Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:00:16 What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. We need help!

It's Tuesday. Yes, it's Tuesday. It absolutely positively is Tuesday. How's everybody feeling out there this morning?
Starting point is 00:02:37 The weather is brick in New York City right now. If you live in a tri-state, it's cold. It's a cold one this morning. It's cold in a lot of places. You know, I was in New Orleans. It was freezing when I was out there. Really? I'm not used to that. It's cold. It's a cold one this morning. It's cold in a lot of places. When I was in New Orleans, it was freezing when I was out there. Really? I'm not used to that. It's still winter, guys. I mean, come on.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Did the groundhog see his shadow or not? That's something that got lost last week. Nobody paid attention to it. Well, they said it's going to be six more weeks of winter. So I guess he's seen his shadow. He's supposed to snow here this week. I think it's going to be... That means he ran back inside. I actually, on Groundhog Day, had a chance to see
Starting point is 00:03:04 Jay Electronica perform, speaking of groundhogs. He poked his head out and came back out on tour. That is definitely one of the most irrelevant holidays right up there with Jay Holiday. Do you ever see groundhogs in real life? No. How do they taste? Why would you taste a groundhog? You can tell he's country.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Anybody ever tasted a groundhog? No. You can bet I haven't. No. Definitely haven't. You don't know what groundhog? You could tell he's country. Anybody ever tasted a groundhog? No. You can bet I haven't. No. No. Definitely haven't. You don't know what groundhog meat tastes like. Nah, I'll pass.
Starting point is 00:03:30 There's a lot of things. I'm not a tasting food type of person. Like, for some reason, I'm not going to taste alligator. I tried it. I'm not tasting frog legs. Alligator is great. Frog legs are great. Yeah, I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Have you tried horse's meat? I'm not eating rabbit. I'm not eating goat. What about horse? Oh, I love goat. You bugging. How you from Brooklyn and you be around all them Jamaicans and never had curry goat? I just don't. you tried horse? I'm not eating rabbit. I'm not eating goat. What about horse? Oh, I love goat. You bugging. I'm from Brooklyn and you be around all them Jamaicans that never had curry goat. I just don't.
Starting point is 00:03:48 What about horse? Horse is amazing. Any of y'all tried horse? No. Never had horse. I had horse. In Japan. They serve it in Japan.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Which part of it? I don't know. I didn't ask. What part of the horse is this? They just sell you the, you know what I'm not going to say. What if it's. They tell you to close your eyes and they try different things and then they tell you what it is.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Yeah, you're going to stop closing your eyes and letting people put strange meat in your mouth, all right? Last week it was Salt Bae. And then this week it's some guy in Japan putting horse meat in your mouth. Ooh, you ain't got no gag reflex, huh? My goodness. You ain't got no gag reflex if you're taking that horse meat in your mouth. Well, why are you biting your lip, man? How do you know I'm biting my lip?
Starting point is 00:04:20 I know you're biting your lip, man. You keep it up. We're going to reenact that Odell Beckerman and Eli Manning commercial real soon. You just keep it up. All right? Mr. Strange meat in your mouth. Keep it up. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:04:32 All right. Well, from the Chi, Jacob Lattimore will be joining us. Hey, he plays Emmett on the Chi. I like Jacob. I like his character on the Chi Emmett. I don't really like his character. I actually hate his character, but you know what I mean. He makes for good TV.
Starting point is 00:04:44 But he was also in Detroit. He was also in Black Nativity. He's a young child actor slash performer. Right, so we'll kick it with him in a little bit. But right now we have front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? We're going to talk about the Dow Jones dropping. A lot of people are nervous, but we'll tell you what the real deal is.
Starting point is 00:05:00 All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Now, let's talk about the Dow Jones and the stock market yesterday. Yes, everybody was panicking because the Dow plunged more than 1,800 points over two sessions on Friday and Monday. But experts are saying that doesn't mean you need to close down your 401k and sell everything off. Just hold tight. Now, one of the reasons that this happened is because stocks have been rising pretty much in a straight line since November of 2016. So at some point, they believe the stock market is long overdue for some type of pullback or a correction. It's kind of a cooling off period. And they said that's a good thing. It makes stocks cheaper and more attractive to investors. I guess that's a good time if you want to purchase right now.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Yeah, they say just act like it's a sale. So it's like you're just going to get a sale. The stock's a lot cheaper. You should definitely purchase if you can. So does our celebrity in chief, Dope45, get credit for the stocks dropping? Well, he's not addressing that. He only addresses when things are rising. And it's all because of him.
Starting point is 00:06:03 If you take the credit when things are good, you got to take the credit when things are bad, Mr. President. You got to keep that same energy, Dope45. Sounds right, but I think we know better, and we know what he really does. And also concerns that they are going to raise rates because the economy is so strong. Unemployment is historically low. There's more open jobs and people to fill them. So companies are paying workers more, and that means businesses will eventually have to raise prices.
Starting point is 00:06:27 That's inflation. Right. So basically inflation and also rising interest rates as well. Okay. Now let's talk about cancer a little bit, right? Oh, now this couple in Florida are now accused of convincing a 13-year-old boy. And they won't reveal the relationship, but they did say one of the people is the mom of this 13-year-old boy, of convincing him that he had brain cancer, terminal brain cancer, because they wanted to raise money for themselves.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Ginny Arovando Long and Robert Edward Long were taken into custody, and they are being charged with one count of child abuse, nine counts of fraud, because the 13-year-old, the woman's son, has spent the last eight months believing he's going to die from brain cancer. That's crazy. So they started a GoFundMe. They did a fundraiser selling T-shirts trying to support his battle with cancer. The 13-year-old was told he had seven brain tumors. The reason that they did not operate and have surgery
Starting point is 00:07:17 was because he would turn out to be a vegetable. So the mom opted out of the victim having surgery. So the young boy has been walking around thinking that he has cancer, but, quote, does not like to talk about it. Well, first of all, drop one of Clues' bombs for Florida. Staying consistent. You know what your Uncle Sharla always tells you, the craziest people in the world come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Second, that is a very, very, very foul thing to do, but that is a very creative way to raise some money. Telling your poor 13-year-old son that he's going to die from brain cancer. That is crazy. Very foul. But guess what? You've never heard that before. That's a first.
Starting point is 00:07:51 That is a very creative way to raise some money because that is a first. I have heard a lot of different ways to get money. Never heard that one. Imagine how that's going to affect that young boy for the rest of his life. And his parents are about to go to jail now. They should go to jail. And that's another reason I don't trust GoFundMes either. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:08:06 It's people like that who have made it bad for all the other GoFundMes. That's why nine times out of ten, if you send me a GoFundMe, I read it as go F yourself. Goodness gracious. Anything else you want to talk about this morning? Oh, no. That's your front page news. Goodness gracious. Get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:08:19 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night. Or maybe you just want to spread some positivity. All right? Phone lines are wide open. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night. Or maybe you just want to spread some positivity. Phone lines are wide open. 800-585. Or maybe you saw these Crocs that I posted on my Instagram page. $800 for some Crocs.
Starting point is 00:08:34 And they sold out in minutes at Barney's. Why would you spend $800 for Crocs? I don't know. And they're so ugly. Because they're made by Balenciaga. But since it's Fashion Week and they stamp a name brand on it and tell everybody that it's fly, everybody wants them now. I'll pass. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Deep thinkers. Get it off your chest. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Get it. Pick up the mother, mother phone and dial. This is your time to get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So you better have the same energy. Hello, who's this? Kim. I'm just happy to be living, have a job, making sure I have my kids. That's about it.
Starting point is 00:09:13 All right, we're happy for you. Now put a little happiness in your voice. Yeah, as zombies you sound, I respect it. It's early. All right, thank you. I'm happy to be up early. Be happy to be alive.. Be happy to be alive. She is happy to be alive.
