Police department murdered my husband on May 11th. I've been trying to email Charlemagne Degas so they could give him the donkey of the day because they don't want to.

They haven't said the police who did it. They haven't. They're still working. If you Google him, his name is Andrew, A-N-D-R-E-W. They denied him medical treatment when he said that he couldn't breathe and he's so busy. The officers took it upon themselves to deny him this. They were his judge, his jury, and his executioner. And I do not have my husband no more.

Wow, this is really sad. I'm looking it up right now. This is awful. Yes, it is. Oh, my God. Where are you from, baby? I am from the Bronx. He is from the Bronx.

He was visiting a friend. And they denied him medical treatment. Please, Charlemagne, the God, I need you to give them donkey of the day. I need you to help me get justice for him. I need you to find the answers that I'm looking for because me and my children and everybody, we do not know what happened to him. It's been over a month and we still, I still

don't know the officers. They're still working. Let's get our information. We'll do some homework and we'll look it up and make sure we have all the right information and try to do something for you, information. And then he was so unresponsive by the time he arrived at the police department. And you right in the Bronx. You right in the Bronx. You right in the Bronx.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We are The Breakfast Club, and we got a special guest in the building with us this morning. Charlemagne Tha God. Oh God. Welcome Charlamagne. Nobody cleared this.

I have The View this morning. I have The Elvis Duran Show. I have The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The Breakfast Club is not on my schedule. Now you might know Charlamagne from his hit show The Breakfast Club. Right. You also might know him from his podcast Brilliant Idiots or from Uncommon Sense, a show that he has on MTV. His talk show, right?

And now he's here with us. He has a book out today. It's Charlamagne Tha God's Black Privilege. Opportunity comes to those who create it. My first book. So tell us about this book for people who don't know. Why black privilege? Because I feel like it's a privilege to be black.

And I feel like when you're talking about black privilege, you're talking about something spiritual. When you're talking about white privilege, you're talking about something spiritual. When you're talking about white privilege, you're talking about something systemic. And I feel like we have access to a divine system that helps us to prosper in this country in spite of all the obstacles we have faced. Do you think you alienate the white people or Asian people or any other body that buys or purchases the book? No, absolutely not for two reasons. Number one, I feel like we all have to access our own individual privileges. I feel like everybody has their own individual privileges

and I also feel that, you know, I grew up reading things that didn't pertain to me. That's one of the greatest pieces of advice my mom ever gave me. Read things that don't pertain to you. I used to read Judy Blume and Beverly Clearly and I didn't know nothing about them little white girls and white boys that was in that book. I think it's Beverly Cleary, but I used to read all of those books as well.

Yes. Now, you've been fired. You must increase your butts. Go, Charlamagne. Okay. You've been fired so many times. What gave you the drive to keep going and not say, you know what, I'm going to quit and go back to South Carolina? Oh, I did at one point.

FYI, it's in the book. I absolutely did quit and take my back to South Carolina. It got to a low point.. It's in the book. I absolutely did quit. It got to a low point. He was living in the projects in Brooklyn. It wasn't the projects in Brooklyn. I mean, it was my no, read the book. It wasn't the projects. You make things sound so bad. Charlamagne, can we get a little

juicy here, okay? We're just trying to help. And then you had to go back home. You got evicted actually. I did get evicted. When I got fired from Philadelphia, I was I just couldn't afford to live there because it was just my wife's salary, my wife's income. She was my girlfriend at the time. And we had, I think my daughter was like maybe two or three at the time. Were you on welfare? No, we weren't on welfare.

I just was too proud to go and get them unemployment checks. I got them when I went to South Carolina, though. I was way too proud at first when I got fired from Philly to go collect that unemployment. So we packed up and I went back to live with my mom. Now, Charlamagne, I gotta ask you this. You know, you discussed a lot of things that happened in your past. You talk about interviewing Cassie

on an unfortunate time for her. A lot of things had happened that week. Are there any regrets that you have in how you've perhaps done interviews or maybe been a bit harsh? My only regret that I, two regrets. The little mama situation

only because that was set up bad from the beginning. Even though I did tell Angela the day before. Stop it. Don't blame me. But the Floyd Mayweather audio, that was bad. And the reason I felt like that was bad is because, like, everybody in this room told me not to play it. And I was really doing it for the wrong reasons.

Like, I just wanted to do it because I knew that it would garner attention. And I never move like that. Come on, be honest, guys. Am I ever malicious? Like, be for real. If somebody's malicious, be true. If somebody's malicious, be true. But other than that, nah, not really.

In that situation, I was really just like, you know what? Jimmy Kimmel says he wants me to be on the show. We got the audio right here. We playing it. And everybody in this room told me not to. And I didn't get in no trouble for it. My spirit just didn't agree with it. Now let me ask you a question. What made you give up your rap

career when your name was Dizzy Van Winkle? What made you say, you know what? Rapping is not for me. Well, I got a principle in my book called F Your Dreams. Anybody that listens to The Breakfast Club or listens to the podcast knows I love to tell people F their dreams. And it's F your dreams when it's not your dream. A lot of times when we're young African

Americans and we see people that are successful who look like us, they're usually in entertainment and athletics. So we chase those fields and go towards those fields. But that's not really our dream. We just see it working for somebody else. So for me, I wanted to rap and then when I got into radio I saw what Ludacris was doing

and he went from radio to rap and I was like, oh, I'm going to do that. But I had a great mentor named Dr. Robert Evans. So Dr. Robert Evans, Rochdale Queen, he dropped on the Clues Bond for him. He told me I suck at rapping. He told me I suck at rapping and I need to focus on radio. And that's exactly what I did.

Let's take your calls if you got questions for Charlamagne. 800-585-1051. And you know the Breakfast Club, we do our homework. And one more thing. I just want to say success is subjective. I know it's easy for people to look at us and say, hey, you know, it's easy for y'all to say these things because of the positions that y'all are in. But y'all, what's a dude right now in Charlotte, North Carolina that's making $40,000 a year? He got him a nice little place to stay. He got him a car.

His family good. His girl good. His kid good. And he's happy. That's right. That's success, baby. That's all that matters. Being happy. That's why I say money is subjective. What is making money? Absolutely. It's just being happy. Because if we base success off you know, if we base happiness off success, guess what? It's always people out here

more happy than everybody sitting in this room right now. Absolutely. Well, like I said, the Breakfast Club, we do our homework, and we were able to find a Dizzy Van Winkle song. Oh. If you don't know who Dizzy Van Winkle is, it is Charlamagne Tha God. That's a lie. And let's get the song on.

It's a lie. And it fits so well. This is such a lie. It's called Pink T. I've heard this. By the way. Let's play it. We don't have to do this. We don't have to do. Let's play it. We don't have to do this.

We don't have to do this. Turn it up. We don't have to do this. Turn it up. In my pink tee. Huh? In my pink tee. Yeah.

Drop one or two songs. In my pink tee. Huh? In my pink tee. Yeah. In my pink tee. What? In my pink tee.

Huh? In my pink tee. Yeah. In my pink tee. What? In my pink tee. Huh? In my pink tee. I look fruity in my pink tee. Weird in my pink tee. Yeah. In my pink tee. What? In my pink tee. Huh? In my pink.

I look fruity in my pink tee. Weird in my pink tee. People think that I go both ways in my pink tee. I look sweet in my pink tee. Funny in my pink tee. This is out of context, by the way. I just want y'all to know. This is all out of context.

