Good morning, USA! Ye is back. Ye is back. Ye is back. Yes, I missed you guys. I was in Johannesburg in South Africa. First, I was in Jamaica in Port Antonio, and then I went to Johannesburg. It was my first time in South Africa. Didn't you love it? Yeah, it was amazing. I'll tell you this, though. They had security with us nonstop. Like, I couldn't go not one place.

You didn't need security in Johannesburg, though. Just telling people you didn't need security, though. I'm not used to that. But you didn't need it. No, I didn't. I didn't ask, though. Just telling people you didn't need security, though. I'm not used to that. But you didn't need it. No, I didn't. I didn't ask for it. I had no idea. The security we had was the same security that took care of Obama when he was out there.

And so anything I had to do, like if I wanted to go to the gym, they're in the gym with us. It was a different type of feeling for me. But everybody treated us great. It was actually a women's event. It's called Her Story. Hip-hop Her Story. So Roxanne Shante was there with us. And It was actually a women's event. It's called Her Story, Hip Hop Her Story. So Roxanne Shante was there with us, and so was Young M.A. And it was a lot of artists from South Africa, women who are rappers.

And they were pretty incredible. So, you know, it was great. It was a good experience. I got to meet a lot of people. And while I was out there, I was watching all of the drama that was happening here. And I was like, man, it was so much solidarity. The women were supporting each other. It was a great event.

And then I'm looking at Cardi B versus Nicki Minaj. I'm looking at all these things happening here. And I was like, maybe I should just stay. You should have put your phone down. You went to Nelson Mandela Square, right? Yeah, I went to Nelson Mandela Square. We went to Mandela's house. We went to the Apartheid Museum.

We went to a safari, all of that. Oh, man. I was only there for like three days. I love Johannesburg. I love South Africa. Shout went to the Apartheid Museum. We went to a safari. All of that. I was only there for like three days. I love Joe Hendersbury. I love South Africa. Shout out to everybody. Shout out to all the Africans that listen to The Breakfast Club. We appreciate you guys. I love it. It's a 15 hour flight. Yes. Low flight though. And today is National No News is

Good News Day. I don't even know what the hell that means. What the hell does that mean? National No News is Good News Day. You know how sometimes you're like, oh Lord, please don't somebody else hit me up with something terrible happening. Oh, so don't tell me nothing. No, I mean, as long as it's quiet, like you know how when you don't get any mail, you're excited because there's no bills? Perfect example.

You took your, let's say you took your STD test and they didn't call you today. No news is good news. Yeah, so okay, so nobody tell me nothing, so that means it's good news. Right. No emergencies. Nothing bad happening. Alright. So no need for rumor report today. so that means it's good news. Right. There you go. No emergencies. Nothing bad happening. All right. So no need for rumor report today.

All front page news. No news. All right, well, let's all go home. There's nothing good in none of those, I'm sure. I'm jet lagged. I don't mind extending this one more day. Well, we got a bunch of special guests joining us this morning. We have Judge Lynn Toler.

Okay. I like Judge Lynn a lot from Divorce Court. From Divorce Court. We'll be kicking it with her. And also Russ. I never met Russ before. Me neither. He's been wanting to come to the Breakfast Club.

Long time. I hear nothing good about Russ. Everybody always says bad things about Russ. Everybody says, yeah, they hate Russ. They do? What? Are you serious? I didn't know that.

I never heard that. Everybody. People hate Russ. It's a whole big F Russ campaign. That's almost like his claim to fame. Yeah, people just hate him. Yes. I never knew that.

I don't know where you've been. Why do they hate Russ so much? I don't know. I honestly don't know, to be honest. They should do a show, an online show, Everybody Hates Russ. They said because he's too cocky, he's conceited, he feels himself. Yep. He puts other artists down.

I guess we'll find out this morning. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. Guess who's doing it? Envy. We want to extend it. The people are demanding that Envy keep doing front page news.

Nah, be nip. Nip, nip, nip. Well, this person got donkey of the day while I was away, and we'll give you an update on her status. All right. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now in Monday Night Football, the Jets beat the Lions 48-17 and the Rams beat the Raiders 33-13. Now, let's talk about this hurricane, Yee.

Yes, Hurricane Florence here. A mandatory evacuation is nearing a Category 5 in strength. Right now, they are saying that in South Carolina today, mandatory evacuation orders take effect at noon in eight counties along the coastline. And in North Carolina, they're saying more than one million people on the southern east coast have faced mandatory evacuation orders, as Hurricane Florence is going to be a Category 5 strength today. So as you can see, if you're anywhere near these areas, the weather is pretty bad. I know a lot of flights were delayed, so if you are traveling, make sure you check that out.

I salute all my peoples in South Carolina. Y'all hold y'all head. Have you been checking on everybody? Yeah, I think it's supposed to hit, like, the coast, like the Myrtle Beach near Wilmington area. So that's not—it's kind of near my people, but not really. All right, and Colin Kaepernick, he's selling these I'm With Cap jerseys on his website. And for $175, 20% of the

proceeds go to his Your Rights Camp. It's not made by Nike. Now, according to Colin Kaepernick, it actually instantly sold out. So if you want to get one of those I'm With Cap jerseys, those profits will go to support Your Rights Camp. Yeah, I felt a little way about that, because I want to buy one, but you know what I'm saying? You can't.

It's sold out. Yeah, but you got to give me first dibs. I'm your man. You know what I'm saying? You got to give me first dibs on your jersey. Again, it's not always about you. If I want a jersey, it is. But go online and buy one.

So you mean to tell me when y'all want something, but y'all know the person who's selling it and then it's sold out, y'all don't feel a little way? Like, damn, you couldn't hit me up first No And let me know You think you his only friend No But we talk every day

Thousands of people that know Colin Kaepernick Yeah but me and Kaep talk every day I'm sure there's people that talk to him all every day too That bought a jersey You probably can go on eBay and get one for maybe a thousand dollars Yeah support the cause Why would I do that I'm kidding

The funny thing is That would not support the cause He did send me the link this weekend I didn't look at it See there you go See there you go Well See, there you go. Well... I just saw the picture.

It was your fault. Time for you to know your rights. He didn't even look. He didn't even check the link. I didn't even click on it. All right, now let's do an update on a woman who got donkey of the day, Amber Geiger, a Dallas police officer. As you guys know, she was off duty when she shot Botham Shem John, a black man who was

in his own apartment. She said she thought she was entering her own apartment and didn't realize that she was on the wrong floor. Now they are saying that she's charged

with manslaughter, but they may upgrade and make those more serious charges today. You think? We'll find out. I doubt it, but they should. So now they are

considering doing that. How does something like that happen? Was she drunk? Did they say yet if she had alcohol in her system? They did a toxicology report to her on the scene, but I don't think the results have come back yet. But she had just literally got off work.

Like, literally. She was still in uniform. She had been doing a 15-hour shift. Right. She said she thought that there was a burglar in her apartment, not knowing that it wasn't her apartment, and that's when she shot it. Now, listen, the story that they told makes a lot of sense.

I mean, that's a great put-together story because it's not about what you know. It's about what you can prove. I can't see him charging her. I can't see him after everything because all she's going to say is, I went into the wrong apartment. I was scared.

I told him to put his hands up, and I fired. That's what she's going to say. No, she didn't even say that. And she's going to say it was a mistake. They said the apartment was pitch black. All she saw was a figure. And the door was open so she thought that somebody had broken into her place.

What do you think should happen? That's a tough one because if she really thought it was her apartment, it was an honest mistake. It was a mistake if that's what happened. There's nothing that you can do. You walk into the wrong apartment. Yes, it's absolutely positively foul and wrong, but if she walked into that apartment thinking it was her, it was pitch black, somebody's coming approaching her, she fired her weapon.

I mean, it's a horrific mistake. I've walked to the wrong car before. I've walked, actually, in my neighborhood, I've walked up the steps to the wrong house and I've been like, oh, this isn't my door. Were you drunk? No. I just was on my phone, so I wasn't paying attention. I walked up the steps of the house next door

to me. It was in the middle of the day. Should she be in jail for murder for that? I don't think so. I don't know. I don't think so. But it's just sad for the family. It is definitely sad for the family. Because of course you want to see something happen. She admitted that she shot and killed him. But it's a mistake. You can't give me an oops after you took my people's

life. You know what I mean? You can't just say sorry. Alright, well that. No, you can't. You can't give me an oops after you took my people's life. You know what I mean? You can't just say sorry. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest. Whether you're man or flesh. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.

So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? What's up? My name is Jay because Angelique, you my babe. Why is it your... Wait, your name is Jay? Because Angelique, you my babe. So why is it Jay?

I don't get it. Put your dumb ass down with them dumb ass rhymes. I like it. Thank you. Nah, I love you too. But, um, yeah, you should have came. I miss you. But, um, I just want to say why people hate Russ.

People hate Russ. Okay, first of all, I'm not even going to listen today because y'all have Russ on. Wow. I only wanted to call and say that we hate Russ because Russ is very insensitive. When little Pete died, Russ was talking really crazy and disrespectful. He said, oh, you people should die if you're using drugs. Wow. And it was very disrespectful and hurtful to Lil Peep.

So that's one of the reasons why people hate Russ. Wow, he said that? I highly doubt he said it like that. But yes, continue. When you read the tweet, go back and read the tweet and ask him. Quote him on it. When he upped in Charlamagne because you got a mouth, Mr. Mouth, you make sure you ask him what he said.

You heard? And Angelou Yee, I really miss you. Like, these guys was freaking doing crap rumor report when he was born. Can you please not take no more vacations? I love you, Angelou Yee. I heard that they did a great job with the rumor report. you was born. Could you please not take no more vacations? I love you, Angelina. I heard that they did a great job with the rumor report.

Shut up, B. Hello, who's this? This is Cam here calling from Jacksonville. Man, what's up, Cam? Get it off your chest. Hey, Envy. Hey, bro.

I mean, you sound a little crazy to me when you say you feel like it's not her fault. I didn't say it wasn't her fault. I just said I don't know how she would be charged. It was an accident. I don't think you can charge a murder for an just said I don't know how she would be charged. It was an accident.

I don't think you can charge her for a murder for an accident. Well, let's change the situation then. Let's say that he was at the wrong apartment and he tried to walk into her apartment the same way. And then he sees her in the building and he shoots her in her apartment. So you're saying let's say it was a black man that shot and killed a white woman. That's right, an off-duty cop. You know what I'm saying? I think that I would...