Starting point is 00:09:28 It's just not reflective in her voice. Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning, guys. I just want to spread some energy, good energy to the world. We haven't heard from you in a long time, Sean. We thought you were locked up. No, I'm not locked up, DJ. Not every black man is locked up in jail.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Tell him, Sean. Tell him, Porta Potty Guy. I've been working hard. I've been listening to you guys. You know, I've just been giving you guys some time to, you know, bring it in 2018. And I just want to say shout out to everybody that's safe in 2018 and just keep doing positive things, man, in this negative world. None of us is safe, sir. Every day is a risk.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Every day is a gamble. All right? Yes, it is. That's so true, sir. Yes. Port of us are safe, sir. Every day is a risk. Every day is a gamble. All right? Yes, it is. That's so true, sir. Yes. Porta Potty Guy is out. All right, Porta Potty Guy. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:10:11 Yo, this is Mello from the A. Mello from the A. Get it off your chest. Man, I just want to get off my chest about the Martin Luther King and the rail commercial. Okay. You know, I just want to say,
Starting point is 00:10:21 for real, black people, we tripping. You know what I'm saying? We're around selling trucks without Martin Luther King's voice. You know what I mean? So say, for real, black people, we tripping. You know what I'm saying? Ram selling trucks without Martin Luther King's voice. You know what I mean? So I'm saying if they take the time as a corporation or as a company to use Martin Luther King's voice, I thought it was powerful, man. But they didn't have to.
Starting point is 00:10:37 I thought about that yesterday, too. I hope a lot of people actually went and listened to Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech in full from February 4th, 1968. I saw somebody actually took more of the speech and put it over the commercial to show how against capitalism that Martin Luther King Jr. was. So, you know, either way, man, I hope that people actually learn from that speech. Don't let the message of that speech get lost in a goddamn Ramtruck commercial. Yeah, we talked about that yesterday, how he was actually against these big corporations, and that's what that speech was about. So that was some of the issues that people had.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Get it off your chest. 805-85-1051. If you need to vent, hit us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. 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. Hello, who's this? What's up, Envy? Hey, Trav, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:11:35 Oh, Trav, we missed you. Hey. Hey, Trav. I missed you. Where were you at last week? Oh, I had to go to New Orleans for one day only, so I wasn't here on Friday. But thank you for noticing. What's up, Charlamagne?
Starting point is 00:11:46 What's up, Trav? How are you, sis? I'm doing good. I'm doing good. I'm calling to talk about, I'm mad at Tom Brady, man. Why? You want him to come back? No, no, I'm mad at the fact that he didn't shake my man Nick Foles' hand after the game,
Starting point is 00:11:59 and they're not talking about it the way that the media went in on Cam Newton when Cam Newton did it to Tom Brady. I wondered, because I did see the Patriots get off the field fast. I wondered, did they shake hands and stuff like that? Nothing gets past Trav. That's what I love. Yeah, Brady immediately ran off the field and didn't shake Nick Foles' hand. Like, immediately left off the field.
Starting point is 00:12:17 You got to give him a chance to come down. That was a very emotional. Still, you shake that man's hand, man. Emotional game. Well, I just remember when it happened with Cam Newton, the White Devils of America made sure that they put it all on Cam for not shaking Tom Brady's hand. They need to do the same thing to Tom Brady.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Let me give you an example, Trav. You know how sometimes you're at the bottom, right? And you hit it too hard, and then he gets upset and doesn't want to talk to you for a second. It's kind of like that. I don't know what you're talking about. How does it always come to this, Trav? Goodbye.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Why is it always about butts with you, Shelby? And why does Trav always hang up on us? I know, right? Goodbye. You know what else I'm mad about? What? I didn't realize that a lot of people were going to agree with Faison Love. But I'm not mad because, you know, Faison Love came up here yesterday
Starting point is 00:13:00 and said that he didn't find Dave Chappelle funny. And, you know, art is subjective, so everybody's entitled to their opinion. But I didn't realize people actually felt like that about Dave Chappelle. I didn't realize that either. I didn't know that either. That's something I've never heard, ever. But that's life. Christian. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Yeah, yeah. I met Angela Yee, man. What happened? What you mean? Why? I don't know what you was thinking when you posted some crocs on Instagram, man. That was disrespectful. Them high heel Crocs? I said, listen, this Fashion Week is sold out within hours on the website for pre-sale. It's not even available in person.
Starting point is 00:13:36 I just thought it was crazy that people were paying $850 for Crocs. It's a bunch of followers out here. I really thought that you really had the idea that you would buy this. Like, you're going to give these girls ideas that this is the really had the idea that you would buy this. You're going to give these girls ideas that this is the thing to buy. You wouldn't buy those. Hey, I thought it was funny. I wouldn't allow you to buy those. They already got the idea.
Starting point is 00:13:54 There's a bunch of group thinkers out here. You stamp a name brand on something. It's fashion week. Everybody runs and gets the new hot thing. Get it off your chest. 805-85-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. Hit us up at any time. Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, we are going to be talking about Charlie Walk, the judge from The Four and the head of Republic Records.
Starting point is 00:14:12 He's saying that he's being extorted, and we have the voicemail to play for you. Oh, boy. All that and more. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:14:24 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Hey, what's happening? Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Charlie Walk. Listen up. It's just in.
Starting point is 00:14:35 All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. So Charlie Walk, the head of Republic Records and formally on the floor as a judge.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Says he was being extorted before an ex-employee said that he sexually harassed and assaulted her. Now he also has voicemails, he says, that prove it. Now the voicemails are from Tom Gilligan, who was a general manager of MM Group Radio in Ohio for three years. And then he went on to own a series of stations, and he sent Charlie Walk some bizarre text messages and left these voicemails. Hey, Charlie, it's Tom Gilligan. I'll make a deal with you. You resign from the TV show from your company, and nobody will ever say anything.
Starting point is 00:15:22 By the way, none of this is going to come from me. So you can't sue me. And if you want to sue me, I have $269 million to go right headed with you. But I'm simply saying, as soon as I hand this off to me to your toast, your
Starting point is 00:15:39 family, the whole nine hours. This is by far the whitest thing I heard this week. Only a rich, white, privileged prick would think that he could just call someone up and leave a little early morning extortion on someone's voicemail. How do you do that? Okay, now, Page Six also saw the text messages
Starting point is 00:15:54 that he was sending to Charlie Walk, and those text messages say things like, the Me Too movement will be knocking on your door. Karma is tough. Charlie, you decided to take me, and it's just coming back at you. I want nothing else but to get you off the show, embarrassing your family name, ruin your career, take half of your roster because they wouldn't work for someone like you.
Starting point is 00:16:14 I'll make a deal with you. I was told that you stepped in front of me with Jon Bon Jovi, who is someone I know personally and have known since 1986. You fix that and I'll back off. We can either come to terms or not. I want nothing from you. You were just a prick and you've always been a prick just for the record and so on and so forth.
Starting point is 00:16:31 He actually sounds like an entitled extortionist. Like he feels like it's right to extort Charlie Walk. That sounds crazy. I will say this though, man. The other layer to this is weaponizing the Me Too movement. Like a lot of people know that it's no due process in the court of public opinion, and they know once these allegations come out,
Starting point is 00:16:47 then people are going to be stepping down from their jobs or getting fired, and now it's really becoming a witch hunt. Now, Charlie Walk says he hasn't spoken to Tom Gilligan in over 20 years and has had nothing to do with him, so why would this be happening right now? The DA's investigators are being asked to launch a probe into whether or not Gilligan made those threats and actually tried to follow through on them and whether these incidents are connected.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Now, in addition to that, Tom Gilligan told Page Six, yes, I was upset with Charlie. There was no doubt about it. But to be honest, I was drunk and my mother had passed and it was the anniversary of her death. It was a very bad time. And Charlie was just being Charlie for him to make these allegations against me is a total misrepresentation. It was a very bad time and Charlie was just being Charlie. For him to make these allegations against me is a total misrepresentation. It's a lie. He's just trying to get himself off the hook. He said it was just friends being idiots.