I'm drunk with my pink tee. Look lame in my pink tee. Forget a female. I get a man with my pink tee. I look fruity in my pink tee. Weird in my pink tee. Wait, wait, wait. Stop it. No, no, no man with my pink teeth I look fruity in my pink teeth Weird in my pink teeth Wait, wait, wait. Stop it. No, no, no, no. I need to get a rest.

By the way, this is all out of context. I need a man in my pink teeth. Is that what he said? Alright, let's take these questions. No, we got some. This was a parody song when I was clowning everybody who was wearing pink and wearing pink t-shirts. Dizzy Van Winkle.

It sounds very serious to me. This was his first single. Alright, let's play it. I've had enough. Put this in the mix. I'm definitely playing in the mix. This is horrible. In my pink tee.

In my pink tee. In my pink tee. In my pink tee. In my pink tee. In my pink tee. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne's book is in stores right now, and we're interviewing him. We have a special guest in the building, and we're going to take your calls. 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? What's up, man? My name is Bayard from Yuba City, California, 30 minutes north of Sacramento. Bayard, good morning. Charlamagne's book is in stores right now.

He's joined us this morning. Do you have a question for Charlamagne? Yes, I do. Go ahead. Okay. You know, he says create opportunity for yourself or whatever. Like, in other words, don't make excuses while being black. That's how I'm taking it.

No, you should read the book then. I'm going to read the most black book. Okay. But that's just what I'm basing it off of the title. In other words, kind of taking that route. Okay. So my question is, okay, I'm a medical assistant, right? Mm-hmm.

So I've been working since the age of 16 or whatever, and I live in this little town or whatever. No matter how hard I was going, it seemed like I was always being told no. So being with that fact, what I started doing for myself is I would Google names of recruiters for Kaiser Permanente, for example. And then what I would do when I would find these recruiters, whether it be through Facebook or LinkedIn, I would go, you know, message them like, hey, you know, I'm a medical assistant or whatever.

I'm trying my hardest. I know this is awkward, et cetera, et cetera. Express myself to them. I ain't going to say all of them right back, but the ones that would, it was more or less likely, I'm sorry, good luck. You know, I don't know if we'll be able to necessarily help you. I got it. So the question is, do you feel discouraged? Because people tell you no.

How do not feel discouraged? Well, in the book. Exactly. Well, in the book, Black Privilege Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It, I talk about how all you really need is one yes. I mean, anybody in this room, Envy, well, I'm probably not Angela because it's her first radio job, but you know how many ad checks I sent out over my career from the time I was doing radio in Charleston, South Carolina,

to Columbia, to wherever? I sent out at least 20, 30 ad checks to program directors all across the country. Guess how many replied? Zero. Okay? Period. Only one replied in Columbia, South Carolina, and that was Mike Love, and that's when I got hired.

So all you need is one yes. You might get 100 no's, but all you need is one yes to change everything. Hello, who's this? It's Elisa. Hey, Elisa, what's your question for Charlamagne? Okay, so I'm in college, and my major is radio TV broadcasting, and I just wanted to know what's the best mindset to have to overcome obstacles that may come forth

and, you know, how to get through it. Man, you simply just got to have faith. Like, yo, you just got to push through. Like, it's going to be obstacles in any career field that you're in, period. But you got to ask yourself, especially if it's really your passion, are you willing to go through those obstacles to get to where you want to be? Envy, was it easy for you on your way up? No, no, not at all.

It's still not easy. I'm still busting my ass every day like I ain't got nothing. I tell people all the time, this will be my 19th year in radio. I started off as an intern in 1998. You know when I really started making real money in radio? The past four years. I tell everybody the same thing. The past four years.

So, do you really love what you're doing? If you do, guess what? You're willing to fight through those obstacles. Hello, who's this? I'm from Miami. Hey, what's the question for Charlamagne? I want to know, did he add any of his little gay episodes in his book? He did, actually.

And it actually had to do with my show at Sirius. Yeah, I did. What happened? Tell us. I got a nice little gay episode in there. If that's what makes you go buy the book. What's the gay episode? Y'all going to tell us? Oh, I got glittered s*** in there.

Yeah, you got to read about it. It was a guy that Charlemagne used to go visit got glitter now. Yeah, you gotta read about it. It was a guy that Charlamagne used to go visit on the bus. Yeah, allegedly. That was his story. And he's sticking to it. I wanted me to stick to it. Oh, okay. Alright. Well, Charlamagne's book is out right now. Make sure you go get it. Yes, it's eight principles that

I learned in my life that I'm sharing with the people. It's called Black Privilege Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It. And I just want to say, man, now, I'll say that for the moral of the story. Go ahead. What? There is no moral of the story. That's it.

Oh, that's it? Yeah. Oh, well, I just want to say that now is the greatest time to create your own opportunity. We didn't have none of these tricks of the trade, none of these tools that you kids got. If you want to get in the radio broadcast, then you can just start your own podcast. If you want to be a writer, you can just write a blog. If you want to be on TV, you can record yourself on YouTube. If you're an entrepreneur, you can take your product

and put it up on social media and Instagram and get it popping. Now is the greatest time to create your own opportunity. Take advantage of it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Little Kev the Bastard is here.

Kevin Hart. We gotta thank him for the chairs because Kev actually bought us chairs. I did buy chairs. He bought us chairs. I did buy chairs. They took forever, but it wasn't my fault. I know.

He felt awkward coming back up here until the chairs came. Yeah, I'm not coming back till the chairs come. Well, thank you for the chairs. You're damn right. They're little chairs. They don't go that high, though. They're little chairs on purpose.

Everybody always comes in here and says they don't adjust high. I'm like, Kevin Hart bought those. That's what. I did it so my feet could be where they're supposed to. There you go. It had nothing to do with y'all. It was all about me. It was a selfish buy.

I learned a whole lot more about Kevin Hart after reading the book. Call him Little Kev the Bastard. Little Kev the Bastard. Why do you call him Little Kev the Bastard? That was originally his name. That was his first comedy name. It sounds like a Philly battle rapper. It definitely has nothing that says success in it.

Nothing that says I'm going to make it. Can you tell the people why you were Little Captain Bassett? Little Captain Bassett. That's the name. That was my first name in stand-up comedy that one of my friends came up with because when I was going to start performing, he was like, you need a name, man. I was like, what are you talking about?

He said, you can't just go up there like that. He said, you need a name. And it was based off of, you know, at the time, the comedians that were popping. That was like with Bruce Bruce and Earthquake and all those guys were real big. He's like, you need something that people can remember you by. And we were in the car and he was like, the bastard. Honestly, that's honestly how he said car and he was like, the bastard. Honestly, that's honestly how he said it.

I was like, what? The bastard. So my friend came over and we were in the car and they started announcing me. Yo, coming to the stage, Lil Kev, the bastard. And I was getting all hyped. I was like, okay, alright. I feel like it's dope. You didn't think that there was an old dirty out there already? There was already a bastard in the

game? I didn't, you know, you don't think when people give you a name like that, you caught up in the moment, Charlamagne. You don't become a negative Nancy. All right, you go with the flow. There's room for more than one bastard in the game. Well, at that point in time, I thought I was the only one. What happened to the name, though? What happened?

