Starting point is 00:04:39 Yeah. Now, let me ask you. I know with Biggie's family, they ask that we don't celebrate his death, right? I don't think it's I mean, I don't think it's I mean, it's not a celebration. It's just, you know, an acknowledgement remembrance. Yeah. You know, you can't act like, you know, that wasn't a traumatic day for the hip hop community. Like I can still remember. I mean, even though it was just two years ago, I still remember that Sunday very, very, very vividly. And I think, you know, as a black man in this culture, you know, that hit home because, you know, that wasn't supposed to happen to somebody like Nipsey, you know, given and given pouring into the community that he poured into and, you know, getting tragically assassinated in that community. Right. By somebody he would have, I'm sure, helped if given the opportunity. Yeah. And that person still hasn't had their trial, right?
Starting point is 00:05:25 No. Yeah, but that's still hasn't had their trial, right? No. Yeah, but that's not too far-fetched, though. I mean, especially being that COVID was last year. You know, it's only been two years. Sometimes these guys be sitting three, four years before they go to trial. Especially, like you said, because of COVID. The whole court system is backed up. Even the DMV is backed up.

Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone.

Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.

Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, all you NFL fans, NFL is expanding season to 17 games now. That's so stupid. The NFL is so dangerous
Starting point is 00:10:30 already. It's just like, why add more games? More money for them. It's just so stupid. I guess the players make more money too, but I really would like to know the number of players who would want to play an extra NFL game. And then 17 games, it's just like, by week 16, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:47 you have a couple of teams playing to get into the playoffs or whatever, but it's like, do you really need 17 weeks at NFL? No. Come on. Now also the final four, Baylor versus Houston Saturday and Gonzaga versus UCLA. And women's final four, South Carolina versus Stanford and Arizona versus Connecticut.
Starting point is 00:11:05 Let's go, Gamecocks! All right, now what else you got, Yee? Well, let's talk about Derek Chauvin, day two of the trial for a killing of George Floyd. He's charged with second-degree murder, second-degree manslaughter, and third-degree murder. The jury did hear from six different bystanders. One of them was a Minneapolis firefighter, Genevieve Hansen,
Starting point is 00:11:23 and here is what she said. When you first approached, you said you identified yourself as a firefighter. Correct. To whom did you identify yourself? To Officer Tao. How did Officer Tao respond? He said something along the lines of, if you really are a Minneapolis firefighter, you would know better than to get involved. What did you think of that? That's not right. I mean, that's exactly what I should have done. There was no medical assistance on scene and I got there and I could have given medical assistance. That's exactly what I should have done.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Now, she did want to provide medical attention, but the officers would not allow it. And she called 911 also. Another person who took the stand was Darnella. She was 17 at the time. She's the person who took the Facebook video of Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd's neck. That's the video that went viral. And they called her as a witness.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And here's what she said as she cried, recounting that night. When I look at George Floyd, I look at my dad. I look at my brothers. I look at my cousins, my uncles, and I look at that and I look at how that could have been one of them. It's been nights. I stayed up apologizing to George Floyd for not doing more and not physically interacting and not saving his life.
Starting point is 00:12:48 But it's like, it's not what I should have done. A lot of tears in that courtroom. It's crazy that she's beating herself up, but it wasn't up to her to do the right thing in that situation. It was up to the police to do the right thing in that situation. Correct. Yeah, a lot of the bystanders were
Starting point is 00:13:04 angry at themselves for not doing more, given what happened. And here is MM fighter Donald Wynn Williams, and he actually called the police on the police. At some point, did you make a 911 call? That is correct. I did call the police on the police. And why did you do that? Because I believe I witnessed a murder. 911, what's the address of the emergency?
Starting point is 00:13:27 Officer 987 killed a citizen in front of a Chicago store. He just pretty much just killed this guy that wasn't resisting arrest. He had his knee on his dude's neck the whole time, Officer 987. I mean, that's real. Who do you call when you are witnessing a crime when the person committing the crime is the person you you call when you are witnessing a crime when the person committing the crime is the person you would call when you're witnessing a crime? That's got to be a mind-eff out of this world.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Now here's some more from MMA fighter Donald Dwayne Williams and how he feels about the defense. As you were there and interacting with Officer Tao and Officer Chauvin, you grew more and more upset. Would you agree with that? Correct. You grew angry, right? I grew control and professionalism. In that statement, you said, like, I really wanted to beat the shit out of the police officers.
Starting point is 00:14:19 You said that? Yeah, I did. That's what I felt. You were angry. No, you can't paint me on as angry. You know, I didn't have any expectation prior to the trial, just because this country has let me down so much. They don't be charging white folks for killing black people like that,
Starting point is 00:14:36 especially when they cops. But I now feel like Derek Chauvin is going to prison. I don't know if they'll throw the book at him, but he's going to prison. I mean, you factor in all those witnesses, you factor in the world, seeing that video of Derek Chauvin killing George Floyd. He's going to prison. I don't know if they'll throw the book at him, but he's going to prison. I mean, you factor in all those witnesses, you factor in the world seeing that video of Derek Chauvin killing George Floyd, he's going to prison. And if he doesn't, this country's going to explode. I mean, this country's going to
Starting point is 00:14:53 explode like you thought last summer was something. That's going to look like spring break in Florida. Let Derek Chauvin get off. Witness testimony in the trial is expected to last about four weeks, followed by jury deliberations. And that is your front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

To mention the system that loves oppressing the victims, they keep us working for nickels and take them off of the rats. Tempt us with pistols, illegal drugs, and the liquors of propaganda.
Starting point is 00:19:38 They're pitching a trap assault in their system. People, the deal is a secret weapon that's killing us. This is a twist in the mental to pit our neighbors against us. Calling out 50 to use my difference against me, but they created a monster. My skin is thicker than Nikki's. Thought they could break me. Must have been smoking the sticky. I'm repping hard for the gays.
Starting point is 00:19:55 I'm repping hard for my city. Still a rich man in that Richmond still in me. No matter how far I take it, I got my city right with me. Hey, man. You, hey, you. What up? You suck. And you need to not quit your day job.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Thank you. Damn it, man. Ouch. That was a little harsh. What do you mean? It wasn't that bad. He wasn't trashed. Come on, stop.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Craig. How's it going? What's up, Craig? Get it off your chest bro listen man i watched the the uh the court proceeding yesterday man this is a very hard watch um i watched the judge pretty much admonish the emt worker um at one point uh the
Starting point is 00:20:38 defense tried to make it look like stress would make her forget some things. So he said, so in a stressful situation, do you forget things? And she said, yes. And that's why I'm glad I have video of it, you know, which was a great point. The judge didn't like that, you know. So when it was finally over, he pretty much admonished her about being aggressive. And I just didn't think she was aggressive.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Right. I mean, and she said certain things like, do you know what it's like to watch somebody die in front of you? That's a real thing. And he was saying, he was saying only answer the questions that you're asked. That's what he was saying. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Right. Yeah. It's very hard to watch. I don't watch because there's too much gaslighting going on. You know what I'm saying? If I was a lawyer defending Derek Chauvin, I couldn't sleep at night. Like you literally trying to get a guy off for murder. You know what I'm saying? If I was a lawyer defending Derek Chauvin, I couldn't sleep at night. Like, you literally trying to get a guy off for murder.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Right. You know? Like you said, Charlemagne, the reason why I'm watching, man, is because at first I thought Chauvin would get off. You know, but after watching all of these witnesses and the video over and over again, there's just no way they can let him off. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I hope not. Thank you, man. We've seen the white man do some magical stuff before, there's just no way they can let him off. It's no way. I hope not. Thank you, man. We've seen the white man do some magical stuff before, but this one, nah. Unless they want this country to burn. Because it's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:21:51 You know, now as an attorney, right, as an attorney, you've seen the video yourself. How can you represent him? And I know everybody's entitled to represent whoever and you're entitled to have a lawyer,
Starting point is 00:22:00 but as an attorney, how could you represent that? Well, that's why I said it's too much gaslighting in that situation. You know what I'm saying? Like, I couldn't sleep at night if I was a lawyer for Derek Chau attorney, how could you represent that? That's why I said it's too much gaslighting in that situation. You know what I'm saying? I couldn't sleep at night if I was a lawyer for Derek Chauvin. And if you're not used to having to take the stand
Starting point is 00:22:10 and answer these questions from the defense and take the stand, yeah, I mean, I can't imagine not really saying everything that you want to say at that time. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.

One more thing. One more thing. One more thing. All right. Thank you, Chris, for listening, though. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:26:21 We got rumors on the way now, Yip. Yes, and this couple is going to therapy. And when I say couple, I mean they're friends with each other. They're not actually dating. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Angela Yip. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Marseille Martin spoke to The Hollywood Reporter after getting two trophies at the NAACP Image Awards for her work in Black-ish. And she talks about what's coming up for her next. Now, she has a rule about no black pain in her project. She says, we've been working on it for quite a while now. I've always wanted to have just a cool activity that like us black people
Starting point is 00:27:08 love, like everyone loves it, but the aesthetic of roller skating is just amazing. And it just doesn't get the recognition that it needs. I just wanted to shine a light on it. And then she also said, sickle cell is a very big thing in our black community. It tackles us the most.
Starting point is 00:27:19 It's never been seen on TV or film before. So I want to make sure this was a moment to shine a light on it and not a bad way because we don't do black pain, but to where our main character is still celebrated. So she has a rule for what she's trying to do coming up. And her rule is no black pain. She doesn't want to just keep doing projects all about black pain. There's enough of that. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I totally understand what she's saying in regards to black trauma, black pain. My thing is with movies and TV shows, show me like you can give me that, but also give me the happy ending. Show me how things should be, how you want things to go. For example, Queen and Slim. Why couldn't they have gotten away? Why did they have to get killed? If you didn't see it. You didn't miss much. But why couldn't they get on the plane and get away? Like, why did they have to die at the end of the movie?