Starting point is 00:17:32 You called him. That ain't no idiot. You the one who tried to weaponize the Me Too movement to take your friend Charlie walk down, okay? Yep. This is why you really need due process in the court of public opinion because you got pricks out there who will try to weaponize the Me Too and Time's Up movement just to take people down.
Starting point is 00:17:48 That is the essence of the Salem wish hunts. All you gotta do is point them out and they get killed. Alright, Kim Kardashian made over $10 million and that's from her new fragrance line Kamoji Heart. She sold out of that in four days. $300,000
Starting point is 00:18:04 plus. They can't lose. Yes, of the fragrance and after that sold out of that in four days. $300,000 plus. They can't lose. Yes, of the fragrance and after that, sold out. Over $10 million. So that's amazing for her. That's crazy. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:18:12 She didn't do an advertising campaign like spent money. She just did a complete social media advertising campaign. I saw her send a lot of perfume to her friends
Starting point is 00:18:21 and her enemies. My question is, do the Kardashians look like they smell good? I mean, there's a lot of people obviously that look up to Kim Kardashian. Do they look like they smell good? They don't look like they smell bad.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah, they don't look like they smell bad, but I mean, smell good for you just to run out there and buy their fragrance? You just want to smell like a Kardashian? People look up to Kim Kardashian. They buy anything. Well, it was three new fragrances. She had Bay, Ride or Die, and BFF. Alright, I'm Angela Yee. What that Caitlyn smell like, though? Your rumor
Starting point is 00:18:51 reporter. You know what? When we come back, we got front page news. You know what? I'm going to mess with you. When we come back, we got front page news. We'll talk about the Dow Jones, the stock market. Are you nervous? Did you lose a lot of money?
Starting point is 00:19:10 We'll talk about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Shalameen Nagao. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Now, Yee. Yes. Let's get in some front page news. What's going on with the stock market? Well, the Dow fell more than 1,800 points over two sessions. That was on Friday and Monday. Good morning. Nayee. Yes. Let's get in some front page news. What's going on with the stock market? Well, the Dow fell more than 1,800 points over two sessions. That was on Friday and Monday. But that doesn't mean that you should get rid of your 401k and try to cash out and panic.
Starting point is 00:19:35 There's a lot of reasons why that has happened. One of those reasons is because the stock market has been rising steadily for over the past year and a half. So when that happens, usually that means that the stock market is long overdue for a pullback or even a correction. So because of that, it's a cooling off period, which makes stocks cheaper and it makes it a lot more attractive to investors as well.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Also, because of unemployment being historically low and because the economy is strong, companies are paying workers more to retain existing employees, but they have to raise prices on things to afford the payroll. So that means inflation, as you guys know. And other things like rising interest rates and the bond market as well
Starting point is 00:20:13 are reasons why the Dow has fallen so much. They're saying it's just like a sale. They're just saying, look at the stocks like a sale. So you should be able to purchase more. Stocks are cheap right now or cheaper. And this is the time when you should buy stocks. Is our celebrity in chief, Donald Trump, taking credit for the stock market dropping? He absolutely has not said anything about it. He should.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I mean, if you're going to take credit for when it rises, you should take credit for when it drops too, Dote 45. Well, I mean, what did you expect? All right. Now let's talk about this lottery story. Yes. So this woman who won a $560 million Powerball wants to remain anonymous. Now the problem is this. When she signed the back of the ticket, as you're instructed to do, she signed her name.
Starting point is 00:20:54 What she didn't know, because she didn't consult with a lawyer first, was that she should have had created a trust. So that could have been the face of the ticket. But now, because of the law, they can actually reveal who she is. The problem is that she wants to stay anonymous. Now, attorneys requested if she could have a trustee sign the ticket instead. With the commission present, they denied them because any alteration
Starting point is 00:21:16 of the ticket would make it invalid. So she wants to remain anonymous. I can't blame her because everybody knows when people win the lottery, all kinds of things happen. Family members, people that you owe money to, everybody. But the problem is... It's not even just that. It's people try to extort you, people try to kidnap people related to you,
Starting point is 00:21:32 robberies, murders, all kinds of things can come when people know you have an extra $560 million. Listen, my love, you have enough money to leave the planet if you want to at this point, okay? But maybe she doesn't want to. Listen, my love, you can leave the country, okay? If you don't remain anonymous, you can hide. You got enough money to hide. Yeah, she definitely can. But she probably don't want to live her life hiding. She just wants to still be around family and
Starting point is 00:21:54 friends and not everybody knows. Listen, my love, you got $560 million. I love us for real. Disappear. That's not it. But you know, the lottery's a business and they have to show people winning so people can still have hope that they can win. So they have to show a person. It's not like you just want to say to is a business, and they have to show people winning so people can still have hope that they can win. So they have to show a person. It's not like you just want to say this person.
Starting point is 00:22:08 No, they have to show somebody and be like, oh, that person won. I can win, too, you know? Yeah, and by the way, only rappers and athletes get $560 million and want to be seen. Okay, you get $560 million, you get that money, and this is a goddamn pair. Pew. All right. All right. Well, that's front page news. Now, when we come back from the Chi, actor, also R&B singer, Jacob Lattimore.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Yes, he plays Emmett on the Chi. Emmett is a deadbeat dad who loves sneakers. Yep. A lot. We'll kick it with him when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. The man can't keep his penis in his pants. Emmitt, you are such a goddamn deadbeat, Emmitt. Jacob Lattimore, welcome, son, from the shop. What's going on?
Starting point is 00:22:54 What's going on? Happy to be here. You know how you know you're playing a good role? When I'm disgusted when I see you in the lobby. I'm like, look at Emmitt, old nasty. That mean I'm doing my job. Season two on the way. Just in case people don't watch the show,
Starting point is 00:23:09 your character on The Chi is, you have, how many kids do you have on the show? We only see one right now, but supposedly I have two other kids. So yeah, my character name is Emmett. He's a young playboy, obsessed with his sneakers and Jordans. He's a young father.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Still living at home with his mama. Still living at home with his mama. Still living at home with his moms and just trying to mature as a young man, but now he's got to take care of a whole other being now. We're kind of seeing him making his mistakes and trying to be young, wild, and free, but got to make the sacrifices. Playboy is a strong
Starting point is 00:23:39 word because playboys can afford the women that they deal with. They can afford their kids. More like a gigolo then. An aspiring playboy. An aspiring playboy. work because playboys can afford the women that they deal with they can afford their kids an aspiring player yeah now you play a deadbeat father very well you have any experience in that department absolutely not absolutely not and i think that's i think that's why i just you know fell into it like that because i didn't want to be prepared for like you know the fatherhood role you know i mean i wanted i wanted people to see me fumbling with the baby. Like, I can't really, I really can't get him to stop crying on set.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Like, it's a real thing. You know what I mean? Like, as soon as his dad passes him off to me, like, before they say action, like, he's just going crazy. And I'm just like. So it's natural. Yeah, yeah. So I thought that was really authentic and dope. What was your relationship like with your own father?