Why did you stop? I realized it had nothing to do with what I was talking about. There was nothing that went with the bastard at all. There was one disappointment. There was one job went with the bastard at all. There was one disappointment. There was one job that I really wish you would have done. This would have been epic. I was going to be a stripper. He was going to be a stripper.

You were going to be a stripper? I was going to be a stripper. You were going to be a stripper? Yeah, that would have been great material. This is me in community college. Money is dry, and I was dealing with this girl. And this chick, she was like, you know what you should do? You should start dancing.

Dancing? Yeah. How was the trippin' in? We didn't get that far. Oh, okay. We didn't get, we got far enough for me to think about a routine that I should do. Like, we got far enough for her to give me advice on a routine, and she got some outfits. Outfits?

Yeah, she was like, dude, this is what you got to wear. That's when I started getting skeptical. She was like, you know, this is what they wear. She brought in one of these things that hold you, that hold you, like, this way you stay right. I was like, I don't know about all this, you know. I'm young. I'm like, I don't really know about this.

She was like, I'm telling you. I was actually putting it down on this girl, by the way, too. So, low key, she might have been trying to pimp me. She did pimp me. She knew what she was working with. Yeah, she might have definitely tried to throw me out there

to make some money. But at the time, I didn't think of it like that. You had a dancing partner and everything. We was going... A dancing partner? I convinced my boy

that he should do it, too. Wait, both of y'all were going to dance with me? No, by the way... I didn't want to go in there blind. I didn't want to go in there blind, man. You tell a story about how y'all both went in the room

and y'all had baby oil. I was wondering, did y'all help each other put the baby oil in go in there blind, man. You tell a story about how y'all both went in the room and y'all had baby oil. I was wondering, did y'all help each other put the baby oil on? No, no, no. This was just us two. Oh, brother, it ain't awkward. It's real. This was, I was 18, 18. And I was like, yo, dude, she said we can make money.

You know, renting everything was bad. She said we can go somewhere where ain't nobody going to see us. He's like, you sure, man? I was like, dude, ain't nobody going to see us. The way she talking, like we going to clean up. It's just a bunch of big girls. A bunch of big girls. Yeah, He's like, you sure, man? I was like, dude, ain't nobody gonna see us. The way she talking, like we gonna clean up. It's just a bunch of big girls. A bunch of big girls. So she said she'll show us,

help us out. She had us in the living room. She was like, y'all just gotta get a dancing routine. So the stools was supposed to be the girl. We in the living room. What was the song? The classic Genuine Pony.

The classic Genuine Pony. The classic Genuine Pony. Genuine Pony is what I was going to go with. So I was working on a routine. This is a true story on my mother. And while I'm trying to get my routine together, my boy Ted and my brother and them came in. They came to, like, my brother always had a key.

So he just came in. They hear the music. They see my boy. You're a half-nigger. Baby oiled up. We just had jeans on. We had our shirts off. And bow ties.

So we in there. We in there with oil on, dancing, music blasting. My brother's like, what the f*** is going on? Hey, hey. There was nothing that you could say. Even though my mind is justified, there was nothing I could say to my brother. In that moment. In that moment. I'm like, yo, yo.

Yo. I tried to say, yo, wait up. Wait till we done this routine. I'm almost at the end. But that's when I was like, nah, man, I can't do this. My brother's like, man, you stupid. He said, man, you better take them goddamn lumps. I respect it, though, because you was in Philly.

You could have sold dope. You could have freaking went to Robbins store. I wasn't going to do that. I wasn't going to go that route. The only reason why I was even interested in doing that, because she had me so sold on the fact, she was like, because you small, them big girls are going to love you. She was like, I'm telling you.

Yo, she had me so sold. I fact, she's like, because you're small, them big girls are going to love you. She's like, I'm telling you. Yo, she had me so sold. I'm not even lying. You see, I'm being 100% honest. Like, there's no room for error in this story to tell a lie. Like, it was literally me, my back was against the wall, and I'm like, yo, I gotta figure it out,

man. So you would do Magic Mike 3 if it was presented to you? No, no, no, no. And just for the record, I'm like, yo, I gotta figure it out, man. So you would do Magic Mike 3 if it was presented to you? No, no, no, no. And just for the record, I wanted to be clear. I never hit a stage. I never even walked in to a strip club. It was in my living room as far as it went. And I never even put on the bottom.

I never even put on the outfit. So you were naked on the bottom? No, I just had jeans on. I had my jeans on. We had our shirts off. We was going over the routine. Okay. And she was telling us about the things to put on. That's when the information was throwing us off. And she was like,

we don't even know if y'all can dance. Let me see what the dancing would look like. Your life could have been so different if you would have hit that stage. Oh, if I could have hit the stage? Well, who knows? Chocolate dropper. Who knows? Chocolate dropper. The real chocolate dropper. Ladies and gentlemen, y'all ready to get dropped off?

Now, Charlamagne told us a story last week. We were talking about the book, about how you walked in on a comedian f***ing off. Not just any comedian. Not just any comedian. One of the best to do it, man. Patrice O'Neal. Yes, sir. What did you say to him?

R.I.P. Patrice. When you walked in. That's why, listen, people, this is what this book is for. You got to get the book, man. This story right here is legendary, okay? Patrice O'Neal, he comes to L.A. Patrice needed to stay. He needed a place to stay.

So at the time I was living in L.A., I had a two-bedroom apartment. Patrice comes. He's staying there. I'm like, dude, you come and go as you want. Me and my ex, we're out. We're just out and about during the day. And she's like, all right, well, I'm going to go hang with my girls. I was like, all right, well, you go ahead.

I'm going to go back to the crib. So I'm not thinking about Patrice or whatever. And if he is home, it doesn't matter. So I walk in, and it's quiet. Like, it's literally just quiet. I'm like, yo, Patrice, you here? I don't hear nothing, right? So I go in the back, just in that back room where he is.

Open the door. You know, he's in the back, just in that back room where he is, open the door. You know, he's in front of, like, I had a big laptop. So, you know, Patrice is big. Patrice is in front of the laptop. And I'm like, yo, what you doing, man? He's like, you know when a person, like, turn over and look over their shoulder, but they don't move their body like some way. He's like, yo, give me a second.

Give me a second. And was like what you doing? Come on, man. Give me a second he move and I saw a baby boy you on the top I was like what are you watching porn? See and now I hear you know Patrice is huge so his little arm on the other side was like in front of Come on man, I. He's like, come on, man. I didn't know you was going to be home. He's like, so I go and close the door. And like two minutes go by. He come back out. First of all, he's disgusting because he finished.

Like when I close the door, he's done. I close the door. He finished doing whatever he was doing. And he came back out. He's like, yo, I didn't expect you to be back. You know, normally you guys don't come back until late evening. I thought I had some me time. He said, he said, if there's anything until late evening. I thought I had some me time. He said,

he said if there's anything I could do. He gave me $100. This is real. So he's like, that's just for the inconvenience. I was like, I don't want your money. The fact that I saw you

f***ing off is just disgusting to me, man. I said, and you finished? He's like, well, it was a good, you actually used to see this scene. Patrice,

he was a favorite guy. Like, you know how the guys would save scenes? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Patrice, he was a favorite guy. You know how the guys would save scenes? Patrice had scenes just saved all on my laptop by the time he moved. Like his favorite sections. Oh, it was on your laptop? It was my computer.