Starting point is 00:28:06 Why did they even have to go on the run? She was an attorney. The cop was wrong. That's all I'm saying. Show me how things could go, or how you would want things to go. All right, now Kendall Jenner has left her house after getting a death threat and somebody intruded. A latest scary incident happened on Sunday, according to TMZ, and they said she moved out of her house
Starting point is 00:28:25 because of the possible risk. It's just too much for her to stay. So they're saying she has moved to a safe location that has armed security and has no plans to return to her house. So she might have to sell it. And you know, a trespasser showed up and attempted a naked swim in her pool. She got a
Starting point is 00:28:41 temporary restraining order against another guy who told police he planned to shoot and kill her and then himself. I'm surprised she don't have armed security at that crib. Because all it just takes is one person. Just one person to hop over that fence to try to do something, bow, and it'll never happen again. Because it's going to happen wherever she moves to.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Well, Drake has a super stalker also. And according to the Toronto Sun, a knife-wielding woman was arrested yesterday. She allegedly struck a security guard with a metal pipe to try to get into his mansion. Yikes. That perpetrator did not get anywhere near Drake and didn't make it past the front gate.
Starting point is 00:29:18 But still, you know, what is going on with people? All right. Now, Joe Button and his podcast co-host Rory, they are supposedly going to therapy together. Joe Button went on Instagram Live and, you know, divulged that they have these plans to do that. I don't think I'm supposed to divulge our therapy plans publicly. We're going to therapy. I'm a therapy baby, man. Now he said he's the person that reached out to Rory to see if he wanted to go with him. And he said, we'll get to pod business later.
Starting point is 00:30:06 So it looks like they're trying to work on patching up their relationship and bringing all the members back to the Joe Button podcast. I never thought about going to therapy with a friend that I was arguing with. That's different. That's really different. I mean, therapy with your wife, with your... That's different. Okay. I hope they work it out.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Now I was going to say, I think it's just weird. Like, if we're having a, I don't know. Go ahead. Charlamagne, what do you think? You go to therapy all the time. I'm a huge proponent of therapy. Correct. But I don't have an opinion about this situation.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Would you go to therapy with your friend? It depends. Maybe. Okay. But probably not. I'd rather just fight. Yeah, just fight. Get it over with. If it was just me but probably not all right just fight yeah just fight just fight yeah kiss you after all right guys whoa see what i'm saying see that's why we'll never fight though who would win in a fight between me and charlamagne you didn't hear what he said to me. I heard what you just said. No, he said to me, we'll fight and then kiss after.
Starting point is 00:31:09 I just heard you say, let's get to the kiss. That's all I heard. You didn't hear? Everybody else out there heard Envy clearly say he wanted to kiss me after the fight. That's exactly what he said. Dramos, did you hear him? I didn't hear that. See what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:31:22 We didn't hear that. We just heard you say, can we get to the kiss. I don't know what he's talking about. All right, guys. Well, did you hear him? I didn't hear that. See what I'm saying? We didn't hear that. We just heard you say, can we get to the kiss? I didn't know what he was talking about. All right, guys. Well, did you say that? Did I say what? I didn't say anything. They're talking about it.
Starting point is 00:31:32 You just want to get to the kiss? I didn't say nothing. You did say that. See, I knew I shouldn't. That's why I wanted to get to the kiss. All right, we're going to use that drop on warning. Now, Young Dolph says that this mixtape that he did with Key, Glock, Diamond, Dumber 2 is the end of it for him. He said, I hope you all are enjoying the new mixtape that he did with Key Glock, Dumb and Dumber 2, is the end of it for him.
Starting point is 00:31:45 He said, I hope y'all enjoying the new mixtape. It's my last project putting out. I wasn't going to tell y'all, but I thought y'all should know I'm done with music. Enjoy. No, he not. No, he not. First of all, Dumb and Dumber 2 is hard. Dumb and Dumber 2 is so hard.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Dolph and Key Glock are by far the best duo in the rap league right now. Well, Dolph and Key Glock didn then Pooh Shiesty and Big 30. But yeah, Dumb and Dumber 2 is hard. Dolphin going nowhere. He can't be done. He's not done. He's not going nowhere. But the project is hard.
Starting point is 00:32:11 It's dope. Hard, hard. That's what I've been working on since it came out Friday. All right. Now Saweetie, and we're going to talk about Saweetie and Quavo in the next hour and the elevator footage that was put out yesterday. But Saweetie has changed her avatar to a picture of Cat Williams. And I saw a lot of people talking about it, saying, oh, she's a pimp.
Starting point is 00:32:30 She's talking about pimping. But it made me think of I interviewed Saweetie on International Women's Day. And she was talking about Cat Williams because she was talking about why having haters is a good thing. So here is a refresh of that. All right. Now, what is one life lesson that you got from your father? I remember I was hating on real bad in high school, like rumors, girls wanted to jump me. And I used to come home so frustrated because I just wanted
Starting point is 00:32:54 to fight everybody. And my dad sat me down and he showed me this Cat Williams tape about how having haters is a good thing. And then Cat Williams was like, if you got five haters at the beginning of the summer, try to make sure you got 50 bitches hating on you by the end of the summer. So my dad basically taught me at a young age that having haters is a good thing because that means you're doing something right with your life.
Starting point is 00:33:17 That's right. First of all, don't ever take for granted where someone can get a lesson from. It's lessons and signs all around us. If we pay attention, you can learn something from anyone. So great to really learn from Kat Williams. Right. So I think that's why her avi
Starting point is 00:33:30 is now Kat Williams, not because she thinks she's a pimp. Just for everybody out there that I saw was saying that. I'll take it a step further to quote Malcolm X. If you have no critics, you likely have no success. That's another good one. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you,
Starting point is 00:33:48 Ms. Yee. Now we got front page news we'll be talking about. Yes, all 50 states have now expanded or will expand COVID vaccine eligibility to everybody 16 and up. All right. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Starting point is 00:34:04 When a train hits a vehicle at a railway crossing, the results are often deadly. Be cautious at crossings, and if the signals are going, don't be tempted to try and sneak across the tracks, even if you don't see a train. Stop. Trains can't. Brought to you by NHTSA. Let's get into some front page news. Now, the NFL is expanding this season to 17 games. What a waste of goddamn time.
Starting point is 00:34:28 It's just like, man, could y'all please stop treating these players like commodities that are just, you know, able to, that are expendable damn near. It's like, why do you need 17 weeks in the NFL? That's too much. If anything, you should be shortening the season. Shortening the preseason, which I think they did. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 00:34:42 And then shortening the regular season too. 17 games is a lot. 16 games is a lot. I think they did. Yeah. Right? And then shortened in the regular season, too. 17 games is a lot. 16 games is a lot. I think they said they lost like a billion dollars. So I guess this is part of their way of getting that money back. Well, they still ain't going to be able to get the money back if they can't have full people in the stands. But didn't they do a big TV deal this year with all of these different networks? So it's not like they're not making money.
Starting point is 00:35:00 It's like, God damn, how greedy can you be? All right. What else we got, Ye? Well, let's talk about this blackout challenge this is really dangerous a 12 year old colorado boy was reportedly left brain dead he used a shoelace in the blackout challenge to dare people to choke themselves until they lose consciousness uh joshua was found by his twin brother passed out on his bathroom floor he has since been declared brain dead and doctors told the family to prepare to say their goodbyes. His father is saying
Starting point is 00:35:28 he's a fighter. I can see him fighting. I'm praying for him every day. He said it's just heartbreaking to see him laying on the bed. I was begging them on the floor, pleading to see if they can just give me some time not to give up on him. If I just give up on him, I feel like I'm walking away from my son. Lord have mercy. How old is he?
Starting point is 00:35:44 Twelve. See, that's what I'm saying. I got a 12-year-old. That's why I be just walking in the room. Let me see what's on, what's happening. You know what I'm saying? Put the computer down, read a book. You know what I mean? It's just like, Jesus Christ, these kids be influenced to do some wild stuff.
Starting point is 00:35:55 And there's got to be a thin line between choking yourself until you pass out and suicide, right? Like actually hanging yourself. How do you know the difference? Yeah, you know, with the asphyxiation, it is always a risk that you'll end up killing yourself. Yeah, like how do you know when to stop? I'm surprised
Starting point is 00:36:13 TikTok didn't ban these challenges a long time ago before they even get started. They banned everything else quickly, fast. I'm surprised they didn't ban that. They banned everything that doesn't matter. And all the stuff that's really influencing people and causing people to harm themselves be just catching wildfire on social
Starting point is 00:36:30 media. President Joe Biden has announced new actions and these are aimed at addressing the nation's rise in anti Asian violence. The move comes nearly two weeks after the deadly shootings that left eight people dead including six Asian women and these new details include a Department of Justice cross-agency initiative
Starting point is 00:36:49 focused on responding to hate crimes. So they will initiate community outreach to address gaps in hate crimes reporting, while the FBI will publish a new interactive hate crime page dedicated to anti-Asian hate crimes. The FBI will also work to improve data collection and prior reporting systems and hold nationwide civil rights training events with state and local law enforcement on recognizing anti-Asian bias. They're also allocating $49.5 million from the American Rescue Plan to a new grant community, a new grant program for community-based, culturally specific services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, particularly those who face barriers like language access. Now, I'm sure a lot of people saw this video yesterday of a woman, an Asian woman who was headed to church and she was attacked.
Starting point is 00:37:34 This happened in Manhattan. Her name is Vilma. Vilma Carey. Yes, the man was just stomping her. And they are saying that 38 year old Brandon Elliott was taken into custody yesterday. He's the man that was seen punching and kicking the victim in the video that has made national headlines. A 65-year-old Asian woman was on her way to church in Midtown. He was charged with assault and attempted assault as a hate crime, and he'll be arraigned later today.