I think I would feel the same way. I'd be like, damn, I don't know what should happen to him. Absolutely. You walk into the wrong apartment, you honestly think it's yours and no malice? You really just think you're going home to go to sleep somebody in your apartment and you shoot? You know, yeah, it's a horrible situation

for the person that gets killed in their family, but I don't necessarily see how you would charge somebody for murder for that because they didn't intentionally do it. It wasn't intentionally. Well, that's why manslaughter should probably be the right charge. Yeah, right now it is at manslaughter. Because it's not premeditated. It wasn't intentional.

So manslaughter probably is the right charge. It definitely is a charge. I can see manslaughter. I can see that. But the whole thing that shoot first, a question later mentality that people have nowadays is wrong. She was in the wrong. She came into the wrong apartment and she shot an innocent person.

I'm with you 100%. It's an accident, but it's still a death. It's the same thing with a vehicle manslaughter. It's the same thing. Even though it's an accident, it's still a death. I think manslaughter is the right choice. We also got to look at the context. She thought she was in her place. It's not like she knew she walked into the wrong apartment. And they didn't know each other, apparently, at all.

If you thought you was in your house and you thought somebody was in there, you'd be bucking off, too. You'd be shooting first, too. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Brian from Florence, South Carolina. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. I just want to say that I'm blessed.

And I thank God for waking me up this morning. Amen. Giving me another chance to get everything right and I want to shout out my own. So I can't lie to family, you know, as they get prepared for this hurricane, you know, I want to tell them that you might lose some things, but as long as life's hard and lost,

you're going to be all right. All right, brother. That is very true, sir. And that's like half optimistic. I mean, damn, the hurricane ain't even hit you. And you're already telling me I'm going to lose something? What you got? Jesus Christ. Get it off your chest. I mean, damn, the hurricane ain't even hit you. And you already telling me I'm going to lose something? Jesus Christ. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So you better have the same energy. Hello, who's this?

What's up, man? This is Reckless TV. How y'all doing, man? What's up, Reckless TV? Hey, I'm glad Angie is back. Hey, what's up, Reckless TV? I just want to speak on Carter real quick. I'm not upset at Carter.

I'm glad that she did, you know, press Nikki, especially if you're talking about my family and kids. I don't care if we at a funeral. You're going to get pressed. You know what I'm saying? I might do it differently. I might have walked up all nice and quiet with a fake smile, but as soon as I would have got close up to your hands,

we started being like, so what about that tweet you sent out yesterday? You know what I'm saying? We already at a funeral. You know what I'm saying? You can go right now. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, you can go in with your cousin. I don't care. can go right now. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, you can go in with your cousin. I don't care.

Oh, my gosh. I heard Nicki Minaj was talking reckless about Carter yesterday. Yeah, we'll talk about it, I'm sure, in the rumor report. I'm sure we will. And people were mad at, as Charlamagne and I said, that we were encouraging violence. And that's not what we said. We said that no matter where you are, if you say something about me,

we're going to have some aggressive conversation. No matter where we're at. All I'm simply saying is you cannot say what you want and expect people not to react. Stop telling people how to react. Because if I push you and then, you know, the person that I push punches me in my face, he's not wrong for punching me. I shouldn't have pushed that person. I agree with you. Y'all keep trying to make people react the way

y'all want them to react. That's not how this works. I do think things be spiraling out of control unnecessarily. Diamond. Hi, DJ Izzy. Good morning, Diamond. Good morning. Good morning, Angela Yee.

Good morning, Diamond. Good morning, Diamond. How are you? How was the club last night? How much you make? I don't go to club. I'm a cancer. I stay in the house.

Oh, I thought you was a stripper. My bad. Oh, stop it. No, no, no, sir. Okay. There's a lot of people out there named Diamond that's not strippers. Oh, I'm old school. I'm from the Players Club era.

I really don't know, but I'll just say that. I know you know Diamond. Nuck, if you buck Diamond. That's not real, man. Yes, I know that, Diamond. Well, get it off your chest, Mama. Yes, I think that people need to stop driving after a certain age. Oh, my gosh.

Because, yes. You got behind an old person. Let me tell you. Let me tell you. My grandma's license has been suspended like four times because her tickets, she gets $2,000 worth of tickets every year. Damn it, man. For parking tickets?

For running red lights because she can't see that the light is red. Oh, my goodness. You need to get her a Lyft account or an Uber account and tell her, anytime you need to go somewhere, let me know and I'm going to call the car for you. I ain't going to front my grandmama. That's what I try to to front my grandmama. My grandmama should have stopped driving a long time ago when she was driving. One time she hit about seven cars. Whoa. And then she went home

and they said, well, why'd you go home? She was like, I'm 90 years old. I'm not stopping in the middle of the street for this. I figure y'all find me. But that's just the way old people think. So maybe it's not just age, but it's also like how your resources are about you. Like some people can function very well in their 80s. Well, she can still pop the ish out of me at that age, but she wasn't stopping.

Maybe they have to get tested. Your reflexes are naturally slower at 90, bro. Well, thank you, mama. You don't need to be driving. You ain't slamming on no brakes at 90 when you see a car right in front of you. And imagine all them old people still trying to text and drive. Oh, my goodness. With their flip-flops.

T-Walk. What's up, y'all? What's up, T-Walk? What up, what up? What up, so? flip phones? T-Walk. What's up, y'all? What's up, T-Walk? What up, what up? What up? Go ahead, T-Walk. Tell us how we biased this morning, T-Walk. Go ahead, Mama.

All right, so I feel like I've been an avid member of the Breakfast Club. And at one point, you guys were Team Nikki. So I want to know, and this is for mainly the new listeners, what's the story as to why you guys are not so much team Nikki? I just want to say one thing before the guys talk. I'm not team anybody. I just report on these

stories, and I actually hate the fact that these two women are going at it with each other like that. It actually is really... It's very sad to me. I feel like, like I said, I was just in South Africa. Everybody was getting along. I think we need that energy. Yeah, but you act like women ain't been beefing over here since the beginning of time. Rappers, period.

Not even just women. Rappers. Yeah, but I think this is getting too much spiraling out of control too much. It's such terrible negative energy. I think we've seen it the worst we ever could in hip-hop and Big and Pogda. Right. It's always been women beefing. This is mainly for you, though.

I'm not team anybody. I do like Cardi, though. You get paid in defense. This is mainly for you, though. I'm not team anybody. I do like Cardi, though. You get paid by Atlantic Records to promote Cardi. I do. But Nikki has a terrible attitude. That's the truth to the matter. Nikki has a terrible attitude. And everything that people say about Nikki,

when they say she does a lot of things behind the scenes that piss people off, is absolutely positively true. And, you know, I've seen her. I judge people based off how they treat people that can't do anything for them. And I judge them based off how they treat people that I't do anything for them. And I judge them based off how they treat people that I know are good people. So it ain't even about me. I've seen her talk crazy to

the one person in particular. And I'm like, yo, if you talk crazy about her, then I just don't rock with you no more. And we all in this room know who that person is. I don't. If she wants to tell y'all one day, then she will. She's a radio personality. A legendary radio personality who has never said anything bad about anyone at all.

Okay? Yeah, I'm with Charlamagne. I just don't like negativity and nastiness. And if somebody's nasty, regardless of who you are, I'm going to tell you. I just feel like Cardi is winning so much right now. Whether or not Nicki messes with her, like, keep winning. Yeah, and Nicki's very slick. Nicki does things like all day yesterday.

I see what she does. She'll like a tweet, and then she'll unlike it. Because when she likes it, all her bobs will see it. So it's like a bat signal. And then all her bobs I see what she does. She'll like a tweet and then she'll unlike it because when she likes it, all her bobs will see it. So it's like a bat signal. And then all her bobs will start attacking that person. She know what she be doing. So it's just like, yo, I'm not mad at any energy that she puts out. She's definitely going to receive back.

But I wish her the best. Oh, that was nice. I do. I wish her the best. Did you get your answer, T-Walk? Thank y'all. I appreciate it. But we love you, though, because you're part of the Breakfast Club. Thanks, y'all. That's all that matters. We love you back. All right. Well, rumors. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, since we're talking about entering

the wrong person's home, let's talk about a home invasion, a robbery that went wrong because it was the wrong house. Also, because of this weather, this Hurricane Florence will tell you about some casualties if you are planning on going to a festival. All right. Well, the rumors are on the way. And guess who's doing them?

Envy. Nope. Yee. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. And from Divorce Court, Judge Lynn Toler will be in the building. It's The Breakfast Club.

Because sometimes we say things like that and people run up on us in the street. Like, give me a room for Powerhouse. iHeart, definitely. Yes, iHeart. iHeart. We as in iHeart. iHeart. Okay, the corporation, the company.

And you can't just run up on us and ask for a room. I don't even have tickets. All right, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk YG. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up.

Well, YG has been hit with two new felony charges. All of that from his alleged Vegas robbery. If you guys remember, when he was up here on The Breakfast Club, we asked him about it. Check it out. We had an incident too. You know what's crazy is that people really will test you because they think

you can't do anything because you're a celebrity. Right? Oh, out in Vegas. Yes, remember that? We had an incident out in Vegas. Oh, cold. What? It's true.

Is that chain you're wearing, did you buy that yourself or did you take that from someone? You got two of them on you. You got that allegedly. Is that the chain that allegedly was snatched?

Y'all crazy. I ain't snatched no chain, man. Have you ever? Man, that man was a mad fan. You know what I'm saying? He was a mad fan. I got to call my... I can't even talk about this type of...

Okay. All right, now the alleged victim is Benjamin Nadiri, who is suing YG in the Cosmopolitan Hotel over this incident where he said he saw him, asked for an autograph. YG refused, got upset, and then he heard the rapper tell his entourage to get him. And that's when, according to Naderi, YG's crew surrounded him, held him down and punched him and then stole his chain. He said they then fled the scene before anybody responded. Here's what else YG had to say on The Breakfast Club. Now you got to ask your lawyer if you can talk about your case in Vegas.

Yeah, bro, because that's all people want to talk to me about when I pull up to, like, this criminal. Hey, hey, hey, what's happening? Oh, he just put on his corporate voice. Let me see if his voice changed while he talked to his child. He put on the corporate voice. You don't say anything about that. Look, I got one question real quick.