The best part about that story is he asked you not to tell nobody and you said, no, as your friend, I'm going to tell everybody. I'm going to tell everybody. Now, this is what he would want. Patrice is in heaven smiling right now. He would want me to tell his story. I know Patrice. Patrice is one of the biggest, best ass***** you'll ever meet.

And this is what we did. So I told the story because that's a moment that I had with a legend. And in that moment, you know, that's the one thing that I had on him. That's my one, I got you. Right. I got you good. But I never said nothing. Well, no, that's a lie.

I told the comedians. We trashed him at the table one time. And his whole response was, y'all act like y'all don't do it. We do, but not enough people at home. Especially not when we know they coming in and out. All right, we got more with Kevin Hart. When we come back, we got to talk about his book some more. And more, so don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We're back. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Kevin Hart here.

Now, Charlamagne, why are you writing a book now? Why am I writing a book now? I got too much information, man. Too many stories that I can tell that can be of use to others, especially when you're talking about success. So, you know, a lot of wrongs that I've done, a lot of mistakes that I've made, I think can be

valuable to other people to know which directions that they should or shouldn't go into. And you can take that information and put it to use. I didn't have as much as I wanted to when I was coming up, and I think that was a good thing. That's why a lot of the mistakes that I made, I made. But now that I've learned and that I understand, I'm

in a position to give people a different piece of knowledge. And that's what the book is about, man. It's about sharing this information so you can help people, you know, that are aspiring to be whatever it is they want to be in life, understand that there's a will and there's a way, as long as you're determined to do it. It seems like you also learned

a lot writing this book because you got to sit down with your dad and ask him some questions that you might have never known. That's what I want to interview. I'm not even going to lie to you. Your dad is really the star of this book. You better get that dump button ready. You can talk to my dad if you want to, man. You know, it's

crazy because when me and my dad were talking and just going through everything the man. You know, it's crazy because when me and my dad were talking and just going through everything, the stories, you know, my dad was getting mad. He was getting mad because, you know, you're pulling stuff that he doesn't want to remember,

you know, that he doesn't want to think about. And the fact that I'm laughing about it is what was making him mad. You know, he's like, dude, you know, to you, it's a joke.

And I'm like, it's not a joke. I'm just in a position where I can laugh at the stupid shit that you did. You know, he's like, dude, you know, to you, it's a joke. And I'm like, it's not a joke. I'm just in a position where I can laugh at the stupid shit that you did. You know, it doesn't affect me. I'm fine. You know, I made it. I said, your other son is fine. I said, you're upset because of the mistakes you made. So you're mad at you.

Right. You're not mad at me laughing. You're mad at you because now you're in a sober state to look at the things you did. You make him reflect. Yeah. And that's where we got into it a couple times. But, you know, he's overall he's fine, you know, but when you say

he's the star of the book, he's the star of my life. Because if you look at the bulk of the stories, if you look at the bulk of the crazy things that I talk about, it stems from my dad being a part of it in some way, shape, or form. Me talking about my dad stealing a dog in this book,

my dad stole a grown dog. From where? Just from the neighbor, man. Like, from people that live, like, three blocks down. He just took their dog and brought it home. He said, y'all been asking for a dog. There you go. And the people came to the house, and they're like, yo, y'all took our dog.

My dad looked him in the eye. No, he didn't. They called the dog. The dog come running to him. He's like, well, how am I supposed to know that's your dog? And they're like, what are you talking about? You took the dog. Me and my brother was like, dad, I thought that was our dog.

Y'all get another one. But he just shrugged it off. Like, drugs put you in a position where you shrug it off. Ain't no big deal. We'll find another one. He let you drive a boat. Let me crash a boat. Yeah.

How bad that your mom wouldn't let you have nothing? Well, what do you do? If you my mom know, you got to put yourself in her position. She let my older brother have everything. And he went down the wrong road. So her thing was, with him, I'm not going to let him do nothing. I'm going to make sure I'm right there. I had a babysitter until I was 14, 15.

But I meant the stolen items from your pops. Like anything. She didn't let me have none of that. Yeah. No, no. My dad used to come items from your pops. Like, anything? She ain't let me have none of that. Yeah. No, no. My dad used to come with toys with no bags. No cases. Remember, Dad bought me a bunch of He-Men.

Remember He-Men? Yep. He-Men, G.I. Joes. But they were all out the packaging. In a garbage bag out of here. None of them. Brand new.

Brand new. None of them had packaging in a garbage bag. Hey, man, this for that boy. My mom was like, you ain't bringing that hot stuff in here. Why you assuming stolen? My mom, she was like, show me a receipt. My dad, I ain't going to do this. I ain't got time.

He never show a receipt. Honestly, though, what I love the most is that people are going to see different layers to who I am. Like, you know, granted, right now we're talking about the fun stuff in the book. You're talking about me telling the story about when I was about to strip. Or, you know, me when I was coming up with the name Lil' Captain Bastard when I started comedy. Or, you know, my dad stealing the book. You're talking about me telling the story about when I was about to strip or, you know, me when I was coming up with the name Lil' Captain Bastard when I started comedy or, you know, my dad stealing the dog. But then there's some real, real, you know, deep

stuff in there where you go into the depth of my relationship with my dad, of my feelings towards what my dad was doing, what he was doing at the time. You know, my mom and me, when we butted heads and how tough it got in that household at that time. My brother and how he stepped up to play a certain role in my life when it was important after he was gone.

I mean. You talk about domestic violence. Domestic violence. Me and my ex-wife. Yeah, being a possible alcoholic. Yeah, that was a point in time where I had to check myself and say, yo, are you an alcoholic? Are you becoming an alcoholic? There's just so many different things where I've seen myself grow from the experiences that I've made, from the good and

the bad. And I think people need to understand that nobody in life is flawless. Nobody is perfect. You know, perfection is something that rarely exists when you're talking about individuals. It's impossible. You can try to be as perfect as you want, but ultimately you're going to come across mistakes. You're going to come across flaws. And I think the real perfection is in perfecting your imperfections. That's how you get to a place where you can ultimately be happy with who you are. That's what made me appreciate the book even more,

because when you talk about fighting with your ex or even the situations when you were drunk before you caught the DUI and having accidents. You don't have to share that kind of stuff, especially now. You're a brand. You're doing cartoons. Yeah. Like, you had no reservations about sharing that kind of information? Like, it could affect your money now?

Well, no. I mean, you know, now you're not going to. I can't affect my money because I'm in control of it. I'm my own. I'm my own man. So when you say you're a brand, I am a brand. I'm in charge of my brand. You know, I'm putting those stories in there because people don't realize the

real consequences behind it. Remember I told you yesterday, I was like, it's very easy. Like, no, I'm good. I ain't drunk. I'm good. I got balance. I ain't drunk. I'm good. I'm straight. You know, you didn't have to have many shots we didn't took. But it's very easy to get in that car. I was that guy. Now I'm good. Come on, we out. And I would. I'd make it home. I'd drive home without a problem. But you's very easy to get in that car. I was that guy. Now I'm good. Come on, we out. And I would.

I'd make it home. I'd drive home without a problem. But you get comfortable with doing that. And then when I got to DUI, I realized if I were to get in an accident, if this were to be tragic, how many people fall down because of my ignorance, my quick mistakes from the wife, from the kids, from within my company, the people that work for me, from the brands that have put so much on the table to go behind what it is that I'm saying and doing. You know, everything collapses off of a bad a bad judgment. I said, why am I why am I living to to to make an easy wrong?