Starting point is 00:38:01 But they did say he has a long record he was actually arrested in july of 2002 for fatally stabbing his mother when he was 19 in the bronx he did serve 17 years in prison he was released on like he was released on lifetime parole back in 2019 i tell you all the time the craziest people in america come from the bronx and all of florida but you know in regards to joe biden i feel like all of those programs and stuff should have been in place in america when you got so much racism towards black people and Latino people and so much homophobia and transphobia and, you know, anti-Semitic stuff,
Starting point is 00:38:32 like, I feel like all of those hate crime programs or whatever he just implemented, that should have been there. I would think, right? And you know what else was sad to see? The security that was inside of the store, right? They are the building right there. They actually just watched and then they closed the door. But they got suspended too.
Starting point is 00:38:48 They actually should be fired. They're definitely cowards. Situation like that, that's a freebie. You know what I'm saying? Those three security guards could have went out there and wailed all over Brandon Elliott, stabbed him, did whatever, and nobody would have even thought twice about convicting them. Well, maybe they would, but it would have been worth it.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Since we're in New York, let's talk about New York. They have legalized recreational marijuana and also expunged former marijuana convictions. So this all happened last night. The New York State Assembly voted 100 to 49 to pass the marijuana legalization bill. And Cuomo has previously said that he will sign this bill into law once it reaches his desk. And he reiterated that last night as well. Yeah. Any, any, uh, state that's decriminalizing marijuana, legalizing marijuana, you have to let your nonviolent, uh, drug offenders out of jail and you have to expunge, you know, the records of people who have those types of charges on them. You have to. All right. It would be hypocritical to do otherwise.
Starting point is 00:39:46 Your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now when we come back, she's a runner, she's a track star. Mooski will be joining us. That's why you got your track outfit on today? No. You feel like doing a little light jog?
Starting point is 00:39:57 No. You feel like being chased? You feel like a catch today? No. You like it? Okay, stop. Mooski. I just asked you.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Mooski's coming up next. All right. We'll kick it with Mooski when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Okay, stop. Mooski. I just asked you. Mooski's coming up next. All right, we'll kick it with Mooski when we come back as The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Probably has the hottest record out right now. Ladies and gentlemen, Mooski. What's up, brother? Hey, how you doing, man? Good morning, young king. Tell him the name of the record, man. She's a runner, she's a track star. Not you, Envy.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Let's take it back. Let's see where Moosky's from and how he got into music. So you're from Alabama. Yes, sir. And I was reading, and you joined the military. Let's break that down, how you got in the military, and then how you got into music. All right, so I started making music when I was like 13.
Starting point is 00:40:47 You know, I come from like a real heavy church background. You know, so my mom, she was singing in the choir and stuff. So I've always been around music, you know what I mean? So I was like 13, and I used to make music on my phone. I was called The Booth. I was recording music on there, but it was like, it was gospel rap at first. And then, you know, the older I got, you know there But it was like It was gospel rap at first And then you know The older I got
Starting point is 00:41:06 You know I started to like I started listening to Wayne And stuff So I wanted to rap a little bit Like I wanted to be like Wayne And I heard Drake And I wanted to sing a little bit So you know time went on
Starting point is 00:41:16 Or whatever But how the Marine Corps came about Like I was just in high school And I really wasn't Like I didn't You know I didn't apply To no colleges But I knew I had to do something I was looking into a military because one of my friends were going
Starting point is 00:41:29 but I was like I was in the army I was looking at the army at first and then just something about the Marine Corps that just it stood out to me what was your experience like in the Marine Corps though I loved everything about it I like I like the leadership role I like you know just meeting people from all over the world, you know, and just like learning about them, learning different cultures and stuff. Like I thought that was really dope. And, you know, just advancing through the ranks and, like I said, getting that leadership role and being able to influence people
Starting point is 00:41:57 and have an impact on people's life. And, I mean, I just think it was very dope. And it taught me a lot about myself. It showed me who I could be as a leader. You know, and I wanted more of that, but on a more like a global platform. What I like about you, though, is that you're very vulnerable in your music. Even like the song, like Trackstar, it feels like somebody broke your heart. And you were the one that was trying to communicate and get things right.
Starting point is 00:42:22 But she just wasn't the right person for you. She was running from you. Right. Yeah. You know, that's a real story. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, track, track start, like I said, like I pulled from, I definitely pulled from real experience in my life. So it just makes the story better, you know, when it's coming out of my life, you know,
Starting point is 00:42:37 and I can really dig in deep and like give people something they can really connect with. Like that was the whole thing, the track store. I wanted to, I wanted to take that concept and see how far I can run with it. No pun intended. Yeah. But why she's a track star? Like, why that term?
Starting point is 00:42:52 I mean, it's just, like, she runs from all the problems. You're dealing with somebody, like, on this end, you're bringing, like, you're coming to the table trying to take care of whatever that's going on. You get what I'm saying? But she can't match that energy at the time you know what i mean so it's like you're ready to deal with everything like like you're ready for it but you know that's just something that um the other person wasn't ready for how did the song pop off how did you create the song and what made it go because
Starting point is 00:43:19 i heard it when i was in atlanta and i was like i just assumed you were from atlanta that they were playing it so much in atlanta so how did the song pop off and take off? Because it's been out since last summer, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's been out since last summer. We dropped it June of last year, ever since I dropped the song. And you were assigned. You were independent.
Starting point is 00:43:34 You were just releasing stuff online. Yeah. So I dropped the song, bro. And the first week, man, it did like 10,000. I was like, okay. I was like, dang. Because my other songs had like 5,000 streams total, bro. And I jumped in. Yeah. So,
Starting point is 00:43:48 bro, every week it kept going up. It kept going up. They said, no, bro, we hit a million in six months. And then that same month right there we hit another million. So it just started stacking up. It's like around December, November, December. We already in Miami doing shows.
Starting point is 00:44:04 You know what I'm saying? We're talking labels and stuff. We get to the top of the year. January is still, like, it's going even more crazy now. And around January, like, I'm getting ready to make my decision, you know, with the label I want to sign to. So we work all that. I end up signing February 10th.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Capitol Records, right? Yeah, Capitol Records. I signed February 10th, But I didn't announce anything. I really was just trying to stay focused, bro. You get what I'm saying? I didn't want to be all out on it. I signed woody woop. But around that February time, bro, everything just like
Starting point is 00:44:35 pfft. And I was like, yo. Yeah, we saw a takeoff on TikTok. I always wonder, is that like a is that strategic from the label? Is that organic? Bro, everything that happened for Trackstar was organic, bro. All right, we got more with Mooski when we come back. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 00:44:51 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with the new artist, Mooski. Now, I wanted to ask, you said you were a vet, and we have this conversation all the time.
Starting point is 00:45:06 How do you feel about this country taking care of their vets? I kind of feel like the word carry more than the action. They're kind of like, oh, okay, so-and-so was a vet, thank you for your service. But, man, it's some military vets, bro, that got some real stuff going on, bro. I guarantee
Starting point is 00:45:22 most of those homeless veterans, they have, like, mental problems, bro. They get in there, bro, and they go through so much they just like it messes them up mentally bro you know what i mean and they can't return to normal life so like there has to be something like you know they just need help bro did the military have any impact on you in that way when i first went into the military bro like i bought into it so much it kind of turned me into a robot at first like i didn't know how to deal with emotions and stuff like that. I'm like, man, I'm a Marine. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:45:48 We hardcore. But I didn't know how to deal with all the problems I was going through. You know what I'm saying? My dad passed when I was in boot camp. I went home. I was getting close to graduating, so I went home, and it just felt weird. My mom was crying when she saw me. It's like I looked at my pops and stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:03 I didn't know how to deal with that, bro. It made me uncomfortable. I'm like, dang, bro. I'm emotionally numb, bro You feel I'm saying like it just turned me like cold like that So I didn't know how to deal with my problems brush I was handling the wrong way and so over time but all that stuff built up man like like my mental was just like in a crazy in a crazy spot, bro, and It's crazy because that's how I found music to be like my venting tool so that that's really what helped me well let's stay there for a second it had to be something else though did you go to
Starting point is 00:46:29 therapy or anything no but I didn't like counseling no like I didn't know I just I used to talk to people that was it's just something about like talking about stuff like that like I just you know what I'm saying at the time I just couldn't I just couldn't do that cause that black men they already make us sociopaths when we're coming up cause they tell us
Starting point is 00:46:50 not to have any emotion right and then you come from a certain environment you're in the hood you really gotta not show any emotion just to survive sometime
Starting point is 00:46:57 then you go into Marines and they're numbing you even more so it's like you had a lot to unpack man bro look and see,
Starting point is 00:47:05 this is the main reason. When my pops died, bro, I was in boot camp. My dresser came to me and said, he said, hey, man, you can go home
Starting point is 00:47:11 if you want to. But he was like, if it was me, I'd just be like, you know, okay, my dad died. Let's go. In my head,
Starting point is 00:47:18 I was like, dang. I'm like, dang, but this is my senior drill instructor, so I'm like, okay, I'm about to go home, but I'm going to come back. You know, just let me go to the funeral. But yeah, so I did like, dang, but this is my senior drill instructor. So I'm like, okay, I'm about to go home, but I'm going to come back. Just let me go to the funeral.
Starting point is 00:47:28 So I did that, but it changed the way I thought at that time because I was like, okay, he's a Marine. He's been in. He's seasoned. So that's how I got to be. Did you ever regret that? Yeah, for sure, bro. I regret it, but at the same time, I'm glad it happened
Starting point is 00:47:43 because it taught me how important mental health is. You get what I'm saying? Because I started to see how much I changed over time. Because to me, I'm a real outgoing person. But over time, bro, it was affecting me so much, bro. I found myself just going to the room every day, chilling by myself, drinking. Self-medicating. Yeah, I'm like, dang, bro.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Like, what happened to me? Were people calling me, hey, bro, you want to go here this weekend? I'm like, nah, bro. And they're like, bro, they don't sound like you. I thought about it one day. I was like, dang, bro, they really don't. You know what I'm saying? So I started to realize, like, I was depressed.