Sure. I'm doing an interview right now. Could I talk about my case or not? I wouldn't. Exactly. I wouldn't. Well, and some positive news. I think I saw YG in a trailer for a movie last night.

Well, that's good. I was half asleep in bed, but I could have swore I saw YG in the trailer for the movie. All right. Well, let's hope for the best for YG. We don't know exactly what happened. These are all allegations. But he has been hit with two new felony charges. Originally, let's hope for the best for YG. We don't know exactly what happened. These are all allegations. But he has been hit with two new felony charges. Originally, it was one charge.

It was only one charge of felony robbery. All right. And if you are planning to go to J. Cole's Dreamville Festival, that has been rescheduled. They had to cancel it because of Hurricane Florence. It was supposed to be going down on September 15th. He tweeted out, man, due to this hurricane heading to North Carolina, we have to cancel Dreamville Festival. We're working to get another date, but right now safety is most important. I appreciate everybody that was headed to rock with us.

30,000 plus were expected. All tickets will be refunded. Be safe. Safety first, man. Why refund the tickets, though? Why not just move the date? Well, because what if people can't make it on that date? Or what if he has to change the lineup?

It's just easier probably to refund it. And, you know, because people probably plan this way in advance, bought their tickets. What if he changes to a date that you can't make it? And you can always buy them again. Right. I hope ain't nobody spent that money yet. You know, you spend that money because you think you're about to get something

because you're throwing a party or you got a concert or something. Oh, yeah, if you're the promoter. I hope ain't nobody spent their money yet. Alright, and Post Malone, somebody tried to break in his house, some guys with guns. You know, they've been doing all these home invasions in LA and Cali, and

apparently it was three male suspects that smashed a front window, and they said a resident living there was pistol whipped. Only thing is, Post Malone doesn't live there anymore. They said one of the men yelled out, where's Post Malone? And they stole a bunch of cash and jewelry and cell phones, about $20,000 worth of stuff. But he's been moved. So he hasn't been living in there for months.

I used to think that black cloud following Post Malone was dirt, like Pigpen or Charlie Brown. But clearly, what's up with Post Malone? Somebody got a chicken bone buried with Post Malone. Well, it's not just him. Let's be clear. They're breaking into a lot of people's homes. You know, Christina Milian. I'm not just talking about that, though. I'm talking about the fact that Post Malone's name on it somewhere. Well, it's not just him. Let's be clear. They're breaking into a lot of people's homes. You know, Christina Milian. I'm not just talking about that, though.

With Khalifa. I'm talking about the fact that Post Malone got into a car wreck last week. A plane incident. A plane incident. And now this. Somebody has a mayonnaise jar buried with Post Malone's name on it somewhere. Please, unearth that mayonnaise jar, man, and take that curse off that young man. You know what they say.

With more success comes more drama, though. Not that type of drama. No. All right. No, they don't say that. Not with that type of stuff he got going on. And Jeffrey Owens, we all know him, of course, as Elvin from The Cosby Show. He was talking about how Bill Cosby's legal issues actually is what affected his finances.

According to People magazine, he had been receiving royalties from The Cosby Show for years. But when they actually pulled all those shows from syndications and the checks stopped coming, he said, yes, it impacted me financially. He said at the time the show was pulled, that did make a difference in our income. That was one of the elements that led to my getting to the place where I said to myself, I have to do something. And I was thinking, what can I do? And the answer ended up being Trader Joe's, which is actually a wonderful situation for

me in many ways. But I got to the point I just had to do something to support myself and my family. And just to recap, they had a picture of Jeffrey Owens in his Trader Joe's uniform and he was embarrassed, he said, by that whole ordeal when somebody posted that picture of him. He said, I felt really humiliated. But things have turned much better for him

as he's now going to be working on Tyler Perry's show. Why not rerun the Cosby show but call it The Huxtables instead of The Cosby Show? I guess the fact that he's still involved, though. You can't take him out. It's not like Roseanne. You can't kill him. He's playing a character, though.

And Roseanne's character is more like Roseanne in real life than Heathcliff Huxtable was to Bill Cosby, clearly. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. But it is true. You don't think about how it affects everyone else on the show. Not just one person's affected. Mm-hmm. All right. But it is true. You don't think about how it affects everyone else on the show. Not just one person's affected.

All right. Now, when we come back from DeForest Court, Judge Lynn Tola will be joining us. Can't wait to sit down and talk to the real Judge Lynn. That's right. We'll kick it with her when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes. Judge Lynn Tola. Good morning. How you doing? Good morning to you. Good Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes. Judge Lynn Tola.

Good morning. How you doing? Good morning to you. Good morning. How are you? I'm fantastic. You want to know why? Yes, talk to me.

Because now my children believe I'm somebody. Because I'm here. Oh, so those... Oh, the telephone call, the TV show don't matter. Where I've been don't matter. The only two things they respected, I was on the Tyra Banks show. And my son was 15, so I appreciated that. And this. And the Breakfast Club.

Otherwise, I'm unfunny, uncool, until they need a check. And then I'm everybody. And then I'm everybody. They got to respect those. They do. They do. But that's it. I think you don't get enough credit for the advocacy you've done on behalf of mental health.

Oh, yeah. You know, my father was bipolar. And back in the day when nobody did anything about it. And I lived with that for a very, very long time. And then when I was in court, half, not half of the people, but a good portion of the people I saw were in there simply because they were mentally ill. And I had people actually come into my courtroom on a small charge and say, match me out, judge, so I can go to county jail and get medded up because I can't afford my meds at home. So people wanted to go to jail to get meds to get help. Because they could not afford them. Wow.

Why do you think it's still such a stigma when it comes to being mentally healthy? Well, hold on. In that case, what do you do? Because they want help. Oh, I sent them. Oh, you afford them. Wow. Why do you think it's still such a stigma when it comes to being mentally healthy? Well, hold on. In that case, what do you do? Because they want help. Oh, I send them. Oh, you send them. I send them. Well, you know, I mean, I'm legally allowed to do that. And you sentence people based upon what's going to do the best.

You know, if it's going to change him or if he's going to remove him from society, if that's what's best. But if what's best is for him to go and get matted up, county needs to go on and pay for it. But shouldn't it be something else other than jail? Maybe like the mental health institution? That's what I was trying to get together. Okay.

But there isn't. There aren't any. There's no place else to send them. They were all closed. So I tried to get a first responder and I tried. There was a hospital that I was trying to get convert all that kind of stuff. But don't nobody want to spend money. So, you know, that you do what you have with the resources that you got.

Why do you think it's still such a stigma when it comes to being mentally healthy? Because because what the illness manifests itself in behavior. And we still have this belief that you can control your behavior. And so you're irritating to other people. If I have cancer, it doesn't irritate you. My hair is falling out, this belief that you can control your behavior. And so you're irritating to other people. If I have cancer, it doesn't irritate you. My hair is falling out, this and that. But if I'm bipolar and I'm blah, blah, blah, blah, blah at you, then that irritates you. And you don't see why I can't control my behavior.

So that's what that is. Do you get a lot of people that come in the courtroom that don't know that they're mentally ill? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And how do you handle those situations? I have people I know't know that they're mentally ill? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And how do you handle those situations? I have to people I know don't know they're mentally ill. You know, my friends, family. I'm going to put everybody on some medication.

You know what I'm saying? You know, it's just. But no, they don't. They believe that. And women will believe that they're mentally ill before men will because they have more of a, I'm not doing what society wants feeling. And then someone suggests, well, you're mentally ill, you're hysterical, this, that, and the other, and they won't believe it. The gentlemen that I used to see that didn't believe it were just so strongly convicted about how they felt.

They believed that was the truth. You know, that Jesus complex and all that. Women don't get that, but dudes do. But I think it's a mixture of that societal, you know, males are logic, that hormonal testosterone makes you a believer. Because I remember as all my sons went through that, how they became believers in themselves. And, you know,

my daddy was the best man in the world, my husband, I got six sons, but it manifests itself differently. Yeah, I think anxiety especially, because, you know, you're not supposed to be scared if you're a man. No, not at all. Not at all. And I am, yeah, and I am,

you're shook one, and I love that because I have massive amounts of anxiety. I have passed that along to my children. And I do well on anxiety. Well, I don't do well on anxiety. But I got a man who handles my anxiety. And it's different for my son because he's not supposed to be afraid. It's okay if I'm scared and want to hold your hand on a plane.

He can't do that because he's a dude. You know what I mean? Yeah. So how do you deal with it? How do I deal with what? My anxiety. Oh, it depends on what I'm doing. Like when I was on the bench putting people in jail, my husband used to call me the night stalker

because I was up all night walking the halls wondering about whether I did the right thing or not. And it was I used to have these recurring dreams about standing in front of a Venetian blind and people kept saying, move, move, move. I can't move. I can't move. I can't move. And the one day I did move. They opened up the blind and it was a young Adolf Hitler. Like I felt responsible for so much that I did. Then I start running on the treadmill. I started reading.

I kept a worry book. I would write down all the crap I worried about. And then at the end of the week, you read what you were worried about and you look stupid. Because what you were worried about was so. And it was like, look what. Look at this stupid stuff. And now I got a great husband who, you know, he knows the character of my crazy. So he's like, he used to get mad about it because it was uncomfortable.

There wasn't no fun. I got to write that down. Character of my crazy. But I go to him with, okay, baby, here's what I'm on. This is the road I'm on. Tell me what it is. Is there anything? It's a stupid road.

Cool. And I've been with the brother 30 years so i trust him because he's never been wrong yet so i can lay it on his lap and i said now if it becomes a problem or if this situation with this guy dude is a problem i'm telling you what's going on you let me know when i need to handle something and then i and then i let him carry that and for him it's light because he ain't crazy you said something that's very interesting just now. You said a lot of interesting things. But as a judge, do you do feel bad sometimes when you sentence people? Do you ever feel like you went too far?

I worry that I did the right thing. I'm often worried about, and especially with domestic violence, you put a dude in jail. My mother told me this. She came to watch me convict people and stuff. So this guy came in, he popped, you know, on his wife. And I gave him what one of my judge friends calls the acid rain dance. I tore him up, put him in jail. My mother afterwards put him back in the chamber.

She said, let me tell you what you did wrong. She said, now that man is in jail for six months thinking about that bitch he hit and that bitch that put him in jail. You made her life harder for her and you didn't help her at all. And I was like, oh, my God. So I changed. I started talking to domestic violence agencies about what should I do. You give them time, attention time. You pull them out.

