something like this in Houston. He let me know that it was a mishap at the merch booth earlier you know they shut it down but they opened it back up they seem to got it under control you know he was gonna step out and just let us know if we need anything you know have a good show that was it you know um a lot of the criticism you know from the tragedy they say, is in the poor planning and understaffing of the event.

As an artist, do you have any involvement in any of that? Well, I mean, we just, as an artist, you just do the creative. And for this to be my festival, you know, I got, you know, bring artists, you know, creatively produce it. And, you know, we just trust in, you know, the professionals to kind of just make sure that people are taken care of and leaving safely. I just can control what I can on the stage. And then you have the professionals control what they can in the crowd. It's just hard because as an artist, you want to have the best shows and you want to have the best experiences. And you link with professionals to handle that side

of it you know and then you know you want to know what's going on I think that's what we got to figure out you know and figure out what happened here how to happen you know you spoke on the Houston police chief his name is a Troy Finney came to you and he said he voiced concerns over the crowd energy. So what did you and your team do with that information? What you got? Well, I think that's what the media said, but I think it read to more so that he wanted us to, he knew that our crowd was the type of crowd that comes, it comes at a heavy crowd. So to communicate with him if we were doing anything outside of the week's itinerary.

That week we were doing a lot of the week's itinerary, you know That week we were doing like a lot of charity stuff prior to the festival So, you know the security at most of the events, but you know, he was just letting us, you know I guess that statement he was just saying if we do anything outside of what we had on our itinerary itinerary let him know Mm-hmm, but you know, we didn't even get to that point It was crazy. Just you know being a kicking it with you for a little bit Like I can see that, you know, we didn't even get to that point. It was crazy just, you know, being there, kicking it with you for a little bit. Like, I can see that, you know, this is weighing real heavy on you. Yeah. So how much do you feel a sense of responsibility for what happened that night?

Well, you know, fans come to the show and have a good experience, you know. And I have a responsibility to figure out what happened here. I have a responsibility to figure out the solution. And hopefully this takes a first step into, you know, us as artists, you know, having that more insight of what's going on. You know what I'm saying? The professionals to kind of, you know, surround and figure out more of an intel,

whether it's tech, whether it's, you know, more of a response, whether it's, whatever the problem is, you know, to figure out that in the future, moving forward in concert safety, make sure it just never happened again, you know? Well, let's talk about those professionals. Like how much responsibility do you think

like Live Nation and Score More, the promoters, have in all this? I mean, they do their job of setting these things up. So I think when we dial into what specifically happened here, I feel like even they can kind of, figure out what happened in a sense. You know, but at the end of the day, I think collectively, everyone needs to just figure out the bottom line solution. But, you know, especially in concert safety, you know,

definitely got to have, you know, make sure that, you know, these things are, you know, done right. You think these festivals are too big, man? 50,000 people is a lot of people for anybody to control. Yeah, there are festivals that are bigger. Way bigger. And, you know, I just think it's not about the maximum of it. I think it's about the attention to what's going on

and how it's going on. And as long as that's handled, I feel like, you know, things can be, you know, can go okay, will be okay, you know? But if you look at it through the history of festivals, you know, this isn't the first time it happened. There's been a long history of this, you know? So I feel like if you look at the overall, you know,

view of that and you kind of like dial in, okay, what could we do better to fix this overall for general concert safety? I think we figure out the problem, you know, view of that and you kind of like dial in, okay, what could we do better to fix this overall for general concert safety? I think we figure out the problem, you know, and make it better for people to have better live experiences. Live Nation reportedly agreed to end the concert early after the Houston PD and the fire department declared it a mass casualty event, but the concert continued for another 40 minutes. Was there ever any, ever any communication to you on stage

that you should end this? Well, yeah. I mean, they just told me right after, you know, the guests get off stage, you know, we're going to end the show. And that's what we did. You know, other than that, there was no other communication.

Oh, so you mean after the guests? What you mean? Yeah, after the guests comes out, we're going to end the show. But it wasn't communication on why. You know, it was just, you know, that's what came through my ears. Oh, so they didn't say stop now. No.

Oh, gotcha, gotcha. Wow. Do you feel like people are forcing more responsibility on you because you are the front man, because it was Astroworld? Well, yeah. I mean, you know, I'm the face of the festival. You know, I'm I mean, you know, I'm the face of the festival, you know, I'm an artist, you know.