Starting point is 00:48:15 And what I did, when we get those classes about counseling and stuff, I was just, like, paying attention, looking at all the signs and stuff they had up there. And I'm like, dang, let's get kind of discover my situation right now but i felt like if i could be aware of this then maybe i don't need to go to counseling maybe i could just try to deal with this myself nah that's that's how i felt about it at the time now you gotta go i go to therapy once a week i got a sacred purpose coach i meditate you got you got to deal with it because like you said that's a build up yeah for sure and boy when you snap you snap did you have a snapping moment i don't think i don't think i did a breakdown trying to now at a certain time everything just caught up bro it was just too much going on bro everything that happened
Starting point is 00:48:56 in my life is just like dang bro like at one point man i used to think like like bro we cursed or something bro so much stuff went left bro and it happened, like, back to back to back to back to back to back. I'm like, bro, like, what's going on, bro? You get what I'm saying? So it's, like, it's getting to the point to where, like, when my grandma died, bro, like, I didn't even cry or nothing. Like, bro, like, I'm a little kid growing up in a house where, like, bro, my pops used to go call the ambulance, like, once a week. You get what I'm saying? Like, he was just that sick.
Starting point is 00:49:24 I've seen that, that your mom and dad used to argue about the bills and the ambulance bills. Yeah. Very, man, because, like. I got to be scared. Your dad's sick, but you scared to call the ambulance because you know he might not be able to afford to pay the ambulance bill. Right. Yeah, because, like, I think they told me one time how much it cost. It was like $8,000, $10,000 every time he called or something.
Starting point is 00:49:41 And I'm like, dang. He called it so much because, much because he gets scared, bro, because he got heart problems. And so sometimes that thing will shock him. I forget what it's called. Maybe... The something,
Starting point is 00:49:52 tilitator. Defibrillator. I seen it shock him. And I was on the phone. I was on the phone calling the ambulance. You seen your mom shock him? No, no.
Starting point is 00:49:59 I seen my dad get shot by the defibrillator. My pops, he was screaming. He was screaming when he shot him and stuff. And his body was just like, you know what I'm saying? So I was young when I saw that, but it was just
Starting point is 00:50:09 like, dang, bro. And so whenever my pops used to get sick and call the ambulance, and they're arguing, but I'm like, I'm like, mama, let him go. Let him go. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, I don't want nothing to happen to my pops. And then my mom was going through health problems, too. It got to the point when my dad went to the hospital. But I didn't have to go see him. I'm used to this. You know what I'm saying? I'm used to my pops. And then my mom was going through health problems too. It got to the point where my dad went to the hospital.
Starting point is 00:50:26 But I didn't have to go see him. I'm used to this. You know what I'm saying? I'm used to this. I'm going to school. Hey, your daddy went to the hospital. Oh, okay. He'll be home in two days.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Since you said the music was therapeutic for you, did you ever write about any of those experiences with your family? I wrote a song called I Cry. I recorded it. I never released it. But I think a song called I Cry. I recorded it. I never released it. But I think that song was just like one of those moments to where this had to happen to show me, hey, music is what you need to be doing. I wrote that song, bro.
Starting point is 00:50:54 I woke up. I felt amazing, bro. Right. Yeah. You get what I'm saying? I felt like everything I was dealing with was just gone, bro, because it just built up. That's your therapy.
Starting point is 00:51:02 The music is your therapy. I hear artists say that, and I love that y'all do that, but you still got to sit down and talk to somebody. Like I was saying, I heard. That's your therapy. The music is your therapy. I hear artists say that and I love that y'all do that but you still got to sit down and talk to somebody. Like I was saying, I heard a lot of your records and you express love well.
Starting point is 00:51:12 You're clearly in tune with your feelings in a real way and they always say men don't know how to express their feelings. How did you get to that point when you tell us
Starting point is 00:51:18 you were so emotionally numb? How did you get to the point where you can just express love in records? Even just feeling love from a woman? I don't know, man. I just really sat down How'd you get to the point where you can just express love in records? Even just feeling love from a woman? Word. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Like, I just really sat down, like, and really thought. Like, when I'm writing this music about how I feel, I'm like, how did I really feel? And when I first started doing this, bro, like, it was something like, it was like that pride was still there, bro. Like, man, no, I can't say that in a song, bro. No, I can't, bro. But then I got to thinking about it. I was like, bro like bro it's probably like a million millions of people out there who thinking like i'm thinking right now bro and they just don't speak on it so i was like all right
Starting point is 00:51:54 this is what i'm gonna do i'm gonna swallow my pride for this song you get what i'm saying i'm gonna swallow my pride and and say how i really felt because i think that's that's the best way to get people to relate to my music because Trackstar is one of those songs it's like dang he got up in here you get what I'm saying because I'm saying things
Starting point is 00:52:11 that people they're not just gonna say see and what's crazy about it is that's not stuff that I actually just say but I can say it it's easier for me
Starting point is 00:52:18 to put that in my music than just talk so that's what's crazy about the whole thing a lot of guys want to admit that yeah yeah yeah I mean I ain't gonna lie it took some time to get to that point,
Starting point is 00:52:26 but it's just like, at the end of the day, when you have a vision for something and you've actually chosen to do something, you just realize who you are. Everybody can't express their feelings, so if you can do it, then you can do that for them as well. So, you know what I'm saying? You just got to bite the bullet on it. Like, go ahead and swallow
Starting point is 00:52:45 your pride and, you know, just try to reach people. Alright, now keep it locked. We got more with Mooski when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Mooski. Charlamagne. Who was the woman that cracked the code, though? Because you just told
Starting point is 00:53:01 us how emotionally numb you were. Yeah. In order to write these records, you had to have some inspiration. Who was the woman that bought the code though because you just told us how emotionally numb you were yeah in order to write these records you had to have some inspiration who was the woman that bought you out of that that emotional numbness i mean well you don't have to tell us about the woman but how was that how did the how how was that experience her name is i mean you know like uh because you had to be difficult in a relationship in the beginning. Like I say, man, over time, you learn, man. Me, I really look at life like... And I got to understand when I turned 22.
Starting point is 00:53:33 I might be 24 in June. But at 22, I really slowed down and just really tried to look at life like, let me look at all these series of events that's taking place in my life right now. And let me try to find purpose in all this that's taking place in my life right now and let me try to find purpose in all this let me try to see one why is this happening two what can i do to prevent this from happening again you get what i'm saying so i really try to sit back and uh do a self-eval and really try to learn from stuff you get what i'm saying and really really try to you know what i mean become better every day some things you can't change though yeah like your
Starting point is 00:54:04 father passing away your grandmother passing away there's nothing everyday some things you can't change though yeah like your father passing away your grandmother passing away there's nothing you can do about that that's just life when stuff like that like somebody told me something one day
Starting point is 00:54:13 they said control like worry about what you can control things that are out of your control you know what I mean serenity prayer like
Starting point is 00:54:19 God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference for sure because stress man stress is like very very very dangerous God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. For sure.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Because stress, man, stress is, like, very, very, very dangerous, bro. Absolutely. I never understood that. People used to tell me that, like, man, I'm a kid, bro. You get what I'm saying? I really don't, like, I didn't understand that at that time. But the older I got, bro, because, like, it's like, bro, when I turned 18, I was really on my own for real, bro.
Starting point is 00:54:43 You get what I'm saying? Like, with the problems I'm dealing with, with, I can't go back to my parents and talk about it. Because one, my pop's gone. Two, my mama had a stroke. She can't, you know what I'm saying? She had two of them. Now she can't even talk, do nothing. So it's like, I'm really on my own out here, bro.
Starting point is 00:54:56 You get what I'm saying? So you just got to learn, bro. You just got to learn. Who was your mentors? Did anybody fill those roles? Nah, bro. Damn. Military did, I guess.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Yeah, military, bro. That's probably why you went to the military. See, the thing about it is, though, I really started to think. Like, I really didn't. Even when my pops passed, I really didn't, like, cling to nobody for, like, a father figure role. I just said, because I was like, bro, like, I got a little brother, bro. You get what I'm saying? So I got to get out here.
Starting point is 00:55:21 I got to get out here and get to it, bro, because I got to teach my little brother something. You get what I'm saying? So I'm just out here trying gotta get out here and get to it bro cause I gotta teach my little brother something you get what I'm saying so I'm really I'm just out here trying to learn for myself bro and try to tell my little brother
Starting point is 00:55:31 like where I feel so now I just try to cut it short for him you know what I'm saying what's next for you as far as music is concerned album, EP what's
Starting point is 00:55:39 I know the label's on your back I'm putting together a project right now I'm trying to put together a project right now. I'm trying to put together a project, man, get everybody a body of music that they can feel. I want to give everybody some healing.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Everybody who's dealing with something. How you going to give somebody some healing when you ain't really got no healing yet? I don't know, bro. I feel like I have. I came a long way, and I think that's why all this happened in music. I really started to grow when I started talking about all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:56:06 I think God has blessed me for it. Are you doing a remix of tracks, though? For sure. Is it done yet? No. Is the project called Melodic Therapy? It is. It is, for sure.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Bro, if you went to real therapy, you would be a beast, man. Because, you know, a lot of times we know how we feel, but we don't always know why we feel that way. And I right now you're being transparent it's easy to be transparent but it's different to be vulnerable but you know what i'm saying like once you really get a handle on what those emotions and those feelings are and you like really express that vulnerability oh man be a beast bro i don't know yeah i probably i probably do need to you know what i'm saying check that out it ain't gonna hurt nothing i probably need to check that know what I'm saying, check that out. It ain't going to hurt nothing. I probably need to check that out. You think you would put out that song, I Cry?