You suspend the sentence. You make them go to counseling. And not just management, because that's not good. It has to be specifically batterer counseling. And then you keep the the the domestic violence people in association with her. So she has avenues because they need to know what to do. All right. We have more with Judge Lynn Toler from Divorce Court.

So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We have Judge Lynn Tola from Divorce Court in the building. I wanted to know, you know, when, of course, being a black judge

and you see so many people that look like yourself, does that sway how you feel or when you give somebody time or give somebody community service or anything like that? Because I feel like sometimes being that you're from the community, you would understand more than per se a white judge. Is there black privilege? I wrote this article called Losing 19

and I put it in an article like Black Men's Magazine where all the naked black women are. I put it in there and it was called Losing 19. I said I lost 19 today, again today because he went off into the system. And I talk longer to the brothers and I and I talk about you owe me. I said, you know, they would say I can jail. It's no big deal.

It's six months, you know, no big deal. And I would say, but every time you jail, we jail too because we don't have access to you. So I did have, and then I started programs, like a program for the males and the program for the women at 14 and 15 because that's when the branch happened. Because I lived in like a suburban community that was edged by the city. So there was a choice to be made. Do i do what mama tells me to do or do i join the party down the street so i figured i was in a unique position to alter that trajectory was not true but but i but i tried is it true that you had two nervous breakdowns by the time you were 12 no one nervous breakdown at 9 1 at 16 how do you know you're having a nervous breakdown at 9 and 16?

I was in school and started screaming, and they couldn't stop me. So they had to get somebody to come and get me and take me home, took me to a psychologist, and I'm in the psychologist's office kicking the table the whole time, just kicking the table. And the psychologist was a friend of my father's, and mom said, you know, well, what's wrong with her? And he goes, I know what's wrong with her. It's all that shit you got going on at the house. Because daddy was like, if you didn't, I remember one time mom didn't put all the shades down equidistantly around the house.

He called her all day long, every five minutes for 12 hours to tell her about it. All day long. And I said, mom, why do you keep answering the phone? And this is in the 60s. every five minutes for 12 hours to tell her about it all day long. And I said, Mom, why do you keep answering the phone? And this is in the 60s. He said, because as long as I'm answering the phone, I know he's not on his way home. And I got to keep him where he is.

So I let him call. I let him, you know, I let him do his thing. And I hang up the phone and I stay with my day. Oh, but, you know, woke up one morning. Mama was coming out of the doghouse in the back. And I Oh, but you know, woke up one morning mama was coming out of the dog house in the back. And I said, what you doing in a dog house? She goes, it was cold out. She was running from it.

What did your pops do? He was an attorney. He was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. He was a coal miner in West Virginia. He'd go two weeks in the coal mine, two weeks at college, two weeks in the coal mine, two weeks at college. Two weeks in the coal mine, two weeks in college. Graduated law school in 1947.

I mean, he was a badass. I mean, just a complete badass. Loved his family. God made him crazy. It wasn't his decision. Was there something that pushed him to that, or it was just a mental thing from the beginning? Yeah, I mean, him and all of his brothers were crazy.

His mother was crazy. I don't like her throwing the word crazy around. I understand what you're saying, but I know people who watch this. I think he's the most extraordinary man I ever met. You know, for two years when I thought about him, I would just blow up into tears. But

all of his brothers, the lowest IQ they had was 150, and that was him. He was the dumb one. Because his mother had gone, he was born in 1990. His mother graduated college. Wow. A sister.

You know what I mean? All of them were that bad. They were all just, they had all that anxiousness, but that allowed him to become, you know, he was 5'2", you know, went to war, all of that kind of stuff. They built their own bunch of brothers, got together, couldn't go into a good neighborhood. They built their own community, got a white guy to front it, got bought a bunch of land, and then they parceled it out amongst. So I was raised with just doctors and lawyers and architects in my neighborhood.

I mean, a genuine badass. But he was mentally ill. Part of it helped him to be as strong as he was because he wasn't scared of nobody ever. And the other part made him one of the most impressive attorneys. I remember 15 years after he died, I went back to Ohio. I was keeping up my law degree. And everybody said, introduce yourself. And so I said, I'm Lynn Toler. I was keeping up my law degree. And I said, everybody said, introduce yourself. And so I said, I'm Lynn Toler.

I'm just keeping my law degree together. And some old white dude, he said, are you in any relationship to Bill Toler? And I said, I'm his daughter. He said he was one of the most highly respected, intelligent. I mean, he just went on and on and on. Attorneys I have ever met in my life. And he was practicing in the 40s, you know, had his own firm because the white boys wouldn't let him in. Judges I run into. Oh, my God. He was just that good. I mean, he was badass.

How does that affect you with men now? Because you said, you know, he seen you kick your mom out the house and call them with the blinds. Did that sway you anyway? It swayed me completely. I married a six foot one bottle of Valium. My husband, I don't care what you do. You can't rattle him. You can't make him raise his voice. You can't upset him. He's just cool. I mean, I can do the most bizarre stuff, and he'll just kind of look at me. But he won't do nothing. And he's just so, you can count on him. He could hold me by the ankle over a cliff, and I wouldn't worry because he's that brother. You know what I mean?

My wife does that for me. Yeah, she does that for Cliff. Got to have it. Shut up. Got to have it. I'm the maniac, and she's the always calm. And you got to have that because you got two maniacs in the room and it won't work out. One time I was going through a thing and I called him up in the middle of the day.

He wasn't working. And I said, babe, things ain't right here. And he came home and stood there. Insane. He didn't know what to say. And I'm talking and I'm telling and i'm crying and this and that and he stayed until i said okay i'm fine he said if you need me again i'll come back that brother that's dope yeah because you you've had your bouts with mental illness right yeah

i heard anxiety and depression yeah my husband and i went to marriage counseling once because we weren't getting along and then they made us take tests and a test he called me the day he got the test rebut back he says you know uh your tests show that you are severely and deeply depressed i want you in the office today because we need to get you on some medication because i'm afraid of what you'll do really yeah so you you because a lot of people are scared of medication so you had no problem i do it when i need it when when I needed it, I took it because I know the difference between nobody can tell

when I'm on my medication and not because I learned to do my crazy so well. My husband knows and my mother knew. But when I need it, I go on it because if I go into that depression, ain't nothing happening. They always say depression is the point of no return.

Yeah. Just twice. Just twice. Just twice. And what happened? I was standing at the window looking at the pool and it was raining and I called my

actually I called a number of people and God was looking out for me because they didn't answer the phone. People I called a number of people. And God was looking out for me because they didn't answer the phone. People I shouldn't have been calling. And then I called my psychiatrist who I have on speed dial. And I said, it's not looking good today. And she goes, call your husband, get him home, get him on the line with me. And he stayed with me.

And then that went in, you know. How long ago was that 10 years ago maybe yeah what gets you to that point though we for me it's not circumstantial it has nothing to do with the circumstances it's where my serotonin is at that point in time that's what that is that's all it is. You said one time. What was the other time? I was young. I was in high school. And to me, everything had just spun out of control. I was cussing out teachers. And, you know, and everybody was like, you know, and I'm like, I don't want to do it. You know, I don't want to do it anymore. I don't want to do it anymore.

I don't have to be here if I don't want to. I did everything you told me to do. I got into Harvard. I did all of that. And it's still horrible. You know, you guys were wrong. You guys were wrong about all of it. You know, that kind of thing.

All right, now keep it locked. We got more with the judge. Judge Lynn Toler. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. C-J-N-V-A-N-G-E. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We have Judge Lynn Toler from Divorce Court in the building. Charlamagne, how'd you get out of your depression? Or do you get out of it? Are you still going in and out? I know how to ride it out. I know how long it should take. I know how long, if it takes too long, I know to go in. I got a guy, you know, Chris.

I love you, Chris. And I go in and he, you know, we deal with it. You know, if I need a little medication, I will take it. So, but I've been doing really well these last few years. Really, really well. The anxiety is. In your book, you talk about emotional genius. Yeah, that was my mother was an emotional genius.

She was a woman who tolerated everything. You know, it's brilliant to me to keep answering that telephone, not let it upset her day. And she was able to manage him in a way that allowed him to be extraordinarily successful and also manage her children. My sister, I'm the family failure. My sister was a neural is a neurologist. Oh, you know, board certified brain doc. I was supposed to be too. Got to college, couldn't do the math. Had to find something else to do. Law school was the only thing my parents would accept.

She was able to do all of that and not allow us to hate him. Because he was very, you know, gun went off. Mom comes in the room, she grabs us in the bed, and we wait to see if he's going to finish it. I mean, that's how it was. Who was he shooting at, himself? Her. Oh, thanks.

And so we're in the bed waiting. Is he finished or is he coming? Wow. And she was able, she never got mad. She would get depressed sometimes, but she was able to manage him and she taught me how to manage other people. It's all about

the listening. It's all about understanding how other people feel. And you manage your emotions so you can understand their emotions and then you manage their emotions, then they do what you want them to do. Compassion. No. Empathy.

No. Understanding. Different. What do you think the difference is? The difference is I don't need to feel for you. I just need to understand why you feel the way you do. Do you see what I'm saying? I need to understand how Adolf Hitler felt. I don't have to share his feeling. I don't have to share his feeling.

I don't have to be empathetic. But I have to understand what he's feeling in a manner that allows me to understand what he's doing. Maybe that's what your husband does for you. Your husband understands why you're having your moods or your reactions to things. What I think happened in the beginning, I was cute enough that he didn't mind. You know what I mean? You take a little crazy if a woman looks good. And as the years went on,

and things started to settle and move, he began to like me as a person. You know what I mean? And then, and I'm a sister who will address his, I adjust my crazy for him. You know, I know what gets on his nerves. And I know what, and I know what not to do.

And I say, you know, baby, I'm on one today. And okay, okay. You know, we're going to deal with it. But I adjust, he adjusts. And, you know, then 30 years later. Have you ever threatened him with your crazy? Like, you know, I'll kill you. Don't play with me.

Oh, no. Oh, no. One time I thought he was going to kill me, though. Why? Because I'm crazy. Uh, I shouldn't say that. You keep saying that word. I know, and I'm going to need to leave that. No, I'm not going to. We got to stop calling people crazy. We're not crazy. No.

And to me, crazy doesn't have a bad connotation. Me neither. So that's why I say it. But I need to realize my audience. Because I was just, we had not been married very long. I don't know why we hold hands, but I love it. I don't know. He might kill you now.