So yeah, you know, the media is, you know, they, yeah, they want to, you know, put it on me. But at the end of the day, it's like, I don't think it's more so about that. I think it's more so about stepping up to figure out what the problem is. And I could take that. I could take, you know, stepping up to figure out what the problem is. And I could take that. I could take, you know, stepping up to figure out what the problem is. I could take stepping into figuring out the solution

that had never happened again. Because that's what I generally want to do in general, even just for my community, you know. The whole idea for why I brought this festival to the city was to, you know, show that Houston is something different. You know, and show that there's all different types of lives, there's all different types of energy, and just bring that morale to the city

and just bring that energy to the city. So I definitely want to, you know, step in to figure out, you know, how can we fix this in the future? What can we do to, you know, change these things, you know? Do you feel like you did everything you possibly could to help in that situation? Yes. Yes.

Anything I physically can, sure, yes. And it just, you know, if knowing, you know, what's going on, you know, you would just wish, you know, if you, you know, could have done something better, you know, But standing there, a thousand percent. All right, we got more with Travis Scott and Charlamagne, their one-on-one conversation.

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. Now, yesterday, Charlamagne did a one-on-one interview with Travis Scott.

If you just join us, we'll play the first two parts. What's your YouTube page, Charlemagne did a one-on-one interview with Travis Scott. If you just join us, we'll play the first two parts. What's your YouTube page, Charlemagne? Yeah, it'll be up on my YouTube page shortly. My YouTube page is CTHAGOD. So, you know, if you're already subscribed to my YouTube page, thank you. I don't post content often, but when I do, it's things like this. So subscribe, and it should be up on my YouTube page shortly. All right, well, let's get to part three. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. You know, we know that the families of the people who passed

are definitely watching this right now. And, you know, there's nothing you could say to heal the trauma these families who lost loved ones are going through. But being that you know they're watching, what would you say to them directly? I'll say to them that I'm always here and that, you know, I'm in this with you guys and I love you, you know, and I'll always be there to help you guys heal through this.

And I understand that they're going through, you know, they're grieving right now and finding understanding right now. And, you know, it's not just like a right now thing. It's for everything. And these people that came to the show, they are my family. And I've always had that connection to the people I feel like that listen to the music or came to my shows. And that's why I really, you know, it's really hard on me even just, you know, to even like,

you know, even because, you know, they ended up, they lost their loved ones, you know? So it, you know So it's tough. I just wanna always just be there for them and just always just be able to just know that I'm gonna fix this for the future people, you know, and fix this solution and fix this problem, you know, and find a solution to making sure that this doesn't happen in the future and definitely be the number one voice for this.

You know, I feel like that's like one of the what we what we got to figure out, because other than that, it's like, you know, the show goes on tomorrow or, you know, something goes. How does how does, how does this get fixed? This could happen again. It's happened before. Yeah. Yeah. You're, you're, you're a father, you know, God forbid when your kids are of age, if they're in a situation like this, you know,

I want you to put yourself in those parents' shoes right now. What would, what would you want to see come of this situation? If you, I want to see people put their heads together. I want to see people really figure this out. Not take this lightly, you know, and really act on it. And that's, you know, that's one of the main things that's important. I feel like they got to just act on it. It can't just be like something that happens and it just roll over.

We got to be something that's taken serious and addressed seriously. And things formed around it. Time and a lot of time and a lot of, you know, thinking power spent on this, you know, and really fixing, you know, whatever system it is that needs to be fixed. From the lawsuits to the media coverage, do you feel like you're personally under attack? I mean, yeah, you see a name in it and it's. But at the end of the day, you step in these,

you step and you wanna do a festival and you wanna the day, you step in these, you know, you step, you want to do a festival and, you know, we want to do things and you want to build up. You know, it comes with certain things. Right. So I think it's all about how you respond to it. And I think it's all about how you react. the response that I that I that I'm that I care about more so which is you know actually you know trying to step in and you know really step up to really fixing what's happening and and really step up for the safety of concert goers or people in just live spaces period I wonder I wonder is there a way to even prepare for this? Because nobody, like you said, when you're doing the planning for a show like this, nobody is planning for this to happen.

So how do you, how do you even prepare for something like this to happen? I don't know. And I feel like when we get, I feel like when it comes out a little bit more how this could have happened i feel like that's how we can kind of attack that but even i was thinking in ways like tech solutions you know people come into these festivals with these bands that only scan you in right you have you know we have all type of tech now that can track your heart um can track your you know oxygen levels can track you're gonna be sick um you can, can track if you're going to be sick. We can put things now if you're going to get lost. It's all type of ways now. I feel like that can be

the band that only gets you access to entry or to a food line or to food trucks can now be soluble to helping save lives, can now be more of a response to people that are now on site and on ground. I feel like that could be a way. Or, you know, even just figuring out what the exact solution, what the exact problem was and dialing more into that. I think you can kind of, I feel like there is a way. I just think it needs to be time spent on figuring that out.