I was like, just go in and get rid of that. Let's let's X that out. Me and my ex-wife, when they got violent, when we fighting, wow, am I really fighting? Am I holding my hands up as if she's a man right now?

Mm-hmm. Oh, my God. Yo, this is, I'm out. I've really got my hands up to not defend, but counter. Like, I'm waiting

for you to throw a punch because I'm about to counter the shit out of you. Like, I'm really, I'm really, like. I'm about to counter the shit out of you. Like, I'm really, I'm really, like, I'm that upset to where I got a stance. Like, when you get in a stance, you know, that's when

I check myself. You say what you want. All this comedy stuff is great. I can throw my hand. I took a stance. Like, okay, like, I'm waiting. I'm waiting because I was going to dip and bow. And I'm like, oh my God, I'm waiting. I'm waiting because I was going to dip and bow. And I'm like, oh, my God, I'm gone. Like, I'm lost.

At what level of anger am I at that I've gotten here? I was like, all right, Kev, you're going to take responsibility. Whether she did whatever she did, you got to start taking responsibility. So when I stopped justifying, that's when I started to get smarter. And as I got smarter, the business got better. As the business got better, the brand got bigger. It all goes together, man. And that's what I'm talking about when I say information.

This is information that I'm sharing to simply show that the person that you see is human. I'm not sitting in front of you as a robot or somebody that doesn't do the things you do. Ultimately, we're all people. We're all individuals. We got more with Kevin Hart when we come back. We got to talk Bill Cosby a little bit. Also, I seen him go to the game the other day with Jay-Z. Who paid for that jet?

We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Kevin Hart's in the everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club, Kevin Hart's in the building. Now, yesterday Bill Cosby was in court, and he mentioned that he was kind of upset that a couple comedians didn't necessarily support him,

and you were one of them. Will you be stopping by to show support? He said that I didn't support him? He didn't say your name. He didn't say what? He mentioned a couple of comedians. He said Chris Rodman. I didn't say your name. Okay.

But you see, I'm Kevin Hart. What? Did you see my whole face now? Wait, what? I don't even have a relationship. Why would you say? Phil Cosby said, I'm in Philly. Where's Kevin Hart with the support?

Will you be stopping by to show support? Well, here's the thing. I'll be honest with you. What is going on with him now is such a tough thing because it tarnishes, you know, the reputation of what America's

favorite dad was. And that's unfortunate. It's unfortunate, but without me knowing all the ins and outs of this case, and of course, you're innocent until proven guilty, it's a tough position to stand in front of because wrong is wrong and right is right. So if there is a situation where he is wrong, you know, he will be remembered as that instead of this.

But as a comedian, I'm a storyteller because of Bill Cosby, because of Eddie Murphy, you know, because of Pryor. When you look at those guys, they did it to the best of their ability. And for the generation to come behind them, they were our influences. You know, so Bill Cosby plays a major influence. But I can't step into that realm because that realm is such a messy realm right now. And you don't know what you're stepping up for. You don't know what's the truth. Yeah, like, you don't know. Like, you know, I don't want to put myself in a position

where I'm speaking on behalf of a man where, I mean, there's such a plethora of people that are just, you know. He possibly could have raped those women. It's possible. That's a tough thing. Now, you know all about the Bill Maher, Kathy Griffin situation. Do you think comedians have a license to say anything or do anything? No.

You can play the freedom of speech thing all you want. We can play the we're comedians, it's a joke thing all you want. Ultimately, we know what we're saying, and you know the backlash that can come from it there was a point in my time uh and and stand up where i was using slander to talk about homophobia and at that point in time nobody would say anything it wasn't it didn't come off uh offensive you know it wasn't a big deal but today people are speaking up to the point where they take those words as serious as we take racial slur. You know? So, ultimately, I can't expect you to respect me if I'm saying things that don't respect you.

And just because I have the title of a comedian doesn't justify the things that I'm doing or that I'm saying. You know, I've seen Bill Maher come to the defense of black people on several occasions. That's a bad judgment. You know, granted, I don't think Bill Maher's a racist, but to say that and say it the way you said it, as comfortable as you said it in a joking form, you're wrong. Now, granted, you can issue all the apologies you want.

He says it. You know he says it around friends. That's something that he's not going to say anymore. But for you to say it on your platform, that's tacky. On stage, you're not going to hear me go the cracker or the hunky. I'm not going to do it. I do, on the radio all the time. I'm not going to do it.

I love seeing crack-ass crackers. I'm not going to do it. I do, on the radio all the time. I'm not going to do it. I love seeing crack-ass crackers. I'm not going to do it. No matter what. I get it. I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it because of the relationships that I have, because of the people that I'm around, because of the platform that I stand on.

So I'm conscious of that now. Bill had great comedic timing in that moment, though. Hey, man, listen. I'm not going to go and break the joke down. I'm not going to. The level of comfort, like the shoulder shrug of it, I was like, oh. I'm a housemate.

Come on, man. And then like the cockiness afterwards, how he flagged it off. I was like, no, you know. I was like, oh, that's bad. That's bad. Now, one of the main takeaways I got from the book was about perspective. Yes. A lot of things that happen in life, you could look at it in one way or you could look at it in another way.

You could take the positive out of it and make it funny and make it something that you could learn from or you could just be negative. And it feels like that's something that has been with you since you were young. The best way to break it down is that your life is a book. You got different chapters in your life. Ultimately, you're going to get to the end of your book. However you want that book to end is up to you. Are you learning from the chapters? Are you taking the positives out of the negatives to make the next chapters better? Or are you the type of person that can finish each chapter on a negative and shoulder shrug it? Ultimately, you're in control of that. So when you talk about the life lessons,

there's several life lessons. I mean, as funny as me putting myself in a situation to possibly almost strip is, there's a lesson in that. Like, yo, as crazy as it was, desperation was in, and I was about to go to the ultimate route of desperation. How do I get some quick money in my pocket?

All right, I'm about to show my what i gotta do that's that's how i get it what i gotta do hey man better to show you this one hey well hey brother that's not even an option i don't even know how that got out there that's not even a possibility all right if they get that bad somebody somebody even did something to me y'all better hey look you better check something in my veins. Something's flowing through my veins. Whatever got there. But the life lesson within that moment was there is no, there is

no win in the quick route. That's what a lot of those moments are about, man. There's a life lesson in any and everything that I've done. Me now as a parent, why I stand where I stand with my kids today is because of how my dad was with me. If my dad wasn't that parent that missed and made mistakes, I wouldn't be as on point as I am.

Because you wouldn't realize how important it is to do and be in those places that you normally wouldn't think to do and be. I got to fly back to L.A. I got to fly back to L.A. I got to do press, interview, interview. I got to get on the plane fly land at my daughter's graduation I'm gonna be there for an hour

so my baby can see me so I can hug her give her a kiss some flowers and I gotta go right back to the airport get back on the plane so I can go back

and be back where I just came from for the next morning to do TV so you in the middle of your book so you flying back to LA on the day your book come out for an hour

for an hour. For an hour. And this little girl ain't even going to, because all her friends are going to be around, so I know I'm going to get mad. Right. Because she's not even going to realize what I did. So I'm going to get a hug.

Okay, wait, I got to go for it. Parker's over there. Okay. All right, baby. I spent 50 grand real quick just to go back and forth because I got to get back. But give me a hug. I love you. Because I understand how important that is.