Right? He's holding his hand. He'll kill you now. He kept asking me where I was. And for some reason in my head, I kept, I was severely depressed at the time. For some reason, I said, why do you want to know exactly where I am? Why do you want to know exactly where I am? Why do you want to know exactly where I am? You know, are you

trying to send somebody to kill me? It didn't make any sense. But I was there. And he was like, what is wrong with you? Well, that's the anxiety, though. It was irrational feeling. You get on a thought, you chase it down to the end, and it was like, you know, the marriage wasn't going well

at the time, because you know how it is. I had four stepchildren, the whole schmagella. And I just, I got on a thought, took me all the way west of rational. I felt like that when my wife put out a million-dollar insurance policy on me. Right. I felt the same way. It don't make no sense now, but it made sense at the time. And what's the craziest, or I don't want to say craziest,

what's the strangest thing that happened in your courtroom when you had to kick somebody out of court? In my real-life courtroom or TV court? TV court. Wait a minute, it's not the same? I'm serious. I can't put nobody in jail in TV court. Okay.

I can put you in contempt and all that. All I can do is kick you out. We had one cat come in there who came on the show to get back in town where his wife was with the baby. And he tried to steal the baby off the set. And we had to call LAPD to get him. And he wasn't trying to steal the baby. Well, right after he got through with the case, he went and we had professional babysitters. And he said he threw a piece of paper at her.

She says, I got a court order to take my baby. And her job is I can't give the baby to anybody who didn't give it to me. And he chased her into the bathroom. You know, then the producers went in. The security went in. And then ultimately had to get LAPD to get him out. Really? You know, he had a warrant.

So off he went. Wow. You know, when I read your story, it makes me wonder sometimes, is mental illness possibly a learned behavior? Because you said you started mimicking some of the ways of your father. No, no. To me, it's a chemical imbalance. The things that I know, it's a chemical imbalance.

What you learn to do is you learn how to handle it in a way that allows you to conduct your business in a manner that allows you to live your life. It's a chemical thing because it's too much genetics. Because I've done the pattern, I've done the history. And it all came through. He has stepbrothers that were his fathers and some other women. None of them have it. So it came through my grandmother, Mally. what did it do to your mother's psyche how is she

she's the strongest woman i ever met in my life i mean she was extraordinary she loved him she she took care of him she would figure out she used to buy like when he would like his his uh vision glasses she would buy them 20 at a time because he could never find them and it would make them crazy and they all looked alike.

So she would just put them back so he wouldn't know they weren't gone. She learned how to do those things. But that kind of like keeps you on the hot seat all the time, though, right? Oh, yeah. You're always under the gun. She's always under the gun.

She was always under the gun and we always knew where he was vis-a-vis the windows so everybody escaped we were to meet up by the garage she had a person thing in the back of the garage then we would go it's back days but they had drive-in movies we go to the drive-in movie when the drive-in movie was over we'd go around the house she'd put me on her shoulders because i'd like five. And I'd look in. If he was asleep in the bed, we could go in. If he wasn't asleep, we had to find someplace else to go. That's wow. This is why being aware of people's mental health issues is so important.

Right. And he was a good man. And I got it. I want to say he was. I mean, he paid for Harvard, Dartmouth, Penn Law School and medical Medical School through his working capital. Checks. I don't know how much it cost. My sister don't know how much it cost.

You know, he was that bad. And anything we wanted, he got it for us. We appreciate you for joining us. Yeah, and Divorce Court is back for its 20th season. Yeah, 20th season.

The Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Nikki versus Cardi. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report.

Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, people were waiting to hear what Nicki Minaj was going to say on Queen Radio yesterday after her altercation with Cardi B during New York Fashion Week. And I have to say, I hate that we even had to sit here and discuss this and report on this. I didn't hear it. It's what's happening. I'm looking forward to the update. What'd I miss? All right. Well, first, Nicki Minaj was talking about how humiliated she was from the events

that happened at New York Fashion Week. The other night, I was a part of something so mortifying and so humiliating to go through in front of a bunch of upper echelon and it's not about white or black the way they passed by looking at this disgusting commotion i will never forget i was mortified how we made ourselves look so let me just go on record having said i would never talk about anyone's child or parenting. That's clown s***. Made yourselves look the who. When you say upper echelon, you do mean them cokehead,

sexual deviant Caucasians that were at this function. Because I'm sure it was more Caucasians than black people. Well, it's New York fashion week. It's New York fashion week. It's a diverse group of people. It's mostly white people. But I don't like the upper echelon. Like, who cares? And that's why she had to preface it by saying not black or white. You know exactly. Why do y'all care mostly white people. But I don't like the upper echelon. Like, who cares? And that's why she had

to preface it by saying not black or white. You know exactly. Why do y'all care about white people It's mostly white people at those fashion events, Yee.

I mean, I don't know. I wasn't at this particular event, so I can't say. Because there's a lot of black designers that have events, too, during New York Fashion Week.

If that was the BET Awards or BET Hip Hop Awards, she would have never said anything about upper echelon people. There were a lot of upper echelon people at the BET Awards. Alright, now, she also

played some old video, audio, really, of Cardi from Fader, talking about how nothing's off limits. Nothing is off limits. I hate when some people come at me and it's like, oh, Cardi, why you coming at people's kids for... But I'm my mother's kid. Like, the same way

your kid is your baby, I'm my mother's baby. You know, if my mom was to be scrolling down and she see people talk about me, that will hurt her feelings. That will make her cry. You're making my mother cry. That's very contradictory of Cardi, but you know, two things can be true. Cardi said nothing is off limits and she's right, especially in this era. But guess what? If you're going to pop off about people's kids and people's parents and skills, then you have to deal with the consequences of those off limit words. All right. Well, let's move on with what else Nicki Minaj did. And she did a lot of research. She is a radio personality. Nicki did a lot of research. I ain't mad at her for doing all this research now. Now, if you guys remember, there was everyone keeps bringing up this old these old tweets where Nicki Minaj talked about somebody's child dying. Your son died.

No, Cardi. Oh, yeah, Cardi. Cardi was tweeting somebody about their child dying. Your son died. And it wasn't a very nice tweet that she sent out at the time. Well, Nicki Minaj spoke to the woman who Cardi B was talking to. And here's what happened on this phone call. Well, the tweet Cardi sent to that girl was foul. Yeah, and I would hope she regrets that now. Yeah, and if that girl ran up on Cardi over that,

then Cardi got a hold of that because those are her words, the same way Cardi ran up on Nicki. All right, now Nicki Minaj also accused Cardi B of payola. You knew that when that footage came out, you was about to look f***ing dumb. So they hurried up and put out a statement and you know what? I'm such an ill-ass b***h.

I didn't even feel the need to defend myself. But we did hear this woman who accused me of saying something about her child just say that nothing's off limits, even talking about people's kids. Because she has built her career off of sympathy and payola. I just want to say the payola rumor is your fault.

You and Envy. You too. This is your fault that people really believe this because you guys keep making jokes about how you get paid and people really think it's true. And this is your fault. It's this guy over here. It's not me. Listen, I'm sorry if my check's clear from Atlanta.

Stop it, man. Stop it. Don't play, because people really believe it. And Cardi said something right. If that was the case, there'd be a zillion and one artists popping. Cardi had great music. That's why she popped off. Why ain't nobody pay us to play Cheap Ass Weave four years ago?

She didn't have no deal back then when we played Cheap Ass Weave, and everybody thought I was trolling when I played the song on the radio. I thought they paid you for that. Let's just remember, though, when she did put out her first mixtape, everybody was surprised at how good it was. And I would also like to say that the DJ that she was fake smashing, which was DJ Self, which was that fake loving hip hop

storyline, he wouldn't even play her records. He did not play her records. So the one DJ she was fake smashing wasn't even playing her records. Not at all. So you're trying to say it wasn't good? No, I'm just saying self don't know talent. Self don't know. Stop it. Stop it.

But here's where things got more passionate and here's where Nicki Minaj really starts to I guess dig in even more. Now you want to talk about stopping bags but it's two innocent girls in a strip club right now that ain't did nothing but go to the strip club and get money.

Now they can't get no money. So who's stopping bags? Because you got grown ass men showing up to where the they at and where they work at. They can't feed their kids. They can't feed their family because you mad at what another man sticking his inside up. And that's the problem with so many black women and women, period. Oh, because she's not black. She refers to you black women.

Oh, we got the receipts for that, too. FYI, she refers to black women as monkeys and roaches. Now, that's a lot to unpack. That's a lot to unpack. That's a lot. That's what my therapist says. Now, I don't know what's true and what's not true. But that's snitching.

That's not like a statement. Like, you can't just accuse somebody of ordering a hit on someone in a script club. We saw the story on the blogs, but they said allegedly. This is a war. She's just straight up saying, like, no, you hired some guys to go beat up a girl. But this is war. But this is war.

You might as well just go point her out of a lineup, Nicky. This is war. Go sign the statement. Go sign the affidavit. Nothing is off limit, as you can see right now. This is war. I don't know what's going on here. All right, we're going to have some more in the rumor report,

and I'm sure you guys want to weigh in as well. Cease fire. No, this is a war. I just want to say, I'm glad that both Charlamagne and Envy were not up there at Queen Radio. Nicki using Monique tactics. She's weaponizing racism and colorism for her own personal agenda. This is a war, bro. Everything goes in this war right now, as we can see.

Listen. I don't want this to be a war. How you just going to accuse somebody or hire somebody to beat somebody up? That's snitching. What's up, man? We don't even know if that's true or not. You just incriminated this young woman. This is war.

You guys, rumor report is over. You do the show. We're going to be back in the next hour and discuss this some more. You get ready for donkey of the day, Charlamagne. Why do you look so hurt? You get ready for donkey of the day. You're grabbing your pearls. What's wrong with you? Things have changed so muchlamagne. Why do you look so hurt? You get ready for donkey of the day. You're grabbing your... You're grabbing your... Clutching your pearls. What's wrong with you?

Things have changed so much in this generation. Are you going to cry? You're just going to incriminate somebody like that? Hold on. Could you move on? Where's my shoe? I'm sorry. You better not throw that shoe.

See? Y'all joke too much. See? Everything's got to be in front of you. I don't have any security to hide behind. Where's my security? Matter of fact, call my security in here so I can hide behind before you start throwing shoes at me.