Starting point is 00:56:48 Probably. You should put it out, man. Yeah, I probably should because I ain't going to lie to you. That song right there, that's the first time I grieved my father's death, and that was like two years after. You know what I'm saying? There's a lot of people grieving, too, and that could hit home for a lot of people. Yeah, I never thought about that.
Starting point is 00:57:03 So you cried recording it, clearly. Yeah, I cried writing it, for sure. That was just the first time. It felt good, though, bro. It was crazy, bro. You feel me? It was just crazy, bro. How do you think you would have mourned the loss of your father differently
Starting point is 00:57:16 if you had not gone to the Marines? I probably would have mourned it at the funeral. Because right at the viewing and the funeral, bro, I was sitting there like this. You feel what I'm saying? It's like, I was mad,
Starting point is 00:57:29 bro. It's like the only emotion I had was anger, bro. That's fine. I was like, dang, bro.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Like, like, is it like, you know what I'm saying? You should be mad. I was like, dang. And because,
Starting point is 00:57:37 and then I got my little brother, little sister, and older sister, like sitting there. So I'm like, man, I gotta be strong for everybody. I'm the man now.
Starting point is 00:57:43 So I can't, I can't be crying. You feel what I'm saying? Yes, you can. Feel your feels everybody. I'm the man now, so I can't be crying. You feel what I'm saying? Yes, you can. Feel your feels. That's how you felt, though. That's how you felt, though. But you're right.
Starting point is 00:57:50 But anger is a good emotion. There's nothing wrong with it. Like, I think we look at these situations like, well, I'm not supposed to be angry right now. Who says? Nerd. Who says you're supposed to be sad in this moment? You might be angry right now, sad tomorrow, sad two years from now like you were. Nerd.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Who says you got to be whatever in whatever moment you remind me of old dog from menace man you don't see menace society he do he even dressed like him with the sweatshirt you remind me of old dog from menace a little bit why couldn't you just say lorenz tate why i had to be the old dog character you seen minutes before oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oh bro for sure no you didn't look bro i'm but he said like minutes he's the old man let me just laugh with the old okay but old when you're a certain age you say minutes right you know what i mean now that's all you say you want to put a
Starting point is 00:58:44 dream together you said you want to come in the industry and do something that nobody has ever done before. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Do you have that plan in place? I thought you were talking about the remakes. I said I want to put the dream team. Oh, that's what that was. It was for the remakes.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Oh, I thought you were talking about your career. I mean, that too, bro. Like, I definitely, I just want to be different, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like, I look at people like Michael Jackson and Drake. Those two are like the biggies. My two biggest influences when it comes to where I want to go. But I want to put both of them together. I still want to do the pop. I still want to do hip hop.
Starting point is 00:59:17 I still want to do R&B. But I just want to be me, bro. I want to do it in my way. I mean, yeah, I can, you know what I'm saying? You start talking about Michael Jackson. I need to see this move. I rather jig right now. You feel what I'm going to do it in my way. I mean, yeah, I can, you know what I'm saying? You start talking about Michael Jackson, I need to see this move. I rather jig right now, you feel what I'm saying? He don't know what jig means. I'm from the South. I don't know what a jig is. It's just an old school term.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Is the remix locked in already? I mean, we working. We got it in the works right now. We got it in the works right now. You sure you don't want to debut it right here on the Breakfast Club? Yeah, yeah. Is it done yet? I mean, we working on it. the works right now. We got it in the works right now.

Starting point is 00:59:57 He said he want to play the remix right now. Oh, no. I got nothing to do with that. He ain't got nothing to do with that. But yeah. When's it dropping? You can't tell us that easy? Nah.
Starting point is 01:00:09 I'd rather have real work behind it. If I tell you what it is, then I want it to be that. This s*** better be worth it. All right? What was your favorite trick? You better have some amazing people on this record. I need to hear Chris Brown, somebody, Miguel. Man, we gonna play together. Drake, I need to hear.
Starting point is 01:00:22 We gonna play together, right, bro? All right. Now, it's early. I know it's early, but people would say, let's hear the brother sing. Don't do it. He can do it. Oh, my God. He got confidence in himself.
Starting point is 01:00:32 He's got this. He got this. Military. Mosky. Why would you do this to him? Don't do it if you don't feel up to it. What did they say in the military? Stay ready so you got to get ready?
Starting point is 01:00:41 Something like that? You know your vocals better than we do. You might be ready. You may not. If you're not ready, stay ready, so you got to get ready, something like that. You know your vocals better than we do. You might be ready, you may not. If you're not ready, stand down, soldier. Stand down, soldier. Okay. I mean, I don't know. I think I'm kind of hoarse right now, for real, for real.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Hey, man, I'm not judging you. I might be trying to set you up for failure. Introduce your record, then. Yo, it's my new single, Trackstar Alright, here it is right now, it's The Breakfast Club Thank you for joining us, brother Yes sir, I appreciate y'all having me It's The Breakfast Club, good morning
Starting point is 01:01:12 This is The Rumor Report With Angela Yee On The Breakfast Club Alright, well this video has surfaced Of Quavo and Sweetie getting into a scuffle on an elevator. And the altercation was actually obtained by TMZ. There's surveillance footage from that elevator. So we don't know what happened. We know this incident was from 2020.
Starting point is 01:01:40 They said this is from an apartment where Saweetie was renting at the time. And you can see some people are saying it looks like she attempted to hit him. He dodged the hit. Then a bag fell on the ground, a case. He picks it, grabs it. He grabs it. They struggle for it. Then somehow she gets swung around.
Starting point is 01:02:03 I guess he swung her around. I'm not sure if it was her jacket, her arm. She falls on the floor. And, you know, when the elevator doors open, she kind of limps off. So we don't know what the whole situation was. We don't know what happened before this altercation. I see a lot of people weighing in. Some people are siding with Saweetie. Some people are siding with Quavo. Here is what
Starting point is 01:02:26 Trouble had to say. You know what I'm saying? It was a tumble. It was a goddamn tug of war with a call of duty cake. I mean, she just allowed a game, just fell back a little bit. He ain't an abuser. He punch out none of that. I mean, I wouldn't agree with that. That man ain't put his hands on that girl. Hey, boo, stop acting like y'all ain't never been through shit. Why is Trouble the Breakfast Club correspondent on this?
Starting point is 01:03:03 All right, now, I'm telling you different sides of what people have to say. Now, Nia Riley went on social media and said, I know you don't give a F about women because my ex, a whole ass abusive known clown. And you're still entertain him if he can't get canceled. No one can. And she's referencing Soulja Boy when she says that. So everybody's been weighing in and telling their different sides of what they think happened. But only the two of them know at this point what went down in that elevator. I was just curious to how that footage came out. Because, you know, if you go on the elevator, footage is always shooting.
Starting point is 01:03:32 So how would somebody know to go to that time, that direct space at that date? You know, how would you know how to pull up that footage at that time, you know? Yeah, and it's hard to say, you know, they're the only two people who know what happened on the elevator because we saw at least a minute and 30 seconds of it.
Starting point is 01:03:47 You know what I mean? Yeah. But we don't know. We don't know what went down before that. We don't know what happened before they got on the elevator. We don't, you know, so there's a lot you can tell it was in the middle of something.
Starting point is 01:03:56 But I mean, based off that footage, I don't know why anybody has to pick sides. Like I watched the video and it just seems like a very toxic situation for both of them. She's swinging at him. He's moving out the way. And it seems like they're fighting over the bag, grabbing on each other. They both fall. She stays
Starting point is 01:04:10 down. He doesn't attempt to help her up. It's just one of those situations that looks bad on both sides. It looks toxic on both sides. My advice to everyone, men and women, is keep your hands to yourself and before it gets heated, take a walk. Physical altercations are never the answer unless y'all fussing and arguing and it ends up in make-up sex.
Starting point is 01:04:27 That's the only positive physical altercation. Yeah, I tell you, that time when me and my wife was going, like, I guess. When she slammed you? Yeah. Yeah, see, he about to try to make up some finesse lie. She slammed you, bro. You just got slammed. She threw me in a dope fiend.
Starting point is 01:04:42 That's right. Choked you out. Absolutely. I was tapping, like, stop. Stop. Drop on the clues bomb for Gia. Now, I did just say. Come on now, Gia.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Gia knows she should be putting her hands on MV. I did just say that. You just said everybody keep your hands to yourself. You're right. But, hey, if anybody needs to be put in a dope fiend, it's DJ. You know when you're playing at first and then playing goes too far? And she slammed me and had me like choke me. I thought I was going to die.
Starting point is 01:05:08 No, I'm serious. I don't even know what you did. Gia, that was wrong, Gia. I don't know what you did. Keep your hands to yourself, Gia. Gia should have kept her hands to herself, but I'm sure you deserved it. But my point is everybody should keep their hands to themselves. And we just not deserve abuse, okay?
Starting point is 01:05:19 We were playing, guys. It was no abuse. We were playing, but. No, yeah, she was playing. You brought it up, Embiid. You brought it up. When she gets the best of you, she's playing. No, she manhandled playing, guys. It was no abuse. We were playing, but... Now, yeah, she was playing. You brought it up, Envy. When she gets the best of you, she's playing. No, she manhandled you
Starting point is 01:05:29 and you deserved it. But everybody should keep their hands to themselves. That's what I'm saying. Because the truth is, if Envy would have did that to her, that'd be wrong. So everybody has to be accountable.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Right, Envy? 100%. But we were playing in my house. It wasn't serious. No, no, no, no, no, no. Why did you bring it up then? No, because I'm saying, as a couple,
Starting point is 01:05:43 sometimes things go too far and that went too far. We were playing and all of a sudden, I, no. Why did you bring it up then? No, because I'm saying, like, as a couple, sometimes things go too far. And that went too far. Like, we were playing and all of a sudden I almost died. So you're basically saying, like, you're saying what I said. My advice to everybody is men and women, keep your hands to yourself. And before it gets heated, take a walk. I should have walked. You should have walked.