Have you been able to have any personal conversations with any of the families who lost loved ones? I was able to, but, you know, I just want to just respect the privacy of the conversation. I'm thankful for them for even allowing me to have the conversation. How did you feel when some of the families rejected your offer to pay for the funerals? All things are understandable and you know at a time they're grieving and they're trying to find

understanding and you know they want answers and it's not about it's not about that you know I'm always gonna be here you know to want to help them you know I'm saying and it's not gonna you know, to want to help them, you know what I'm saying? And it's not going to, you know, I got to continue to show up for that, you know? I just wanted to make sure that they knew that I was there for them, you know what I mean? And continue to be there for them. I think that's just more so what it's about for that. Yeah. Some people say your music played a role in this.

Like I've seen them, you know, cite lyrics, you know, that encourage this kind of behavior. I've seen them say your music is demonic and this was a satanic ritual. Do you think your music is to blame? I mean, no. I mean, one, I'm a man of God. So that's the first thing first. And, you know, so it's just, yeah, that's that. And, you know, your music is just like self-expression,

you know what I'm saying? And at these shows, I feel like people kind of like look at things and if you've been to a Travis show, it's been different layers of shows, you know? I think people are just, you know, misconceptions and taking things they're seeing and, you know, all types of things, you know i think people are just you know misconceptions and taking things or seeing and you know all type of things you know um and i've i've i've took pride in trying to you know grow from where i was when i first recorded music to now i'm going in music um so yeah i just think

people gotta and that's one thing with me it's just people got to kind of, you know, experience it sometimes. And I think that's what it was. You know, people were kind of like, even before, people were hearing about it and coming to experience it and taking away their own thing. And it's always going to be an outside opinion. But, you know, for the ones that, you know, really believe in me and, you know, understand what I'm about and what I'm doing,

no, that's not what I'm preaching. I always preach like love. I always preach understanding. I always preach take care of your loved ones. Love each other. You know what I'm saying? Get out your ideas. Never let yourselves be stopped.

Love one another and step into that. I mean, I think that's a part of it it but the music does encourage people to be violent at these shows i mean i mean that's what the rage is about i mean most of the music is is me sometimes talking about what i see at the shows you know what i mean um if i'm talking about the shows you know and so it's just that's just you the energy, you know what I'm saying? But the energy isn't to come and start, you know, being ultra violent and just being violent and hurting each other. That's not it's not what it's about. All right. That's part three of the conversation, a one on one conversation with Charlemagne and Travis Scott. Now, don't move. We got more coming up.

I usually we do rumors, but this is this is more important this morning. So don't move. It's the breakfast. Is your country falling apart? Well, coming up, usually we do rumors, but this is more important this morning. So don't move. It's the breakfast. 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.

We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're playing back Charlamagne's one-on-one conversation with Travis Scott. Yeah, I sat down with Travis Scott to discuss the tragedy

that happened on November 5th at Astroworld in Houston, Texas. Clearly not an easy conversation. And he wants to discuss how he can help make sure this never happens again. Which he doesn't even know what that looks like yet. But here's the conversation. Right. And we'll take some calls after this. 800-585-1051.

It's The Breakfast Club. Here's part four. You said you're a man of God. And when I even said that, you know, they say your music is satanic, I saw the face that you made. Where do you think that even comes from? Travis Scott is satanic. Travis Scott is demonic.

I just think it's just things people collect. You know, people look at the internet and they just collect and they look at things and they look at visuals. And, you know, we have all these theorists and people just thinking they're looking at visuals and don't understand, you know, just the idea of like what art may be or what you're trying to do. You know, they're just making up your own message, especially when you're not out there like yelling the message all the time. You know, it's just, yeah.

And when they say this is a community event, Astroworld. Yeah, it's a community event. So they say a community event is a satanic ritual. How does that make you feel? It's crazy because, you know, it's like I do this for people to have a good time. We have rides, we have games, things for people to get off creative experiences. The show is at the end of the day. And that show is just something based on what's, just things.