Starting point is 00:24:24 My father's still in my life. My dad is Jacob Lattimore Sr. So he's back home in Milwaukee. I still reach out. We still kick it holidays all the time. And you're a singer. You started off, you signed to Job Records. Yeah, Job Records. I was over there with RCA for like
Starting point is 00:24:39 five years. What happened with that deal? I think it was just once the merger happened, I was reintroducing myself to a whole new label. And I think it's a story a lot of artists have. It just goes sour and it never really works out. And I was really young, too. So now I'm getting older.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I'm just independent now. I released an independent album called Connection about a year ago. And I had a recent sew showdown show in Atlanta. And I don't get to perform that much. So I always post it on my Instagram because I just thought it was so dope for fans to come out for me. And, you know, when you're doing a movie set, you're kind of hiding away from people all the time. So it's dope to just reach out to them and touch them. It was cool.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Let me ask you about your character a little bit more. As far as playing, as they said, a deadbeat dad. In researching this character and doing that, did you have any sympathy or at all like trying to understand why a young man would do the things that Emmett is doing in The Chi? I didn't really research it. I mean, I just, for me, I could only imagine how it feels to just, I just tried to imagine how I feel like if I had a child right now in my life, the way things are going, and just like how stressed I would feel. I wouldn't leave him at a park or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Yeah, I wouldn't leave him at a park or anything like that. I hope not. I don't know, you think that. That little baby that's crying in your arm now, you can give him back, but if it's yours, you're like, God damn. I would definitely be frustrated, but I wouldn't go to the extremes of leaving them at a park. But yeah, I just tried to just dive into the most frustrating emotion I could with the characters.
Starting point is 00:26:16 You're having single mom problems. Like, how am I supposed to go to work and watch my baby at the same time and find some childcare and somehow try to make some money and buy these Jordans I want to buy and still have women in my room. And it's dope to just be able to relate to people in that way. I pay attention to social media every time the show is on and just
Starting point is 00:26:35 they're really into it. People really yelling at me when I do Q&As with the cast. They're like, yo, you shouldn't have left that baby. I'm like, yo, I'm just acting. Just the character. Now, there's one scene you shouldn't have left that baby. I'm like, yo, I'm just acting. Just the character. Just the character. You know what I'm saying? Now, there's one scene
Starting point is 00:26:47 that I think really happened to you. What happened? What's that? You in the room smashing a chick and mama comes home. Now, your mama's
Starting point is 00:26:52 over there in the corner. Tell the truth. Has that ever happened? She ever walked in on you? She ain't never walked in on me. You lying! You lying!
Starting point is 00:27:01 No, she hasn't. She knocked on the door. She maybe knocked on the door. You know that. Get dressed. Get dressed. No, she hasn't. She hasn't. She knocked on the door. She maybe knocked on the door, you know. Hold on, hold on. Get dressed, get dressed, get dressed, get dressed. Get dressed, get dressed, get dressed.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Was she upset? Did she really, did your mom cook the woman breakfast for you? She wasn't upset. She was just like, be careful and, you know. Mama, come to this mic for a second. Because Mama, you know he young. Come to this mic, Mama. He young and he getting this money.
Starting point is 00:27:21 You got to keep these little hot girls away from him. And FYI, I'm sure you got to keep the guys away from your mom also. Yeah, they be trying to get at him. Mommy got a ring on my... They be trying to get at him. I'm not married. Mama just shot her a shot. Mama letting her be known.
Starting point is 00:27:37 Mama letting her be known. So, Mama, you got to check him some time about these girls. I just tell him to be extremely careful. Keep it wrapped up. Be wise in the DMs and all. You know, just tell them to be very extremely careful, especially nowadays. Absolutely. Especially with the Me Too movement.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Yeah. I respect that. You can't really touch nobody. You know what I mean? That's real. Definitely. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to say, you can't really touch nobody.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Don't even do it. Yeah, yeah. Do you know any Emmets in your life that you learned from? Actually, no, I don't. I don't. I mean, as far as, like, being young and loving shoes and relating to that aspect, yeah. But, like, I know a couple young fathers. And I guess I haven't really spent that much time around them just to really see that like their frustration and like um you know their experience with you know just dealing
Starting point is 00:28:29 with I just kind of look at it from the outside in and just could only imagine you know what that what that lifestyle is like you know um but I have ran into some people like yeah I really sell shoes like I sell shoes I clean them up and you know I'm saying and and resell them and I was like oh that's like a lot of money like that that's'm saying, and resell them. And I was like, oh, that's crazy. Make a lot of money like that. Absolutely. And that's why I took on this role because I just like, I looked at my acting career and I was like, what haven't I done?
Starting point is 00:28:52 Like, how can I really make an impact and really relate? And I thought this was like the perfect opportunity. And then, you know, shout out to Lena Waithe. She's amazing. Incredible. Yeah, shout out to Carmen. And then Jason, you know, leading the cast, man. He's
Starting point is 00:29:08 awesome, you know what I mean? And little Alex Hibbert, the young boys. He does a great job. Yeah, yeah. It's just a dope, solid cast, and it just feels good. It feels good. It feels like the first project I've been a part of, and it's really making an impact, you know? I like how right now Emmett is being faced with the choice of either
Starting point is 00:29:23 looking for a job, getting a job, or going to the drug game. Have you ever been faced with that choice? Not that choice, no. I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, so, you know, it gets rugged there. My mom. Kill walking. Kill walking, yeah, yeah. My mom got me out of there at a young age, and I go back and just sort of talk to some of my homiesies some of my friends and you know seeing what the temptation they have to deal with it's a lot of good-hearted people you know in the urban community they don't want to they don't want to sell what they're selling they don't want to do what they're doing but you know there's only a few ways to really make money you know when you you're nine to five just ain't cutting it you know and uh I think that we see Emmett face those temptations of like,
Starting point is 00:30:08 all right, now I can't just, I'm not just taking care of myself no more. I got a baby and my mom's and like, I got to do something. And, you know, he doesn't really have the heart to really be out on the street selling no, you know, weed or selling anything. You know what I mean? He doesn't know anything about the street life. And that's what I can relate to. I don't know anything about it. I see it. I know people who are a part of it, but
Starting point is 00:30:30 yeah, so that's how I dive into the character, man. Your parents kept you away from that? My mom was like this, you know what I mean? So now I'm 21 years old, I kind of get to explore a little more and just sort of talk to people and really get out on the world on my own, you know what I mean, And really just sort of see what
Starting point is 00:30:46 all types of life is like. We have more with Jacob Latimer when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ N.V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. From this shot, we have Jacob Latimer in the building. Charlamagne? What do you think helps you to express yourself
Starting point is 00:31:02 artistically more? Music or the visual? The film, TV? I think it's a combination of both. I mean, with music, I sort of get to just get more in tune with myself personally. Whatever I'm going through, heartbreak or frustration, pain or whatever. With the film, I sort of, there's certain things I can relate to, but I'm really, you know, stepping into someone else's shoes. You have your heart broken already? A little bit.
Starting point is 00:31:29 It's all good. How long ago was this? About a year ago. She's sick now. This is so sad. Your mom's shaking her head like, yes, he has. Was she older than you? No, no, we same age.
Starting point is 00:31:40 We same age. How long you old together? A minute. Oh, cute or sad music? It's all good. It's sad. So wait, you sad music? Sad, it is sad. So wait, you wrote music about that, I'm sure though. That's a great time to be here. You better not make him cry.
Starting point is 00:31:52 No, I ain't gonna cry. I got like a great group of writers I work with so I just kind of tell them what kind of concepts I want to talk about and they just help me like really put it out in song form. So I've put out some music about it.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Was that your high school sweetheart? No, well I was homeschooled so I ain't really got a high school sweetheart. You know what I mean? Where'd you meet her? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:32:12 She's, you know, out and about. I'm going to keep it under the hat. I ain't going to give you so many details. Maybe y'all will get back together.
Starting point is 00:32:17 I ain't giving up your Instagram. Nobody adding her. Was it your fault y'all broke up, or was it hers? Or was it both? A little bit of both. She couldn't handle your glow up?
Starting point is 00:32:31 I don't know. Right now, I'm going up, so I don't really know. It was before the glow up. It was kind of before. It was kind of like in the middle. She reached back out to you now since the shot came on? No, we... A big head?
