long way. I think that y'all have a certain amount of respect for, you know, what everybody else does, and y'all are just the best at what y'all do. This platform, the reach y'all have that you've earned, makes space for somebody like me. You guys have a direct line to the culture. Oh, my God, I'm on the radio with Angela Charlemagne

It's Hump Day. Middle of the week. Good morning. It definitely is the middle of the week. What's happening? How y'all feeling? How's everything out there? I'm blessed black and highly favored, man. God is good. And Loki

is on Marvel. So let's hurry up and get this day over with so I can get home and watch Loki. What the hell is Loki? Don't worry about it. This is for the Marvel heads only. Like Loki? Loki. That's right. This is for the Marvel heads only. Like low-key? Low-key. That's right. I bet you like that one.

He's a huge character in the Marvel Universe, and his TV show starts today on Disney+. What does he do? What is his features? I'm not here to explain things to you, sir. I'm just asking a question. Okay. Does he shoot stuff? Trust me, it's a multi-billion dollar franchise.

People know who I'm talking about. Don't worry about it. Everything's not for everybody. I don't ask you about Beijing. Don't ask me about Loki. You ask me about Bachelorette? No, I don't. I asked you about it. That's right. I could care less. And I don't know anything about Beijing.

The country. Oh, I thought that was another Marvel person. No. Beijing? No, that would be Black Man. Beijing would be Black Man. That would be dope now. Captain Beijing and it would be Envy. Beijing would be black man. That would be dope now. Captain Beijing in a VNV. I'll play that character.

You have no choice. You play him every day. I don't know what you're talking about with Beijing. You don't have it that much no more, though. You must have found somebody new. What are you talking about? Okay, never mind. How are you, Angelique?

I'm doing good. Okay. I was losing my voice yesterday. I think whenever I don't get enough sleep, that's what starts to happen. But I'm feeling a little bit better good. Okay. I was losing my voice yesterday. I think whenever I don't get enough sleep, that's what starts to happen. But I'm feeling a little bit better today. Okay. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking, ladies and gentlemen.

Front page news. What are we talking about? Well, in the state of Washington, if you get vaccinated, you can get a complimentary marijuana joint. Oh, Lord have mercy. Joints for jabs. I've never seen anything like this in my life. I didn't grow up.

This is the first era I grew up in where it was a mass vaccine. So I'm wondering, is this normal? Who they giving stuff away when they were giving away polio vaccines and all types of stuff back in the day? No. Jesus Christ, man. You get a polio, you get a beer. I don't know.

I've never heard of that. And who they catering to? But Washington weed is legal in Washington, though, right? It is. Yeah. What if I don't smoke, though? That's no incentive. Well, take this joint and sell it.

Make a little money. Maybe you could start. All right. Well, we'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Where they be at when they say they doing all this and all that.

Morning, everybody. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Start off with basketball. Now some NBA awards. Most improved player, Julius Randle from the New York Knicks. No brainer. No brainer.

Coach of the year, Tom Thibodeau from the Knicks. No-brainer. All right. Now, finalist for the rookie of the year hasn't been chosen yet. I think LaMelo Ball will get that. We'll see. And defensive player of the year looks like it's between Ben Simmons, Draymond Green, and Rudy Gobert.

Rudy Gobert. What is it, Gobert? Gobert. Rudy Gobert. Yeah. Last night, the 76ers. Didn't the Joker win the MVP? Or am I tripping? Yeah. MVP. Yep. Now, you forget that one. That's the big one. Yeah, yeah. Last night, the 76ers beat the Hawks 118-102.

The Utah Jags beat the Clippers 112-109. All right. Now, tonight, I think the Nets play, right? Yeah, and listen, I think the Nets are going to take it all. Bucks and seven. I think so, too. Not bucks and eight anymore? Why would it be bucks and eight?

That's what you said yesterday. But anyway. It was a joke. It's only a seven-game series. I was joking, too. Oh. This guy. Bucks and seven.

No way. You guys don't get each other's jokes. No. You're not in sync this morning. We're not close anymore. Come give me a hug. No. I don't want to hug you.

What else we talk about, Yee? Alright, well, Washington State is doing their Joints for Jabs program to promote COVID-19 vaccinations. And what they're going to do is if you go during this time period, which is through July 12th, state licensed cannabis retailers will

give you one free pre-rolled joint if you're 21 or older when you get your first or second dose. I have never in my life seen them put something like this on people. It kind of cheapens the importance of it. Don't you think? If the vaccine is so important, it should sell itself. I should not have to offer you a joint in order to smoke this. I mean, to take this damn vaccine.

Yeah, but a lot of people don't want to do it. So they're trying to give incentives to do it. Like, for instance, you didn't take the vaccine yet. Nope. And guess what? Weed ain't going to make me take it easy. Well, that's for you. But for some people, weed might be.

Say, you know what? I'm going to take it. I might as well take it, get some weed from it. You didn't, was against it for a while, and then finally decided to do it. I never said I was against it. I just hadn't done it yet. I was waiting a minute.

I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I'm just not in no rush. I don't need to be on the front lines. But I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I'm just not in no rush. I don't need to be on the front lines. But I do not understand the whole point of all of these incentives they're offering for this vaccine. I do think that convenience is what helps people. Like if you can go certain places and get it easily and not have to go through a lot. I think that's something that will incentivize people.

Because I know when I did mine, it was spontaneous. Because it was just right there. It was an easy thing to do. I knew eventually I was planning to do it, you know, because like, for instance, I was just talking

to somebody yesterday who's going to Egypt and he was saying before he goes, he's going to get vaccinated. And I'm like, well, then you might as well do it

sooner than later because you know you're going to have to do it and it's a process like you get your first shot, then you got to wait three weeks, get your second shot, then you're not fully vaccinated until two weeks after that so the more you stall and what

if you don't smoke weed and what demographic are they catering to with it i feel like they're catering to a certain demographic i don't know about that in the state of washington a lot of white people a lot of white people i didn't say what the demographic was i just said they catered to a certain demographic what demographic it could be young kids you know what i mean it could be young white kids young black kids i just feel like they're catering to a certain demographic. What demographic? It could be young kids. You know what I mean? It could be young white kids, young black kids. I just feel like they're catering to a certain group of people when they say joints. Even the phrase joints for jabs. Well, that sounds older.

That sounds definitely older. Young kids are older person trying to sound cool. I think it's just because of the two J's. It just sounds cool to them. Joints for jabs. Alright, now a lot of Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine doses may be close to expiring. So what they're saying is. Nobody wants to take that one.

No one wants that. After they paused the distribution of that one previously, I guess a lot of people don't want to take it. So now there's millions of doses that can potentially go to waste. They said in a couple of weeks, some of those are going to expire. So they're trying to figure out a way to get people to do this one and that's the one that has just one dose. And it also is kind of a shot in the face to people in other places

and other countries that haven't been able to get the vaccine and they have shortages. So imagine that we have all of these here that are just going to go to waste. So what are they going to do to offer us? What incentive are they going to offer us to take that stale last vaccine? I don't know. I have no idea. All right.

Well, that is your Front Page News. All right. 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.

So the difference between surface earth and flat earth, man, we got to get on the top of this one.

We got to. Oh, boy. So you believe in the flat earth? Surface earth and flat earth? What is surface earth, sir? Okay, well, you know the earth that they say, you know, the regular earth side that they say go on now. The one you live on.

Yeah. Okay. A soul car live on. Okay, so if you say we live on that, Charlamagne, which I disagree on that, then how can you get, okay, if you was a Christian, which I'm not, but if you was a Christian, you was taught that on the sixth day, God made something that separated the heavens, the heavens above and earth. So that would be something like a firmament, right? I don't believe everything in the Bible, but tell me, I need to know before we even continue this conversation, what do you think we're living

on before we even continue? What are we living on right now? You want to hang up the phone, but... No, I don't. I asked you a question. I think we kind of live on something like it's kind of black, but we have like a dome on top of it. Okay. We in a globe.

Okay, no doubt. Yeah, I feel like We in a globe. Okay, no doubt. Yeah, yeah. I feel like we in a globe. But at the same time... Do you want to go to outer space? Do you think somebody shakes the globe every now and then to make it snow? Come on, man. I'm just asking a question.

What's wrong? No, seriously. Seriously. Like, how can... Okay, if you can explain that, seriously. Seriously. Like, how can, okay, if you can't explain that, man, explain to me how can you see a rainbow. Rainbows is always a reflection of something. It's always a reflection of something.

That's what rainbow, everybody knows, everybody knows rainbows are when angels are eating Lucky Charms. And the Lucky Charms bowl is reflecting off the dome. And that's what causes a rainbow. And sometimes you shake it and you get a rainbow. Well, he made a lot of good points this morning. Thanks for calling. Have a good day, sir. Man, come on,

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's 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 Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my 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!

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.

It means virginal. It means virginal. It means fair dealing. And the reality of the state of this America that has turned something beautiful into something abominable. And I rebuke that in the name of Jesus. As you should. Right now. Right now it means problematic white women. But what's so crazy about it is none of these women that are problematic are named Karen.