Well, who are you giving your donkey to, man? You look so upset. Oh, she threw a shoe at her player. I'm going to stand right here. Okay? See, y'all play too much. Exactly. That's why nobody take y'all serious.

And you don't know. People could get killed. Right. All right? Can I have my shoe back? See? You can't have your shoe back. You got to walk out barefoot.

These are nice. Aren't these nice? What kind of shoe is this? You threw a whole Gore-Tex at me? A whole Gore-? No, you can't have your shoe back. You got to walk out barefoot. These are nice. Aren't these nice? What kind of shoe is this? You threw a whole Gore-Tex at me? A whole Gore-Tex. I could kill you. He's a cute. That's a Gucci Gore-Tex?

You could have killed him. You could kill me with that. My God. Charlotte made your money long, though. Oh, four after the hour. Donkey of the Day is going to Ben's on. He's the mayor of Kenner, Louisiana. Oh, yes, please.

All right. Yes. We'll tell you that story when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day at Jungle Man. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day

is a little bit of a mixed one. So like a donkey. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, September 11th goes to the mayor of Kenner, Louisiana, Ben Zahn. Now, a day after Nike announced Colin Kaepernick is the face of the brand's 30th anniversary ad campaign, Ben Zahn, the mayor of Louisiana, issued a memo banning the purchase and use of any Nike

products at the city's booster clubs and recreation departments. Now, why would the mayor of Ken, Louisiana, do that? Well, clearly he's against what Colin Kaepernick is standing for. I'm not playing this game with people anymore. I'm not debating with you about what you think Colin Kaepernick is doing because what people think he is doing

is disrespecting the flag and veterans and the military. But no, that's not what this is about that's not what this has ever been about it's about the injustices that black and brown people face at the hands of crooked police officers police brutality nothing more nothing less and i'm not going back and forth with you bigots about it okay i honestly saw the memo uh banning nike products from ben zahn and i didn't think it was real but it's real. Let's go to WGNO ABC for the report, please. City of Kenner Councilman Gregory Carroll says he wants to meet with the mayor and other council members this week. This following the memo banning Nike product purchases for city booster clubs.

The memo is dated September 5th and is from Mayor Benz on to the director of the Parks and Rec Department. The memo demands the department no longer buy any Nike products or products with the Nike logo. We reached out to the mayor's office and they have no comment. Well, he has released a comment. He actually released a statement. I'm not going to read all of this, but he says his decision is only to protect taxpayer dollars from being used in a political campaign. He says taxpayers cover a wide spectrum of political philosophies and agendas. We must respect

all those agendas and philosophies. So when a company uses its advertising as its own political megaphone, government should be fair to all of its people and allow taxpayer dollars to be used to help that company and allow taxpayer dollars to be used to help that company push its own political agenda. See, the reason this is complete BS, right, is because I am almost positive you have taxpayers in Kenner

who support Colin Kaepernick and who are ecstatic that he has a deal with Nike. By banning Nike apparel purchases by Kenner Recreational Clubs, doesn't seem like you care about those taxpayers' political philosophies and agendas. Look, Ben, stop being a coward. If you are upset because Nike signed Colin because you don't agree with his brother taking a knee, then say that. Say you want him to stand up for the flag.

Don't be shook. Take a page out of your Celebrity and Chiefs book. Stand on your square and say you think Nike is whacked for signing Colin Kaepernick. I am sick of people disguising their prejudice with patriotism. And in this case, Ben Zahn acting like he's protecting taxpayer dollars from being used in a political campaign. What about the taxpayers who actually support Kaepernick? You don't care about them?

Why don't you care about them? What if they want their dollars to be used in a political campaign, okay? Huh? Ben Zahn, why don't you ban police brutality? Why don't you ban police officers from killing unarmed black and brown people? There's a lot of things you can ban, but I will never understand why you would ban Nike

because they are choosing to do business with someone who is actually doing the right thing. Please let Remy Ma give Ben Zahn the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother-----er. You dumb. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. And there are council members in that city

who are trying to get him to rescind that ban, so not everybody agrees and supports that either. Yeah, it just sounds weird to say you're trying to protect taxpayer dollars. What taxpayers? Because you're definitely excluding the taxpayers who support Nike and Colin Kaepernick. All right.

Well, now, when we come back, Russ will be joining us. People hate Russ for some reason, man. People dislike Russ. They told me that if you say F Russ three times, you'll gain 100,000 new followers on social media. Oh, now I hope these people are going to do that. That's what I heard. If you tweet F, you got to add them, though.

If you tweet F at Russ three times. Okay. I didn't realize he was so hated until y'all said that this morning. Oh, they hate his ass. And then a whole bunch of people started tweeting me reasons why they hate him. I had no idea. Well, we're going to talk to him when we come back. Keep it locked.

And I listened to his album, by the way. Album's all right. Album's dope. Why are you making that face? It wasn't good? He's not talented? No, he's talented. He's nice.

He gets busy. He produces his own stuff, too. He's nice. I'll tell him when he gets here. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

World's most dangerous morning show. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. Russ. Yeah.

Russ, what's happening, man? What's up, sir? Man. Listen, if you think for one second that I enjoy your music and I think you can rap, then you're absolutely right. Okay? Amazing. Thank you.

Wow. I was like, I was waiting for that to go left. Now, I enjoyed you a lot. Wow. Thank you. And I was wondering, like, why do people hate Russ? Yeah, it's like a multitude of reasons. You know what I mean?

It's not, actually, it's not even a multitude. It's, like like pretty targeted. But it started with because I was always big up in myself, super confident. A little cocky. As a person should, though. Right. So, you know, when I was coming up, I was, was and am, produced, mixed, master, engineer, write everything. And people started, you know, and I would say that all the time because, number one, self-sufficiency is a message that should be put out there to people instead of always having to, you know, outsource whatever. But then, number two, I'm proud of it.

You feel me? Like, so people started getting mad at that. But then it was my stance on drug abuse promotion via Instagram and Twitter to the kids. And people didn't like where I stood on that. Where do you stand? You don't like it? I just think that at the end of the day, depression, addiction, all these things are real things.

When you start making merch with lean bottles on your shirt and you're on your Instagram smiling next to Xanax and smiling next to Lean, I'm going to start to wonder, like, what's going on here? Yeah, you're normalizing it. You're making it cool. But then you'd be the first person saying rest in peace when somebody overdoses.

Right. Well, and it's like, but then you claim like, because here's my issue. It's like, okay, you're doing that. And I understand you're addicted or depressed. And that's not a joke. And I get it. You feel me? But when you're posting, when you're making merch of it,

and you're on Instagram smiling you're making merch of it, and you're on Instagram smiling next to the stuff, it's one of two things. You either know what you're doing and know you're poisoning the youth, right, and poisoning the kids that are looking up to you because your Instagram posts be reaching more people than your music does sometimes. So you know that you're poisoning the youth, one. Or two, you don't know that you're poisoning the youth, but you still are. So either way, you're on the wrong side of the fence.

So you don't talk about drug use. I've never talked about drug use in your music at all. Drug use? No. And I'm not talking about weed. I'm talking about... Yeah, do I drink sometimes? Yeah, of course.

But I'm not making merch with a Tangeray bottle on it at the same time. You feel me? It's like I'm not using it as a brand and as an image. So your peers don't like you because you're the person that comes in the party and calls them all drug addicts. Yeah, but at the same time, I'll be there. You're the fun killer. That's what they be trying to say. But it's like at the same time, I be in the studio like, yeah, I drink.

Yeah, we smoke occasionally, whatever, whatever. But it's like, yo, there's a line. Your full intent is not to promote it to the kids. You can't sit around. You can't turn around and tell me that you care about the kids. I feel like you're using that as a marketing tool.

And it's so big right now in high schools and colleges. Yeah. You know, my daughter's in high school, and she was telling me the conversation is so normal. Like, yeah, this weekend,

yeah, we're going to go have a party, yeah, there's going to be drugs there. And I was like, drugs? What do you mean? She was like, no. I was like, are you talking about weed and jewels?

She was like, no. I'm talking about cocaine. And she was like, it's such a normal conversation that kids are doing it, and that the out of me because you know at least i'm thank god my daughter tells me pretty much everything but yeah there's a lot of kids out there that follow rappers and follow artists and they're doing it because their favorite artist is doing it and they think it's cool and honestly bro that was my whole point when i first came out

on that end that was my whole point you know like i like, I don't know, I think it was September at Day and Night Festival, I wore a t-shirt that said, and this is what really started the whole, oh, F Russ, you know what I'm saying? You're making an addiction a joke. The shirt was, how much zans and leans do you have to do before you realize you're a f***ing loser? Now, a lot of people thought that that was

me calling addicts a loser. I was referring to the kids in the suburbs, the white kids, and I know because I went to school with them and I went to college with them, who be doing it because they hear it in a rap song. They have no reason to be doing it other than it's playing on at the parties and, oh, that sounds enticing.

Next thing you know, you're addicted. And yes, now you're addicted, which is not a joke and it's very serious, you feel me? But you got to look at step one. Why did you even try it in the first place? You feel me? Keep shaming these people, man. Shame works.

Because until you look at something and you're ashamed of it, you're not going to change it. Yeah. And you know, at the end of the day, like, you know, the culture that we live in right now in hip hop, like, I am going to be the bad guy

because I'm not what's going on right now. Period. Your story is a great story. So for people who don't know, don't know who russ is you're from jersey yeah you're italian yeah and you produce yes and write your own stuff everything yeah and uh for three years tell me about what you did for three years how you released your music because you did it on your own and yeah and i respect that thank you i started just

making beats when i was 14 i'm 25 now about to be 26 in a couple weeks. So it's 11 years of making beats. And around 2011 is when I started to make songs. And I put out my first, like, mixtape. And, you know, we're talking 2011. Like, Instagram came out in 2010, just to give perspective. It was not popping. You feel me? And Twitter was barely anything.

By 2014, I dropped 11 mixtapes that I produced all of them, wrote all of them, like, mixed everything. Because I don't know anyone. I got 500 followers, like mixed everything. Because I don't know anyone. I got 500 followers in a basement. Like, I don't know anyone. I got to figure it out. It didn't work. Still sitting there with 500 followers. So I was like, all right, let me switch up the approach.

It's not a matter of like, can I make enough music? It's a matter of how I'm putting it out. So I put out a song a week on SoundCloud for like two years. And it led up to my debut album. So technically you are a SoundCloud rapper. Oh, yeah. I was like, you know, I got a sound, I got a chain made of the SoundCloud thing with a crown on it.