Starting point is 00:32:44 I probably won't. She reached back out to you now since the shot came on? No. Hey, big head. No, I probably won't. After you try to try something and it just don't work, you just... Did mama like her? Mom? I don't know if my mom liked any girl, to be honest. She said that. Every time a girl come in my life, they like, I don't know if your mama liked me.
Starting point is 00:33:02 I mean, that's how they feel. Did you like her, mom? Yeah. No comment now. Oh, so then you had to fight that. That wasn't going to work. But if your mama didn't like her, you probably dodged the bullet. You probably would have been off. But they were together for years.
Starting point is 00:33:14 She probably didn't like her, too, because she broke his heart. She broke his heart. You know, parents, you know, parents are always like, get ready for that long Instagram caption of someone saying, I didn't like your mama either, Jacob. I didn't like her neither. I see you're good friends with Trevor Jackson also. Yeah, that's my boy.
Starting point is 00:33:32 It's interesting because I would feel like y'all might be up for some of the same roles too. Physically, he's just different. You know what I'm saying? He's taller. He's just bigger. You know what I'm saying? I'm small. I'm a small dude.
Starting point is 00:33:43 So sometimes we go out it depends on the audition sometimes when you reach like a certain point of audition it's not even about your acting anymore it's like all right let's see let's mix and match who look good together or who don't look good together let's match this son and his mom together after that you know you're not really proving yourself as an actor so if we in the same room it's like it's more so like, who looked the part. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:07 How weird was it doing the sex scenes for you? Or like the in bed, naked, with everybody watching, with the cameras rolling, and she's like really naked. And I kind of felt like she's supposed to be
Starting point is 00:34:15 in high school. So I'm like, are we watching child pornography? It felt kind of young. It did feel kind of young. Even though I'm sure she's old enough.
Starting point is 00:34:21 I mean, how old are you, 20, 21? 21. So when you shot that, you probably was 20? 20. She's probably, what, 20? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:28 But their characters are supposed to be high school characters. High school, yeah, it just felt. Yeah. They high school? I didn't know they was high school. I mean, it's never really said. You know, I just kind of feel that way. So people kind of just guess, really.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I ain't seen neither one of y'all in school yet. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Emmett out here. I don't know neither one of y'all in school yet. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Emmett, Emmett, Emmett, Emmett out here. I don't know what he's doing. He's got a job. But how weird was it with everybody watching y'all? It was definitely, it was out the gate, it was weird. Because, I mean, you just didn't know when to really go.
Starting point is 00:34:56 You know what I mean? Like, even in rehearsal, you're just like, all right, so should I really do it now? Or should I wait till we really go? Or should I rehearse it? How are we going to do it? You know what I mean? So it's like, dang. All right, so as soon as they say action,
Starting point is 00:35:12 you just go for it. You just go for it. I got to be uncomfortable because she was naked naked. Yeah. She was more ready mentally and professionally than I was. I'm like, oh, God.
Starting point is 00:35:24 You know what I'm saying? Were you worried about, like, getting a hard-on? Did you get a hard-on? You asked her to get a hard-on? I'm just asking. That's got to be what caused her uncomfortableness, right? Not the first time, but the third episode, yeah. I was comfortable.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Let's go with it. You were comfortable. I was comfortable. I was like, she's like, yo, it's a, it's, I'm like, oh, my bad. My bad. I feel a little poke coming through. My bad. My bad.
Starting point is 00:35:52 You know what I'm saying? I'm trying to, I'm trying to be professional on set, you know, but you know. That ain't your fault though. It ain't my fault. That's the kind of stuff that comes back up five years. God made me this way. Yeah, but that's the kind of stuff that comes back up five years from now. We was doing a sex scene and he was hard.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Like, dang, that's not my fault. Nobody has said that. He can't control that one. Deshawn is doing a great job of, like, humanizing people in Chicago. Yeah. Did you understand that human side of Chicago before you did it? I did. I did because, I mean, I'm a Midwest kid, so coming from Milwaukee,
Starting point is 00:36:23 Milwaukee is, I wouldn't say, I don't know, just as dangerous. Who knows? But, like, it's in mini Chicago, so it's like it gets dangerous. And I've been in those neighborhoods. A lot of my family still lives in there. So I understood, like, the humanization of everything. So I just knew, like, I knew how to come in and ground the characters and really relate to, you know, a lot of real experiences that people go through. It's not everybody's not bad.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Everybody's not bad. You know what I mean? And I know a lot of those people. So did you live in Chicago for a while before this? No, I just I mean, I've always sort of visited. I did shows there. I've always, you know, it's next door, so I visit a few times. Now, with season two coming, we can assume that Emmett is not going to get killed or anything in season one, so you're going to make it. I hope not. I'll be like, Lena, what you doing? Lena, come on now.
Starting point is 00:37:14 I hope Emmett lasts throughout the whole shebang, however long we get. But, yeah, I definitely want to stay on screen. I don't want to see him turn into this. Because, honestly, I've died in, like, three, four of my movies already. Detroit, Maze Runner. I just want to live. Yeah, I'm just like, I don't want to take no more death roles. I got to survive.
Starting point is 00:37:40 What's your dream role right now? I mean, you're only 21, so you got a long life to go. Right. Right. Right now. Dream role? I want to play like a superhero, like a young superhero. It's a lot of DC comic characters out there. Like who?
Starting point is 00:37:54 Like which one? I can't think of no beige curly head superhero. Static Shock was one. Static Shock. That's more Jaden Smith. I always see Jaden Smith playing that role. I mean, he could, you know. It sounds like he's in talks for something already.
Starting point is 00:38:07 He could. No, no, no. It's not in talks. I just like that role. I just need some research on that. Juice, you are shooing for Raheem. Yeah, everybody. I've been seeing that on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:38:16 You're Raheem amazing. I've been seeing that on Twitter. But for me, touching. Did you see Juice? I did see Juice. Touching movies like that, it's just like, I don't know if I want to be a part of it because it's just like Pac was just so good
Starting point is 00:38:28 and it's just like I don't even know if I want to touch a film like that you know what I mean? Raheem dies too so early spoiler alert early
Starting point is 00:38:38 first one to get got I ain't trying to be out there like that I'm trying to I'm trying to survive so alright well check out The Shot each and every Sunday what What time are you? 10 o'clock.
Starting point is 00:38:47 One last question. Who got the best poom poom in Milwaukee or Chicago? Oh, man. Don't look at me. I don't know. You know you don't have to answer any of those questions. It's all Midwest love. He's about to say Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:39:04 He's living in Atlanta now. There you go. Jacob Lattimore is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hi, y'all. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:39:17 We are The Breakfast Club. Now, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Justin Dimmernay. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it that Justin Timberlake was going to use a hologram for his Prince tribute during the Super Bowl halftime show performance. But he backed out at the last minute. Now, he spoke to Sheila E. And she had tweeted that Justin Timberlake was not going to use a hologram after they had a conversation.
Starting point is 00:39:50 She said, family, I spoke with Justin tonight, and he shared heartfelt words of respect for Prince and the Purple fans. There is no hologram. Yeah, you fool around and bring a Prince hologram out there, then Prince's real ghost show up throwing shade. Now, she also said he thought it was very demonic, and that's his spiritual belief. She wanted to make sure that nobody ever does a hologram of him,
Starting point is 00:40:10 according to Sheila E. That's that Jehovah Witness in him. Drop one of Clues bombs for the Jehovah Witnesses out there, Danny. Our source post, Justin Timberlake, said the hologram plan was never, ever in play, that Justin would not disrespect Prince's legacy, so there was no change in his performance. Now, here is Justin Timberlake. He was on Fallon, and here's what he had to say. He's always been the pinnacle of musicianship for me. When we decided that like the serendipity and synergy that we would be in Minneapolis,
Starting point is 00:40:40 he's such a special thing here. Aside from what he is all over the world, I just felt like I wanted to do something for this city and something for him that would just be the ultimate homage to what I consider the GOAT of musicians. See, Justin Timberlake's Super Bowl halftime performance was very regular, especially in comparison to the last few Super Bowls we have witnessed. What it really needed was a hologram of Janet Jackson's titty. Okay? That's the only appearance that
Starting point is 00:41:10 would have took that performance to another level was Janet Jackson. Good finds. Alright, well, Prince's sister, Taika Nelson, also wants people to back off people who were hating on that halftime show. She said she was pleasantly surprised by Justin Timberlake's performance and even enjoyed the Prince tribute.