Nope. I know. They're usually Heathers and Tiffany. Yes. That's what's wild. Well, what's up, Karen? Listen, I wanted to address the fact that both of you, I'm talking about the men, no offense, Angela, that you have younger children. Yes, ma'am.

And what I do is I write books and poetry and stuff like that for a father or mother can read to their kids and not go brain dead as they're reading it. Now, I have this story that I'm writing, and I've rewritten it. I got a bunch of the conversions. You can check it out online. The title is called Shepherd, Soldier, Sovereign. It's about King David, the second greatest king of Israel there ever was, better than Saul and his son Solomon. And it goes to his shepherd state as a runaway soldier, free from Saul and then his third state as the sovereign of all of Israel. But I'm at the first state when he's becoming a shepherd.

Can you send it to us? The kids are going to love that. Where can we order it? Where can we order it? Well, you can read it. I'm on a website called poetishes.com. And once you write it

on Poetishes, you are already published. And what's the name of it? The story is Shepherd, Soldier, Sovereign. Shepherd, Soldier, Sovereign. Okay. Shepherd, Soldier, Sovereign. Shepherd Soldier Sovereign. Okay. Shepherd Soldier Sovereign.

I'm just giving you my first name, Karen. See if you like it. If you like it, I'll send it out to you guys. You can read it to your children. Alright. I'll check it out, mama. I'll check it out. Yeah. What's up, Trav? Hey, Trav.

Hey, what's up, sir? Peace, sis. How are you? I'm doing good. Envy? Yes, sir. I was going to say, Trav? Peace, sis. How are you? I'm doing good. Envy? Yes, sir. I was going to say, Envy, I'm glad to see that you came back comfortable in the grand, Envy. I saw you posted up in your little biker's outfit. Oh, boy.

You got riding hard, I'd say, with the boys. You know what, Trav? I didn't want to say it because I know where it was going to go, but my ass hurts, man. Wait, what? I rode the other day. Oh, I didn't know what you were going to say. Trav, don't let him flirt with you like that, Trav. That's a setup.

If you just tune in, I ride bikes. All I know is I wasn't listening for a second. All I heard was Envy say my ass hurts. I was riding. I ride bikes. And all the bike riders out there know when you first get back into it, your ass hurt a little bit. Nah, I heard flirting, bro. That man said, I didn't want to tell you this, but my

ass hurts. He too tired to do something. I'm just waiting for the end fight. Your ass hurt a little bit. Nah, I heard flirting, bro. That man said, I didn't want to tell you this, but my ass hurts. Oh, my God. Like, he too tired to do something. I'm just waiting for the invite. I'm about to ride with you and the boys. No, you're not riding behind us the whole way, so no. I see. That would be nice.

Huh? Hey, Trav. I'm so excited. I don't know about me. I know you probably not going to go into it right now. But I'll let you know that I'm excited for Yee Day. Yay. Yes. Listen, Trav, I have so much happening

because that's going to be the grand opening of my coffee shop, too. Oh, that's why we're talking about it. Yeah, it's going to be a fun-filled weekend. I'm never going to go into it, but I can't wait for you

to start dropping this button. All right. Thanks, Trav. All right, y'all. Bye. Later. Now, when is Angel Yee Day? August 28th every year. August 28th. All right. Thanks, Trav. All right, y'all. Bye. Later. Now, when is Angel E Day? August 28th every year.

August 28th. And we're doing it in person this year. It's a Saturday this year, too, which is amazing. Saturday, August 28th. Mm-hmm. Reason I know is because that's when I had my car show.

That's so disrespectful. I didn't know it was Angel E Day, and then when I found out it was Angel E Day, I changed it. Now my car show's August 14th. I think it's two weeks beforehand. Okay.

So I didn't want to bump into your Angel Yee day. That's fine. Anyway, so Angela Yee day is going to be going down in Brooklyn, so keep it locked. There's going to be more details coming up shortly if you want to hang out with Angela Yee and all the give back that she does for Angela Yee day. Now, up next is your rumor report. What are we talking about?

Madea's back. Are y'all excited? We'll tell you what's happening. All right. And also, Charlamagne, you know it's your guy's birthday today. Who? T.D. Jake. Is that Bishop T.D. Jake's birthday? I was literally listening to T.D. Jake's. I mean, I listen to him damn near every morning, but I listened to him

this morning. His Life After Death sermon from two weeks ago. Incredible. Yeah, so if you're out there, send T.D. Jake some love for his birthday and rumors is up next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, this is pretty amazing. Pharrell does not think the public school system in Virginia is working. So he's opening a private network for low-income families.

He put out a press release. He said, if the system is fixed and unfair, then it needs to be broken. We don't want lockstep learning where so many kids fall behind. We want bespoke learning designed for each child

where the things that make a child different are the same things that will make a child rise up and take flight. I think that's dope. I actually think that they should have

more after-school programs. And I don't know if they have to be actually connected with the educational system. Just people that can teach folks vocational things like trades and teach them about real estate or SEL.

A lot of these things people can take into their own hands and do after school. You gotta make it fun. You gotta make kids want to do it. As a kid, you wanted to play basketball because it was fun. You wanted to rap. You wanted to make it fun. Like you got to make kids want to do it. Like, you know, as a kid, you wanted to play basketball because it was fun. You wanted to rap. You wanted to do those things.

So you just got to make it fun and interesting. But I agree. I had to go to school after school on Wednesdays and all day Saturday, not because I wanted to. My parents made me.

But I bet you learned a lot of stuff you didn't learn in regular school. It was regular. It was just advanced, you know, preparation for high school when I was younger.

Y'all want to laugh? At the car show, I have a NASCAR team, and they're going to teach the kids how to change tires. They need to teach you. Exactly. That's the real thing. I actually got a flat right now. It needs to happen. But yeah, we're going to teach the kids how to change tires.

Just do fun things. Or how to get run flat tires. All right. Well, the first school is going to be opening on September 7th. That's exciting. All right. Now, Gap has dropped their first item from the Kanye Yeezy collab. I was looking at this yesterday.

And by the way, one of our producers, Dan, actually could have bought it but waited too long thinking about it. And it's $200 and it's a jacket. And they said there were over 50,000 users on the site within the first 30 minutes of that launch. So it was overwhelmed and then it was sold out that fast. Now correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not a fashionista. Isn't it summertime? You don't wear jackets in the summertime, do you? Yeah, but seasonally when people release things, it's for the next season.

Because I saw him wearing it. It's kind of early. I saw him with it on like last week. Well, because he's selling it. But it was 90 degrees in LA. Yeah, it didn't make sense. But he was selling it to the people. It was a setup.

But usually when items come out, like when you go to the store, right now they're preparing for fall in stores. So you'll get it in the fall. Yeah, they do. Absolutely. That's when those collections come in. Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, summertime.

All right, now Kanye West also has been named Songwriter of the Year at the 2021 BMI Trailblazers of Gospel Music Awards, so congratulations to him on that. Dropping the clues bombs for Yeezus. All right. Tyler Perry is bringing Madea back. And here's what he said. Okay, I want to take I want to add that.

Sorry. Madea. Madea. This is Tyler Perry saying, This is Madea saying I'm coming back and I'm on Netflix. I can't wait to tell you so guys out there. That's how you get all the grandmas and aunties excited right there, boy. It's a Madea homecoming.

So they're saying that's going to be out on Netflix in 2022. I mean, you don't ever really retire a character like Madea. I mean, sometimes you just got to give people a break from something so they miss it. I mean, we grew up on Madea. We can't act like she's not an iconic character. Look, a Madea family funeral made $75 million at the global box office. So we thought a couple years ago that was going to be it. But Madea's back.

All right, and I'll tell you who's not back. Chris Harrison is officially gone from the Bachelor franchise. And he posted. You all right, Emby? He's gone? What do I mean? He's the host. He's the one that hosts and sets everything up.

And they let him go? Well, apparently, he posted, I've had a truly incredible run as host of the Bachelor franchise. And now I'm excited to start a new chapter. I'm so grateful to Bachelor Nation for all of the memories we've made together. While my two-decade journey is wrapping up, the friendships I've made will last a lifetime. Wow.

I didn't see that coming. Yeah. And, you know, they're saying that he actually demanded a $25 million payout after being booted from the show, and he threatened to spill all of their dirty secrets if he didn't get that money because he has nearly 20 years of dirt. So he wanted to do this whole. Wow.

So he got fired. Well, if you remember, it was this whole thing about him excusing. And you can explain it. I don't know nothing about. Yes, you do, because we talked about it up here. The whole racism. The girl had the antebellum party. So the girl that won last year.

She's a white girl. She won the heart of the of the brother, the black brother. But it came out that she attended an antebellum party and he came out and defended her. It was like, oh, that happened. If this would have happened five years ago, it wouldn't even be a big deal. And people were upset about it. Van Lathan, they did a podcast about it and it went viral and he got suspended. But the fact that they fired him.

And he apologized at the time. I thought Rachel was black. Van does a podcast about Rachel. No, viral and he got suspended but the fact that they fired him and he apologized at the time I thought Rachel was black Van does a podcast with Rachel no it's a different Rachel yeah so the fact that they fired him

is wow I didn't see that one coming hey man hashtag I don't care but he did get a settlement he did get a settlement who's the new host I hope they kept

the brother on there Annalise they're saying Emmanuel Acho what the hell isn't that his name? I don't know nothing about this show. I just know one of those guys was, him and Envy were really flirting with each other in Vegas.