Starting point is 01:05:57 She should have walked. But to Angelique's point, absolutely. Everybody keep their hands to themselves, man. You know what I mean? Like, you know, nobody should be putting hands on each other. Period. Well, you know, I hate the fact that this all has to be public for us to see, but they're not together anymore.
Starting point is 01:06:12 So we don't know if this was the beginning of the end for them. We don't know if they've been having issues. We just don't know. We don't know what happened, yeah. Yeah, even though we just saw what we saw. She swung at him. He moved. Seemed like they're fighting over the bag.
Starting point is 01:06:24 They grab each other. They both fall. She stays down. He doesn. Seemed like they're fighting over the bag. They grab each other. They both fall. She stays down. He doesn't attempt to help her up, which was wild. That was wild. Yeah. I've seen that, too. That was wild.
Starting point is 01:06:31 It just looks toxic on both sides. All right. Now, Steve Harvey is going to be hosting the Earth, Wind & Fire. Isley Brothers versus. That should be interesting. Why that make so much sense? That's going to be happening on April 4th. That's going to be this Sunday, Easter Sunday. Why Why that make so much sense? And that's going to be happening on April 4th. That's going to be this Sunday, Easter Sunday.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Why does that make so much sense? Steve got to wear, he got to wear an old school Steve Harvey suit. Big ass suit. Steve, you got to pull out an old school Steve Harvey suit one time for the culture, man. I don't think he got those no more. He got them. I'm sure he got a few in storage somewhere.

Starting point is 01:10:20 Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Goldman.
Starting point is 01:10:53 Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. or a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them balls, man. They want Charlamagne to tap them gloves.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day. They chose you. It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Well, Donkey of the Day from Wednesday, March 31st goes to a 38-year-old man named Brandon Elliott. Who the hell is Brandon Elliott?
Starting point is 01:11:47 I have no idea. I only know what I've learned in the past 12 hours. But if you have seen the video of the 65-year-old, I think she was Asian, Asian and Filipino woman, walking down the street and then a man who looks like he could be a member of the New Day and the WWE kicks the woman in the stomach, okay, knocks her to the ground, then proceeds to stomp on her face while screaming anti-Asian slurs and telling her, you don't belong here, okay? The woman has been identified as Vilma Khari.
Starting point is 01:12:14 She was discharged from the hospital yesterday after being treated for serious injuries. So I am sending her love, light, and healing energy this morning, okay? And I wish that I was there to stab Brandon Elliott. Okay? Well, I don't wish that. I wish this whole situation never happened. But based off those circumstances, I wish I was there or somebody was there to do something to Brandon Elliott.
Starting point is 01:12:38 A stabbing would have been nice. What are you talking about, Charlamagne? What situation? Well, let's go to ABC7NY for the report, please. The man charged in this case was out on lifetime parole for stabbing his own mother back in 2002. He served 17 years behind bars and again was out on parole when this happened, but has been arrested in this brutal attack that happened right here in front of this building in broad daylight. Now, 38-year-old Brandon Elliott was arrested late last night walking into the
Starting point is 01:13:03 Four Points Sheraton Hotel that is now a homeless shelter where he's been staying only blocks away the scene. The man who was arrested last night was arrested in the neighborhood of the neighborhood of the neighborhood of the four-point Sheraton Hotel that is now a homeless shelter where he has been staying only blocks away
Starting point is 01:13:17 from the crime scene here on West 43rd Street. He was cuffed after this brutal attack that was caught on camera Monday morning of a 65-year-old Asian woman as she was knocked to the ground,
Starting point is 01:13:22 stomped and kicked as she was on her way to church. She remains hospitalized with a broken pelvis this morning. Elliott is now charged with assault as a hate crime among other charges. As for the two security guards that were working in front of this building where this happened, there's video of them actually shutting the doors as this attack was happening. We know that they are now suspended from their job.
Starting point is 01:13:39 They need to be fired. A broken pelvis. I can't explain to you the way I feel when I see cowardly ass people doing things like this to the elderly. I don't care what the race of the person is. When I see a 65 year old woman get beat up by a 38 year old man, my mind goes to my mom, my aunts, you know, and if you would do that to a 65 year old woman, you would do that to anybody.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Therefore, no one is safe. And clearly, Brandon Elliott has some type of mental issues, okay. There is no reason he should have been on the street to begin with. In 2002, like you just heard, when he was 19, he was convicted of murdering his own mother. He stabbed his own mother to death. We spoke about this earlier this week
Starting point is 01:14:15 in regards to the 13 and 15-year-old girls who carjacked the Uber Eats driver, and the Uber Eats driver ended up dead, and now they've been charged with murder. What should happen to kids who make those kind of mistakes? 19 is an adult. OK, he went to prison for like 17 years, came home. I think I read in 2019. Yeah, he came home in 2019. So now he commits a crime like this. Clearly, prison is not the answer.
Starting point is 01:14:39 If prisons were actually correctional facilities, then yes. OK, you put this guy, Brandon Elliott, in a prison and you immediately get to see what the hell is going on with him psychologically. Okay. When it comes to mental health, if a 19 year old man kills his mom, stabs his mom, you have to know he needs more than just discipline. Okay. Especially if you plan on releasing him, even if it's 17 years later, you got to know that whatever trauma, pain, hurt, or whatever psychosis this guy has that caused him to kill his mother only got worse after 17 years, especially if he wasn't really being treated. And if y'all were treating this guy for his mental health issues, if he was seeing a psychiatrist in jail,
Starting point is 01:15:15 there's no way such psychiatrists would recommend this guy be released. I know he's on lifetime parole, but what the hell does that mean? All right, they arrested a dude at a hotel-turned-homeless shelter in New York. I hardly doubt, I don't know here. I hardly doubt, though, there's any psychological evaluations going on there. I don't know. I just know this dude shouldn't have been on the street. OK, if you attack a 65 year old woman in broad daylight, two blocks from Times Square in a heavily policed area, Midtown Manhattan. Something is clearly wrong with you. Now, let's talk about this area. I said it was heavily policed. It usually ishattan something is clearly wrong with you now let's talk about this area i said it was heavily policed it usually is but where were they police are always policing the
Starting point is 01:15:50 people who don't need the police to never around when things like this happen and i have to give some of this hee-haw to the two security guards who are in the video who were suspended and rightfully so they need to be fired two security guards who just sat there and watched did nothing in fact one of the security guards went and closed the building door. Didn't intervene when this dude was beating this woman and didn't even offer any aid after the fact. Cowards. And coward is not a strong enough word. I just see these things and I say to myself, how did y'all get here?
Starting point is 01:16:21 The stork? I'm serious. Guys like this make me believe the German folklore about storks finding babies in caves and bringing them to households in a basket. I'm lying. I've never believed such nonsense and I don't know why you would either. But the reason I say that is because when you allow things like that to happen to any woman, in particular an older woman, I tend to think you have zero emotional connection to any woman in your life whatsoever how do you see this situation and not picture that being your grandma your mama your wife your daughters your best girlfriends like
Starting point is 01:16:51 that's really a peter parker uncle ben moment remember when peter parker let that dude rob the wrestling promoter who owed him money he just let the guy go and the guy left and ended up killing his uncle ben that's what happens when we the people stand around and let people get away with stuff like this brandon ell is clearly violent, clearly unstable. Killed his own mother in 2002, and now in 2021, he's beating up elderly women in the street for no reason. Do you think women in your life are safe with guys like that on the street? Don't wait until drama knocks on your front door to do and say something.
Starting point is 01:17:19 You could have stabbed a guy right then and there. It was two or three security guards of nice size, by the way. They could have beat the hell out of Brandon Elliott right then and there and It was two or three security guards of nice size, by the way. They could have beat the hell out of Brandon Elliott right then and there and would have been considered heroes this morning. Y'all were in a position that a bunch of folks want to be in. And that's the I wish a nigga would position, okay?
Starting point is 01:17:35 My brother Wax and I talk about that all the time. Every time one of these traumatic videos come across the timeline, we see some guy beating up on an elderly person, we sit back and say, I wish a nigga would do something like this in front of us. Wax calls those freebies.
Starting point is 01:17:49 Okay? Wax is a person that also likes to fight. So he's always looking for a reason. You can't find a more righteous one than this. And you security guards, who should not be security guards ever again because you failed to secure and guard Bill McCary, your name should be out there so folks can properly identify you. But the moral of the story is, we have to beat people like Brandon Elliott up.
Starting point is 01:18:09 OK, if you are a man or even a woman with a gun, when you see the elderly among us being attacked, you have to intervene. Respect and protect your elders. Respect and protect your elders, because someday and sooner than you could imagine, you will be old and need to be respected and protected, too. Please give Brandon Elliott and those cowardly ass security guards who stood around and did nothing the biggest hee-haw. Matter of fact, let Remy Ma give him the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw.
Starting point is 01:18:41 You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Mm-hmm. Up next, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:18:53 If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Come on. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need relationship advice need personal advice just need real advice call up now for ask ye morning everybody it's dj envy angela e charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club it's time for ask ye hello who's this miss y Yeo Lee. Hey, good morning, Mama. What's up?
Starting point is 01:19:25 What's your question for Yee? I got a question. I want to know what do I do in a situation where I've been kind of dating this guy for about a year. So he invited me on a couple's trip, but we kind of got into it, and he invited someone else. But he expects me to be okay with it and expects me to just go back to normal after the weekend trip that they have. Are you okay with it? I'm not
Starting point is 01:19:53 okay with it. Okay, well then he can't expect that. You react how you react and you feel how you feel. I would be highly offended if I'm with somebody we have a trip planned and then it doesn't work out because we got into an argument and you bring another chick. That just lets me know where I stand.