Right. So the things that I do to break my neck because he didn't break his neck the same way, but I don't fault him for that. I now know what I'm supposed to do so my kids don't have the same feeling. Did you just say you spent 50 grand? I fly probably.

Let me ask you a question. You and Jay fly to the game. You and Jay fly to the game. The first game, NBA Finals. Yeah. Who plays for the Jets? Jay did. Actually, let me tell you how cool I was with that move.

I knew I was about to call. I was about to call and get my plane. And I was like, wait, Hove's probably going to the game. It's game one. I know he in town. Let me call Hove first. And I hit him with it. Yo, Hove, what up?

He's like, what up? What you doing? He's like, nothing. Cool. What you doing about this game? You going to the game? He's like, come on, man. You know I am.

I heard that. All right, I'm coming with you. Once I heard the door open, I'm getting on with you then. I'll see you there. Just give me a flat and bone. You know what I'm asking for? Gas money or nothing? No, that was his.

He was going already. That's the rule. He was going already. Now, Kev got to go, guys. He got to go. And let me just say where he's going to be at. Tell him where he's going to be at. He has his book tour happening now.

That's right. He'll be in Philly on Wednesday. Break it down there. Right, at the Philadelphia Free Library. Then on Thursday, June 8th in D.C. at Politics and Prose. I'm going there. Then in Miami Friday, June 9th at Books and Books. And then in Katy, Houston, Texas at Books a Million on Saturday, June 10th, June 11th, Minneapolis at Mall of America.

And in L.A., Monday, June 12th at Barnes & Noble at the Grove. Listen, Kev is going to shut all of these places down. There's no way Kev is going to be allowed to be in these bookstores. No, no, it's going to be crazy. It's impossible. That's what I want. I want sheer pandemonium. Pandemonium, man. And let me shout out my

book club because this is the book in my book club that we are reading now, Kevin Hart. It's a really great read, man. It's a really great read. Thank you. I heard your book club is amazing, too. Oh, yeah. It's really fun. I'm excited for your book. Thank you. It's going to be a great conversation based off of your experience. It really is. It really is. And I want to thank you for waiting two months until after my book

came out. Hey, brother. First of all, first of all, let me give my guy a shout-out that he deserves, man. Shout-out to you, not only for writing a book, but taking advantage of an amazing opportunity that you have. And I talked to him about this yesterday. I was like, dude, I said, that's something that you can embark on and go so far because you're so opinionated on the radio. You're so firm within your stance of your feelings, your thoughts,

and how you feel. Other people do that and have that, but you've taken that and transformed it into a book, man, that can go on to be so many books. So I applaud you on your efforts, dude. I support you. If you haven't got my guy's book, make sure you go support it. Black Privilege. Kev definitely told me that yesterday, and then he goes,

but I'm going to be number one. And I'm already working on number two. Well, Kevin Hart, he will be in the strip club with me next week. He will be dancing. We'll work out the numbers later on. It's The Breakfast Club. Kevin Hart. The Breakfast Club.

I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. Donkey, donkey, donkey. One, two, three, four. It's time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly.

The Breakfast Club. Yes, donkey of the day goes to a young man named Ugly God. Now, by a show of hands, if you don't know who Ugly God is, raise your hands. Okay, we are on the radio and I can't see any of you all, but I'm going to assume that a lot of you grown-ass adults who listen to The Breakfast Club have no idea who Ugly God is. Well, Ugly God was on the 2017 XXL freshman cover. Now, I am not the guy on the radio that's out here trying to act younger than I am.

My born day is June 29th, and I am happy to be here. Age is a blessing. I feel privileged to act younger than I am. My born day is June 29th, and I am happy to be here. Age is a blessing. I feel privileged to be growing older and growing and evolving every day. So when I look at the 2017 XXL freshman list and the people on it look unfamiliar, it doesn't bother me in the least bit. I'll call up one of my young boys like DJ Academics or Relly on Smash and tell him, put me on. Well, Ugly God is one of those youngins they put me on to, okay?

He's 20 years old, and he is the leader of a crew called the little d click and when i say d i mean penis drop one of clues bombs for that name all right you like that i love it always undersell and over deliver even if your penis isn't little say it is no expectation is the best expectation always remember that but back to ugly god it's safe to say that people are still discovering who he is uh i know the record water was a tune it's got like 30 million views on soundcloud let's play a little of it see if it rings any bells for anyone i drip on your bitch like water i splash on your bitch with the water water water water water water on my bitch I keep it well like my cell phone.

Still don't know who he is. Heard the record maybe. Well, Ugly God was pulled over for Taylor's driving this weekend, and he had the nerve, the audacity, the unmitigated gall to play the you don't know who I am card. Oh, yes, it was all captured on IG Live. Let's hear it. Unless you hold that car in the middle of the road, you'll continue to get tickets like this.

I just want you to win. I don't know if you have a son, but they probably know who I am. Nobody knows who you are, man. You don't think so? I've never met you before. Well, here's the deal. I'm done talking for the night. You're warning for the cab's job.

When's my court date? Your court date is set for July 24th. I'm being L.A. Okay, well, that has nothing to do with me. Call them and schedule me on time. Is there a fine or anything? Yeah, you can pay a fine, man. Here's your tickets. Now you can call them. No, I don't know how this works. I'm not even in this. I'm not even in this. It's real talk right up there? Yeah, you can pay a fire, man. Here's your tickets.

No, I don't know how this works. I'm not in this. Real talk. Look me up. Okay, I'll look you up when I get back to my truck. Like, I'm for real. Okay. It's Ugly Space God.

Ugly Space God. Look, I love the confidence, young brother. I would never try that. Listen, I love the confidence, young brother, but it's a thin line between confidence and arrogance, and let's deal with reality, bruh, bruh. I know you got 30 million views on Water on SoundCloud. I know you on the 2017 XXL

freshman list. I know some people are anticipating you're the booty tape. That's actually the name of his project, the booty tape. But you are in no position to say to anyone, you don't know who I am, okay? By the way, most people, if you have to say you don't know who I am, then you probably nobody. One of my favorite quotes in life is work hard until you no longer need to

introduce yourself. Ugly God, you are in that space right now. That space where you need to keep working hard and introducing yourself to everyone. And even when you think you are the biggest thing in the world, it will always be someone who doesn't know you. So don't ever think you are so big or that important that the whole world knows you. Humble thyself before you are humbled. This situation made me think about two things. Once, maybe a year ago, maybe two,

I don't remember. I met Beyonce, right? And Beyonce actually shook my hand and said, hi, I'm Beyonce. Beyonce, probably one of the few people on this planet who everyone knows, introduced herself as if I was from another planet And possibly didn't know who she was So I'm saying that to say If one of the most well-known people on the planet Isn't on some do-you-know-who-I-am stuff Then why does your 20-year-old ass

Have that type of energy? The word of the day, kids, is humble Do you remember when Jay-Z Ironically, Beyonce's husband, rode the train Wanted to go perform at the barclays center and it was this massive crowd around him and an old lady asked him are you famous jay-z could have hit her with a do you know who i am but he didn't he simply said this not very famous you don't know me i'll get this okay my name is jay that's humility right that's humility in the words of ralph waldor emerson a great man is

always willing to be little i just want you youngins to understand that you will go a lot further when you humble yourself okay matthew 23 12 says whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be exalted if you you don't, OK, if you don't know what exalted means, high rank of status at a high powerful level held in high regard. You know, the type of person who doesn't have to say people, you know who I am. All right. OK, that's what that is. That's what exalted means. All right. You don't have to say, you know who I am, because people already know who they are. Well, those of you who like to exalt yourself by saying things like do you know who i am you will be humbled and humble people will continue to rise because people will lift them up

because we like to see people who aren't full of themselves when ugly god you just got a lesson in humility and as long as you learn from it you will be fine just remember humility is royalty without a crown and if you can't remember that next time you're in a situation where you feel like exalting yourself, just remember this cop's voice in your head. I don't know if you had a sword, but they probably know who I am. Nobody knows who you are, man. You don't think so? I've never met you before.