They got the brother! You remember when Envy was flirting with one of them in Vegas, she? Oh, he was so excited. Oh, my God. That was disgusting. And then you got his number. I was like, Envy, you are wilding right now. I'm like, your man, bro, your wife is right there.

Stop it, because people won't believe you. That's not how it happened. That's what I saw. We seen the brother there, one of the contestants. He said, what up, MVS? What's his name? Mike. Mike. That's his name, right? You should know. I don't remember his name. Don't act like you don't remember his name. Don't act like you don't remember his name.

His name is Mike. Alright, but I said, what's up? He said, what's up? I said, I listen to the show. He said, I listen to your show. He said, yo, I want to get on the show. Take my number. That's what it was for, business. It wasn't a, I'm not explaining nothing to y'all. Why did I even go into this? I don't know.

I don't know. Why are you doing so much explaining? Like, why did I fall into this? Go ahead, continue. But yeah, no, we had a conversation about it, and he was like, he's cute. I did not say that. I do remember something like that.

Oh, Matt James, right? It's Matt James, yes. Yeah, that's it. You better stop slandering my name, please. I didn't say he was cute. What's wrong with that? He's cute. I'll say it with you.

You want me to say it with you? Why are you so embarrassed? I want to know why you're so embarrassed. I don't get it. Why are you so mad about this? Why are you pushing back so hard? We were all there. We saw it with our eyes.

It's not a big deal. Say it with me. It's cool. Say Matt James is cute. He's a cool dude. I did not say Matt James is cute. All the girls were going crazy over him. He's cool.

I thought his name was Mike, though. But it's cool. No, it's Matt. It's Matt. Okay. Matt's cool. He's not my type. What's your type?

Kamala Harris at the border. Not really, but. Kind of. We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. A lot to get to. So, NBA playoffs. Philadelphia 76ers beat the Hawks 118-102. The Jazz beat the Clippers last night 112-109. Now, tonight, the Nuggets take on the Phoenix Suns. Now, what else we got, Yeezy? Well, let's talk about Kamala Harris.

Now, you know, she was in Guatemala, and she had told people not to come to the border. She just said, don't come. A lot of people had issues with that because, of course, you are able to seek asylum in the United States. There is nothing illegal about that. But the number of U.S.-Mexico border detentions have soared as of late. And so she was answering some questions. She was talking to Lester Holt, NBC News anchor Lester Holt, about actually not visiting the U.S.-Mexico border, even though she was in Guatemala.

And there's a lot of issues at the border. Here's what happened. There's not going to be a quick fix. We've seen progress, but the real work is going to take time to manifest itself. Will it be worth it? Yes. Do you have any plans to visit the border? At some point, you know, we are going to the border. We've been to the border. This whole thing about the border, we've been to the border.

We've been to the border. You haven't been to the border. And I haven't been to Europe. And I don't understand the point that you're making. I'm not discounting the importance of the border. Why do they keep sending Vice President Harris on these dummy missions? Like, why? Like, why is it so hard to just, like, tell the truth?

She hasn't visited the border since she's been VP and overseeing the situation at the border. She's been to the border before, but just not since she's been VP and since she's been, you know, overseeing the situation at the border. Yeah. overseeing the situation at the border. Yeah, and you know, her reason, though, is that she definitely needs to go to the border because you need to see firsthand what's happening there, right? Just like she went to Guatemala, and what they're trying to say, the administration and what Kamala Harris is trying to say, is that if you want to fix a problem, you have to go to where the problem exists. If you want to address the needs of people, you need to meet those people.

You must spend time with those people. That's why she said they're trying to work with the government there to make sure that they can figure out what's going there that are making people have to seek asylum in the United States and fix the root cause of the problem. But you also simultaneously need to be at the border to figure out how to fix the conditions there. Yeah, that's why I always say, you know, some conservatives are more sincere about their lives than Democrats are about their truth, because when you hear a conservative talk they're very clear

on why they're here whether you agree with them or not you know Democrats are not and that's why they always come off like they're soft because they can't even answer simple questions without sounding like they're lying definitely it's wild man yeah just say no I have not been there but

we're setting a date which will as soon as we have that date, I'll let you guys know, instead of trying to get defensive. But she has been to the border, just not since she's been vice president, overseeing the situation at the border. She could have said anything. Yeah, I haven't been there since, but due to the pandemic and COVID, there's other things that we've been doing.

I'm going to get there. We set a date. That's it. I mean, it's other things that we've been doing. I'm going to get there. We set a date. That's it. I mean, it is a crisis that needs to be handled, and she needs to attack it from all angles, not just going to those countries, not just going there to fix it from the root cause, but you also need to figure out how to make the situation at the border better. I do want to know, though, because I'm not smart, so I just want to know, like, if, you know, Trump said don't come, Joe Biden said don't come, Kamala said don't come. Like, what's the difference?

I mean, I think that part of the difference is that Donald Trump's stance on immigration. A lot of people had issues with how he treated people and how he made it seem like people from certain countries were. You remember how he referred to Mexicans as, you know, criminals. But a lot of people are saying the conditions at the border are the same now. I thought you were saying as far as the don't come part. Yeah, the conditions are not good at the border.

Yeah, so the conditions are the same. Trump said don't come. Biden said don't come. Kamala said don't come. I'm just asking what the difference is. Nearly 900,000 migrants

stopped there from October 1st to May 31st according to data. And it's a broken system that has to get fixed, but it's not an overnight fix. It's something that has to be worked on.

It's not going to happen immediately. I would love to hear from somebody objective on. It's not going to happen immediately. I would love to hear from somebody objective on this situation. Not somebody who's a Democrat or a Republican. I just want to know what's the difference from an objective opinion. Yeah, my thing is that these are human beings. And so we can't look at them in a certain way and act like we don't want them to come here. There's a lot of people that have issues and reasons why they want to come to the United States.

And so it's not that people are just trying to come here. And I think Donald Trump tried to present it like people were trying to come here to commit crimes and these were criminals. Right. No, a lot of people are, you know, great citizens and should be able to be here and live a nice, fruitful life. But it's just a process. And I think the process needs to be fixed.

But that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, we have an artist from Detroit. The 313. He's been making noise in Detroit for a long time. Iceware Vezo. He was, I think, the first hip-hop artist from Detroit signed to Motown, too, at one point.

That's right. So we're going to talk to him when we come back. He has a story. Detroit, stand up. What up, dough? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

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.

I mean, like, you know, they got a good team over there in Ethiopia. Like, I got real love for E. You know what I'm saying? It's just, I feel like they ain't understand my wave. They ain't understand that sound. You know what I mean? Like, I know they didn't because there's certain music that I'm dropping that was turning up, like, getting millions of views.

And then, like, the music that they wanted to push, it wasn it you know what i mean i was telling them so like it was just creative differences and you know he's so gangster i just asked to get out the contract and she made it happen in like two weeks that's dope yeah i remember when you first signed it was big for the city yeah it was super huge and then it was just like you know everybody like man what you doing bro like you know not dropping no music none of that. Like, it just wasn't the right vibe for me. You know what I'm saying? Like, the moment was good. I did it for, you know, I think I signed a record deal for all the wrong reasons.

You know, for us, like, growing up in the streets, that's like going to the league. You know what I'm saying? And I was fresh out the feds, so I signed my deal while I was in the halfway house. That's all I'm thinking. Like, man, I'm going to take care of my family. Like, you know, I ain't understand how that part works. I always knew how the business worked, but not like being with no major. You know what I mean?

I thought it was like you sign a major deal and you're gone. You're out of there. You're about to hit the charts. You're just going to be a big artist, you know, if your music good enough. But it ain't work like that. You know what I'm saying? Was the bag worth it? No, it wasn't worth it.

I already had the money that they gave me. I already had that. Yeah. I tripled that already. You know what I mean? Because I don't do nothing for the money that they gave me I already had that tripled that already you know what I mean cause I don't do nothing for the money though everything

every decision I make be about you know what I mean the outcome if you make a decision for money then you ain't gonna never have the right outcome

your heart you know your heart like that ain't gonna work like that nothing I ever do is for no money the money always come for real

I said Ice Web Vessel you got a real rich name that's a i was broke when i made a name though i have a dollar in my pocket i ain't had no jury but you manifested it though i manifest i believe in manifestation that's big everything i got i you know i've spoken in existence i just bought a wraith you know what i mean and like i said that a year ago wow Wow. I said, before the summer end, I'm going to come Rafe. And I really got that. Now is your time. Like, you've been a Detroit legend for a long time.