Starting point is 01:20:10 He got in his feelings because he asked me to reach out to the couple that's actually planning the trip for their anniversary and he got in his feelings because me and her was discussing places that we could stay in. I wasn't comfortable staying in crummy-ass places if I'm going out of town.
Starting point is 01:20:27 So we got into it and me and him spoke outside of that in reference to that and we kind of said, okay, I'm not going, whatever, blah, blah, blah, and then here it comes. You're picking a whole other woman, but you just approached me trying
Starting point is 01:20:42 to say that you want to court me the right way and we want to try to, you know, do something with one another. And then here it is. Man, actions speak louder than words. Period. And that's what I said to him. But he feels like, oh, it's my fault. You shouldn't feel no type of way because you're not going.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Because he begged me. But I planned a whole other trip outside of that. But it's not like I planned a trip with another man. I planned a trip with my child. FYI, you know what they say. Don't pee on me and tell me it's raining, okay? Exactly. He's told you exactly how he feels about you.
Starting point is 01:21:15 Oh, you can't come? Well, I'll just bring the next chick. It's replaceable. You're not showing me that you're trying to be with me. I'm not going to talk to her no more after the trip, but I just... Come on now. Come on. Did this trip happen already with me? I'm not going to talk to her no more after the trip. Come on now. Come on. Did this trip happen already? No, it's actually going to happen this weekend.
Starting point is 01:21:31 If you go for that, you'll go for anything. And that's his test right there. Let me see if I could just bring another girl on this trip that I was supposed to bring you on and I could still talk to. You think that he deserves to have his cake and eat it too like that? Blah, blah, blah. And then here it is. I'm like, nah.
Starting point is 01:21:47 And then he says, well, people cheat all the time. We can get back to this. I'm like, but we're not together for one. So it's not cheating. But at the same time, you just told me that you wanted to try to be with me this and the other. And then you're taking a whole nother walk. Right.
Starting point is 01:22:01 Thank you for your honesty. I'll be like, thank you for your honesty. Goodbye. Exactly. Crazy. Yeah, come your, I'll be like, thank you for your honesty. Goodbye. Exactly. Crazy. Yeah, come on. You deserve better than that. Don't tell me you trying to,
Starting point is 01:22:10 don't tell me you trying to be with me and then this weekend you about to be away with another woman. That's crazy. Exactly. And then you come out,
Starting point is 01:22:16 we're not going to talk this weekend, but you want to talk to me now and then talk to me after the weekend. It doesn't make sense. I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:22 Nope. Not a good sign. You already know. Exactly. Okay. Good luck. Thank you. Hell no. Yeah. Nope. Not a good sign. You already know. Exactly. Okay. Good luck. Thank you. Move on.
Starting point is 01:22:29 Find you a man that's going to take you on a trip and y'all go together and not bring another girl and tell you about it and think you're going to be cool with it after.
Starting point is 01:22:35 That's ridiculous. That just sounds crazy. It sounds very crazy. It's ridiculous. Thank you. All right, my mom. You're welcome. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:22:44 All the guys are going to be in my comments like, oh, Angela always sides with the woman. No, no, no, no, no. That ain't siding with the woman. That's what's smart. If he decides, look, we got an argument. I'm going to take another chick. No, I don't need to be there.
Starting point is 01:22:54 That means you feel unflageable. There you go, Envy. You don't need to be there, Envy. You deserve more. To the left, to the left. But they're not a couple, though. Right, and he said he's trying to be. But if he's trying to be a couple,
Starting point is 01:23:04 he's going to drop me and then go with somebody else? I want some company. You don't want to go. I got to call up another option. But that's why I asked her. Is she okay with it? She said she's not okay with it. If you're not okay with it, you're not. It is what it is. I think she wanted to be
Starting point is 01:23:20 asked again. She wanted him to be like, no, why don't you really come with me? That didn't work. He took somebody out. It's like when Cockroach and Theo was going into the party. That's an old reference. But they were just waiting on the last... Theo was like, when he asks me this time, I'm going to go in. Cockroach was like, nope, I'm good.
Starting point is 01:23:36 Alright. He was waiting for that third question. It never came. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, hit Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Antla Yee. It's Ask Yee.
Starting point is 01:23:52 Hello, who's this? What's up, man? What's up, bro? What's your question for Yee? So I was asking Yee, so I've been dealing with a female for a little bit, right? And she ready for a relationship,
Starting point is 01:24:03 and I ain't, right? But we've been living together and everything, you know. Hold on, hold on. Y'all live together but you're not ready for a relationship? Yeah, because it's kind of like, I don't know, man. Like, you know, we both been through the struggle, man.
Starting point is 01:24:18 That is a mixed signal right there. So you live with me, but we not in a relationship. So y'all are just roommates? Yeah, but see, you gotta, it's like this, man. Like, you know, it's time for us to save money and get things afloat. Like, if I had my own, you know, my own mortgage to rent, she had hers.
Starting point is 01:24:37 It would kind of be like getting in the way because we'd have to use that. I heard him talking about yesterday, too, about the business thing, how you got to use all your personal assets, you know what I'm saying, to put it to your business. That's kind of what we've been doing. So, so far as that, it kind of helped us save money, but that was just, you know. So, what is your relationship to her? I mean, like, let her tell it, like, we best friends. Like, you know, that's my eight. I ain't gonna lie to you. I'm a loner. I don't really deal with nobody like that. So, you know, that's my eight, though. That's the only person I talk to.
Starting point is 01:25:05 You know what I mean? And stuff like that. But I'm not really ready for a relationship, number one. Or, like, kind of attracted to her like that. Because I still want to do my thing. You know? But no, wait. Okay, I got to ask you this.
Starting point is 01:25:19 So, y'all sleep together? You talking about the same bed? Like, do you guys have sex with each other? Yeah, yeah, but it's like a one-air blue moon thing. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:25:32 Like, one-air other month, maybe, you know what I'm saying? Stuff like that. So, you know, and I want to do my thing with other people, too, but she getting her feeling. So, you all sleep in the...
Starting point is 01:25:41 So, you sleep in the same bed every night? Or you have your own room? Yeah, yeah, we got our own little spot. Are you lying? We can, we can. It's kind of like a roommate thing. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:25:52 She got kids, she got kids. I got a son, you know what I'm saying? Okay, so this is where it's confusing. So you all sleep together sometimes. You have sex with each other sometimes. You guys are best friends. You live together. You live together. You work together.
Starting point is 01:26:07 Of course, she's ready for a relationship because you're doing a lot of relationship things. Yeah, look at that in that perspective. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:26:18 It's kind of hot. It's just like me dealing with a female. Let's say I was dealing with a chick. She had her own spot. You know what I'm saying? So you live with her? Huh? So you live with her?
Starting point is 01:26:26 Huh? So you live with her? Are you using her? No, no, no. No, I don't need to use her. I got my own business. Like, she went to school for bed, but you know, I got to kind of like... I just want to
Starting point is 01:26:41 say this. It's not fair to her, because you're going to end up really hurting her. And if this is somebody that you care about... Should to say this it's not fair to her because you're gonna end up really hurting her and if this is somebody That you care about You should move out You guys are gonna be together because you guys live together You should stop sleeping with her if you don't want to be with her if you care about her You should move out because she's thinking he's here we're gonna end up together and it and i could see why she would think that well at the end of the day what i left out to
Starting point is 01:27:10 her is like it's too much stuff we got to get together first like she just got a side so boy i just you know what i'm saying i just got one you know what i'm saying so it's kind of like it's a lot of stuff we need to get together for that's why i've been putting up the thing on hold like so far the female she everything i want but at the end of the day i ain't gonna steal It's a lot of stuff we need to get together for. That's why I've been putting the thing on hold. So far, I've been being there. She's everything I want. But at the end of the day, I ain't going to let her steal my thing publicly. I'm confused. So you do kind of want to be with her, but you just want to have an open relationship.
Starting point is 01:27:35 It's a lot of things we need to work on. You get what I'm saying? It's a lot of things that both of us need to work on. You know what I'm saying? I'm focused more on life, getting our stuff together. I, I'm focused more on life, like getting our stuff together. So that just in case, like, because I'm not going to commit to nobody until I get my stuff together. You feel me? Like all the way together.
Starting point is 01:27:51 Well, part one, get your own place. So she stops thinking you guys are in a relationship. You see each other every night. That doesn't help. So that's the main thing, though, right? Mm-hmm. Get yourself together separately. Okay? Getting yourself together means Get yourself together separately, okay?
Starting point is 01:28:08 Getting yourself together means getting your own place, deciding what you want. Because even right now on this call, I'm getting mixed messages from you. It's like you kind of think maybe further on down the line, you might want to be with her. So it's like you're keeping her there in limbo, but you still want to do what you want.
Starting point is 01:28:23 So you want to say, I don't want to be with you, so that you're free to do what you want because you feel like it's justified because you told her i don't want to be with you but then you're sleeping with her sometimes and y'all live together and you know she wants to be with you it's not fair to her all right go on ahead and find a place all right no problem you know laughing i wasn't going to tell you to live there and keep sleeping with her, but be doing what you want. All right. That's ASCII. ASCII, 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Now, that's ASCII. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and Jeezy and Jeannie Mai, it looks like their wedding day is approaching soon, and we'll tell you one way that we know it's about to go down. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:29:06 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:29:15 That's right, and acknowledging the two-year, I don't know, I guess you say anniversary of the late, great Nipsey Hussle transitioning.
Starting point is 01:29:24 Yes. So, RIP Nipsey. Absolutely. And love and light to his family. Absolutely. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Michael Strahan. It's about time.
Starting point is 01:29:34 What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Michael Strahan got rid of his gap. And I mean that gap between his front teeth.