The king of SoundCloud. Like, you're going to have to like, someone's going to have to come talk to me about it if you feel a way, because I do feel like that. You know what I'm saying? I feel like who else dropped a song every week for three years and ended up in arenas? So it was really just that easy. A song a week. That's not that easy.

I mean, that's not easy. It's not easy. I know, I know. It's not easy. That's not that easy. I mean, that's not easy. It's not easy. I know, I know. It's not easy. That's not that easy. It's not easy at all. But a song a week for three years, and then you become rushed. Yeah, because, you know, you got to understand, those 11 mixtapes were me on my driveway practicing jump shots.

Once I got to the SoundCloud, I was in my bag. And so then every song every week was ready to go. The next side that I knew was important was touring. And a lot of artists don't tour. And I encourage all upcoming artists to tour. Even if it's 50 people a night, you've got to understand that, you know, I started doing, I did 40 kids in a basement in Glasgow. I did, you know, 100 kids here, 200 kids in Houston.

But, like, I was touring every other month. Did you debate? Yeah, and I was headlining it, no openers, right? Then that multiplies. It started off 350 people at the Echo on Sunset in LA. Next tour, I do El Rey, which is 800. Next tour, two months later,

I do the Novo, 2,500. You know what I'm saying? Next show is next summer, I do two shows at the Shrine, which is $5,000 each. So you can see that it's a gradual, like, most artists are too prideful to even just turn down the $20,000 bag in the club to go maybe only make $5,000 at the Echo on Sunset. But that real fan base that buys tickets is what's going to keep you here for 10 years. So who took notice? Because I feel like we're skipping some steps. They say you're an industry plant.

So was it a label that came in? You know why they say that, though, is because, I always say it too, because the come up is actually unbelievable. So you don't believe it. That's like, that's it. All my stuff is documented. You can scroll down. You know, I do want to say one thing, because labels have been saying this for years.

No artist ever listens, but you listened. Labels encourage artists not to take the bags from the club. Tell them don't take the bags from the club because you build a fan base and you'll live longer. But most artists don't listen. Of course they don't because that's the quick money. I never was a club artist, though, so that wasn't even an option for me.

So my thing when I was making all these songs, you know, around 2015, managers are reaching out, Atlantic Records is reaching out, and I'm entertaining the conversation but like that's it like I'm a kid like in my basement with 700 followers like I'm not really like you know you didn't do a sneaky record deal like I'm gonna

sign to you but we're not gonna tell nobody you would know by now someone would have came out and said you know what I signed you know what I mean like it didn't happen so what I knew I wanted because I watched a bunch of breakfast clubs. Everything, bro. I watched.

We studied this stuff like stalkers. You feel me? In the basement. So I knew Kara Lewis was the one. Kara Lewis, the booking agent. I don't even know who that is. You don't know who Kara Lewis is? He's not.

He doesn't. He doesn't book our acts off. Still, like Eminem. Yay. Like, it's crazy. Okay. Anyway, I knew that from just studying the game. You know what I'm saying?

That's the thing that artists are not on. Like, y'all are idolizing getting a chain from this rapper who might sign you and shelve you. I was idolizing booking agents. Because I feel like that's what it was about. So when managers were reaching out, and my current manager, when he was reaching out, I was like, bro, I'm not talking to you until you get me Kara Lewis.

You want to manage me? Get me Kara Lewis. All right, we got more with Russ when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That's a real one in your reflection without a follow without a mention you really piping up on these you gotta be nice for what to these i understand

gotta hit the club like you hit them, hit them, hit them mangoes. It's a short life. You said you'd die for me. Give to me, give to me. Why won't you live for me? Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Russ in the building.

Does it bother you when people go at you so hard on social media? I've seen over the weekend, you know, they did one of those. It should have been you instead of Mac Miller. Oh, yeah. It was like crazy. Yeah, well, you know what they did one of those. It should have been you instead of Mac Miller. Oh, yeah. It was like crazy. Yeah, well, you know what? It does bother me. And I'm going to be done with this super soon because this whole, like, industry, it's not for me.

You know what I'm saying? I feel the same way. And that's why I call the album Zoo. This zoo that is fame and whatever is not a place for breeding healthy minds. It's nasty out here right now. It's disgusting. So it's like, I'm not into this.

You know anxiety is the number one disease? I'm sure it is. And so when people are saying, should have been you, it's like, cute. Y'all are people on Twitter making jokes about, you know, should have been you, whatever, whatever. But you know what's really screwed up is that y'all are the same people who will rob someone of their peace of mind while they're alive. But when they die, wish them to rest in peace. How are you going to wish that I rest in peace, but you don't want me to live in peace?

So y'all are fake. And RIP to Mac Miller because the fact that y'all went, he was dropping his album with Astroworld, and I remember every time I was dropping a song leading up to the weeks with Astroworld, everyone was like, keep it cheap, we're getting Astroworld tonight, even though they weren't. But it's like, y'all making all these jokes or whatever, and y'all were doing that to Mac Miller.

Yeah, when he dropped Swimmin'. Yeah. As Astroworld. As Astroworld. So now when he passes, now y'all want to come out to Woolworks and be like, man, it's like y'all people saying that stupid shit were the same ones who were contributing to, you know, a dysfunctional peace of mind possibly. And it's like, there needs to be a real discussion about Internet culture and how it affects

artists and celebrities. I'm the first generation of people who grew up on the Internet and having to use social media to gain prominence. So when you look at that, you got to understand that if social media can have a positive impact on your career, meaning blow you up, you can't ignore the fact that it can have a negative one this is one big high school bro and people on the internet need to recognize that a lot of them y'all are bullying kids into depression yeah like you can't act like you're absorbed from it because your your your fallback is we're just joking cool that's what everyone in high school says when the girl hangs herself

when it's a joke amongst the school it's one herself. When it's a joke amongst the school, it's one thing, right? When it's a joke amongst the whole world, like, and you're expecting it to not get through, put it like this, right? Everyone on the internet who be making jokes, y'all be letting three mean girls in your school throw y'all off. Absolutely. You feel me? So how do you think someone who has 100,000 comments or 20,000 comments of go die, you know what I'm saying? Like, I be getting death threats by the thousand on the day. I get them every day.

And you can't even reply. And I can't reply. We can, but when we do, it makes their life bad. Because people start attacking them. Right. You know what I mean? Right.

It's that or I'm the crazy artist who only replies to hate. You're supposed to be too big for that. Right. And it's like, yo, the reality is that people on the internet need to be real conscious

and responsible of what they're doing. But they're not. You know why? Because the voice of the hip-hop consumer on the internet is a 14-year-old kid who was five when Drake came out. You know what I'm saying? It's like...

It's always that hurt people hurt people. It's who you went to high school with. It's when I was 14 and 15 and you're making jokes. It's whatever. Like, you get caught giving top on camera in 2006, your school is going to know. But like people in Nebraska and Africa aren't going to know. Now it's like you're just like you're done. You feel me?

And so it's a screw getting bullied by 2,000 kids. Now you're getting bullied by 2 million people. And if you think that that doesn't have an effect and you think that my other thing with this is too is the consumer wants artists and celebrities to be normal right the problem is that you treat them as if they're supposed to be above feeling what the natural human would feel yeah so my thing is like okay pick a side of the fence it's almost like they want you to take all the that they say about you because you got money yeah because you are like that's supposed to be a blanket yeah and and like a a like a, you know, a vest. I got to be sensitive. I got to let stuff get to me. Otherwise, I can't give you all the real.

But at the same time, you're asking that person who you demand to be sensitive and relatable enough to to to relate to your human emotions. You're asking that person to have thick enough skin to not feel anything that is inspiring the music that you love. I don't understand it. It doesn't make any sense. I think society needs to really look at themselves and take responsibility for what they're doing to artists. You feel me? We're the first generation that's experiencing this stuff, bro. This is not regular.

Why did Lil Pump say me and J. Cole now, so f*** us? It's a trend, bro. I mean, that sentence is a trend. Like, f*** J. Cole was a trend. Do you know pump no i've never met pump i've never met so he just was really i've never met i've never met pump but that's what i'm saying bro these are 17 year old kids who like just post stuff on the internet like you gotta understand these are 14 to 18 year old little kids on the internet they're just they

don't know anything bro i don't know him saying that it's like you gotta take that up with you and yourself like what why are you saying that because I've never talked to you. I've never met you. That's why I said I don't kill them all. It's like, I've never talked to y'all. Y'all so obsessed with me, I've never even talked to y'all bitches. You know what I'm saying? How much of a weirdo do you have to be to call someone's name out that you've never

talked to or met in a negative fashion? I've never talked to y'all. I've never met y'all. I don't know anyone around y'all. All these rappers who just be saying F for us, whatever. That's what's up. When we see y'all in I've never met y'all. I don't know anyone around y'all. Like, all these rappers who just be saying, F Russ, whatever. That's what's up. When we see y'all in person, we're going to ask for clarification. And that mother****** knows what time it is. Him and his manager know what time it is.

We call y'all at festivals. Not him. We call y'all's people at festivals. That's your manager. You know what I'm saying? Like, y'all know what's up. We don't put up videos because I be minding my business. And I'm not going to be on the internet.

You will get sued, too, just in case. You know what? But the first rapper who sues someone for getting their ass beat, your career is done. That's not hip-hop. No, not in this era. Well, you know what? That's a shame. That's not in this era.

Nobody even cares. They'll be like, yeah, that's what they get for hitting him. That's it. You know what? That's a shame. But those people know what's up, bro. Like, at the end of the day, like, I'm not the tough guy online. I don't do none of that.

I leave that for the—that's why I also send them in Killemaw. I leave that for the WWE rappers, bro. I leave that for the rappers who, because they think they have face tats and tote guns that like, we're supposed to be scared of something like y'all are only scaring 14 year old white kids who don't know any better. Like y'all,

y'all are not scaring people who don't have face tats, who are felons. Like, what are you like? What are y'all talking about? Why did, why did the young rappers critique you like Young Band and Smoke Purpin' over there?

You know what? It's a trend. It's a trend to say that. And they need clicks. Put it like this, right? At this point in time, if you mention Russ in a negative fashion on Twitter, you're bound to get more retweets. You feel me? And so...

Let's try that theory. I was thinking about that too. Do it. Let me tweet out. I'm going to tweet out. F*** Russ. I'm going to tweet out. F*** Russ. Do it.