It's not like, what? Why would we wake up one day and just try to, evil is just, evil is not what we're a part of. We're not trying to be a part of that. We're trying to be a part of joy. Trying to be a part of light. Trying to be a part of full-blown happiness, love, you know, understanding, people taking care of each other. You know, community, people to leave from these experiences

and want to go out and do good. That's literally what we want. You know, we want to show them these things, you know. We put everything into the, you know, this, you know, this festival, you know, this is our third year, you know, we want to show them these things, you know, we put everything into the, you know, this, you know, this festival, you know, this is our third year, you know, so we try to put, you know, we, every year we put everything into the festival so people can enjoy it. You know, it's not about just come perform that, not that, you know, it's things for them to do all day and different artists for them to

experience too. Have the trauma of this tragedy impacted your desire to perform in the future? I've always seen performances of art of healing for me. That's why I've always been so into it.

You know, I don't know if you like, you know, looked at like some of the growth from where I've tried to take performance. I've always tried to, I feel like it's the art of healing.

I feel like it's a moment where people have a mutual understanding you know and I feel like the first things first before anything is that we address you know a lot of safety concerns I think the first things first is that because not even just for me you don't other you know artists to have to go and take a part of that trauma, take a part of that experience, take a part of that, you know, that fear. You don't want concert goers to still be a part of that fear. You want them to feel safe. You know what I'm saying?

So I think that's just the first things first. And I think once we take major steps into moving in that direction, know i feel like you know it could be cool to for for people to practice that healing again you know and understand that i don't think people should run away from it and shy away from it i think you know it's a it's a form of healing you know you know no matter what you do at any of your shows in the future regardless of how much security how much safety you put in place you cannot control human behavior. You can't control 40, 50,000 people doing whatever it is they do. Does that scare you? I mean, yeah, but you know, you also put trust in the fans too, to, you know, just have a good time. You know, you just re-instill that and, you know,

you continue to practice, you know, when you're on stage to just remind them, you know, and even when they're there to just constantly have messages to remind them, like, yo, look, you here to have a good time. We're not here. If you see somebody, you know, help another, you know, I think it's just continuing to re-instill that message. I think, uh, help that mindset. Yeah. So, so Astroworld was one of, you know, several ways you gave back

to houston do you think you've you know lost that privilege to do that to be honest i haven't really like thought about that because i've just been thinking about just community healing and you know the family's healing and you know all those things kind of building back up um that's that that could take forever, though. You know, I don't know if you ever truly heal from these type of situations. Yeah. And, you know, but, you know, through these things, you know, like I say, music is part of healing.

And at the end of the day, I don't, I just don't, you know, a Travis Scott show or, you know, an Astroworld show, you know, wasn't the bottom line factor of what happened here, you know. And I think we just got to figure out what that was, what happened. But, you know, having a Travis Scott show, you know, we've done shows, you know, all over. That wasn't the, you know, what happened here, you know, something that happened here, you know. And that's why we want to fix it because it can happen anywhere. You know what I'm saying? the, you know, what happened here, you know, something that happened here, you know, and that's why we want to fix it because it can happen anywhere.

You know what I'm saying? And I think once we get further along in that, I think, you know, you know, it'd be more a little bit more receptive. I feel. Does it make you feel judged when you see videos, you know, circulating of other artists stopping their shows like the check on fans since since Astroworld? It's almost like the insinuation from other artists is that like you didn't do enough so we don't want to be like travis i take it as you know they're just taking extra precautions

you know because it might not have been something that you know was running through their mind at a time before and they're just taking extra precautions to make sure they don't run through the same problems. And I can commend them for that. I've always done the same thing in my prior shows and at this show, so I feel them. I just think it's been a little bit more, people are more capturing it now

like because of what's going on. I think that's just a little bit more, people are more capturing it now, like because of what's going on, I think that's just how the media works. If the families of the victims never forgive you, will you ever be able to forgive yourself? Can you live with that? Nah, it's tough. You know, it's real tough. Because I want them to really know that

my intentions wasn't to, you know, wasn't to harm their family at all. It was for them to come and have a good experience. I've always felt like I have a connection with my fans, you know, through the music. I feel like when they come to see me, it's not just like, oh, they're coming. It's like a connection. And, you know, sometimes not knowing, you know, people not understanding like artists and where we come in, it's like a connection. And, you know, sometimes not knowing, you know,

people not understanding like artists and where we come from, it could be a disconnect. And, you know, I would love to, you know, instead of understanding, you know, for them to truly know where my heart's from. You know, it didn't come for me to harm. It wasn't about a show to keep, you know, at all. You know, it's about for them to have, you know, one of the, you know, very good time.

And it's just tragic that it didn't turn out that way, you know. So I guess my final question, man, who does Travis Scott ultimately, I guess, think is responsible for this tragedy? You know, something tragic happened here. Well, what I've just been trying to, you know, get to the bottom of is just what happened here, how it happened here.