Starting point is 00:41:25 And she and the rest of Prince's family knew he was planning to sing I Would Die For You, but she said they weren't aware he was doing a video projection. But she said for the backlash, everyone has their own idea of what Prince would have wanted, so it's impossible for Justin to have any way of knowing that. Yeah, but you can't tell people how to have their opinion. I mean, if people enjoyed the show, they enjoyed it. If they didn't enjoy it, they have the right to express that too. But I thought it was very regular and he really, really needed Janet Jackson. I think everybody had their sights set on
Starting point is 00:41:52 Janet Jackson and when that didn't happen, it just didn't, you know, pan out. And she said in advance that she was not performing. Yeah, she wasn't doing it. I thought it was cool. It started off slow, but I thought it was cool. Alright, Steve Wynn. You know him as the casino tycoon. You know, the Wynn Hotels. He allegedly pressured a grandmother working in one of his casinos into having sex. He said he had never had a grandmother before and wanted to see how it feels.
Starting point is 00:42:11 Now, the woman who was unnamed told the Las Vegas Review-Journal, she said, I did it willingly because I felt like I had to. I didn't really want to. I was afraid for my job. She said she was working as a waitress at the Mirage and was a single mom of eight. She had just welcomed her first grandchild when Steve Wynn, who's now 76, allegedly slept with her and sexually harassed her for around a year. How old was she? At the time, well, she's 71 now, and this was in the 80s.
Starting point is 00:42:35 She said in the late 80s. She's still alive? Yeah, she's still alive. She's talking about it now. 71. Oh, she's 71 now, lady. Okay, okay, got you. Now, she said, you have so many new and young girls to choose from,
Starting point is 00:42:45 and you know, having sex with you makes me feel terrible. Why don't you just leave me alone? He said, she said he would single her out, slap her butt in public, and told her to come to his hotel room where he asked for oral sex. She said they had sex many more times. She said he didn't force me or anything, but I did go, but I felt so uncomfortable. I guess she felt like she would lose her job. So grandma took her teeth out and was performing oral sex on the man.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Well, I don't know about that. But there was a lot of lawsuits against him. A lot of people that say that he sexually harassed workers and coerced them into sex. One woman was a manicurist who got a $7.5 million settlement after her allegations. Wow. So I'm trying to figure out if she said that he didn't force her, what's the issue? I guess she's saying that she felt like she didn't have a choice. If she wanted to keep her job, she told them she was uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:43:30 She told them she didn't want to do it. You said she was a grandma? So he did force her then? Yeah, I mean, it's hard to say. She felt like she would lose her job. So she didn't tell him, I'm not doing it. She did it, but it wasn't willingly, I guess is the point. And by the way, the face of grandmas have changed nowadays.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Dropping the clues bombs for Bernice Burgos. Okay. It's not the old grandma that you're used to. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlamagne! Yes.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Who giving that donkey to? I'm giving donkey of the day to a couple from the great state of Florida. You know what your Uncle Charlo always says. The craziest people in all of America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. And this story is just reinforcement of my theory. My goodness. All right. We'll get into that when we come back.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day. I'm a Democrat. So being donkey of the day is a little bit of a mixed up. So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day at Shogumay. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mix-up.
Starting point is 00:44:27 So like a donkey. Hee-haw. 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.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Yes, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, February 6th goes to Jenny Long and Robert Long of the great state of Florida. What does your Uncle Sharla always tell you kids? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. And this not so lovely couple is proving my theory to be actual and factual.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Now, this is one of these stories that is causing me to be conflicted because on one hand, they absolutely deserve all their credit for being stupid. And on the other other hand, this is one of the most creative ways I've heard to get some money in a while. Let's go to ABC News for the report, please. These parents facing felony charges accused of convincing their 13-year-old son he had terminal cancer all to bilk their community out of cash. Police in Florida saying the boy spent the last eight months believing he's going to die from brain cancer. His mother, Ginny Long, posting on Facebook in December that they were told it would be a miracle if he was still with them by Christmas. A GoFundMe page raised nearly a thousand dollars and the parents sold these t-shirts at the boy's middle school all for
Starting point is 00:45:38 his supposed treatment. Only investigators say medical records prove he never had cancer. And those parents are charged with fraud and child abuse. Police say their son and another child are now in foster care as the investigation moves forward. Now we've seen adults push kids into the music industry to make money. We've seen adults try to get their Kris Jenner on and push kids into reality TV to make money. We've seen adults push kids into the sports world to make money. But I don't remember ever hearing about adults pushing kids into the realm of having cancer to make money. We've seen adults push kids into the sports world to make money. But I don't remember ever hearing about adults pushing kids into the realm of having cancer to make money. They at least get a 10 for creativity. Now, I'm country, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Monks Corner, South Carolina, all day. 843 was happening. So I don't play like that, okay, because you turn out to be what you pretend to be. So I would never say that I had something I didn't have, and I would never put that on somebody because in my mind, lying on someone in that manner will probably come back to be. So I would never say that I had something I didn't have and I would never put that on somebody because in my mind lying on someone in that manner will probably come back to me. I have such anxiety about stuff like this. I'm so paranoid about
Starting point is 00:46:32 it that I have never parked in a handicapped space. Okay, we all have had access to a handicapped decal in our life or thought, let me park here and run in real quick. You do a little limp, leave in the car. Nope. I don't play like that. I don't even like playing sick because in my mind, if I play sick, I'm going to get sick for real because
Starting point is 00:46:47 your thoughts really become things. And that's the problem I have with this story. Every day, those of us who know better have a job to teach better. We are responsible for the seeds we plant in people's heads because those seeds grow and blossom, especially in the mind of children. Okay? Jenny and Robert were planting seeds of fear
Starting point is 00:47:03 into their young boy's mind as if life isn't already scary enough. What if this little boy would have killed himself because he thought he was really dying of terminal brain cancer? What if this little boy actually develops some type of cancer due to stress? Oh, you don't think chronic stress can have a huge impact
Starting point is 00:47:20 on your health? Now, I'm not saying stress causes cancer. Okay, health experts are still trying to figure that one out, but there is little doubt that stress does promote the growth and spread of some form of the disease, okay? To quote Lorenzo Cohen, a professor who studies these kinds of things, he says, and I quote, stress makes
Starting point is 00:47:36 your body more hospitable to cancer. So technically, Jenny and Robert Long were killing that little boy slowly by stressing him the hell out, okay? Thank God the jig is up and he found out the truth because there's no telling what kind of anxiety he was suffering from. I'm getting anxiety just thinking about it because
Starting point is 00:47:52 this story is actually bringing me back to horrible memories, okay? Because I remember once my great friend Wax knew I was having sexual relations with a stripper and he had a young lady call my phone and pretend to be this stripper's friend and she told me that I need to go get checked out
Starting point is 00:48:08 because the stripper I had been knocking off was losing weight at a rapid pace and she took a glimpse in the mirror and didn't recognize her own face and her health was fading and she didn't know why and three letters were about to take her to her final resting place. Y'all don't hear me. You don't
Starting point is 00:48:23 understand the anxiety that caused me. Okay? And I was in my early 20s when this happened. So imagine how that 13 year old boy felt. Only thing that relieved all that stress and anxiety I experienced for about 20 minutes was when I called said Scripple and got right to it. Hey man, somebody just called me and said
Starting point is 00:48:40 XYZ HIV. What's happening? Okay? She insured me all was well. And after an HIV test of my own, I was totally relieved. But the point is this. Young 13-year-old had nowhere to turn. Because the people he trusted the most are the ones planting these toxic seeds into his young mind. It warms my cold heart to say that Jenny Long and Robert Long have been charged with one count of child abuse and nine counts of fraud.