And then I'm going to tweet a picture with him later. Like, I just playing. I just want to see. Social experiment. I guarantee you. Top comment. What's your Twitter? At Russ Diamond.

D-I-E-M-O-N. Watch. What you going to see. Make sure to tell your Nigerians I'm playing now. This is a social experiment. Okay. Nah, but those. You know. Those two kids. Those kids. Those are clowns, bro. This is a social experiment. Okay? Nah, but those, you know,

those two kids, those kids, those are clowns, bro. Did you see them at any festivals? Yeah, we've caught one of them at a festival. That f***ing knows

what time it is, bro. Which one? Smoke Purple or Band? I'm going to tell you right now, if they respond, they know what time it is, bro. I'm putting it to you like this. We got video, too.

You know what I'm saying? Oh, so if they get slick at the mouth, you just put the video out? I'll leak the video. You get in your ass, B. So I suggest you try careful. You know what I'm saying? Oh, so if they get slick in the mouth, you just put the video on? I'll leak the video. You get in your ass, B. So I suggest you try carefully. You feel me?

Period. Like, period. Like, is that... Because I'm done. I'm done biting my tongue. I don't... Like, as much as people think that I talk... I talk about self-sufficiency and about how I do everything myself.

And you could do it, too. Yeah, but, like, I don't be talking about how much of a clown y'all really are. You feel me? And so, like... Can you tell us the story? What happened? You don't be talking about how much of a clown y'all really are, you feel me? And so, like, don't... Can you tell us the story? What happened? You don't have to tell us who it was. Don't get, I mean, I'm just like, don't get me, don't make me stoop down to y'all's level where I'm gonna play the internet game

too, and I'm gonna have you humiliated, you feel me? Like, don't do that. So you saw him at a festival, you ran down on him. Yeah, we, you know, it is what it is, bro. They know what time it is. That's all I'm gonna say. They know what time it is. They know what time it is. Like, the second... No, that's that Sicilian mob ball s***, B. Nah, they know what time it is. That's all I'm going to say. They know what time it is. They know what time it is. Like the second. Don't act like he's a drug dealer in 80s. No, that's not facility.

My boy. Nah, they know what time it is. They know what time it is, bro. They know what time it is. The second that stuff happened, a whole lot of F Russ stopped coming out from their profile. You feel me? They know what time it is. Zoom with the fish.

All right. There you have it. They know what time it is. Russ, new album out right now. Zoo. Zoo. It's the Breakfast Club. It's Russ. The Breakfast Club. It's Russ.

The Breakfast Club. My God. What? My God. All I hear is complaints. Complaints. Oh. Jesus Christ.

What's going on? It's gracious. My God. I can't stand all this complaining. All right. All right. All right. All right. Now, morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. Welcome back, Angela. Nobody gonna ask me who's complaining? Who's complaining?

No, because I know where you're gonna go. I'm your troublemaker. You're complaining about complaining. Let's play with them, Yee. Who's complaining? Revolt TV employees. Why are they complaining? Nobody's complaining, man. This guy's a jerk, man. They shouldn't complain. They only gotta work six months. Exactly, yes. Why would't complain. They only got to work six months. Exactly, yes. Why would you complain they're only working six months a year? I hate y'all, man. I hate y'all. Well, Yee's back.

And let's get to these rumors. Let's talk button. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, the new Revolt series State of the Culture debuted last night. And one thing that happened was Remy Ma brought up the fact that Joe Button has not responded to Eminem. Because you know Remy Ma will respond. Now here's what he had to say.

Eminem dropped a surprise album, Kamikaze, and threw shots at a few of his peers, including me. You guys heard that bulls**t, I'm sure. Not MGK. I'm talking about them and boys what's up Remy I'm some smells I smell smoke is that because he actually ditched you and you have yet to respond yet cuz you mad you scared to death you know he will flame you if you know what are you gonna say you're gonna say Remy is a dollar drop R Reminisce Martin is a jewel.

She does that all the time. Who needs to be protected at all costs. She does. I tell everybody this story. Remy did that to me with a club and a club promoter. You going to let him not pay you? Like you're a little sucker? Like you're a little girl?

Like Remy got me into a fight that day. I'm here for all Remy Mott commentary. How often does that show come on? Once a week. Once a week I'm here for all Remy Mott commentary. Remy's hilarious. I'm saying. What up, Remy?

And you know what's great is that she will do what she tells you to do. If she's telling you you don't need to do that, Remy's great. That means she'll do it herself. We don't need Remy

to do nothing else no more. The funny thing is, she did that to me with the club promoter and then she helped me fight. Remy's crazy. We don't need Remy Ma to do nothing else no more.

Remy has done enough. Who ain't pay you, Remy? Let Remy Ma live her existence. This was a long time ago we were in the club. Boy had blasted this promoter right now. Who ain't pay you, Ami? Let Remy Ma live her existence. This was a long time ago we were in the club. Go ahead. Blast this promoter right now. Who ain't pay you?

That was like 10 years ago. I don't remember. Let Remy Ma be the queen that she is. Thank you. All right. Yo! MTV Wrapped is going to be launching internationally. They're doing local versions of their franchise in the UK, Germany, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

So that should be pretty exciting. They said the UK version is going to debut on September 25th and then East Localized version is going to debut after that in 2019. I don't think we needed Yo! MTV Raps in 2018. And the reason I say that is because back in the day Yo! MTV Raps was a niche thing because rap wasn't as dominant as it is now. Rap is pop culture now. Yeah, but you got to think these are different.

This is not the United States. This is international. So I think that they would benefit from it. You don't think hip-hop is the dominant genre internationally? Yeah, but it's newer in other places than it is here. I think that would be dope. Yeah, like even when I was just enjoying it. So are there old episodes or new episodes? No, no, no.

They're going to do their own local ones. A whole new shelf. Oh. For their own local artists. That makes sense. Are you listening? No. That makes sense.

So you get to also discover some of the old and other things, as well as new artists, too, and regional emerging artists. And I think that's great to have that platform. That'd be dope. Yes. All right, Kanye West. Now let's talk about what happened when he was at Ralph Lauren's 50th anniversary party. And he did not like a question that one of the reporters asked him.

Here's what happened. No, she needs to be kicked out right now. Right now. Let me show you. Let me show you. No, she needs to be kicked out right now. Right now. Let me show you. Let me show you. We'll take care of it. Ralph Lauren would be very ashamed to ask that trash question. You have to go.

So he tried to get somebody kicked out because they asked him a question about Tyson Beckford. Remember, Tyson and Kim Kardashian were going back and forth on social media. And it's Ralph Lauren. So, you know, Tyson Beckford was a Ralph Lauren model, so it kind of makes sense that that affiliation would be there, but he tried to get them kicked out. I don't know if that person got kicked out. That's funny.

He said, Ralph Lauren would be very ashamed you asked that trash question. I got to hear the exact question before I come to a conclusion about this. How many times did they ask Charlamagne not to ask crazy questions during any of the powerhouse concerts? They'd be like, Charlamagne, don't ask anything crazy. We need the artist still to perform. And do I give a damn?

No. Kanye tried to flex. Getting kicked out. This time. Okay. And Tinashe is going to be on Dancing with the Stars season 27.

People were going crazy on social media about that. Kind of seems unfair because she's a great dancer. Yeah, that's what people were saying though. Why are you such an a-hole? No, I'm not.

That's usually they do that when they're a little older. That is not true. Dancing with the stars, we're having people on there that's popping and relevant now. Kim Kardashian did Dancing with the Stars. Wendy Williams. Kim Kardashian did Dancing with the Stars before. Remember when Wendy did it? Kim Kardashian did Dancing with the Stars.

She did it when she was like two years ago, three years ago, right? No. Kim. Yeah, Kim was popping in. Okay. That don't mean you washed because you want to dance with the stars. Right. I mean, some washed people be on it.

That don't mean Tinashe is necessarily washed. But she's a great dancer. She is. That's cheating. So I kind of feel like she has an unfair advantage. All right, after Mac Miller's apparent overdose, and that was really sad, by the the way when I heard about that. Bow Wow took to social media to talk about certain things.

Shut up Bow Wow. Just shut up. I don't even want to hear it. Let him talk. I don't even want to hear what he got to say. Go ahead Yee. He said to the youth stop with these dumb ass drugs. I'm going to let something out. When me and Omarion worked on Face Off album I was high off lean every day. When y'all saw me on BET going off on Tore I was high off lean. My attitude everything changed. My fans started to turn on me. off on tour, I was high off lean. My attitude, everything changed.

My fans started to turn on me, my family too. I never promoted lean in my songs. The whole time I was on the UCP tour with Chris, I was sipping fours at least seven times a day. I was addicted until our show in Cincinnati. I came off stage and passed out, woke up in the hospital. I was having withdrawal. I never felt a pain like that ever.

It was summer, but I was walking around with three hoodies on because I was so cold. I missed the Chicago show of that tour, Baltimore show, because I was effing high and sick. That ish not cool, and I was doing it to be cool. Kick that ish. Be a good son or daughter. He goes on and on to talk about it. What about your behavior now, though, Bow Wow? Like, what's causing you to fake want to kill yourself every few weeks on social media?

But he did say drug-free is the way to be. There you go. He said, smarten up, tighten up out here. We can't lose no more of you, not one. I love all of you, all the young artists, all the kids around the world. Don't follow a trend. There you go. He said, smarten up, tighten up out here. We can't lose no more if you're not one. I love all of y'all, the young artists, all the kids around the world. Don't follow a trend.

Break the cycle. Let's bring back the Just Say No campaign. That was a great campaign. It was. Just Say No? Well, let's start it again. That was hard.

Bring it back for opioids and heroin. Is lean considered an opioid? Heroin, lean, opioids. Is heroin considered an opioid? All of those things that's been going on. All that stuff

y'all using now. Prescription drugs, illegal drugs, Molly's, which on Insecure, Molly's definitely look like a don't do this. So who doing crack?

Crack is? Some people. Where they selling that at now? What, you want some? No, I'm just saying. I don't know. I wouldn't know

where they sell the crack at. I don't know where they crack. I haven't been in around any crack hands. I don't know crack dealers no more. No. Thank God.

All right. Well, I'll put out a tweet for you, see if we can find you something. That's okay. I know who's selling the pills. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. Somebody in here? Who you pointing them at? Goodness gracious.

All right, Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine.