Wait a second. Why did I need to hear that one more time? Please, I need to hear that one more time. I don't know if you had a sword, but they probably know who I am. Nobody knows who you are, man. You don't think so? I've never met you before. That is God talking through that cop, telling ugly God to humble thyself.

Please give ugly God the sweet sounds and the hammer tones. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Nobody knows who you are.

Man, listen, man. Humble thyself or you will be humbled. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee, 800-585-1051 if you DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee, 800-585-1051 if you got a question for Yee. Hello, who's this? Hello.

Hey, what's your question for Yee? What's your name? My name is Bridget. My question is that my best friend keeps going back to the same guy even though he keeps cheating on her, he keeps talking to other girls, and it's like I keep telling her to do the same thing, like stop talking to him. Mind your business. Now, the only time that I really had to do something was when one of my friends, her child's father, actually sent out nude pictures of her to her whole entire family, to her boss at work.

And he also was physically abusing her. So at that point, I told her we had to go to the police and file a report and she had to worry about the safety of her kids but when it comes to most of my friends that have been in those situations even you i'm sure you've been in a situation where you've been with somebody way longer than you should have so all you can do is be supportive because you don't want your friend to not want to tell you when things are happening and i know it gets a little repetitive and I've had to tell one of my friends, listen, you complain about the same things all the time. Either you have to do

something about it and change your situation because he's not changing or maybe you need to just, if that's what you want to choose to do, just do it and stop complaining about it all the time. Because sometimes I don't want to hear the same story over and over and over again. Yeah, that's the problem.

So it is what it is. But there's going to be a certain point when, you know, and I told my friend the same thing. I said, listen, at some point, are you going to wait for him to do something so terrible that you absolutely have to leave him alone forever and break up? Why do you want to wait for that to happen? And just make sure you know, I think you're an incredible person. You're my friend. And the only reason I'm telling you this is because I'm just make sure you know, I think you're an incredible person. You're my friend. And the only reason I'm telling you this is because I'm your friend.

You know, but at the end of the day, she'll leave when she's ready for it. Ready. I bet you ain't got no man, do you? That's why you're so busy meddling in other people's business. No, I do. That's the problem.

It's like every time she wants to talk, like I take away my time with my boyfriend to go help her out. And it's like... Your man don't tell you to mind your damn business? I mean, that's her friend. He does! Well, listen to your man. If her friend wants to talk to her about things, she's not going to say, okay, I'm a momma.

If she's asking her questions and wants her advice, but you have to tell her, listen, it's the same story over and over and over again. Now, until you do something different, I don't want to hear the same story over and over again. Well, that's fine. Why are you worried about what your friend doing? Your man getting his cheating off, so he good.

Stay distracted. Good luck, mama. Be supportive of your friend. All right. Thank you. Bye-bye. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051.

If you got a question for Yee, call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now we're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this?

Juicy. Juicy. Okay, Juicy. What's your question for Yee? So basically, I feel like I understand celebrities feel like, you know, all their fans are crazy or whatever. But I feel like if I go to every show, like I'm up there supporting you. I'm telling all my homegirls about you.

I play your music all the time. You know, anytime you come out, I'm there supporting you. If I respectfully ask you to come with, you know, accompany to my appointment, you know, that lump in my breast, and, you know, I had two appointments, and the results, you know, come out, you know, on the second appointment, and... Wait, now, who are you asking? You're asking celebrities? Just random people? Well, the person I asked, I've met him three times, so he knows, you know, I'm not, like,

a crazy fan. Like, I'm a fan who's met him. Oh, you're definitely a crazy fan. Okay. How? Juicy, juicy. All right, so. I support you as an artist, and I asked you to come with me to find out if I got breast cancer or not.

I'm crazy. Yes. Well, Juicy, celebrity or not, you've met somebody three times. Right. And you asked him to come with you. I wouldn't ask somebody I met three times. Did you ask your mama? What about your daddy?

Yeah, what about one of your best friends or something? My mom is dead and my dad is like, he's not here. So, I'm not sure I have friends and I do have family, but I feel like you're somebody that is able to help me in the sense that I wouldn't be in their crime. I wouldn't

die if I found out. You know what I mean? Who is this everybody? I don't want to say that because I don't want to be like I'm not a crazy person and I don't feel like I'm crazy for asking you to help me. Who is the celebrity? Well, it's so juicy. So let me, okay, so he blocked you after you asked? Yes.

It's not like I was like crazy or anything and I felt like I was, I said I would be grateful to have your support. That's what I said. I think you should tell us who it is so maybe he'll feel guilty and then maybe he'll go with you on your next appointment. That's it. Who is the person?

That's messed up. I can't. I feel like what if it's... Give us a hint. Give us a hint. Is he a singer? Yes. Trey Songz.

Have you had sex with him? Why is y'all so right? Is it Trey? Is it Trey? It's Trey, right? That was so sad. It's Trey. I know it was Trey. The reason I know it was Trey is because only Trey? It's Trey, right? That was so sad. It's Trey. I know it was Trey. The reason I know it was Trey is because only Trey's fans

would feel like he's close enough with them to ask him to go to a breast cancer appointment. What is this so silly? No, Juicy. I'm sorry. I'm crazy. I'm sorry. I will just... Juicy, Juicy, Juicy. I'm supporting the whole music world because I feel like if I support you to that level,

I spent a lot of money. I traveled to shows like outside, not because, you know, like I wanted something in return, just because I wanted to support you as a fan. I'm like, you're great. Juicy, I just want to say something here. Number one, I just want to tell you, I am sorry that you're dealing with this, with the lump in your breast and having to go to these appointments and everything. Okay.

So it's not like I think I'm a fan. It's not, I'm not crazy. I'm not, I'm a very good person. Like, I do a lot for people. Like, I take care of all my siblings. I'm the oldest. My mom passed away. The person tells you that they're not crazy more than seven times in a five-minute conversation.

But, but, but, Juicy, let me, let me explain something to you, okay? The artist is not asking you personally, hey, I need you to come to my show. You're doing this out of your own free will and you should never do things to support people expecting them to do something for you in return. You should do it because you want to do it. You're right.

So if you really support a person and you're a true, true person that feels like connected to somebody, you go to those shows. You spend your money because you want to because it makes you feel good. And you should not say, well, because I've done this for you, you need to do this for me. I'm not.

I'm just saying that I feel like when I did ask. How about you could ask him to just, hey, can you offer me some kind words or let me know that I'm in your thoughts, things like that. But you can't expect him to leave what he has to do and his responsibilities. He's only met you three times. And I'm sure he does appreciate your support. And he loves the fact that you come out and support him. But you should never do anything in life expecting something in return.