And now I see it starting to circulate and start to come back around. So how is that feeling? Man, it's such a blessing, big bro. I ain't going to lie. Like, it's been a long grind, especially, like, with me. You know what I mean? Like, I don't watch other artists in my city, city like come out and make one song and just take off i'm doing i'm really been grinding i'm doing shows in every city and state in the midwest and

you know like louisville and all that and it's just like man i got all these folks listening to my music i done headlined our summer jams before they rapping this stuff word for word it's just like i didn't i didn't understand why i wasn't happening for me but you know one thing i learned in prison like everything literally about timing when those stars align ain't none gonna be able to stop No, you got going on so I appreciate you know that process and and I feel like I feel like The fact that it took me so long. I'm gonna have it longer You know well you just released a project, but I heard the music that you had that's about to come out Yeah, it's insane joints with future little baby You just released a project, but I heard the music that you had that's about to come out is insane.

We got a gang or something. And Dirk is on this project. No, Dirk on the, me and Dirk got a song called Up the Skull right now.

It's going crazy. I ain't never got booked so much like back to back to back you know and i'm naming my price and folks paying it you know what i'm saying like yeah it's definitely it definitely been a long grind it's paying off and i just appreciate it you know i thank god everything for everything no matter if i don't go no farther than what i am you know i can say i did what i wanted to do and i had fun i made some money you think you think um motown didn't know what to do with you because like feels like this wave of Detroit artists that's popping out is really street dudes. You know what I mean?

Prior to that, Detroit was just kind of rap. You know what I mean? Like dope rappers. But now it's like the street wave of Detroit. You think that's what it was? It was so crazy. The world never really understood Detroit street rap. It always been turned up, especially in the Midwest and in Detroit like you come to Detroit you're not gonna hear like mainstream artists that was

from Detroit getting played when you riding in the streets like you just outside you're gonna hear all local music you know what I'm saying and like that's that's exactly what it was they didn't know what to do with me I feel like you know me being a street artist and I'm rapping on these basement sounding type beats and I ain't making no hooks I'm freestyling my songs one minute you know I felt like they thought it was just all over the place they didn't understand it now you're not just an artist you're also an entrepreneur and I think that's important to discuss also that's extremely important I bought a restaurant when I was 24 years old a restaurant a car wash and a dispensary wow that was all mine I bought that when I was 24 I love to hear that you still got No, I got rid of them before I went to the joint.

The dispensary, that fell apart while I was in the joint. And the car wash and the restaurant, I got rid of them before I went in because they kept getting raided, like, every day. I heard the dispensary being a black owner. I heard the state really comes down on everybody hard being a black owner. It was bad for me. Like, they was raiding this joint. Like, they raided my car wash, my dispensary,

and the restaurant, like, literally, like, once a week for no reason. You know what I'm saying? It got to the point where they was pulling people over, leaving the restaurant, checking their food. I don't know what they thought I was. Nah, real talk, bro. Damn.

I don't know what them folks thought I was at the time. You know what I'm saying? But I can honestly say a lot of that shit. Like, I brought that shit on myself. Just moving silly. Just moving goofy. You know, I was one of them dudes that went in jail. Like, damn, I ain't do shit.

And then when I'm sitting there, like, I was goofy. Like, dumb as hell. Just moving wild. You know, you got to watch how you move. It ain't about what you say all the time. It's about your movement and your energy. And I was just giving off all the wrong shit. You know, I was one of them young niggas

that was rapping about the police and shit you don't do that you can't do that not when you not when you moving like you can't do that you know what I mean

like you know whoever you got around you like his problems become my problems that's right you know what I'm saying and I can accept that I'm cool with it

I'm cool with accepting that you know it only take two or more people to say the same shit about you and they got a conspiracy that's right. And if you ain't gonna tell, you gotta do that time. I hate conspiracy. That s***, the conspiracy don't make no sense

to me, though. How can somebody just say it? It's bogus, man. Yeah, man. It's bogus, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, s*** gotta be smooth out here, man. Detroit has such a specific sound, too, I feel like. Do you think that other people outside of Detroit are now trying to, like, emulate that? Absolutely. Absolutely. It's a lot of rappers, likeulating that sound like and even like you know major

artists that I do music with they be like we want to rap on that but I don't look at it like you know a lot of look at that like you know copying a wave or all that it ain't it ain't that I appreciate that because they ain't gotta like that you know what I'm saying they ain't gotta with it at all but it matter when you get like a bigger artist like Pluto or somebody like that shit, you know what I'm saying? They ain't gotta fuck with it at all, but it matter when you get, like, a bigger artist like Pluto or somebody like that rapping on that kind of beat, or, you know, even like Moneybagg, yo, he got a few songs. Him and Big 30 got a song called Go. That's a Detroit song. That's a Detroit

song. It's hard, but he got relationships with niggas in the city. I got songs with him. Faze got a song with him, so, you know, it just hit different, but Lil Yachty, the most solid, like, he really helped us, like, put that sound on the forefront. Like, you know what I mean?

Like, as far as an artist that's not from Detroit, he f***ed with the sound. He pushed that s***. He caught s*** and tapped in with that music, for sure. All right, we got more with Ice with Vezzo when we come back. He's a Detroit artist who's making a lot of noise for years. We're going to talk to him some more. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Iceware Vezzo. Charlamagne? I saw that you founded Iced Up Film and Iced Up Realty, and y'all offer affordable housing to people in your hometown? Yeah.

I own a lot of houses in my neighborhood. What gave you that idea? I just wanted to do it. You know what I mean? With me, I ain't want to go back and dealing with, like, no restaurants and shit with no brick and mortars because I don't believe in being at one location a lot. You know, everybody know your

spot. So it's like, how can I help without helping too much, you know what I mean, without taking no loss? And it's just like, we got so many cribs in our neighborhood that ain't occupied know that ain't occupied that was on the market i just started buying them up and renovating them and you know put putting people in there for like a real low cost affordable enough for me to where i'm not gonna take a loss and it ain't gonna be a burden and i can still be able to help you know what i

mean i got a film company called ice the films i wrote i did my first movie it dropped last year price of love yeah price of love amazon yeah it's just turned up too see to me that's king you of films. I did my first movie. It dropped last year. Price of Love. Yeah, Price of Love. It's on Amazon. It's turnt up too. See, to me, that's king ****. I don't even want to hear somebody say, this is my hood if you don't own no property in it. You're a fool if you say that. You're a fool. Well, if you can afford to do it too.

If you can afford to. Most rappers that lost the money, it's my hood, but what do you own in it? I think we need to do it the other way around. I think we need to rap about our life, rap about what we do own, what we are a part of, like our family, you know what I mean? Our homies, whatever it is, and then buy the house and then

rap about how much you own that motherf***er. If you getting some money and you really from the streets and you can go back in your hood, you gotta buy that s*** up. Buy it up. It don't make no sense. We look fools. Our race is so behind overall. You know what I mean? It's just sad.

You know what I mean? My f**kers ain't got life insurance, health insurance, dental insurance. I watched so many homies pass away, and then they found me left to pick up the bill. Like, that s**t is heartbreaking. You know what I'm saying? I done paid for real funerals, whole funerals. You know what I'm saying? I done paid for real funerals, whole funerals. You know what I mean? And I wouldn't even say no names, but I have done that because, you know, dudes was left with their family scrambling.

You know what I mean? These guys, they got a lot of shit on them, hell of jewelry, cars, all that. And they don't be about, like, faking and don't got the money. They just don't know where to put the money and what to do with that money. And that's really important. You still got guys that think it don't make sense to get a bank account. Where'd you learn from? Who instilled that in you?

I learned from everybody. I learned from kids, grown-ups, teenagers. I learned from absolutely everybody. You think you came out of prison better? I absolutely did. I know for a fact that was the best thing that ever happened to me. I don't know where I'd be without prison. I appreciate going to prison.

I thank God for going there. I needed that. I'm glad I got that's the best thing that ever happened to me. I don't know where I'd be without prison. I appreciate going to prison. I thank God for going there. I needed that. I'm glad I got that. Why? Why exactly? Because I was moving too fast. Anything could have happened if you didn't go. God put you down.

You should be still for a second. God sent me down. I was lost. I ain't had no understanding on what I should be and how I should move. It got to a point where I was doing shit for the wrong reason. I was doing shit because I rap. You get what I'm saying? It's like we get money, we get out the hood, then we go back because we're rapping now. We got to look point where i was doing for the wrong reason i was doing because i rap you get what i'm saying it's like we get money we get out the hood then we go back because we're rapping now we got to look like we in the hood you know just doing foolish bro like i asked i absolutely needed

that i was still hard-headed wow everything you know i went in there and got my mind right my body right everything i learned about love i learned that i ain't love my kids when i was in prison because love is an action and the way i was moving i ain't love my kids when I was in prison because love is an action. And the way I was moving, I didn't love my kids because I wouldn't have been in jail if I loved them. I didn't love my wife. I didn't love my mama. I didn't love myself.

And I didn't know that it took me to go to prison to understand that. So now I speak with my actions, and I don't really say too much. That's real. Was it like a book or like somebody you met in there that gave you a spiritual awakening? It was God. Word. I talk to God more than I talk to anybody. God's the only

person that can get through to me the fastest. Of course, I read a lot of books. You know what I mean? So like, yeah. Didn't you also write Price of Love, too? I wrote that when I was in the hole. They threw my rap book away when I got, I went to the hole twice. The first time I went, you know, just write music and I, that's when my bunkie at the time was like, bro, read a book.