And I, you know, I think the families are owed, you know, that. I feel like, you know, the community is owed that. I feel like we're owed that to just know what happened here. I don't want to just speak too soon. I just want to figure out what happened. You know they're going to pick this interview apart. So is there anything you want to say

to your fans, to the family of people who lost loved ones before we get out of here? I mean, I just want everyone to just continue praying for the fans. I want people to continue praying for the ones, the fans that was lost. I want people to continue praying for the fans. I want people to continue praying for the ones, the fans that was lost.

You know, I want people to continue praying for the families. I want people to continue just reaching out for healing. I think the more we try to, you know, continue to let people grieve and continue to be there for people and, you know, check in more people and, you know, check in on your loved ones and just, you know, I think that's just, like, one of the most important things, you know, check in more people, and, you know, check in on your loved ones, and just, you know, I think that's just, like,

one of the most important things, you know. Staying strong through this while we, you know, figure out what's going on, you know, and bring understanding to these families and to the community. That's what we're going to do. We're going to send healing energy to everybody involved, the families, you know, those who were lost, yourself,

because nobody wants tragedies like this to happen. Yeah, not at all. So preventing them moving forward is the only thing we can do. Yeah. Appreciate you, brother.

Charlamagne got an opportunity to kick it with Travis Scott. Yeah, you just heard some of it. I think we might have aired like 20 minutes of it. The full conversation is up on my YouTube page right now, at Cthagod, C-T-H-A-G-O-D. It's about 50 minutes long in total. So let me ask you a question. Yeah, I heard some of this. But so first, who reached out and why did he decide to have this conversation? Because most people would be like, well, you know, should he have a conversation or should he, you know, because it's an ongoing court case?

I mean, there's people who reached out, you know, people who reached out to me, you know, told me he wanted to have a conversation. Asked me if I wanted to sit down with him. I'm like, sure. You know, I don't have I don't you know, I think it was a tragic situation. I don't think, you know, even after sitting down with him, I think what I always thought, you know, it was a tragedy at epic proportions. And I don't know if there's one person to blame in a situation like this. Like many, many, many things have to go wrong for something like this to happen. And when you're dealing with these kind of events, you know, the one thing you're relying on the most to keep people safe is human behavior. And honestly, you know, even in the future, I don't know how you control human behavior when you're dealing with, you know, these types of large crowds.

So, you know, I think he's got a lot of personal remorse. But as I told him in the conversation, there's absolutely nothing you could say to heal the trauma these families who lost loved ones are going through. But he conveyed his emotions and, you know, what he wants to do moving forward the best he could. So, all right. Well, I don't know. Let's take your phone calls you guys heard the interview what are your thoughts 800-585-1051 uh let's talk about it as a community all right i know we're on in houston so we would love to hear from you guys as well but call us up 800-585-1051 it's The Breakfast Club.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we played the one-on-one conversation with Travis Scott and Charlemagne, and he talked about a lot.

He talked about Astro Festival and what went down and his feelings and what he wants to do moving on. But we want to take some calls from you. So 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? Yo, this Ghost, man. Ghost, what's up, bro? What are your thoughts

after hearing that interview? Peace, Ghost. Yeah, man. What up, y'all guys? Yeah, man. Trav, I know Trav. I went by his house after the incident.

And as far as the interview is concerned, I understand because as an artist, we know the process. We know how promoters and other people are involved. We know where the liability lies. We know that basically we're almost a hired performer. So Trav, I feel, was very transparent, and he did what nobody expected him to do and probably most people wouldn't have wanted him to do, which is talk right now.

But I think it was a good interview. They definitely didn't want him to. Exactly. You know what I'm telling you? Like I said, I went by his house about a week after that, man. He just was standing there looking like, you know, wow, what's happening here? I didn't even know Travis Scott?

Wait a minute. Ghost, how are you able just to go by Travis Scott? I live in Houston, bro. I'm a music producer. Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you. I live in the city, so I'm not one to cast everybody know about, but behind the scenes, I do what I do, you know. Well, thank you for calling, brother.

Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Gia. How are you? Hey, Gia. How are you? I'm good. Just gonna steal my wife's name, huh? Just gonna steal my wife's name, huh? I know. It's so funny. My name is Gia Marie, and when I listen to you guys and you say Gia, it's like an eerie moment. It's like, oh my gosh, because

it's not a common name. I live in Houston. I've been here for 12 years now. And after hearing about the tragedy, I wanted to dissect it. At first, I wanted to understand where Travis is coming from. It's very challenging, especially with someone sitting in front of you asking questions, right? For you to really get in touch with all of your emotions, to have the correct words, to make people feel at ease, or so that they know you're incorporating emotional intelligence

or just so many emotions that he's feeling right now. I think that he did a really good job in expressing himself in the moment. Probably after the interview, he thought of saying a lot of things more as we all do. But speaking of the tragedy, Charlamagne hit it. You know, there's so many variables. You really can't pinpoint anything. So many things went wrong from the people that went to the performers. And it's a teaching moment.

Now, we all want to be proactive as opposed to reactive. And as humans, that's not always the case. I believe that going forward, it will create the – this is something that will be a teachable moment, as I stated. And going forward, they will try to look at other things. But I do want to say something. Lastly, I have one kid at home, you know, my last kid that's going to go through college and she lost Travis Scott. Right. And she wanted to go to the concert. So as a parent, I'm not putting any other parent down. I know there was an eight year old at the I can't tell any parent what to do. All I ask is that going forward you

understand the type of of concept that he gives do your research it's upbeat tempo throughout the entire concert he doesn't have someone in the middle of the concert come sing a ballad right to minimize the energy that doesn't happen it's upbeat tempo there's fire going everyone's emotions are going you have to take into someone popping a molly before they go. What is going to be the interaction? I also took in consideration. Okay, let's see the venue. How much money does the venue hold? They're not going to have seats. They're going to be standing up when they said that the venue was sold out to me, to me, that man, it was oversold, right? So I took all of that and I told my daughter, you can't go. I just don't think it's a situation where if something happens, you know, I'm going to be very concerned. And that's what you have to think about. I'm not saying that you take those variables and say, hey, don't go to his concert because he's not always sold out. The venue may be bigger.

It may be a different dynamic. I don't know. But you have to consider that when you let your young person go who's in high school or younger than that, you have to do things differently. Make better decisions when it comes to those young people, not tarnishing any parent. I'm just saying that's the choice that I made when it came to my daughter wanting to go to the concert. And the other thing is in being proactive. Lastly, one of the parents who was at the hotel across the street, he said he told his son, when you go on the concert, you know, the Bible says, peace be still. When you go on the concert and things start going awry, find you a place somewhere and just sit. Now that young man sit for two hours

until he was able to walk outside. Now, panic is an emotion. If it wasn't an emotion, it wouldn't be in the dictionary, right? We know that when you panic, you're not thinking clearly, you're acting irrationally, and things can happen as a result of that. So there's a lot of panic and all of that happened. We know that.

But I do believe also Yeah, and it's, I wish you, it's easy to say all of that after the fact. Thank you, Mama. Yeah, and you're dealing with young kids, man. And we'll take some more calls. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we played an interview, a one-on-one conversation with Charlamagne the guy We are The Breakfast Club Now if you just joined us We played a interview A one-on-one conversation With Charlemagne And Travis Scott

And we're just taking your calls Getting your feedback on it And what you guys' thoughts Let's go to the phone lines Hello, who's this? Hey man, it's Steven Hey, what's up Steven? What were your thoughts, brother?

Man, so first of all I gotta say I love listening to y'all My girlfriend and I We enjoy listening to y'all Every single morning But I do want to say that Real quick, so I mean, but I sat there And I listened to the whole. My girlfriend and I, we enjoy listening to y'all every single morning. But I do want to say that real quick.

So, I mean, I sat there and I listened to the whole thing, man. And I've been listening to it since, like, it first happened. And just listening to Charlamagne's conversation, I know it's hard to convey true feelings or something like that. But it just didn't sound like true, like he was beating around the bush with a lot of answers. I felt like he was avoiding some questions. And there are a lot of times that he just kept kind of repeating the same thing for different questions.

And you don't want to take full responsibility for something like this. No one does. But common sense as an adult, you know we know true right from wrong we know we have a level a certain level of responsibility for something that has occurred even if you don't say yeah i paid for responsibility you can simply acknowledge the fact that yeah i i feel like there was some things that i could have done because no you can't control that many people but you have to understand that you are the center of attention. People are going to follow the energy that you are putting off.