Starting point is 01:29:50 And here's what he had to say. If I go home and say I'm going to do it, it'll be a don't do it. If I post, it'll be don't do it. If I talk to my friends, it'll be don't do it. If I talk to my business partner, it'll be like don't do it. But I got to do what I want wanna do for myself now, you know? Now, it makes me wonder how confident Michael Scrahan ever was in his gap. He used to wear it with pride, it was
Starting point is 01:30:11 his calling card, but now he got it filled. Was he ever really confident in it? Maybe he was, maybe he just wanted to change. You know who else recently did that? Nina Parker, right? You know her from E! And she was a TMZ reporter and hosted the Love & Hip Hop Reunion. And
Starting point is 01:30:27 she also recently got rid of her gab. I remember she posted, I did a thing. And I guess, you know, whatever it is, sometimes there's just some things that you feel like it bothers you. Yeah, I just wonder, because when you wear something with such pride, right? And it's your calling card. And, you know, I wonder when you do
Starting point is 01:30:44 get it filled in, do you owe people an explanation as to why? Just do it because you feel like it. But even if you've worn it as a symbol of pride? That's his team. And used it as a calling card. He said he made the, he used to say, I made the conscious effort to say, this is who I am. And he said, I rock my gap with pride.
Starting point is 01:30:58 It's who I am. He said that just a few days beforehand. But sometimes there's, I have this birthmark, a strawberry birthmark on my face, like right above my lip. And when I was younger, I used to want to get rid of it, you know, just because
Starting point is 01:31:12 it kind of is annoying people. Like, what is that? What's wrong? What's going on here? But sometimes you feel like you're born a certain way. Should you just keep it? And I guess he decided not to.
Starting point is 01:31:22 Yeah, because you just wonder, because, you know, if you've inspired people and people look at you as a symbol of inspiration, like, oh, Michael Scrahan got a gap. So my gap is cool, too. But then you get your field. Then it's kind of like you abandon them a little bit. That's all.
Starting point is 01:31:31 He said he just wanted to explore what he would look like without that. Got you. Yeah. And he said he loves it. So nothing wrong with that. Right. But let's not forget tomorrow is April Fool's Day. So I just want to remind you all that because, you know, there's April Fool's Day things happening everywhere.
Starting point is 01:31:49 So who knows? And it's good to get started early on your April Fool's joke. Right. You got to start planning now. I feel bad that I warned everybody because I know a bunch of people have some April Fool's Day jokes planned. No one was thinking about it, but now everybody's on guard. Okay. All right. Jeezy and Jeannie Mai have applied for their marriage license, according to the Fulton County Court Clerk in Georgia. They came in Monday to get the documents that they needed to become husband and wife. So now they have six months.
Starting point is 01:32:16 So once you get that license, then it's only valid for six months. So then you have to reapply after that. But maybe that means pretty soon they're planning to get married. Shout to Jeezy. Shout to Jeannie Ma. Marriage is a beautiful thing. Marriage or die. That should be the wedding invitations.
Starting point is 01:32:30 Whoa. I'm serious. Got a trap or die. Marriage or die. Marriage or die. So marriage is a trap? So you're replacing the word trap with marriage? Yes.
Starting point is 01:32:38 That doesn't mean marriage is a trap. I'm getting rid of the word trap. It's a whole different word. Okay. All right. I'm just saying it was trap. Britney Spears says that she's embarrassed by that new documentary about her life. And she broke her silence on the framing Britney Spears doc.
Starting point is 01:32:53 You know, a lot of people have been speaking on this and talking about how badly Britney Spears has been treated over the years. She said she didn't watch the entire documentary, but she really didn't like the little bit that she did see. She said, my life has always been very speculated, watched and judged really my whole life for my sanity. I need to dance to Steven Tyler every night of my life to feel wild and human and alive. I've been exposed my whole life performing in front of people. It takes a lot of strength to trust the universe with your real vulnerability because I've always been so judged, insulted, and embarrassed by the media. And I still am to this day. As the world keeps on turning and life goes on,
Starting point is 01:33:27 we still remain so fragile and sensitive as people. I didn't watch the documentary, but from what I did see of it, I was embarrassed by the light they put me in. I cried for two weeks. And while I still cry sometimes, I do what I can in my own spirituality with myself to try and keep my own joy, love, and happiness. Everyday dancing brings me joy. I'm not here to be perfect. Perfect is boring. i'm here to pass on kindness yeah i didn't like it
Starting point is 01:33:49 either i'm lying i didn't see it i just felt like you know i felt like you know you didn't see it i went too long without lying on this one on this morning on the radio so i just wanted to tell a lie real quick all right now chet hanks and his ex-girlfriend are you know going at it and tmz has obtained a video what chet hanks says is the end of an altercation between him and his ex kiana parker that turned violent back on january 8th this was at chet hanks place in sugarland texas now chet hanks turns the camera on Kiana. She looks like she's trying to hit him, and she's also holding a pot. And then Chet reappears, and he's bloody. And he says that she charged at him with a knife.
Starting point is 01:34:32 Listen to this. This bitch just attacked me with a knife. No, I didn't. Did I attack you with a knife? This bitch just attacked me with a knife. Did I attack you with a knife? No, no. You pushed me. You pushed me, no. You pushed me.
Starting point is 01:34:46 You pushed me. Wow. You pushed me. Now you're trying to flip the story. She's mad because I caught her stealing. Stealing my money.
Starting point is 01:34:55 Taking my credit cards and charging her rent to them. All this s*** like that. We just told y'all earlier during the Quavo and Saweetie story. Everyone keep your hands to yourself. Chet Hanks is on camera. He's bleeding. He's saying she came at him with a knife. Everybody keep your hands to yourself. And the crazy part about this Chet situation, nobody's going to care about that.
Starting point is 01:35:16 That's not even going to go viral today. And she also had gotten a restraining order against him in January. She says that he roughed her up on multiple occasions. And he is saying that, and he's, by the way, filed a lawsuit against her over that incident. He says it started because he broke things off with her after learning that she'd been stealing. And he also claims that she showed up that day with three men, one of whom he says flashed a gun at him. He's suing for assault and battery theft and return of the money that she allegedly stole. You think he started doing the Jamaican accent when the gun got pulled on him just to try to scare them? No.
Starting point is 01:35:50 You don't think so? This guy will quote every Jay-Z joint he possibly knows. This guy will quote everything. A gun in your face and that's all that you can come up with? Who do you have blood clots to walk with? Now for her version of the event she says she came by his place to get her stuff with movers
Starting point is 01:36:05 and that he was antagonizing her and he grabbed a knife in a menacing way and that's when she grabbed the pot in self-defense and swung it and then ran. Yeah, I don't like violence. I don't like nobody putting their hands on each other. But I would definitely pay to see Chet Hayes get a gun pulled on him and then he start doing the Jamaican accent to try to scare the gunman. No. You know Blood Cloth Wit?
Starting point is 01:36:24 You do not know who you're up with? A gun in your face and that's what you come up with? hold on a minute. He started doing the Jamaican accent to try to scare the gun. No, you know, blood clot wit. You don't, you don't know. You do not know who you're with a gun in your face. And that's all right. Well, that is your room. That's good entertainment. Y'all would pay to see that. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 01:36:34 All right. Revolt. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else. The people's choice mixes up next. You know, we got to start the mix off with some nipsy. So let's get to it. It's the breakfast club.
Starting point is 01:36:42 Good morning. The breakfast club. Your mornings will never be the same. When a train hits a vehicle at a railway crossing, the results are often deadly. Be cautious at crossings and if the signals are going, don't be tempted to try and sneak across the tracks
Starting point is 01:36:55 even if you don't see a train. Stop. Trains can't. Brought to you by NHTSA. WWPR FMHD1 New York. And iHeart Radio Station. Morning everybody. It's. Envy. Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's Women's History Month. Who are we doing today? Today we are celebrating the vice chairman and managing director at Morgan Stanley, Carla Ann Harris. Now, I love her background. She was born in Port Arthur, Texas, raised in Jacksonville, Florida. She actually was a singer at an early age. By the time she was 13, she was singing in both Catholic and Baptist choirs.
Starting point is 01:37:30 And then she went to Harvard University. She actually graduated with her degree in economics and received her master's in business administration from Harvard Business School. She also was so she is an acclaimed gospel singer. She even performed a solo concert at Carnegie Hall and released her first album, Carla's First Christmas, that was featured on the Evening News with Dan Rather. And it was one of the top selling albums. But now she is the vice chairman and managing director at Morgan Stanley. She's been named by Fortune magazine among the 50 most powerful black executives in corporate America.
Starting point is 01:38:03 Black Enterprise named her one of the top 50 African-Americans on Wall Street. Essence Magazine named her among the 50 women who are shaping the world. And Harvard's Black Men's Forum named her Woman of the Year in 2004. We love to see black women in these spaces because, frankly, there's not enough of us. And here is Carla Ann Harris doing her TED Talk. It's Women's History Month, and we're celebrating the most influential women in history. Check out this phenomenal woman. I cannot tell you how important it is to have a sponsor. It is the critical relationship in your career. It is so critical that you should ask yourself
Starting point is 01:38:43 regularly, who's carrying my paper into the room, who's carrying my paper into the room? Who's carrying my paper into the room? And if you can't answer who's carrying your paper into the room, then I will tell you to divert some of your hardworking energies into investing in a sponsored relationship, because it will be critical to your success. If you have been invited into the room, know that you have a seat at that table.
Starting point is 01:39:09 And if you have a seat at the table, you have a responsibility to speak. If somebody is worthy of your currency, spend it. One thing I have learned after several decades on Wall Street is the way to grow your power is to give it away. And your voice is at the heart of your power. Use it. And that was another phenomenal woman in history.
Starting point is 01:39:37 All right, well, at the end of Women's History Month, we are celebrating Carla Ann Harris, Vice Chairman and Managing Director at Morgan Stanley.