I'm like, you read. What the fuck are you talking about? You read. He's like, man, no, I'm not saying it like that. We in here with no teeth. Just read. Every word you read, you literally going to vision that shit. I'm like, bro, you tweaking.

You been in this bitch too long. Man, listen, I had started reading a book from Daniel Silva. That's one of my a book from Daniel Silver. He got like a, that's one of my favorite artists, Daniel Silver. It's all like, you know, fake ****,

but, you know, it's just where my imagination go. Like I said, I learn from situations and make something out of it. You know,

and as I'm reading, I really sink that ****. So I'm like, you know what, let me read something that count. And that's when I read Malcolm X's book.

Then I read The Message to the Black Man by Elijah Malone. That's the first two books my daddy ever gave me. I read that book three times. I read Malcolm X's book. Then I read The Message to the Black Man by Elijah Muhammad. That's the first two books my daddy ever gave me. I read that book three times. I read that book three times. And both of those books show you how growth is possible. Like life is about evolution.

That's it. Exactly. And it shows you how to become a self. You know, as a man, you learn how to deal with your pride. You know what I mean? That's another thing. I learned how to deal with your pride you know i mean that's another thing i learned how to deal my pride in there pride coming for the fall that's the worst thing i ever had you know learn how to be so comfortable with myself it ain't nothing nobody else can say to me to throw me off so with everything that's going on now would you would you think about

re-signing because it's looking at everything that's going on it's this is the time it's your last deal ain't gonna to be this deal. Would you think about re-signing and doing it over and being more independent with the label's help? For sure, you need them labels. Ain't no way around it. I'm not going to sit in y'all face and be like, nah, I'm a boss.

I've been doing this. You need some help. You don't have to have that machine. But this time, I'm going to go in with an understanding. There's a lot of labels trying to sign me. I don't want to sign. As an artist, I just going to go in with an understanding. There's a lot of labels trying to sign me. I don't want to sign as an artist. I just want to do distribution and maybe be able to get that extra push and partnership the way I can put up my money and have some type of say-so.

You can't tell a motherfucker how to spend their money. I just wonder if labels can do what y'all already doing. I know they can give y'all money to help y'all magnify what it is that y'all doing, but do they know the streets like y'all do? Do they know social media like y'all do? help y'all magnify what it is that y'all doing, but do they know the streets like y'all do? Do they know social media like y'all do? That's the only part I'd be wondering about. I think we're going to have to give the artists the money and say, this is where I need to go.

Yeah. It can't be the old way of doing it anymore. Facts. Nowadays, artists really like the—we the marketing directors and the rappers now. We literally know what to do with this shit. It was like when I was with Motown, it was a situation where me and Big Sean had a song. And that song wasn't really me. Like, you know, I did the song, but it was just like,

I didn't feel comfortable. And I had voice debt. Like Motown seemed the artist name. Big Sean, Detroit. So you know what I said? You know, and I got the verse for free. And so I'm like, we ain't got to use the song to bitch for free. You know what I mean?

So I'm like, you know what? know what we gonna bring shine to the hood we're gonna bring them on the six that don't look good homes ain't really been in the hood like that like not my hood on the east side not where i'm from like we end up spending a bankroll like over a hundred thousand on a video at the uh at a art museum just all type of shit. I'm like, man, that's shit. So you know what I did? I did another song. Me and my little brother, Babyface Ray, we did a song at a gas station. I paid a videographer $200.

Bought me some white Air Force Ones and threw in a jersey I already had. That bitch did like 2 million views in a month. Me and Big Sean video still ain't at a million views. Damn. I can't believe a videographer on the church $200. I dropped this song the same week. I mean, the same month as me and Big Sean and it's just like when you are who you are that's what they want to

see you get what I'm saying like if that's you then that's what's gonna count for you and it's good to try new things but I mean people will sniff it out when it's not authentic it wasn't authentic at all. Future one of the ones that mastered that transition though from like the street mixtape rap to even with the songs he was putting out like Molly Perkins that was the number one song in the country That's cause bro still tuned in you know he still tapped in like he ain't his mind ain't left you know I mean around go through you know you still around people you looking out and helping motherfuckers that are really going

through everyday problems. So sometimes that energy might kind of rub off on you. Even being in prison, it was time I was running with niggas that was just complaining a lot. I just got tired.

I can't stand that. Listen, I was in a TV room one day, like, I called my wife like, baby, I'm about to go back to the hole.

These niggas. I'd rather be by myself. Niggas gonna rap to you all that s*** and stress and like I just told them one day bro shut the f*** up bro.

Nah true story he know who he is I said that like bro he out too. That's the same thing in life now though like you really gotta just keep your circle pure man

keep all negative energy out of your space man. You gotta keep people around you who willing to hold you accountable too cause you gotta be able to hold them accountable. Is it got to be able to hold them accountable Is it possible to make the transition from rap to the streets without bringing the baggage from the streets?

Would you make the transition from right from from me from from the streets the rap without bringing the baggage? Absolutely, you gotta learn how to say no. Mm-hmm make it all the way that far just to go please some other Stuff you doing the streets, it's like once you get in the rap game, you just can't say, I'm done with that. You have too much to lose. But that's why it's called a transition. You know, that's the real definition of transitioning. You know, it's a process.

Transition is a process. So it's about how you go about that process. Alright, we got more with Ice with Vezo Detroit's own. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're still kicking it with Iceware Vezo. Yee. One thing about you, Vezo, when you first popped off in Detroit, you were really promoting heavy in the strip clubs. It is a different time right now. So how do you promote your music now? Really, Instagram's the same way everybody do. I keep a good relationship with all the DJs. So it's really still a strip club, honestly. time right now so how do you promote your music now really instagram saying what everybody do i

keep a good relationship with all the djs so it's really still a strip club honestly you know i feel like that's the best way to catch a vibe catch your catch your buzz you just gotta go in that spend some money i ain't afraid to pay the djs too like these niggas not mv not mv Not Envy. Not Envy. He's do that. He met on the club. He met club DJs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, and I ain't even talking about like pay the DJ to play my music. Just period. Just like I support what DJs got going on. Without the DJ and the producer,

they're the main two people that need to be taken care of, you know, and then the manager. Without that, like, I really won't have shit. I'll be around niggas and niggas that have 12 chains on. Yeah, this my producer. He look like a little 20 from yeah you know what i'm saying i don't make sense bro i mean that's that's one thing i like about but i mean i'm glad you said that but most artists don't think like that and that's why i think even with 50 and why he's so successful in whatever he does is he always takes care of the djs and not financially but like if our dj is doing something

he supports the point goes to he pops up and that financially, but if a DJ is doing something, he supports it. He goes to. He pops up. And that's what people don't get. Yeah, that go a long way. You know, money ain't everything. People think money fix shit. You know, sometimes motherfuckers

just might want your presence. You know what I mean? Motherfucker might want your advice, want your, you know, everything but the money. But you look at it, he ain't got much here to go be happy. It ain't about that. My grandma grandma always said manners will take you where money

won't man say it again manners will take you where money won't man that's serious i wanted to ask you about who influenced you as just a rapper growing up in detroit because you know when i got the eminems and the you know the big shahs they don't seem like they had much influence on on this generation i'm not gonna be fake about it like they had much influence on this generation. I'm not going to be fake about it. They ain't had no influence on me. I'm not going to lie. Me or none of my homies or nobody I know at all, they ain't have no influence musically.

But as far as opportunity, it's like, damn, it can happen. Dudes that really, really influenced me is like the Cheddar Boys, Street Lords, Big Hurt, Blade, Icewood, Rest in Peace, Wipeout. really really influenced me is like the cheddar boys street lords you know big hurt blade ice wood you know rest in peace wipe out dudes like that like they really influenced me along with like juvenile you know i'm saying master p like we used to listen to them type of it just feel like all those guys were ahead of their time that's what it feel like i mean because because when you look at what's happening in detroit now i feel like the tricks and the cheddar boys and all them was just ahead of their time because Trix was doing songs with them,

and it probably felt like you doing songs with Sean. Like, it just didn't seem right. Yeah, exactly. You know what I mean? But, like, we really, like, was going off the Lodge Boys wave as well. And Mae West, like, Helluva, he produced, but a lot of people don't know Helluva was a rapper. And he was one of the biggest rappers in our city at one point.

But, yeah, like, you know, I just appreciate that the world really understand what Detroit is now. Like, at first, for a long time, they thought, like, the Wayne thing, all of us would get mad. Like, you from Detroit? Yeah. Man, what's up? You be on 8 Mile? Like, 8 Mile.

8 Mile. I'm from the 6th. Like, it was just so much. That's what they see, though. That's all I saw. That's all we saw, yeah. It was so much of a misconception of what we was. And, you know, at the end of the day, we just been struggling.

How do you, my last question, I guess, is how do you show people like that, that street side of Detroit without glorifying the criminal stuff? You glorify what came from doing the criminal stuff. Not glorify you, not glorify. You rap about the outcome from glorifying the criminal stuff. Not glorify you, not glorify. You rap about the outcome from glorifying the criminal. The real consequences. Yeah. You speak on them consequences.

I could be like, yeah, Lil' Cuz caught a body, but he got 40 years. That's right. So I done rapped about this body. I let you know what's going on like that. We got the youngest, we got the shorties moving like that. But this what happened though. This what happened.