So even if you're talking about the energy. You don't think he expressed that, though? I feel like he did, but he didn't. Like, even when you ask him, like, don't you think that your music itself kind of gives this message, like it incites this type of behavior. And he says no, but when you look at the lyrics in his past concerts, like, this is the first one that this right here has had specifically all these deaths,

but it's not the first one where there was an overcrowd of people and the crowd was just, you was just not able to be contained. And yeah, there are concerts that are a lot bigger than his, but I'm more sure that those can be delegated and just kind of... It can be managed. Anyone can

manage it. You know what I'm saying? I just feel like a lot of it was he was just beating around the bush for a lot of people. Well, thank you for your pity. We got a lot of people on the line. We got bush with a lot of people. Well, thank you for your opinion. We got a lot of people on the line. We got a lot of people to get to. But thank you so much, brother.

Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Remy from Houston. Hey, Remy, what are your thoughts, mama? I would say as a person who was at the concert, I forgive Travis with my whole heart. Being there, we had no clue that people around us were dying and you know like leaving the concert we I had survivors remorse because I felt so bad that I had a good time and people like these babies around me were dying and so you know like as a community I think that this is going to strengthen us um but Travis should not be solely at fault because like it was wild out there.

It was crazy. And at some point, you know, like you have to be responsible for yourself. And these kids, they were out of control. That's all I have to say. You know, and like we were in the center of the crowd and it was like, OK, we got to get out. Like this is like we formed a human chain to get out because I knew I felt imminent danger. So, you know, it's about self-responsibility, self-control. And, you know, my heart and prayers go out to the family and just to the Houston community as a whole. Thank you so much. Hello. Who's this? Good morning, Nicole.

Nicole, what were your thoughts? So, I mean, I feel like that we should not be putting all the blame on Travis Scott. I mean, as an artist, there's only so much that he can do in that situation. And I get that he's the face and the image of it for it. But there's only so much that we can blame him for. But one thing I'm really concerned about is the narrative around his music being demonic or these events being satanic. The whole, you know, premises of doing rage music, that him, Uzi, XX Contaccion, Juice WRLD, it was about therapy. It was about getting out certain emotions that they weren't allowed to get out in the natural public, in the world.

So they come to these events. They come to these festivals. They yell. They scream. They cry. They weld their arms. But it's never an event to promote, hey, go punch this person, go fight, let's go do this. It's really a rage of getting out emotions. And if you go through therapy, which Travis Scott does,

he'll tell you themselves, you know, they'll say, get out those emotions, be vocal, give it sound. And that's what that whole rage concept is about. So this whole narrative that it's demonic or satanic when it's actually the complete opposite. And I feel like that's kind of making this situation way worse for him. When you have people saying, oh, it's an Illuminati, he was, you know, killing off

people, and it's none of that at all. I think we have to be realistic. How old are you, Queen? If you don't mind me asking. I think we have to be realistic. How old are you, Queen? If you don't mind me asking. I'm 30. I grew up, of course there was heavy metal and rock and roll, but I grew up on crunk with 3-6 Mafia

and Lil Jon. I do remember people saying that about 3-6 Mafia. I think it was more so because of their name, the 3-6's. But to your point, yeah, that's the kind of music and energy we grew up on we didn't label it demonic and satanic though maybe maybe the adults around us did i don't know that's why that's why i wanted to ask you well thank you thank you for calling mama

emo music i mean it's hip-hop emo if anything i mean it's the emotional it's a way for these young black men to get out certain emotions and feelings. It's the same with the drill music. It's all the same. But we can't place that blame on Travis at all. All right. Well, thank you for calling. All right. Well, if you want to see the full interview, you can check that out on what's your YouTube page, Charlamagne? At C to God, C-T-H-A-G-O-D.

And, you know, once again, sending definite healing energy and condolences to the family who lost, you know, loved ones on November 5th at Astroworld. But I think I think Travis expressed himself the best way he could, you know, due to the circumstances of the situation. All right. And shout to everybody. I mean, it was so many people on the line and we had to cut a lot of people off because so many people wanted to talk. We just appreciate you guys for checking in, especially for people that actually went to the show that have to relive this over and over and over again every time somebody talks about it. So I just want to say thankful, and we're grateful that you guys checked in. All right? Now, coming up next, we got your rumor report.

I'm sure the conversation will keep going. It's already going on social media. So, you know, we're ahead of the rest of the week. That's right. All right, when we come back, we got your rumor rest of the week. That's right. All right. When we come back, we got your rumor report. Kanye and Drake,

they have a show tonight. We'll give you some updates on that. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I know you've all heard

about the Ye and Drake benefit concert in L.A. tonight. But also Prime Video and Amazon Music will exclusively live stream the show. You can start the live stream at midnight for free on Prime Video or Amazon Music. Ye has dedicated the benefit concert

to raising awareness of the need for prison and sentencing reform. With a portion of the proceeds going to a nonprofit advocates. The two hour performance, hashtag free Larry Hoover benefit concert will also be available on demand on Prime Video following the live stream event. Watch tonight on Prime Video.