Starting point is 00:49:05 We need to up the counts on the child abuse, but those charges will definitely stick. And if you are wondering, they received $1,000 in donations in their GoFundMe. And they sold nine t-shirts as part of a fundraiser for a grand total of $140.
Starting point is 00:49:21 So y'all caused your son all this emotional trauma for a grand total of $1. So y'all caused your son all this emotional trauma for a grand total of $1,140 and zero cents. Florida, ladies and gentlemen. Florida. Please let Remy Ma give Jenny Long and Robert Long the biggest hee-haw.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Hee-haw. Hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Jesus Christ. Goodness gracious. Alright, well, thank you for that dog care today. Up next is shoot your shot. Now, if you want to holla at somebody, maybe you need some help from the
Starting point is 00:49:54 Breakfast Club. Maybe it's your man. Maybe it's your ex. Maybe it's a co-worker. Maybe it's somebody you just know, a neighbor, and you want to shoot your shot. Well, we'll help you when we come back. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Are you ready? It's time to shoot your shot.
Starting point is 00:50:17 It's time to shoot your shot with The Breakfast Club. This is your one chance. Don't mess it up. Mess it up. Mess it up. Mess it up. Mess it up. Hey, we got Liz on the line.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Hey, Liz. Hey, guys. How's it going, Liz? It's going okay. Alright, now, you're calling for a shoot your shot now. Who you shooting your shot with? Okay, so, me and Miguel, we're boyfriend and girlfriend and... You're single, Miguel? I love Miguel. He's one of my favorite artists.
Starting point is 00:50:42 He's dope. I wish he was. But he's a pretty cute Miguel. He's one of my favorite artists. His music is dope. I wish it was. No, but he's a pretty cute Miguel. I love Miguel. And we were together, and we broke up a couple months back for stupid stuff, you guys. Like, it was just, like, ridiculous things that we were fighting about, you know? Like what? Give us an example.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Like hairspray? Like, so we were staying together and I will, we will fight over like, oh, you don't put the cap back in the toothpaste. You're not really closing the curtain after you take a shower. Just like we would get into the stupid arguments right after things
Starting point is 00:51:21 like that. Yeah, but that's natural. That's the growing pains of living with somebody. You gotta learn each other. Right. But we didn't. Okay, so what's the problem now? Because you guys broke up. Yeah, we broke up. I love him very much and I would really, really love
Starting point is 00:51:38 to get back with him, but during the time that we were together, I slept with Ray, one of his friends. Did you get pregnant? Wait, okay, slow down. So you guys broke up, but while y'all broke up, you slept with his boy. Did you get pregnant?
Starting point is 00:51:53 No, I didn't get pregnant. Did you get an STD? I didn't get an STD. So it don't matter. But it's one of his really good friends. But y'all were broken up. We're broken up. Yeah, so I mean... That could be a deal
Starting point is 00:52:07 breaker though. I mean, if you're seeing really good friends, like his homie homie who he's with all the time, yeah, you might have ruined it forever. It might be a wrap. But he probably already knows if that's a really good friend of his, but wouldn't his really good friend tell him? Does he know? I don't think he knows. Oh, you're about to tell him.
Starting point is 00:52:23 Yeah, but if he knows, he definitely thinks that you're just a thotty thotty. By the way, I got a homeboy who's in a position like that right now. He really likes this girl, and he's liked her for years, but he can't really wipe her up because she smashed a lot of the homies. Oh, damn. Including me. Oh, man. I only smashed one, so
Starting point is 00:52:40 I'm not that bad. No, it depends how close they are. Let's see what he thinks. No. Alright, when we come back, let's call him up. His name is Miguel, right? Yeah. And you're going to be completely honest. You're going to tell him about his friend that you smashed and all that? Yeah, I will.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Okay, we'll do that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hold on, Liz. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:53:03 We're in the middle of Shoot Your Shot. We have Liz on the line, and Liz is going to be shooting her shot with Miguel. Let's call him up, Liz. Hello? Hey, Miguel. It's me, Liz. Hi, Liz. How's it going? It's going good.
Starting point is 00:53:25 How are you doing? I'm okay. Just working a lot. Okay, then I'm glad for you. Hey, boo. I wanted to tell you that I miss you. I miss you so much, and I really love you, and I really, really love that we get back together. I really have to tell you something. It's been bothering me, and I really have to come clean with something.
Starting point is 00:53:49 I haven't talked to you in, like, three months, Liz. I know, but you can't really, like, ignore that we were together, that we had a relationship, that we lived together. Oh, yes, I can. Yeah, of course. I loved you. But I have to tell you something. I have to tell you something. I have to tell you something.
Starting point is 00:54:10 I slept with Ray when we were not together. My best friend, Ray? Yeah, I slept with Ray. How could you do that? Because I was really sad. I was really sad, Miguel. You were sad, so you slept with my best friend? Because Ray and I were hanging out one night. We weren't really even hanging out.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Like, we saw each other at the downtown bar that we used to go to, and he saw me, and I had been drinking, and then he had been drinking. It was drunk sex. It was just a little drunk sex. Miguel, this is the Breakfast Club, and it's a shoot your shot. Did you hear that? Miguel. When did you hear that? Miguel, it's's shoot your shot. Did you hear that? Miguel. Did you hear that?
Starting point is 00:54:47 Miguel, it's the breakfast club. We're the breakfast club, Miguel. This is your conscience telling you to hang up on this stock, Miguel. Hang up on this call. Now, Miguel, your ex-girlfriend, Liz, wants to come clean because she misses you. I have no idea what's happening. How many people are on this phone call? Four.
Starting point is 00:55:04 I'm DJing you. That's Angela Yee. That's Charlamagne. And your ex-girl, Liz. I have no idea what's happening. How many people are on this phone call? Four. That's Angela Yee, that's Charlamagne, and your ex-girl Liz. Would you rather you and Liz call Ray on three-way? Would you appreciate that? Well, I mean, I don't know how many people are on already, so maybe... When you say on already, do you mean including Ray? I don't know how many people she slept with when y'all broke up. Oh, stop it. So now what are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:55:23 She slept with Ray. Y'all weren't together. She really wants you back. She's sorry. She wants an opportunity and a chance. You going to give Liz a chance, bro? Don't be a sucker, Ray. I mean, this isn't the first time that Ray's done this.
Starting point is 00:55:35 So Ray didn't even tell you that he slept with your ex, and that's your best friend? No, of course not. He wouldn't say something until I asked him. Don't be more mad at Ray than you are this young lady. Ray's just being Ray. Oh, man. That's not fair. When did this happen? I didn't say something until I asked him. Don't be more mad at Ray than you are this young lady. Ray's just being Ray. That's not fair.