That's one thing about the, that's one thing about the feds they be they know they be knowing they be knowing cap you hear right by the million bodies ain't never caught a case you ain't on nothing you ain't on nothing you know nine days it's like the rap get they rap money and get this get this and then want to be street we trying to we we want that. We want what they got. I'm not trying, I'm trying to, you heard? I ain't on that like shit. I'm trying, like I said, I'm in it for the money. I'm going to get the money. I'm going to stop wearing jerks.

I'm never flashing no guns. None of that shit. I'm not about to walk backwards. You know, it's just, clout just f***ed up thing. You know, we just, man, just so sad that how behind our race is. And, you know, the artists is. Like, we just, we, just so sad that how behind our race is and, you know, the artists is. Like, we just, we brainwashed, literally. Like, we just got the wrong motives.

F***, get interviews and won't speak on that. I tell n****s all the time, I'm a studio gangster. I ain't know, I'm chilling, n****s. Nah, I ain't pulling up, blowing a n**** head off. I ain't doing that right now. I'm focused. I got children. You know, we ain't never ducking no wreck, though.

That's the thing. You know, you just got to be prepared for a n***a come at you. Ain't nobody coming at you. We ain't got to go looking for that s***. You know, one thing I think that's good about you is that you have a lot of influence by women. Like, your manager's a woman. Your wife is influential. You were on Cash Dolls super early.

You have Jerezio on the project. You know, and I think that always kind of gives guys a different type of sensitivity too sometimes. No doubt. One thing about it just being raised by my mother, a woman intuition is the best asset that God ever gave to

a human being. A woman intuition, a woman gut, a woman mentality just overall like y'all just so advanced and just so swift and clutch with this shit. You know what I mean? Like, that's why I got all women around me. Even my assistant, she a woman. My managers that manage my other artists, they women.

I really appreciate a woman mind state. You know, so I feel like as long as you don't tamper with a woman emotions, you're going to get the best out of her. And I don't tamper with a woman emotions you're gonna get the best out of it and i don't tamper with my wife emotions i don't car a bitch we used to do that when we was kids like we it was regular that's like i don't want to normalize that in my household so when you when you when you stop wearing jewelry are you gonna change your name from i'm trying to come to that one type of bag with Mr. Smith bag. You heard when I walk in the bank. Yeah, what's up, Mr. Smith? That bag.

I ain't gonna lie. I'm not gonna change who I am at heart, but it's all right to change your surroundings. Absolutely. It's go to any nigga, bro. If you hit that goal, if your goal was, if you hit that goal,

change up, switch it up. Ain't nothing wrong with that shit. You got to. Open evolution is all it's about. That's all it's about. Change that shit up. Switch it up ain't nothing wrong with that you got to open evolution is all it's about that's all it's about change that up switch it up i say little about like gz and songs and i got a song i said i never let a young jeez me but you know that's music and i meant that but in reality like he one of the only like first rappers that i seen that come like that's still snowman and

really from the streets he really making that initiative to to be different like he normalizing that like with the way dressed the way think Oh, even a route that he took at the Gucci man battle you know he went a different route and He came from it from a whole nother angle and as many means and he never spoke about it Like well, I did it cuz of it and man play on he never spoke about it like well I did it because of it that man just on a whole another level with it that's right he really switched and he didn't have to and you know I feel like he that comfortable with himself and he get it he's somebody that really get it and I see that with his actions because I don't know him personally

you know I feel like he get it in he do well let's get into it that's a beautiful man that's a play up the scope featuring a little girl. Growth and evolution, y'all. That's what you learned from this interview today with my guy. Make sure you go grab Autobiography of Malcolm X and Message to the Black Man. Those books will change your life.

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.

The rumor report. The gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report.

The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, during yesterday's episode on ESPN, Jay Williams said that Kevin Durant is taking this matchup against Giannis Antetokounmpo personally. And he said that Kevin Durant actually confronted him about comparisons to the Greek freak. Here's what he said happened. A couple years ago, we had a holiday party for KD's business, okay? We're all there, everybody's hanging out,

and I went on TV on Get Up that day and said, Giannis was destroying people in the league. And I said, you know what? When I think about Giannis, it's like AD and Kevin Durant had a baby to a degree, size, length. I'm not saying skill set. I'm just saying the way he played, right? Kevin Durant comes up to me at the club and says,

yo, don't you ever compare me to Giannis again. All right. Well, according to Kevin Durant, it is a lie. He said, this is an effing lie. Jay Williams can never speak for me ever. Mans will do anything to advance their careers in this media-ish, wanting to be accepted by an industry that will dispose of you

whenever they please. Keep me out all that corny-ass talk about who's better in Legacy and all that dumbass-ish. I don't even talk like that. I'm not mad at Kevin Durant if he really said that, though.

Like, don't compare me to nobody. I'm Kevin Durant. Don't compare me to nobody. Oh, that's what Jay-Z said a long time ago. I agree with him. But I mean, you know,

people compare you to people just because, like, they're trying to describe what you are. It's not an insult. No, it's not an insult. You know what I mean? But people feel that way. And Kevin Durant gets busy.

The Greek freak gets busy. He said he didn't say it, though. Don't go. That's the whole issue. It wasn't saying that don't. He just said he never said that. I don't know who to believe in that situation.

Yeah, I don't know who to believe. I do know that that's why when people say certain things to me, I'll be repeating them. Because nobody will believe. I say that all the time. There's certain things that know who to believe. I do know that that's why when people say certain things to me, I'll be repeating them. Because nobody will believe. I say that all the time. There's certain things that I hear or people say,

and I'm like, nobody will believe me anyway if I repeat this. And sometimes people tell you things and they don't want you to say it. And guys, it was a holiday party. Could have been some drinking going. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, it was a holiday party. I don't know what those, I was about to say maybe the conversation could have been misconstrued, but I don't even know if the conversation happened. Or maybe he was joking. Maybe he was joking. I don't know. Who knows? Who knows? I don't think what those I was about to say maybe the conversation could have been misconstrued but I don't even know if the conversation happened or maybe he was joking

maybe he was joking I don't know who knows I don't think it's that serious sometimes we up here Charlamagne forget what he said 20 minutes ago all the time

yeah so maybe it happened maybe it didn't but you know Kevin Durant saying he did it so alright now Saweetie had to go on Twitter

to shut down the rumors that she was faking her Tesla giveaway she had announced this earlier in the year and I remember I spoke to her about it too. I thought it was really dope. They were kind of the best friend giveaway with the Tesla. And somebody had said that basically, you know, it was never done. The person still hasn't gotten their car. Here's what she had said originally. Hey, what's up y'all? It your girl, Saweetie. I am doing a huge giveaway.

I am not only giving away one, but two brand new Teslas. All right, a Twitter user had said that they were a fan until they realized that she's fake. And so Saweetie responded and said, the fake news concerns me these days. Update, the first winner was underage and the replacement is unresponsive, so we have to go through the process again.

A true supporter knows my character and knows I don't play about my business. You were never a fan, baby girl. Let's talk about that. Yeah, and let me say that. A lot of artists are giving away a lot of things, and let me tell you guys how it usually works. Usually a company says, hey, I would love to give this car away to one of your fans or this PlayStation away for one of your fans.

An artist says, okay, yeah, that's cool. I would love to give it away. They give it away fans or this PlayStation away for one of your fans. And artists say, okay, that's cool. I would love to give it away. They give it away and usually it goes through the process of getting done. There's legal things that have to be done. So it's not necessarily on the artist and the artist believes that those things are going to be given away. So it's not on the artist most of the time. Well, she explained exactly what happened. So they got to get it to the right person.

Imagine you won and you were unresponsive. Anyway, that's crazy because if I won a Tesla, I'm calling you right back. You and me both. And you know, people are noticing that Offset also liked

a tweet that suggested Saweetie is dating James Harden. Just a FYI. Somebody posted, now why the F are people saying Saweetie and James Harden

F with each other and he liked it. Maybe he did it by accident. Sometimes you do that. I'm not mad at Quavo if he liked it. You got to keep up. That's all. What you mean?

I got to know who not to dap. You know what I'm saying? See, James Harden out, I keep it moving. You know what I mean? I'm not dapping you up. All right. And Drake and Live Nation are launching a new venue in Toronto. And it's called History.

It's a new live entertainment venue. It's set to open later on this year 2,500 person capacity it's described as versatile and intimate with plans to host 200 concerts and events annually that's dope that's money right there all right and Pooh Shiesty was arrested for shooting a king of diamonds now he has been accused of shooting a security guard uh there We don't know what happened, but they said a crowd jumped in trying to grab some loose cash because somebody knocked

money out of his back pocket, and that's when, reportedly, they are saying that he brandished a gun as he was being escorted out by the security guard. Allegedly, they're saying he fired a single shot, hitting the guard in the ankle, and a witness told police he saw Poo Shiesty pass a gun to an unknown man

and that man fled the scene. You know, I hope that's not true. Well, there was no gun or shell casings found at the scene. So there's no shell casings, right? Yeah, I just hope that's not true. Because Pooh Shiesty is a very talented artist. And I don't want to see these younger guys making a lot of the mistakes that the older artists that

came before them made. You know what I mean? Guys, there was... What? This video. This video out there online. Oh, there's a video? Yes. I don't know, Mr. Snitch.