This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Now Kanye and Drake's Free Larry Hoover concert is tonight at 8 p.m. Pacific, which is 11 p.m. Eastern Time. Now, reportedly, they're spending $10 million on their budget. Now, this $10 million is going to handle production costs, stage construction, event staff, security, and more. They said Ye and Drake have been reportedly rehearsing at an off-site location. So they've been practicing. They've been taking it serious. Yeah, I would think a lot of that budget would go to security at a time like this.

You know what I mean? Especially since, if I'm not mistaken, Drake's last show was Astroworld, right? I mean, just, you know, because the concert of this magnitude with Drake, Kanye, is probably going to be a lot of people in the venue, a lot of people outside the venue. You got to make sure that whole scene is absolutely secure.

Right. Absolutely right. Now, Ye has partnered with Amazon Music and the fans will have the opportunity to stream the concert for free tonight through Prime. It will be shown at select IMAX theaters across the United States as well, which is pretty dope. Now, also, Tory Lanez,

he was performing and somebody started fighting and he stopped his show and tried to get them to stop fighting and he did it in an unusual way. Tell my man right there no fighting.

Look man. Come on. No f***ing fighting. I'm already dealing with it now f***ing. I ain't dealing with it. I ain't trying to catch

another case in this bitch. F*** him. Just chill. No in this bitch. I'm fighting. Just chill. I'm fighting. I'm another fucking fighting. I'm dealing with enough shit. I'm dealing with some rough shit, some tough shit. I don't need somebody trying to sue me for some buck shit.

Yeah, so I guess they did stop fighting. Talented. Very talented. And Tory Lane is a talented young man. Absolutely. Shout out to Tory Lane. He Tory Lane is a talented young man. Absolutely. Shout out to Tory Lane. He's going to have some of his cars at my car show over the weekend, by the way, too. And Talented Creator.

He launches his own fragrance line. Do you know what it smells like, Charlamagne? What would you guess it smells like? I have no idea. Well, it's a layered set. I mean, I have no idea. It's a layered set made up of an aroma cocktail containing musk, sandalwood for the base with elements of mandarin, nasi pear, lychee,

mongolia, I guess, or mongolia, I don't know what that is, mimosa, jasmine, rose, all mixed together. I have no idea what any of those things smell like individually. I don't even know what 90% of the stuff you said smelled like. You said musk, and I was like, why would somebody want to smell like musk?

But it's musk, right? Yeah, I don't know what musk smells like. It's M-U-S-K, not M-U-S-T. No, M-U-S-K, musk. Is it musk or musk? When somebody say you musty, is it musty or musky? I know we say musty, but I thought it was musky. Boy, you musty, isn't he? Yeah, but I thought that was stink.

I don't know. Boy, you musty, isn't he? Or is it boy, you musty? Oh, it's musty. It's musty. No, it's musty. I don't know. Boy, you musky, ain't he? Or is it boy, you musty? Oh, it's musty. No, it's musty. It's musty. M-U-S-T-Y. All right.

Well, and lastly, Nori, N-O-R-E. Of course, he's about to drop this interview with Alicia Keys. He speaks to Alicia Keys about who would be another versus if she wanted to do it. Who would you want to battle? Who y'all think I should be with on the show? Who? Wow. Sade.

Sade. But Erykah Badu did Jill Scott, which was one of my favorites. Beyonce. Beyonce. You said that, Charlie? Beyonce or Rihanna. Rihanna.

That's hard. That's a good one. That's hard. That's a good one. All right. I like that. Me, B, or Rih? Y'all fall. I like that. Me, B, or Rih? Y'all fall for it.

Yeah. Me, B, or Rih? I love it. So, I mean, I would love to see that again. Would you? Alicia Keys versus Beyonce or Rihanna. I don't know if I want to see that. I don't know if I want to see Alicia Keys versus Beyonce or Rihanna.

I don't think so. I'd rather see Beyonce versus Rihanna. Yeah, or Beyonce versus Mariah. Beyonce versus Mariah. Hmm. That's interesting. I think Beyonce will take Mariah. Mariah got more number ones, but Beyonce got more cultural smashes.

Absolutely. I personally think. Yeah. All right. And that's what works in Versus and Versus. It's about those cultural records. Absolutely. I personally think. Yeah. All right. And that's what works in Versus and Versus. It's about those cultural records.