Starting point is 00:55:49 When did this happen? This happened about maybe three weeks after we broke up. Three weeks after we broke up. Only three weeks. That means she's been eyeing Ray the whole time. That does not mean that. Ray took advantage of the situation. That means she's been eyeing Ray the whole time, player, player. Damn it. At that time, we were still trying
Starting point is 00:56:08 to get back together and work things out, Liz. Ooh, Liz. That's tough. You don't understand. I'm really, really sorry that happened. And I was in a really bad time. I mean, I was just really sad. I was really depressed. All I was thinking was about you, and
Starting point is 00:56:24 you weren't even, like, calling me that much. I didn't even know we were going to get together. And this happened out of nowhere. This is a hell of a white people problem. I mean, I loved you so much, Liz, and, like, we broke up for some petty-ass s***, and now you're telling me that you f***ed Ray,
Starting point is 00:56:40 but you want to get back with me? What do you think? What do you think? Can it happen? Don't ask him what he thinks at a time like this. I came clean. I'm coming clean. She came clean. Miguel, she didn't have to tell you. We don't know if she's clean.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Ray probably got all kinds of interviews. This isn't the first time Ray's done this. How can you say you won't do it again? So you're going to give her a shot? Oh, my God. I'm telling you the truth, and I'm not going to do it again. And I never cheated on you the whole time we were together. Boo.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Boo. Boo! Boo! Boo! Well, let's let Miguel decide. Miguel, would you be willing because you said you love her and you guys were broken up. I do, I do. So technically she didn't do anything wrong because y'all were broken up. Don't be a sucker, Miguel. So what are you going to do Miguel? Give her a shot. I mean, I'm going to have to think about this. This is all so
Starting point is 00:57:21 out of the blue. What do you need her to do to prove that she loves you? You didn't even ask the important questions. Is Ray's penis bigger than yours? Only you think about this. This is all so... Oh, God. He's thinking about it. Out of the blue. What do you need her to do to prove that she loves you? You didn't even ask the important questions. Is Ray's penis bigger than yours? Only you care about that. Was his sex better than yours? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:32 We've been friends for a long time. I know it's not, so I'm worried about that. Oh, you've seen his penis before. Will Ray be in the wedding if y'all get married? No.
Starting point is 00:57:39 He'll probably be my best man. All right, I'm leaving. I've had enough. Y'all have a nice day. Oh, my God. Bye. See y'all later. I'm really walking out. What you gonna do, Miguel? Give her a shot, man. Y'all have a nice day. Oh, my God. Bye. See y'all later. I'm really walking out.
Starting point is 00:57:46 What you gonna do, Miguel? Give her a shot, man. Y'all talk it out and hopefully y'all can make it work. This world ain't what I remember. Can we talk about this not on the radio? Yes, yes, of course.
Starting point is 00:57:55 So, Liz, you call him now and we wish you guys both best of luck. Liz, you ain't... Let us know what happens, Liz. And, Miguel, you are a sucker. All right. Well, thank you, guys.
Starting point is 00:58:04 We're not here to judge anybody's relationship. Maybe it'll work out. Alright. Only one in this whole situation is Ray. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright. Well, that is Shoot Your Shot. Keep it locked. Rumors on the way. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:58:19 That's my only dance. I know. Alright. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Drake. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Charlamagne really walked out after Shoot Your Shot, huh? He was that mad. All right, well, Drake filmed the video for his song God's Plan, and he did that at high school, Miami Senior High School, Monday afternoon. Now he is at the school donating $25,000. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:58:53 And then he announced he was giving the whole school free uniforms that he was making. Ain't that nice? In addition, he gave one student a $50,000 scholarship. Destiny Paris put it on Instagram and she said, This happened today. I applied to scholarships last year for which I had to write an essay. I received those scholarships and thought that was the end of it. Apparently, my essay and my story made it to other departments.
Starting point is 00:59:15 I was contacted this weekend about doing a video speaking about where I come from, things I've been through, and why it is so important for scholarship donors to continue to donate. Well, guess what the big surprise was? Drake came out and gave her $50,000 for her tuition. So congratulations. That's what you're supposed to do. You were called out of student school.
Starting point is 00:59:32 We give back some money to the school and give them back. That's great for Drake. Yeah, and that's great for her. That's awesome. All right. Kodak Black. He is hoping to get out and be released from jail as he awaits trial for his latest charges. And that's because the judge, Joel Lazarus, accidentally spoke into the microphone that was hot over a live Internet broadcast.
Starting point is 00:59:54 What did he say? Now, Kodak Black, let's not forget that he is being hit with seven felony charges after they found guns and marijuana in his residence after they raided the house. Well, what the judge was saying, he was telling the prosecutor that he would double the bond to those that take place in my neighborhood. And he then said, closer to my house, the higher the bond. That was always the Lazarus rule. Again, his name is Judge Joel Lazarus. The mic was hot, though, so everybody heard it. Now, Kodak Black was there that day.
Starting point is 01:00:21 He was denied bond minutes after those comments were made. So later on, the judge said he was joking, but the Broward County Chief Judge barred him from presiding over first appearance court in the future and also from anything involving criminal court over the clearly inappropriate statement. So Kodak Black's legal team is hoping that these comments that were very inappropriate will allow him to be released from jail as he awaits trial. Come on. Yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 01:00:46 All right, now let's get on to this. Monique is still talking about Will Packer, and she had this to say about him. And there's a reporter named John Mary who read an email that he received from a producer by the name of William Packer. However, what they did not do is send the rest of the emails. So we want to post the thread of the emails so you get a chance to see the behind the scenes of how a producer tried to intimidate, bully, and ruin someone's character. Oh, and the last video, that's the fire where our trailers blew up on the set of Almost Christmas. I'm still waiting for the email from Mr. Packer asking was anybody harmed, but we never got that.
Starting point is 01:01:23 Now, what does her trailer getting on fire have to do with anything? I don't know. Clearly, she's okay. Oh, my goodness. But now Gary Owen had to jump in and respond, and here's what he said. Man, Monique don't stop. She blames everybody. It's Oprah, it's Tyler, it's Lee Daniels, it's Netflix. Now it's Will Packer. Will Packer's done more for black actors and actresses than just about anybody in the last 10 years.
Starting point is 01:01:44 I mean, the dude is basically changing the game and now you're going to say he's against you when honestly he put you in a movie almost Christmas when nobody was putting you in movies and then you're throwing him under the bus. Sometimes you got to take accountability for yourself. It's you. Gary Owen is a good friend, man. I need friends like that that stand up for you no matter what.
Starting point is 01:01:59 That's a good friend right there. Well, he also probably really believes that. I mean, it's not like he's just saying it. Now, Will Packer responded, Appreciate you for spitting facts, G. I have so much respect for actors because their jobs are extremely challenging. I can understand when their behavior
Starting point is 01:02:13 is less than desirable sometimes, but you're only as strong as your representation. Now, Monique went ahead and released these emails, and I have to say, I don't know if this really helps her case. What happened? Because I tried to read through it. It's very long.
Starting point is 01:02:26 So her husband, who also represents her, Sidney, posted, Hello, Will. How am I harassing you like I asked you for your love and you keep saying no or something like that? When in truth, I've only asked you to make things right with Monique due to you not standing behind the amount of weeks you said she would be needed for the film and her time commitment pertaining to travel. It goes on and on and on a lot of uh rambling on but one thing that he kept doing in this email was trying to and i know will packer said that she she treated the staff poorly but he kept on saying things about her he would say this um you had to stand up while we sat down listening to you pontificate and profile for your companion. I'm sorry, I mean your assistant.
Starting point is 01:03:06 And throughout the email, he kept saying, our conversation was about your companion. I'm sorry, I mean your assistant. So in other words, trying to make it seem like his assistant is not really a person that works for him. He's really not going to hold his... So just trying to belittle her. And he does that all throughout this whole entire email.
Starting point is 01:03:22 And I read what Will Packer said back, and it seemed very professional. Basically, Will Packer was like, listen, if you want to communicate with me any further, do so through your lawyer because you are not going to harass, attack, and bait me over and over. It's uncalled for. Wow. So anything you have to say, do it through your attorney, Ricky Anderson. Okay. And that makes perfect sense.
Starting point is 01:03:40 So I don't know that this really helped her at all. I don't think it's going to help Monique at all, but I wish her the best. Well, thank you, brother. All right, sister. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that was your Rumor Report. All right. The People's Choice mixes up next.
Starting point is 01:03:51 If you want to hear something in the mix, let us know right now. Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's go. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag.