Tell us more. Tell us more, Mr. Informant. Well, a video shows him at the venue, and you see the crowd scattering after shots were reportedly fired, but I didn't see him shoot anybody. I didn't even see no video. I didn't see a video either. You just said it! You're the one brought it up! You called me a snitch, so I didn't see him shoot anybody. I didn't even see no video. I didn't see a video either. You just said it. You're the one bought it up.

okay we all know what nuns are, but do we know what they do? What do they stand for? I'm going to be honest. I don't know. But that's why there is Google. And when I do my Googles and type in what do nuns do, it says nuns historically take solemn vows and live a life of prayer and contemplation in a monastery or convent, while sisters take simple vows and live in active vocation of prayer and charitable works in areas such as education and health care.

Now, when I Googled what do nuns do, what also came up is what is the role of a nun. And Google says some nuns devote themselves to prayer and contemplating God, while others help the poor teach children our care for the sick. One thing all nuns have in common is that they're acting in ways that they believe serve God, not themselves. I want you all to remember that line. One thing all nuns have in common is that they're acting in ways that they believe serve God, not themselves. Okay. Well, I didn't know what nuns did exactly, but I thought it was something like

Google said. I mean, when we think nuns, we think holy, right? We think righteous. Okay. We think about God and serving others, not themselves. Well, Sister Mary Margaret must be a rebel because she said, ah, they don't know who I be. Let's go to KCAL CBS 9 for the report, please. A retired nun tonight is now facing fraud and money laundering charges in connection with an embezzlement scheme. 79-year-old Mary Kruper was the principal of St. James Catholic School in Torrance for almost three decades. Prosecutors say she stole more than $835,000 in school funds, including tuition and charitable donations. Kruper is accused of using that money to pay credit card bills and lavish gambling trips to Las Vegas. She has agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud and money laundering charges.

She now faces up to 40 years in federal prison. Man, when you're praying for a plug, Sister Mary Margaret might be the first person in the history of life to break God's Ten Commandments and Biggie's Ten Crack Commandments. Okay, Ten Commandments she broke, thou shalt shall not steal, and thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods. Okay, Biggie's 10 crack commandments she broke, keep your family and business completely separated. Hard to do when you are actually stealing from families at your business.

Now, she did uphold rule number one of Biggie's 10 crack commandments because she definitely never let anyone know how much dough she was holding. In fact, prosecutors noted that she took a vow of poverty. Damn, Sister Mary Margaret, you a liar, too? I could have sworn in Proverbs 25. One, it says the Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. Hell. And I said hell, because based on the rulesary margaret yeah that's where you might be going okay one of the ten commandments is thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor and that is one of the reasons lying is considered a sin in christianity not lucky for you

sister mary margaret gambling is not considered a sin but religious folks do say gambling pushes people far from love and respect and gambling propagates greed for money and selfishness. OK, this is why we all should just be who we are, because God knows us anyway. We out here performing, wearing these masks as if God in the universe don't see the real us. You will never win if you're not right within. Word to Lauren Hill. Now, I'm not judging this none because i am absolutely in no moral position to do that but the hypocrisy of this situation is visible to the naked eye and can and should be discussed she's 79 people all right this isn't new behavior she was you know

been doing this for a long time if she if she was the bible at 79 she would be the old testament okay you don't just pick up these kinds of habits. She's been finessing before Christ. Now, the church says they don't want to press charges. Understandable. But always remember, church forgives. The feds don't. All right? The feds are investigating because, as the NY Daily News said,

theft is not only a crime against God, but a crime against man. And she pled guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering. It's going to be hard to explain this one to Jesus. Okay. I already have an explanation. You do? Mm-hmm. You got to tell me because if sins was a spade game,

she got three definites and at least two possibles. Tell me, what is it? Well, did she win or lose when she was gambling? She lost. I think she lost a lot. Okay, vow of poverty. And give up your personal possessions right that's what nuns have to do that wasn't her money okay but so never mind stealing

lock you up too yeah Jesus Christ that's the only a person and then it says share what you have with your community oh my god only a for only a scammer from Brooklyn would try to understand this nonsense. If I was an attorney. Not to mention she did all of this in Las Vegas. Las Vegas, Sin City? Well, actually, the other rule is what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. It should never even be brought up as a case. You know, I think Sister Mary and Angel Lee, I don't think there's no alkaline in their holy water, okay?

If I was trying to make a defense for her situation, I would say, I guess we all sin, right? Except for Jesus, who they say was perfect, right? Then I want to know, who did not take a vow of silence and snitched on this woman? Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Yeah, you know. Listen, if I had to make a defense for her, I would say I guess we all sin except for Jesus.

They say Jesus was perfect. Jesus was sent to save us, but he couldn't save us if we don't sin. Right. So if we have to sin, we got to sin so Jesus can do his job. Yeah. If we don't sin, then Jesus died for nothing. All right. You think that would work? No, no. The moral of the story is you can't run off on the plug when the plug is God. Okay? Please give Sister Mary Margaret Krupa the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day.

Yee-haw. Yee-haw. I bet you she's from Brooklyn. I don't think he's from Brooklyn. It's possible. What is that supposed to mean? You know what it means. It means exactly what he said.

Okay, there's so many scammers in Brooklyn. All right. She wouldn't have got caught if she was from Brooklyn. Yes, she would have. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey she was from Brooklyn. Yeah, she would have. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.

Call up now for Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. Come on, mom. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Ye.

Eat the bread. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Nicole. Hey, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Nicole. Hey, Nicole.

What's your question for Yee? Yeah, I just want to know, like, my boyfriend, I think that he cheated on me. I think that he's cheating. And I just really want to know, like, how do you go about asking your man, is he cheating without disrupting your household? And I feel like he did it, like, maybe over the last year.

Why do you feel that way now? Do you know he cheated or you just in your head think, did you do your research? I mean, I'm pretty positive that he did it, but the only way I can verify it is if I, you know, ask him straight up. And I mean, yeah, I've gone through, like, you know, I've seen little messages here and there and stuff on Facebook, but I don't want like, you know, I've seen little messages here and there and stuff on Facebook. But I don't want to, you know.

What did you see? I've seen he was messaging some girls and they were talking about like the way they were talking to each other just seemed really inappropriate. But it never went further than that. It just it seemed like they would message. And I don't know if he was deleting the messages in between or if they were getting on the phone in between, but the messages just seemed like, it was like, hey, what you doing?

Well, what time you get off? Oh, I like that place you ate. Like, they were real inconsistent messages. Right, okay. But you can see, you know what I'm saying? And so you haven't said anything to him yet, but this is just eating you up. Yes, it's bothering me.

Why haven't you said anything? Because I don't want to interrupt the household. Because, I mean, I do really feel like he's a good guy. But I don't, you know, if you look for it, you're going to find what you're looking for. Oh, my God, girl. How about if he's doing it and then you look for it, you'll find out? I mean, yeah, you kind of point. It's doing it and then you look for it, you'll find out? Yeah, you got a point. It's not your fault that you looked for something and found it.

And I don't like when people use that as an argument. It actually sucks that you feel like you have to look for something. And you know what's worse, too? Now you're going to keep on looking. Because once you find something, you're going to keep on. You're going to be obsessed with checking it all the time, right? Correct. Exactly.

And that's my thing. Because now I keep on looking and now I'm just trying to focus because I started a business recently. So I'm like, you know what? I'm just going to focus on my business, focus on my brand. And let him cheat.

And try to stay focused. Exactly. And that's what I was thinking would be the better. Or like, you know, do I ask about it or do I just try to focus on my brand?

You better ask about it. Your relationship is never going to work if you know your man is cheating and you don't even talk to him about it. Every time he does something, you're going to think he's out cheating. You're going to be checking his messages constantly. You can't live like that. Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and just ask the question. And y'all think, can I shut out my brand because I am starting a new brand now? Girl, okay, go ahead. Okay, I am starting a new brand now? Girl.

Okay, go ahead. Okay. I'm Nicole Lorraine Organics on Instagram. I make organic hair care products. And if he is cheating on you, you still plan to stay and work it out?

Depends on what's that. Probably not. You know, I'm going to tell you this. What I think really matters is when you confront somebody about something, how does that conversation go?

How do they respond? Right. And so I think you need to focus on that. You have to talk to him about it. You have to approach him. Tell him what you've seen. Tell him what you know and see what he has to say. And nobody's going to judge you on what you decide to do.

But I do want to tell you to do what's best for you. And don't stay with somebody just because it's convenient. Don't stay with somebody just because you're going to just focus on your business and let something happen that bothers you because you call here because something is bothering you. You're not okay with it, and you don't have to be okay with somebody cheating on you. Definitely. And that's what I'm concerned about.

That's what I want to ask. Okay. All right. I'm asking. Thanks. All right. I'm asking. Thanks. All right. Best case scenario, he'll say, you know what? I messed up. I can't believe I did that. What do I need to do to fix this? Okay. Well, I appreciate y'all all at the Breakfast Club. All right. Take care. All right. Ask Yee. 805-1051. If you need relationship advice, hit her right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Here's some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Nina. Hey, Nina. What's your question for Yee?