I never expect anybody to do anything for me. I can ask. I can ask. And if you say no, I have to respect that. You're right. And I do respect that. You didn't even offer that man no fellatio or nothing for us.

I did. I asked him I was like, hey, I'll take you to dinner. You know, I was, you know, what did you say? I will give you fellatio. Well, I mean, it's Trey songs. He should already know that. Like, it's not true. True. You're making a valid point.

Okay. My goodness. Anyway, just leave him alone. You got a point. You're making a valid point. Girl, this is not... Okay. My goodness. Anyway, just leave him alone. Don't expect anything. Continue to be a fan and a supporter and just chill. For things like that, you really have to call on people that are very close to you, not somebody that you've met three times. Yeah, you can't push him.

But my thing was when I told... All right, all right, all right, okay. Juicy, don't make me... Juicy. No, wait, let me tell you. When I told my grandma, like, she just was like, oh, my God, it's the end of the world. So I stopped telling people, you know? I was like, oh, well, I can't tell nobody else.

Because she started crying. She's like, oh, you're going to die. So I was like, if I tell anybody else close to me... Who got breast cancer? She does. She has a lump. Oh, you got breast cancer? She doesn't know.

She got a lump. Yes. You have breast cancer? It's a you got breast cancer. She doesn't know. She got a lump. Yes. You have breast cancer? It's a lump in my breast. She doesn't know what it is. Well, you don't know what it is, but I say this. You need to go to the damn doctor, not Trey Songz. I did go to the doctor.

I made two appointments, and that's why I told him. I was like, hey, could you come meet for the one where she's going to give me the results? So she's waiting on Trey Songz to go to the doctor? Girl, just go handle your business and worry about yourself, okay? If you don't hang up on this dumbass girl. Oh my God. Juicy, good luck to you, man. I would have mercy. We hope that you don't have

rest in love. You be trying to have patience with these people and then you talking to them and as soon as you call it stupid, you the bad guy. That was the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Juicy, if you're listening, hit up Charlamagne and hit up Yee and ask them to go with you. I'm not coming with you. Charlamagne's busy.

I got two daughters. I work hard. I got a lot of other things that I got to deal with. You're with your little entitled ass. Charlamagne, get out of here, okay? That's crazy. That is crazy to me. The problem is that you were listening from the beginning, so you didn't hear all that.

Nah, I didn't even. I got lost. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you got a question for Yee, call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Vine from Detroit. What up, dawg? What up, dawg? Shout out to the D.

What's good? What's your question for Yeezy? Nothing. Okay, well, I'm from Detroit. My baby daddy, he's from Bedstock, Brooklyn. That's where I live. Okay, but I don't like that right now because I was trying to find him up in Atlanta City or whatever.

We were making our money or whatever. And then this a**hole is out with my money, and we're still going to take a**hole is with my money to take over and we're supposed to take over with another chick with my money. Wait, slow down,

slow down, slow down. So, you guys were in Atlantic City. Y'all was making money together. What were you guys doing? I was tricking folks. Okay, so you're

an escort, a prostitute? Yeah, well, something like that. I was just getting money. We was doing everything we could get money, basically. You know, I like to get money or whatever.

So he's a pimp. But at the end of it, basically, and at the end, well, he do a little bit of everything. I'm just saying like that. He do a little bit of everything. He touch his hands and do a little bit of everything. If he was making money again, I would make the money as well. He went to Turkey and take over with Sputnik and told me I was in a way. I'm in a way. So I did, and I robbed his hands. So wait, hold on, hold on.

You robbed your pimp? What'd you take? What'd you take? What size are those Rolexes? Shut up, Envy. I'm sorry. Go ahead. So you robbed your baby daddy along with his other baby mom?

Yeah. And she don't like me because I caught her watching to give her half up. But it's just the point that he want me to move out there. How can I like together? You know what I'm saying? I work a quick and long and I go to school. I'm going to school or whatever. And now he's telling me that he ain't taking care of my son

unless I pay him. So he's not going to take care of the child you guys have together unless you pay him? Yep. Isn't that his job to kind of pay to take care of his own child? He said he can't take care of my son unless I take care of the family. And I told him, I said, no, I'm not about to do that.

And then now it's tax season. He's talking, I don't know how to manage money. And he's trying to get my money. No, I'm not about to give you my money. Well, okay. I'm broke. There's a lot get my money. No, I'm not about to give you my money. Well, okay. I'm broke. There's a lot going on here. Yeah, he just bought a $6,000 truck.

Talk about he's broke. Okay, I think you got to sort these things out. Number one, first and foremost, for the sake of your child, right? Mm-hmm. You're not trying to be with him, are you? I don't know. You don't know. So, in a way, you are. You want to get back together with him.

I just want to get some money. Hey, boo, all money ain't good money, though, right? So it's hard out here. I'm just saying, don't you want to be there for your child and be a good example and a role model and make sure nothing happens to you and you don't go to jail or something worse happens? Yeah, that's the only thing. That's in a way. You know what I'm saying?

I was like, you know, I can't be doing all that because I can't get locked up. You know what I'm saying? I was like, you know, I can't be doing all that because I can't get locked up. You know what I'm saying? I've never been to jail. And you will get locked up at some point. And I don't think jail's for me. I'm sitting up here for eight hours. I don't think it's for you either. Listen, in my own opinion, I think

that you should be happy that you managed to get away from this man that was a pimp and doing everything else because that was just going to go down the wrong path for you. Listen, we all managed to get away from this man that was a pimp and doing everything else because that was just going to go down the wrong path for you. Listen, we all want to get money, right? But sometimes you've got to sacrifice and go through periods of time that we're not making that much money so that later on in the future, in a couple of years from now, you can legitimately make good money.

Well, I go to law school. I'm entering to law school the year after next. But he talking about that's in the way. Why are you even listening to what he has to say about what you want to do with your life? Because he telling me I need direction. No, it sounds like somebody that's advising you to not go to school and not go to law school and saying that that's getting in the way is actually in the way himself. It sounds like in order for him to control you,

he wants to make sure that you never make something more out of your life. Yeah, you're right. So I ain't going back out there. He's right there. And you know he mess with mad other chicks, too. Oh, of course. And he's telling them the same thing. He brought me to his other chicks.

And you're okay with that? Yeah, I mean, I'm not even in on it. I'm going to tell you something right now. We always say, well, at least he ain't lying. Well, at least he kept it real. At least he's up front about it. These other dudes out here be lying. No, it's not at least that.

It's not okay for somebody to do stuff like that to you just because they being honest about it. Yeah, you're right. But, I mean, I prefer somebody to tell me the truth. How about you would rather somebody not do that? You got to expect better for yourself and have better expectations for yourself. How about be with somebody that doesn't do those things, that's not bringing you to other women's houses, that's not cheating on you, that helps you take care of your family,

that supports you and wants you to go to school and do better for your life? Why can't you find somebody like that? Man, that's some square stuff, though. Like, these guys are weird. They want you to give them money, and then they ain't doing nothing for you. Listen, forget about them doing something for you. What about you doing something for yourself? I mean, I can do something for myself.

I got my own s***. All right, good. Well, you keep your own and take care of your child and handle that. Instead of thinking about getting this fast money, think about securing a bag for later on in the future, having a foundation, having your education together so you can do and be anything you want to be in life.

Yeah, you're right. I'm going to take that advice. Y'all have a good day. All right. You too. I hope you don't call him right now. Hey, guys, I'm Kate Max.