Okay, I've been in a situation. I've known this man for 10 years. We were friends with benefits. I had a baby. We moved in together. So for the past two years, we've been living together. Now, I'm not going to lie, he finessed me. I was paying the majority of the bills, even daycare.

So now that I'm over the situation and I'm moving out, he's expecting me to continue to pay all the bills until our lease is up. Both of your names are on the lease? Yes. I know by law that I have to. By law. But, like I told him, you owe me two months

worth of rent. Why doesn't he move out? I chose to move out because he won't move. He's the aggressor. Like, he's not he's just like the dominant type like, oh, what I say goes. Stuff like that. So, I know his character, so it's

best that me and my kids just go. Question. Have you spoken to the landlord? Yes, I have. I spoke to her a few months ago and like I said landlord? Yes, I have. I spoke to her a few months ago. And like I said, by law, I'm still on the lease. They can't take me off the lease until the lease is up, no matter what I try to do. Can you ask her if you can find somebody else to move in or they can find another tenant if you can get out of the lease?

Well, yeah, they do do sublease him, but he's still there. And I think he's going to renew the lease from what, yeah, they do do subleasing, but he's still there. And I think he's going to renew the lease from what you told me. But he's trying to tell me he's not going to do anything. He's not going to pay the rent or whatever. It'll be on my credit report. Like, sir, it'll be on yours too. Right. So legally, your hands are tied because I kind of feel like if he wants to, you should try to see if both of you can move out and they can get somebody else to move in. But if you're both on the lease and he's planning to stay, then legally you might not have much of a choice. Now, does he take care of the child? Is that, that's his child?

Yes, that's his child. Financially, does he support? Financially, he buys, you know, clothes here and there. But like as far as daycare, food, anything else, it's all on me. All right, well, he was threatening to sue you. So what I would say is, you know, since he's willing to go to the courts for things, you need to make sure you get child support so that he takes care of his financial responsibilities. Oh, I've told him that, you know, like, I'm going to just go to child support. We can handle everything through the court. Oh, you don't have a leg to stand on. That's not true.

I got proof. Like, you're not intelligent enough to know what to do. That's why we have lawyers. Exactly. Yeah. So I say don't even tell him what you're doing. Go the legal route because that's what he's threatening you with. And make sure that you get everything, you know, straightened out that way because these are your finances and first and foremost you're going to make sure your

child is taken care of so get a lawyer and get to work no mercy right exactly but now i have to figure out what am i going to do as far as like he takes the kids to daycare for me because i go to work super early in the morning. So now I think he's going to try to sabotage my job to where, like, when we're going to have a meet-up spot. He agreed to everything, but I just know his character. I'm going to get the text saying, oh, I'm not going to be able to get him tonight. You know.

I think that's why I think going through the court is an excellent way to handle this because he's going to have certain responsibilities. And if he doesn't have that and he's not living up to his end of the bargain, that's how you have an intermediate person that establishes everything. So now he has legal responsibilities or there's going to be some type of consequences. Okay. I didn't know if the court really,

you know, put their, you know, put in and be like, Hey, if you agree to this, you got to do this. Right.

And then and that's things as you all are dealing with custody situations, you know, you can end up getting full custody if he's not living up to his end of the bargain. Right. So just things to think about. But I would definitely speak to a lawyer so they can tell you what all of your options are and the best ways for you to move forward and handle your business because this is going to lay down the foundation and the blueprint for what is going to happen while you guys are trying to co-parent right because that's that's the next hurdle i

have to deal with with him is the co-parenting yeah but you know at the end of the day you got to get out of a toxic situation so i'm glad that you're doing that for yourself and for your child. Yes. Oh, my God. Yes. I'm in therapy because of you. Yeah. You know, handle your business, girl.

And listen, we support you 1,000%, but no mercy. No mercy. I got this. Okay. All right. Thanks, Yee. You're welcome. All right.

Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can, Yee. You're welcome. All right. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call Yee. So yesterday, we created a GoFundMe for Little Duval to send him to space with Jeff Bezos. Because Little Duval literally has been talking about going to space for as long as I've known him. I've known Duval for damn near 15, almost 20 years. How much money have you guys raised so far? I don't think they've raised... How much?

Five. Five dollars? Five dollars. We trying to raise four million. Trying to raise four million, but you got a ways to go. It's up to five dollars. Shout to Truman Jr. Castillo.

Damn. He donated five dollars 10 hours ago. It's crazy. Damn, we've had this up for 24 hours. Nobody believes in Duvall's dream and we've only raised $5? Yeah. Nobody believes in his dream to go to outer space. Damn it, man. Who is Truman?

Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes, and let's talk about Fab. Some people were upset over a post that he did, an appreciation post for Claudette Ortiz from City High, and we'll see what you think. All right. We'll get into it next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. The Rumor Report. On The Breakfast Club. So Fab had posted a picture in his Instagram stories. And that picture is of Claudette Ortiz. You know her from City High.

And he said, it's vintage now, but the natural vibe still. And that was his way of, you know, saying the natural vibe is still fire. He put the fire emoji after that. Got a lot of backlash after that of people thinking that he was trying to shoot his shot. Now he wanted to set the record straight and he posted everybody be talking to that. Give people their flowers while they are alive. That's when you do it. They make

it an issue. Appreciation posts ain't mean to be nothing but flowers. People try to find the negative in everything even in showing love. Interesting. I mean, Fab's right though. I mean, you know, you should give people their flowers and there's nothing wrong with an appreciation post. But I guess people

were saying it because it's a woman. I don't understand. And it's about her body. I know some couples on Instagram who do that. You know, they post pictures of beautiful women. Clearly, that couple has that understanding. I don't know what Fab and his queen do. But they might have been sitting together when he posted that. I don't know if she know, what Fab and his queen do. But they might have been sitting together

when he posted that. I don't know if she's mad or not. I don't know what it's about. I'm just saying the people were mad, of course, because he had to respond and explain that. So that was his response

to the people who had things to say. I mean, that would be a fear factor challenge for me. What you mean? For me to post something like that. That's a fear factor challenge in my house.

You know, I don't want that smoke with my wife, but I don't know what Fab and his queen, what kind of understanding they got. How fast you get hit over the head? Exactly. I just don't want that smoke with my wife, but I don't know what Fab and his queen, what kind of understanding they got. How fast you get hit over the head?

Exactly. I just don't understand why social media gets mad at things like they dating Fab. Like they with Fab. I wonder if Emily posted a picture of a guy, let's just say,

and was like, you know, the workout body is still amazing or something like that. Appreciation post. You got to do some pushups, Fab. That's all. I couldn't even see her doing that anyway, but, you know, the workout body is still amazing or something like that. Appreciation post. You got to do some pushups, fab. That's all.

I couldn't even see her doing that anyway. But, you know, sometimes people have to think also if the roles were reversed. And I don't know if she was mad or if she was okay with that. We have no idea. They might have been sitting together when he posted that. We have no idea. They might have had a conversation and she was like,

she's fire. Yeah, she might have. That's what I'm saying. She might have bought it up. But maybe not. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. When you post pictures of Morris Chestnut with his shirt off sometimes, does your wife get jealous?

No, but Embi does. First of all, rub your eyes. Rub your eyes. Because when I post pictures of Morris Chestnut, that's me. Shut up, man. All right. Now, Cat Williams said that he was upset. He was crushed after Cedric the attainer entertainer allegedly stole his joke

he was talking to the morning hustle and here's what he said the comedian was already bigger and more famous than me and he took my clothes and joke and made it his clothes and joke on kings of comedy i was in the theater i paid my money to go see kings of comedy and to see my joke being there and not me um was about as disrespectful as it gets in our craft and um i really took it really personally with cedric the entertainer at that time i can see that i can see totally why he would feel that way all right well here's the joke white people like space movies black people don't really do space like that white people love space movies they love movies about't really do space like that. White people love space movies. They love movies about the moon and Mars,

where they can be leaving our ass down here on Earth. That's what they think. They think they're gonna leave us down here on Earth. They gonna move to the moon. Ain't gonna happen. Y'all move to the moon, damn it, we coming to the moon. Oh, we'll be right behind y'all in space shuttles with Cadillac grills.

Just rolling one headlight out. Sad part about it is there's probably no footage of Cat doing the joke because Cat said, like he said, he wasn't the bigger comedian at the time. Right. A lot of comedians say things like that have happened to them too. I mean, no ideas original, nothing new under the sun. It depends on how much like it it was though, if it was very specific.

All right, now get ready for Rolling Loud in New York. The date has been announced. It's going to be October 28th to the 30th and tickets do go on sale on Friday and it's going to be at Citi Field. So the headliners, 50 Cent along with J. Cole and Travis Scott. Sounds good.

So that's future and gonna headline. You know why that makes me excited?

Not because I'm going to any of these shows, because, you know, I don't go anywhere, but because all of these things create jobs. You know what I mean? People's money is starting to circulate again. The artists are eating. You know, the people who work at these festivals are eating. The artist teams are eating.
